Liang Jiuhui nodded and asked, “Where do you plan to open the branch store? You can choose any location within the base.”
The opening of a Heart Talk Store branch was good news for the base; he had to support it.
“Right at the entrance of the Security team.”
Lu Hao replied.
Liang Jiuhui and Sheng Jing behind him were startled for a moment, then Liang Jiuhui smiled. That spot was good, near the Base Hospital and not far from the residential area; it was indeed a suitable choice. Besides, the most important factor was safety—opening a store at the entrance of the Security team meant hardly anyone would dare cause trouble there under normal circumstances.
“Okay, there are three rooms next to it; I’ll reserve them for you,”
Liang Jiuhui made the decision on the spot.
“Thank you,”
Su Jin knew Liang Jiuhui would agree. They had chosen the entrance of the Security team considering safety issues.
If nothing unexpected occurred, they planned to ask Uncle Mao Zhihang and Aunt Lin Tianzhen to help manage the new store. For one, Mao Zhihang had experience in business before the Apocalypse. Secondly, both were Special Ability Users, so there wouldn’t be much worry about safety while running a store in front of the Security team’s entrance.
“Don’t mention it; I have an important matter to request your help with as well,”
Liang Jiuhui eagerly started explaining the Mercenary Corps assessment. These days, Li Haochu and the others had been busy screening the low-rank Mercenary Corps together with Han Jin and Wei Junhao, and once that was complete, they would start the Middle Rank and above assessments.
“Su Jin, Lu Hao, if Heart Talk Team can attain a rank, I hope it’s a super rank S,”
Liang Jiuhui looked at them and said.
“Is there a reward?” Lu Hao asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Apart from the ten thousand Crystal Cores reward for S rank, how does an additional ten thousand Crystal Cores sound?”
Liang Jiuhui had anticipated Lu Hao, the little guy, would negotiate on behalf of his wife.
“Okay, we accept,”
In her heart, Su Jin couldn’t help but give Lu Hao a thumbs-up.
“Right, I have some documents from B City brought by someone. I made a copy; you can take it back and study it,”
Liang Jiuhui handed them a few documents.
Su Jin nodded and flipped through a few pages, unable to help twitching the corner of her mouth. What was with this bizarre and weird style?
“Don’t mind it, my friend isn’t good at drawing. He probably did his best,”
Liang Jiuhui explained. He didn’t know whether Wei Junhao had done his best, but his skills were probably just that.
At this moment, Sheng Jing quietly walked over from the desk behind them and handed the three of them a note. It read: Someone is outside the window, an Invisibility Ability User.
Su Jin and Lu Hao were both surprised—an Invisibility Ability User?
However, they also knew that this Invisibility Ability User couldn’t possibly be Xia Ying.
Liang Jiuhui nodded, gave them a look, and started rambling about everything under the sun.
He was somewhat regretful that he hadn’t taken them to his second-floor office to talk. Before, the Invisibility Ability User only appeared during their afternoon summary meetings, but he hadn’t expected them to show up now.
Did they also notice Su Jin and Lu Hao?
Seeing Liang Jiuhui’s signal, Su Jin and Lu Hao caught on immediately and joined in discussing trivial matters.
“You encountered such zombies? A space with a large number of resources inside?”
Liang Jiuhui didn’t expect a topic they casually brought up would pique his interest.
“Yeah, we spent over an hour gathering resources. It was exhausting,”
Su Jin said with a laugh,

“You guys even had a meal of instant noodles using zombie supplies?”
Liang Jiuhui couldn’t help feeling envious, as instant noodles had become a very expensive food.
“Yes, we added some marinated eggs and ham sausages, and Xiao Jin even induced some vegetables to grow. It tasted quite good,”
Lu Hao added.
“Ah, if there were fresh eggs, it would be even better. Fresh eggs cooked in the noodles would taste so much better, right?”
Liang Jiuhui fantasized, as the food he looked down on most before the apocalypse now seemed really precious. Next time, he would have Jiuqing go to the Heart Talk Store and buy a few packs of instant noodles, even though the price there had inflated to 100 crystal cores per pack.
Sheng Jing had his back to them, trying to hold back his laughter.
Wang Liang, covertly eavesdropping outside the window: …
Why was the conversation of these people so lacking in substance?
How was he supposed to report to Young Master Han when he returned?
And why was he feeling hungry now too?
…
In a villa in the S City base.
“That’s it?”
Han Jin asked incredulously, looking at Wang Liang who had returned to his true form.
Wang Liang was a short man who might easily be overlooked in a crowd. However, it was exactly his weak presence and ordinary appearance that helped him use his Invisibility Ability to the fullest, as a key point of this ability was that one must not let others sense one’s presence.
“Yes, they also said…” Wang Liang hesitated, unsure if he should continue.
“They said what?” Han Jin immediately asked with seriousness.
“They talked about… instant noodles…”
Wang Liang recounted almost verbatim the conversation of the group to Han Jin, whose expression grew increasingly intriguing.
These people gathered just to talk about zombies on the road and what they ate?!
“And then they just left?”
Han Jin asked, not willing to give up.
Wang Liang nodded. The group had talked about instant noodles and eggs and even discussed the prices of things for a while, then they left.
“…”
Not sure what to say, Han Jin irritably dismissed Wang Liang. He’d thought that after Su Jin and Lu Hao returned, Liang Jiuhui would make a big move, but it turned out it was just casual conversation. Could it be that their relationship wasn’t that good?
And the people in S City base were increasingly tight-lipped. They found that every time they tried various ways to ask people in the base for information, those people looked back at them with faces full of caution, and the information they were able to gather was very little indeed.
All they knew now was that the Heart Talk Team was powerful, that Su Jin and Lu Hao of the Heart Talk Team were powerful, and that every member of the Heart Talk Team, even the children, was powerful…
They also knew Su Jin was of the Wood Element and Lu Hao of the Fire Element, but as for the other members, they could find out even less about which element they were.
How could they know that after the incident with Jia Kaiji, the original survivors of S City base had developed a sense of secrecy regarding their intelligence, and their Base Leader had even said that if anyone found suspicious individuals around, they could report them at any time. As a result, the security team had been bombarded with countless reports recently, all about people inquiring about the base’s intel, which made Ye Rongxin laugh for days.
For the survivors who had newly joined the base, they were even less familiar with the Heart Talk Team, they hadn’t even heard the team’s name, let alone gathered any useful intelligence about them.
Han Jin rubbed his temples, an idea forming in his mind, if that was the case, should he meet the Heart Talk Team in person?
