The people he sent were all absolutely trustworthy confidants, and some of them were even from Lu Jin'an's Longyan Squad.
These people didn't abandon their mission or run away halfway. Since they failed to reach the Haishi base, they must have encountered some trouble.
Lu Chen looked disappointed and added, "In addition, I have asked the maritime base to help find Li Yiyuan's whereabouts."
"He's not at the base?" Xin'er was a little surprised. She thought that since Li Yiyuan was going to bring those people from the orphanage, he should have entered the base long ago.
Lu Chen shook his head. "Three days ago, his team went out to collect supplies and never came back."
He had a feeling that Li Yiyuan was very likely the person he had been looking for all these years.
His absence meant unexpected danger, and he dared not think about it...
Xin'er had no feeling whatsoever about Li Yiyuan's life or death.
After their falling out, he had remained a stranger to them. Seeing Lu Chen looking somewhat sad, Xin'er still offered a word of comfort.
"Perhaps they just went a bit too far. As for the people you sent, now that communications have been restored, if there is any real danger, they will definitely try to contact you."
Lu Chen nodded, feeling slightly better.
"I hope he's alright. As long as the people from Longyan are still alive, they'll definitely find a way to contact me."
After leaving Lu Chen, Xin'er returned to the supermarket and set up her teleportation array.
Thinking about opening shops in various places in the future, and that the only way to replenish supplies would be through her space, even though she was fast, she couldn't keep up with running around every day.
Setting up teleportation arrays in various locations would make things much more convenient.
In the warehouse on the second floor of the main store, a special space was set aside. Xin'er took out the cinnabar she had prepared and began to draw an array on the ground using her soul power.
After the drawing was completed, 12 secondary crystal cores were placed at the base of the array according to their positions, and a 3rd level crystal core was placed at the center of the array.
The higher the crystal core level, the longer the energy it contains can support the formation, and the farther the transmission distance.
The moment the array core was placed, a golden light flashed in the room. Then, the red characters and the core that were originally on the ground were all hidden, leaving the ground empty.
Xin'er knew this was Zhen Cheng's reaction, and patted the remaining cinnabar on her hands.
"Perfect~"
She went out and greeted Carl and Tan Jingrui.
"I'll keep that empty space on the second floor for myself. I'm going to Anshi. You guys keep an eye on things here. Contact me by phone if anything comes up."
It's not enough to just set up this side; she also needs to set up the other point of the teleportation to connect the two points into a teleportation line.
The teleportation array wasn't activated yet, and even if someone walked on it or placed something there, nothing would happen in the area she had just set up.
She greeted the two of them in case they were among a pile of supplies when she returned.
Having just set up the formation, which had consumed a lot of her soul power, Xin'er was a little tired. Instead of traveling on her own, she threw her shapeshifting white horse, Buhei, out of her spatial storage.
She fell asleep on the back of the Pegasus, and when she woke up, they had arrived at their destination.
Using his soul power, he searched the base and actually found Qin Siye and Qian Leduo.
Having spent the past few weeks in S City and Xinghuo Base, Xin'er now realizes the true extent of the gap when she sees An City Base.
I knew it was bad, but I didn't expect it to be this bad. It's more like a refugee camp than a base.
Plastic sheds were erected everywhere, with a dozen or twenty people crammed into each shed.
Some were even worse off, without even a shelter from the wind and rain, sleeping directly on the ground in the open air.
The child in the woman's arms was so thin he was just skin and bones, his large head drooping on his mother's shoulder, as if his neck might break from the weight of his head at any moment.
An elderly person was huddled in a corner, groaning in pain from various ailments.
Some were so weak they seemed about to die at any moment.
When no one was around, Xin'er put Buhei into her spatial storage and walked towards the base entrance.
Even from a distance, the stench emanating from inside was palpable, no better than the rotting zombies outside.
She decisively took out a mask and put it on, while using her soul power to search for Qin Siye and Qian Leduo within the base.
A few days ago, the two of them were sent directly to the Anshi base. Anshi and Nanshi are very close, only about an hour's drive apart. If nothing unexpected happens, they should already be in Anshi by now.
Xin'er was dressed in a tracksuit, looking as clean as someone from before the apocalypse, making her quite conspicuous on the street.
People were already watching her curiously from afar.
The main gate of the Anshi base is a double iron gate about four meters high and three meters wide. At this moment, only one small door, large enough for a person to pass through, is open.
Two iron student desks were placed outside the door, and two middle-aged women wearing yellow community coats were sitting there, taking charge of registration.
There were roadblocks set up 10 meters away from the entrance.
Twenty guards stood scattered around this location, constantly watching for approaching groups. They were dressed in various uniforms: firefighters, police officers, military training uniforms, and even security guard uniforms…
However, these people all had one thing in common: their complexions were sallow, and they all looked severely malnourished.
What are the procedures for entering the base?
Xin'er stood outside the roadblock and questioned a young man inside who was holding a gun and watching her warily.
The young man asked in surprise, "You've never been inside the base before?"
"I'm from S City, and I've never been to the An City base before."
"Are you alone?"
The young man looked into the distance, searching for her companion.
This woman looks so clean; she doesn't seem like someone who's actually dressed scantily.
Besides, getting here from City S is not something one person can do alone.
