As soon as Ye Ziqiu and Dongzhi's red crystal core were used, it caused quite a stir, completely overshadowing the attention attracted by Liu Xingwu's several B-level crystal cores.

Liu Xingwu sneered at the side and said, "It's just a red crystal core the size of a fingernail. There are so many people who have never seen the world. Country bumpkins are country bumpkins."

Dongzhi was twisting the corners of his clothes anxiously, and whispered hurriedly: "Brother Wu, let's go back."

Liu Xingwu raised his eyebrows, not afraid of Ye Ziqiu's murderous look at all, and instead teased: "Beauty, I advise you not to follow Chen Yanxi. It's better for you to follow me, your brother. I guarantee that you will have everything you want."

Ye Ziqiu seemed to have heard a joke. If Xu Qingzhi hadn't stood in front of her, she would have subconsciously drawn the pistol from her waist.

After calming down a bit, Ye Ziqiu looked Liu Xingwu up and down, then said sarcastically: "As far as I know, Shen Lian has not yet broken the supernatural power record set by our captain in the first district. Not to mention Shen Lian who can only rank second so far, even you don't seem to be in the top ten. In my opinion, you are not as good as your brother. If you have a little self-knowledge, you should go home and play in the mud. Oh, by the way, you are an earth-type supernatural power user, you can go to the dungeon to make some contributions, you are not a complete waste."

Ye Ziqiu had a vicious mouth and was not afraid of offending people. In addition, she knew very well that in the ranking of the base, Liu Xingwu's strength was not good enough. He had just entered the level of A-level psychic three months ago.

Liu Xingwu had a violent and impulsive personality. In addition, Ye Ziqiu, a woman, easily slandered the strength that he was most proud of in his heart. He immediately released a strong pressure, which made people nearby feel dizzy and nauseous.

At the same time, Xu Qingzhi took a few steps back, but still stood beside Ye Ziqiu.

Countless lumps of earth suddenly rose up from the ground of the trading center, and the floor tiles were torn into two pieces.

Just when the atmosphere of confrontation was about to break out, a gust of hot wind swept across the entire trading center hall.

Ye Ziqiu frowned instantly because of the pressure, and stared at the door vigilantly.

Gu Tongwan was about to leave, so he was closest to the gate. He felt that although the pressure in front of him was very strong, it did not reveal any malice, or it seemed that he could easily control the pressure.

This means that the person who released the pressure must be of a higher level than anyone inside.

A slender figure appeared at the gate. It was a man in a black suit. In the apocalypse, there were very few men who dressed so elegantly. Ordinary people would just pretend to be cool in that way. But for some reason, this man's suit fit him very well, and he even had a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his tall nose.

He has a very handsome face and a gentle and elegant temperament, but for some reason there is no smile in his eyes.

Gentle scum!

This was the most appropriate word that flashed through Gu Tongwan's mind to describe this man.

And her intuition told her that she must never have anything to do with such a person, otherwise he would eat her till not even a bone was left. Besides, Gu Tongwan never had a good impression of men who were too handsome and seemed like gentlemen. This was probably because the man looked too sinister, which made her subconsciously reject him.

She didn't plan to stay in the trading center to watch the fun, and she had already seen the Self-Defense Force members arriving not far away.

Shen Lian came here only after Dong Zhi sent him a message telling him what was happening here. It happened that he had just come out of the command center, which was only a ten-minute drive from here. When he arrived, he felt the familiar pressure from Liu Xingwu, and his eyes sank instantly. He didn't care about Liu Xingwu's life or death, but he would not allow Liu Xingwu to do anything that would damage the reputation of the team.

He deliberately released his pressure in advance in order to break up Liu Xingwu's violent pressure, but when he released it, he found that there was someone within ten meters of him.

Although the pressure he released was not malicious and he had made adjustments to it, for ordinary people, getting too close to the pressure of a psychic would still produce severe rejection side effects.

It was too late to restrain myself. The girl in the baseball cap next to me was too close. I didn't expect...

The imagined rejection reaction did not appear. Instead, the girl left in a hurry as if she was not affected at all.

Huh?

Shen Lian frowned and looked at the slender figure, his eyes darkened a little behind the lenses.

This seemed to be the first time he encountered someone who could negate his pressure.

Before Shen Lian could figure it out, there was a cry of surprise in the hall. It turned out that Liu Xingwu, who was restrained by his pressure, knelt down on his knees, his face pale without a trace of blood.

Shen Lian fiddled with his cuffs nonchalantly, while raising his slender eyes to look at Ye Ziqiu who was alert, and said in a gentle voice: "My team members have caused trouble for you. As the captain, this is my fault."

Ye Ziqiu's expression eased a little, and she nodded to accept the other party's apology. More importantly, she could sense a hint of coldness from the other party's slightly raised mouth.

It is said that Shen Lian is a wolf in sheep's clothing. He is ruthless and cruel in his actions and is not as easy to get along with as he appears to be.

The small conflict caused by the two teams seemed to be resolved peacefully in the end, but Ye Ziqiu felt uneasy all the way back. Even the [Light Chasers] came to Jiangcheng, which meant that there must be something near Jiangcheng that concerned them.

***

When the trading center was counting items at night, one of the staff members opened the iron cabinets for storing materials as usual. When he opened the cabinet numbered 126, he saw something wrapped in black cloth inside.

At first I thought it was just some random thing someone had stuffed in there, but it felt quite heavy in my hand, and I couldn't help but complain, "Damn, is it a rock again?"

A colleague who was also cleaning up the traded materials next door talked about what happened in the afternoon, and said with some lingering fear: "Hey, people with special abilities are different from ordinary people like us. I was almost scared to death at the time, and I felt a little nauseous and wanted to vomit. This seems to be coercion, right?"

Another person echoed, "That's Shen Lian. This is the first time I've seen him in person. He looks much better than on TV. How can someone be so good-looking and capable? If I weren't married, I would have pursued him."

"You are dreaming. You don't even consider the other party's status. It is said that Shen Lian is a third-generation rich man, a legitimate son of an aristocratic family. Can we compare with him?"

Several people immediately started chatting animatedly, while the female staff member who was still checking the supplies lifted the black cloth in annoyance, only to see a fist-sized scarlet crystal core inside. Her heartbeat quickened, her breathing became rapid, and she immediately shouted in a trembling voice, "Manager, crystal core..."

The manager replied without even looking up, "The crystal cores must be kept safe. Those above B grade should be placed in the safe, and those below grade should be arranged by serial number. We will all wait for the people from the research institute to collect them tomorrow morning."

The female staff member immediately held the crystal core and handed it to the manager, saying excitedly: "No, look, this is a red crystal core!"
