When the people present saw the food in front of them, they could hardly control the wild power in their bodies. Even if they had no strength left, they still crawled to move to the front.
"Okay! Everyone, don't worry. Tonight's food is ready at the base. Everyone will have a bottle of water and a bag of steamed buns. If you want more, you can buy it yourself. As for where to rest for the night, we've already cleared out two halls. Please pack up and bring some bedding and go rest. The specific spots have been marked. Everyone can have a good night's sleep tonight."
He Huai broke down the general plan to them, fearing that they would quarrel over trivial matters. Fortunately, this did not happen. They sent people to distribute food and drinking water bit by bit.
Shi Jiu watched from the side. She felt that the reason these people didn't make a fuss was probably because they didn't react in time. She didn't know how crazy they would become later, but she believed that He Huai would handle it.
She took the remaining dried meat found in the base back to the car, intending to see if there were any clues inside. The group of evil guys were locked up by He Huai, just like Zhang Fang had done to them before, he directly locked them up with his supernatural powers.
Seeing that they also had rules, Shi Jiu didn't say much, although she originally wanted to let those beasts go directly into the small dark room.
After having a delicious meal, Shi Jiu said hello to everyone else and returned to his room.
Listening to the noisy sounds in the base, Shi Jiu just smiled and turned to study the dried meat in her hand. Before taking it out, she even put on a mask to block out the smell.
"Host, you won't be able to smell anything if you wear a mask." 001 encouraged Shi Jiu.
"Isn't this all thanks to you, 001? My nose is totally useless!" Shi Jiu would not be fooled. This dried meat was obviously not made by normal means. It would be incredible if she could smell it.
She casually pulled out another bag of dried meat that she had previously placed in her backpack, placed them both on the ground, and opened them simultaneously.
"According to my testing and analysis, these are obviously from the same place, and the toxins that can affect humans are the same." 001 had already checked the two pieces of dried meat.
"That means the person who delivered the dried meat, gathered the zombies, and came to City C might be the same person?" Shi Jiu fell into deep thought. Could it be that because her town had expanded, she couldn't make it in City B and now she ran away?
But 001 also checked and found that there didn't seem to be any habitable places around here, so his motives were really suspicious.
"The toxins in this dried meat come from zombies. That's why it smells so bad. I don't know why they feed this to people." 001 only found out that there was something inside, and he didn't know what the other party was trying to do.
Suddenly, Shi Jiu thought of a serious question, "Where did he get so much jerky? And how did he make it into jerky?"
They have always ignored this problem. After all, even if they are mutant animals, it is impossible to catch so many and deal with them in a short period of time. Besides, processing takes time and manpower. Even a person with superpowers cannot accomplish so much by himself.
001 was reminded by Shi Jiuyi and looked at the dried meat seriously.
"No...it can't be..." Shi Jiu remembered what that beast Zhang Fang had done, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. These couldn't be from...
"Stop, stop, host, what are you thinking about? I've checked, and they are all made of mutant animals." 001 hurriedly stopped Shi Jiu from continuing his divergent thinking.
"That's good!" Shi Jiu was relieved when she heard 001's solemn promise. If it were really those things, she would not even have the courage to pick them up.
"So, the man in black didn't even want the reward. Then the problem must be the dried meat. As long as people eat it, his goal will be achieved. The people in the base don't seem to be in good condition these days. Is he trying to control them?"
Shi Jiu thought for a long time, but he didn't know the other party's purpose, so he had to put the two bags back into his backpack. "There must be a big gang behind this. How could one person do so many things?"
But there were too few clues, so she had to let the matter go for now.
"If we have nothing else to do tomorrow, let's head to the next city."
After she came out, she found that it was more comfortable to stay in the small town. With the hot weather, dry air and deserted city, she didn't know whether this place was still suitable for living.
Maybe it’s not that they don’t want to stay, but they can’t, because there is no solution to the current land and water supply problem.
Shi Jiu was lying on the bed, thinking about the things that had happened since the end of the world. She found that without the help of the system and 001, she would not be able to survive for a few days in this apocalypse. She couldn't help but turn sideways and stretched out her hand to point at 001 who was standing beside her.
"It's so strange, why did you choose me in the first place?" She had forgotten the original reason, but she had the impression that it was not a very legitimate reason.
001 simply shook its leaves without answering the question. "Host, we should look forward. Look at the progress bar. It's gone up another 1%!"
After hearing this, Shi Jiu couldn't help laughing a few times, then closed her eyes and fell asleep. What 001 said was quite right. People should always look forward. Her goal was to successfully complete the mission and return home. Nothing else mattered.
Until the surrounding environment became quiet and it was late at night, the petals of 001 began to glow, and it seemed that the colorful light had recovered a little.
"I chose you because...ah, what a foolish host..."
The light flashed by and then returned to its previous ordinary state.
The next day, the sun rose early and released its powerful force in the sky. The original plants on the ground had already dried up and bent in the hot weather, and finally turned into insignificant weeds and were trampled on the ground.
Shi Jiu and his group had gotten up early. Most people in the base had a rare good night's sleep last night, and most of them were reluctant to get up yet.
"Boss Shi, I'm truly grateful for your assistance. If you hadn't come, the Bright Base would have quickly ceased to exist, and we would have likely starved to death in the secret room."
He Huai also had a good sleep last night and woke up this morning feeling full of energy, even though the temperature outside seemed to have risen again.
"You're welcome. We're just taking what we need. These are the cell phones from our town. They're already on sale in the vending machines, but they're a bit pricey. If you need any, come buy some."
Shi Jiu discovered that he could also use his mobile phone outside to publish activities, collect and record the local geographical information, and expand the scope of the map.
She also set the reward for this event a little higher. As long as anyone bought a mobile phone and recorded the information, they could participate in this event. After all, with a mobile phone, Sifang Coins could also be used.
"If you really can't stay here any longer, plan your route to the town as soon as possible. I'll also set up some supply points along the way to facilitate your journey."
Finally, Shi Jiu left the Guangming Base amid their warm gratitude and embarked on the journey to the next city.
Moran finally chose to stay in the base, because even with Shi Jiu's help, they still needed more water, and supernatural powers could temporarily make up for this shortage.
"This is a space bracelet. It contains seeds and saplings of a hundred purification trees. Try planting them nearby and see if they can survive."
Before leaving, Shi Jiu left a batch of purification tree seeds to Moran. She had always wanted to do an experiment to see if the purification tree could purify the polluted soil outside.
However, the purification tree that left the town can only be planted once outside and can only survive for one day. She saved the purified seedlings that had been planted in the farmland before, so that she can plant them again outside later.
I don’t know if the purified soil can be used to grow anything.
Moran took the bracelet and repeatedly promised to inform her if there was any news.
After Shi Jiu handed this problem to her, he led people to the next city. Today's temperature was higher than before. She took out the thermometer and found that the surface temperature was close to 60 degrees, not to mention the other adverse effects brought about by the high temperature weather.
"We're heading to City F now. It's quite unique here. It's a city that's mostly forested. With the environment adjusted, the temperature might not be that severe."
Shi Jiu was holding a map of City F, which was provided to them by He Huai. Given that the two cities were very close to each other, Shi Jiu thought it would be best if he could get through it within one day.
"Not necessarily. Things like natural disasters and man-made disasters, accidents like the one in City C, might just happen..." Li Xia said casually, but Jiang Xiao stopped him before he could finish his words.
"Shut up! Maybe that's just an isolated incident!" Jiang Xiao nudged him from the side. It was too unlucky to say that.
Shi Jiu thought about what happened in City B and the situation in City C. He could only say that without the constraints of the law, the evil of human nature was indulged and magnified infinitely.
"I just hope we make it in time." It would be best if nothing happened.
The car soon drove into City F. Compared to the desolation of City C, the skyscrapers, buildings and streets in City F were all covered with a touch of green.
The curved leaves extend infinitely, with no end, climbing on the steel and concrete, and there are green figures everywhere you look.
"There's something wrong with this plant. How can it grow like this in this kind of weather?" Zhao Jin leaned against the window and looked at the situation outside, while Li Sui beside him was also thinking deeply.
"Boss, something seems to be wrong in City F. I've talked to the local leader, Wang Yang, before. There are mostly forests here, so there are a lot of mutant plants and animals. For safety reasons, they deliberately built their base farther away from the forest, but..."
Everyone present knew what he was talking about. It was no use staying away from him. These mutant plants might have become spirits. After entering City F, they felt that the whole world was green.
Green represents many beautiful words such as vitality, energy, nature and tranquility. However, the green before their eyes, although also full of vitality, always gives them a sense of discomfort.
Without getting off the car, there was no way to feel what the climate of City F was like. Just when Shi Jiu was about to take out his tablet to take a look at the surrounding environment, a large shadow came towards him.
The whole car seemed to be covered by something!
