Chapter 63 The Dying Man
Li Yi happened to be looking directly into the eyes of the two men.
Disgusted and not wanting to look at it again, Yu Miaomiao quickly glanced away.
What bad luck, running into this weirdo again.
Judging from his skin color, Yu Miaomiao would believe he was a dead corpse.
There were even some bluish-green patches on his face, like lividity, making him look like a dying man.
Seeing the disdain in Yu Miaomiao's eyes, Li Yi was so angry that he dug his nails into his flesh, drawing blood.
But no one noticed that the blood was green.
"You dare to accept this mission?"
This time, however, Li Yi wouldn't let Yu Miaomiao get the mission so easily.
Yu Miaomiao saw that he was followed by seven or eight team members and understood.
They're relying on the fact that there are many of them, that they've stood up, and that they think they can do it again.
She couldn't help but chuckle. "What, did you post this task? Or is there a specific note stating that I can't accept it?"
Li Yi's face was extremely pale, and he could hardly contain his anger.
That damn woman, she's embarrassed him once, twice, three times, making him lose face in public.
He did not intend to activate his power in the mission hall, which was also collapsing due to the super earthquake, and a military squad was on site handling rescue and reconstruction.
Because it's inside the base, taking action is inherently troublesome. Last time, I didn't dare to make a move even without the military present, so it's even more difficult to do so now. However, once this bastard walks out of this door today, his life or death is irrelevant.
The earthquake killed many people. If we killed those two women and buried them under any of the rubble, no one would suspect anything.
Thinking this way, Li Yi felt a little better and even made way for Yu Miaomiao. He was about to die anyway, so what was wrong with letting her take on the mission?
Judging from his expression, he must be up to no good.
Yu Miaomiao came to the mission hall this time just to see what the reward was for the computer recycling mission.
Without arguing with them any longer, I walked to the only remaining task panel in the hall, clicked on the task posted by the research institute, and sure enough, I saw a relevant task.
[Urgent Task: Recover complete computer systems and components]
[Task Priority: High]
[Task Requirements: Regardless of whether they are damaged or not, all parts must be recycled and tested. Damaged parts and components will be recycled at 3 sub-crystals per piece, and complete machines at 10,000 sub-crystals per piece, depending on machine performance, with no upper limit.]
[Task duration: Until the end of July of the first year]
The reward for this task truly astonished Yu Miaomiao, and Xu Nanwei next to her stared wide-eyed, counting on her fingers, and then exclaimed, "1, 2, 3, 4... that's so many zeros!"
With so many sub-crystals, how can we possibly use them all?
"Take it. If you're reluctant to part with your own, we can look around outside. What if we get lucky?"
Xu Nanwei tugged at Yu Miaomiao's sleeve and whispered.
Before she could finish speaking, Yu Miaomiao had already clicked the accept button.
Such missions are rare and hard to come by. Currently, the base missions offer relatively generous amounts of sub-crystals, but as the apocalypse progresses, the mission rewards will only decrease, while the prices in the base dungeons will increase.
The reason is simple: resources are becoming increasingly scarce.
However, for Ya Jing, this was more about planning ahead.
Just now, she remembered why Ye Jian looked so familiar.
Firstly, the man he bumped into in the bar in the beautiful country before the apocalypse was Ye Jian. Back then, he was a handsome young man, but now the apocalypse has turned him into an old man.
Secondly, the name Ye Jian, in the memories of the previous life, this person created many myths of apocalyptic machinery. He mainly focused on the field of military firearms, but in the previous life he also participated in scientific research in the fields of mecha, aerospace and other fields.
If nothing unexpected happens, the gun in the dungeon shop should be his creation.
He truly deserves the title of a peerless national hero.
We need to find a way to secure this opportunity; this task is a stepping stone.
After accepting the mission, they hurriedly left the mission hall, not even wanting to give Li Yi, who was grinning maliciously to the side, a glance.
This time, however, the tail has caught up.
Yu Miaomiao felt that Li Yi was like a persistent ghost.
It wasn't until she witnessed Li Yi's supernatural abilities that she realized he was actually a genuine ghost.
Turning into the passageway next to the square, she found the place where she had made her deal with He Yusen last time. According to her observation, there were no surveillance cameras and hardly anyone passed by, making it a perfect corner for causing trouble.
However, the surveillance system stopped working after the earthquake. As long as she doesn't make too much noise and attract attention, it's fine for Qiaoqiao to crush the ants.
Seeing the two turn into the passage, Li Yi decisively ordered his men to quicken their pace, "Quick, go in through the other passage and outflank them."
Today, let this ungrateful woman die a quick and painless death.
The two walked slowly until they were blocked at their exit by people from the opposite side, who were just waiting for them to take the bait.
Yu Miaomiao's eyes darkened. What was bound to happen would happen eventually; they were all practice targets delivered to her doorstep.
Yu Miaomiao used her mental power to investigate, and in her opinion, the level of these people's superpowers was less than a quarter of Li Yi's. How could they be considered the elite team of the underground city?
It's all show and no substance.
This is a new application of her mental ability that she recently mastered. By activating her mental perception network, she can sense the flow of energy around her and detect the size of the energy ring of an ability user's ability.
The principle behind it is unclear, but Yu Miaomiao can see it clearly by using her mental power.
Li Yi's brownish-green energy ring was twice the diameter of the others in his team.
The size of the energy ring determines the strength of the superpower and the duration of its release.
Since the little girl joined the team, she has been training with them every day. She also knows the strength of the little girl's superpower. However, practical experience is also a valuable asset. There's no time like the present, so let her practice.
She tilted her head slightly and asked the little girl in a low voice: Are you scared?
"Don't worry, I'm very capable."
"Okay, go ahead and go for it, I'll cover for you."
Xu Nanwei's air-based ability, when used as an offensive ability, can be used for single-target control or to generate area-of-effect attacks, and it deals massive damage, making it very suitable for 1-on-N combat.
Yu Miaomiao stood behind her, and the little girl focused on controlling her supernatural power.
Seeing that the two men remained unfazed, Li Yi coughed lightly, and the green-haired man standing closest to him spoke first:
"You are all doomed today, so stop struggling. Think it over before you go or beg for mercy. You've probably heard about our captain's methods. It won't look good if you kneel down and beg for mercy later."
"Really? I don't believe it."
"You really don't take me seriously? Kill them, and I'll reward each of them with 10 Asia Crystals today."
"10 sub-crystals? Haha, are we two worth that little? Or are you, Captain Li, just too stingy? Weiwei, kill them, and I'll give you 200 sub-crystals."
"Really?" The little girl's eyes sparkled; she was about to become rich overnight.
Li Yi gritted his teeth in hatred. He was among the first to awaken his superpowers after the apocalypse and had always been in a leading and superior position, but this bastard always made him unhappy.
"What are you standing there for? Get up there!"
While everyone was still marveling at Yu Miaomiao's generosity, the green-haired man was kicked by Li Yi in front of Yu Miaomiao in the next second.
The green-haired man dared not speak out in anger, but instead vented his anger on Yu Miaomiao and the other man, saying, "Damn it, you don't know what's good for you, do you?"
His special ability is earth-based. He slams his palm on the ground, creating spikes that keep approaching Yu Miaomiao and the other person. Unfortunately, the speed is too slow to cause any damage, and they can easily dodge it.
Yu Miaomiao remained calm and whispered behind Xu Nanwei, "That green-haired man is definitely the number one lackey. Let's start by taking him down."
"no problem."
After casting his skill, the green-haired man was about to speak when he opened his mouth but could not make a sound.
His face was flushed and swollen, and he soon collapsed to the ground. He didn't know why he suddenly felt suffocated, as if someone had sucked away the air around him.
Before the members of Yi Tie's team could react, the green-haired man had already died in agony, his face ashen.
Li Yi's expression grew even colder.
He's becoming more and more like a dead person.
