Chapter 237 The more I listen, the less reliable it seems.

Meng Shiwan asked, "Tell me, why did you ask for help?"

Yang Wen sat down beside them and explained, "It's like this. With the continuous acid rain these past few days, I've noticed that the walls on the first floor have been constantly soaked in acid rain, and the corrosion is severe. This building is now a dangerous structure. As time goes on, it will continue to erode in the acid rain. If it collapses one day, none of the people living here will be able to escape."

I was thinking of evacuating, whether to a seed base or another large base. It's better than staying here, sleeping uneasy every night, constantly worrying that the building will collapse and I might be buried inside one day.

The person who was struck by lightning just now was my boyfriend, Li Changrui. He firmly believes that the building's construction quality couldn't be that poor; only the outer layer of the walls was corroded, the steel reinforcement inside wouldn't be damaged, and the building wouldn't collapse.

We had a disagreement, which is why they were so rude to you just now. I apologize on their behalf.

Meng Shiwan's gaze fell on Yang Wen. She was very thin, with clearly visible cheekbones. She had a neat and sharp appearance, but her temperament was rather reserved.

"So what are your demands now?"

This kind of internal conflict is the most troublesome. Some people say they want to leave, some say they don't want to leave, and after arguing for a while, it's a waste of time and there's no guarantee of getting any results.

Meng Shiwan now wants to have people farm the land, but she doesn't want to waste time on such things.

In fact, Yang Wen's consideration was very necessary. In the later stages of acid rain, acid rain erodes the ground, causing corrosion and damage to walls, foundations, soil, and roads to a certain extent, resulting in the collapse of many high-rise buildings.

Before the apocalypse, Water City was a well-known and prosperous city in the country, with towering buildings in the city center and an extremely high risk factor.

Even if this building survives the acid rain, it will still be vulnerable if other tall buildings in the surrounding area collapse and crush it.

Unfortunately, during acid rain season, ordinary people dare not go out at all; running into the acid rain would also mean certain death.

Living here is like gambling with your life, gambling on whether this building will collapse, gambling on whether the surrounding buildings will collapse.

Yang Wen said earnestly, "I would like to know if your base can accept us, and if so, can the survivors here go to your base?"

Meng Shiwan asked, "But there are people here who don't want to leave."

Yang Wen pursed her lips. "Then I'll take those who want to leave with me. In any case, I want to leave this place and get a good night's sleep."

Yang Wen's decisiveness, consideration for the survivors, and meticulousness were the main reasons why she received the most votes in the base commander election.

Meng Shiwan sat up straight. "Then let me introduce the situation at my base. Whether you want to come or not is up to you."

The base is located on a mountaintop at the border of Water City and Sea City. It currently has a population of seven or eight hundred, with abundant supplies, so there's no need to worry about food or clothing shortages for a long time. Security is also not a concern; it's like a fortress.

"We can accept you. If you'd like to come, pack your things and come up the mountain with me."

After she finished her introduction, the room fell silent, and everyone fell silent.

"On the mountain, there are seven or eight hundred people, with abundant supplies, like a fortress?"

Yang Wen pondered these words, feeling that the more she thought about them, the more something seemed off.

The base located on the mountain, is it inside a cave?

Seven or eight hundred people, isn't that the same size as her current base?

It's understandable that there are plenty of supplies. Yang Wen felt that her base also had a good supply of supplies, and there would be no shortage of food in the short term.

After all, compared to a large base, seven or eight hundred people really can't eat much.

Like a fortress? How fortress-like? If it were hidden in a cave, easy to defend and difficult to attack, it would indeed be quite a fortress.

Yang Wen was now in a bit of a dilemma. Could this Dawn Base really work?

We no longer need to live in the dilapidated houses; we can go directly up the mountain with them.

"Pfft..." Ye Sangyu couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Sister, if you introduce your base like that, do you really think anyone will want to go with you?"

Meng Shiwan shrugged. "That's just how it is."

Ye Sangyu coughed lightly, "Then let me reintroduce it to you. Listen carefully, Dawn Base is an incredibly awesome base. Although it's located in the mountains, the base commander is terrifyingly powerful, and there are quite a few superhumans stationed there."

Although there are only seven or eight hundred people in the base, each of them is an elite talent, skilled in everything, and comes from a reclusive, high-ranking family..."

Upon hearing this introduction, Yang Wen's eyes gradually lit up. If that's the case, it doesn't matter if there are fewer people, as long as they are capable, it's just as good.

If there are too many people going to the seed base, there won't be enough resources to allocate, and survival will be difficult. As long as the small base is safe enough and has plenty of supplies, it seems to be just as good.

Just as she was making her plans, Meng Shiwan poured a bucket of cold water over her head.

She interrupted Ye Sangyu, "Are you talking about my base? There are no elite talents in my base, they're all farmers."

"Uh~" Ye Sangyu's words caught in her throat, utterly astonished. "Farming? My cousin always says how great your base is, shouldn't it be full of elite talents to deserve such praise? And you're telling me it's for farming?"

Ye Sangyu rubbed her head. "Wait a minute, let me sort this out. A small base consisting of seven or eight hundred ordinary people, living on a mountaintop? No wonder my uncle keeps cursing and saying that my cousin is a caveman on the mountain. A real caveman?"

Meng Shiwan: ...

"Our farming at the base is simple, but it's not as low-class as you make it out to be, okay?"

Ye Sangyu was also stunned. "I didn't mean that farming is bad. It's just that in the current situation, there's no land to farm."

Meng Shiwan corrected her, "Who said there's no land to farm? My base has land to farm."

"I understand, sister, I understand. Please give me some time to process this."

Ye Sangyu's previous illusions about the reclusive elite family of Dawn Base have collapsed, and her mind is a bit of a mess right now.

What exactly is going on with this Dawn Base?

If we're talking about farming, their Yesheng base also has land to cultivate. They can set up an experimental plot, install artificial sun lamps, control the room temperature, and barely manage to grow some relatively easy-to-grow vegetables, though they don't taste very good.

Because the cost of farming in this way is too high, only the top people in the base can afford to eat the vegetables; those who are not so good are not qualified.

Every large base will have some of these.

So when Meng Shiwan said there was land to cultivate, this was the first situation Ye Sangyu thought of.

There are no elite talents, just ordinary people living on the mountaintop, growing some indoor vegetables. This situation makes Yang Wen panic, let alone her.

This Dawn Base is truly supported entirely by Meng Shiwan's incredible strength.

Ye Sangyu was at a loss for words. She really wanted to go and see what was going on at the Dawn Base.

Yang Wen became increasingly anxious as she listened. How come it seemed that this Dawn Base was not as good as her own base?

The more I listen, the less reliable it seems.
