The road the car was driving on was a mess, and there weren't even many people to be seen. They were watching the scenery outside flash by at the window, but they lost interest after watching for too long.
"Let's take a look at where we're going first. We only have three places to go right now. If we can find any of the others, we can stop by. If not, we'll have to wait until we're more stable before promoting them."
Shi Jiu took out the map given by Li Sui. That's right, she didn't want everyone to gather in her town. This would make collecting crystal cores too slow. It would be better to sell the things directly. It would be more convenient to collect crystal cores directly. As long as her things were very attractive in this land, there would be no problem.
If the place behind is really unable to produce crystal cores, and the other party also requires a place to stay, she can also consider building a road to let them go to the town on their own. She will still accept people, and the zombies in this world will eventually be eliminated, and one day she will have collected all the crystal cores.
The three cities given by Li Sui were City C, City F and City G. At the beginning, because they were relatively close to each other, the communication equipment received each other's signals, so they started chatting. However, Li Sui and the others only talked about their respective situations and exchanged information.
Li Sui contacted them immediately regarding the high temperature this time. In fact, the surrounding environments were similar, but Li Sui's shelter was not so lucky. There happened to be a mountain nearby. The other places were fine, except that the water flow was a little fast. After the temperature rose in the past two days, the accumulated water quickly evaporated.
So they are more worried about how they will survive in the high temperature.
When they learned that there was a new town near Li Sui, they asked about it. Li Sui briefly told them about the magical things there, but they didn't know whether they believed it or not.
This thing can only be listened to for the time being. It is impossible for them to bring so many people and travel a long distance to live in a place they have never seen.
So Li Sui didn't contact them again. There was no benefit in telling them about this kind of thing in advance. They were not there to help the poor, they were just on the way to earn crystal cores and didn't want so many people to die.
However, Li Sui could still barely remember the approximate location, and Shi Jiu did not mind the simplicity of the map. It was of course good to be able to find it as soon as possible, and it was not a bad idea to look for it while walking. Maybe you would see something on the way.
Isn't it? Near the edge of City C, the car automatically popped up a reminder that there were people nearby.
"It's only been half a day, and we've already arrived in City C?" Shi Jiu glanced at the time. It had just been a short time since he had finished lunch, and he had already met someone so soon?
But she didn't stop the car and get out immediately. Instead, she watched from the window first. The car was covered with an anti-peep film, so there was no need to worry about people outside seeing inside.
At noon, the sun was high in the sky and the temperature outside was close to 40 degrees.
"Mo Lan, don't be so ungrateful. What's wrong with following the deputy leader? Your water-based abilities can be very useful in this kind of weather. Why bother?"
In the barren open space, in just two days, the originally green land had been drained of moisture and turned yellow. A woman covered the wound on her arm. Under the scorching sun, her face flushed red, and she looked stubbornly at the several men who stopped her.
"Moran has already said that he has no intention of doing this. Since the deputy chief is unwilling to let me go, I have no choice but to leave City C." Moran looked at the man in front of him with a bad face and felt disgusted. Don't these people understand what people say?
After hearing this, the leader could only sigh helplessly and looked at Moran with an evil look on his face, "Since Miss Moran is unwilling to accept it, the deputy leader said that if you don't agree, then we brothers will have to hand it over, hahahaha..."
When Moran heard the tone and looked at their actions, his expression changed slightly. These bastards!
"Brothers, let's finish this quickly. She won't be returning to the base anyway, and we won't be able to trace her back to her if she happens to us later."
The leader greeted the brothers behind him with a gloomy face. In such hot weather, without any protection, they were very irritated by the sun.
"You..." Moran also saw their purpose and frowned. There was no place to hide nearby, and she didn't know how many people her special abilities could withstand.
A stream of transparent water poured out from her fingertips, but the people on the opposite side were not pushovers either. They used their special powers with murderous intent. Within a few rounds, Moran had several more scars on his body.
Just when Moran was wondering where to run to survive, emerald green vines appeared out of nowhere and wrapped around her slender waist with a "whoosh", causing Moran to fall back suddenly.
"Who is it!" The people on the opposite side were shocked when they saw this. They immediately stopped attacking and looked at the space where wind and sand were raised because of their fight with unfriendly faces.
In the dim light, you can still see figures moving around.
"This City C is really bustling, but even on the edge of the city, we can see such vulgar scenes." A crisp voice sounded, and a woman holding an umbrella appeared in front of them.
Shi Jiu only brought Zhao Jin and Qin Lou with him. It was Zhao Jin's special ability that just took the people away. At this time, Mo Lan was standing beside them, gasping for breath.
"Who are you? How did you end up in City C?" The leader looked at their clean clothes and their excellent complexion. They didn't even seem to be sweating in such a hot day, so he immediately became suspicious.
"What? Can't we come here if we're not from City C? Excuse me, how do we get to your Guangming Base?" Everyone had come out, so Shi Jiu naturally wouldn't just save one person and ask for directions at the same time.
"Retreat! Go back and report to the deputy leader!" Unexpectedly, these people's faces changed gloomyly, and they fled from here in a few seconds, not daring to stay at all.
"Do I look scary?" Shi Jiu looked at their departing backs speechlessly, as if something terrible was chasing them, and its movements were even more swift than when they attacked a weak woman just now.
"They... are just afraid of encountering something." At this time, the woman they rescued coughed twice, recovered, and said bitterly.
"Huh? Is there something more terrifying than the end of the world?" Shi Jiu turned to look at Moran. Perhaps due to long-term malnutrition, his originally handsome face looked a little sallow, and in this scorching heat, it was even more flushed and covered in sweat.
"Thank you for saving me. My name is Moran. I wonder if you have any urgent business in coming to City C? If you are just passing by, I hope you will leave quickly." Moran said to Shi Jiu and the others without any intention of catching up with those people for revenge.
"How strange! You don't want revenge? Their behavior just now wasn't very friendly." Zhao Jin, who had rescued her, looked at Moran, somewhat puzzled. If she had helpers, she would have definitely rushed forward and beat them until they were paralyzed. Why were they still thinking about those things at this time?
"Hehe, it's a blessing in disguise that I could escape. I really don't want to stay in that place. I would rather die outside. It's a pity..." Moran shook his head and sighed.
"But the purpose of our visit this time is the Bright Base. I wonder if Miss Moran can lead the way? After the mission is accomplished, there will be another reward." Shi Jiu heard that something seemed to have happened in this base, but since he was already here, he couldn't just go around it.
She directly threw an outdoor ice sticker to Moran. They had taken protective measures before coming out, and it would be fine if they stood outside for a few hours. Moran looked not well, and she didn't want to carry him back to the car later.
"This is..." Facing the thing thrown to her, Moran took it subconsciously. It was cold to the touch, and she instantly felt like she was back to the temperature of early autumn, and her whole body felt refreshed.
With surprise in her eyes, she looked at the thing in her hand, then looked at the people in front of her, and also found that they seemed to have no heat at all.
"I wonder if Miss Moran is willing?" Shi Jiu said with a smile while standing in front of her, holding an umbrella.
"In that case, Moran will respectfully obey your orders."
As she got into the car, Moran once again felt her worldview being reshaped. She thought that after the end of the world, having superpowers was already incredible, but she didn't expect that there would be a house inside an ordinary car.
She was arranged to wash up in a daze. The people in the car were not surprised to see Shi Jiu bringing someone back. They had also seen the previous scene from the window.
"Li Sui, when you contacted the leader of City C before, did he reveal anything? Something might have happened in City C."
Shi Jiu thought about the reactions of Moran and those people, and felt that compared to the scorching heat, they seemed to be more afraid of something.
Li Sui recalled their previous contacts. "Actually, we didn't contact them that often. We only contacted them three times in City C. But the last time was when their deputy leader spoke to me. I mentioned the possibility of warming and flooding. He gave me a vague response, then told me not to worry about their base. Then he hung up."
"Deputy leader? The people who just escaped seemed to be talking about the deputy leader. Where did the leader of this base go?" Shi Jiu bent his fingers and tapped the table regularly.
She hopes her sales journey will be more stable, and she doesn't want to have to deal with any base issues in the middle of the journey.
Unfortunately, things went against his wishes. After Moran came out, his first words shattered Shi Jiu's wish.
"The Guangming Base has been taken control by the deputy leader, and the situation in the base is not good at all." After a short rest, Moran felt much better. She looked at the car full of people and felt a little nervous, especially after what had just happened.
"Control? In this situation, what in the base could possibly be worth him taking control of?" Shi Jiu really didn't understand these people's thinking. "Is there any contaminated land or water source in Guangming Base?"
If that's the case, it's worth using some force.
"Of course not!" Moran looked at Shi Jiu in surprise, "If they had these, why would the people in the base fight so hard for a little food and drink?"
"Two days ago, when the temperature started to rise, the leader noticed something was wrong with the weather and told us to prepare to leave City C and head to a place called Sifang Town in City B. However, not long after this notice was issued, the deputy leader clashed with the leader. Ultimately, the deputy leader brought a large group of people to control the leader, and the base was sealed off, with no one allowed to enter or leave freely."
