CHAPTER 38: CHAPTER 38: SUPER GHOST NEST, SUCCESSFUL TRANSACTION
"Commander, what should we do?"
Everyone looked at Jia Weixin.
Commander Jia Weixin first asked a question: "Is there still no response from that alien civilization next door?"
"No, they seem more interested in us and not in this huge Firepower Flying Disc," the adviser said.
Jia Weixin nodded and then said in a deep voice, "Have someone evaluate the value of that corpse and test the other side’s attitude."
Immediately, professionals went to assess the value of the Ancient Lynx’s stone.
The value was quickly assessed: "A beast reaching the first limit threshold, in terms of value... using a cooling unit for calculation, it is worth at most ten thousand cooling units."
Cooling units aren’t worth much; they’re made of common materials and just have runes stamped on them by assembly line.
But ten thousand is quite a lot.
Jia Weixin took a loudspeaker and said to the Firepower Flying Disc, "Friend, your goods are only worth ten thousand cooling units."
However, the Firepower Flying Disc did not react at all.
The adviser reminded, "Commander, the Firepower Flying Disc doesn’t have a microphone. If the other side just enlarged the Firepower Flying Disc, then the internal features haven’t changed. We can write on the ground to communicate if they truly want to trade."
"Then write on the ground, and make it big," Jia Weixin nodded.
"Commander, what should we write?" the person responsible for writing asked.
Jia Weixin: "Your goods are worth only ten thousand cooling units, and ten thousand bullets can be sent to you for free."
"Okay."
Soon, that person wrote these two sentences on the ground.
A few seconds later, the huge Firepower Flying Disc suddenly descended.
"Careful!"
"Protect the commander!"
Everyone’s expression changed, with some Superpower Users even preparing to attack.
However, after the huge Firepower Flying Disc descended a few meters, it slowly rose back to its original height.
Then—
There was nothing more.
"What does this mean?"
Everyone looked bewildered.
The adviser thoughtfully said, "This should mean ’nodding,’ the other side agreed to this trade."
Commander Jia Weixin thought for a moment, then waved his hand: "Remove the corpse of the Ancient Lynx, retrieve ten thousand cooling units and ten thousand bullets, place them in a supply drop box, and hang it up. Also, put a ’receipt’ inside it to see if communication is possible."
He wanted to recruit that mysterious Superpower User.
This ability to enlarge items proportionally many times over amazed him, even if it was only temporary enlargement, it was still impressive.
For instance, the Firepower Flying Disc, regardless of the power of the shells it fired, its sheer terrifying momentum made it a super useful transport tool.
Soon, specialized personnel removed the corpse of the Ancient Lynx from the hook, followed by someone hanging a supply drop box filled with cooling units and bullets.
Everyone stepped back a distance, and a few seconds later, they saw the enormous Firepower Flying Disc slowly rise into the air.
During this process, those combat members divided some of their attention towards the alien cluster kilometers away to see if there would be any reaction.
Yet, as the Firepower Flying Disc rose higher and higher and vanished into the clouds, the alien clump still showed no reaction, with no intention of intercepting the Firepower Flying Disc.
"Is this it? Was it just a simple trade?"
"What else?"
"Well, that’s good, that’s good, you scared me, I thought it was really aliens."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, although they were a bit disappointed that the huge Firepower Flying Disc wasn’t from other teams, but from a lone Superpower User, there was at least one less hassle.
However, they were also a bit puzzled.
"Why didn’t that alien clump intercept the Firepower Flying Disc?"
"Could it really be like what we saw, that they don’t care about us outsiders at all?"
Everyone frowned.
Commander Jia Weixin pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "All Combat Superpower Users stay behind to cover the retreat, everyone else evacuates, and go around the path ahead."
Since the other side is ignoring them, they should temporarily not contact them, or else they’ll be too passive given the disparity in power.
"Yes!!"
Everyone’s spirits lifted.
Under coordinated military efforts, the army protected all scientists, engineers, ordinary residents in the safe area, and so on, quickly retreating.
Jia Weixin personally stayed behind to provide cover along with other Combat Superpower Users.
However—
More than ten minutes later, those retreated large troops suddenly returned from behind.
The large troops saw the safe area ahead, especially seeing Commander Jia Weixin, everyone froze.
Seeing this familiar new safe area, everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Why did you come back? Didn’t I tell you to take a detour?" Jia Weixin asked angrily.
"Sir, we took a detour. I have been walking forward, but somehow, while walking, I met you. I thought you took a shortcut and got ahead of us," Li Liangcai said.
Commander Jia Weixin’s face changed, his heart suddenly sinking.
Even if he was somewhat slow, he understood now.
Not only he, but others also realized.
The adviser’s face turned livid as he said, "This is troublesome, that so-called alien cluster is likely not alive at all, we might have entered a super haunted lair!!"
A super haunted lair capable of trapping five to six thousand people!
And it is filled with many Superpower Users who have broken through or are close to the first limit!
Currently, the super haunted lair seems to only trap living beings and does not obstruct the departure of dead objects.
But this information is of little use to them.
"This super haunted lair doesn’t appear to be very aggressive, only keeping us trapped here, our real trouble now is the increasingly high temperature."
Commander Jia Weixin’s face looked grim: "The Marvel ’Cloud Soaring’ has a price for its use, we can’t sustain it for long, we must find a way to leave here, or destroy this super haunted lair!"
...
"This trade went unexpectedly smoothly."
Under the nightfall, in the small compartment of the safe area, a hint of joy flashed in Yang Yuan’s eyes.
Although he couldn’t exchange for a million cooling units, ten thousand is enough to use, allowing him to gain ten thousand experience points in a short time.
In addition, there are ten thousand pistol bullets, enough to significantly upgrade the pistols of both him and Zhao Jiayan.
"Sister Jiayan... big brother, sister Jiayan has woken up!"
Suddenly, Jiang Yiyi’s joyful voice came in.
Yang Yuan’s face lit up with joy, and he quickly left his small compartment, arriving outside Zhao Jiayan’s compartment.
"Big brother, sister Jiayan has woken up," Jiang Yiyi stood at the door of Zhao Jiayan’s compartment and exclaimed happily.
Zhao Jiayan had already sat up, rubbing her temples. Seeing Yang Yuan, she asked, "My head hurts. How long did I sleep?"
"A day and a night, it’s going to be daylight soon."
Yang Yuan said, "You worked hard this time, in the future, unless necessary, try not to use your superpower, or not be so desperate, it’s not good if you hurt your foundation."
"I also want to end this damned natural disaster."
Zhao Jiayan smiled weakly, obviously guessing Yang Yuan’s plan.
Because Yang Yuan had previously mentioned that he wanted to buy an aircraft and modify it, then go and kill the Drought Fiend.
And that kind of Firepower Flying Disc is far more powerful than ordinary bombers.
Because of this, she tried her best to repair the Firepower Flying Disc.
Having personally seen Yang Yuan ’repair’ the changes in firearms and safe houses, she could already guess that Yang Yuan’s ability might be to strengthen or magically modify items.
Although she thought it was a bit far-fetched, considering those Drought Fiends couldn’t even be killed by nuclear bombs.
Such a small Firepower Flying Disc, no matter how much it is magically modified, could its power surpass a nuclear bomb?
However, since someone is willing to do it, she is willing to fully support.
What if it really succeeds?
What if!
Honestly, constantly fleeing was really too uncomfortable.
Yang Yuan looked at the faintly energetic Zhao Jiayan and softy said, "This natural disaster will soon be over!"
"Mm."
Zhao Jiayan didn’t say she believes but didn’t say she didn’t believe either, not wanting to dampen Yang Yuan’s confidence.
"The flying disc is back." Suddenly, Yang Yuan said, then opened the Safe House door and smiled while looking into the distance.
Zhao Jiayan curiously looked up, and the next moment her eyes suddenly widened.
