Chapter 649 Rainbow Base

The curtain was lifted, and the seven people carefully walked in.

As soon as you enter, you feel like you're in two different worlds inside and outside the curtains. Even though there's no underfloor heating or air conditioning, it's still incredibly warm.

Upon closer inspection, several grills were set up around the area.

But even if you have an oven, it probably won't be very effective in temperatures tens of degrees below zero, right?

The seven were very puzzled, but dared not ask.

The shelter, free from wind and snow and warm, made them much more comfortable. Their skin, which had been exposed for so long, was finally starting to feel again.

Beyond the warmth, the aroma of rice gradually became clearer. Not far away, on the ground, were two large iron basins with some rice grains still remaining. Considering the presence of a pig and a dog nearby, it wasn't hard to guess that these two large iron basins belonged to them.

Do pigs and dogs use such large iron basins?

And what about the remaining grains of rice? Aren't you going to lick them clean?

Do you understand the saying "every grain is hard-earned"?

After briefly glancing around, Jing Ge looked at the handsome man who was watching them.

The man was wearing a gray sweater, had short, choppy hair, and distinct facial features. He wore gold-rimmed glasses on his high-bridged nose and held a steaming glass of milk in his hand.

He took a sip of milk and asked, "Where are you all from?"

Jing Ge honestly replied, "We came from Rainbow Base. Did you come from the Lost City?"

The closest city to their Rainbow Base, and the one coming from this direction, should be the Lost City.

I guess so.

Gu Zijing replied casually, then asked him, "Where is Rainbow Base located? Are we still in Beishi from where we are now?"

"It's gone. This place is now part of Mingyang City. As for Rainbow Base, it's a county under Mingyang City, named Rainbow County, hence the name Rainbow Base."

Pei Xiu, who was eating, turned around and asked, "How many people are there in your base?"

Listening to their conversation, Jing Ge seemed to want to go to Rainbow Base, and he secretly looked forward to it.

He suppressed his expectations and quickly replied, "Although our Rainbow Base is located in the county, there are still quite a lot of people there. Almost all the survivors in Mingyang City are at the Rainbow Base, which is about 200,000 people."

"As expected of a populous province, 200,000 survivors is indeed a lot compared to other cities," Chen Le said, turning around at this moment.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xiu speculated, "Perhaps it's because the people here are generally more robust and strong? That's why their survival skills are greatly enhanced?"

As a native of the South, Pei Xiu's impression of people from the three northern provinces was that they were tall and strong; before the apocalypse, he could take on two of them with one punch.

"It's not impossible."

Gu Zijing was about to ask a couple more questions when he heard a "gurgling" sound. He then saw the people behind Brother Jing clutching their stomachs, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Jing Ge said apologetically, "I'm sorry, we encountered some danger these past few days, and we lost all our food."

"It's alright." Gu Zijing raised her chin. "There are snacks on the table, you can eat them."

Out of the corner of his eye, Jing Ge saw food packaging bags. He didn't dare to look at them, wanting to go and eat them immediately, but he still retained his rationality: "How could I do that?"

"Eat up, you're not just here for free. We might need your help later."

"Thank you very much."

Jing Ge could no longer refuse.

The group of seven immediately squatted down in front of the coffee table, not daring to sit on the sofa or the small stools, and picked out some not-so-rare but filling foods to eat.

I didn't dare to eat too much; I ate a little, and stopped when I felt three or four times full.

After we finished eating, they had almost finished eating as well.

The bespectacled man who had been talking to them earlier came over, sat down on the sofa, and said, "Please sit down, there's no need to be so formal."
