Chapter 83: People from the Base 2
Xiao Yi Fei led a group of people into the cave.
As they walked, they thought living in a cave would be dark and damp, but who knew that when the entrance to the cave in the mountain wall opened, it was brightly lit inside!
“Brother Yi, this, this cave is so bright and warm!”
“Yeah, it’s completely different from the outside!”
The temperature in the apocalypse was like an elevator, sometimes hot enough to kill, sometimes cold enough to kill, but supernatural ability users had energy protecting their bodies,
so ordinary temperatures weren’t a big deal for them, but it was hard for ordinary people to endure.
Dying of heat or cold was common.
But now the cave was warm, and this suitable temperature made people feel like they were back in an air-conditioned room before the apocalypse.
And the light emitted by the seashell lamps along the corridor was different from the lights or candles made by supernatural ability users.
The fair light made people feel a sense of nostalgia, as if they were in another lifetime.
As soon as Xiao Bao Yu finished placing a seashell lamp in his room, he saw his brother leading a group of people in the corridor.
“Brother, you’re back!”
“Mm, Little Bao, what’s going on?”
He didn’t understand these lighting devices; they clearly weren’t there before.
Xiao Bao Yu glanced at these newcomers and explained, “These are things Sister Sang Chu brought back. They’re very bright, and basically every room in Building Number One has one. Brother, let me show you.”
He took out a seashell lamp. When he closed it, the light disappeared, and when he turned it on, it lit up again.
“These, these are in every room?”
Zhang Xiao, a supernatural ability user, looked at them in astonishment. Xiao Bao Yu used a key to open a room door, and there was a seashell lamp inside: “Sister Sang Chu said one per house is enough. The room door can block the light when closed and provide illumination when opened.”
Xiao Yi Fei handed them the keys: “Your five families can choose five houses. The rooms with three peach blossoms drawn on the door are three-bedroom, two are two-bedroom, and one is a single room, which makes it easier to see. The living area leads straight to the canteen, water source area, bathhouse, and bathroom. Our base currently only has A Chu, a water element supernatural ability user. She will divide the water into potable and daily use water.
To save water, please try to bathe in the water storage pool. After bathing, take the used water to the bathroom for further use. Although it’s a bit troublesome, the conditions here are already much better than many bases!”
Zhao Xiao: “Of course, of course, the accommodation here is already very good. Brother Yi, don’t worry, we know what to do.”
Zhao Qian, Zhao Xiao’s sister, was dark and thin. She stood behind her brother and asked softly, “Brother Yi, can we use these freely? What do we need to exchange for them?”
Xia Han, a supernatural ability user, said, “That’s right, Brother Yi, how do we exchange for food?”
In his base, to get food, besides killing zombies, wood element supernatural ability users had to provide blood to cultivate seeds. He didn’t want to be a blood bag anymore, which was why he wanted to follow Brother Yi.
At least Brother Yi didn’t treat them like non-humans like Quan Jian did.
But now that the question was brought up, his heart clenched.
Xiao Yi Fei: “Don’t worry. Although I’m not the leader of the base, my word is my bond. No one here will use you as a blood bag. However, the entire base belongs to Sang Chu, who is the woman you just saw. You must abide by the base’s rules, otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“No, no, Brother Yi, don’t worry.”
Xiao Yi Fei: “Alright, hurry up and choose your rooms. A Chu is still waiting for us.”
“Yes, yes, we’ll choose now, we’ll choose now.”
Xiao Yi Fei gave them all five keys and let them choose their rooms.
The locks and keys for each room were specially made by robots. When not locked, the keys could open any room door freely. But once they chose, they could operate it on the optical computer to change and lock their keyholes and key patterns.
This way, their keys would only be able to open their own room doors.
There was also a wooden sign in each room. As Xiao Bao Yu followed them into a room, he pointed to the wooden sign and said:
“On this wooden sign, write down your names and the number of people in your family, then hang it on the door. Supernatural ability users, come with my brother to find Sister Sang Sang. For the rest, you can rest first if you want, or familiarize yourselves with the place. I live in the first room ahead. My name is Xiao Bao Yu, you can come find me anytime.”
Xiao Bao Yu was essentially the dorm manager now!
Xia Han: “Then I’ll go out first. Mom and Dad, Brother, you guys set up the wooden sign here, hang it on the door, and then rest.”
Xia Ru: “You go ahead. Mom and Dad are with me.”
“Okay, Brother, if anything happens, go find Xiao Bao Yu. Try to wait until I get back.”
Currently, they didn’t know the situation of this base. They only followed because they trusted Xiao Yi Fei.
They thought that with his strength, even if he wasn’t the leader, he would have a say. But upon arriving here, they realized things weren’t as simple as they thought.
This made him feel a bit uncertain.
Among the five supernatural ability users, there was one girl who walked at the very back of the group, with disheveled hair, her head constantly bowed.
On the mountaintop
Lu Min Feng looked at the seeds Sang Chu took out and asked curiously, “A Chu, what are these?”
“These are things I found in the Demon Realm. On the surface, they look like peach blossom trees, but they are actually very powerful killing weapons. Didn’t you want to build our apocalypse paradise here? Since our base is called Peach Blossom Spring, let’s plant some peach trees. These peach blossom trees can serve as a second line of defense.”
Lu Min Feng: “Are you guarding against mental supernatural ability users?”
He already knew that their neighbors were afraid of supernatural ability users. Although those mutated plants were powerful, they seemed no match for mental supernatural ability users.
If these peach blossom trees could indeed serve as a second line of defense as Sang Chu said, it would be good. At least their safety would have an extra layer of protection.
“Mm, we don’t know how strong mental supernatural ability users are yet, so I plan to accelerate the growth of the peach blossom trees and plant them in a circle around our base. This way, we’ll have more confidence in waking up Aunt Jian.”
Lu Min Feng understood Sang Chu’s idea. It wasn’t a solution for her to remain in a coma. They needed to find the weakness of mental supernatural ability users, and they also needed her to train everyone. This way, they wouldn’t be as helpless as before when encountering mental supernatural ability users.
Seeing people approaching in the distance, Lu Min Feng winked at Sang Chu. The two turned to look, and Xiao Yi Fei had already led the supernatural ability users towards her.
Xiao Yi Fei: “Sister, let me introduce you. This is Zhao Xiao, a Level Four wood element supernatural ability user. Ma Ya Ru, the only girl in this group, Level Four. Gao Qiu, Level Three. Xia Han, Level Three. An Hao, Level Two. This is our base leader, Sang Chu. Lu Min Feng, you all know me, so I won’t introduce myself.”
