Chapter 186 Setting off again
Fang Dengwen has initially completed their own communication and security network. There are security surveillance cameras within a hundred miles of Shicheng, and the network covers the entire Shicheng within a hundred miles.
While completing the infrastructure, they also did not forget to improve their personal abilities. With the help of the crystal core, all the psychics advanced. The large team was all at level three, while most of the others were at level two, with a few at level three.
It is a cause for celebration that these spirits are making progress and improving their abilities along with their masters.
Lebao no longer needs Jiang Xiang as a crutch and can run on his own with his short legs. The one and a half year old boy can speak fluently and his teeth are straight. Except for being still fair and tender like a little bun, everything else has changed. He can call mom and dad clearly, he doesn't drool anymore, he doesn't act cute anymore, and his foodie nature is hidden. He is definitely a smaller version of Ao Chengyi, behaving like his biological father all day long, pretending to be a little adult with a cold face.
In his own words, he has grown up and become a big boy, and can no longer be childish.
When he said this seriously, all the uncles and aunts were so cute.
The little boy held his forehead and sighed seriously, saying that it was wrong to be too cute.
Lan Shiruo was sure that the little thing was feeling proud.
Cui Zipeng, Huo Qingyun, Niuniu and Fang Tongtong formed a team. They are the four great kings around Xiao Lebao, who accompany Xiao Lebao to the sky and the earth and can do everything.
As the base was completed and the second comprehensive upgrade began, the cold wind stopped.
Overnight, the global temperature rose from fifty degrees below zero to forty degrees.
Many people died of heat in their dreams.
For several years, the temperature has been constant at 40 degrees Celsius during the day and 30 degrees Celsius at night, scorching the earth and causing the surface temperature to continue to rise.
Various diseases are spreading rapidly. People with special abilities are not so bad, but most ordinary people will die without knowing it.
The flowers, plants and trees scorched by acid rain could not withstand the scorching sun and turned into dust and drifted away.
In Shicheng and the base, everyone was impressed by Lan Shiruo's foresight and was glad that they had chosen the right path.
The big team is about to set off, they need to find supplies, energy and a long-term safe base.
In addition to the twelve members of the large team and their respective contracted partners, there is also Le Bao and his Four Heavenly Kings.
They were named Dragon Team, Phoenix Team and Cub Team respectively. Le Bao rejected the team names as they were not cool at all. However, his old mother was too powerful and he had no say and had no right to refuse.
As a whole, they are still called a big team.
A week after the high temperature began, the large group had left the Shicheng area. When they passed through the border town, it was deserted.
Without stopping, he drove away quickly in his homemade twelve-seat double-decker off-road vehicle.
The lower level is for the girls and boys, and the upper level is for the five children and the spirits. The car body is fully armed with anti-crash, anti-fall and anti-earthquake features. It can adapt to any road conditions, is comfortable, stable, and has powerful performance. It is a must-have for self-driving travel.
"Boss, sister-in-law, where are we going now?" Lu Chaoyang asked.
Lan Shiruo pondered for a moment and said, "Plan a route to the Cangzhou Cangyuan Mountains. It's best to pass through areas with abundant energy minerals. Detours are fine. There are plenty of supplies left at the base, so we can return later."
"Okay." The friends didn't ask why they were going to Cangzhou Cangyuan Mountains. They trusted and followed unconditionally.
The Cangyuan Mountains in Cangzhou were once the homeland of the Ao and Lan tribes. Cangzhou has many plateau mountains, primitive dense forests and a sparse population. It is a good place to live in seclusion, but it requires great abilities to survive in the deep mountains and dense forests.
The young couple discussed that the enemy behind them must be found. The enemy is in the dark, and they are too passive and unable to sleep or eat.
At present, they still don’t know what the person behind the scenes wants, is it the jade bracelet, the space, or Lebao who was born on the doomsday.
The corpses and mutated creatures have completed the survival of the fittest and successfully advanced overnight.
The large team encountered several zombies that could use superpowers on the road. Although their superpowers were the same as humans' first-level superpowers and seemed useless, they did not prevent humans from being alerted.
A year and a half later at the end of the world, everyone has adapted to it, and their respective territories and forces have been initially established. They no longer hide in a corner, but begin to expand outward and strengthen themselves.
In today's world, the strong are respected, and most people have the ambition to dominate the world.
The same is true for large teams. If you want to live more freely and do whatever you want than others, you must be above everyone else. You don’t have to bully the weak or act superior. You just need to make everyone listen carefully to what you say and dare not disobey.
Before nightfall, the large group failed to find a suitable place to stay in the town, so they passed by a desolate village, found a vacant lot, set up a villa, and let vines disguise it as other dilapidated houses, and the group stayed there.
It was much more difficult for Yunshui Yao to advance her illusion to the third stage than for others. After all, firstly, it was illusory, secondly, it was not often used, and thirdly, the same crystal core was rare. In order to keep up with the progress of her friends, she tried her best, but the results were gratifying. She could quietly trap people in the illusion she created with just a wave of her hand. The vines that had a contract with her also benefited from it and could emit a psychedelic smell on their own. The smell was very light and fresh, making it hard to guard against and making disguise easier.
The house was fumigated with special medicine to repel mosquitoes, and the large team rested in the house with peace of mind.
There is air conditioning in the room, so it is not uncomfortable even if the surface temperature outside exceeds 40 degrees. Air conditioners are very popular in shopping malls and factories. After Guo Zi's simple modification, they are more practical.
We cooked together, rested after eating, and had a very pleasant life.
At night, the whistling sound of the cold wind disappeared, replaced by the chirping of various insects and birds. After getting used to the sound of the wind, I felt very uncomfortable.
The various shouts were rapid and violent, making people who heard them also become violent.
"God damn it, this world is a mess! Go get some of you to clean up the abandoned house up ahead. We'll stay here to cover our retreat." A group of people held torches to disperse the cicadas that were flying towards them. The mutant cicadas wouldn't hurt anyone, but would just crash into them. Their goose egg-sized bodies would knock you unconscious.
This group of people passed through the woods in front and somehow provoked them, and were chased all the way here.
We spotted an abandoned house a hundred meters away from the main team, and six people went there to check it out. We found that it was still habitable and there was no danger inside.
The remaining people waved torches to drive away the mutant cicadas, hurried into the house and closed the door, thus escaping the disaster.
They were delayed on their mission and couldn't find a place to stay before dark. Fortunately, they didn't encounter any powerful corpses or mutants, but the ubiquitous mutant mosquitoes were too annoying. Living in a sealed reinforced concrete house, they could close the doors and windows tightly, but here, with drafts coming in from all sides, it was impossible. They had no choice but to spend a lot of money on mosquito repellent fumigation, but it was expensive and painful to use. Medicine in the apocalypse was always expensive, even for those with healing powers.
But you can't do without it. Mosquitoes are as big as quail eggs. One bite can suck out one or two pounds of your blood and leave a lump as big as an egg, which is extremely painful. If you are unlucky and encounter a poisonous mosquito, your entire skin and flesh will rot, and in serious cases, you may even lose your life.
After covering up all possible shelter, the group took out their portable air conditioners and sighed in unison, "Cool."
Human wisdom is endless. They are not as generous as Lan Shiruo who can carry the villa with her at any time, but they can still carry a small generator and air conditioner.
