"What did you say? There are 5,000 survivors on the seabed who need to return to land." Jiang Lin frowned. "Have you thought about where these people should go? The seaside base can't accommodate so many people."
"There are unused bases in City B." Shen Xu said, "More than one. I plan to give you Base A. It's the best base in City B and has more complete facilities than here."
"But I hope you can provide some help at the beginning." Shen Xu looked at Jiang Lin. This condition was the most tempting one he could think of at the moment.
Shen Xu's words moved Jiang Lin. In addition to a base with complete facilities, what attracted Jiang Lin the most was probably that in City B, he might be able to get away from Shenmu for a while.
Although everyone lives a peaceful life every day, they are all worried that the sacred tree will come back one day.
Jiang Lin nodded: "I can accept this condition, but I need to discuss it with everyone." During this time at the seaside base.
Wen Tingjun has basically handed over the highest decision-making power to her, but after moving to City B, Jiang Lin wants to hear other people's opinions.
"I think it's possible. The mutant creatures over there are basically in the open, and it's not too difficult for us to deal with them. The disadvantage is that the situation in City B is still not very clear." Wen Yan frowned and thought for a while.
It would be difficult for them to build bases of similar size to the First Base on the seashore in a short period of time. But now Shen Xu said that there is a ready-made one in City B, which is hard not to be tempted.
Cui Yawen also nodded. The seaside base could provide basic living needs, but for advanced research institutes, the previous one would definitely be more complete.
Jiang Lin sat on the chair, and everyone was more inclined to move to City B.
Only Sheng Wei sat silently in her seat. She didn't care where she went, but compared to City B, she found that she actually had some feelings for City A.
Jiang Lin noticed her expression, and after the meeting, she walked behind Sheng Wei.
"We will come back again. When the end of the world is over one day, we can go anywhere." Jiang Lin's voice made Sheng Wei stop in surprise.
Sheng Wei recalled the first time they met Jiang Lin. Under his cold appearance, he was always warm and delicate.
"It doesn't matter where we go as long as we're with you guys." Sheng smiled. In the current situation, as long as the familiar people are still alive, it really doesn't matter where he goes.
"I need to have a good rest these days. The mutant creatures in City B are really everywhere." Jiang Lin got a headache when he thought of the quiet city with green moss creatures everywhere.
Chen Xu said that the submarine base personnel would be disembarking the day after tomorrow. If they wanted to leave, they would have to start packing within the next few days.
The people at the base started to get busy. After living here for a while, everyone had some luggage to take with them.
But what Jiang Lin didn't expect was that her mortal enemy Shenmu had the same idea as she did.
"I'm just wondering why you want to go to City B. There are still many territories in City A that we haven't set foot on." Chen Guanghai was puzzled by Shenmu's choice of location for his next clone.
"With Jiang Lin in City A, development is always restricted, but she is not aware of the situation in City B."
"I want to develop in the cities around City A that she can't reach first. Then City A will become an isolated island with no help." The branches of the sacred tree stretched into the distance, as if it had really seen that day.
"So, we are going to City B?" Li Qi sat on the side, her expression showing no emotion.
Chen Guanghai glanced at her. Li Qi no longer had the same flamboyant feeling as before. Instead, she became more difficult to guess. Chen Guanghai could no longer tell her true thoughts.
"It's not you, it's me."
"You just need to stay in City A and confuse Jiang Lin, while I will slowly parasitize City B." Shenmu didn't want Jiang Lin to find out so quickly that he was parasitizing the neighboring city.
Chen Guanghai and Li Qi are the decoys it uses to stay in City A.
Jiang Lin would never have thought that she would give up City A and go to parasitize City B first.
"Take this, I don't want this, take this too..." Jiang Lin was choosing what to take away in his little room.
110: [Host, all of these things of yours can be exchanged in the system mall. You don't lack batteries right now.] The system couldn't figure out what Jiang Lin was worried about.
"That's what I say, but after using it for a long time, I have developed feelings for it. Besides, it would seem weird if I don't bring anything with me." Jiang Lin said thoughtfully.
[I think you've always been weird in other people's eyes.] The 110 machine voice was speechless. Jiang Lin had nothing unusual about him, not least the fact that he didn't have a package.
"Shut up now." Jiang Lin chatted with the system while cleaning up.
"Knock knock." There was a knock on the door, accompanied by Wen Yan's voice: "Do you want me to help you move your things to the car?" In the past few days, the base had already put everyone's packages on an earthquake vehicle in advance.
"Okay, it'll be ready soon." Jiang Lin put the last ugly-cute bowl into his backpack.
110 was speechless about this. It didn't know how Jiang Lin found this ugly thing in the mall and loved it so deeply.
Jiang Lin opened the door and saw that Wen Yan had very little luggage, just a thin backpack.
"That's all you brought?" Jiang Lin was a little surprised. In this apocalyptic world where supplies are so scarce, everyone's packages are bulging with junk collected from everywhere.
Wen Yan's things seemed particularly few.
"Yes, I only brought the necessary changes of clothes. There's not much else." Wen Yan took Jiang Lin's big bag and said, "Then I'll go down first."
[Tsk tsk tsk, you should learn from them.] 110 was very satisfied with Wen Yan's package.
Jiang Lin ignored it: "I noticed that you haven't urged me to dig batteries for a long time." To be precise, 110 has not urged her since the First Base provided her with a stable supply of batteries.
But when she exchanged recently, she found that many things had been reduced in price, and she now has a very generous balance in the system mall.
[I already have enough energy.] It didn't continue. Originally, after it had enough energy, it could have simply left this world and left the shell of a shopping mall to Jiang Lin.
But 110 inexplicably wanted to see Jiang Lin finally reach that step. He was just curious about it, and it was definitely not because he couldn't bear to part with her.
The system silently convinces itself in its heart.
However, Jiang Lin could not hear any of this. After packing up her things, the original small house seemed even more empty. She felt a little uncomfortable, so she simply went out for a walk.
It was dusk outside, and the sunset over the sea was particularly beautiful, especially today when the sun was so bright. Many people came out to see the orange sunset glow in the sky.
Tang Xiaoyan came over from behind: "Everything is packed."
Jiang Lin nodded: "The sunset is so beautiful today." They can prepare to evacuate City A tomorrow.
Tang Xiaoyan: "Well, it is indeed beautiful. But there is a very urgent matter when we arrive in City B. The current experimental equipment is limited, but when I check the sea water."
"We've discovered that the seawater is indeed a little different. We'll have to wait until the research institute in City B takes a closer look to see if anything has changed."
Tang Xiaoyan's words inexplicably reminded Jiang Lin of Xie Anran's prophecy, in which she said the sea would be as dark as death. Looking at the now azure coastline, Jiang Lin wondered if that day would ever come.
"If the sea also collapses, then is there any truly safe place?" Jiang Lin muttered to himself without looking at Tang Xiaoyan.
"There is no absolutely safe place. I think the people in the underwater survivor base will have to go ashore sooner or later." Tang Xiaoyan didn't know much about Xie Anran.
But her keen understanding of experimental data told her that the ocean was definitely changing slowly in places they could not detect.
"Chen Wei, are you sure you don't want to go up with us?" The decision-making group of the underwater survivor base looked at the woman with a lazy expression.
"Of course, I'm not interested in going up there and suffering." Shen Wei touched her well-maintained long hair. It took her a lot of effort to keep this long hair in the apocalypse.
Most of the decision-making group chose to follow Shen Xu back to land. Shen Wei was one of the few who insisted on staying at the survivors' base.
Of course, she is not alone. A considerable number of ordinary people are also unwilling to return to land.
Seeing that Chen Wei didn't want to talk, the people in the decision-making group stopped asking and started discussing the preparations needed to go ashore and what they needed to bring.
"If you ask me, it's better for you to travel light. The base on land has been activated, and there will be no shortage of supplies. If it's really not enough, send a radio to the bottom of the sea, or come back to get it." Shen Wei shook the pen in his hand.
She was a person who valued enjoyment above all else, and she didn't quite understand why Chen Xu would give up his peaceful life under the sea and return to land.
She had heard that the mutated plants there were very ferocious and not much better than zombies.
But it’s good that so many people have left, because this way the entertainment venues in the underwater base will be free and there will be no need to queue like before.
Shen Wei’s mind was filled with her happy life after there were fewer people around.
"Is Chen Xu sure he will come back to take us ashore?" asked a member of the decision-making group.
Everyone was silent for a while. Ever since Chen Xu led the people of City B to evacuate to the underwater survivor base, he has been the spiritual pillar of many people.
The decision-making team understood that many people wanted to get ashore only because they were used to relying on Shen Mo.
"Who cares if he comes or not? It's not like there are no people who can drive a submarine." Shen Wei said speechlessly. Whether Shen Xu comes or not will not affect everyone's going ashore at all.
"If he is here, he will reassure the people. Don't worry, he and Song Si have sent a radio message, and they will definitely come down to pick everyone up." Song Siming's words made everyone feel a lot more at ease.
On land, Shen Xu and Song Si were also preparing to don their diving suits and return to the underwater base tomorrow. The small submarine that brought them up was currently not far below the surface of City B.
But the ocean was full of dangers, and they could not be sure of arriving safely until the last moment.
