Chapter 398 Migration

But no matter what, it is a bit too early to say these things now. It is obvious that the most important thing is to solve the current difficulties first.

Since it would almost be over after two more rains, Lan Jin and the others naturally stopped urging them to go up.

But security down there couldn't be neglected either. Even though many of the base's psychics were already guarding it, there was no guarantee that some powerful mutants wouldn't suddenly appear. So, Captain Zhang said, "Lan Jin, Lao Gao, Xiao Huang, Ling Jiang, I'm going to trouble you for the safety of the dungeon for the time being. Once we move to the new base, I'll definitely arrange a very good place for you to live."

etc.

What the hell is a transferred base? What is a new base? I have never heard of it before.

When Captain Zhang saw the bewildered expressions on the four men's faces, he said, "No, Xiao Huang's parents are at the new base. Haven't you mentioned this privately?"

Huang Jinghe shook his head frantically and said, "No, absolutely not. Besides, the communication was completely cut off after we arrived in the underground city. I can't contact my parents at all."

When he was up there, he only reported that he was safe, and after that one contact, he never contacted again.

Of course, he is still worried that his parents are too busy and his contact will disturb their work.

The key point is that this is not the main point. Lao Gao asked: "What do you mean by a new base? Could it be that the people above are still building the base and we have to move out later?"

In other words, even the Jingshi base is not the end point?

Captain Zhang said, "Yes, we have to move. Not only will we move there, but the people from the official base will also move in with us. There's nothing we can do about it. Too many people have died, and we don't need to protect them anymore..."

I'm afraid of extinction, but Captain Zhang didn't say it directly.

Another thing is that after so many people died, there are really not many people left alive. This is because they have not seen the tragic conditions of other bases with their own eyes. If they had seen them, they would feel that it is a blessing that so many people are able to survive.

…

In any case, moving to another base is imminent, but if someone really places mutant creatures inside them, then that person will be in great danger. If they are not caught, even if they are moved, the danger will still be with them.

Lao Gao said, "Actually, it doesn't seem to be that difficult to get the mutant creatures down there without anyone noticing."

Everyone looked at Lao Gao strangely, but suddenly they came to their senses, and the events of the R City base suddenly emerged in their minds.

At that time, the villa was filled with portraits of mutant creatures, and those mutant creatures ran out of the paintings one by one. The scene was extremely terrifying.

The portrait in the villa was large, so the mutant creatures that came out were all large creatures.

But if it is just a tiny mutant creature, there is no need for such a large portrait. Moreover, this kind of thing is not easy to be detected when it is put in the pocket, and it is also difficult for people to notice when it is released. In short, the whole process can be done without anyone knowing.

After this analysis, everyone became a little restless. However, as for finding the person in this underground city, Lan Jin and his companions really did not have the authority to do so, and therefore did not participate in the entire subsequent process. However, they heard that—

Within two days, Captain Zhang and Captain Wang caught two suspicious persons in the underground city. Not to mention that they were taken away, they never appeared again after that.

As for whether they got any useful information, it was completely impossible for them to know.

…

Captain Zhang originally said that the acid rain would end after two rains, but in reality, it took four rains and half a month of waiting before Captain Zhang discussed with Captain Zhou about moving their base.

During this half month, not only the members of the base, but also everyone living here, has been packing their luggage.

Although they didn't have much luggage, there were a lot of things in the base. Wouldn't it save time if everyone helped together? Besides, these were resources that could not be regenerated temporarily and should be recycled repeatedly.

After everything was packed up and there was really nothing left to take, Captain Zhou and Captain Zhang arranged for people to move up.

To be honest, they hadn't been up there for two months, and when they came back, they found that the environment here was really not something ordinary people could adapt to.

Because of the acid rain, the air is filled with the smell of corrosion. In addition, although acid rain has little effect on mutant creatures, it still has a significant effect on other things.

The flood covered everything, and the fish in the flood were stranded and died because they had no time to migrate due to the water receding too quickly.

The smell of decay is already unpleasant, and with the acid rain—

The smell in the air is simply intoxicating.

Now she finally understood why Captain Zhang equipped all the children with gas masks. Adults could tolerate it, but children might not be able to bear it.

But we have already prepared it for the children, so why can’t we prepare some for the adults as well?

Captain Zhang said as a matter of course, "There are too many people to sort out. Anyway, no one is doing anything serious, and breathing a few breaths of the unpleasant odor won't kill them, so naturally, we didn't prepare anything."

I have to say, this reason is very powerful, so powerful that no one can refute it.

In short, that's how it was. Everyone moved to the new base, smelling the unpleasant smell.

Naturally, they encountered a lot of mutated creatures along the way, but these were no problem at all for Yu Lanjin and the other three, and they could easily solve them.

But accidents happen. On the third day after they moved out of the base, when everyone was resting and having dinner, the ground suddenly shook violently.

The area where they were at the moment was exactly the center of the earthquake. Almost instantly, everyone had a bad guess in their mind.

Everyone was praying on the spot, hoping it wasn't an earthquake. However, if it wasn't an earthquake, what else could it be?

The strong tremor came quickly, almost instantly making everyone unable to stand still.

During the shaking, Lan Jin immediately dropped the dishes in her hands and hugged her daughter tightly. At this time, she was thinking, would there be any accidents in such a strong earthquake? Could she just put them all into the space and wait until the earthquake was over before coming out? Wouldn't that be much safer?

If she wanted to do this, she would definitely do it very secretly, but the reality did not develop that way.

Because of the chaotic environment, everyone stood together in groups. Any movement of Lan Jin would be seen by everyone. It would be fine if he lived alone in the future, but if he wanted to go back to the base and live with everyone, he would definitely be attacked by others.
