If Xia Ruanruan and his team's ability to retrieve the metal from the warehouse from the mutant wolves on the first day had amazed and incredulous everyone, then by the second day, when they, with the help of the mutant wild boars, transported two textile production lines, their astonishment had turned to awe, leaving them speechless. By the third day, as Xia Ruanruan and his team, accompanied by a pack of mutant lions, thundered towards the Survival Base City, the initial amazement of Old Chen and the others in the Foreign Trade Department had morphed into a numb composure. They were even making bets with their colleagues on whether Xia Ruanruan and his team could complete another high-level mission on the fourth day.

What a pity...

After completing three tasks, the points were accumulated, and she could even buy several baskets of other supplies in the survival base. Xia Runrun stopped and no longer planned to do more tasks.

This incident also shocked the entire survival base. Even the most powerful leaders in the base cast their gazes at Xia Ruanruan and her group. From the second night on, many of them even wanted Xia Ruanruan and her group to stay in the survival base. The way these leaders looked at Xiaolu was truly gleaming with green!

Some people even contacted Xiaolu secretly, hoping that this big green-feathered parrot would defect from Xia Ruanruan and join the Longquan Survival Base.

A mutant parrot that is able to master other 'animal languages' and communicate with humans at the same time is even more powerful than hundreds of ferocious mutant beasts!

However, knowing the specific situation of the mission and being threatened, Parrot not only did not dare to listen to others and join the Longquan Survival Base, but also actively reported to Xia Ruanruan the "spies" hiding in the base hotel.

Pretending to be a hotel waiter, but actually a spy for the base who was digging for birds, the staff of the relevant departments of the base said: "..."

Xia Ruanruan: "..."

Staff: "Haha, hahaha... I just want to see how you raise your birds. Hahaha, hahaha."

Yang Fan: I believed your lies!

"It seems we can't stay at the Rural Survival Base any longer. Why don't we exchange our things over the next two days and leave? Tonight, we'll pack our bags, buy what we need, and tomorrow we'll go to the Foreign Trade Department to exchange our things. The day after tomorrow morning, we'll leave the Survival Base and head back to the shelter!" Yang Fan shook his head helplessly as he watched the staff members hurriedly leave. This person was already the seventh in the past three days. If this continued, even if they were staying in the base's most upscale hotel, they would feel completely uncomfortable.

"Okay. Then let's leave the day after tomorrow morning." Xia Runrun nodded and agreed to the decision.

If she was really a little girl from this world, not bound by the illustrated book, and stayed in the Longquan Survival Base with the green-feathered parrot and other survivors in the shelter, it would naturally be a win-win situation.

However, she was bound by the illustrated guide and needed to build Zootopia to restore her original state, so naturally, she couldn't continue living in the Longquan Survival Base. Rather than being harassed by the other party, it would be better to leave early to avoid any unexpected conflicts.

The other survivors in the team nodded in agreement.

Although many people in the survival base have tried to contact them recently, asking them to stay and serve the base to weather the natural disaster, they are self-aware. Not to mention that their families are still in the shelter, waiting for them to return, they know their own abilities, and the survival base does not want ordinary people like them.

If they really relied on the ability of the green-haired parrot to stay, and the parrot itself followed the little girl back to the shelter, let alone living like an ordinary person in the survival base, I am afraid that someone in the base would ostracize them and cause trouble for them when they return.

…

Since Xia Ruanruan and her group were leaving, naturally, they couldn't hide it from Lao Chen and the others in the Foreign Trade Department. Even though Lao Chen and the base leaders tried their best to persuade them to stay, they couldn't shake Xia Ruanruan and the others' determination to leave.

In the end, whether it was Lao Chen or the leaders in the base, they could only sigh and pack up and deliver the supplies that Xia Ruanruan and others had exchanged for points, and watched the mutant dogs such as Dahei carry the things on their backs and take them back to the hotel.

Solar generators, fully automatic vermicelli processing machines, and other various grains and supplies suitable for planting in the shelter, etc. Among them, toothbrushes, toothpaste, oil, salt, and clothes alone filled up two small hills, and it took more than a dozen mutant dogs to carry these supplies away.

The team of more than 60 mutant dogs walking on the road was already very eye-catching, and what was more, these mutant dogs were carrying mountains of supplies on their backs, which made people even more unable to take their eyes off them, especially the survivors walking on the street. They couldn't help but turn their heads to look back. Several people even bumped into others because they were paying too much attention, causing others to roll their eyes at them.

"Wow! These people actually exchanged for so many supplies. How many points would it take to get so many supplies?! I'm so envious!"

"Hey! Who says it's not true?! But our survival base has been established for over three years now. Throughout all these years, I've only seen this one team capable of completing a high-level mission and returning on the same day."

"Tsk! Every time I complete a high-level mission, it's like going on a trip, one a day. I even doubt that if the high-level mission location wasn't so far away from the survival base, I could complete several in one night! One in the morning, one in the afternoon, and even one in the evening!"

"No way, is it really as powerful as you say?"

Some people in the base brag about it, but naturally there are also people who don't believe it. After all, there are tens of millions of people in the entire survival base, and not everyone can see the scene of Master and others coming back every time.

However, this sound was soon drowned out by other sounds.

"Tsk! If this team isn't that strong, how could they possibly complete a high-level mission every day? And how could they possibly earn points to exchange for so many supplies?" Someone rolled his eyes and said dissatisfiedly.

"Besides, I just looked carefully... these people all came from the direction of the Foreign Trade Department, which means they're not from our base. Since they're not from our survival base, they definitely didn't have any original points. The team has only appeared in the past few days, and they were able to exchange for so many supplies. Doesn't that mean something?"

The news that the super team did not belong to the Longquan Survival Base was even more worrying to the survivors than the news that there was a team that could complete a high-level task every day. They widened their eyes, surrounded the man, and asked for relevant information.

As a member of the survival base, everyone naturally wants to make their survival base better and better. A strong team can not only bring them absolute confidence, but also the sense of security that hangs over their heads, which is what people today pursue most.

Everyone wants the place where they live to be safer and safer, rather than living in the basement like a rat every day.

As they talked, the faces of this group of people were filled with reluctance, and some even started to discuss why the base leaders did not come forward to keep these people?

The discussion among the group of people here became more and more heated, while Xia Ruanruan and others followed the mutant dogs and disappeared to the end of the street. They had heard too many rumors about them in the base in recent days, but no matter what, these words could not shake them at all.

only……

In a corner that Xia Runrun and others couldn't see, a middle-aged couple who looked to be around forty or fifty years old had frowns on their faces and looked very ugly.

Xia Runrun and the others had never concealed their actions at the base. During these two days, the Chu couple not only found out where they lived, but also the number of team members and mutant beasts. However, the couple had never imagined that Chu Hang and his group were planning to leave the base in these two days.

"Judging from their actions, they will probably leave the base tomorrow morning. Let's go find him tonight!" Father Chu frowned, his eyes full of calculation.

"Do you think we should follow him, or let him leave some supplies for us? Or... let him stay in the survival base directly? But I'm worried that the child won't agree..." Chu's mother spoke cautiously. In fact, she and her husband had been thinking about this matter every day in the past two days.

Before the virus outbreak, the couple's eldest son was not on good terms with them, and after the outbreak, they handed him over to an underground laboratory. They thought that their relationship was shallow and they would never see each other again in this life, but they did not expect that the other party would appear in front of them in this way.

"If we hadn't paid to raise him, how would he have been able to go to college? Besides, we don't want to do that lab thing either. Wouldn't that mean we're at our wit's end? In a family, someone has to make sacrifices."

"The best thing about going to see him this time is that we can ask them to take us back with them. Their team is so powerful that the mutant beast Xiongshou poses no threat at all. We can definitely find a place to live outside that is much better than the basement. Besides, they have exchanged so many supplies, so there will be no problem in living... At worst, we can ask him to give us a batch of points and supplies and find a good place to live in the base." Father Chu had already planned it in his mind. Since Chu Hang and his group would come to Longquan Survival Base to trade, it meant that the other party's current residence must be the closest to Longquan Survival Base.

Since there are no other survival bases around to trade with, the other party will definitely come to the base frequently!

In this way, as long as the other party gives him some points or supplies every year, the couple can live a good life.

The couple had a very good plan in mind. They brushed off the dust left on their bodies from work, straightened their clothes, and immediately went to the hotel where Xia Runrun's team was staying.

However……

A thin figure followed closely behind.

…………

Hotel restaurant.

"Eat, eat more! We won't be able to eat such delicious food when we return to the shelter!"

The shelter has extremely high safety performance because of Xia Ruanruan's presence, but the food served on weekdays is far inferior to that of the survival base. In particular, the chef of the hotel restaurant was a star chef before the virus outbreak, so some of the food is naturally much better than that of the shelter.

The delicious vermicelli is topped with spoonfuls of chili oil.

The group of people ate until sweat broke out on their foreheads, looking extremely happy.

"You should eat more. The chef here is much better than Chef Gong... But when we get back, don't tell Chef Gong about this, or he'll hit us on the head with his big spoon."

Yang Fan and others ate and laughed, and even Xia Runrun pricked up her ears from time to time to listen to the discussion.

"Slurp slurp slurp~"

A group of people quickly devoured a large bowl.

Chu Hang glanced at the table and waved to the waiter, asking him to bring more. Everyone these days is a big eater; one bowl isn't enough.

Xia Ruanruan looked up at Chu Hang and curled her lips with a smile. Since her last discussion with Xiaobai, Xiaobai had obviously changed a lot. Especially in terms of getting along with others, he was obviously much closer.

Seeing that new food was served just after they finished eating, Huang Haichao and others immediately smiled and thanked Chu Hang.

Xia Ruanruan chewed the fragrant and spicy vermicelli and blinked slowly.

Sometimes, it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand many things, as long as you know them.

A waiter in a black uniform quietly came to Chu Hang and found him. He whispered, "Sir, there's a middle-aged couple named Chu outside the hotel who want to see you... Do you want to go out and take a look?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Chu?" Chu Hang frowned slightly, his eyes deep. He stood up and followed the waiter.

There is probably only one couple named Chu in the world who can appear at the Longquan Survival Base and look for him.

The people he had just met a few days ago came to his door today, and he wanted to hear what these people had to say.

…………

Chu's father and mother stood outside the hotel waiting anxiously, and the passers-by coming and going made them look out of place in the hotel.

As soon as they saw Chu Hang coming out of the hotel, Chu's father and mother's eyes immediately lit up and they walked forward to greet him.

"Son! After all these years, your father and I finally found you!" As Chu's mother came forward, tears instantly rolled down her cheeks and her eyes were red from crying.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back... You'll stay in the base from now on, right?" Chu's father's thin lips trembled, and he was so excited that it seemed as if a lost treasure had returned.

There were already many people outside the hotel, and with the couple making quite a lot of noise, many people stopped and gathered around.

Chu Hang stood on a staircase two or three steps high, looking down at the couple with a cold expression, his face not changing at all.

Facing the current scene.

The couple didn't feel awkward at all. Instead, they took two steps forward, stood next to Chu Hang, and continued, "Over the years, your mother and I have always felt indebted to you because of what happened to you. Every night when I wake up, I see your mother secretly wiping away tears, and I wake up from nightmares every night too. Hanghang, can you please forgive your parents? Can you stay at the base and live with us?"

Father Chu's voice was earnest and his eyes were expectant, instantly arousing the sympathy of everyone around him.

These days, countless families have been torn apart by the virus. Being able to reunite after separation is a great blessing. Even the biggest conflicts should dissipate with reunion. Chu's father is hoping the crowd will speak up for him and let his son, who has been separated for three years, stay with him! As long as he's willing to stay, and then let his wife suffer, they will definitely be able to live the good life they want!
