Chapter 198: Recruitment

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

At this moment, Yuan Bo and Lin Pei were testing the people who came to join Ye Xingchen’s team.

Yuan Bo and Lin Pei stood together with a large group of mutants behind them. At first, some superpowered people wanted to attack the mutants immediately when they saw them, but they were stopped by the two of them.

The mutants stood obediently around Lin Pei, with him as the center. This made them very confused. Mutants would usually yearn to eat humans when they saw them. No one had ever said that these mutants could be controlled. After Lin Pei’s explanation, everyone sucked in a breath. There was actually a person who controlled the mutants?! However, when they thought about how humans could awaken their superpowers now, they felt that it was normal.

Everyone exclaimed, “How terrifying! With such a powerful ability, wouldn’t he be able to summon mutants to form an army? No wonder Ye Xingchen’s team has such harsh recruitment requirements. They are all monsters!”

If they had the chance to see the “Prophecy Dog Little Black,”” Invisible Man Qin Tianming,” and “Lightning Mo Qi,” their expressions would be even more interesting. However, these three people were Ye Xingchen’s secret weapons, and those who weren’t core figures would never know.

Yuan Bo and the others did not pay attention to the exclamations of the people who came to participate in the test at this moment. This time, they specially asked Lin Pei to come out to intimidate these people in case an accident happened.

“We have two principles for recruiting people. Let me make it clear to you first.” “The first rule is that our group does not accept useless people. Everyone in our group has their own value. Only then can we become stronger and stronger.” “The second and most important rule is that you must be loyal to our group. You must firmly support our leader, Ye Xingchen. Only he can lead us to survive in this chaotic world. As long as he is here, we will never lack food. If we find any traitors, they will definitely be executed.”

When some people heard that there would never be a lack of food, their eyes lit up, but some people felt that it was an exaggeration.

However, no matter what, it was definitely a good choice to join this team, and no one gave up halfway.

“All of you, show me your abilities.” Yuan Bo commanded them. Lin Pei didn’t say anything the whole time, he just stood there quietly. If anything happened, Lin Pei would immediately command the mutants to deal with it.

Half an hour passed, and the test was over. Many people were eliminated. Their mutated abilities were not worth recruiting. Only twenty people passed the test. These people were either extremely strong or extremely fast. They were all true warriors.

After the recruitment, Yuan Bo and Lin Pei immediately reported the results to Ye Xingchen. Ye Xingchen was very satisfied with the recruitment. People who didn’t awaken extraordinary abilities like Mo Qi and Qin Tianming were easier to control.

Ye Xingchen distributed a large amount of food to these newcomers as usual Everyone was surprised and sighed when they saw this. They hated that they had not met such a good leader like Ye Xingchen earlier. All of them were eating delicious food while expressing their loyalty to Ye Xingchen, swearing to follow him.

Ye Xingchen smiled noncommittally when he saw this. Whether or not they could stay here depended on their performance. If they wanted to come here to eat and drink, they had to contribute.

As long as the people who sincerely joined their team had a steady food supply they would naturally rely on this place over time. There was no doubt about this.

Long before the recruitment, Ye Xingchen had specially informed Yuan Bo and Lin Pei that those with extraordinary abilities would not be considered for the time being. Now that the situation was chaotic, it was very dangerous to recruit people.

There was no other way. The destructive power of certain superpowered people could not be compared to ordinary people. If a spy from another base came in, it would definitely be a disaster.

At this moment, in a very luxurious base in Jinghai City, a middle-aged man with a scar on his face was sitting on a chair, smoking a cigar and drinking red wine.

Before the apocalypse, he was just a small-time mercenary captain with a group of brothers under him. He lived a life of fear every day to earn money. Now, this era was like a fish in water for people like him.

This person’s name was Gao Qiwen. When the cold wave descended on Earth the sudden drop in temperature caused a power outage, a shortage of water ’ resources, a shortage of food, and a series of effects such as traffic obstruction that seriously affected the normal operation of society.

At this time, in order to survive, they couldn’t care less about law and morality. In fact, in the apocalyptic era, law and morality were useless.

The money that Gao Qiwen and his team had earned risking their lives became useless. In the end, driven by human nature, they began to kill and plunder resources.

This base was originally a military fortress built by a super-rich man in Jinghai City. He had previously intended to recruit Gao Qiwen and the others as bodyguards, but it was later occupied by Gao Qiwen and his group. The rich man and his family were brutally killed. Human nature could be said to be twisted to the extreme.

A series of clicking sounds could be heard as a woman in silver-white high heels walked toward Gao Qiwen with a document in her hand.

She was wearing a silky and seductive off-shoulder shirt and a black miniskirt revealing her fair and slender legs. She looked sexy and fashionable.

“Chief, this is the information we’ve collected recently about the few bases,’’ she said as she handed over the document.

The resources in this base had long been depleted. They were able to survive until today because they had robbed the resources of one base after another. This time, they recruited many superpowered people, and their daily resource expenditure increased by a lot. They had no choice but to continue searching for large bases to plunder, and this was what they were best at.

This leader is called Ye Xingchen. He’s quite interesting. It’s said that in the month before the cold wave arrived, he had accumulated over ten billion worth of resources. Have you found out what kind of superpowered people he has in his base?”

“We don’t know Ye Xingchen’s ability yet, but according to our investigation Ye Xingchen values a man named Zhao Hao. His limbs are extremely hard and he’s invulnerable. There are dozens of people in his base, and Ye Xingchen’s team never recruits ordinary people, which means that almost all of them have special abilities. If we want to attack them, this will definitely be more troublesome than any base we have encountered before.” The woman replied seriously, her words expressing her fear of Ye Xingchen and the others.

Gao Qiwen put down the cigar in his hand and slowly stood up. He said to the woman, “The risk is proportional to the reward. I have a feeling that if we can successfully occupy their base this time, we won’t have to worry about supplies for the next few decades.”

It had to be said that his premonition was very accurate, and the woman was quite excited after hearing what he said. If that was really the case, then it was very worth it. Even if she failed, she could just return to the base and continue living in seclusion. f reenovelkiss.com

“Send Ling Yun and Cang Feng to gather information. If there’s an opportunity, we can test Ye Xingchen’s ability.”

Their base had experienced many battles, big and small, but there were very few that Gao Qiwen was prepared to fight personally. It was obvious how seriously they took Ye Xingchen.

Inside the safety fortress, Ye Xingchen looked at the heavy rain outside and started to set his sights on the forest outside the fortress. He planned to find a way to use the open space outside as the defense of the fortress. After he started recruiting superpowered people recently, he had a feeling that someone would attack him soon.

With an idea in mind, Ye Xingchen immediately began to carry it out. Anyway, what he lacked the least was materials. He took Little Black and Mo Qi to select a few people who were originally engaged in construction from the safety fortress and distributed a set of protective clothing to each of them to resist the acid rain.

Some people seemed to be deliberately showing off their strength in front of Ye Xingchen. They didn’t put on protective clothing and started working right away. Seeing this, Ye Xingchen didn’t say anything. These people who had awakened their abilities were indeed ridiculously strong. He sighed and wished that he was as strong as them.

Seven days later, ten defense towers and a city wall made of steel were erected in the open space. The defense towers could effectively attack the enemy’s air and ground forces, while the city wall could block the enemy’s attacks and effectively lure the enemy’s firepower..
