After sending a group of people to the base, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen rescued several more groups of people, totaling about two hundred, most of whom were people with superpowers.
In addition, Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen have stockpiled a lot of supplies in the past two days, mainly natural gas and oil, which are consumables and almost non-renewable.
Whether it's for daily power generation or starting up machinery, these are indispensable.
And then there's clothing.
When Ye Ning was stockpiling goods, she did stockpile a lot of clothes, but apart from what she and Jing Chen had, the rest of the clothes amounted to only a dozen tons.
It may sound like a lot, but the expansion of the base far exceeded her imagination. The annual consumption of clothing by several hundred people is also a considerable amount.
Fortunately, Jingchen had saved a map of the entire city of A, and by following the map, he found a clothing wholesale market.
After the apocalypse, most people were looting food, and not many people were taking clothes, so the clothes inside were very well preserved.
It has all kinds of varieties.
Ye Ning focused on stockpiling underwear, thermal underwear, long underwear, socks, pajamas, and cotton-padded clothes for home.
Of course, down jackets are also indispensable.
There are also shoes, from cotton slippers for home use to snow boots and all kinds of sneakers.
What's even more amazing is that Ye Ning also found several stores that specialize in selling fur and bought them all at once.
Along the way, they also found some large supermarkets, and Ye Ning didn't forget to go in and take a look. The food sections inside had basically been emptied.
However, the living area was still basically intact, and Ye Ning accepted everything without hesitation, including shampoo and shower gel.
Of course, there were also some small supermarkets that hadn't been discovered by others, and Ye Ning bought them all as well.
In just two or three days, they managed to collect over a hundred tons of supplies.
"Jingchen, look over there! We already walked this way yesterday!" Ye Ning pointed to the southeast.
“But that area used to be a high-tech zone, and it hasn’t been developed much yet, so it’s sparsely populated.” Xiao Jingchen frowned.
"Who cares! Let's go see if there are any survivors," Ye Ning said nonchalantly.
"Alright then!" Xiao Jingchen changed direction and flew southeast.
In the southeast of City A, there is a large area of low-rise villas, as well as some buildings that look like laboratories.
Before the apocalypse, this area was an industrial park focused on scientific and technological research.
"Jingchen, do you think there might be some high-tech products down there that we don't know about?" Ye Ning hesitated, wondering if she should go down and look for them.
"I don't know, but it probably will!" He was very skeptical about whether technology would still be useful in the era of superpowers.
"Jingchen, look over there, isn't someone waving?!" Ye Ning pointed to a small black dot in the distance.
"Is someone waving?" Xiao Jingchen flew in that direction.
"It seems so!" Ye Ning put down her binoculars.
"Jingchen, drive faster! Let's hurry over and take a look!" Ye Ning said anxiously to Xiao Jingchen.
"Alright!" Xiao Jingchen began to accelerate, and the helicopter roared away.
At that moment, on a rooftop below, a gray-haired man was leading four or five young men in their early twenties in a desperate struggle. He was waving frantically at the helicopter, as if beckoning to hope.
This is a three-story building, and downstairs, a vine as thick as a python is winding its way to block the zombies, like an indestructible green barrier.
"Here! Here!" they shouted as they jumped up, trying to attract the helicopter's attention.
"Professor Chen, do you really think they will come to rescue us?" a female student asked somewhat uncertainly.
During this period of time, they have experienced too much, and they are no longer sure that someone will come to rescue them.
"Don't worry, they'll definitely come!" Professor Chen took a drag of his cigarette, the smoke obscuring his expression, but his tone was full of confidence.
These words gave his students confidence, and their eyes lit up again as they continued to shout at the top of their lungs.
"Professor Chen, it looks like they're coming!" a sharp-eyed male student shouted excitedly.
"I saw it too! I saw it too! It looks like they're really coming!" Another female student saw it too, and her excitement was just like that of the male student above.
Professor Chen looked closely and began to get excited; it turned out that someone had really come to rescue them.
As everyone eagerly awaited, the helicopter, like an elegant white dove, landed steadily in front of them.
The cabin door slowly opened, as if a mysterious scroll were slowly unfolding, and a handsome man and a beautiful woman stepped out of the helicopter.
That's right, it was Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen.
Compared to the other eager survivors, these few people appeared remarkably reserved.
"Hello! My name is Chen Junlai. I'm one of their teachers. We've been trapped here for quite some time. Are you here to help us?" Professor Chen greeted them.
"We were just passing by when we happened to see you waving!"
Professor Chen and the others' eyes dimmed slightly.
“There are zombies everywhere now, and staying here isn’t a solution. Why don’t you come back to the base with me first? We can discuss where you want to go later!” Ye Ning knew that she had to give these intellectuals the power of choice.
“Alright!” Professor Chen glanced at his students. He was getting old, but these were his prized students. As long as they could all survive, their research could continue.
"Thank you so much!"
"Alright! Time is of the essence! Everyone, let's get on the helicopter first, and then we can get to know each other slowly once we're on board!" Ye Ning quickly urged them to board the helicopter.
Professor Chen raised his leg as if to step onto the helicopter, but hesitated, as if he wanted to say something.
Ye Ning keenly noticed his unusual behavior. "Just say what's on your mind!"
"Um! Can I go back to the lab to get some things?" Professor Chen asked hesitantly, knowing that time was tight and feeling a little embarrassed.
"Getting things? How long will that take?"
"There's a cabinet in my room filled with some mutated plants that I've been researching." Professor Chen hesitated, feeling reluctant to just abandon them, but he was also afraid the other party wouldn't agree.
Upon hearing the words "mutant plant," Ye Ning's heart stirred.
"What kind of mutated plant? Is it similar to the green vine below?" If there could be a plant wall that could automatically repel zombies, that would be great.
"Yes! The green vines below are cultivated from mutated plants. Of course, there are some other kinds as well?"
"Our teacher is an authority on botany in City A."
