Chapter 46 It’s time to move out of the basement

Ling Xiao opened his eyes dazedly.

When I saw those trembling green sprouts in the soil,

His big black eyes suddenly opened wide.

Her little mouth opened slightly, revealing an expression of disbelief.

green!

The color of life!

In this desperate end times,

The shock and hope brought by this green are beyond words.

He stretched out his chubby little hand, as if wanting to touch,

But I am afraid of damaging this fragile life.

For the first time, a pure and bright smile belonging to a baby appeared on the little face.

Bai Li looked at the little guy's smile,

I feel like all the hard work is worth it.

She carefully put Ling Xiao back into the carton.

I also lay down beside the experimental field,

Guarding those few green spots,

It's like guarding the most precious treasure in the world.

Days go by,

Daily life in the basement returned to a busy and hopeful rhythm.

The white fur on Bai Li's body has fully grown out, returning to its former fluffy and snow-white appearance. Even because of the nourishment of spiritual energy, the hair has become softer, shinier and smoother.

The strength has also been restored and consolidated at a new level.

She also tried to sew a small piece of clothing for Ling Xiao using the canvas and cotton she found.

The stitches are crooked and the style is weird.

When worn by Lingxiao, he looks like a small glove puppet.

Ling Xiao looked at the Cat Mom brand exclusive custom-made fashion on his body,

His little face was wrinkled, and his eyes were full of disgust and helplessness.

But in the end, he still couldn't break free.

Let Bai Li put it on him clumsily,

After all...it's better than being naked.

Bai Li looked at his masterpiece and nodded with satisfaction.

at the same time,

The zombies she sent to the northwest to investigate near the Hope Base,

Some information was sent back intermittently.

I hope the base does exist.

There are tall walls with patrolling guards.

Occasionally there are convoys coming in and out, and it seems that the management is strict.

But there are some not-so-good signs.

Outside the base, some survivors with pale faces, thin bodies and ragged clothes gathered.

They seemed to be forbidden from entering the inner city and could only build crude shacks outside the walls, forming a chaotic shantytown.

She saw that the patrolling guards treated the survivors on the periphery rudely and even robbed them of their already meager food.

She even saw a small-scale conflict.

Several survivors who tried to storm the gate were shot dead by the guards without hesitation.

Hope Base,

It doesn't seem as beautiful as the blueprint describes.

Beneath the glamorous appearance lies a strict hierarchy, scarce resources and cold rules.

Bai Li's heart sank slightly.

We have food and drinks now, so it's safe for now. There's no need to take risks in that place now.

With their current strength and material reserves,

It's entirely possible to live well in this ruin.

Hope Base,

It can be used as a long-term alternative target.

But it is definitely not a place you need to venture to right now.

They need more power.

More cards are needed.

At least,

She has to wait until she gets the alien crystal core from Fat Orange.

The days returned to their calm and busy rhythm again.

Bai Li practices every day, controls zombies, takes care of the experimental fields, feeds Ling Xiao and changes his diapers, and plays with his two little cat brothers.

Ling Xiao continued his slow and determined practice.

The spiritual energy grew stronger day by day, occasionally causing his little finger to flash with a faint green light, which also lasted a little longer.

Night slowly falls.

The basement entrance was carefully concealed.

in,

A small light that was simply connected with a small battery and LED beads was on.

Emitting a soft light.

Bai Li lay beside the cardboard box covered with a clean soft cloth.

Look at the baby inside, sucking his fingers and sleeping peacefully.

Fat Orange curled up in another corner, his belly rising and falling with his snoring.

The calico cat stood vigilantly in the shadow of the entrance.

In the experimental field, those few tender green spots grow quietly in the night.

I feel so good!

But soon,

Bai Li's good mood was broken after just a few days.

When I changed Ling Xiao's diaper that day,

She keenly discovered that

The little guy's white and tender buttocks and thighs,

I actually had a few small, red rashes. Although they were not obvious, they felt a bit rough to the touch.

Bai Li's heart tightened instantly.

She leaned in and sniffed carefully.

A faint musty smell unique to humid environments mixed with the baby's own milk fragrance came.

basement,

It's too humid here! The ventilation is not good!

Even if you put on a soft cloth and change the diaper,

The little ancestor's delicate skin can't stand staying in this kind of environment for a long time!

"Meow!"

Bai Li made a decision instantly.

move place!

Must move!

Find a dry, ventilated and sunny place!

Her child can't suffer like this anymore!

The goal is clear: to find a new, more habitable base!

Requirements: Relatively high terrain, solid structure, windows for ventilation and light, relatively hidden and easy to defend.

In the next few days,

Bai Li expanded the search area.

She is no longer limited to finding scattered supplies,

Instead, focus your mental perception on finding a suitable building.

She controls more zombies.

Like a scout sent out, moving through the ruins,

Feedback information will be provided for every relatively intact building that is seen.

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed across the sky.

Bai Li suddenly thought of something.

"I almost ignored the threat in the air!"

A big reason why I lived in the basement instead of upstairs was that I was worried about threats from the air.

The last sneak attack by the mutant sparrow is still vivid in my mind.

In the apocalypse, danger doesn't just come from the ground.

She needs eyes, eyes that can look down upon the earth,

Sentinels are needed that can warn of threats from the air.

Controlling zombies is already easy.

Then it shouldn't be difficult to control other mutant creatures.

Once this thought arises, it can no longer be suppressed.

She began to consciously expand the scope of her spiritual perception.

Pay special attention to flying creatures that hover over ruins or nest in tall buildings.

Soon, she locked onto a group of targets.

That was a group of mutant crows.

They are nearly twice as big as ordinary crows.

The feathers are a metallic, glossy black, and the beak and claws are sharper.

The scarlet eyes flashed with cunning and ferocious light.

They usually move in groups and occupy the top floor of an abandoned office building.

It swoops down from time to time and pecks at the eyeballs and rotten flesh of zombies or small mutant beasts. It has a ferocious temperament.

Bai Li chose a large crow that looked particularly strong and seemed to be the leader.

It was now standing alone on a twisted lightning rod, combing its feathers and overlooking its territory.

Bai Li took a deep breath and concentrated.

The spiritual thread stretched out silently, like an invisible spider silk, slowly wrapping around the consciousness of the crow.
