Tianbei Base City! Settling Down in Spark!
"This..."
Cao Fengqi found Sister Youya's words somewhat outrageous.
"The Spark Guild has over two million ordinary members. If a thousand die every night, wouldn't that mean over three hundred thousand die every year? Isn't that an exaggeration?"
He couldn't help but ask, "And where do these guys hide during the day?"
"It's just that the number has increased recently, so the Spark Guild has also increased the number of Night Watcher."
"As for the hiding places of evil spirits and beasts during the day... they can transform into a state of evil energy during the day, but can reform once night falls."
As Xiao Youya spoke, she paused, her brows furrowing as she told him some heavy, uncertain news. "I heard from Qinglan that the days will become shorter and shorter, and eventually, eternal night may descend, turning the place into a paradise for evil spirits and beasts. At that time, people all over the world will need to seek the Land of Dawn."
"The Land of Dawn?"
Cao Fengqi's gaze sharpened upon hearing this word.
He also received this information at the mayor's mansion in the Desolate Town.
"I'm not entirely sure about the specifics, but in short, Tianbei Base City isn't as safe and wonderful as we imagined."
As Xiao Youya spoke, she looked ahead and said in a deep voice, "Perhaps one day, we will have to migrate... flee."
This statement also aroused Cao Fengqi's suspicion, and he looked ahead at the Seventh Sanctuary of the Great Xia.
One by one, shelters came into view, and they could see people around them looking at them curiously.
He could see a familiar plant growing around each shelter.
That kind of grass that can be eaten to fill one's stomach, but tastes like excrement.
In this sanctuary home to over 50 million people, ordinary wheat and corn can no longer be grown due to the invasion of evil spirits.
This also means that food remains a very serious problem here.
Fortunately, there's this unpalatable grass that can fill our stomachs.
"We are superhumans, so there's no need to worry too much. Once we reach Spark, I will set up an array to protect our shelter."
Xiao Youya looked at him and said.
"Okay, Sister Youya, we'll look after each other then."
Cao Fengqi nodded.
"When evil spirits arise at night, close your doors and forbid all movement; hold fast to your safe haven, and you will survive."
"The curfew is strict, the shadows are menacing; those who dare to cross the Bulwark will be punished on night watch!"
"Within the walls, peace and security are paramount; killing is strictly forbidden. Anyone who disobeys and commits violence will be executed on night watch!"
At that moment, a warning message was playing on a loop from a loudspeaker not far away.
Rows of watchtowers, each tens of meters high, rose up in the distance.
Interspersed throughout the area were reconnaissance outposts imbued with arcane energy.
The Liangmin County migration team has completely entered the Tianbei Base City.
"More country bumpkins have come here."
There are quite a few people here.
Sounds could be heard, and uniformed officials arrived.
Cao Fengqi, also looking around curiously, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Youya, is there still electricity here?"
"Electricity is available, but it's generated using souls. To have electricity, you need to pay one level 4 soul each month."
"Never underestimate the power of the nation, or the strength of its researchers."
Xiao Youya, clearly having done her research beforehand, continued, "Not only is there electricity, but also internet. As long as we're within the Tianbei Base City area, we can quickly establish communication. The Spark Guild will distribute these items to us once we arrive at our accommodation."
"We've joined Spark and are heading directly to the center of the base city with Qinglan and the others from their Transcendent Shelter."
Cao Fengqi nodded in agreement.
He glanced around; those who hadn't joined the Spark were not allowed to enter the Spark area.
They need to join a faction, or directly join the official government, and reach the designated area.
Today, forces like the Spark Guild are equivalent to companies in the past, but with greater power.
Once you join, you need to pay compensation if you want to leave; otherwise, the Spark Guild has the right to strip you of your assets.
Some organizations treat ordinary people very well in order to attract 'employees'.
Some of these establishments rely on other methods to lure in 'employees,' making them sweatshops.
Dragon Head Mountain is a typical example of a sweatshop.
However, Dragon Head Mountain treats its extraordinary individuals far better than other forces.
With a population of over 300,000, Liangmin County represents a huge 'resource'.
After all, once you join Dragon Head Mountain, you'll have to hand over your livelihood, trade goods, taxes, and so on to Dragon Head Mountain.
If someone steps onto the Transcendent Sequence, they are directly joined by them, enhancing their strength.
This is also why Dragon Head Mountain sent people to investigate and showed murderous intent towards Cao Fengqi after seeing the failure in Liangmin County.
"Tianbei Base City is a completely different place from what it was ten years ago."
"The situation here is different from what we imagined."
After chatting with Sister Youya for a while, Cao Fengqi returned to his father and the others.
They glanced around and spoke slowly.
The atmosphere Tianbei Base City was somewhat oppressive, unlike the bright lights of countless homes they had imagined.
After entering the Tianbei Base City, they drove for another 3 hours before stopping.
Welcome to our Spark Guild!
"This must be Miss Xiao. She truly is a woman who is just as capable as any man."
"Brother, this is Cao Fengqi, a prodigy among Artifact Refiner Sequence."
"Today is a joyous occasion for us at Spark! We have prepared a celebratory feast for everyone. Come on over!"
As they stopped in front of one luxurious shelter after another, Feng Qinglan led a group of high-ranking members of the Spark Guild to greet them.
They welcomed us warmly.
Cao Fengqi looked at the powerful members of the Spark Guild with their formidable auras, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
His Cheat Supply Scan was always on, and the group of people in front of him all had level 8 or even level 9 resources.
"They should all have reached the Third Sequence, but I wonder if there are any who have entered the Fourth Sequence in Tianbei Base City."
Cao Fengqi thought to himself.
He exchanged a few polite words with each of them.
"Brother, let me introduce you. This is the Sister Youya I told you about. Isn't she beautiful?"
Feng Qinglan stood beside a handsome young man and smiled as she spoke to him.
"Hehe, yes."
When Feng Qingxuan saw Xiao Youya, his eyes lit up, and he greeted her warmly, "Hello, I'm Qinglan's older brother Feng Qingxuan."
"Hello."
Xiao Youya smiled and nodded at him.
"This Spark looks pretty good."
Following the executives of Spark to a luxurious banquet hall, the group was slightly amazed.
Tableware made from various grade 4 and 5 glass and metal materials.
The walls were resplendent with gold.
The dome shimmered with a radiant pearl.
Everything about this place screams luxury.
Even in the apocalypse, the lives of some of the elite remain luxurious.
"The food tastes good, but the quality is too low. Why didn't they prepare some level 5 or 6 food and wine to treat us?"
Cao Fengqi looked at the food in front of him and commented.
"That's right, that's right," Xiao Youxiu chimed in from the side.
Zhang Mo Zhao Chentian, and the others standing nearby smiled.
Now that Zhang Mo's wife has recovered and Zhao Chentian has taken his revenge, they are smiling much more.
"We're going to settle down here now."
Cao Fengqi looked at the people following him. "I can't guarantee anything else, but if you need to forge equipment in the future, just prepare your souls and materials and come find me. Don't be shy."
"Good godfather."
"Hey, what the Zhao Chentian? You can't just call someone 'godfather' like that!"
"???"
Everyone who saw this couldn't help but smile.
Chen Tian and his wife, along with Xiaohua, stood somewhat awkwardly to the side.
They had been led by the Cao Family and accidentally Tian Family upon the Spark Guild.
There was a sense of disorientation, but more than that, there was a feeling of bewilderment and relief.
