This base is called Thunder Base, the name is a bit cheesy. However, after entering the base, Chu Jiangyue discovered that the residents here seemed to be in much worse condition than those from Cheng Yuchen’s base before.
There is a... feeling of being a soulless walking corpse.
Thinking of this, Chu Jiangyue frowned slightly.
Many people, upon seeing Chu Jiangyue’s group entering the base, just glanced over and went back to their own business, showing no curiosity whatsoever.
Previously at Cheng Yuchen’s Chenxi Base, some humanity could still be seen in the residents, but unexpectedly, Thunder Base has turned people into zombies.
Chu Jiangyue exchanged glances with Shen Zhigui and the others but did not speak.
It didn’t take long for someone to stop Chu Jiangyue and the group, and upon seeing this person, the residents showed a look of fear.
Each one seemed eager to grow wings and fly away, but for some unknown reason, they merely walked away at a normal pace.
"I heard the base has new members, and they’re quite the dashing couple!"
Upon seeing Chu Jiangyue, Bian Tai’s eyes lit up. However, not knowing Chu Jiangyue and the group’s strength, he restrained himself and kept his distance.
Chu Jiangyue looked at Bian Tai expressionlessly, showing no intention of engaging with him.
The others followed Chu Jiangyue’s lead, ignoring Bian Tai as well.
Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Bian Tai’s face fell as he gestured to his sidekick.
"Humph! Brother Tai asked you a question, how dare you ignore it? Do you know who Brother Tai is?"
"This is our first time at Thunder Base, of course, we don’t know who this Brother Tai you’re referring to is."
Chu Jiangyue looked at him as if he were an idiot, thinking that if they knew Brother Tai, they wouldn’t be here for the first time.
"My Brother Tai is the biological brother of the base leader. If you offend Brother Tai, beware that he might make things very difficult for you!"
"So you’re the privileged ones, huh?"
Chu Jiangyue said this with a slightly sarcastic tone.
Bian Tai’s face darkened upon hearing this.
He knew he was privileged, but though it’s easy for him to say it, it’s hard to hear. He could claim that he was privileged, but others could not mention it.
It’s typical of only allowing officials to set fire, not the commoners.
"It’s good you know, now hurry and apologize to Brother Tai!"
The sidekick glared fiercely at Chu Jiangyue and the others, entirely disregarding the fact that Chu Jiangyue and his group dared to venture deep into the base, proving they had confidence in their strength and were sure they could exit the base unharmed.
However, it was clear that some people wouldn’t consider this point.
"What if we don’t apologize?"
Jin Chuyu stood upright, looking slightly displeased at Bian Tai.
"No apology, then stay as my thirty-sixth concubine!"
Bian Tai’s words made Chu Jiangyue and the group resentful.
Thirty-sixth concubine meant he already had thirty-five women.
This was public; in private, how many more?
And who can guarantee that these concubines are all real?
Chu Jiangyue pursed his lips. It seemed that this Thunder Base, due to the leader’s inaction or the leader’s involvement, made the residents completely lose the desire to live.
This kind of base has no reason to exist!
"Dream on!"
Huo Jun couldn’t stand seeing Jin Chuyu being teased, his hands activated his superpower, and he didn’t hesitate to attack Bian Tai.
He wielded Dark Ability; as long as his power touched someone, it would slowly erode their sanity, eventually turning them into fools.
Huo Jun’s ability was truly an invisible lethal weapon.
"How dare you use abilities on my turf, you must be tired of living!"
"Someone, arrest them!"
Chu Jiangyue and the others quickly activated their abilities.
On the opposing side, there was only one Level 4 Fire Ability User, which Jin Chuyu alone could fully suppress.
As for other superpower users, dealing with Chu Jiangyue and the group was like cutting through watermelon.
Bian Tai himself was a rookie with an Earth Ability, seeing the Level 4 Ability User defeated in one move, he quickly used Earth Escape and disappeared somewhere.
After Bian Tai left, Jin Chuyu released the Fire Ability User he had just restrained and backed off silently.
"You know Bian Tai and his brother aren’t suitable base leaders, why don’t you try to overthrow them and take charge yourself?"
Being a base leader is much better than working for someone else.
The Level 4 Fire Ability User said anxiously and bitterly: "It’s not that easy. Bian Tai isn’t a threat; the problem is his brother."
If it weren’t for Bian Zhong backing him, Bian Tai couldn’t be so arrogant.
Just his measly Level 2 Earth Ability with an Earth Escape as a life-saving trick, and only with his brother does Bian Tai dare to act so outrageously.
"Is his brother also a superpower user?"
Without being a superpower user, Chu Jiangyue couldn’t understand why they were afraid of him.
The Level 4 Fire Ability User nodded, and at the mention of Bian Tai’s brother, his expression also soured.
Seeing so many people wary of Bian Tai’s brother’s ability, Chu Jiangyue became curious about his power.
However, Chu Jiangyue hadn’t forgotten his purpose this time.
"Enough about such disappointing people, I’m here this time for some promotion.
Let me formally introduce myself; we are from the Jianglin Hotel in City B, and our entry into the base is just a passing visit.
My hotel warmly welcomes everyone to stay! Also, apart from promoting my hotel, I’m here to sell something this time.
Are you interested?"
Then, Chu Jiangyue took out the cold-resistant thermal set.
"This is..."
The Level 4 Fire Ability User noticed the outfit, similar to what Shen Zhigui and the others wore.
"Do you know why we stay warm despite wearing so little? The reason lies in this piece."
Chu Jiangyue ripped open the outer packaging, then took out the clothes.
"It’s called a cold-resistant thermal set. You can buy a set for 60 Level 1 Zombie Crystal Cores. Of course, if you have Level 2 or Level 3, or even higher-level cores, feel free to trade them."
With the cold-resistant thermal set, the superpower users in the base should better deal with those bizarre brothers.
Upon hearing Chu Jiangyue’s words, everyone’s eyes lit up.
If this set proved authentic, they might really escape from this prison-like base.
Even now, a group didn’t want to confront the Bian brothers.
Unaware of their thoughts, Chu Jiangyue was busy selling the cold-resistant thermal set.
"Was it you who bullied my brother?"
Suddenly, a voice came from not far away, and the previous bustling place fell silent.
Everyone except Chu Jiangyue’s group halted their actions, bowing their heads.
