Chapter 650 Just Taking a Walk

That's what they said, but only Jing Ge sat on the small stool. The other six people stood behind Jing Ge, looking timid and hesitant.

Gu Zijing was somewhat helpless, but she didn't say much. Instead, she looked at Brother Jing and introduced herself, "My name is Gu Zijing. How shall we address you?"

Through Jing Ge's introduction, Gu Zijing and the others learned the names and situations of the other people.

Jing Ge's real name is Wei Jing. He is a local. After the apocalypse, he awakened his superpowers and formed a team with his friends to escape with his family. Later, he joined a base and moved around to more than ten bases of varying sizes in Mingyang City before finally merging or being absorbed into one base.

This base is called Rainbow Base.

Wei Jing has a ten-man squad. They came out this time because they heard that there were mutated beasts outside and that the base had a mission to kill them.

Who would have thought that they would encounter a level six mutated beast? They were no match for it at all. Three team members died, and the group of seven barely managed to escape.

They lost the food, their team members died, they were seriously injured, and most importantly, they didn't even kill the mutated beast. It was an absolute disaster.

Fearing they would encounter mutated beasts if they returned the way they came, they kept going further and further away, and soon they would be leaving Mingyang City.

After explaining their situation, Wei Jing asked Gu Zijing, "Boss Gu, are you also out here on a base mission?"

"No." Gu Zijing's lips curled slightly, with an ambiguous smile: "My husband wanted to travel around the three northern provinces, so we came out for a stroll."

ah?

Travel?

Just taking a casual stroll?

What kind of international joke is this?

The seven people fell silent for a moment.

Then, thinking about where he was, the way these people dressed and their demeanor, and the fat pigs and dogs, he suddenly realized that this outrageous, boastful statement actually seemed to be true.

This group of people must genuinely have the means to travel freely and explore the post-apocalyptic world.

Upon learning the truth, the seven fell even more silent.

We're all human, so why is there such a huge difference?

Wei Jing was silent for a moment before asking, "Big brothers, are you still planning to continue north to the other two provinces?"

"Is it not allowed?"

“It might not be possible.” Wei Jing shook his head and said, “As far as I know, apart from Ning Province, there are probably not many people left in the next two provinces.”

"How could this be?"

Pei Xiu carried two plates of fruit slices to the table, sat down next to Gu Zijing, and then told Wei Jing and the others, "Eat whatever you like."

Wei Jing struggled to look away from the fruit and explained, "Because it gets colder as the weather goes on, people from the other two provinces should have already moved to Ning Province. Not to mention them, our Rainbow Base, including the Lost City where you guys are, should also be gradually moving towards the capital."

He realized that these big shots were definitely not from the Lost City; they must have just been passing through, otherwise they would have known about these things.

Mei Guangtao, standing behind Wei Jing, chimed in, "Brother Jing is right. The main problem is that we don't have any other seasons here except winter. Putting aside everything else, just look at crops. Without wood-type ability users, we simply can't grow them. And if we can't produce them, we'll eventually run out of resources."

It's thanks to the fact that the three northern provinces are not only populous provinces but also major grain-producing provinces that they were able to hold out for so long.

Of course, even more people died.

Their Rainbow Base sounds like it has 200,000 people, which is a lot, but in reality, it consists of survivors from two or three surrounding cities. That means out of four or five million people, only a small number have survived.
