What sets Huangyan apart from other bases is that they don't conduct inspections at the entrance.
Ye Nianzhen and the others drove to the second gate inside, where someone conducted a simple inspection of them and their belongings.
The inspection process was very quick. Ye Nianzhen had heard Lei Lang tell her about this on the way. The Wasteland Base was a mixed bag, and anyone who didn't bring a living zombie or a dangerous monster could enter. There were even some people raising relatively docile and delicious monsters on the outskirts of the base.
This model is the first of its kind among all the major bases. So although the Huangyan Base is not as large as those major bases, it has a large number of people coming and going, and it is a relatively wealthy base.
After Ye Nianzhen and the others underwent the inspection, they drove directly into the base. The others caught up late, but they had already gone far away. They were about to be inspected again, so they just stood anxiously at the entrance.
Although they said they would complain to the guards, they didn't say a word when they actually stood in front of the guards, because they had actually offended the guards, so the inspection process took longer.
By the time they finally made it through the city gate, Ye Nianzhen and the others had vanished without a trace. They were extremely annoyed; their vehicle was still brand new and had cost a fortune to buy. The reason they had planned to kick Lei Lang out of the group was because they had captured a high-level magical beast and gained a lot of contribution points, but they didn't want to share them with Lei Lang. After all, Lei Lang was the captain at the time and had contributed the most during the hunt, even sustaining some injuries. Logically, he should have taken the lion's share. So, they cleverly devised a plan to kick Lei Lang out of the group so they could get even more contribution points.
However, in reality, after the vice-captain became the captain, he didn't want to share contribution points with the team members anymore, so he simply discussed with everyone and bought this car. This way, no one would get a share, but everyone was very happy.
In fact, their behavior was very foolish. As it turned out, without Lei Lang's guidance and help, they could no longer hunt any powerful monsters, and the danger increased dramatically. This led to them going out of the city to hunt less often and earning less and less money.
Their original plan for this trip out of the city was to hunt monsters, even if the monsters they caught were of low level, they could still make a lot of money if they caught a large number of them.
But after losing the Thunder Wolf, their luck seemed to turn bad. They accidentally wandered into the territory of the mutated giant and angered the huge monster, forcing them to flee in panic. Now, things are even worse; their vehicle and spoils have been stolen!
However, what they didn't know was that it wasn't that their luck had turned bad, but rather that when Lei Lang was leading the team, he would use his long experience hunting outside and his own strength to avoid danger. He would never lead his team into the territory of a giant magical beast that they simply couldn't defeat.
This is probably what they call picking up a sesame seed and losing a watermelon; a group of stupid and weak people thought they were clever, but ended up reaping the bitter fruit of their own actions.

Upon entering the desolate base, Ye Nianzhen and his group first needed to find a place where they could stay.
They don't have the contribution points needed here, but Lei Lang originally belonged to this base, and he has contribution points in his account.
Although there wasn't much left, it was enough to rent rooms for the group. So they found an affordable hotel. The building used to be a hotel, the kind that cost a thousand a night, but after the apocalypse, very few people rented houses, so the price plummeted. Now it was run by the base management. Although the income wasn't much, some mercenaries and superhuman teams would rent rooms here, giving the base some extra income.
As for the locals in the base, they generally live in houses like apartments. If residents accumulate enough contribution points, they can directly buy an apartment, which is more cost-effective than renting a house.
Ye Nianzhen and the others rented hotel rooms and settled in. They parked their car outside the hotel and moved their belongings into the rooms. Ye Nianzhen had a room by herself, while the other men shared rooms in groups of two or three.
This is probably the best room Ye Nianzhen has stayed in since waking up this time. Before, when she was with the beastmen, the living environment was relatively primitive, and it was very cold there every day. The rooms were not very warm either. Even with a stove lit, she could barely avoid freezing.
It's different here. They came all the way from the north and are now in the north-central part of the country. The temperature here is no longer very cold, and it gets even warmer after spring. The hotel is warm in winter and cool in summer. Ye Nianzhen lay on the soft bed in the hotel, stretched out her arms, and then rolled around on the blankets.
Not long ago, she was almost injured by a crazed mutated elephant. Now that she was relaxed, Ye Nianzhen felt a little sleepy and drifted off to sleep.
After she fell asleep, she always felt a faint voice calling her name, but the voice disappeared when she woke up.
She thought about it and figured it must be the system's voice.
If she wanted the system to return quickly, she could only try to find more glowing flowers.
After waking up, she washed her face and, hearing some noise outside, went out of the room.
Once she went outside, she found it was really noisy. It turned out that those same people had come to cause trouble for them again. One minute they were telling them to return the car, and the next they were telling them to get out of the desolate base.
"That's ridiculous. I've never heard of the Wasteland Base being decided by a few people. Now that we've entered the base, whether we leave or not is our own business. What does it have to do with you?"
Luo Shui cursed at them a few times, but didn't mention returning the car at all.
The situation was so dangerous before that even he, who has a good temper, would have been provoked. Besides, their car was totaled at that time. In his opinion, these people were only compensating them with a car, not several lives, which was already a good deal!
Seeing this, the group started cursing and grumbling again. At this point, the onlookers couldn't stand it anymore. They had heard of this team, and many people knew that they had worked together to drive Lei Lang out of the team. Lei Lang had a very good reputation in the base.
Even though Lei Lang prefers to work alone and isn't exactly friendly to others, his strength is undeniable, and everyone who goes on missions with him speaks highly of him. Under these circumstances, the base has a very high opinion of Lei Lang. On the contrary, these few smug guys haven't given them a good look since that incident.
