What's wrong with being a little arrogant in the apocalypse just to support my wife?

Chapter 404 Supernatural Transportation

There was no mind control involved; they were just incredibly motivated on their own. But no matter how they explained it, the other groups remained skeptical.

Similarly, Jiang Yue, who has been very fussy these days, has inexplicably been unfairly blamed.

When Lu Yize led them to build the starship, a small group of people were also assigned to work on the base's infrastructure. One of their achievements was opening a subway line to the residential area where these researchers lived.

Although using superpowered skateboards or superpowered bicycles is pretty good right now, the base is too big now, and for some people who commute long distances, even using superpowers will still take a lot of time.

After all, many people have just been injected with awakened genes and are at most at level one, so their superpowers are not enough to support long-distance commutes.

To make it easier for the cattle and horses to get to work, Lu Yize sent Chen Minzhang with a team to survey and research the area. It took them almost a month to create a subway system that could utilize supernatural abilities.

Most of this data actually came from the Starship Group, since they were largely the same. After obtaining the data discarded by the Starship Group, they found that it could be used on these vehicles.

This subway isn't much different from the one before the apocalypse, except that its core energy source has changed from basic energy to kinetic energy converted from supernatural abilities. It's fast, stable, and perfectly solves their commuting needs.

Moreover, taking this subway is very convenient. There are two payment methods: one is to settle the payment in general currency based on the distance of getting on and off the train, and the other is to charge a corresponding amount of alien energy based on the distance of getting on and off the train.

You can choose to use universal currency directly, or you can choose to enter the corresponding amount of superpower. For some high-level superpower users, this is incredibly convenient. How is this any different from a free commute?

All the superpowers they paid for will be preserved intact and used for the energy needed for the subway. However, even so, the requirements for subway drivers are very high.

Not only must one be able to drive a subway, but one's ability level must also be at least at the fourth level. Furthermore, a selection process was conducted, ultimately choosing two fourth-level rhinoceros-like beasts, one ancient tree plant, and one fourth-level human ability user.

Having a stable personality, strong abilities, ample supernatural powers, and superb driving skills, I was able to take on my current job. The job pays very well, but the work is not difficult, and it operates on a shift system.

Those who got the jobs were naturally happy, but the rest were not discouraged. After all, this was only the first line to be opened, and according to the plan, there would be many more new lines in the future.

Their demand for such talent will only continue to increase. After thinking it through, those with lower ability levels are hurrying to upgrade their abilities, and those with lower driving skills are rushing to seek advice. Clearly, they are all working hard to prepare for the next time.

However, the surprise came even faster than expected. Soon, those who were quite capable but narrowly missed out were given a second chance.

Chen Mingzhang conducted a second selection among these already screened individuals, assigning them to operate the base's public transportation. Operating the base's public transportation was simpler than operating the subway, and the required level of special abilities was also lower.

Moreover, the bus system was deployed relatively quickly and the demand was high. When they got this opportunity, they were overjoyed because the job offered very good pay!

They were willing, of course, but with some hesitation, they felt they could get another job at the subway station next time, so they gave up this job.

Chen Mingzhang expressed his understanding and assured them that this withdrawal would not affect the next recruitment.

Because a lot of positions were offered at once, the base was filled with celebratory sounds. Those who didn't participate in the recruitment were in high spirits because they no longer had to skateboard and expend most of their superpowers to get to work early in the morning!

When people first get their hands on the super-powered skateboard, most are indeed very excited, but once it becomes their main mode of commuting, it's hard to like it.

They used to work themselves to the bone and expend their superpowers, and for some people who were traveling very far, it was enough to make them want to cry. But now that they have transportation, they only need to use a portion of their superpowers.

This ability consumes far less energy than they would using to skateboard or ride a bicycle! It's only about one-tenth of what they used to, so of course they'd be happy with it!

It's also very convenient, similar to inserting coins. You just need to input your special ability into the machine. There will be a progress bar while you're inputting, and the system will automatically cut off the input after you finish.

There's a subway station and a bus stop right outside Gavin's house. He's gotten to know quite a few people in the neighborhood recently because of waiting for the bus. His past incident caused quite a stir, so many people know him.

Some kind-hearted people came forward to comfort him, telling him to live a good life so that his parents could rest assured.

Gavin was very grateful and would occasionally help them with small favors. Sitting on the bus, watching the scenery flash by outside, Gavin had the illusion that the apocalypse was far away from them.

Now everything is being rebuilt, and there is hope everywhere. He felt that things would get better and better, that they would be built more perfectly, and that they would be free from the suffering brought by the apocalypse.

When Gavin arrived at work, he noticed that the leader wasn't there. Curious, he asked a colleague, who, without even looking up, explained, "The leader probably won't be coming for the next couple of days. He's got some things to do, but don't worry, he's already assigned us all the tasks. We won't be idle."

"What did the leader go to do?" Gavin asked casually.

However, his colleague shook his head, "I don't know, sigh. It's good that the leader is away for a couple of days sometimes, otherwise I always feel like I can't get anything done. He's always coming up with new tasks. Do you know how terrifying it is to be with a bunch of idiots? You don't know, because you're the most idiotic."

By the end, a hint of resentment had crept into his eyes. Well, let's get back to work. There's a mountain of experimental data waiting for them. Time is of the essence; now's not the time for idle chatter!

Gavin didn't think much of it. After putting down his things, he started experimenting. He was now tackling a difficult problem. Once he solved it, there was a high probability that he could speed up the starship's completion efficiency.

Lu Yize, whom they were discussing, was currently with Xie Hongyang, Sheng Xue, Jiang Yue, and others. They had previously retrieved Mu Wan's spiritual body and spent some time gathering materials.

Now all they need to do is put Mu Wan's spirit body into the newly created body, which requires the help of Sheng Xue, Lu Yize who has strong mental power, and Jiang Yue who is mentally trained.

Xie Hongyang had already paid a large sum of money to the three of them, and Lu Yize found it hard to refuse because of that money.

Xie Hongyang couldn't offer any help; he could only watch as Jiang Yue placed Mu Wan's spiritual body into the newly sculpted divine melody.
