Apocalypse Tree of Hope

Chapter 170 Hot Potatoes
"Minister Yan, I'm here." As soon as Yan Qingwen finished speaking, someone stood up and replied.

Lin Rantong heard the reputation and looked over, and found that the man named Ji Shanfeng was about 1.7 meters tall, but his body was a bit thicker than Xia Yongjia's, because he was far away and couldn't see his face clearly.

"Brother Ji, I would venture to ask, is your ability still usable?" Yan Qingwen asked very politely.

Ok?what does he mean?Didn't they all try it before, and the abilities of the supernatural beings couldn't be used, why at this time, Yan Qingwen specifically asked this Ji Shanfeng to ask again.Lin Rantong was secretly puzzled.

Not only Lin Rantong, many people listened to Yan Qingwen's question, and their ears were stunned curiously.

To everyone's surprise, Ji Shanfeng nodded and said, "Yes."

"What, the ability can be used?" A person asked in surprise.

"No, I still can't do it, what's going on, can you do it?" An impatient person hurriedly asked the person next to him after trying it.

"No." The person next to him replied.

"Ah, that's good." The previous person breathed a sigh of relief.

The person next to him was upset when he heard this, and he stared at him and said, "What do you mean, why do I feel that you are taking pleasure in other's misfortunes?"

"Hey, ah, I'm not gloating, I'm sympathizing with each other." The previous person hastily covered up.

Lin Rantong kept paying attention to Yan Qingwen's face, and found that Yan Qingwen showed such an expression after hearing Ji Shanfeng's affirmative answer.

"Hehe, my guess is really good." Yan Qingwen's words made the scene immediately quiet, and everyone was curiously waiting for his answer.

"Everyone must be wondering why I said that. Before, I also thought that all supernatural powers could not be used, but just now I tried it myself. I wanted to feel what it is that the supernatural powers cannot be used. I feel like I'm looking for a solution, but I didn't expect my ability to be used!" Yan Qingwen glanced at everyone with a flat expression, and said slowly.

"Minister Yan's can also be used? What's going on here?" someone asked.

Lin Rantong was secretly relieved when he heard that Yan Qingwen's ability could also be used. As the leader of the team, Yan Qingwen's fourth-order abilities were far superior to everyone, but if the ability could not be used all the time, so many mutants , and belong to different teams, it is inevitable to have other thoughts after a long time.If you think too much, it's easy to get into trouble. She doesn't want to add human's own infighting to the already dangerous situation. In that case, she really doesn't know if she can go back alive.

Thinking of this, Lin Rantong thought of An Ran, and when she thought of the fat son sitting at the door every day, hoping for her to go back, her heart felt sore, soft, and ruthless at the same time, no matter what, I must Alive, must!

Thinking of this, Lin Rantong raised his head again, staring at Yan Qingwen with clear eyes, to see what he would say next.

Yan Qingwen and others digested this matter, and continued: "I was very strange at the time, thinking that because this place is not far from the vortex of Qinglian Lake that caused the mutation, the factors that caused the interference with the ability would be good and bad one after another, so I asked Xiao Wang next to me, but he said that the ability still cannot be used. At that time, I had a guess, is it because I am a fourth-level, so the ability is not restricted?"

When Yan Qingwen said this, everyone was stunned. No wonder he wanted to ask Ji Shanfeng, because Ji Shanfeng was the only fourth-order supernatural being besides him!
"Hehe, Minister Yan, when everyone said that the ability cannot be used, I tried it, but I found that I can use it, but I couldn't tell the reason at the time, so I didn't make a sound. Just now you asked so specifically , I thought it might be because of our ranks." Ji Shanfeng laughed.

As mentioned before, the advancement of supernatural beings from the third level to the fourth level is considered a difficult hurdle. Some people may spend their entire lives practicing hard, and the level can only stay at the peak of the third level. From the first level to the third level is as smooth as it is, as long as you are willing to endure hardships and put in effort, advancing to the next level is a matter of course.

But once you cross that hurdle and enter the fourth level, there will be a leap forward no matter in terms of abilities or physical fitness.

At present, in Huaguo, there are not many supernatural beings above the fourth level, but this matter has gradually become familiar to people.

At this time, when they heard the conversation between Yan Qingwen and Ji Shanfeng, many people showed envious expressions, and some people were displeased for a moment.

"Minister Yan, you can use supernatural powers but we can't. I just want to ask a question, can your water system supernatural power support so many of us to drink water?" Zhu Ming said carelessly, but the question was to the point Yes, all of a sudden asked the situation that everyone will face.

Many people only cared about panic when they couldn't use their supernatural powers at the beginning. Once a person tasted the taste of strength, he suddenly became an ordinary person with no power to restrain him. That kind of psychological gap and insecurity in his heart The feeling is very strong. He hasn't recovered in such a short time, and he doesn't care about these issues at all. However, Zhu Ming, who has a carefree personality and doesn't like to waste brain cells, has considered these in a rough and detailed way.

When Zhu Ming asked this question, someone echoed, "That's right, Minister Yan, in the rations we brought back, there wasn't much drinking water, right?"

Yan Qingwen saw that everyone finally brought this acute issue to the surface for discussion, smiled wryly and shook his head and said, "This is indeed Qingwen's lack of thoughtfulness. The rations are still enough for everyone to use for five days, but the drinking water is only used for two days. The tank is in Miss Lin's space, it's used for cooking."

Although Yan Qingwen said so, no one blamed him for negligence. On the one hand, it is because of his high strength that people dare not criticize him openly. On the other hand, each of the 21 teams has at least one water-type ability user , A small team of 8-10 people in total, with this water-type supernatural being, is enough to solve the drinking water problem for everyone.

"Ah, how much water is left in those two tanks?" A person said while looking at Lin Rantong.

Lin Rantong looked at the man's eyes, and smiled coldly in his heart. The man's face was obviously suspicious, as if he would secretly withhold the water.

But it’s not surprising for him to think so. In the last days, the trust between people has long since disappeared. Those who are capable are not bad. Those ordinary people have long regarded food and water as more important than anything else. , There are not a few people who kill people for a steamed bun.

These supernatural beings, usually not short of food, can barely maintain their demeanor. Once they are faced with a food crisis, the evil thoughts in their hearts will never be less than ordinary people. On the contrary, because they all understand After experiencing the taste of strength and feeling that there is hope in the future, the desire to live becomes even stronger.

"That's right, how big is that tank, how long can we drink it for so many people?" Another person asked.

Many people joined in, staring at Lin Rantong with piercing eyes, as if they were afraid that she would run away.

The corners of Lin Rantong's mouth turned up, and he sneered, what is this? At the beginning, he was obliged to help everyone carry food, saving everyone a lot of time on the road, but now he has caused a commotion for nothing, which is not so bad , there are quite a few people jumping up and down alluding to something.

Thinking of this, Lin Rantong waved his hand, two tanks of water, 10 bags of rice, dozens of cabbages, a pile of potatoes, a basket of eggplants, a bag of white radishes, 6 mutated wild boars, 10 mutated rabbits, two A mutant deer appeared in front of her.

"Miss Lin, who are you?" Yan Qingwen asked.

Lin Rantong smiled lightly: "Minister Yan, everyone, this is all the rations we brought this time. Minister Yan can send someone to count and see how much the amount consumed in the past two days plus the remaining amount is compared with what we brought before. Is the total amount right?"

Yan Qingwen hurriedly said, "Miss Lin was joking."

"Minister Yan, you should send someone to check it, and you must reassure everyone." Lin Rantong said lightly.

Yan Qingwen looked at the crowd, thought for a while, and said to Xiaomeng, who was in charge of supplies, "Xiaomeng, since Miss Lin insists, you should go check it out, and then explain the situation to everyone."

"Yes, Minister." A gentle voice said, and then I saw a girl coming to Lin Rantong's side. It was the woman who served Lin Rantong that day.

Xiao Meng looked at Lin Rantong who was smiling at the corner of his mouth, nodded a little embarrassedly, and counted the supplies on the ground.

After a while, Xiao Meng raised his head, looked at Yan Qingwen, straightened his posture and said, "Minister, we have consumed a total of six bags of rice, two wild boars, three rabbits, and some vegetables in the past two days. There is no mistake in the number!" As he spoke, he looked around at the crowd.

"Have you heard everything clearly?" Yan Qingwen looked at everyone and said calmly.

No one speaks.

"Since there is no objection, I hope that in the days to come, everyone will stop doubting about this matter. Miss Lin has always volunteered to help us, and I believe she will not take this matter seriously. Hehe , Miss Lin, since you understand everything, please put these things away." Yan Qingwen said gently.

Lin Rantong smiled lightly and said, "Minister Yan, I don't think it's necessary."

"Miss Lin, are you dissatisfied with what happened just now?" Yan Qingwen asked.

"Captain Lin, don't argue with them, those people are out of their minds!" This was Zhu Ming's voice,

"Yes, Rantong, we all absolutely believe in you." Qiao Feifei's voice came.

"Captain Lin, if you don't put these things away, what will we do when dawn breaks?" This was Si Yue's Ermao.

Lin Rantong sneered in his heart, but said calmly on his face: "Minister Yan, as the saying goes, plums in melon fields should be used to avoid suspicion, and the same is true for Rantong at this time. Now that everyone is facing this special situation, I think these foods have nothing to do with food. For the water, it’s better to send someone to take care of it and put it under everyone’s nose.”

Hehe, she has never been a nice person. Since she is tired after eating so much, she should just throw this hot potato out.
