While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Luo Ning blinked but didn't say anything.

Xiao Helin quickly spoke up, "I've already given you a small building for free, but I really can't give you these two people."

These two individuals are extremely talented, and he plans to cultivate them as his future right-hand men.

Otherwise, why would he have allowed their family into the base, or even charged them a check-in fee?

Lin Jiao and Lin Jia stood aside. They liked Sister Luo, who had been kind to them, but the base leader had also been very kind to them.

At this moment, I wish I could be in two places at once, helping Sister Luo with her work while repaying the base chief's kindness.

Luo Ning glanced at Xiao Helin's expression and knew that he wouldn't easily let go.

But she really wanted both of them.

"You're not building a base, so what do you need people for?"

Xiao Helin had a headache. Based on his understanding of Luo Ning, this man wouldn't easily let go of anything he set his sights on.

"I'm not building a base, but I run a shop and don't need anyone to watch over it. Don't I need manpower?"

Luo Ning rolled her eyes at him. Actually, this was a habit she picked up in her past life: if she saw two talented people, she wanted to recruit them into her camp.

"Do you want to come with me? Don't worry about the crystal cores you owe him, I'll pay them back for you. And the benefits I offer you will definitely be better than Xiao Helin's."

Luo Ning looked at Lin Jia and Lin Jiao with unusual generosity. She now understood why Old Man Fu always tried to entice her to join the Xuanwu Base.

Xiao Helin sighed, "Ancestor, tell me the truth, do you want to build a base, or were you sent by the authorities to sound me out? If you want to build a base, tell me, and I will do my best to cooperate. If you were sent by the authorities, just tell them that I have no intention of rebelling, I just want to live in my Helin Base..."

Xiao Helin spoke sincerely, almost as if he were about to reveal all his secrets to Luo Ning.

Xiao Jie looked coldly at Xiao Helin, who had said too much.

He patted Luo Ning on the shoulder and told her that if she really wanted the two children, he would help her get them back.

The Lin family of four stood aside, not daring to speak.

Especially Lin Jiao and Lin Jia, both of whom are benefactors. How can we avoid offending either side?

Also, are they really that important?

Luo Ning glanced at Xiao Helin with annoyance. How come she never noticed before that this man was so talkative, and even better at pretending than she was?

"Shut up, if you don't want it, then don't."

Just like Xiao Helin said, she has no intention of building a base or saving the world; she only wants to do business to support herself in her old age.

Hearing her words, Xiao Helin breathed a sigh of relief. If Luo Ning really intended to build a base, then he would have to think about it more carefully.

She is very powerful, and she is accompanied by Xiao Jie, two mutated animals, and a mutated robot.

Such a combination would be among the strongest in the apocalypse.

Furthermore, given her lack of access to endless resources, she could easily recruit a large number of people if she wanted to establish a base.

Although he currently has a good feeling about Luo Ning.

But in the end times, people's hearts are ever-changing, and he won't gamble.

Luo Ning has been living a comfortable life lately, and her mindset has improved a lot.

But just by looking at Xiao Helin, you can tell what he's thinking.

She rolled her eyes inwardly. She wasn't interested in power; otherwise, she wouldn't have refused Old Man Fu's repeated invitations.

In the apocalypse, no one dares to say they can live to die of natural causes; she just wants to enjoy life to the fullest in the limited time she has left.

Hearing Luo Ning say that he would no longer steal from others, Xiao Helin relaxed and sat down opposite Luo Ning.

"What's the reason you want to hire people?"

Once Xiao Helin calmed down, he immediately realized that the matter of snatching people was different from Luo Ning's previous lazy and carefree attitude.

Luo Ning didn't want to say more. "It's okay, I've returned the person to you. There's not much use for me to take him back anyway."

She forgot that the two children were young, and children's favorite thing is to save the world.

Following her means spending every day at the base doing monotonous work, which a child probably wouldn't like.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Helin replied, repeating his previous statement: he hoped to become friends with Luo Ning.

"Um."

Luo Ning nodded. She would have to stay at the Helin base for a while longer, so she would have to see how things went later.

"Sister Luo, you can call us if you need anything in the future, and we will definitely help you."

Seeing her silence, Lin Jiao assumed she was sad and quickly spoke up.

"Jiaojiao." Lin Ye looked at Xiao Helin awkwardly from the side. His whole family was begging for food at the Helin base. How could he be in Cao Ying but his heart was with Han?

Xiao Helin waved his hand to indicate that he didn't care, "I don't need them now. As long as it doesn't interfere with training, it's their freedom to do whatever they want."

Lin Ye smiled broadly, bowing deeply. "Thank you, Base Chief."

He was proud that his two children were still so highly regarded, but there were some things they could only do if the base commander gave the order.

Lin Jiao and Lin Jia were also happy. From now on, when they weren't training, they could go and play with Sister Luo and even help her with chores.

Luo Ning didn't care much about this at the time. If Lin Jiao and Lin Jia were her people, she would mostly just have them train to improve their strength.

They can't do anything if you really ask them to.

Lin Jia tilted her head slightly and spoke to Luo Ning.

"If you ever need anything in the future, you can come to us anytime. I have superpowers now too."

Luo Ning chuckled, looked at the arrogant little brat, raised his hand, and a lifelike little fire dragon appeared in his palm.

"Wow, a superhuman! That's amazing. I wonder what your superpower level is now! Too bad I only have a little fire dragon."

Xiao Helin saw the fire dragon in her palm and his expression turned serious. Fire-type ability?

Isn't she a wood-type ability user?

He had never seen a multi-elemental ability user before.

Luo Ning initially planned to hide his special abilities and create two identities for himself.

To avoid a repeat of the situation from my past life, and to be able to turn the tables on my opponent.

But perhaps due to a foundation from her previous life, her superpowers improved very quickly in this life.

Moreover, she focused on balanced development this time, with little difference in the level of each type of ability.

Now that she has no base to back her up, her terrace is eye-catching, and she needs to use her strength to show everyone that she is not to be trifled with.

She possesses all types of superpowers; revealing one or two of them wouldn't be a problem.

Lin Jia blushed slightly when she saw the fire dragon in her palm.

Those with superpowers know that it is very difficult to transform one's superpowers into human form. Not only do they need to have enough reserves of superpowers, but they also need to be very proficient in mastering their superpowers.

He is far from being able to do that now.

"Sister Luo, you're amazing. Lin Jia always brags about how great he is and isn't humble at all. You should teach him a lesson."

Lin Jiao looked at Luo Ning with admiration.

Lin Jia snorted softly and said in a low voice, "I'll become that powerful sooner or later."

After showing off for a while, Luo Ning decided not to stay there any longer.

"Then you'll just have to wait until that day comes sooner or later."
