Seeing Zhu Yuanlong's mysterious demeanor, Ye Yanling recalled the refuge he had visited before.
He frowned: "They're not going to leave those remains to feed the refugees in the base, are they?"
Holy crap!
Zhu Yuanlong was taken aback: "How did you know?"
Ye Yanling's expression turned grim: "Because I've encountered it before."
Ye Jinyan's expression was indescribable: "According to the description, those patients swelled up until they finally exploded, with blood and flesh flying everywhere. They were then burned and disinfected on the spot with a blowtorch. How are we supposed to collect the samples?"
Zhu Yuanlong whispered, "Those were people who were blown up, so they're definitely not edible. But there are many factors that can cause death, not just poisoning. You should have seen it when you came; Nanli and the surrounding cities were almost completely destroyed."
With so many people in this base, severe shortages of supplies, and the strange creatures being difficult to kill, what are the refugees eating?
Ye Yanling stared at him: "You've eaten?"
Zhu Yuanlong chuckled, leaned closer, and whispered, "People who have eaten it have an indescribable smell, and they look at you with a chilling aura. Do you think I have that?"
Ye Yanling leaned back slightly, "All I know is that you smell bad, brother."
Zhu Yuanlong laughed heartily, "I thought you wouldn't complain, turns out you've been holding it in all this time. Thanks for your hard work."
At this moment, his clothes were soaked with blood, sticky and uncomfortable. If he could, he really wanted to strip naked; it was too uncomfortable.
Ye Jinyan gestured to Zhu Yuanlong, "You can eat the noodles I'm eating and the noodles he's eating. We're not hungry."
"Are you really not hungry?"
Ye Jinyan nodded: "I'm really not hungry. You need to eat more; you've lost too much blood."
Zhu Yuanlong didn't stand on ceremony and started eating heartily. He hadn't had a meal like this in a long time. If it weren't for Ye Yanling treating him, he wouldn't have been able to eat this Three Delicacies Noodles.
After he finished eating, the toxins and hidden ailments in his body were also cured by Ye Jinyan.
Ye Yanling put down a level one crystal core and called Ye Tu and the others to leave together.
Zhu Yuanlong felt much better now, with no more tormenting wounds, and his spirits were much higher.
He whispered to Ye Yanling, "Let me tell you, these past two days, several strangely dressed people have suddenly appeared in the base. They seem otherworldly and are clearly from reclusive families."
They wandered around the base freely, and no one dared to stop them. They were even accompanied by the military. They didn't care about ordinary people like us, but they paid special attention to people with superpowers.
You are quite capable; if you encounter them, you might be targeted, so be careful.
Have you seen them fight?
"No, no one dared to go up and cause trouble, so we didn't have a chance to see them make a move."
When Zhu Yuanlong told Ye Yanling and the others about this situation, Ye Ling and the other two had already finished their conversation with the top leader of South Korea University of Technology.
As Ye Ling and her group were about to leave, their leader called out to them: "Miss Ye, would you like to speak with me alone?"
You Ziming and Wen Yanchen looked at Ye Ling, and she said to them, "Just stay here, there's nothing you can't hear."
Hearing her say that, the leader didn't insist, but instead got straight to the point: "Miss Ye, could you stay at the base for a few more days?"
That's right, we're now surrounded by enemies, not only tormented by viruses and strange insects, but also fighting against strange species outside.
The food in the warehouse can only support the survivors in the base for six months. Even with all the means we use, we can only collect a small amount of supplies.
We were once one of the most resource-rich cities, with abundant grain and fruit trees. But now, all our previously stored grain is buried underground.
We are also severely lacking in medical supplies, and we are being threatened by several powerful individuals who have suddenly appeared. They are ruthless enough to try and seize some of our supplies, simply out of curiosity.
At this point, the leader looked worried: "Miss Ye is a psychic, so she must have already discovered some shady things in our base."
I admit I'm not a good person, but I'm not an irredeemably evil one either. I made this decision after thinking about it for a long time.
"Miss Ye, we've entered a period of famine. To survive, we'll even eat tree bark, so we're making the most of everything."
"Oh."
Ye Ling sneered, "I suppose you used this excuse to convince yourself when you made this decision?"
The leader did not deny it, and even asked Ye Ling in return: "Then what do you think I should do, Miss Ye? Let those old, weak, sick and disabled people starve to death? Or do you think they should go out and fight against the strange creatures?"
Or should we send them out to find supplies? All I can do now is have them do what they can in the base, giving them a little food each day so they don't starve.
Wen Yanchen and You Ziming narrowed their eyes slightly. They hadn't understood their conversation before, but now they did.
This base actually used... to feed the survivors...
The two realized this and were immediately chilled to the bone, feeling that the entire base was eerie.
You Ziming pursed his lips. No wonder the resentment and death aura here were so strong. So that's the reason!
He glared at the leader with hostility, and a nameless rage rose within him.
The leader ignored their reaction and continued, looking at Ye Ling, "Miss Ye may not know, but people die here every day."
As time went on, the death toll rose from double digits to triple digits, and now it has reached four digits. There are many causes of death: dying in battle, poisoning, starvation, disease, and many others.
We don't have a crematorium at our base, and we can't send them outside for burial. So what do we do with these bodies?
With so many corpses, we either throw them outside for the strange creatures to eat, or let them rot and wait for the plague to break out.
Putting aside the fact that we can't do it, the deceased's family wouldn't agree to us doing it either.
