Fan Zun was about to speak when Xiao Yi made a hushed gesture, signaling him to be quiet. Then, Xiao Yi pointed at Fan Zun's belongings, signaling him to quickly pack his things. Fan Zun immediately understood what Xiao Yi meant and began to quickly stuff his things into his small space. The process was very silent; no one spoke or made any sound. Xiao Yi and Fan Zun communicated with each other through eye contact and gestures, and everything happened silently. They trusted each other and cooperated with each other without the need for excessive words.
Soon after, Fan Zun had packed up his things and was ready to leave the room with Xiao Yi. They walked out of the room quietly and closed the door gently, as if nothing had happened.
After Fan Zun packed up everything, he and Xiao Yi quickly returned to Xiao Yi's room. After entering the room, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief. Although Fan Zun and Yu Wei had not had much interaction before, they gradually got to know each other through Xiao Yi's "introduction" over a long period of time. Although time was tight and their life trajectories were different, at this special moment, they united together to face the challenges of the future together.
Xiao Yi spoke first, and after confirming that no one was eavesdropping, he said seriously: "The current calm is only temporary. Once everyone has superpowers, the situation will become very dangerous. Some superpowers are offensive, while others are purely functional and defensive."
Fan Zun listened to Xiao Yi's words and took out the map he had just drawn. It was a topographic map of their current location. There were many large and small modifications on it. It was obvious that he was also thinking about how to deal with the next situation.
Xiao Yi looked at the map in Fan Zun's hand, his eyes flashing with thought. He continued, "Also, the extreme cold should be over soon. Next, I think there will be an even more brutal extreme heat than before."
When Fan Zun heard Xiao Yi's words, his brows furrowed. It seemed that he had realized the seriousness of the situation. He looked at the changes on the map, took a deep breath, and said, "It seems that we need to be more fully prepared. Extreme heat will be more difficult to deal with than extreme cold."
Yu Wei spoke at the right time: "The question now is, is the base still safe? And my grandfather, aunt, uncle, and Ye Ming, should we go and inform them?"
Xiao Yi held Yu Wei's slightly cold fingertips and comforted her: "There is no rush at the moment, we are just planning ahead. If they want to leave, we can act together; if they don't want to leave, there is nothing we can do."
Yu Wei shook Xiao Yi's hand back and nodded gently. She understood what Xiao Yi meant. The most important thing now was to be fully prepared, not to rush to inform others. After all, the safety of the base still needed further observation and judgment. Otherwise, it would only spread anxiety in vain.
The three of them discussed several mountain ranges and high places that seemed stable at the moment. If there were natural caves, that would be best. If not, they would have to dig their own. This would require personnel with metal and strength abilities to cope with the onset of extreme heat.
In order to meet several important factors such as sufficient insulation, high terrain, and stable mountains, their small base needs to have the following conditions:
Insulation: The base needs to have good thermal insulation properties, which can effectively block the external high and low temperatures and keep the internal temperature stable. Therefore, they need to choose a place that can be shielded from external interference such as sunlight, wind and snow.
High ground: The base should be built on high ground to maintain a relatively cool environment in extremely hot weather. At the same time, the high ground provides a wide field of vision, which is conducive to observing the surrounding environment and enemy situations.
Stable mountainous areas: Choosing a stable mountainous area as a base can help avoid natural disasters and other dangerous factors. Areas prone to landslides and collapses should be avoided.
It's best to have a water source, preferably one near your base, such as a river or lake. The importance of a water source is self-evident in extremely hot weather. If there's no water source, a water-based psychic is essential.
Concealment: The base should be well concealed to avoid being discovered by the enemy. When choosing a location, consider the surrounding natural conditions such as vegetation, rocks, and trees, as well as artificial facilities and buildings.
Easily defendable: A base should have good defensive capabilities to withstand possible attacks. When choosing a location, consider defensive conditions such as the surrounding terrain, obstacles, and fire points, as well as the base's own weapons, equipment, and personnel.
Taking all the above factors into consideration, the three men ultimately chose a location atop the main peak of a massive mountain near them as their base. While they had previously considered building a larger base, lowering the site criteria to accommodate a larger population would have made construction too difficult and increased safety risks. Therefore, they decided to choose a location that would both meet the base's needs and be relatively easy to build. Alternatively, they might choose to relocate the base. They could initially occupy advantageous terrain, achieving a location that was both far and near.
Obviously, there are more than one people in the base who have the same idea as them.
Indeed, there were more than one person in the base who shared this sentiment. Faced with the threat of "universal mutation" and the constant threat of a zombie horde, people began to realize the importance of finding a secluded and well-defended location to establish their base. This sentiment quickly spread and became a trend.
After the three of them decided on the general direction, they began selecting personnel. When it came to selecting personnel, Xiao Yi did trust the members of the Beidou team. Xiao Yi had great trust in the members of the Beidou team because they had trained together, fought side by side, and experienced life and death together. This experience had built a deep emotional bond and a foundation of mutual trust between them.
