Chapter 488 The Landscape of Western Province

The rest of the drive went smoothly, but we didn't encounter anyone.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon, so the group found a place to eat.

After getting out of the car, Pei Xiu said, "Zhou Hang, you drive this afternoon. I can't go on. It's been so dark all day, and my energy is doubled."

"Okay, Brother Xiu, but this eternal night is really uncomfortable."

Everyone felt a kind of indescribable unease; it was always dark, which made people feel very depressed.

After everyone finished their assigned tasks, Gu Zijing suddenly said, "Someone is coming."

"Finally, I've met someone!"

Everyone perked up at the sound of someone approaching.

In the past, when they traveled in the post-apocalyptic world, they often had the illusion that they were the only group of people left in the world, but this feeling was not too strong. However, after coming to the Western Province and encountering this eternal night, this illusion became very strong.

Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang rushed to the door, intending to 'catch' these people.

Sure enough, a group of people came running from around the corner a few minutes later, and above them, someone was flapping their wings and flying.

The group also spotted Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang from afar. Their initially rapid pace slowed instantly, and their anxious eyes turned wary and defensive.

Pei Xiu waved to them: "Hey, hey, hey, hello everyone."

The group seemed to say something, and then the flying ability user flew over first.

This was a woman who looked to be in her fifties, carrying a bag, with prominent nasolabial folds and somewhat dark skin. She hovered in the air, looking down at Pei Xiu and Zhou Hang: "Who are you? Did you call us for something?"

As she spoke, she glanced behind her, and upon seeing that nothing was amiss, she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, don't be afraid. We are a special abilities team from Shaanxi Province. We wanted to ask you about the situation in Shaanxi Province. Why is it always dark and never dawn?"

Seeing that Pei Xiu only wanted to ask questions, the aunt breathed a sigh of relief: "The western province suddenly experienced polar night a month ago, and we don't know when it will be dawn again."

After saying that, she sighed and said, "You came to Xi Province to escape the virus, right? Why don't you go to Chu Province? The situation in Chu Province should be better than in Xi Province."

Seeing that his aunt had misunderstood, Pei Xiu didn't explain. Instead, he went along with her and said, "Too many people go to Chu Province, and I didn't know that the situation was like this in Xi Province."

If the polar night only started a month ago, it's quite possible that Hao Ren and the others didn't know.

During this period, Hao Ren was busy enough with the Weiyang base alone, so it's normal that he didn't pay attention to the situation in the western province.

“Indeed, even we flying ability users dare not fly out to trade or deliver messages.”

The aunt nodded understandingly.

As they were talking, the aunt's team arrived.

There were eight people in the group, including the aunt, both men and women, with the aunt being the oldest. Among them, a young man in his thirties was clearly the leader.

The man was wearing glasses, fleece-lined jeans, and a black down jacket with several holes, revealing the duck down inside.

As soon as they arrived, the aunt reported, "Fengfeng, they are superhumans from Shaanxi Province who came to seek refuge with the base."

"Hello." The man adjusted his glasses, which had become slightly askew from running away, and extended his hand. "We are the superpowered team from the Guardian Base. I'm the captain, Liao Feng. May I ask your names?"

As he said this, his gaze inadvertently drifted toward the house behind Pei Xiu.

Inside, the lights were on, the door was open, and several people could be seen walking around. The aroma of food wafted through the air, along with the distinct clanging of pots and pans.

Pei Xiu reached out and shook hands with him: "My name is Pei Xiu, this is my friend Zhou Hang. We don't know much about the Xi Province base, I wonder if Captain Liao could introduce it to us? Also, were you just running away?"

"Um."

Liao Feng answered the second question first: "There was a horde of zombies chasing us just now, but for some reason, they stopped chasing us after we turned this corner."

When he said this, Liao Feng had a guess in his mind.

As the zombie's level increases, starting from level five, the zombie develops instinctive awareness, just like an animal, and will run away if it senses that the other party is stronger than itself.

"I see." Pei Xiu nodded.

"As for the Western Province base you mentioned..."

Just as Liao Feng was about to make his introduction, Pei Xiu interrupted him: "Captain Liao, let's go inside and sit down to talk. You all look quite tired."

you do not say.

Apart from Liao Feng, who managed to maintain a semblance of composure, everyone else was panting heavily, looking quite disheveled, with even their legs trembling.

Pei Xiu was afraid that if he continued talking, these people would just sit down on the curb.

Liao Feng did not refuse: "Okay, thank you."

A group of people entered the house under Pei Xiu's guidance.

It seemed like the heating was on inside; as soon as you stepped inside, you could feel a distinct difference in temperature compared to outside.

There were a lot of people inside; at a glance, there were about ten. Luckily, the living room was quite large, otherwise, such a large group of people would have been really crowded.

The most relaxed and eye-catching person here is undoubtedly the woman sitting on a single sofa. There is a tablet in front of her, and a lot of freshly cut fruit, snacks and drinks on the small table next to her. Not far from her feet, a fat pig with big ears is lying.

That pig was clearly not food, because it was even dressed in human-like clothing.

People kept pigs as pets even before the apocalypse, so this pig was probably that person's pet before the apocalypse.

On a small stool next to the sofa sat a woman of striking beauty, whose gaze toward the woman on the single sofa was clearly respectful.

Looking at the others, they were all dressed very well, their clothes were clean and of good quality, like wealthy people living before the apocalypse.

When Gu Zijing saw them come in, she went up to greet them and said, "Please sit here. We adults are watching TV over there, so please keep your voices down."

"OK."

Shen Nian Shen took out many chairs from a corner of the room and asked Liao Feng and the others to sit down.

This move shocked Liao Feng and the others.

Spatial ability user!

Actually, it makes sense when you think about it. These people have pots and pans, sofas and chairs, so there must be someone with spatial abilities. Otherwise, how would they carry so much stuff?

Having calmed down, Liao Feng said, "Pei Xiu just asked me about the situation of the base in the western province, so I'll give you a brief overview."

With Liao Feng's introduction, Pei Yi and the others also gained a clear understanding of the general layout of the western province.

Compared to other places, there were more survivors in the western province, probably because it was close to the capital. When the apocalypse broke out, the rescue from the capital was relatively timely.

In addition, the lack of natural disasters in the western province resulted in a large number of survivors, which also led to fierce competition for bases.

In the beginning, there were hundreds of bases in the western province, but later, through gradual mergers and acquisitions, only three large bases remained.

These are the Guardian Base, Dawn Base, and Sunrise Base.

There may still be a very small number of small bases with a hundred or so people in the western province, but apart from these, the rest have basically been monopolized by the three major bases.
