Chapter 399 It Feels Like a Dream

At Dawn Base, workers are working overtime to collect steel and build villages, awaiting the relocation of Ye Sheng Base.

Meanwhile, at Yesheng Base, all preparations for the relocation are underway.

When the news spread within Yesheng Base that it was to be merged into Dawn Base, the cheers and jubilation were comparable to those during the Lunar New Year, as if they wanted to shake a hole through the sky above Yesheng Base.

"Oh my god, is this the Dawn Base I've been thinking about? We're going to Dawn Base? Am I dreaming?"

"I had heard that Dawn Base was very selective in its recruitment process, and I regretted not studying more back then. I never thought we would be able to go to Dawn Base soon."

"We're so lucky! Out of so many people across the country, we actually have the chance to go to Dawn Base. We'll never have to go hungry again, and we can eat fresh vegetables and fruits. I can't wait! When can we go?"

"Forget about it. I heard they're going in batches. The first batch will send 10,000 people, with priority given to the rich and those with superpowers. We'll have to wait for the later batches."

"I'm so worried that I won't get a turn later on. I wish I could fly there right now."

The entire Yesheng base is now discussing this matter. There is excitement and trepidation. They feel like a big prize has fallen on their heads, but they are also afraid that they cannot handle it.

Yang Wen, who lives in an urban village and struggles to survive with a group of companions, was completely stunned when she heard the news.

"Are we going to Dawn Base? Is Ye Sheng Base going to be merged into Dawn Base?"

She really felt like she was dreaming.

Those few days I spent living at Dawn Base felt like a beautiful fantasy, and even now it still feels unreal.

The Dawn Base is a beautiful pastoral place where you can eat delicious vegetables every day and have a full stomach every day.

Everything wonderful that once existed within the Dawn Base was lost because of her wrong choice.

When it was time to leave Dawn Base, she begged Meng Shiwan to take them in, but Meng Shiwan explicitly refused.

Yes, when she was given the choice, she chose Yesheng Base herself. At that time, she thought Dawn Base was just a small, insignificant base, but she never expected it to be such a paradise.

Before knowing the truth, they complained that Dawn Base was too small; after knowing the truth, they wanted to go there to live a better life. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

Meng Shiwan's act of saving these hundreds of people was already a huge help, so how could they dare to ask for more?

Later, when they arrived at Yesheng Base, it felt like they had returned to hell.

The carefree life of farming, where one is well-fed and clothed, no longer exists; one must make a living in this extremely dangerous and complex environment.

They had several hundred people, but only two were superhumans, making things very difficult.

The daily rations for hundreds of people, where to buy medicine when they get sick, going out to hunt zombies—every step they take is difficult.

In their most difficult times, they would always think of the wonderful life they had at Dawn Base, and then suffer from insomnia night after night, filled with regret.

Choices that determine the future of your life often happen in an instant; a mistake is a mistake.

Yang Wen thought that they, a group of several hundred people, would have to make a living in this difficult way from now on. Maybe they could survive until the end of the world, or maybe they wouldn't. Who knows?

But to my utter surprise, I had another chance to return to Dawn Base.

Yang Wen suddenly remembered that when she begged Meng Shiwan to let them stay, and Meng Shiwan refused, she seemed to have said something.

She said, "The future is still long. Maybe one day you'll come back again after all the twists and turns. Live well."

Yang Wen suddenly stood up, as if she had discovered something extraordinary. "So there was hope all along. There was always hope. I just overlooked it."

After being rejected by Meng Shiwan, Yang Wen thought that no matter which base they went to, they would never have a good life again.

At that time, she thought that Meng Shiwan was trying to comfort her when she said that.

Unexpectedly, what she said was true; after all the twists and turns, she ended up back at Dawn Base in this way.

Did Meng Shiwan already have her eye on Yesheng Base back then, thinking that she would merge with Yesheng Base when she needed it someday?

Isn't that a bit too far ahead?

Seeing her like this, the people around her were even more anxious than she was. "Sister Yang, what hope? Hope is right in front of us. We must seize this opportunity. The first batch to go to Dawn Base will be people with superpowers. Once selected, people with superpowers can bring their relatives and friends along. Whether we can go or not depends on you. You and Sister Lily should sign up quickly. The hopes of hundreds of people are on the two of you."

Yang Wen then came to her senses and called out to the other superhuman, "Lily, hurry up, let's go sign up right away. We can't miss this opportunity, even if it means fighting tooth and nail, we have to go to Dawn Base."

“Okay, let’s go register now.” Lily excitedly ran outside.

They went to the street and headed to the registration point.

There were many people at the registration point, who had obviously come after hearing the news.

A loudspeaker outside kept announcing, "The first batch is for people with superpowers. They need to go to Dawn Base to build villages and prepare for those who come later. Those who are not people with superpowers should not queue up. They will be tested later. Those who are not people with superpowers will not be allowed to pass. Don't worry. Everyone is involved in this relocation. No one will be left behind. Be patient and don't cause trouble."

Despite repeated announcements over a loudspeaker, many onlookers remained eager to try their luck and sneak in, driving them to desperation.

"Superpowered individuals are very rare. I don't know any superpowered individuals, and no one will take me under their wing. Should I join the queue? What if the equipment breaks down and I happen to sneak into the first batch?"

"Stop dreaming. Didn't you see they were constantly kicking people out? Those are people who think like you. In fact, you might as well give the superhuman some benefits and ask them to mentor you."

"Superpowered people are all arrogant. Even if we offer them benefits, they might not pay us any attention."

Even though they were so anxious they were stamping their feet, there was nothing they could do.

Yang Wen and Lili waited anxiously in line, then had their blood tested. Finally, the staff gave them tags and told them to "bring their relatives to the square to gather, and people will be sent over one after another."

Yang Wen was flattered and surprised that she could actually go to the Dawn Base. She quickly thanked them and then went back with Lily to inform the others and pack their things to prepare for departure.

But when he saw his hundreds of companions, he became worried again.

Can the two of them manage to lead several hundred people there?

Stop preventing them from bringing any more. Some people want to stay at Ye Sheng Base, and then it will be a problem who stays and who leaves first.

They had all been waiting for this day for far too long.
