I saw an area in the distance that was brightly lit, forming a sharp contrast with the dead silence and darkness around it.

He Zhuo: "This is the first time I've seen such an arrogant light in these few months."

"It should be the survivor base in Su City." Gu Qi adjusted the focus of the telescope: "It looks quite large."

Chi Yanzhou: "Why don't we just bypass the city and rest near the exit before continuing on our journey?"

Lu Nange pointed to the sign outside the RV: "All roads out of the city pass through that area. It seems we can't avoid it!"

Chi Yanzhou: "Then we'll just have to act according to circumstances."

He Zhuo: "It's another day of fighting back. I hope life will be kind to twenty-year-olds!"

As the distance shortened, Lu Nange gathered his spiritual power: "The front has begun to be blocked! There are three layers inside and outside, and each layer is patrolled by people with guns."

Chi Yanzhou: "I don't know the situation. The modified RV is too eye-catching. It's not convenient for you to move in and out of the space in a crowded place. Should we just get off the car and walk over?"

Lu Nange said to Lu Xici, who was driving the car, "Brother, turn left and stop the car."

Lu Xici turned the steering wheel and the RV slid silently into the alley.

After stopping at the dead end, everyone got out of the car.

Lu Nange tapped his fingertips and the RV was stored in the space.

Since they got the temperature-maintaining clothes, everyone changed into black clothes, black pants and black boots. Now everyone is wearing black baseball caps. If you don't pay close attention, they almost blend into the night.

"Equipment." Lu Nange took out a silenced pistol and a backpack containing a few supplies and handed them to everyone one by one.

They all took it, put the pistols behind their waists, and adjusted the straps of the backpacks on their backs.

Wen Qing was still holding a gun in his hand.

To avoid trouble, the girls wore masks and even pulled the brims of their baseball hats down very low.

Gangzi shrank to the size of an ordinary parrot and landed on Lu Nange's left shoulder.

The wavy little head of Zhizhi poked out of Lu Beiye's cross-body bag, and the vines rustled and adjusted their position inside the bag - at first glance, it looked like an exquisite anime figure.

Everyone followed Lu Nange and moved towards the light source.

Behind the first barbed wire, a row of armed guards stood as if they were facing a formidable enemy.

The telescope's reflection flashed, and the sentry shouted loudly: "Captain! There are survivors approaching!"

The guards in gray uniforms stood up in unison.

The leader looked at the people approaching through the wire fence and asked loudly: "Where are you from?"

"Mirage." Chi Yanzhou replied in a deep voice.

"Each person who enters our base will receive ten first-level crystal cores, and the materials can be used as a deduction." The captain of the guard knocked on the barbed wire.

Lu Xici: "We pay the crystal core!"

Guard Captain: "Come and register!"

Lu Nange's fingers untwisted Lu Xici and Chi Yanzhou's backpacks.

The two men's shoulders sank, and they understood.

As we approached the gate, the guard pushed a basket out from the observation port.

Chi Yanzhou and the other man counted out ten first-level crystal cores and put them in.

"The quantity is correct." The guard who took the inventory reported.

Guard Captain: "Open the door and let them in."

The moment the barbed wire door slowly opened, more than a dozen guns were pointed at everyone at the same time.

Lu Beiye and Luo Xingyou flipped their palms at the same time...

The captain explained, "It's a routine check. You'll stay in the quarantine area tonight. If there are no mutations tomorrow night, you can enter the inner city."

Chi Yanzhou nodded slightly and looked around vigilantly.

An inadvertent position - the girls were protected in the center, Chi Yanzhou took the lead, Lu Xici was the rear guard, and the rest were scattered on both sides, moving along the iron net towards the second iron net.

The captain of the guard shouted into the wire fence: "Sister Xi, someone is coming."

"Coming!" A middle-aged woman in a faded red uniform responded.

"Sister Xi, I'll leave the people to you. I guess the people who went out to look for supplies will be coming back one after another soon. We'll leave first." The captain of the guard immediately led the team back to their posts.

"Don't worry, Vanguard!" Sister Xi had a mercenary smile on her round face and opened the iron gate neatly: "Follow me."

Passing through the narrow passage next to the barbed wire, Sister Xi stopped in front of a row of faded low buildings.

There were many tents scattered on the open space in front of the building, and a group of skinny survivors were making a fire and cooking.

Seeing Lu Nan Ge and his group, they all cast inquiring glances at them.

Sister Xi pointed to the low building in front of her and said, "The rules are simple - one level one crystal core lives in a tent, three level one cores live in a bunk bed in a low building, and as for the high temperature on a hot day, you have to figure it out yourself. One crystal core per bed, with a fan and ice..."

Lu Nange understood and deliberately pressed the two first-level crystal cores into her palms: "Thank you for leading the way, sister. There are many of us. If you want to live together..."

Sister Xi weighed the crystal core, her smile deepened, and she took out a bunch of keys from her waist: "Just call me Sister Xi!"

She lowered her voice and said, "The building on the left is empty today. I'll give you thirty crystal cores and two buckets of ice. You'll have to figure out the rest on your own..."

Lu Nange handed over thirty crystal cores: "Thank you for your care, Sister Xi."

After counting the crystal cores and handing over the keys, Sister Xi suddenly stopped smiling and said, "Remember - don't mess around! Someone will take you into the base tomorrow afternoon. Someone will bring you ice later."

Lu Nange: "Thank you, Sister Qi!"
