Chapter 102 Preparing to Go to the Southern Base
"...So, you're coming out of the northern base and heading to the southern base?"
The girl ate duck neck and listened to the couple's story with wide eyes.
The man who was speaking looked at the duck neck that the girl was chewing and couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
It smells so good...
Now, 13 years have passed since the outbreak of the doomsday. The environment is becoming increasingly harsh, plants and animals are completely alienated, and dangers are everywhere.
Although the base cultivates its own vegetables and raises livestock, it is not known whether there is something wrong with the magnetic field of the entire earth. The vegetables grow very slowly and are very delicate. Livestock must be kept with care, as they may mutate if not careful.
So it must be placed in a special environment.
Therefore, 13 years later, food is still a rare hard currency in this doomsday.
This can ensure that most people in the base will not starve to death. After all, the base now basically makes all kinds of edible things into pancakes, even the shells are not spared.
Therefore, the taste is really not good.
so……
This little duck neck is simply a magical item for this couple!
If the man hadn't still been rational, he would have been unable to resist snatching it away.
After the apocalypse, as time passed, ordinary people gradually discovered that some changes had occurred in their bodies.
Becoming stronger and faster are the basics. As for how severe the transformation is, it depends on one's physique.
Of course, official research shows that if you train hard, the alienation of your body will be more obvious.
But not everyone can endure that kind of hardship, and it really depends on one's physical condition.
Therefore, although the girl in front of him looked thin and weak, the man did not underestimate her - what's more, this was the ruthless person who had just scolded the giant mutant bird away!
"Yes." The man tried hard to tear his eyes away from Duck Neck. "Because the southern base has more resources and better treatment. My wife is pregnant, and we hope our child will have a better environment after birth."
Hearing him say this, the girl finally turned her gaze to the short-haired woman's belly, then leaned closer, her face full of curiosity: "Hey, you have a baby?"
The short-haired woman nodded and smiled: "Yeah."
The girl tilted her head slightly, thought for a few seconds, and then took out a small strawberry sandwich from her cross-body bag. "Here, I'll give it to you. Consider it my reward for sharing all this information with me."
Looking at the delicious sandwich in front of them, the couple was stunned. The short-haired woman took the bread with trembling hands.
“Thank you…thank you!”
The couple thanked him repeatedly.
The girl waved her hand and turned to leave.
Alas, there is still so little news, no changes, boring.
She thought so.
"Um..." Seeing the girl about to leave, the man hesitated for a moment, but finally stopped her, "We want to go to the Southern Base. Besides the Southern Base being rich, it seems they're holding a Corps PK Tournament recently, and the rewards are said to be very generous!"
He felt that the girl seemed to be very interested in the affairs of various bases.
At a time when food is scarce, if you take a sandwich like that to the base and exchange it for ordinary bread, it can probably be exchanged for half a month's worth of food.
This girl should be quite strong, maybe she would be interested in PK competition?
"I heard that the champion team can get three high-level energy beads."
Energy beads refer to things that exist in the bodies of powerful mutant organisms.
This thing was discovered about three years ago, or it only began to appear three years ago.
Energy beads can be absorbed by humans, and after absorption they can enhance human strength.
But this thing is so rare that even a low-level energy bead is something that everyone is eager to get.
Of course, the man was very aware of his own strength. Moreover, as a newcomer, it would be difficult for him to join any good corps. This time he went there mainly to see the excitement and see if there was any corps with good benefits that he could join.
What if I could get a little bit?
After all, he had heard that some of the troops in the southern base were generous and liked to give out points and food when they were happy.
"Three high-level energy beads?"
When the girl heard about the reward, her eyes lit up instantly.
If she could get these three energy beads and let her mother absorb them, would her mother be able to wake up?
It has been 13 years. Although she feeds zombies every day and her mother's condition is getting better and better, and now she is no different from a living person and looks very young, there is still no sign of waking up.
She felt that perhaps it was just the finishing touch.
The probability of energy beads appearing is too low, so only because there are so many official people can they take out three high-level energy beads as rewards for the champion.
With this thought, the girl turned around again and looked at the two of them with a smile on her face: "I suddenly feel a little bored staying here for so long. I also want to go to the southern base to broaden my horizons. How about we go together?"
The couple: “…Huh?”
…
…
The next morning, the couple who were waiting for the girl at the foot of the mountain couldn't help but chat.
"Tell me, who is that girl? She lives here independently, not relying on the base, and yet she can produce so much food..."
The man in the driver's seat shook his head. "I don't know, but he's definitely a powerful one. Honey, don't ask too many questions along the way—although this girl is quite kind, masters like this usually have unpredictable tempers. They might be smiling at you one moment, and rip your heart out the next."
Short-haired woman: "..."
Do you have to say it so horribly?
As the couple was talking, there was a slight noise coming from the mountain, and then the voices of two people communicating gradually became clearer.
"...Miss, this is the first time you've traveled far away in years. You must be careful on the road! Don't trust everyone. Be cautious."
It was a man's voice, his tone full of respect and concern.
The couple in the car: ...Miss?
What an ancient name!
"Uncle Xiao, you've been talking about this since last night, and I really know what you're talking about. Don't worry! I'm not a fool!"
The young girl's helpless voice was then heard.
"I'm not saying you're naive, it's just that the world is dangerous and people's hearts are unpredictable."
The couple looked up and saw the girl from yesterday with a helpless look on her face, and next to her was a man in his thirties or forties who was nagging and giving instructions non-stop.
There was a black cat following at their feet.
Looking back, wow, there were a bunch of mutant animals following behind me, but I was keeping a distance from them.
The couple were both stunned.
this……
Although I thought that this girl's background was not simple, this was too scary!
Any one of those mutant animals following behind could easily kill them!
