NOVEL WEB Chapter 406: Should Be
Before Pei Yixie could recover from the shock, Feng Yun added salt to her wound and said, "I'm also a level-one space-type ability-user. My space is 4,200 square meters and 30 meters high. I can collect items from 50 meters away."
Pei Yixie's mind buzzed when she heard this. She was two levels higher than him, but her space was not even half the size of his. This hard fact was too much for her fragile heart to handle.
Seeing how sad she was, the Phantom Team members exchanged glances and shook their heads. Compared to others, her reaction was actually much calmer.
After a while, Pei Yixie turned to Jiao Lizhi and asked, "How about you, Sister?"
Jiao Lizhi smiled and replied, "I'm a level-two space-type ability-user. My space should be a little bigger compared to Brother Feng Yun's."
While Pei Yixie was focused on the size of her space, Li Qixuan and Mo Junjie both focused on the words 'should be'. They wondered how big her space was for her to not be able to estimate the exact size.
Sitting not far from her, Fu Guai looked at her but thought nothing. Since there was someone who could read minds, he would make sure to forget everything regarding her space.
It took Pei Yixie a while to regain her composure and say, "Brother, since I have joined this team, I will hand over my supplies to the team."
The moment she said this, Yin Yusheng went to take his notebook and said, "Sister Pei, you can take out your supplies so I can record them first. After we finish registering the supplies, we will redistribute them."
After he said this, Jiao Lizhi said, "Talking about this, Brother Yan and I also collected lots of supplies from the Capital."
She looked around the living room and said, "It's better for us to find a bigger place."
"Sister-in-law, we can borrow a warehouse from the base. After the area of the base was expanded, we obtained the warehouse area," Li Sikai said.
Hearing this, Jin Xuyan thought for a moment and said, "Ah Zhi and I will go visit Xun Che and borrow the warehouse."
After the conversation, Chen Qianfeng prepared water for Fu Guai to take a bath, while Xiao Qi prepared his clothes. As for Jin Xuyan and Jiao Lizhi, the two of them returned to their room before they went to her space to take a bath and rest for a while.
At the same time, Shen Jinzhe and his family were cleaning the apartment he bought. When they were done, it was almost noon, and Mother Shen said, "Ah Zhe, we don't have any food at home."
Hearing this, Shen Jinzhe took out his card and a portable point machine while saying, "Mother, I have points. Let me transfer some over for you. You can use the points to buy ingredients and daily necessities at the base's store."
"Brother, you don't have to worry about us. Father and I already submitted our application to work as the base's staff. We will be able to earn points soon," Shen Jinyue said.
"If we are unable to work as staff, we will join the workers to build the wall or do trading in the marketplace. No matter what, we won't leech off you," she added.
Shen Jinzhe reached out to flick his sister's forehead lightly and said, "You are still young but like to overthink like an old lady. Your brother has money, and it's not your place to worry about supporting our parents and grandmother."
After he said this, he turned to his mother and said, "Mother, I will transfer 5,000 points first. If you don't have enough, just let me know."
The moment she heard this, Mother Shen said, "Ah Zhe, that's too much. A kilogram of flour is only 5 points."
With a beep, Shen Jinzhe finished transferring the points and replied, "Mother, I rarely use the points I earn. What's more, I receive a stipend from the team every month."
"Besides points and crystal cores, the Captain also distributes supplies to us. I still have a lot of supplies stored in Xiao Qi's space. Later, I will ask him to deliver the supplies to you."
Hearing that her son has a good job, Father Shen let out a sigh and said, "Wife, since our son has said so, you should worry less. Just accept the supplies and put your mind at ease."
Mother Shen glared at her husband and said, "As a mother, how could I feel at ease when I know that my son is risking his life to get these supplies?"
Seeing that her mother would cry again, Shen Jinyue quickly said, "Mother, the Phantom Team is the only S-rank mercenary team in the entire base. They are very strong. With them around, my brother will be fine."
Mother Shen nodded and replied, "I know."
"Mother, I will go get the supplies from Xiao Qi first," Shen Jinzhe said as he opened the door. After he left the apartment, he returned to the Phantom Team's residence.
While they managed to find their families and pick them up from the Capital, most of their family members were killed by the zombies, died of starvation, or turned into zombies at the beginning of the apocalypse.
So, after they registered everyone, only Shen Jinzhe and Chen Qianfeng had found their families. As for the rest of the Phantom Team members, the chance of their families surviving the zombie attack was almost zero.
When Shen Jinzhe returned to his team's residence, Gu Shaoze had just finished filling up the water reservoir's tank. Every day, he would supply 5,000 liters of water to the base in exchange for 10,000 points.
The rate for water exchange in the base was 3 points for a liter of water, and the base paid the water-type ability-users 2 points for every liter of water they produced.
The difference of 1 point was used to pay the maintenance staff, who were responsible for cleaning the tanks, distributing the water, and doing the management work.
