Chapter 51 Mercenary Squad Mission Hall
The three little ones were taken into the transparent house, and Yu Miaomiao and Lu An were like parents sending their children to kindergarten for the first time, reluctant to leave for a long time.
The cubs had never left their side since the day they brought them home. They were always worried about entrusting them to strangers, until they saw He Liang also come to the mutant animal training base.
He was in charge of safety measures. If the mutated pets went berserk, it would be safest and most reliable to use his Shadowwalker ability to take the trainer away.
Of course, this is just a possibility.
Her babies were quite "well-behaved." On the way here, she had quietly instructed them not to grow bigger just to scare people.
They left together and headed to the mission hall of the superhuman mercenary team.
The base does not force ability users to accept and complete tasks every day, but ability users need to earn sub-crystals by completing tasks issued by the base. If they do nothing for so long, they may arouse suspicion and concern from those with ulterior motives about whether they possess a large amount of resources.
After all, Yu Miaomiao is now a publicly known space-type ability user.
In her previous life, Yu Miaomiao was just an ordinary person. This time, it is her first time going to the Superpowered Person Mission Hall.
With some curiosity, I stepped into the hall. Although it was only nine o'clock in the morning, the hall was already very lively.
The task acceptance panel was crowded with ability users vying to accept tasks, with easy tasks or those with high rewards always being popular.
Before long, most of the tasks on the task panel were snapped up, leaving only a few that were difficult to complete or had low rewards.
Just as bustling as the mission pick-up points were the hiring points, where many ability users who couldn't find a team gathered, waiting for newly formed teams to recruit them, or for team members to die and need fresh blood.
In a corner of the crowd was an incongruous figure, her thin body wrapped in a gray-black burlap lining, her dirty head peeking out as she looked around. When she saw the kind-faced captain coming to recruit, she timidly stepped forward to volunteer, but most people, seeing her small stature, silently shook their heads and refused.
In the face of natural disasters and apocalyptic times, when everyone is struggling to survive, who would want to take on a half-grown child as a burden?
Time and again, from disappointment to despair, her small body finally gave up, curling up in a corner and falling silent.
Since entering the mission hall, Yu Miaomiao and Lu An have been constantly being stared at. The two beautiful young women always attract attention. Even though they were dressed very simply and without any makeup, they were still outstanding in appearance among the survivors.
"Isn't this that mukbang influencer?"
Some people in the crowd recognized Yu Miaomiao, which was somewhat unexpected. Since the apocalypse, few people have recognized her. Although she is an internet celebrity, she is a minor flop with only a few hundred thousand followers across the entire internet.
Another commotion erupted as a man dressed in flamboyant and extravagant clothes walked toward them.
Why is it described as gorgeous and extravagant? Because he was dressed in European courtly attire, with a cloak draped over his shoulders, making him look like a figure straight out of a medieval painting.
Yu Miaomiao frowned, trying to control the corners of her mouth that were turning up in uncontrollable laughter. This outfit was too funny, and she really couldn't hold back anymore.
Just as the man was about to approach them, Yu Miaomiao pulled Lu An aside, not wanting to get involved with such an arrogant person.
The man clearly hadn't expected the two to move aside. He paused awkwardly for a moment, then turned back to face them, giving them a stiff smile.
"Miss Yu, have you found a team you like yet?"
"You know me?" Yu Miaomiao was a little confused. Apart from Lu An and He Liang, she had hardly interacted with anyone else in this base.
Looking closely at this man's appearance, you can't say he's ugly, but you can say he's really quite ugly.
The pale, ashen face showed faintly visible bluish-red veins. The loss of facial muscles caused the entire face to sag, with the corners of the eyes and mouth drooping even when relaxed, making the whole face look very unnatural and uncoordinated.
"Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I am Li Yi, the captain of the Yi Tie team. Your performance in the last selection of superhumans was outstanding, and your friend is also very strong."
The man continued to wear a stiff smile, his lips twitching slightly. He was truly frightening when he wasn't smiling, but his smile was chilling.
However, they were quite polite.
The crowd of onlookers erupted in a commotion.
"The Yi Tie team is recruiting, and they won't give up until they get what they want. There's no one they can't invite if they want to. It's just that their methods are..." Someone in the crowd whispered, "I heard that the Yi Tie team offers the most Asia Crystals, but if you don't accept the team invitation, they will beat you until you agree."
Everyone else gasped, worried about the two girls' uneasy life.
The Yi Tie team is extremely well-known in the underground city of the capital. Captain Li Yi only recruits the strongest people and only accepts the most challenging missions. Since the base acquired superhumans, their team has had the highest mortality rate.
Captain Li Yi, on the other hand, made a fortune, as evidenced by his disheveled, rooster-like appearance.
"Hello, but we don't plan to join any other teams." Yu Miaomiao politely declined, thinking to herself, "Wouldn't it be better to be my own team leader? Working for someone else is not as good as being my own boss, humph."
Lu An shook his head directly; wherever Yu Miaomiao was, that's where she would be.
The onlookers gasped again. These two girls were certainly tough, but they didn't know what kind of death threats they would face in the future. The one who hadn't accepted the invitation last week hadn't appeared at the base for a week.
"It's hard for you to find suitable and strong teammates right now. Why not join our team? If you join, you'll get an extra 30% of the sub-crystal points you earn on each mission."
Li Yi did not show any anger, but calmly stated the facts.
Moreover, the price he offered was quite reasonable. The capital base was the first to accept survivors, and now the base has a considerable number of both ordinary survivors and superhumans, and superhuman teams are beginning to take shape.
Now they want to form a team, and the minimum requirement for forming a team is three or more people with superpowers.
However, they don't fight unprepared battles.
Yu Miaomiao actually already had a target teammate in mind. These days, it's better to find someone she knew in her previous life than someone she didn't know anything about.
Moreover, this person had saved his life in his previous life.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we still have to refuse you. There's no point in you saying anything more, so please don't keep bothering us."
Upon hearing this, Li Yi's slightly upturned lips slowly drooped, and he stopped speaking, his eyes revealing a fierce glint. Another ungrateful wretch.
Yu Miaomiao ignored Li Yi, who was standing stiffly in front of them, and walked past him to the mercenary point.
However, at this moment, it is almost impossible for them to recruit people. No one is willing to go against Yi Tie's team in order to join the team of these two girls.
No matter how many sub-crystals there are, nothing is more important than being alive.
