Chapter 423: The Sun is Setting
There was no way to find the evil demon, and there was no point in Fang Yuxin and the other two staying in Lvyun County any longer, so they decided to leave this place first.
Fang Yuyang asked the other two: "Where are you going next?"
Bai Ye thought about it and asked instead of answering: "Xinxin, tell me your idea first. Anyway, I will go wherever you say to go."
Fang Yuxin was seriously asking for his opinion, but suddenly heard such a confession, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and subconsciously looked at Fang Yuyang. This time, Fang Yuyang did not deliberately squeeze Bai Ye, but turned his head away and pretended that he did not see anything.
Seeing that he was obviously avoiding the question, Fang Yuxin said, "This is what I think. Qiu Yiming couldn't have come to the Bei City base for no reason. He came all the way here with people. Could it be that something went wrong in the Shang City base?"
In fact, when Fang Yuxin learned that Qiu Yiming came to Beishi Base, she was no less shocked than Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang, because she remembered that at this time in her previous life, Qiu Yiming was still in Shangshi Base and had not come to Beishi at all. At that time, Qiu Yiming had become the number one person in Shangshi with his thunder ability and the assistance of Fang Mengyao, and he almost controlled the entire Shangshi Base, which was quite impressive.
But now, he actually came to Bei City Base! Could it be that something unexpected happened in Shang City? Fang Yuxin guessed various possibilities, but she didn't expect that Qiu Yiming actually came to Bei City Base for her.
Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang had guessed this possibility, but how could they tell Fang Yuxin? Fang Yuxin had finally separated from Qiu Yiming, and if she knew about this, what would happen if something happened between her and Qiu Yiming?
Although Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang usually dislike each other, their attitudes are unusually consistent on this matter, and neither of them wants Fang Yuxin to have any relationship with Qiu Yiming anymore.
Fang Yuyang thought for a while and said, "In that case, let's go to the Shangshi base and take a look." Bai Ye also nodded. In his opinion, no matter where they go, as long as they stay away from the Beishi base where Qiu Yiming is!
After the three of them made their decision, they prepared to hit the road. Fang Yuxin, Angela, and Bai Er were all released and rode on with Bai Ye. Fang Yuyang also stood on Wu Jin's back and headed for the Shangshi base.
On the way, Fang Yuxin said worriedly, "I don't know if my parents received the paper crane message I sent yesterday." After discovering the "evil demon" yesterday, Fang Yuxin sent the message back to the Hope Base through the paper crane. At the same time, he also mentioned the Bay City Base, especially what happened to the White Wolf Mercenary Group.
Bai Ye silently calculated the time and comforted him, "It's okay. As long as there are no accidents on the road, we will definitely arrive soon."
The three of them were worried about the condition of the Shangshi base, so they didn't stop much and went straight to Shangshi along the highway. Angela and Bai Er were mutant beasts, so unlike cars, they didn't have to worry about the road being damaged and unable to pass. They rushed all the way and arrived at Shangshi in just one day and one night.
At first glance, nothing seemed to have happened here. Although large areas of ruins could be seen everywhere, there was nothing else to be seen. It didn't look like a major accident had occurred that left people unable to survive.
The three of them became suspicious, so they decided to sneak into the Shangshi base. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar building from a distance, the three of them felt extremely complicated, especially Fang Yuxin, who had memories of her past life. Judging from the protective wall, the Shangshi base at this time was not much different from her past life. Standing here, she couldn't help but have the illusion of returning to her past life.
However, the warmth from her palm clearly told her that this was not her miserable past life. She turned her head to look at Fang Yuyang, looking at his ordinary but still dignified face, thinking of her parents who were far away in the Hope Base but safe and happy, and feeling the scorching heat from Bai Ye's palm, she couldn't help but smile easily.
Yes, she is no longer the Fang Yuxin in her previous life who could not awaken her superpowers, watched her parents die for her, and practiced swordsmanship hard because she didn't want to be a burden to Fang Yuyang. Although she died with hatred, she had the opportunity to be reborn and rewrite her own destiny. Not only did she keep the jade jewelry her father gave her, she also recognized Qingmu Lingfu as her master and obtained a complete set of immortal cultivation inheritance.
From that time on, her fate had changed completely. Even though the commercial base in front of her was similar to the one in her previous life, it was no longer the place that had caused her pain in her previous life.
With a confident smile, Fang Yuxin firmly grasped Bai Ye's palm, and then the three of them disguised themselves as supernatural beings from other places and sneaked into the Shangshi base. Although the Shangshi base has also developed into a medium-sized base, it is still not comparable to Beishi. Beishi base has Zhao Qiankun, an anomaly, who has developed many equipment that surpasses current technology through his research institute, making the Beishi base develop rapidly.
However, after entering the commercial base, the three of them had a vague feeling that their days were numbered. Although the commercial base had blood test strips, there were no communicators or instruments that could detect superpowers. Although there were various shops on both sides of the street, due to the lack of food in the base, these shops were deserted.
Not only that, there are a large number of ordinary people in this base. You can occasionally meet some of them on the street. At first glance, these people are all pale and thin, obviously in a state of hunger for a long time. Although the situation of the superpowers is slightly better, they are still not living well.
Fang Yuxin deliberately released her spiritual sense to explore the farmlands in the base. She found that all the farmlands in the base were actually protected. Not only were greenhouses built, but there were also wood-type psychics responsible for monitoring the growth of crops. Once they found that the crops were not growing well, they would use their psychics to stimulate their growth.
Obviously, the people in the base have been doing their best to grow food, and they are not doing nothing. It's a pity that the population here is too large and there is not much farmland. Even if it is a wood-type ability user, it is impossible to use the ability to ripen the food all the time. If this continues, I'm afraid that the base will be in chaos before the people in the base starve to death.
However, the situation here is so bad that it is hard to judge whether Qiu Yiming was right or wrong to take people away from Shangshi Base to Beishi Base. After all, he took away a large number of superpowers, so the defense of Shangshi Base would be weakened, but without those people, Shangshi Base would need to feed fewer people, which could be considered as relieving pressure on Shangshi Base.
The three of them walked around the base. Because the conditions here were so bad, they couldn't even find a place to live. The situation was even worse than the Bei City base. However, the Fang family's villa was still empty because of the formation set up, so no one could break in.
Fang Yuxin thought about the food piled in the warehouse, and simply set up a small barrier, then said to Fang Yuyang and Bai Ye: "I still have a lot of food, I plan to sell it to them, what do you think?"
These grains were collected by her from the warehouse of the food trading city. The quantity was quite huge. Even after the establishment of the Hope Corps, she became a member of the logistics team, but she did not give out too much grain. It was not that she was reluctant, but at the beginning everyone was still on guard against each other. If she was too generous, others might take advantage of them!
Later, they arrived in Long Province, which was a grain producing area with abundant grain reserves, so there was no shortage of grain even in the end times. In addition, after they took over the base, the base had been developing steadily, and both the farms and the breeding farms had been harvesting, so naturally, there was no need for the grain in her hands.
Now it seems that she had taken away a large amount of food from the food trading city in the commercial city. Now, it is her turn to hand over the food to the survivors of these commercial cities.
Of course, giving it away for free is definitely not an option. It’s not that she is stingy, but if she really gave it away for free, who knows what the people here would imagine.
Fang Yuyang and Bai Ye naturally had no objection. They both knew the situation of the base and did not need the food in Fang Yuxin's hands at the moment. But for the people in the Shangshi base, these foods were life-saving things!
So Bai Ye took Fang Yuxin's hand and said, "The people here are in need of food. Since you are willing to give us the food, just do what you want. I have no objection." As long as it was Fang Yuxin's decision, he would support it. What's more, the food was not originally his.
Fang Yuyang also nodded and suggested: "How about this, we first find a big truck, then ram the grain onto it, and pretend that we are coming from another place to do business."
This is a good idea. It’s the end of the world now and communications between bases have been cut off. Even if they do this, other people won’t know that they appeared out of nowhere.
The three of them did what they thought, and left the base directly, preparing to go to the city to find a large truck to load the goods. When leaving, Fang Yuxin couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it was a pity that she had put a lot of things in her space, but she didn't put a large truck in, and now she had to find one again.
Just as they left the base to look for a large truck, the top executives of the Shangshi base were gathering together to discuss how to solve the current food crisis.
Originally, they thought that the neighboring city was a grain producing area, and there should be a lot of grain reserves. But when they sent people to buy food, they only gave out a ton of food perfunctorily. How could it be enough to eat? You know, there are hundreds of thousands of people in the base!
But the other party refused to give out more food, and they had no other choice. They couldn't just take people to rob. But at this time, the Qiu family took tens of thousands of people away from the Shangshi base, making the base much weaker than before!
