The way water-based psychics put out fires is to pour water. A first-level water-based psychic can already make it rain in a small area. The "rain" of psychics is not comparable to natural rain. It is just a thin layer sprinkled on the flames, and the fire will be extinguished quickly.
It is even easier for those with fire-related abilities to put out a fire. Within the range of their abilities, the fire will be extinguished all at once.
So all the raging fires around, except for the fire on the pile, were quickly extinguished. Except for the corpses of mutant beasts lying on the ground, the surroundings became quiet again.
Only the tempting aroma of barbecue in the air did not dissipate, but instead felt even stronger.
"Tuan Pei, now we are not afraid of provoking something to attack us, can we roast the snake meat and eat it?" suggested a soldier with special abilities.
Although Wen Yubai didn't know his name, she knew that this was the person who had always followed Captain Pei.
The aroma of barbecue filled the air. Everyone had been eating dry food for the past five days, and they were so greedy when they smelled the meat. Now someone took the lead in proposing it, and everyone immediately agreed.
Captain Pei would naturally not let everyone down on such a matter, but grilling meat was laborious and troublesome, and they had no other seasoning except salt.
Finally, at Wen Yubai's suggestion, she got out three large iron pots, placed them on the fire, and cooked a large pot of snake meat porridge.
After having only eaten dry food for a few days, the people did not think it was simple at all and ate until their bellies were full and bloated.
The biggest danger to Nanyan City is the mutant snake leader. Now that the biggest threat has been resolved, their next journey will naturally go smoothly.
After eating and drinking, everyone set out early the next morning in high spirits and soon arrived at the grain storage warehouse.
Although it is the end of the world, the Hua Kingdom's national regime has not collapsed. Although they can take the rice in the grain storage warehouse, they cannot take as much as they can. Instead, it will be distributed according to the total number of people in their base.
According to the previous distribution from their superiors, they could only take one-fifth of the share.
But because they killed the extremely dangerous mutant snake leader, Captain Pei and his team received a message early this morning that their superiors decided to reward them and allow them to take two-fifths of the portion, just enough to fill the twenty large trucks they drove.
"We don't have enough supplies for the winter in our base. Plus, the cities surrounding Base No. 5 are all tropical cities in the south, so there aren't many supplies to keep out the cold. There's a military supplies transfer center in the urban area of Nanyan City, which contains a lot of supplies such as cotton-padded clothes and quilts." Captain Pei said.
This was originally something he and Colonel Fu had discussed privately, but they didn't expect that because of their meritorious service, the rice they received had already filled up the vehicle. However, those cold-weather supplies were also necessary, otherwise how could they survive the winter.
"But our car can only carry some lighter supplies and can't take much." Su Yongquan was also eager to try.
"You forgot that those people at Base No. 3 left behind dozens of large trucks." Captain Pei said.
"But, Base No. 3 will definitely send more people. It is said that their base is running out of food, and now so many psychics have died. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult. If we take away their vehicles, I'm afraid they will protest. You also know that the commander of Base No. 3 and our commander are not on good terms." Su Yongquan hesitated.
If it were any other base commander, he probably wouldn't say anything, but Base Commander No. 3 liked to go against Colonel Fu the most. Although he didn't have any bad intentions, as long as it didn't violate the principles, he just liked to go against the grain.
The reason why Su Yongquan knew it so clearly was because these two people were once "rivals in love" and the commander of Base No. 3 had also pursued his aunt.
"You take the convoy back to the place where we rested last night. I will take more than 20 people to drive their cars into Nanyan City to take out the supplies. You should try to collect more metals in the afternoon. When the time comes, you can ask Xiaowen to get a trailer to tow the supplies back, and we will leave their vehicles there." Captain Pei knew some of the inside story, but he had already thought of a way.
Their trucks were loaded with rice and were very heavy. Driving into the unknown Nanyan City would not only be troublesome, but would also consume a lot of energy, so splitting up the operations would save a lot.
"This is a good idea." Su Yongquan agreed greatly: "Miss Wen's ability is very practical."
But after thinking about it, Su Yongquan became a little worried: "According to satellite detection, there are still four or five hundred mutant snakes in Nanyan City. It's too dangerous for you to go in with only more than twenty people."
"I will bring Xiaowen with me. You and Officer Jiang will be in a team. As long as there are no third-level mutant animals, they will not pose a threat to us." Captain Pei said confidently.
Su Yongquan thought of the ferocious fighting power of these two people and silently swallowed his caution.
These two people specifically target the leaders of the mutant animals. Perhaps the mutant animals will have psychological trauma when they see them and will not dare to approach them.
Su Yongquan was just secretly complaining about the cruelty of the two people in his heart, but he didn't expect that he would reveal the truth.
Captain Pei and Wen Yubai sat in the front truck, watching the streets on both sides of Nanyan City, guarding against any danger that might arise at any time.
As a result, let alone zombies, the most they saw was a flash of the snake's shadow from a distance, and then even the shadow disappeared.
"These mutant snakes seemed to know who we are from a distance and didn't even dare to get close to us. I don't know how they knew it so clearly. But this is only because you, Pei Tuan, and Miss Wen are so powerful." The driver said excitedly.
This driver was the number two driver, one of Captain Pei's confidants. Wen Yubai didn't understand why Captain Pei would let him drive for him.
"It seems that the zombies in Nanyan City have probably been eaten by mutant snakes." Captain Pei said.
"Otherwise, the mutant snakes in Nanyan City would not have evolved so quickly. If the survivors in Nanyan City had not moved quickly, they would probably have all become food for the mutant snakes." Wen Yubai was not surprised at all.
In his previous life, after Jiang Tianyan sacrificed most of his superpowers to bring rice back to Base No. 5, legends began to spread in Base No. 5 that Nanyan City was a ghost town and there was not even a zombie in it.
In the absence of zombies and mutant animals that dared not appear, their journey was smooth except for a traffic jam on one street. They found the military supplies transfer center in less than half an hour after entering the city.
Because this is a military supplies transfer center, when the survivors of Nanyan City evacuated, the army responsible for transferring the survivors did not come here to collect supplies.
Therefore, the several doors of the military supplies transfer center are intact, and the supplies in the warehouse inside the transfer center are also well preserved.
Although their superiors did not specify any limit on the amount they could take, Captain Pei and his men only planned to take the amount they needed and not too much.
While everyone was working hard to move supplies such as quilts and cotton clothes, Captain Pei made a hint to Wen Yubai and took her into the transfer center.
