The registration office at the Yellow River Base was much better than the humble registration office in Yecheng at the beginning. After checking the body for wounds and taking blood samples, there was no need to take test questions.
Because the computer was used here to input personal information independently and it also has a camera function.
Zombies could not operate computers.
To Hou Ying’s surprise, there were already instruments in the registry to detect abilities, so the abilities column was not filled in by himself, but the test results were updated automatically. This really made Hou Ying sweat. Fortunately, these instruments were not so precise. They could only detect the attribute, but not the ability level. When he and the others received their personal information registration form, they went to the isolation observation office.
What they do not know was that when their personal data was generated, it immediately attracted attention. After all, there were so many ability users in the team, there were even two water-type ability users and a baby lightning ability user. These two points were already unusual.
When they got to the isolation place, Hou Ying took everyone’s forms and read them. There was no special note. The ability level has defaulted to level 1.
But in a stack of forms covered with red stamps, a striking blue stamp suddenly appeared. Hou Ying pulled it out and found that it was his own information registration form. The blue stamp watermark has three big words:
No Ability.
Qiao Daye keenly saw it and was immediately surprised. Hou Ying quickly winked at him, indicating that there were cameras in the isolation room. He turned his back to the cameras and whispered to them, “I checked it just now. The names are all correct. Cough, let Xuanyuan collect the forms first, so you can easily take them when you need them.”
He put his form at the top so that they could see the blue watermark with no ability on it, and gave them instructions to keep quiet.
We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
After a three-day observation period, the Yellow River Base issued them identity badges. They had seen the nameplates for ability users in Wu Nan and the others, and it was a gold breastplate. Meanwhile, Hou Ying’s was a silver one. The difference was clear at a glance.

Seeing that Hou Ying had chosen the latter, he led them to the Survivor Living Management Area in the outer city without much fuss. However, the others don’t have such good self-cultivation skills. Although Wu Nan stopped them and did not ask anything, they still could not help looking at Hou Ying more.
—They did not expect that there would be 11 ability users in this twelve-person team. What was even more surprising was that the only ordinary person would be Hou Ying, the team leader!
Hou Ying and his members did not have crystal cores on them. When they cleaned up and checked the supplies they brought, he gave Li Hou two crystal nuclei as toys. The baby refused to let anyone take them away, and when he got angry, he electrified the staff. So he had them with him in the end. Now it just came in handy. Wu Nan originally brought some crystal cores for emergency use, but it was useless.
The living management area of the Yellow River Base was very complete. There was also a large supermarket opened by the base nearby. After a little stroll, they found that the crystal nucleus was indeed the currency unit. The transactions were all based on integer crystal cores; paying with crystal nucleus in one hand and getting the goods in the other.
Wu Nan also said, “The base leaders are discussing the establishment of a crystal core bank, just like pre-apocalyptic banks, which provides access to crystal core services, as well as bank card currency. The nuclei can easily attract zombies and it’s not very convenient to carry. Although there are various problems in implementing this policy, I think in the face of this decisive harm, the crystal core bank will be introduced soon.”
Wu Nan and the other four were in a good mood. Hou Ying accepted Wu Nan’s suggestion when applying for the living land in the outer city just now. The site for their independent tent was right next to the one they were living in now. Although there was no way to form a team, it was also good to take care of each other.
Then they went to collect their own supplies and encountered a little situation there. The staff in charge of the materials asked them if they could sell their air conditioners and solar panels. The price was negotiable, but Hou Ying refused. Fortunately, he did not bother more.
A few people did not take this little episode to heart and drove a truck to the tent site under Li Dong’s lead.
Li Xuanyuan and Jiang Tao were good at setting up tents. Seeing that they did not need help, Wu Nan took his team back to the ordinary tent next to them—it was not because they did not want to lend a hand, but because supplies were scarce in the post-apocalyptic world, this kind of attentiveness was plainly annoying and distrustful. Hou Ying was busy making milk for Li Hou. In the isolation room, the baby only ate the rice soup provided by the base, which made him, who had carefully raised his son, feel distressed.
They requested a large tent, so it cost one more crystal core per day than an ordinary tent. The team has 12 people so they need such a large space.
Gongsun Jing and the others quickly moved the supplies into the tent. Fortunately, it was 8 a.m. The people living in this area were all people with abilities. At this time, they all went out to earn crystal nuclei or contribution points. Otherwise, such a big movement would certainly attract a lot of onlookers.
The truck was parked aside. Soon, people dressed in base management clothing took a picture with a pre-apocalyptic smartphone and handed them a form, “Fees will also be charged for the space occupied by parked trucks. A crystal core will be charged every three days. See if there is any problem. If you can’t afford it, the base can buy it at a fair price. If you want to rent it, it can be given priority and be rented a crystal nucleus for five days.”
Hou Ying naturally did not consider the latter. He filled out the form and paid the truck parking fee. When the group left, he spread his hands to the crowd and said, “The people at the Yellow River Base are very good at economics. We’ve lost a lot of money in this transaction.”
Hou Ying’s business habit of haggling over everything broke out, and he felt uncomfortable. In the past, he was the only one who cheated others. Li Hou, who was in Li Xuanyuan’s arms, also waved his small fists to cheer his father. Gongsun Jing comforted him, “Brother Hou, we have to bow our heads under the eaves. Let’s endure it for a while.”
If they already plan to live here for a long time, they must have a long-term plan. But now, their goal was to find people, and future plans would depend on the situation. So if they borrow someone else's Dragon King temple for the time being, of course, they have to offer some offerings.
Hou Ying said, “Well, we’ll have dinner later. Ji Yao, you, Xiaohe, and Xiaohai will stay here to watch Li Hou. We’ll bring our identity cards with us to register.”
Originally, he did not intend to mobilize the team like this, but Wu Nan said that at least three team members must be present when registering a team. It was stipulated that one level-2 or three level-1 ability users must be present. The more people who go in person, the better, which was good for the team’s rating. The benefits of the D-level team and the highest-level S-level team were very different, the subsidies given by the base to each level were not the same. So Ji Yao and the others were left behind, while the rest were all active.
The Yellow River base occupied the largest area among the four bases. In addition to the imperial capital as the base camp, Tianjin City, which was close, was included in the security scope of the base.
The guild was built in the middle city and has two offices. However, there was no special window for the search service but was handled by the Team Management Office altogether. If Wu Nan and the others had not told them, they would have to spend a lot of time inquiring about it. The Team Management Office held the information of all registered populations of the base and was divided into four functional areas: application, inquiry, upgrade, and task.
The procedures for establishing and disbanding a team and adding team members were all handled in the application area; in the inquiry office, you could ask about the contribution points of all team members, task rewards, and team subsidy information; the upgrade section was where the team level upgrade procedures were handled. The review of when a team’s level was going to be upgraded was very strict. There were also strict regulations on contribution points, the number of team personnel, overall combat strength, and so on. This was also the most desolate place in the bustling team office area. The task functional area exists for publishing and accepting missions.
Using the method of queuing by number, there were still five teams in front of them. According to Wu Nan, the queue time at the application window was very long. If the team applying for dissolution has a dispute, it would be even more delayed and inefficient.
Seeing that there were still five teams, Wu Nan asked Li Dong to get the form and fill it in in advance and invited them to the query area. He showed them the query function and explained the source and use of various data in the background of the team system.
In the end, he refreshed the homepage of the Yellow River Base team system for them to see. There were ten teams on it. There were only three details: team name, level, and contribution points.
The first three were S-level teams, while the other seven teams were all As. The contribution points of the top three teams were very closely tied, meanwhile, every other team behind has a gap of tens of thousands of points.
Wu Nan introduced, “Team Xiongshi, Team Xuri, and Team Changhong are the only three S-level teams in our base. Ordinary people and ability users who haven’t been absorbed into the base’s army can apply for the teams. However, their identity and the resources they can obtain are still very different. As far as I know, the captain of the Xuri team, Shen Xu, is the heir to the Shen family in our base.”
He pointed to the sky and everyone understood that that was a big official family.
“The combat effectiveness of the S-level teams is stronger than that of our official army. They are so high because they often accept entrusted missions and act together with the official.” Wu Nan said and pointed to the fourth place, “The Jiu Wei Team, which hasn’t been solicited by any forces, is the uncrowned king among the civilians among the teams. Their team’s points have always been far ahead. By the way, their captain, you should have heard of it at the Yangtze River Base before, was the first special ability user discovered. His ability is known as corrosion.”
“He was a legend in the league. At first, because his corrosion ability was so special, he almost killed our army together with the zombies when he went on a mission, so he had to retire. Then he was the first to establish a team. Up to now, under the leadership of their captain, the Jiu Wei team has become a local tyrant. Their resources are very good. Those of us dream of getting their favor one day, so we can enjoy the glory and wealth—”
Before Wu Nan finished speaking, a burst of hearty laughter approached, “Oh, the young man’s mouth is so sweet. If our captain hears you praise him like this, he will definitely bring you a delicious drink.”
