Chapter 409: Xiongcheng Base



In just a few breaths, the rain became heavier, and the raindrops fell with the dust in the air, hitting the glass and forming mottled mud marks.

The bodyguard turned on the wipers, but the glass became blurrier and blurrier, until the entire windshield was covered in mud.

I had to spray some windshield washer fluid to see the road conditions clearly, but the rain was too heavy and the road was blocked again after just a few wipes.

In the end, He Xiaobei had no choice but to use his special abilities, but it was not a long-term solution. The bodyguard scanned the surroundings and finally chose a flat area to drive over.

After cleaning the car and putting it into the space, he took out the RV and went in again. At this time, the rain outside was getting heavier and the temperature was dropping rapidly.

He Xiaobei only took the time to eat and when he took out the thermometer to check again, the temperature outside had dropped to 43 degrees Celsius above zero.

For people who have experienced extremely hot weather for more than a year, this temperature is considered very cool.

At this time, the RV seemed to have been fished out of the mud at the bottom of the river. Looking out of the window, one could only see yellow mud rolling down.

Yi Neng cleaned the car window before he could see the situation outside clearly. There was still no water on the ground. The long-dry earth was eagerly absorbing the hard-earned rain, even if it was acid rain.

After three days of heavy rain, an unpleasant, complex odor began to fill the air, visibility returned to normal, and the air even seemed a lot cleaner.

The heavy rain gradually stopped after five days. He Xiaobei looked outside and saw that the clouds were gradually dispersing and the blue sky could be seen faintly.

It was a rare good day, and the heavy rain over the past few days had caused the temperature to drop completely. The temperature outside had reached 32°C above zero.

The weather in September actually gave me a bit of the cool autumn air.

He Xiaobei hit the road again. Most of the routes planned by the bodyguards were roads taken before the natural disaster. When it was extremely hot, the road surface melted and could not be walked on, but it was indeed possible now.

However, after so many years of natural disasters, the road surface is almost intact, but it is better than walking in the wilderness after all.

There were still no survivors along the way. It was not until he was about 70 kilometers away from Hans' base that He Xiaobei met a living person.

Looking at her lively fellow creatures, she even felt a sense of familiarity, but since they were about to arrive at the base, she had no plans to go down and say hello.

She just opened the car window and stared at these people with her bright eyes, which made them look frightened. They would shout and run away after facing her for more than ten seconds.

He Xiaobei had to take out the simultaneous translator, only then did she realize that it was probably because her gaze was too hot that these people thought she was an ogre, so they kept their distance from her.

"What a pity."

By evening, He Xiaobei had arrived at the outskirts of Hans's base.

When she looked up, she was still surprised at the majestic wall that was more than 20 meters high. This was not a base, it was simply a refuge fortress.

It must be very strong as it still stands after so many years of natural disasters.

Outside the fortress is a large area of ​​shacks, and in the middle of the shacks there are several rows of low buildings.

A group of ragged people carrying baskets or pulling carts were walking back and forth on the road. Her car drove all the way towards the gate of the base, but she only saw one other car on the road.

He Xiaobei felt it was a bit strange. How could such a large base look so poor?

When we arrived at the gate of the base, we saw several sentry boxes from afar. Soldiers with guns were gathered in groups of three or four chatting.

Seeing her car approaching, a soldier first looked at her for a few seconds, then ran out to her car. The bodyguard lowered the window, and the soldier looked flattering:

"Dear Sir and Madam, please show us your ID."

ID?

He Xiaobei smiled back, as if she wasn't the one who had killed so many people and dug up their research base. Her eyes were extremely friendly.

"I don't have any ID. It's my first time here. How much do I need to pay to enter?"

The soldier's expression changed in an instant after hearing what she said, and he glanced suspiciously at her and the bodyguard.

"No ID? Then which adult invited you here? An invitation letter will also do."

Invitation letter?

He Xiaobei was a little confused. What kind of rule was this?

Don't want supplies?

"No invitation either?"

After saying this, the soldier's suspicious expression disappeared, and turned into full of disgust. He waved his hand at her:

"Our Bear City base does not accept foreign survivors."

"Even paying for supplies is not an option?"

The soldier sneered:

"No, leave now and don't block here, otherwise we will regard it as a provocation."
