Old Li's eyes flashed as he saw Wang Yu and Lin Hao descend.
He quickly explained to the胖子, "Captain Wang, please don't speak nonsense! They only entered the base yesterday and are staying at my place. They have nothing to do with Youya!"
Wang Yu looked at the胖子 with a fleshy face and smiled slightly, "Captain胖子... ah, Captain Wang, you don't need to say I'm handsome anymore, everyone knows that."
"We only arrived at the base yesterday. I don't know who the Captain you just mentioned is, and what's his surname?"
The胖子 was about to get angry when Wang Yu mentioned his胖.
However, when he heard the other party asking for the Captain's surname, his expression inexplicably became a little unnatural.
He pretended to be profound and said, "Kid, I won't bother with you since you're new, but I still advise you to pack your things and leave this house immediately, otherwise the consequences will be unbearable for you!"
"Oh?" Wang Yu raised an eyebrow. He hadn't been threatened in a long time and said coldly, "I'm just living here, I haven't broken any laws. Could you please tell me what the consequences are, Captain Wang?"
The胖子's eyes turned fierce, and he smiled sinisterly, "Kid, since you refuse a toast and prefer to be forced, then you can continue to live here! Heh heh... let's see how long you can stay alive!"
After speaking, the胖子 waved his hand and left with his men.
Wang Yu watched them leave, his eyes involuntarily narrowing.
Old Li walked up to Wang Yu and said worriedly, "Uh, Xiao Wang, you guys..."
He hesitated, but his meaning was clear.
He was hinting that Wang Yu should be careful of the胖子 and their influence.
Wang Yu waved his hand dismissively, "Uncle Li, I know they are evolvers. Tell me about the faction that胖子 belongs to."
Old Li nodded, "Let's go inside and sit down to talk."
...
After listening, Wang Yu and Lin Hao's expressions became a little strange.
No wonder the胖子 didn't say their Captain's surname. It turned out their Captain's surname was Zhong...
Zhong... Zhongduìcháng?
Although it was a bit funny, what Wang Yu cared about was the strength of their brigade.
The胖子's brigade was called the Mad Bull Brigade, and their leader was Zhong Niu.
The entire team had nearly a hundred people, making it one of the largest evolver groups in the Haiyuan Town base.
According to military regulations, the number of people in an evolver team could not exceed one hundred.
Therefore, even the strongest Iron Eagle Brigade had exactly one hundred people.
Well... Wang Yu didn't really understand why they all liked to use animal names for their teams.
After understanding the situation, Wang Yu took his brothers out.
There were still many things to do today. Lin Hao and the others dispersed to gather information about other evolver teams, while Wang Yu went to the nearest official management point to Old Li's house.
This place was not only responsible for personal information registration but also for material exchange, point redemption, and management of evolver teams.
It was also the largest official management point in the base.
As soon as he entered, a female receptionist in a formal uniform approached Wang Yu with a smile.
"Hello sir, how can I help you?"
Wang Yu glanced at her attire: white shirt, black skirt, black stockings. It was indeed very formal.
Exactly the same as before the apocalypse.
"I'd like to know how to register an evolver team. Is it convenient?"
Upon hearing this, the female receptionist's smile became even more genuine, as there was a lot of profit to be made here.
If Wang Yu registered his team through her, he would likely come to her for point redemption, material trading, and other matters in the future.
"Of course, please come this way to discuss."
She beckoned Wang Yu to a reception room and first poured him a glass of water, her attitude making him feel very comfortable.
"Sir, may I know your surname?"
"My surname is Wang. You can just call me Wang Yu."
"Alright, Mr. Wang. This is our base's regulations regarding the management of evolver teams. Would you like to take a look first?"
She handed Wang Yu several sheets of paper, which contained forms and various matters to note when registering an evolver team.
For example, the scale of registered teams, the cost of registering a small team is 10 points, a medium-sized team is 50 points, and a large brigade is 100 points.
There were also weekly management fees, venue rentals, material recycling prices, and so on.
Although it wasn't complicated, there were quite a few items.
Wang Yu only took a cursory glance and stopped paying attention.
This could be handled by his subordinates later; there was no need for him to do it personally.
Wang Yu put down the documents and asked, "Grain and insect crystals can be exchanged for points, right?"
Points were paper currency issued by the Haiyuan Town military. They were small pieces of paper, similar to the ration coupons of the past.
"Of course, sir. However, the current unit price for exchanging grain for points is not high. Of course, the grain here refers to staple foods such as rice and wheat. Other packaged foods still have a relatively high unit price."
"Oh? Why is the unit price of grain not high? Is it because the base is not short of grain?"
"Yes, sir. The authorities just recovered a granary a few days ago, so the current unit price of grain is not high."
"I see." Wang Yu nodded. It wasn't surprising that the military could take back a granary.
It would be strange if they couldn't.
After all, it had only been half a month since the apocalypse, and the zombies had not yet evolved to a terrifying level.
In two months, conventional firearms would be of little use.
At that time, evolvers would be the main force against zombies, and their status would be vastly different from now.
After some inquiry, Wang Yu learned that one kilogram of grain could only be exchanged for 2 points.
And a small box of canned luncheon meat was worth 12 points. The difference was not small.
But it was not surprising. Scarcity drives up prices, which has always been a market law, especially in the apocalypse.
Everyone wants to eat meat, but edible meat is very scarce. So what should they do?
Then those with strength and wealth can eat!
If you have nothing, just eat rice and steamed buns honestly. It's good enough to survive!
Moreover, to be honest, rice and steamed buns are already quite good. Except for those living in shelters and bases, it's not easy for people outside to even get a hot meal!
"Mr. Wang, when do you plan to register?"
Seeing that Wang Yu seemed to have no more questions, the female receptionist asked.
Wang Yu snapped back to attention and said, "No rush for now. I'll send someone to register tomorrow. I'll have him find you then."
"Okay, my name is Li Yun. Just call out for me in the lobby tomorrow."
Wang Yu nodded and "took out" a box of canned beef from his pocket.
"Could I trouble you to check someone's information?"
Li Yun looked at the canned beef on the table and couldn't help but swallow.
This thing, let alone her, even their supervisor found it difficult to get a box.
Because it was too expensive!
"Sir, personal information is generally confidential..."
Bang!
Wang Yu took out another box of canned beef.
"It's like this, the person I want to find is my good friend. We had a very good relationship before the apocalypse. See?"
Li Yun swallowed again, straightened her expression, and said, "Sir, since she is your good friend, it shouldn't be a problem to check."
"May I know your friend's name? I'll help you check it later."
Wang Yu nodded and said, "Then I thank you in advance. Her name is Jiang Nanshuang. If I can find her, I will thank you again."
Upon hearing this, the female receptionist's smile grew even brighter. "Don't worry! I'll call my colleagues to help, and I'll give you a reply tomorrow."
Wang Yu smiled, "Alright then, I have other things to do, so I'll be leaving now."
"I'll see you out," Li Yun politely escorted Wang Yu to the door.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, she frowned and murmured, "Did he have anything in his pocket when he came in?"
