Chapter 282 The Situation of the Base
"When we met them, we were in K City, in a laboratory where evil people were using children for live experiments. Our entire biology team was captured and imprisoned there. They killed a relative every day and forced the biology experiment team to join them. We kept refusing to comply, and just when we were about to give up, Shui Yao and the others came. They came to save those innocent children, and they also saved us. In order for us to successfully escape, they were responsible for luring the enemy away, and we brought the children to Shicheng. If it weren't for them, our group might have already committed suicide. The days of imprisonment were really too torturous. Watching relatives and friends die every day was really hard. But we could only watch. That feeling of powerlessness is heartbreaking when I think about it now."
Qin Siyu couldn't help but tear up when she recalled the past. She was really scared at that time, afraid that the next one would be her son, afraid that the next one would be her husband. She would rather it be herself than anyone else around her.
Miao's mother took Qin Siyu's hand and patted it gently. "It's all in the past. From now on, everything will be fine. Come quickly, we've arrived at the room, right here. Take a look and write down what you need. We'll go to the storeroom to pick it out when the time comes. I only gave each of you a set of clothes to change into. For the rest, you can go to the storeroom and pick out what you like. These things were left behind by those kids. Feel free to pick, there's a lot."
"Thank you, everyone."
"Don't talk about that. We are all family. Go wash up. I'll take you to the cafeteria after you're done. Put your clothes downstairs first. There's a tap there where you can wash clothes. The tap contains groundwater. Feel free to use it as long as it's not wasted."
"Is there still groundwater here?" Yun Zi asked. She had been listening to their conversation the entire way, and it hurt her heart. She knew how much her sister, whom she had raised, had endured. But now the temperature was high, and even if the water source was restored, many places outside wouldn't have water. How could there be such abundant groundwater here?
"Yes," Miao Ma smiled. "Behind the three mountains of our base is a wetland forest with abundant groundwater. We chose this place as our base because of the terrain. It's sparsely populated, the mountains are steep, and it's easy to defend but difficult to attack. It's difficult for birds and beasts to attack. Secondly, it's because of the groundwater. But this is not a permanent place to live after all. Before Lan Yatou left, she asked us to clear a path through the mountain behind and wait for them to come back and explore the back to see if it's suitable for living. If not, we'll have to find a new safe base. However, we won't be moving anytime soon. You can just stay here and rest for a few days. Once Yibing arranges a place, you can do what you like."
Yunzi Qin Siyu was amazed. Yunshui Yao's team was really courageous. "Okay."
After washing up, the two followed Miao's mother to the cafeteria. It was dinner time and many people came here to eat.
"Meals are available 24 hours a day because some people need to take turns coming back to eat, and some are tired from work and get hungry quickly. Lan Yatou said that as long as you don't waste anything, you can eat as much as you want. Only when you are full will you have the strength to work. The meals here are packed in portions. You go and get them yourself. You must finish them. Those who are not full can take more. After eating, put the plates together. Everyone is very conscious and knows that it is the end of the world and supplies are in short supply. Everyone cherishes them. If someone wants to make trouble, our people are not vegetarians and will never tolerate it, even for a small matter. Lan Yatou especially emphasized this point. Our people would rather have nothing than something of poor quality." Miao Ma explained.
Yunzi Qin Siyu watched as everyone took their meals and ate in an orderly manner, then put their plates together, without wasting a single grain of rice. The food was good, with meat, vegetables, and a small piece of fruit. It might be just a small piece, but in the end times, it was already very good. If it were placed elsewhere, just looking at it would be a luxury.
The food here is really good. Both of them had met Lan Shiruo before, but at the time, their minds were all on Yunshui Yao, and they didn't pay much attention to the quiet girl who seemed to be shrouded in a cloud. "What kind of person is that Miss Lan?"
"Little Blue," Miao's mother was delighted. "Little Blue is smart, kind, beautiful, and very capable. It's all thanks to her that more than a dozen children can form a team. My daughter Miaomiao was the first to follow Little Blue. She knows a lot and admires her very much. She always talks to us old couple about everything. Little Blue grew up with adoptive parents, but neither her adoptive parents nor her adoptive siblings were good people. She suffered a lot. She was drugged by her adoptive sister. If it weren't for Ao Xiaozi, she might have been hurt badly. Little Blue was alone in the hospital raising her child who was only a few days old. Later, at the end of the world, she took the child out alone to look for supplies. Fortunately, Jiang Xiang accompanied her along the way, so she didn't feel lonely. Jiang Xiang is that Tibetan mastiff, a very powerful dog, have you seen it?"
The two nodded, very impressed. The Tibetan Mastiff was very powerful.
"My little girl doesn't have any special skills. She can only cook. Fortunately, Blue Girl doesn't despise her and has always taken care of her and protected her. Otherwise, how could we old couple see Miaomiao? Later, we met Blue Girl's adoptive parents one day, and Yun Girl happened to be there. Unable to bear the adoptive parents bullying Blue Girl, she went up and beat up her adopted brother without saying a word. Yun Girl said that Blue Girl was the one who encouraged her when she was in the most difficult time, so she had to stay by Blue Girl's side to protect her. In this way, the three of them formed a team, and it turned out that it was Blue Girl who protected the other two girls. Later, they met other girls, and they gathered together, faced various difficulties, collected supplies, and waited for Ao Xiaozi and the others. It can be said that this group of children owes everything to Blue Girl. Blue Girl is capable and charming, and it is worth everyone's protection by her side."
The two secretly praised it, not expecting such a reason. The blue girl was not very old. Before the apocalypse, she was still a young girl in college who was always eating, drinking and having fun. But she was able to support a team and a base at such a young age. It was really amazing.
Shui Yao's most difficult time must have been that year when he was framed, slandered, and hit the lowest point in his life. It's heartwarming to think that they, as brothers and sisters-in-law, don't have a little girl they don't know.
After Miao's mother took the two of them to dinner, she talked about the situation and rules of the base, and then took them around.
Yun Hengfei was curious about where Fang Dengwen had created Maomao and wanted to see it. Fang Dengwen didn't refuse and took him to the computer room. This was his studio, which was filled with several high-powered computers and various AI production materials and materials.
"Wow, this place looks so cool." Yun Hengfei's eyes almost popped out, he was very envious.
Fang Dengwen smiled. "I heard you're also interested in computers and artificial intelligence. You can work and study with me here in the future. All of the base's networks, surveillance, and artificial intelligence are still in their infancy and need constant updates and improvements. My abilities are limited, so I can only make progress slowly and grope my way forward. If you could come and help me, it would save me a lot of effort."
"Maomao is already so good, does he still need to improve?" Yun Hengfei exclaimed.
