[I want to go, please message me privately.]
I'll go too.
Count me in.
[I know a warehouse in the east of the city; my dad manages it. Message me if you want to go, and I'll take you.]
[People were just killed in the shelter, did you see? It was horrific, nine people died at once, and the bodies aren't even cold yet.]
[I'm there, I saw them, those guys are really not to be messed with.]
[Yeah, I originally wanted someone to rob them, but now I wouldn't dare even if you gave me ten lives. Who are those people?]
Sang Luoluo: "..."
The gossip has backfired on me.
He couldn't help but facepalm and continued browsing the forum. He learned that some of the survivors were looking for teams to search for supplies, and most of them were just looting. After all, even if they found the base's warehouse, they would need to clear the rubble first to find food and water. It wasn't that easy to do it by manpower alone.
Amidst the chaotic and disorganized conversations, Sang Luoluo once again felt the terror of the apocalypse; even murder and robbery could be openly discussed in the group chat.
Not only Sang Luoluo, Qi Xue and the others also saw the comments in the forum group. Having just killed someone, they were naturally not afraid, but they dared not be careless. No one knew if someone was watching them and secretly plotting against them.
Thinking of this, Sang Luoluo decided to practice using her Mental Power, creating two mental protective shields to surround their tent from the front and back.
That's more reliable.
On the one hand, they also had to take care of harvesting crops in the space, picking and putting today's fruits and vegetables on the shelves.
Sang Yunpu was lucky; he managed to snag over thirty catties of tomatoes, as well as some fresh peaches.
She ran over happily, woke up Sang Luoluo, and told her to Sang Luoluo away.
Sang Luoluo was browsing the forum. The destruction of Base 71 could no longer be kept secret from the other bases, and some people on the forum had already begun to pay attention to Base 71.
Some base officials have even started posting on forums, offering to unconditionally accept Evolver and their families. Those who are not Evolver can pay a certain amount of Crystal Core to gain entry to the base.
Upon receiving the news, Sang Tong, Sang Luoluo's cousin, contacted her through the Farm App immediately.
Sang Tong: [ Sang Luoluo, are you and your brother still safe?]
Sang Tong: [Reply to me after you see this.]
Sang Tong: [Do you need me to send someone to support you?]
Sang Tong: [Are you there?]
Sang Luoluo replied quickly after seeing it.
Sang Luoluo: [I'm fine, my brother and I are both fine.]
Sang Tong: [It's good that you're alright. Xiaojia, Xiaomei, and I were all very worried. Base 71 is too dangerous right now. You should stay at Base No. 32. I'll handle the rest.]
Sang Luoluo: [I had this plan, but we can't get through now. The meteor shower is coming soon, and the earthquakes aren't over yet. We won't be able to leave the base at all.]
Sang Luoluo: [Once the situation here stabilizes, we'll head to Base No. 32. Brother, don't worry for now.]
Sang Tong: [I've asked Sang Jia to send someone to meet you.]
Sang Luoluo thought this was a good idea.
Sang Luoluo: [Thank you, brother. Tell Xiaojia to be careful on the road; it's very dangerous.]
Sang Tong: [We have the latest armored vehicles developed by our base; I know their importance.]
Sang Luoluo: [Okay.]
It feels so good to have a home; there are people waiting for them at another base.
Sang Luoluo planned to share this good news with everyone first thing tomorrow morning.
In the latter half of the night, some people still kept an eye on them, wanting to launch a sneak attack under the cover of darkness. After all, robbing was much safer than scavenging for supplies in the dangerous ruins outside.
However, without Sang Luoluo's intervention, Qi Feng and Xiao Li had already taken care of everything.
They also took the guns from their hands.
The body was just left there, completely exposed. At this point in time, death was nothing unusual; it happened all over the shelter.
Sang Luoluo was awakened from her sleep by tremors, thanks to the shelter's unique structure, which allowed it to withstand such strong earthquakes.
No one slept well that night, and everyone felt a bit unwell this morning.
Chapter 203 Cooperation Ends, Base 03 Descends
A scream drew everyone's attention.
"Ah!!!!"
"A mutated animal has broken in!!"
"Help!! Help! Please save me! I don't want to die, please, save... me..."
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a mutated wildcat, almost the size of a person, pounce on one of them and begin tearing at him with its jaws.
The mutated raccoon's eyes were dangerous as it looked at the people in the shelter. Suddenly, it let out a sharp cry and looked greedily at the others, as if calling to its companions that there was more food here and they should come quickly.
Qi Feng aimed his Crystal Core at the mutated wildcat and shot it dead.
Unfortunately, although the man was still alive, his blood was pooling on the ground, and he was beyond saving. No one wanted to get involved.
When one mutated animal dies, more mutated animals quickly gather outside the shelter. Their target is the people still inside; these un-radiated humans are the most delicious food in their eyes.
Sang Yunpu climbed out of the tent and exclaimed in surprise, "So fast? Even the shelters aren't safe anymore?"
Qi Xue stood in front of him, scolding, "What are you afraid of?"
They used to hunt mutated animals together, and they weren't afraid of so many. They could also earn Crystal Core while killing mutated animals, which was very exciting.
Sang Yunpu found it difficult to agree; he still preferred a safer life.
Lei Qi and He Fei stepped forward and said, "Boss, you and Xiao Li go and rest first. You can leave the rest to He Fei and me."
Qi Feng nodded, not forcing the issue. He was also quite tired after not sleeping for a day and two nights.
He took Xiao Li to rest.
There were still people willing to drive away the mutated animals from the shelter. If it were to be overrun, no one would survive. The mutated animals were terrifying; one wrong move and you could die. No one was willing to take the risk, so keeping them outside was the best option.
The entrance to the shelter was sealed off, but some people still wanted to go out to find supplies. The prerequisite for going out was to eliminate all the mutated animals roaming outside the shelter.
There is no other good way.
Some people in the shelter had their eyes on Sang Luoluo and her group. Having witnessed their strength last night, they now had their eyes on them.
With their help, the mutated animals outside can truly be wiped out.
If I'm not mistaken, they do possess Crystal Core, weapons that only government officials have.
Before these scheming individuals could find them, the sound of trucks could be heard outside the shelter. It turned out that someone had arrived in an armored vehicle and was fighting against the mutated animals.
Sang Luoluo used her senses to see what was happening outside.
"Huh? Armored vehicles? Those armored vehicles we bought from Base No. 32."
"This is a convoy."
After hearing Jian Cheng poked his head out of the tent. "Before the incident at the base, each of those vehicles was assigned to the captain of the Guard. Now, with these vehicles, they have no problem keeping their lives at the base."
He Fei said, "If only we could snatch one, we'd be safe in the wild."
Lei Qi said, "It's not that easy to steal. Before we even got close, those people had already set up Crystal Core in the car. They're really good with this car."
Sang Luoluo thought so too; it would be a bit difficult to snatch it.
Someone from Base No. 32 has already come to pick them up; they can leave when the time comes.
The mutated animals at the shelter entrance have been dealt with, and the people inside—a group of a dozen or so—are now heading out to find supplies. They are all energetic young adults, with some Evolver among them, each with different abilities.
For example, some power-type Evolver are in high demand at this time.
Sang Luoluo ignored them; they weren't short of supplies for the time being, and they would leave as soon as the earthquake subsided.
Hopefully, there won't be a meteor shower today, otherwise it would be quite troublesome in the wild.
Walking through a meteor shower is too difficult.
However, before the meteor shower could fall, a huge black shadow hovered in the air above the base, blotting out the sun. It was enormous, about half the size of the base, and it was still moving, just hovering there.
Sang Luoluo's senses immediately detected the thing and alerted everyone to look, asking, "What's that?"
Given how big this thing was, the first thing that came to her mind was an aerial base.
Base 03.
That legendary base.
Qi Feng, disregarding any need for rest, looked up at the massive structure above the base with everyone else and declared confidently, "It's Base 03."
Jian Cheng, disregarding his still-healing injuries, looked up and took in the dark figure. "So this is Base 03."
Sang Luoluo asked in confusion, "What are they doing here?"
Qi Feng said firmly, "Of course... it's for resources."
Jian Cheng explained, "Our Base 71 is now destroyed, but a large amount of supplies are buried under the ruins: the base's stored Crystal Core, living Evolver, and of course, the upcoming meteor shower. They're probably here to scavenge. This is the entire base's worth of supplies; collecting them all wouldn't be a small amount."
