Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 812 - 430 inducer_2

Before Fang Yuxin and her group arrived, today’s grain at the base’s grain store had already sold out. However, many people were still unable to buy any, so when they heard that sixty tons of grain had been delivered, they could no longer sit still and rushed to the grain store to demand a purchase.

But currently, none of them had gathered the amount needed according to the price list, and with grain being a scarce commodity, they were naturally too embarrassed to ask Fang Yuxin’s group to deliver the grain first and receive payment later.

General Song watched as Fang Yuxin looked at him with a knowing smirk, as if understanding everything, which made him feel an awkward embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to steel himself and say, "The food situation at the base is very tight right now. If the three of you trust us, could you possibly provide some of the grain first for support? We promise to gather the payment by 8 o’clock tomorrow morning. Please rest assured."

Fang Yuxin saw his awkward expression, and after he said that, it seemed to have aged him a few more years. She couldn’t help but sigh silently. As the saying goes, lack of money can trap even a hero. The same logic applies to the lack of food.

So she nodded: "Since I brought the grain and am willing to trade with you, it means I trust you. The three truckloads of grain are right there; feel free to handle them as you see fit. But by eight o’clock tomorrow morning, I want to see the payment."

With those words, General Song and the other high-level officers at the base visibly breathed a sigh of relief. Fang Yuxin didn’t say much more, simply nodded to them, and then left the room with Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang to roam outside. They said they were going for a stroll, but in fact, the three intended to take this opportunity to gather more information.

In such a large base, finding Lin Feiyin or Fang Mengyao wouldn’t be easy. Although there could be resident identity records at the base, if they actively inquired about these two, it would certainly arouse the base people’s suspicion.

The three spent quite a bit of effort, even using some cultivator techniques, before finally obtaining the news they wanted. Just as Fang Yuxin had previously suspected, Fang Mengyao indeed went to Beishi Base with Qiu Yiming. Strangely though, Lin Feiyin had not been heard from for a long time, as if she had disappeared completely.

When calculated closely, Lin Feiyin’s disappearance coincides very closely with the time when they left the Market Base earlier. It’s uncertain what happened in between, but one thing is for sure: Lin Feiyin is likely not in good shape.

Given this, the malice Fang Yuxin sensed was not from Lin Feiyin, but from Fang Mengyao who is far away at Beishi Base!

Thinking of Fang Mengyao, neither Fang Yuxin, Fang Yuyang, nor Bai Ye could maintain a pleasant expression. Bai Ye had privately investigated the Fang family before, naturally learning about Fang Mengyao, whom he had never been fond of, but didn’t pay too much attention to. It wasn’t until last time, when Fang Yuxin sensed that malice, that Fang Mengyao’s name resurfaced in his mind, and he felt a killing intent towards her.

Fang Yuyang had thought of killing Fang Mengyao even earlier but never found the opportunity. Now that the suspicion about Lin Feiyin was cleared, his killing intent towards Fang Mengyao became stronger. He exchanged a glance with Bai Ye, and they both shared the same thought—they must eliminate Fang Mengyao this time!

With the matter confirmed, there was nothing more to explore at the Market Base. However, the three unexpectedly discovered something else—the Beishi Base possesses a kind of inducer that can cause water element superpower users’ abilities to mutate!

This inducer is controlled by the high-level officers at the base and isn’t publicly sold in stores. However, as long as one is a Water Element Superpower User, they can apply to use it.

After learning of this, the three were no longer interested in strolling around the base but went straight to General Song, proposing to use this inducer to offset part of the grain payment.

Though the inducer has only a ten percent success rate and does not guarantee a successful ability mutation upon consumption, the mere fact that there’s a ten percent success rate implies that it contains key substances capable of causing a mutation in Water Element Superpower Users. With this inducer analyzed and researched, it might be possible to produce a finished product!

The mutation direction of this inducer at the Market Base is purification, and once Fang Yuxin’s group learned about this, they understood the reason for Lin Feiyin’s disappearance. Regardless of what she experienced then, they are determined to acquire this inducer!

Neither General Song nor the other high-level officials at the base expected Fang Yuxin to suddenly make such a request. However, after recovering from the surprise, General Song agreed to Fang Yuxin’s request. He could guess that Fang Yuxin wanted to take this inducer for research, but so what?

Currently, the surviving human population has decreased to less than one-tenth. If they continue to guard against and scheme against each other instead of supporting each other, human extinction would be not far off even without the presence of advanced zombies and ferocious mutant beasts!

Moreover, Shen Xi, who originally led this research, has already left the base. No one else could take the lead, and the inducer in their possession, outside of being used by Water Element Superpower Users at the base, didn’t seem able to yield further development. It might as well be given to others to try, in hopes of achieving some breakthroughs.

So General Song made the call to agree to this matter, with just one condition: "I can give you ten doses of the inducer, but if you manage to develop an upgraded version, I hope you’ll trade the finished product with us."

Fang Yuxin smiled and nodded, agreeing to this matter, and even hinted, "I believe we will have more trade dealings in the future." (To be continued.
