Chapter 111 The Thief
Chapter 110
Fu Muyu's wary gaze gradually softened. "It seems the owner of this giant eye is targeting the research institute."
It's likely related to the intruders who triggered the alarm at the research institute.
"Let's go back." Fu Muyu didn't believe that someone who had pulled off such a grand scheme couldn't escape the research institute.
The research institute's protective measures, while seemingly rigorous, were not as foolproof as they had anticipated.
While the people in the research institute were distracted by the giant eye, Long Yangyang secretly stole a lot of their research results that they had placed in a corner.
After safely returning to the villa, the two said goodnight to each other and went to their respective rooms to rest.
……
The next day, Long Yangyang was awakened by the noisy commotion outside the window. It was so noisy. Long Yangyang turned over, rolled up the quilt, and snuggled into the pillow, clearly not wanting to get up.
"I'm going to visit Miss Qingqing. Where did this thief come from, stealing Miss Qingqing's things?"
"That's right, that's right. If it weren't for Miss Qingqing's precognitive abilities, how could we have taken cover in advance and avoided being drowned by the rainstorm? You don't know, but the survivors who just arrived at the base said that they lived on the tenth floor and were not drowned by the accumulated rainwater."
However, the survivors below the eighth floor who didn't run upstairs were basically all drowned by the heavy rain.
"Miss Qingqing said that the stolen information is related to superpowers, specifically a potion to enhance the abilities of superpowered individuals. This thief is going too far."
"Yes, it's dangerous outside with zombies and mutated plants and animals. If there really were a drug that could enhance our abilities, we would be much safer going out."
"That's right, that's right. Many people with superpowers have spontaneously formed an inspection team, saying they want to help Miss Qingqing catch this thief. Let's hurry up and sign up."
"Wait, I'm going too."
······
Qiu Qingqing? Stealing? Long Yangyang scratched her hair, annoyed, and got out of bed. Upon hearing this, Long Yangyang's first reaction was: This woman is up to no good.
However, to Long Yangyang's surprise, so many superhumans in the base were paying the price for Qiu Qingqing's actions. Were they stupid?
Long Yangyang finished tidying up and went downstairs, where she saw that Pao Shanzhen and Pao Haiwei had already prepared breakfast and were now idly playing cards with Qiu Ling.
"Uncle Pao, Brother Dahai, aren't you going to the restaurant today?" Long Yangyang looked up at the clock on the wall.
It's 9:30 already, that's right. Usually, these two would have gone to Zuixianju long ago to prepare for business.
"No need, everyone outside is looking for the thief. I doubt many superhumans will be interested in eating at the restaurant today," Pao Haiwei explained.
"You're up?" Fu Muyu's eyes lit up with a smile when he saw Long Yangyang. "Hurry up and eat your breakfast. I've been keeping it warm for you."
Long Yangyang walked quickly to the dining table and sat down. She picked up a small steamed bun. It was delicious. The filling was made of mutated pork. Long Yangyang had been very successful recently. Mutated meat was the last thing she needed in her space.
“Yangyang, we’re discussing renovating the study on the second floor to make it a laboratory for Wu Heng and Xiao Tu,” Yun Cangshu said.
Long Yangyang nodded. It was a good suggestion. Wu Heng was skilled in weapon making and had awakened metal-type and brain-based superpowers.
Xiao Tu is skilled in communication and computers, and has awakened magnetic field and brain domain abilities. Both of their brain domain abilities are related to their areas of expertise, so their talents should not be wasted.
"What materials and equipment do you need for your research? I'll look for them in my space." Long Yangyang's space was indeed filled with a lot of miscellaneous things, especially research instruments and equipment. She didn't understand them, so she just listened to Fu Muyu and filled them up.
"If that's not enough, we can look outside the base."
"Thank you, Miss," Wu Heng and Xiao Tu said.
"Young Miss, could your Yu Yu provide me with some corn bullets and shells for research?" Wu Heng was very interested in Yu Yu's corn when he first saw it in battle.
It's practically a living ammunition depot, especially now that weapons production has stalled. The base wants to set up a weapons factory, but where can they easily find the equipment and personnel?
"Sure." Long Yangyang recruited Yu Yu because she was optimistic about the other's skills. Whether it was corn bullets or cannonballs, they were simply powerful weapons. The only drawback might be that it couldn't distinguish between friend and foe.
Long Yangyang generously gave Wu Heng a hundred ears of corn. "Yu Yu's corn kernels are like bullets. As long as you don't use your special abilities, you can just peel the kernels and they won't explode."
"Study these first. If you need more, just let me know and I'll give you more."
"Thank you, Miss." Wu Heng held the corn kernels as if they were precious treasures, handling them carefully as if they were his own children, and carried them upstairs. "Boss, Miss, I'm going to the study to study now. Let me know if anything happens."
"Wu Heng, wait for me! We need to study Yueyao's protective shield first. Wait a minute." Seeing Wu Heng rushing upstairs, Xiao Tu quickly followed. "Boss, Miss, I'll go first."
"Oh, you look so energetic," Long Yangyang commented, taking a leisurely sip of her corn porridge.
"Mom, where are Aunt Yueqing and Mu Heng?" Long Yangyang noticed that everyone else in their special ability group was staying at home, except for these three.
"Aunt Song and Mu Heng went to the farm. The crops that were harvested during the heavy rain and some stored grains have all become moldy."
We brought some mutated corn, so in order to store as much food as possible, the base gathered wood-type and earth-type ability users to plant the mutated corn.
"Aunt Yueqing said she went to find her brother," Bai Zhi replied.
"By the way, Yangyang, Aunt Yueqing said that the eldest brother's uncle is an exceptionally talented researcher. He developed that superpower detection device, which is really amazing. I just don't know if he has any research results that we can use?"
Long Yangyang didn't know much about Ming Lelu. After all, he was an elder, and he was usually busy. In her memory, she only met him during holidays, exchanged greetings, and at most knew him.
The novel doesn't describe the research institute much, so she doesn't know what research achievements they have made. However, based on what she has seen so far, the zombie virus detector and the superpower testing device should be the fruits of their wisdom.
"Yangyang, do you still have breakfast here?" Long Yuanchen came in through the front door looking tired. "Mom went to the farm and didn't leave me any food."
"Yes, there is." Long Yangyang pointed to the breakfast on the table.
"So many, Yangyang, I knew you had good stuff here." Long Yuanchen looked at the steamed buns, shumai, soy milk, and corn porridge on the table and silently swallowed his saliva.
What was a common breakfast before the apocalypse has now become a delicacy.
Thinking of the rice porridge and steamed buns in the cafeteria, Long Yuanchen felt that coming to his sister's place for a free meal was a wise decision.
After all, my younger sister likes to sleep in and usually won't get out of bed before 9 a.m. The father and son, who are in charge of breakfast, will definitely save some for her.
