As the sun set, Jiang Wenxi and Gu Ran searched the surroundings for a while.
Gu Ran found a few zombies and chased them for a long time. Later, he met an injured Ant-Man and started performing human dissection.
After waiting for it to get dark, Jiang Wenxi took Gu Ran into the base.
"System, scan the base situation."
The Northwest Base is unexpectedly lively at night. As the weather gets warmer, many people are strolling on the streets, and there is also a food street.
"System, does their base require identity verification?"
"Host, there is a temporary pass."
Jiang Wenxi also saw a man holding a temporary pass and exchanging it for payment coins at a window on the street.
"Get two temporary passes."
Jiang Wenxi took his base card and walked to the redemption counter: "Exchange for 500 points."
The man inside didn't even look up: "The handling fee is 50 points."
"no problem."
Jiang Wenxi handed over the base card and received a base consumption card with 500 points.
"Brother, I just arrived today. I want to know if there is any fuel for sale at our base?"
Jiang Wenxi handed over a pack of cigarettes, and the man finally looked up. "The base sells cigarettes for 10 points per liter. Each car has a quota of 20 liters per month. Every liter above the quota is 25 points."
"Go to the black market and get 15 points per liter for unlimited consumption. Do you want it?"
Jiang Wenxi smiled: "Thank you, I don't need it for now."
Jiang Wenxi took Gu Ran away with her conscience. She was referring to the price. If someone was cheating, that would be another matter.
"Xiaoran, take this card and buy whatever you want to eat."
The things sold there are definitely not as good as before the apocalypse, but it’s still very lively. What people eat there is not the food, but the atmosphere.
A cup of instant milk tea costs 20 points, and a starch sausage costs 5 points.
Looking down the road, the food prices are not cheap.
There are also stalls selling kebabs, all of which are meat hunted from the wild. There are also various kinds of meat, and the grilled ingredients are not complete. The starting price is five points per kebab.
Jiang Wenxi ate very little, so it was Gu Ran who was experiencing it.
In the crowd, the two of them were very conspicuous, but the strange thing was that Gu Ran ate from beginning to end.
Jiang Wenxi was observing her surroundings while the system was busy scanning the people gathered in the base and the surrounding situation.
"Host, Nighthawk's men are still at the base."
Jiang Wenxi nodded. They shouldn’t be bored and come to the snack street. They are more likely to eat in the shops.
“It’s not tasty.”
Gu Ran finished all the food and gave a general evaluation.
Jiang Wenxi smiled. Even if the food didn't taste good, she ate it all. She knew that Gu Ran would not waste food and would definitely not visit the snack stand again in the short term.
"Let's go for a walk after we've eaten."
Jiang Wenxi took Gu Ran and turned into several alleys. There was almost no one behind them. The snack street was the only popular area in the entire base.
"Xiaoran, we'll go to their office later. Please help me guard the door."
Jiang Wenxi used the system to enter the base's office. This was not a building, but a large courtyard.
There were people patrolling and standing guard all around, and the two were teleported into the house by the system.
They could both hear the voices of the people next door clearly. Jiang Wenxi made a gesture and Gu Ran stood at the window and looked out.
Jiang Wenxi followed the system to query the information, mainly looking at the records during this period.
"I have found the host."
Jiang Wenxi was looking through the base's construction plan: "System, go to the base commander's office and listen."
There are so many people here that they won't go out and take risks.
"Host, discuss going to the third subsidiary base. They are discussing whether to bring new weapons."
A drawing that looked a bit like a bazooka was displayed on the system panel.
"Have you decided on the departure time?"
"Not yet. According to their conversation, it will be tomorrow morning at the earliest. The Nighthawk members are also in the conference room."
Jiang Wenxi felt that they needed to stay away from the Northwest Base tonight.
"Xiao Ran, do you plan to find a hotel at the base tonight or go out into the wild?"
"Go to the wild."
The answer was within Jiang Wenxi's expectations. Jiang Wenxi took Gu Ran to the second northwest subsidiary base. According to the information, some mutant creatures appeared here.
As soon as the two of them landed, they heard a special cry.
Gu Ran started running, and Jiang Wenxi followed closely behind. She had already seen the monster's appearance clearly on the system panel, and by the way, she also projected it into Gu Ran's consciousness.
There was another group of people chasing the monster. When the two of them caught up, they were already fighting with the monster.
The two men were lying in the shelter, and they didn't look like orcs. At most, they looked like humans, but more like a gorilla-like species. They were obviously not local mutations, but more like monsters from that world.
Gu Ran couldn't hold back any longer and wanted to rush out, but Jiang Wenxi held him back: "Wait, don't interfere."
"Host, I feel like it should be an experimental subject, and a failure."
After a systematic analysis, it was concluded that the two men watching the battle below had no fighting skills other than brute force.
It was already at a disadvantage at this point. Two people riding motorcycles pulled the chains in circles to tie up the monster, and the monster was tripped. The remaining people held electric batons and guns in their hands and attacked the monster fiercely.
A pickup truck drove up to them, hooked the chain with an iron hook, dragged it onto the truck, secured it, and immediately returned.
The motorcycle followed behind, and this group of people looked professional at first glance. This probably wasn't the first time this had happened.
After watching them walk away, the two people appeared from behind the rock.
"Don't be discouraged, Xiaoran. There are others around here. Let's look for them slowly."
Gu Ran nodded and plunged into the darkness. Jiang Wenxi followed behind resignedly in order to escape the fate of being a headless fly.
"The system locates special creatures in the surrounding area, including zombies."
Looking at the screen full of little red dots, Jiang Wenxi said, "Xiaoran, you choose."
Gu Ran randomly opened the blind box and chose one. Jiang Wenxi followed behind him. There were zombies howling on the road, but Gu Ran did not stop.
Jiang Wenxi sighed, she was stimulated by the monster just now.
After walking and stopping for more than half an hour, we finally approached the target, which was a group of black wild boars with sharp fangs on their mouths.
A zombie was grunting and biting the ground. Its head was twisted off and it was impossible to tell whether it was killed by a wild boar or was already dead.
"Boss, don't do anything. I'll go first."
"Okay!"
Jiang Wenxi found a suitable position and took out her gun just in case.
Gu Ran rushed into the herd of wild boars with a dagger in his hand, and pounced directly on a huge wild boar, stabbing the dagger accurately into the side of the wild boar.
With a deafening wail, the wild boar rolled over in pain, and dust flew up.
"Host, this is clearly a provocation."
The wild boars have gone crazy!
Gu Ran was alone, facing the angry wild boars, with one hand on his waist.
A wild boar rushed towards Gu Ran. Gu Ran quickly turned around to avoid the rushing wild boar. The rough fur brushed across his arms, and Jiang Wenxi's heart tightened.
Just as he was about to pull the trigger, a few tiny afterimages flashed before his eyes.
I saw Gu Ran rolling to the side below, and several wild boars running around wildly, with blood dripping on the ground.
