There were five people lying on the ground. Three of them were recognized by the crowd, and the remaining two should be soldiers in the base.

A group of people asked questions at the same time, and the person on the ground obviously had no strength left and was too lazy to speak.

But in the absence of entertainment activities, most people are still willing to pay something to listen to gossip.

After a man poured a few bottle caps of water into the person on the ground, the person finally spoke:

"They're all dead. All the others are dead."

"All dead? There were several troop transport trucks on the way out, so many of them, and yet they're all dead?"

"Tell me how he died."

After taking another sip of water, the man on the ground began to tell the story.

The oasis was so large that even the nearby mountains were dyed green. The trees were tall and the plants were relatively lush.

When they arrived at the edge of the oasis, they initially only sent people in to investigate the edge. The plants inside were highly mutated and almost unrecognizable from their original appearance. The leaves were in strange shapes, and some trees were even covered with tumors and other things.

Walking inside, the leaves almost completely blocked out the sunlight, and the plants grew wildly as if they were not affected by the temperature or drought at all.

The air inside was humid, and occasionally a bad smell would waft over, sometimes a rotten smell, sometimes as pungent as chemical materials, and dead leaves almost covered the ground.

Although the explorers did not encounter any danger, the eerie atmosphere in the oasis still made people shudder.

After trying several times and finding that nothing happened, they went deeper and deeper each time. After several attempts, they thought it was safe inside.

Except for the dozen or so people who stayed outside, everyone else went in. As a result, fog started to form in the oasis not long after they entered.

They called the other party but there was no response. After waiting for a few days, there was still no news. It was as if they had disappeared, so they decided to send two people in to check.

Who knows how long they had just entered when they saw their teammate's backpack on a tree. After a careful inspection, they found white bones all over the ground.

After the man finished speaking, someone next to him expressed doubts:

"You've got the wrong guy, haven't you? How can someone be corroded to the bone in just half a month?"

He Xiaobei glanced sideways at the man who asked the question. He looked pale and thin, with no signs of deformity on his body. He was most likely an ordinary person, so she didn't look at him any further.

The wild is very scary now, anything can happen, but anyone with a little common sense would not ask such a question.

He Xiaobei glanced at the group of people around him. These people were not surprised by the man's words. They must have been to the wild before, that is, they were scavengers.

The man on the ground didn't pay attention to the question just now, but continued talking.

After seeing the bones, they guessed that those people might be dead, so they simply ran out to report to the soldiers who stayed behind in the base.

The soldiers had no equipment to contact the base, so after discussing it together, they finally decided to return to the base first.

So they drove back in one car, but they encountered looters on the way and some of them died in the battle.

Although they repelled the marauders, the car broke down and half of the people died, leaving only five of them.

As the man finished speaking, there was a noise from the gate of the base. A group of orderly soldiers walked out and headed straight towards their position.

He Xiaobei looked up. The temperament of these soldiers was different from those of the gatekeepers. Their temperament was as sharp as a sword. It was obvious that they had experienced battles. He didn't expect that there were different types of troops in the base.

She silently stepped back a little, hiding herself in the crowd.

When the crowd saw the soldiers coming, they all stepped aside. The soldiers did not communicate with anyone. They walked into the crowd, took a look at the people on the ground, and then carried one person on their back and went into the base.

The crowd continued to talk until they saw these people enter the gate.

"How did you bring people in?"

"Of course I'm asking about the situation. Do you think the base would be kind enough to treat their injuries?"

"After all, he's a hero who brought the soldiers back from the base. Maybe he'll be given a spot in the base."

"What are you thinking? This little bit of credit is not enough."

After listening for a while, He Xiaobei left the noisy crowd and went straight back to his house.

In such a boring place, a topic can stir people's hearts for a long time. Those people who were taken in by the soldiers were still not released after a few days. People were discussing every day whether these people were left to live in the base.
