Hearing the seller’s words, Rong Qinyu said with doubt, "Isn’t it a good thing to have rain? The temperature keeps increasing every day, and we have no water. If we can have some rain, it will lower the temperature and we can have water to drink." 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
When the seller heard this, he gestured for him to lean closer before he whispered, "Brother, you might not know, but the rain is not good news. I heard that the next rain might cause another wave of mutations. This is the reason why the base is rushing to finish the wall."
This time, Rong Qinyu was surprised by the news and said, "If the mutations happen due to the rain, then building a wall won’t help at all. After all, people who live inside the base have the chance to mutate and become zombies too. By then, how can we escape if we are locked behind the wall?"
The seller shook his head and replied, "Brother, that might be the case in other places. But our base commander already found the solution. When the rain comes, we only have to follow the order and we will be fine."
"What solution?" Rong Qinyu asked.
"I don’t know. The information given by my friend is already the most detailed you can find from the public. To get more specific information, we have to ask the higher-ups," the seller replied.
Rong Qinyu nodded and said, "Thank you for your information, Brother."
After he tossed another crystal core to the seller, he stood up and walked away.
He strolled for another hour before returning to the Phantom team’s residence. When he came back, he saw his cousin and Gu Shaoze were packing up their backpacks.
Seeing this, he asked, "Are both of you going out for a mission?"
Rong Mo’er turned when she heard her cousin’s voice and replied, "Cousin, you are back. We accepted a mission from the base and will depart soon."
Hearing this, Rong Qinyu said, "Wait for me, I will go pack up my things and join you."
Before he could go to his room, Rong Mo’er said, "Cousin, this mission is addressed to the Phantom team. Since you are not an official member yet, you can’t join us.
"For now, you stay at the base and familiarize yourself first. If you feel bored, you can take a mission in the mission hall. We will be back in a few days."
Rong Qinyu observed his cousin for a while and didn’t see any sign of her being suspicious of him. Thinking what she said made sense, he nodded and said, "Okay. Be careful when you are outside."
"I know," Rong Mo’er replied with a smile.
After some brief conversation with him, Rong Mo’er and Gu Shaoze left the house. Standing at the entrance, Rong Qinyu watched them leave thoughtfully.
