Chapter 452: The Dongnan Base
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Tang Susu ate nothing because the shelter was right in front of them. She wasn’t in the mood to eat.
After getting 008 to scout ahead last time, they found no other clues. She also knew that it was useless to think too much, so the only thing she could do was to rush back as soon as possible and find out where the others went in person.
Half an hour later, everyone returned to the place where they had left more than a month ago.
The hardship and length of this trip even made them feel like they had returned from the West after obtaining the Sutra like in the classic Journey to the West.
The smiles on their faces quickly disappeared one by one, however. When they arrived at the entrance, the joy on their faces completely disappeared!
“What… What happened here?!”
“The shelter is gone…”
“No, this is impossible! We’ve left so many people behind. They’ll be fine!”
“Yes, it will definitely be fine…”
Amidst the cheers, everyone got out of the car in a hurry. A few people lost control and rushed forward, but were stopped by Liang Jun and the others in time.
However, they couldn’t calm down. They desperately wanted to go in and look even if they had to push through!
“All of you, calm down!” Tang Susu shouted and instantly had everything under control..
Everyone looked at her in sorrow and despair.
“It’s going to be fine…” As she spoke, she took the lead and walked in. A group of Metahumans hurriedly followed her.
Most of this place had become ruins. An earthquake obviously caused it. But the cause of the earthquake…
It was the worms as large as snakes in giant pits actually caused it!
The reproduction rate of this worm species was horrifying. In a short period, it had already doubled compared to the last time 008 saw it!
At this moment, when they sensed people coming closer, they squirmed. When they spread out, they instantly revealed the densely wrapped corpses.
Clearly, someone died from this…
Everyone became disgusted. Before the worms could crawl out, they threw their superpowers into them.
They died quickly. However, before they could heave a sigh of relief, the few worms that did not die split into two worms!
Even if only one head was left, it could still grow a whole body. Its regenerative ability was far more powerful than those of earthworms!
As long as there was one part left, it would quickly split into countless more.
Helpless, everyone was prepared to give up. After all, no one knew if there would be any survivors here.
Tang Susu, however, found her helicopter, which was still intact at the square. “You guys should wait for me on the road outside.”
“Susu, what are you doing?”
“Poison them!” Her expression turned dark, and it was obvious that she hated these worms.
Everyone quickly retreated. They saw her slowly take the helicopter into the air. When it reached a certain height, it suddenly turned into a rainmaker, spraying out countless fine mist-like liquids.
“Sweet.” Bai Yanhui licked his lips.
“Are you stupid? Hurry and leave!” Lu Yunxiang hurriedly dragged him away.
He remembered that Tang Susu had told him that Chongzhou Shelter had many hidden dangers. There were mountains and rivers, and it was a hotbed for many mutated animals and plants.
She filled up the special pesticide she bought from the mall and put it in the rain machine. After destroying Chongzhou Shelter, she made her way to the hill behind.
The pesticide was going to be banned on 008’s planet. It was a good opportunity to buy some and benefit both sides.
By the time she returned from killing the worms, the others had almost collected all the bones in the pit.
Some people were crying loudly, while others were still repeatedly confirming. The atmosphere was gloomy.
The only thing worth celebrating was that after 008 confirmed that only a few hundred people had been killed, and thousands of people had left. At least they didn’t die from these damn worms.
The Tang family didn’t even need to confirm it and knew that Tang Mingzhou and Mrs. Tang would be fine. Otherwise, what was the point of their hard work even before the apocalypse?
And among these bones, they found two people they didn’t expect.
“Shi Shaochen’s men were shot to death that day. Look at the bullet holes in their clothes and the scratches on their bones!” Liang Jun pointed it out to Tang Susu.
Before anyone could react, Tang Susu’s heart sank.
It turned out that the corpses that disappeared after death were not because of what Shen Zhiting had done, but because there were already signs of the plague at that time!
Everyone was terrified after they gave it a good thought.
“Let’s hurry and leave this place. It’s eerie!”
“Wait a minute.” After a second of being stunned, Tang Susu suddenly dashed off into the distance.
She was heading toward the greenhouse that Professor He had built. It was actually well-preserved. The plants inside should have been planted, but they had all been moved away. And from the traces of movement…
It was Mrs. Tang!
It meant that they had made preparations beforehand.
Here, she also saw the clue 008 had just found.
“Let’s go to Long City!” She strode forward like the wind, wishing she could appear there the next second.
The others looked at each other.
“How could I forget about Long City? That’s where Uncle Wei is going to build his base!”
Everyone instantly cheered up, especially since only two people had found the bodies of their family members, and only some of them. Perhaps the rest of their family were in Long City!
Hence, the group hurriedly buried the corpses. Even the two who had lost their loved ones quickly perked up and asked Cheng Cheng, who was the best at Pyrokinesis, to cremate the corpses of their loved ones into ashes so that they could take them with them.
Tang Susu also gave them a sealed bag to pack the ashes.
After experiencing so many dangers, everyone was not beaten down by the difficulties in front of them. They set off again.
If they were to hurry, they could arrive at Long City by nightfall. Long City was a small fourth-tier city in the southeast.
Although it might be remote, it was a safe spot in the game. When Uncle Wei chose this place back then, Tang Susu already felt that he could build a base and protect more people.
As the group set off in that direction, they encountered a number of people. They had encountered even more people than they had encountered on their way to Long Stone City.
After asking around, he found out that they were going to the Dongnan Base.
The Dongnan Base wasn’t that far from here. It must have been officially built only recently, but Tang Susu had never considered it to be her destination. Other than because of the main leads, it was also because that place was where people died the fastest.
However, with the “female lead” gone. Who knew if the disaster she caused would also disappear…
Meanwhile, despite seeing that they had brought so many supplies, these people weren’t being covetous of their supplies at all.
Instead, they thought that Tang Susu and her crew were from the Dongnan Base.
“They must have returned from a mission. Only the Dongnan Base has the strength to do something like that. They have so many resources. When we earn Merit Points, we can buy them!”
Tang Susu didn’t know what they were laughing about. Was there no one else here other than the Dongnan Base?
“Susu, the Dongnan Base is not that far from Long City, right? Will it have any effect when two bases are built so close at the same time?” Tang Mingqi muttered.
After all, the maintenance of a base required elites and Metahumans. If Dongnan Base was really that good, everyone would go there. Even if they built a base, the people’s loyalty would be shaken and they would want to go to a better place.
“It’s hard to say.” However, Tang Susu felt the base became even more necessary!
As an important place to provide sanctuary for those from the Dongnan Base…
