Chapter 263 Inquiry
Ling Ran, who was in the passenger seat, had already woken up before Pei Xiu even saw her.
She could see further than others, so she took in the whole scene just now.
Ling Ran raised an eyebrow slightly, quite fond of this capable and decisive woman.
The car soon arrived in front of the group of people.
The sun was strong, making the stench of the rotting zombie corpses even more intense.
As soon as they arrived, the overwhelming stench of rotting zombies filled the air. In addition, since the apocalypse, water resources have become scarce, many people cannot take a bath, and they often sweat, giving off a sour and foul smell.
The combination of the two is not very friendly to the nose.
Aside from being initially bothered by the stench upon getting off the bus, everyone quickly adapted to it.
Seeing the group's wary demeanor, Pei Xiu asked in a friendly manner, "Hello, what are you doing here?"
The woman with the buzz cut pursed her lips and remained silent.
Isn't it obvious what they're doing?
If you want to steal something, just say so. There's no need to beat around the bush like this.
Pei Yi glared at Pei Xiu, then stepped forward and asked, "Hello, we mean no harm, we just want to ask about the situation in Shanxi Province."
"About what?"
"It's about bases, zombies, natural disasters, and survivors."
The woman with the buzz cut remained vigilant, but still answered: "As for bases, the largest base in our province is the Hope Base in Qingcheng. Besides the Hope Base, there are quite a few smaller bases, but they are all small bases."
"No medium-sized base?"
"No, most of the survivors were rescued by Hope Base. People with superpowers are also more willing to join powerful bases, which has caused Hope Base to grow bigger and bigger. I heard that Hope Base has about 20,000 people."
The woman with the buzz cut continued, "As for zombies, since the Blood Moon, most of them have leveled up to level two. They can't go to any slightly busy areas anymore. Zombies have become more sensitive; sound, smell, and light are all ways they can identify humans. One thing can affect the whole body."
Before the Blood Moon, they could occasionally raid some suburban shopping malls, but after the Blood Moon, they could no longer go to the suburban shopping malls and could only search for supplies in the towns and streets.
Pei Yi nodded; these were all the same as elsewhere.
They had never even been to the city center; they always traveled around the outskirts, usually taking rural and urban roads.
Fewer roadblocks, fewer zombies.
So actually, there are still plenty of supplies in busy areas. We were thinking that once everyone's abilities level increased, we could go and take on the challenge, but who could have predicted that the zombies' levels would also rise so dramatically?
"What about natural disasters?" Pei Yi continued to ask.
"As for natural disasters, I wouldn't say there are any. It's just that the weather is too hot, with temperatures ranging from 35 to 40 degrees Celsius every day. There's also a severe water shortage. In the mountainous province, many of the mutated trees are attacking people because of the lack of water."
Originally, we couldn't go to the city, thinking we could make a living off the mountains, but because of this, going up the mountain has become an extremely dangerous thing.
"That's about it. Compared to the hailstorm in Furong Province, things are a little better here."
After understanding the situation, Pei Yi nodded and thanked him, saying, "Thank you."
Seeing them about to leave, the woman with the buzz cut quickly asked, "Are you going to join the Hope Base?"
"I don't think so, we just went to take a look. Are you from Hope Base?"
The woman with the buzz cut shook her head: "No, we are from the Xihe City Civil Security Base."
"Why are people from Xihe City here in Changshi?"
The woman with the buzz cut twitched the corner of her mouth but didn't say anything.
