There were still faint traces of dried blood on the ground and the nearby walls, but they had long since turned dark red, with some even looking greenish-black.
When Bai Yaoyao extended her mental power to the southernmost end of the base, she suddenly discovered... there were still humans alive in City O Base?!
It appeared to be an underground shelter. Bai Yaoyao detected roughly two hundred people with her mental power, but even after examining it for ages, she could not find the entrance.
"What? There are people here?!" Everyone was stunned.
"No way, right? It's been over three months since City O Base first called for help. How could anyone still be alive?"
Bai Yaoyao nodded. "Yes, that's right. But although they're alive, their energy signatures are already very weak. They probably won't last much longer. Let's look for the entrance together."
In the end, the observant Chenxuan found two bricks whose color looked wrong beneath one of the collapsed ordinary houses.
Sure enough, prying them up revealed a passage.
The moment they opened it, that smell... nearly sent them all to an early grave.
"Holy shit, this fucking stinks worse than Monkey's feet after a year without washing!" Chenxuan reeled as though he had taken a critical hit, his usual refined demeanor nowhere to be seen.
After letting loose that classic curse, he hurriedly backed away.
Monkey's face instantly darkened. "Little Brother Xuan, you really have a way with words. My foot odor smells way better than this. If you don't believe me, I'll come find you under your covers tonight."
"Absolutely no need... I believe you."
"Quick, quick, quick! Xiao Shiliu, get to work!" Bai Yaoyao also retreated. Resigned to the task, Xiao Shiliu used a special ability to blow away some of the foul stench.
