Chapter 633 Where did the system go?

The Lost City is quite quiet during the day.

Unlike other bases, which are bustling and lively, the market is mostly empty except for buyers and sellers.

It's so cold that there's no need to go out; most people stay home and keep warm on their kang (heated brick bed).

However, the Lost City has recently encountered some problems.

That means there's not much coal left.

In such cold weather, it would be difficult to go out and collect firewood, since the mountains might be even more dangerous than places with more zombies.

The reason why we can't see pet cats and dogs in the city, or tigers and lions in the zoo after the apocalypse is that they either ran into the jungle or were eaten.

At this moment, in the high-level conference room.

Feng Ming then brought up the coal issue: "Not only will we run out of coal, but we also need to get some meat. Eating only vegetables all day isn't good for everyone's health. There are plenty of resources in the mountains, so no matter what, going up the mountain is imperative. What do you all think about this?"

"Lord, we know the mountains are rich in resources, but they are also dangerous..."

Putting everything else aside, encountering a wild boar would be a real problem.

Even before the apocalypse, these wild boars were difficult for ordinary people to handle, let alone after the apocalypse. Not to mention, if they encountered bears, lions, tigers, or anything like that, they could practically be declared dead in advance.

"I know there is danger, but danger and benefit go hand in hand."

As Feng Ming spoke, he took out a cloth bag: "There are more than 30,000 level 3 crystal cores here, enough to create a level 7 ability user. I've decided to have the deputy city lord level up to level 7 and have him lead the team up the mountain. Old Qian, what do you think?"

He looked at the middle-aged man, around forty years old, sitting to his lower left.

“Okay.” The deputy city lord, also known as Old Qian, readily agreed.

"It's dangerous up in the mountains, so I suggest you don't rush. Focus on survival and explore the outer areas. There should be plenty of supplies there too."

Old Qian nodded: "I know the city lord."

"Well, after that, there's one more thing I need to tell you all." Feng Ming glanced at everyone present, then called out a name: "Mu Yu, pick ten trusted confidants from the superpowered individuals team. They need to be level five superpowered individuals. The adults are going out tomorrow and need someone to help with odd jobs. Pick some clever ones who know how to get things done."

Upon hearing this, Mu Yu's eyes lit up instantly: "Is it the Dragon King?"

It's her.

"Does it have to be level five? How about level six?" Mu Yu rubbed her hands together. "I'm good at reading people and I know how to handle things."

Feng Ming glanced at her and shook his head: "I would like you to go, but the adults said that only level five is allowed."

"All right."

Mu Yu was somewhat disappointed, but then said, "City Lord, if the Dragon King needs any odd jobs in the future, just come to me. I'll even carry manure."

"You can come to me, why should I come to you?"

"Carrying manure is nothing, I can eat shit! City Lord, find me!"

"Laughable, you think you're the only one who can eat shit? I can eat it too, the city lord is looking for me."

Suddenly, everyone in the conference room started arguing about how to do things for Ling Ran, and their words became increasingly outrageous.

Feng Ming was speechless: "Alright, alright, the master doesn't need your help right now. Just do your best. If the master really needs people later, I'll call you out based on your performance. If he doesn't need you, you'll eat shit."

Everyone immediately promised to work hard in the future.

Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, Feng Ming felt very gratified.

He had heard about the infighting at the Far Vision Base before. Fortunately, although the people in the Lost City had different opinions, they were all doing it for the good of the base.

This may also be related to the fact that the Lost City is a small base.

"There's another issue, which is that our medical resources are extremely limited." Feng Ming frowned slightly. "Yesterday's zombie horde injured several thousand people and almost depleted our medical stockpile. So, we need to issue more missions involving medicine recently. Mu Yu, please arrange for the top-ranked superpowered teams to team up and explore the suburbs."

I can't even imagine what it would be like in the city center, where there are millions of people.

In particular, Ningxia is a populous province, with even a third-tier city having a resident population of over seven million.

Q City has a total of eight districts. Excluding the three urban districts with the largest populations, the other districts have at least 500,000 to 600,000 people.

There were lots of supplies inside, but no one could take them.

Previously, the Vision Base had organized several nearby bases to do missions together, including the Lost City.

But to put it simply, their small base had no human rights; many people died while they received little in terms of supplies, so the cooperation was extremely unpleasant.

Moreover, the cooperation is troublesome because everyone is far apart and has to go to another place, and there will be many variables along the way.

Later, Feng Ming was no longer willing to cooperate, as the cost-effectiveness was too low.

Then Feng Ming talked about some things at the base, and then the meeting adjourned. Before the meeting ended, he instructed Mu Yu again to carefully select the people the adults needed, and to bring the selected people to him for inspection first.

On the other side.

Pei Xiu and the others were bored while strolling around the Lost City, and returned around 11 o'clock.

Other bases have newspapers, gossip, and various entertainment activities, but the Lost City has none of that.

There are indeed so-called red-light districts, but they are all privately owned.

For example, when Pei Xiu and his group went shopping, they received many ambiguous glances from women, and Su Yimo and her group also received some ambiguous glances from men.

It might not necessarily be for sale; it could be purely for enjoyment.

"It's really boring here, not as comfortable as Jiang Fan's building," Pei Xiu complained. "Now that you mention it, I kind of miss Jiang Fan. Wait a minute, I suddenly realized, sis, didn't you say Jiang Fan had a system? He's dead, so where did the system go? Is it dead, or will it bind to a new host? Or will it go back to where it came from?"

Before Jiang Fan died, he hadn't realized this problem. He subconsciously thought that Ling Ran would kill the system along with Jiang Fan.

But now he suddenly remembered that his sister had said Jiang Fan had died suddenly, but she hadn't said the system had died suddenly, so the system might still be alive, after all, this system was so powerful.

Qiu Se, Ding Ding, and Liu Ruyan were stunned when they heard this: "System?"

Is this the system they're thinking of?

Pei Xiu looked at them: "Don't you know?"

Three people looked completely bewildered: "I don't know."

How would they know?

"Didn't we say that before?"

"Of course I didn't say that."

They're not important people, so why would they dare ask such questions?

Moreover, they never dared to mention Jiang Fan on their own initiative, for fear that the adults would think they couldn't forget their old feelings and would abandon them, which would be disastrous.

Actually, they should have joined the base by now that they've arrived, but since the adults haven't left yet, they shamelessly moved into the place Feng Ming arranged for them.

Aside from not eating together, they're still the same as before, coming to sit with the adults whenever they have free time. As for training missions and such, they'll have a lifetime to do them after the adults leave, so there's no rush.
