For this group, simply traveling was incredibly easy. Although they took a detour, they returned to the Blue Fish Survivor Base in less than two days.

Fortunately, nothing happened during their absence.

Everything is proceeding according to the previous plan.

Previously, Lin An and his team had been in charge of managing the living arrangements. With more than thirty additional people, the survivor base had become somewhat crowded.

Theoretically, it can accommodate more than a hundred people, but that would create a feeling of oppression, and it definitely wouldn't work in the long run, but it's fine for a few days.

Gu Lingchuan didn't intend to abandon this survivor base; it could be used as a stronghold, and it was also closer to the city center.

The trivial matters kept Gu Lingchuan and Lin An busy until evening before they were able to let everyone stay.

The next day, they registered everyone's names, strengths, skills, and other information.

After calculating the food reserves, there was enough for everyone to eat for two months. Gu Lingchuan originally planned to rest for ten days before returning, but he had other ideas and postponed the time by ten days.

We still need to leave some people here. There are only a few people we can trust right now, so we decided to let Lin An stay and leave him fifteen people. Among them is a fish farmer who raises fish.

After discussion, we decided to completely transform this area into a fish farming site. There are also many fields nearby, which can be expanded for planting later. It's just a bit far away.

However, a dedicated road could be built that allows vehicles to pass through, which would greatly facilitate communication between the two sides.

It can be completely transformed in ten days or so. The main problem is that there are too many people, and apart from making them do physical labor, there is no other way to make them do anything else.

The one who played the most important role was Lü Ming. He could create a pond in no time, less than an hour.

Lin Yu and Gu Lingxiao did not return this time; the two of them were clearing out the aliens and eliminating the danger.

Many of the hiding aliens were found and dealt with one by one. A large basket of alien crystals was thrown into an intact room by Gu Lingxiao.

"What a pity, so many crystals can't be absorbed. The aliens are really just trouble and have no value at all," Lin Yu sighed.

"The cleanup is almost done. Let Gu Lingchuan's team prepare to take over," Gu Lingxiao said.

"Okay, I'll send the message over right away." Lin Yu summoned the black eagle circling in the sky, tied the note to it, and released it.

Meanwhile, after nearly a month of travel, Hua Zhiyuan and his men arrived at the Third Military Region.

Along the way, from the initial danger to the increasing safety, I finally understood that the place was indeed different before, with too many aliens and high-level zombies.

Once you get here, the difficulty drops several levels.

Hua Zhiyuan had only been there a day when Zheng Guohao arrived, looking travel-worn.

I met with Hua Zhiyuan immediately.

She repeated what Gu Lingchuan had said earlier.

"Is what General Gu Lingchuan said true? He left everything there, including us, to him?"

Hua Zhiyuan sighed. "I did say that, but only if you're willing. If you're not, you can come back and follow me."

"I understand," Zheng Guohao nodded and said.

Upon learning that Gu Lingxiao had dealt with the alien, Hua Zhiyuan was incredulous. "What? How is this possible? A monster that even nuclear weapons couldn't kill was actually dealt with by Gu Lingxiao? You're not kidding me, are you?"

"According to you, wouldn't Gu Lingxiao also be able to withstand nuclear weapons?"

"No, I have to go take a look." Hua Zhiyuan found the person in charge here, and after discussing it with him, he opened the satellite view playback function and found the video from that day.

As the viewing began, the room grew quieter and more silent.

The final silence was terrifying.

"This is still human. He has such strong combat power, why didn't he just attack directly, instead causing us to lose so many people?"

"Could it be that all of this was orchestrated by them to seize the Second Military Region?"

The head of the Third Military Region questioned this.

Hua Zhiyuan shook his head. "It's unlikely. Look at the state of that alien; it's almost severely injured. Even in this condition, Gu Lingxiao was still struggling. Perhaps they didn't know the giant alien would be so weak, which is why Gu Lingchuan and he made that agreement. It's probably just an experiment."

"Furthermore, we can use satellite imagery to trace back the events and see if they were responsible; they have nowhere to hide."

"Old buddy, you're being too absolute. Satellite views can be obstructed. Our technology is quite advanced; in the past, even heavy fog would affect our satellite view."

“No matter what, it’s not impossible to let them stay there. The danger level over there is too high,” Hua Zhiyuan said without further objection.

"That's true, but they also have nuclear weapons and satellite surveillance, so their technological level has suddenly become equal. In short, they also possess the truth."

"It's alright. Our current enemies are those aliens and zombies; there's no need to consider them enemies."

After discussion, it was decided that they would contact Gu Lingchuan and his group, and even engage in trade.

“General Zheng Guohao has left, and he also took Jin Xiulan from the official side with him,” Zhong Jiahao said.

"Sigh, let them go. In this world, nobody knows what will happen next."

Suddenly, the satellite view started flashing with static, and eventually it turned into static altogether. No matter how the technicians tried, they couldn't turn it on.

"Contact other military regions to see if their satellite views are still usable."

But before we could even make contact, other military regions sent inquiries, asking whether our satellite view was still usable since theirs had failed.

"What exactly happened? It's like blinding us; it's absolutely terrible news!"

Meanwhile, Gu Lingchuan led his men to a new gathering place, renamed the Miracle Survivors Base.

After Gu Lingchuan took over, Gu Lingxiao left immediately. He was currently at stage four, but he was already capable of advancing to stage five.

He has to hunt down zombies and evolved creatures as quickly as possible, as these two groups are currently the main source of super energy.

It's not impossible to slowly absorb the super energy in the air, but the improvement is too slow.

Gu Lingxiao, who had just started the Devouring skill, frowned. He felt that there was much more super energy in the air than before, several times more than he could absorb.

Is this only happening here, or is it happening all over the world?

This will only be known after further testing elsewhere.

While Gu Lingchuan was busy organizing the establishment of the Miracle Survivors Base, Gu Lingxiao was frantically harvesting zombies.

Unfortunately, it was too slow to do it alone. He needed to absorb a lot of low-level zombie crystals and super energy crystals before he could feel the improvement. So Gu Lingxiao decided to target high-level evolved creatures and zombies instead.
