Bai Ye had used an alias, and he also concealed some details about his superpower capabilities—listing himself as a Level 1 Gold Element user. He had employed a Concealing Technique to contain the energy fluctuations emanating from his body, camouflaging his aura to that of a Level 1 Superpower User, confident that no one would detect his true power.
He had specifically taken note that among the forty-five people seated in the truck, apart from one Second-level Superpower User, the rest were Level 1 Superpower Users. These individuals dared to remain outside until so late, indicating a fair amount of confidence in their own abilities. This meant that within this Safe Zone, a Level 1 Superpower User was considered to have respectable strength, while the number of Second-level Superpower Users was likely still a minority.
If he had registered as a Second-level Superpower User, it would inevitably draw the attention of various powers within the Base, and trouble would surely follow. He and Fang Yuxin had simply come to find someone; there was no need for them to become deeply entangled with others in the Safe Zone.
Fang Yuxin had likewise obscured her true strength, disguising herself as a Level 1 Superpower User. Moreover, she had deliberately listed her superpower as a Fire Ability, rather than the Wood Element she had always claimed publicly.
Wood Element Superpower Users were quite special due to their healing and plant-growth abilities, and even Basic or Level 1 users would attract attention from varying factions. Fang Yuxin did not wish to court trouble, so she decided to pretend to be a Fire Element Superpower User instead.
After the two of them had finished registering, the others also came forward to fill out their information. Liu Zhenglin and Zhao Yan had only recently awakened and, along with their poor talent, their energy was weak and difficult to detect, so they hesitated briefly before both choosing ’no.’
They had no intention of staying in the Safe Zone, preferring instead to follow Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye, so naturally, there was no need to reveal their Awakening.
As others finished registering their information and saw they had chosen ’no,’ suspicion immediately arose in their minds, but they dared not openly challenge this decision, instead weighing their own thoughts silently.
Once the forms were completed, they were taken by an official inside. Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin guessed correctly; the official, upon reviewing their registered information, seemed to become friendlier, yet did not show extraordinary concern.
Clearly, while Level 1 Superpower Users possessed some strength, they were not considered significant enough to draw significant attention.
When the official noticed the rest were Ordinary People, his demeanor cooled substantially, in stark contrast to his interaction with Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin.
After registration, the next step was to pay with Crystal Cores. Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin naturally had no shortage of Basic-level Crystal Cores, but it was a problem for the others. Both Zhao Yan and Liu Zhenglin had already slain zombies on the road and could produce Crystal Cores. Qian Lang and his grandson could also present them, but the remaining individuals were unable to do so. As they saw the official’s expression growing increasingly sour, they could only look to Bai Ye and Fang Yuxin for help with pleading eyes.
