Zhan Siyu led his men to clear out the remaining mutated beasts from yesterday, while Nan Xiangwan stood on the roof of the car, keeping an eye on the surrounding area.

They arrived very early today, as they needed to get to the other bases before the others. However, many of them were injured yesterday, so it's certain they won't be coming this morning.

With this mindset, the people of Zhan Nan fought with great fervor, and as one animal after another fell, the area around the factory finally quieted down.

Nan Xiangwan instructed the healed brothers to treat the injured, those with space to store supplies, and the others to keep an eye on the surrounding area.

After the four ability users filled their spaces, Zhan Siyu took the rest.

Zhan Si then told them to return to the group, while he went to find something based on his memories from his previous life.

He vaguely remembered that in his previous life, he accidentally fell into a basement while on the run. The basement was full of treasures, and thinking that his wife would like it, he went there without stopping.

When Nan Xiangwan saw the brothers who had been collecting supplies return, he didn't see his husband and asked, "Where's your captain?"

"Reporting to Sister Nan, the captain told us to come back first, and he should arrive shortly after."

"Okay, I understand. You guys go and get some rest."

Half an hour later, Zhan Siyu appeared in front of Nan Xiangwan looking disheveled.

"Honey, we can leave now. We've taken everything out of the house."

Seeing that her man had returned safely, Nan Xiangwan didn't ask where he had gone. In any case, her man wouldn't disappear for so long without a reason, so she decided to ask him when they got back.

Xiao Jing organized the retreat, and soon several vehicles drove away in a grand procession.

An hour after they left, people from other bases arrived, and seeing the empty factory, they all started cursing.

Only Li Jie said to Zhou Muyang, "I think it was Zhan Nan's people who did it. We didn't see any of their people yesterday, so they must have been the ones who got the benefits."

Zhou Muyang listened to Li Jie's words thoughtfully, wondering if it really was them.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Jie continued, "You should know that their base also sent people, but they didn't come with us. Yesterday, we were all tricked. The people from Zhan Nan are really cunning."

Upon hearing this, the people from the Lone Wolf base spat and said, "If it really was their base that did it, then they must be incredibly stupid. Even if they did take it, are we going to go and ask for it back? This place was originally unclaimed; whoever takes it keeps it. We're just unlucky this time. You guys continue chatting; we Lone Wolf people will leave first. This place is empty; we can't go back empty-handed. I'm going to take the brothers to check other places; hopefully, we'll find something."

"Then I won't see you off, goodbye." Zhou Muyang saw Lone Wolf's men off, and then led his team away.

The people at the Dongyang base were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Seeing that there was no profit to be made, they left in a huff.

After Zhan Siyu led everyone away from the factory, he did not go back, but went to another factory. He remembered that there was an oil refinery nearby. Although it had been so long since the apocalypse, there might not be anything left. But since they were already here, they had to go and take a look.

When the midday sun was high in the sky, we finally arrived at our destination.

Looking at the dilapidated factory gate, it's clear that someone has been there before. But whether you can still find something worthwhile, you'll only know after you've seen it.

Nan Xiwang used his spiritual power to penetrate the inside and immediately said, "There's nothing inside. It's very clean. Someone must have cleaned it."

"Let's go then. See if there's anything else we can use. If the oil press is usable, we can take it back with us. After all, we can't live off our savings every day; eventually, we'll run out of money," Xiao Jing said calmly.

"Well, we're already here, a few more steps won't make a difference. Let's go."

The group entered the factory and saw the weathered bones scattered all over the ground, indicating that no one had been there for a long time.

Zhan Siyu separated everyone to go look for things, while he used his mental power to penetrate underground, since many factories have underground warehouses.

"Captain, we have a lot of oil here, but we don't know what kind it is. Would you like to take a look and see if you need it?"

Zhan Siyu stood still, inspected the basement, and then said, "If it's oil, I'll take it. I'll go collect it. Their spaces are all full, only I have some spare space."

Then he continued, "The basement is empty. Just take the remaining supplies on the surface. After that, we need to find a coal mine. Winter is coming soon."

Upon hearing that winter was coming, everyone couldn't help but gloat.

That extremely cold weather is something everyone remembers vividly.

After the oil refinery was emptied, they continued their journey in search of coal mines, determined not to return without collecting sufficient supplies.

As the sun set, they finally encountered a troublesome species.

Man-eating vine!

Looking at the vines everywhere ahead, with leaves fluttering in the wind, Nan Xiangwan wondered if this plant could be contracted.

Before Nan Xiangwan could finish thinking, Zhan Siyu said, "Back off, take a detour. If there's no other way, go back. This plant is very troublesome. If you're not careful, it will turn into a dried-up corpse. We can't afford to mess with it."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jing immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and instructed the vehicles behind to reverse.

It wasn't that Zhan Si was cowardly; it was just that fighting an unnecessary battle would be a waste of time and superpowers. Rather than confronting the man-eating vines here, it would be faster to take a detour.

They went back and forth all day, and it wasn't until very late that they finally found a temporary place to stay.

Looking at the two full buckets of crystal cores, you can tell how turbulent the journey has been.

Nan Xiangwan was so tired that she went to sleep without even eating dinner.

While they were resting outside, chaos reigned at the National Security base. The losses were simply too severe. Not only was Mo Han, who led the team, punished, but the people in the information department were also severely punished. If it weren't for the incorrect information, the National Security wouldn't have suffered such heavy losses. A total of 80 people were killed and more than 50 were seriously injured, which immediately reduced the National Security's combat effectiveness.

If a zombie apocalypse were to besiege the city, there wouldn't even be a place to cry.

Of course, the Lone Wolf Base was very quiet. This was because the people of Lone Wolf were all fearless. Even if everyone in the base died, they wouldn't care. If it weren't for the apocalypse, these prisoners would have died long ago eating peanuts or working themselves to death. They were quite content to still be able to enjoy the outside air.

However, the base commander of Dongyang Base was not so good-tempered. When his subordinates returned empty-handed and learned that many superhumans had died, he flew into a rage, not only cursing the National Security Bureau but also hurling insults at everyone in Zhannan.

Who would have thought that the South Station Base would ultimately benefit? A newly established base has surpassed them all in an instant.

Of course, Zhou Muyang brought other supplies back with him. Although he suffered a lot of losses this time, fortunately, they were all seriously injured but not dead. If he hadn't been smart, he would have been scolded to death by his father when he came back.

However, after Zhou Zheng learned what had happened, he didn't say anything. He knew in his heart that he didn't want his son to do this, and could only say that the National Security Bureau's intelligence was wrong, and he accepted his bad luck.
