Chapter 238 The world has changed, and so have people.

Fortunately, she was quick-witted and caught another important piece of information: "You're not from the same base, are you?"

Ye Sangyu, being a chatterbox, explained, "No, we're from Ye Sheng Base, just visiting Dawn Base."

Yang Wen's eyes lit up when she heard about Ye Sheng's base.

"So, is your base still accepting people?"

She had heard about Ye Sheng Base online; it was a private base, quite large, with about 100,000 people.

Furthermore, people online say that the managers of Yesheng Base are very humane. While the treatment may not be as good as other bases, the atmosphere at Yesheng Base is quite good, and the security management is also acceptable.

In other words, it's rare that the managers of the Yesheng base treat survivors as human beings.

Dawn Base is unreliable, but Ye Sheng Base is quite reliable.

Ye Sangyu was stunned. Wasn't this Dawn Base asking for people? Why were they asking about their Ye Sheng Base? This was really bad.

She quickly waved her hand, "You should reconsider Dawn Base."

Meng Shiwan didn't mind. "I won't force you. If you want to go to Ye Sheng's base, then go to Ye Sheng's base. They can take you with them when they go back."

As Meng Shiwan spoke, a hint of amusement flashed between her brows, "But once you decide to go to Ye Sheng's base, don't go back on your word. If you want to come to my Dawn Base again, I won't accept you."

No one paid any attention to her meaningful emphasis at that moment.

Ye Sangyu was a little embarrassed. "Sister, this isn't right. Our base doesn't need any more people. How can we steal the survivors you found?"

Meng Shiwan didn't take it seriously. "There are probably only a few people willing to go with her. My base is short-staffed, but not in dire need. You can't force these things."

"Since we've run into them, and they want to join Ye Sheng's base, you can take them if you want, otherwise we'll leave now."

Yang Wen said earnestly, "There are a total of seven ability users in our base. I'm not sure if they will all come with me, but I am a water-based ability user, so I will definitely come."

Even for large bases, people with superpowers are a scarce resource.

The more superhumans there are, the stronger the base will become.

Now that they've encountered these people, they can't just ignore them, so Ye Sangyu agreed, "Alright, go and handle it, then come with us."

Yang Wen breathed a sigh of relief after finding new homes for herself and the survivors.

Going to Yesheng Base is a decent fallback option.

"Come upstairs with me."

Yang Wen led the way with a flashlight, going up the stairs to the third floor.

As soon as they stepped out of the third floor, hundreds of eyes fell on them.

Meng Shiwan glanced around; the third floor was quite empty, probably where their base usually gathered for activities.

Hundreds of people are now standing in the hall, their eyes fixed on them, a mixture of emotions.

The scene was silent, the atmosphere eerie and oppressive.

Li Changrui stood at the front of the crowd, his clean-washed head sporting a frizzy, lightning-struck hairstyle, a smug smile on his face, as if he had achieved some kind of silent victory.

Clearly, he had already gathered everyone together and said something before they came up.

Ye Sangyu grinned, looking disgusted. "Is this your boyfriend?"

Yang Wen nodded.

Ye Sangyu couldn't understand, "Why would a perfectly good girl like you fall for something like this? Did you have a problem with your eyes when you were looking for a boyfriend?"

Yang Wen smiled bitterly, "Yes, I was blind back then."

Before the apocalypse, she and Li Changrui had walked a long road together, from the university campus to their work, and then to the apocalypse.

It seems their relationship is coming to an end.

As times change, people change along with them.

Before the apocalypse, people abide by public order and good customs. Everyone goes to school, falls in love, gets married, and has children in an orderly manner under social rules.

After the apocalypse, public order and good customs disappeared, social rules changed, and humanity, which had been bound by invisible rules for a long time, seemed like a caged beast breaking free of its cage, revealing its true nature.

Some people hide away out of cowardice, while others boldly challenge the limits of human nature.

What were once constraints have become an aid in challenging human nature.

The way Li Changrui looked at Yang Wen wasn't like he was looking at his girlfriend; it was full of smugness and a sense of challenge.

"Base Commander, I've already asked them for you. They don't want to move. Are you leaving alone, or should we go with the majority and continue to manage our base well together?"

Yang Wen said coldly, "Really? They actively expressed that they didn't want to leave here? Did you threaten them and force them to shut up? Don't think I don't know what you've been doing lately."

Ye Sangyu smacked her lips. "Humph, they're arguing again. It'll probably take a while to decide. Let's find a place to sit down first."

Lin Jingsong and his two companions, being quite perceptive, brought over a few chairs and sat down to watch them argue, like bystanders.

Meng Shiwan took out a sunflower she had harvested earlier from her spatial storage. It was a large, round sunflower. She held it in her hand, plucked a seed from it, put it in her mouth, and cracked it open, making a soft cracking sound.

Ye Sangyu looked in the direction of the sound, and when she saw a round sunflower head, her eyes widened and almost popped out of their sockets.

She looked at me like a little child, pleading, "Sister, please give me some."

She wasn't unfamiliar with sunflower seeds, but she had never tasted such a large, plump, fresh sunflower head.

Meng Shiwan took out another one and stuffed it into her hand.

"Thank you, sister." Ye Sangyu hugged the sunflower, which was almost bigger than her head, and tapped it one by one like a little hamster.

Curious, she asked in a low voice, "Sister, where did you get such fresh sunflowers?"

Meng Shiwan: "I planted them."

Ye Sangyu: "Planted before the apocalypse?"

Meng Shiwan: "They were grown at my base."

Ye Sangyu: !!!

She turned to look at Meng Shiwan, somewhat incredulous, "Sunflowers can be grown in an indoor greenhouse? And they're so plump?"

Meng Shiwan cracked sunflower seeds and said, "Who told you I grew them indoors? I grew them outdoors."

Ye Sangyu didn't believe it. "Where did you grow them? You can't grow sunflowers in this awful weather, can you?"

Sunflowers love sunlight, but where can we find sunlight now?

There is sun during extremely hot weather, but even sunflowers couldn't withstand that kind of sun.

She suddenly realized, "Was it caused by wood-type supernatural abilities?"

This is the only possibility; the wood-type ability triggering it makes sense.

Meng Shiwan thought for a moment, "I guess so."

The three people next to them were also staring longingly at the sunflowers in the two women's hands. Meng Shiwan took out three more and handed them to them to eat.

Five people, each holding a large plate of sunflowers, sat on the side making little noises like a bunch of mice.

They managed to turn a tense and serious atmosphere into something somewhat comical.

The eyes of hundreds of people were fixed on the sunflowers in their hands, longingly watching, accompanied by the sound of them secretly swallowing their saliva.

Since the apocalypse, where have they seen fresh fruits and vegetables? Now that they see such fresh sunflowers, they really want to eat them.

You'll only realize how much you crave fresh fruits and vegetables if you don't eat them for a long time—far more than meat.

Meng Shiwan waved her hand, "You guys do your thing, don't worry about us."

Yang Wen fell silent. Right now, the allure of the sunflowers was even greater than the temptation of arguing and separating.

The attention of hundreds of people was all on the sunflowers in their hands.
