"Plague? A monster!"
To be honest, what Nangong Liuli said at this moment was a bit beyond Su Luo's expectations. Su Luo guessed that, like the Noah Base in his previous life, the upper echelons of the base had differing views and used strange objects to eliminate dissidents.
But now it seems that it's not that simple.
In the previous life, the Noah base was probably not just due to internal discord at the top; the reasons behind it were probably similar to those behind the makeshift base.
“Yes.” Nangong Liuli said, recalling the scene she saw that night, which was comparable to hell on earth.
“Living people were twisted and disfigured before my eyes, their bodies contorted at unbelievable angles, turning into bizarre monsters!”
"The entire base was filled with wails. The humans who had turned into monsters began to attack the surrounding area, like the legendary horde of zombies, indiscriminately attacking any humans who came near or were not far away, tearing at their flesh and drinking their blood..."
"The humans who were bitten half to death, without knowing why, began to mutate and transform into those monsters, which then went on to attack others!"
"I rushed over to the base commander's office, only to find that the other base leaders, who were originally two hands and two feet, had all turned into various monsters, various monsters that still had some consciousness!"
"Compared to the monsters that blindly devoured everything outside, they seemed to have some consciousness. Their faces showed joy as they knelt and kowtowed towards the waning moon in the sky, as if in gratitude!"
"And in them, I saw two words."
"【alienation】."
"Alienation?!" Is this also caused by a talent skill?
What kind of talent is this that can reach this level? Can it turn humans directly into monsters?
"There's not much to say after that. I escaped with the remaining survivors who hadn't been infected!"
"When the base was being built, my father was worried, so he secretly built a tunnel leading to the outside world, and kept drinking water and food in the tunnel all year round."
"Only my father and I knew about this secret passage. Once my father left, only I knew about it."
This is a recap of how Su Luo led her people to escape, and even managed to take some supplies with her.
So that's how it is. No wonder he's a veteran in the business world; he's very meticulous. Perhaps from the day he set up the base, he already knew he would one day escape from it.
"Later, after we escaped, Moy and I risked going back once, but we saw the strange creature outside the base."
"A humanoid monster, only its back is visible. It is clear that the opponent is very powerful. All the monsters and people that ran out of the base were killed by it, and not a single one survived."
"Then we went to Noah's base for help, only to be kicked out."
Taking a deep breath, Nangong Liuli revealed everything she knew, which gave Su Luo quite a shock.
So, could this be the work of some kind of supernatural being?
[Alienation]? They want to turn all humans into those monsters?
Or perhaps these strange creatures were originally transformed from humans?
"I see."
Su Luo nodded, feeling an urgent need to become stronger; she needed to obtain the specific gene fluid from the eighth level as soon as possible!
"From now on, you should live here well, get familiar with the environment, and ask Hua Ge and the others, or Xiao Yi, if you don't understand anything."
Nangong Liuli nodded. Compared to the Fangcang base, this place was simply paradise on earth, the post-apocalyptic survival mode that his father had envisioned!
Nangong Liuli would never leave this place; in fact, she would help protect it.
Just like the father who protected her from the past!
'Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully acquired fifty-seven residents, including more than five with special talents. You have earned 1000 points.'
Hearing the system voice in his mind, Su Luo left the small house, took the subway to continue his journey to the Noah Base, and pondered Nangong Liuli's words.
It seems we need to speed things up.
We've just taken in fifty-seven residents, and there's still a gap of one hundred and fifty people before we can claim the title of "Prosperous Town"!
Oh, people!
Who could have imagined that one day we would face the difficulty of a manpower shortage!
Thankfully, Lin Shuyu didn't hear these words, otherwise she would have been so envious she would have fainted.
It's too Versailles!
Their base is almost always operating at the limit, and you actually say they're short-staffed? Comparing people is infuriating!
...
Lin Shuyu stood in front of the Noah Base's city gate. Although she didn't look around, her eyes were unusually anxious and intense as she stared at the distance from the main gate, making the soldiers who were asking questions at the main gate feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Can anyone tell him why Team Leader Lin suddenly ran to the main gate? He said he was here to patrol, but it feels more like he's waiting for someone.
Who is so influential that they can make Captain Lin come out and wait for them, and for most of the day?
Lin Shuyu was unaware of what his subordinates were thinking; he simply kept checking the time and sending messages to the communicator Su Luo had given him, which was hanging around his neck.
More than half a day has passed since the agreed time, and there is still no news from Miss Su. Although I know Su Luo is capable, I can't help but feel a little concerned.
"Captain, you go inside and rest for a bit, I'll wait for you!"
Zhang Miaomiao came out of the base while calling out, and handed Lin Shuyu a large steamed bun, saying, "Here you go."
Lin Shuyu: ...
"I'm not tired. You're still young and growing. You can eat this yourself!"
Looking at the steamed bun that was returned to her, Zhang Miaomiao laughed and said, "Captain, actually, I ate it before I came out."
"Sister Su is coming, and I can't stay still. I haven't seen her in so long, I wonder how she is!"
Since Su Luo took them to the warehouse in the Guishi Commercial Street of the provincial capital for a zero-yuan shopping spree, life at the Noah Base has improved. In addition, many people have begun to awaken their talents, and some with good conditions have been directly promoted and appointed to choose some easier dungeons to challenge, in which they can also obtain some resources.
Gradually, little by little, Noah's Base, while not as wealthy as Sulo's Hut, was able to protect itself.
However, this self-preservation is based on sacrificing something else.
Lin Shuyu glanced back at the outermost perimeter of the base, sighed, and reached out to place the steamed bun that Zhang Miaomiao had originally given him into the hands of the woman with a child closest to him.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Upon seeing the steamed bun, a hint of surprise flashed in the woman's eyes. She repeatedly kowtowed to Lin Shuyu in gratitude, then happily held up the bun and spoke joyfully to the child in her arms.
"Niannian, look! Mommy found some food! Niannian, get up quickly, Mommy will feed you!"
The woman spoke many times, but the child in her arms did not move at all. Even if the child was sleeping soundly, it should have responded!
This strange sight immediately drew the attention of Lin Shuyu and Zhang Miaomiao, who looked at the child in the woman's arms. They couldn't help but gasp.
There are no children.
It was nothing but a skinny skeleton, a corpse that had long since stopped breathing!
