Just as they were about to leave, a group of ragged men and women blocked the doorway.

Gu Mingyue recognized them as survivors she had taken in the day before yesterday and asked, "Why aren't you training? What are you doing blocking this way?"

The man in the lead glanced at Gu Mingyue with some fear, then mustered his courage and revealed their intentions.

“Boss, we are very grateful for your help the day before yesterday, but we are a group of elderly, weak and disabled people without any superpowers. Staying in your base will only cause you trouble.”

Gu Mingyue received this group of people late, and yesterday she was busy taking care of the people at the Hope Base, so she hadn't had time to test them yet. Many of them failed the loyalty test.

Gu Mingyue narrowed her amber eyes and glanced at Xu Lanyue and the others' tanks, thus understanding the thoughts of these survivors.

"You want to go to Hope Base?" Gu Mingyue asked directly.

The dozen or so people kept their heads down and didn't answer.

Although it had only been two days, they had already learned about the female boss's ruthless actions in the apocalypse.

That's a ruthless person who even eight-year-old children have to participate in the battle.

She doesn't distinguish between age and gender.

Although they had an endless supply of food and clothing, they were made to start training on the very second day.

They trembled at the sight of those mutated, tall, and ferocious animals, knowing they would have to lead these giants to fight against the terrifying humanoid monsters outside.

Yang Zhong is usually easy to talk to, but when it comes to instructing them on how to train mutated animals, he becomes unusually strict.

Another short, one-eyed boy was even more difficult to talk to.

Zhang Yi is already over fifty years old, with gray hair, and he still has to listen to a boy who has only lived a fraction of his life because he can't train a mutated tabby cat.

Before the apocalypse, he was the head of the family. Apart from his eldest son, even his wife couldn't raise her voice to him.

When he was young, if he got angry, he would overturn the dining table, and no one in the family dared to say a word to him.

Now it's the end of the world, his whole family is dead, and he's just an old man with no children to support him. He can only be lectured by an eight-year-old child.

This Bright Moon Base is simply trampling on his self-esteem!

However, it's not surprising that the Bright Moon Base doesn't respect the elderly and care for the young, because the Bright Moon Base is run by women, and many things have long been reversed.

Until yesterday, I saw the people from Hope Base arriving in tanks, dressed in well-fitting dark green combat uniforms.

He knew their opportunity had arrived; this powerful, high-tech base was the place they should be going.

Moreover, since it's a male-run place, they'd definitely treat elderly men like him better.

"Hehe, since that's the case, then you can ask Captain Jiang. You can go to Hope Base, but you must settle all your food and lodging expenses for the next few days."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Yi and the others secretly whispered among themselves.

Two days ago, when they saw the sign for the Bright Moon Base, they took precautions and hid some supplies before entering the base. Now they are discussing and revealing the location where the supplies were buried.

These survivors were all prominent figures before the apocalypse, and they had hidden a lot of gold bars and weapons.

Gu Mingyue accepted them all with a cold smile.

This group was lucky; if Gu Mingyue hadn't wanted to leave a bad impression on the people at Hope Base, she might have also found an opportunity to eliminate this group with the lowest loyalty.

Xu Lanyue and the others felt genuinely sorry for the group when they saw them about to enter their Hope Base.

“Our base has much worse living conditions than this place. You really shouldn’t have come with us.”

Zhang Yi and the others were all cunning and treacherous, and they thought that this group of people didn't want to offend Gu Mingyue and were lying to them.

"Deputy Captain Xu, don't lie to us. We all know that the Hope Bases in various provinces were approved for construction long before the apocalypse. The weapons and equipment there are excellent, and the level of security is definitely much higher than that of the Bright Moon Base."

"We're not lying to you. Ordinary people like you can only sleep in the outer city and eat insects..."

Gu Mingyue stepped forward to stop Xu Lanyue from offering her advice.

"Deputy Captain Xu, stop talking. I have already expelled them from the territory of the Bright Moon Base and will never accept them back."

"Now, their only options are to go to Hope Base or sleep outside and wander among monsters to survive."

Xu Lanyue looked at Zhang Yi and the others with their furrowed brows and shook her head.

"Forget it, you'll regret it when you get there."

If she hadn't served in the military and harbored a dream of saving the world, she would definitely have stayed at the Bright Moon Base.

This group of people are living in a golden nest but don't know it. They'll regret it once they move into the tent nest.

Zhang Yi and the others were very happy. Gu Mingyue let them leave, and they were even happier to go to Hope Base soon. Seeing the tanks they were driving gave them a deeper sense of security.

At least there's hope for the base, which was guarded by soldiers before the apocalypse. Once they get there, the old, weak, sick, and disabled can regain their human rights and receive better protection and resettlement.

The departure of this group served as a wake-up call for Gu Mingyue.

She summoned Wei Jianguo and Su Xiaoyu and ordered them not to take in any survivors they encountered during her absence.

Although, apart from Zhang Yi and others, the loyalty of the other base members is currently within acceptable limits.

However, when she leaves, no one is allowed to leave the Bright Moon Base without a valid reason; those who disobey will be imprisoned on the spot until she returns to make a decision.

After everything was arranged, Gu Mingyue took the little turtle and got into the RV that Xinghe had taken out of his space.

She chained the Level 3 winged monster to the back of the vehicle, where it flew in the air. When it got tired, it would stop on the roof of the RV to rest.

It is still unknown how many cruel experiments it will be subjected to.

Perhaps because of this level-three winged membranous monster, the journey Jiang Shenglin took back to Hope Base was very quiet, with almost no attacks from other humanoid monsters.

A level-two humanoid monster was wandering on the highway when it saw a convoy of green tanks and heavy trucks. Just as it was about to bar its fangs and pounce, it was about to attack.

Then, from the rear of the convoy, came the shouts of a high-level monster to retreat.

Xinghe drove quietly ahead.

Gu Mingyue sat leisurely in the RV and took out grilled cold noodles, grilled gluten, grilled beef tendon, jianbing guozi (Chinese crepe), rice noodle rolls, shrimp dumplings, Chongqing noodles, and bibimbap from her storage space and enjoyed them.

She was also holding a blueberry milkshake and iced lemonade in her hand.

My eyes looked out the window at the desolate landscape, which consisted only of rugged yellow earth mountain roads.

Upon seeing the humanoid monster approaching, it controlled the Level 3 Winged Membrane Monster to emit a warning sound.

As night fell, Xu Lanyue and the others dared not camp in the open. Following the map of the inn that Zhou Yanli had given to the Hope Base, they found a county town.

On the edge of the county town stands a gleaming, high-rise hotel. Its exterior walls are reinforced with gold, extending all the way to the 33rd floor, making it appear incredibly sturdy from the outside.

The words "Doomsday Hotel" are displayed on the golden gate.

Such a powerful metal wall could not have been achieved by anyone else without Zhou Yanli, the healer who amplifies power.

"Welcome to the Doomsday Hotel!" Two beautiful women in cheongsams greeted guests with standard smiles at the entrance.
