Chapter 270 Arrival at Hope Base

One month later.

Like bandits, Ling Ran and his group finally left Xianyang City and arrived in Qingcheng, the city where the Hope Base is located.

Pei Yi and his men have been numb lately. Every day they wake up and all they do is scavenge for supplies. There is no danger.

Besides scavenging supplies, they also killed a lot of zombies and obtained a lot of crystal cores. During this period, everyone's ability level was raised to level four.

Even Wu Tong received a considerable share, which allowed him to upgrade his level two water-based ability to level three.

However, it's impossible to upgrade ice-type abilities to level four for the time being; we'll have to wait until others reach level five.

Upon arriving in Qingcheng, they did not raid the city's supplies, but went directly to the Hope Base.

Hopefully, the location of the base is indeed very remote.

To Ling and the others' surprise, this was also a rural area, and it took more than ten minutes to get to the nearest town by electric bike. It was a truly poor and remote place.

There is a lot of land in the countryside that is worthless. This area is all fenced off. There were no high-rise buildings here originally, but because of the Hope Foundation's arrival, several new high-rise buildings have been built here.

The base is surrounded by a very high and thick wall, which is equipped with an electric fence and has many cameras with red lights on.

Standing at the entrance of the Hope Base, Su Yimo exclaimed, "Wow, how magnificent!"

Hopefully, the base is indeed the largest and most impressive base they have seen along the way, and it also seems to have the strongest capabilities.

They encountered very few bases in several cities in Shanxi Province. Recalling what the woman with the buzz cut had said, it was likely that most of the bases had been incorporated into the Hope Base.

I don't know which base that woman belongs to.

"The bases we encountered before weren't necessarily bad; it's just that we met them too early. Now, going back to the G City base and similar places, they might not be any worse than the Hope Base."

"That's true. I wonder how the Southern Province base is doing now?"

The Southern Province base was, after all, the first base everyone stayed at, and the management of Jianghuai was very humane, so everyone still misses the Southern Province base.

I don't know if we'll ever have the chance to meet again.

As they were discussing this, Pei Yi and Shen Nianshen, who had gone to ask questions, returned.

The basic requirements for entering the base were the same, with not much difference between them. However, while Pei Yi and his group were making inquiries, the patrolling guards had already noticed Ling Ran and her group and frequently cast probing glances at them.

They weren't looking at Ling Ran and the others, but at Wu Tong.

Wu Tong felt that gaze and rolled his eyes: "Ha, stupid and ignorant humans."

He was beaten up by Pei Xiu as soon as he finished speaking.

"You pig, getting all smug now? 'Stupid, ignorant human'? Have you forgotten who you used to be? And who my sister was?"

Wu Tong quickly dodged, saying, "I wasn't talking about you guys, I was talking about the people at Hope Base."

"Then don't just say 'humans'! When you say 'humans,' you mean all of us."

Pei Yi ignored the two guys and was talking to Ling Ran when he caught a glimpse of several guards huddled together at the door talking. Then one of the guards ran towards Ling Ran and the others.

He glanced at Ling Ran, then looked back at Pei Yi: "Hello, are you Her Majesty's team?"

Su Yimo was somewhat surprised: "Hmm? Our adults' names have already spread to Hope Base?"

This statement is tantamount to an admission.

The guard's eyes lit up, and he quickly said, "Please wait a moment, esteemed guests, I will report to my superiors immediately."
