A convoy returned to Loukun's base in the evening.
At the very front was a car so black it seemed to swallow up light; one look at it was enough to send chills down your spine.
When moving at high speed, it appears as if a black hole is traveling across the ground.
Sitting in the car were Xin Sui's four daughters.
The driver was not Xin Sui, but Xuan Wei.
Xuanwei looked at the car with longing and really wanted to try it out. Since Xin Sui didn't know the way back to the base, she handed the driver's seat over to her.
The car was actually easier to operate in the future, and Xuanwei quickly got the hang of it, driving it fast and steadily.
There were quite a few people queuing to enter the city ahead of her, so Xuanwei slowed down the car.
Xin Sui immediately spotted the towering, majestic city wall in front of him.
"How high is this city wall?" she asked.
Xuanwei: "More than fifty meters, I really don't know the exact height."
"When the Lou family called on people with supernatural abilities to build the city wall, I also participated."
"The city wall was destroyed by zombies and monsters several times after it was built, and it was rebuilt again and again until it reached its current size."
Qiao Lu: "It is said that the Lou family's laboratory has developed a new type of material, which was used in the construction of the city wall. That's why the city wall is so solid and strong now, and even a third-level zombie can't break through it."
Xuanwei: "No wonder the city walls haven't been breached even once in recent years."
Xin Sui knew that although the city wall in front of him seemed impregnable, it would probably be breached in a single encounter when the next World-Destroying Mystic Flow arrived.
Until the invention of energy shields, humanity lived in constant fear of insecurity.
The homes that were built were destroyed time and time again, and the farmland that was reclaimed was destroyed time and time again.
The world's population once dropped to less than ten million.
The Inner Earth Clan realized that things couldn't continue like this.
If all the people on earth die, where will the slaves and food come from after our race is born?
So the Inner Earth race "invented" the energy shield and traded it to humans.
Humanity then entered a relatively stable period of development.
After more than two hundred years of reproduction, the prosperous scene that Xin Sui saw when he traveled through time came into being.
I noticed that there were many tents scattered outside the city, like clusters of settlements.
Xin Sui asked, "Why don't those people go into the city, but instead live outside the city?"
Xuanwei scoffed, "Do you think they don't want to enter the city? They can't."
Ruan Peipei raised her hand: "I know the answer to this question."
"Those who are able to enter the city are either people with superpowers or people with special skills or knowledge."
"In short, they are all people who can contribute to the construction of the base, because the Lou family does not support useless people."
She chuckled self-deprecatingly at this point, "Like me and Qiao Lu, although we have neither awakened any superpowers nor possess any special skills, what can we do when we're good-looking?"
Xin Sui remained silent for a moment.
Qiao Lu said in a cold voice, "These people can't enter the city, but they don't dare to go too far away from the city either, because the wilderness is full of man-eating zombies and monsters."
"The Lou family also tacitly allowed them to live outside the city. If zombies or monsters attack, these people can at least serve as cannon fodder to resist them for a while."
Xuanwei added, "These people outside the city are called 'wild people' by the Lou family members in the city who consider themselves superior."
"The Lou family is using the city entry qualification to lure the wild people, saying that once they reach 500 contribution points, they can get a city entry qualification."
Xin Sui: "Contribution points?"
Ruan Peipei: "The currency created by the Lou family can be used as money within the Lou family's territory, and ability users are also rewarded with contribution points when completing tasks."
Xuanwei: "But once you leave the base, contribution points are useless; crystal cores are still more popular."
"Crystal cores are hard currency, just like gold before the apocalypse."
Upon reaching the city gate, the guards stopped Xin Sui and her companions' carriage.
Xin Sui lowered the car window, revealing Lou Kai's imposing figure.
Upon seeing him, the guard immediately bowed and scraped with a fawning smile.
"Oh, it's Young Master Kai. You're back from your mission? You must be tired. Please have some water."
He handed over a bottle of clean water.
Xin Sui took it and casually tossed a first-tier crystal core over.
"This car is what I got on this mission. From now on, it will be my personal vehicle. Remember that."
"If you dare to stop my car again, you can go outside the city and keep company with those savages."
Guard: "Yes, yes, I will definitely not dare to do it again next time. Young Master Kai, please come in."
After the black car drove into the city gate, the guard wiped the sweat from his forehead in fear.
He secretly spat in his heart.
Pah! What is that?!
They were just born into the Lou family because they were born into the right family.
If only my surname were Lou...
Inside the car, Xuanwei and the other two all looked at Xin Sui with surprise and admiration.
"Your acting is amazing! I really thought Lou Kai had come back to life." Xuan Wei gave Xin Sui a thumbs up.
Xin Sui accepted the compliment with a smile, "Haha, you flatter me. After we get off the car, the three of you will have to cooperate with me well."
"If we slip up, the four of us are all in this together, and we'll be doomed."
Ruan Peipei: "Don't worry, once you get off the car, I'll treat you as that damned Lou Kai."
Qiao Lu smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about me. After all, I've done my share of acting while working for Lou Kai these past few years."
When you return from a mission, the first thing you should do is go to the mission building to turn it in.
The lobby on the first floor of the mission building was as bustling as a public hospital before the apocalypse, packed with people everywhere.
Xin Sui used his facial recognition to lead Xuan Wei and her group to cut in line.
They were perfectly justified.
