Gu Mingyue quietly observed the confrontation outside the spatial barrier.

The two men who had just asked for protection were killed by the other side as soon as they went out.

The condition of the other nine ordinary people is not optimistic; they seem to be frequently protected.

The superhumans led by Dr. Li were quite good, especially that little girl Du Min, who looked short and only about ten years old, but was very clever.

She teamed up with a boy who was also around ten years old, one using wind magic and the other fire magic, to unleash a fierce fire tornado that burned a large number of enemies to death.

It looks like it's at the early stage of level two. At such a young age, it has such a high level of superpower. When it grows up, it will definitely be a top superpower expert in the apocalypse.

Other adult superhumans were also cooperating with each other, but their coordination was not as perfect as theirs.

The earth-based pit traps enemies, with green, thorny vines emerging from the soil to cling to their bodies, dragging them deep into the sand pit.

Water-based and lightning-based ability users are also annihilating the enemy on a large scale.

A hint of appreciation appeared in Gu Mingyue's eyes; these hospital survivors were quite capable.

Xie Fei and the others discovered that their superpower offensive was greater than the sum of its parts, and they tried to imitate it, almost hitting their own people with their superpowers several times.

However, there were many of them, and Xie Fei's ability level was still in the early stage of level three. A larger tornado appeared and swept Dr. Li and the others into the air.

Just as Dr. Li and others were resigned to the fact that they were about to die.

Gu Mingyue stepped out of Xinghe's spatial shield, had Xinghe bring them back, and put her hand to her mouth, letting out a loud whistle.

Da da da!

The sound of animal hooves pounding came from afar, a vast, dark expanse.

The lead black bear was five meters tall, followed by a group of mutated wild boars, red pandas the size of pandas, raccoons, golden monkeys, cheetahs...

On their backs sat several ordinary people dressed in armor and helmets, carrying machine guns and bows and arrows, with stun forks at their waists.

Gu Mingyue was not about to waste such an opportunity to test the training results of the Mingyue Base members. She had already instructed Li Zhong and the others to track them down ten minutes later using the sensitive noses of the mutated animals.

The Thunder team, which originally had more than 250 members, was almost evenly matched with the 200 mutated animals they had just trained.

However, internal conflicts within the Thunder team intensified, causing them to suffer initial losses. Coupled with artillery fire and the seamless cooperation between Dr. Li and others in their dual-elemental power battle, the battle was fought brilliantly.

In the end, the Thunder team was left with less than fifty people, all of whom were old, weak, sick, or disabled. Their leader, Xie Fei, fled again, abandoning all the Thunder team members.

Another team leader, with a thick beard, had his head chopped off by Gu Mingyue, who then dug out his crystal core.

Before he died, he looked up to the sky and roared, "Ahhh! Xie Fei's grandson, one day you will die a more miserable death than us!"

This was the first time someone had died at her hands, yet cursed others. Gu Mingyue was somewhat unaccustomed to it, but her knife remained steady.

Seeing that there were still more than forty people left, Gu Mingyue thought for a moment and decided not to kill them, but to make the best use of them and make them the vanguard for her expansion of the base.

Regardless of whether these prisoners had combat experience, combat experience in the apocalypse is something learned through life-and-death struggles.

After confiscating the Thunder Team's supplies and carrying away dozens of artillery pieces and rifles, they led the prisoners back to the school near the Bright Moon Base to begin clearing out the humanoid monsters inside.

Finally, after clearing the road from Junyue Mansion to the slaughterhouse, they collected over a hundred survivors and more than three hundred mutated animals along the way before halting their expansion.

In just one month, Mingyue Base has transformed from a small Junyuefu residential community into a large, fully-equipped base.

The expanded map includes two air-raid shelters, a top-tier hospital, a school, a park, two mountains, a major river, ten residential areas, three villa districts, a food street, two commercial streets, a pharmaceutical factory, a food factory, and a light industrial manufacturing workshop.

It almost occupies an entire outer district of Black Tiger City.

The area around the base was filled with signs for the Bright Moon Base and a high-voltage electric fence. Although there were no fighter jets patrolling the sky, seven Level 3 Wing Membrane Monsters, along with a flock of Raven Monsters, flew in the air, vigilantly surveying everything.

This was something Gu Mingyue stumbled upon while expanding her base, and she didn't hesitate to mentally invade it.

Whether they are superhumans or ordinary people, they are always accompanied by several strange beasts. They carry crystal cores and dried meat with them, just like close comrades-in-arms.

They used to envy the soldiers' well-trained military dogs, but now they can all pet animals up close. Although some of them are petting two-meter-tall mutated wild boars, they all feel quite accomplished.

Dare to disobey? Dare to harbor disloyal thoughts?

At best, they will be expelled; at worst, their brains will be cut off and their cores removed on the spot. They will always try to be courteous before resorting to force, both internally and externally!

With the expansion over and no invaders or monsters threatening, Gu Mingyue, fearing that everyone would become lazy and cause trouble, gave them a day off before letting them resume production.

While other bases are still fighting monsters, living in filthy tents, and having to have someone watch their bottoms to make sure a mutated bug doesn't suddenly crawl out when they're taking a dump.

Gu Mingyue's base has already built a safe public toilet next to the mutated S-human tree, ensuring that no insects will invade.

Fifty acres of land planted with wheat, rice, and corn is enough to feed two hundred people.

Hydroponic vegetables were planted in every empty residential building, and Dr. Li became the hospital director at a young age, before he even went bald.

The Mingyue Base is thriving.

Hope Base personnel finally arrived in Black Tiger City with six tanks and one hundred individual rocket launchers, having fought their way through the monster horde.

It's not that we want the base to deliberately delay, but rather that they always put people first. To ensure that every superhuman who goes out can return alive, they have taken full precautions.

If you encounter a monster attack, stop advancing. After entering battle, you need to rest and regroup. Before nightfall, you need to rest and resupply at the Doomsday Inn under the Nirvana Merchant Guild.

"What do you think the Mingyue Base, which saved our Captain Jiang, will be like inside?" a guard asked his teammate, tilting his head.

"I heard it's in a residential area, and we need to transport tanks and rocket launchers to exchange for the captain. It must be a small gathering place with insufficient military force."

"That must be very dilapidated, without any high-tech weapons for protection. It's probably surrounded by level two or three monsters and can only eat, drink, relieve itself, and sleep inside the community."

The man sighed, took out a compressed biscuit from his pocket, took a small bite to satisfy his craving, and then used his hand to catch the crumbs and put them in his mouth. Compressed biscuits are a good thing these days.

The base is constantly battling wits with level-three monsters, leaving no time to resume production and no safe soil to grow food. This carbohydrate-rich food is as precious as gold before the apocalypse.

"Oh, our Captain Jiang must have had a really tough time."

Another shook his head and sighed, swallowed hard, and carefully put away the compressed biscuits that had been distributed when he left. He planned to leave them for Captain Jiang, who was suffering and perhaps emaciated, when they arrived at the Bright Moon Base.
