Chapter 480 The Capital City Divided in Two
"If you're tired, go to sleep. We don't have anything to do; we just wanted to come and express our gratitude in person."
“Yes.” Kong Ming nodded in agreement: “If you are sleepy, sir, should I ask my brother to warm up the bed for you? It’s so cold. In ancient times, emperors had maids to warm their beds. If the emperor had it, we, sir, should have it too.”
As he said this, Kong Chi, who was next to him, quietly tugged at his sleeve, but the latter pretended not to notice and continued to promote his younger brother.
The rest of the people: "..."
As for Kong Chi, he was already blushing with shame.
Ugh, what lewd things is his older brother saying again!
Fortunately, he won't see this person again, otherwise how would he face him in the future?
Ling Ran yawned again: "No need, God said I'm not cold."
As she spoke, she stood up, waved casually, and went upstairs to sleep.
Kong Ming looked completely bewildered: "What does that mean? God said I'm not cold?"
Seeing Ling Ran go upstairs, Kong Chi finally couldn't bear his shame and quickly bowed, saying, "Excuse me, everyone, I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, he turned and ran away. His long legs moved so fast that he disappeared from sight in just a few steps.
Kong Ming sighed.
I know this deal is off.
After apologizing to Pei Yi and the others, he took his leave, planning to host a simple meal for the adult at the Weiyang base with Hao Ren once the adult woke up.
Ling Ran slept straight until 2 p.m., without even having lunch.
After she woke up, Shen Nianshen took out all the food that Uncle Chen had prepared from the space, and then everyone ate lunch together.
Ling Ran didn't eat lunch, and neither did the others. If they were really hungry, they would eat sandwiches or steamed buns.
Similar situations had occurred before. Ling Ran had told them not to wait for her to eat, but these people just wouldn't listen, and Ling Ran couldn't do anything about it.
Whatever, I'll wait and see. It's not like it's her stomach that's hungry.
After lunch, Ling Ran felt more energetic.
Sitting on the sofa, she picked up the Weiyang Weekly that Su Yimo handed her and started reading. The first large page was definitely hers.
Ling Ran skipped over the news and looked at other news items.
"Oh? Hopefully the upgraded evolution fluid at the Hope Base will be well received. The Weiyang Base is interested in importing it and is currently conducting a questionnaire survey among ability users."
Shaanxi Province is closer to the Hope Base than Hubei Province. The reason why Shaanxi Province receives messages slower than Hubei Province is because the Hope Base directly blocked Shaanxi Province due to the previous epidemic.
They certainly don't want to bring the virus over while doing business.
Su Yimo said from the side, "Why bother with a questionnaire, sir? We can just start doing crystal core business."
"Um."
Ling Ran nodded and continued reading the newspaper.
It mentions things about other bases, but they are all the more troublesome things in those bases. For example, in one base, they haven't eaten meat for many days, and in another base, they can't even get enough to eat, which leads to the exodus of ability users.
Thinking back on what I've seen recently, it seems there are relatively few good things written about other bases; most of the writing focuses on troubles and difficulties.
But after thinking about it carefully, Ling Ran understood.
That's exactly what we need to let the residents of the base know: if the other bases aren't good, then stay at our Weiyang base; our Weiyang base is the best.
Turning the pages of the newspaper, a large section was about the Beijing base.
At the Beijing base, Ling Ran's only impression of it was probably the Dragon Flame Squad that she had saved last time.
"The Beijing base has deployed firepower to suppress the enemy and has taken control of most of the city. The other half of the city is controlled by a level seven psychic zombie, which the Beijing base is temporarily referring to as the Zombie King."
Su Yimo exclaimed, "Holy crap, a level seven zombie!"
She quickly looked down, shocked as she read: "This zombie can command other zombies. Isn't this the same level 5 zombie that the adults killed before? This is too terrifying."
Before she could finish expressing her opinion, her eyes fell on the text report below: "Damn! This zombie king can even speak simple human language?"
Su Yimo's words attracted the attention of others.
Everyone assumed that the adults would be the first to read the Weiyang Weekly, so even though the newspaper was delivered early, they didn't go to read it.
I never expected that today's newspaper would have such big news.
Everyone immediately gathered around.
However, there wasn't much news after that. It was said that the capital city was now divided in two, with the capital base and the zombie king each owning half.
Because the Beijing base has sufficient firepower to suppress the enemy, the two sides are currently in a state of equilibrium. However, no one can guarantee that the balance will not be broken one day, and then one side may devour the other.
"This is terrifying! A level 7 zombie has appeared at the Beijing base! We haven't even encountered a level 6 zombie yet."
"More importantly, this zombie can talk, and look at the description of the zombie king. It says that apart from his grayish-blue skin and slightly awkward gait, he looks pretty much like a human."
"Level seven is already like this, what will happen if it's level eight, nine, or ten? Will the zombies look exactly like humans then?"
"I get chills just thinking about it."
"Currently, the Beijing base and the Zombie King are split in two, creating a temporary balance. However, if this balance is broken and the Beijing base loses, then..."
The capital is the political and military center. If even the base in the capital cannot withstand the pressure, then if it spreads, it is only a matter of time before other bases are swallowed up.
The thought of the world possibly being ruled by zombies weighed heavily on everyone's minds.
After finishing reading the newspaper, Ling Ran looked at the other side and instructed Liu Xiuping, "Xiao Liu, cut some fruit."
Ling Ran's voice brought everyone back to their senses.
yes!
What?! Zombies ruling the world?!
That's impossible!
Because they have adults!
That zombie king sounds powerful, but can it be as powerful as you, sir? I'm afraid if you really faced it, you wouldn't even need to lift a finger; you could just kill that zombie king with a few words.
Even if the adults have to take action, the outcome of the zombies dying is unlikely to change.
At this moment, they finally began to understand Hao Ren's fanaticism.
Yes, adults are gods.
The god she spoke of—what god? It was clearly just her own words. But the fact that an adult's words become law is indeed comparable to that of a god.
Moreover, they hadn't forgotten what the adults had said before: as long as there was enough energy, they could end the apocalypse directly.
If it really comes to that, then we should mobilize the entire nation and even the world to provide energy to the adults and end the apocalypse.
Liu Xiuping handed the cut fruit to the small table next to Ling Ran. Seeing that Ling Ran was still trying to reach for the fruit herself, she felt a little sorry for her: "Sir, would you like me to feed you?"
It's too much work for adults to eat fruit by themselves.
Ling Ran felt Liu Xiuping's distressed gaze: "???"
