Chapter 160 Meow Meow
At five in the morning, the sky began to break.
Because of the riot last night, most residents of the entire Eastern Base were in a depressed mental state. Many people should have gotten up for morning exercises, but were still lying in bed.
Residential areas, black markets, logistics departments, prisons... most of the main activity areas of the residents were quiet at this time, with only a few guards patrolling and yawning.
And when everyone was still half asleep and half awake.
In every corner of the base, countless loud speakers suddenly sounded at the same time, and a broadcast mixed with the sound of electricity rang out:
"Ahem -- ahem -- hello -- hello, can you hear me?"
It was an extremely excited voice.
After a brief silence and clearing of the throat, the voice continued loudly and passionately:
"This is a notice from the south gate of the Oriental Base. Repeat, this is a notice from the south gate of the Oriental Base!!!"
Hearing the broadcast, many people reflexively shuddered and sat up from their beds, looking at each other in bewilderment:
"Notice at the south gate? No way, what big thing is happening again?!"
"The last notice at the gate of the base was that an ancient civilization site was discovered at the north gate..." "Could it be that a wave of alien species is coming? If there is a large-scale alien invasion at this time, our base will be doomed." "Look at the bright side, maybe they found something good?"
...This is a habit that the people of the Eastern Base have developed over the years.
Including the highest superiors, S-level mercenaries and others, only a few people in the entire Eastern Base have the authority to broadcast to the entire base. This time the notice came directly from the gate of the base - the notices at the gate of the base usually contain important information.
Either a dangerous wave of alien species is approaching, or an extremely rare resource is discovered.
Either way, no one wants to miss out on important information.
Therefore, in every corner of the Eastern Base, even though they were exhausted from last night's riot, people still got up yawning, whispering to each other, and pricked up their ears nervously waiting for the next news.
After a brief silence, the loud broadcast sounded again, with great excitement and excitement:
"We... found it! @#￥￥&*))!!!... the exact location!!!"
Base residents: “…”
Base residents: “???”
"What is this talking about?!"
It seemed as if there was a device failure. The broadcast sound was interfered by the intermittent sound of electricity, making it difficult to hear what was being said for a moment.
What was even more frightening was that through the microphone, one could hear a commotion on the other end of the speaker, as if several people were fighting for the microphone:
At first there was the sound of equipment debugging, then there were the sounds of hurried footsteps, the banging of various chairs and tables against the floor, an unfamiliar female voice exclaimed "Please don't tell anyone", a crying male voice murmured "I'm so stupid, really, I should have known that such a good %￥# would not remain unknown"...
All kinds of inexplicable and noisy noises made everyone more and more confused.
Finally, just when everyone was about to lose their patience, the microphone seemed to be taken back by the security soldier. After two loud sounds of the switch being locked, all the noise disappeared, and the electric sound also disappeared.
The passionate broadcast sounded again.
…This time, the voice was loud and clear, reaching everyone’s ears through the countless loudspeakers of all sizes throughout the Eastern Base:
"This is the notice from the south gate of the Eastern Base:"
"According to reliable intelligence, we have discovered the exact location of the 'Simple Porridge Shop'. It is located in the center of the Death Desert. The specific coordinates are -"
“…”
After a brief ten seconds.
The entire Eastern Base was in an uproar!
.
The resounding sound of the horn spread the specific location of the simple porridge shop to every corner of the Eastern Base and reached the ears of countless people.
...Listening to the incredible words on the radio, everyone's eyes slowly widened.
Some people stood there in a daze.
Some people's eyes lit up, and they quickly took out paper, pen and compass to record all the information they heard as much as possible.
Some people seemed to be out of the state of mind, asking around in confusion: "A simple porridge shop? What is that? Are porridge shops divided into simple and complex ones?" But no one answered their questions.
In the doomsday era, the ability to collect intelligence information is very important. After the riot last night, those who still don’t recognize the words "Simple Porridge Shop" are really too slow and out of date.
——In a small dormitory apartment in the Eastern Base residential area.
Listening to the broadcast, Wang Peng and his wife's eyes flashed with enthusiasm, and they looked at each other.
...The day before yesterday, Wang Peng had the honor of becoming the first customer of the "Simple Porridge Shop" and drank the bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge that amazed both him and his wife.
What’s even more exciting is that the bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge is not only delicious, but also increases Wang Peng’s supernatural power by one level, and even allows his wife, who was originally an ordinary person, to awaken a B-level special supernatural power!
But yesterday, because he went late, Wang Peng was unable to buy the mushroom and chicken porridge. Upon hearing the news that Boss Jian had passed away, he and his wife regretfully thought that they would never have the chance to taste such delicious food again in their lifetime.
But I didn't expect that there would be a silver lining after all the difficulties.
"Leave?"
"Walk!"
The couple nodded and started packing their bags in unison.
——Eastern Base Area 13, in front of the bonfire.
During the riot last night, the veterans from District 13, led by Liang Mingchun, worked well with the 11th Detachment and beat Li Zhou so hard that he ran away in panic. But unfortunately, Li Zhou still escaped, and several veterans from District 13 who participated in the fight were thrown into prison along with the 11th Detachment.
The remaining veterans were sent back to District 13.
Originally, everyone was gathered around the campfire, thinking seriously about what to do next.
"Damn it, this Eastern Base is no longer a place for people to stay..."
"It would be nice if the Simple Porridge Shop was still there, but now the Simple Porridge Shop is gone—"
At this moment, the broadcast suddenly sounded.
The veterans listened in silence, and the more they listened, the dim light in their eyes became brighter.
They seemed to know what to do next.
——Eastern Base, inside the prison.
Because of last night's riot, many mercenaries who participated in the beating of Li Zhou in the black market were thrown into prison overnight. The prison at the Eastern Base had never had so many people enter it before, and for a moment it seemed a bit overcrowded. There were not even enough prison uniforms to distribute, so many mercenaries were still wearing their original clothes.
The jailers yawned tiredly.
Looking around, there are many familiar faces.
Yi Cunqing, with a snake coiled on his hand, was leaning on a crutch, thinking about something with his head down in a corner; Murong Miao with blue hair and Wang Li with a crew cut were squatting together, discussing in a low voice; Liang Mingchun, the leader of the veterans in District 13, was running around in the cell, quietly using his special powers to heal the mercenaries' wounds.
When the broadcast sounded, they all raised their heads and listened attentively.
Everyone is of different types.
After the broadcast ended, everyone looked at each other. They didn't say anything, but just a glance and the tacit understanding of fighting side by side for a long time made them understand each other instantly.
Yi Cun Qing's hand hidden in his sleeve made a secret gesture.
The mercenaries quietly began to gather in the direction of Yicunqing.
...A simple porridge shop opened in the Death Desert? As loyal old customers, how could they not show their support?
Moreover, the Eastern Base, now under the control of Li Zhou, is no longer a place for them to stay.
It would be better for everyone to unite together, go out and look for new possibilities outside.
There was a flash of determination in the mercenaries' eyes.
Outside the cell, the jailers yawned again, smoking and chatting:
"What the hell is this simple porridge shop? These idiots actually dared to fight an S-level mercenary for a bowl of porridge. Aren't they going to be locked up in a cell and quietly executed? They are so stupid..." Jailer No. 1 spat.
"That's right, if it were me, I would definitely not do such a stupid and thankless thing." Jailer No. 2 yawned.
"Hahaha, so we sit comfortably outside while they wait to die inside..."
Before the prison guard No. 3 finished speaking, he suddenly saw his two colleagues in front of him open their eyes wide in horror and look behind them.
Jailer No. 3: “?”
"What? What's behind me-"
Number Three looked behind him in confusion, and his expression gradually became one of fear.
“…”
boom! ! !
Suddenly, there was a loud earth-shaking noise in the prison.
People outside the prison all looked sideways in surprise—
The prison gate was blown open by an explosive force. The physical mercenary Wang Li rushed in front with his muscles, and the other mercenaries followed him and poured out like a tide!
The prison was breached from the inside!
The situation at the Eastern Base is about to change completely.
This thought emerged in everyone's mind.
“…”
An hour later.
——Eastern Base, south gate.
With gauze wrapped on his head and one of his eyes still bearing purple marks from being beaten, Li Zhou, who looked quite disheveled, stood at the door with the help of a crutch, watching the mercenaries walking away.
There were various emotions in his eyes, including resentment, unwillingness, contempt, etc.
After a long while, Li Zhou gritted his teeth and commanded his men:
"You, you, and all of you, carry me on your backs, let's chase!"
"I want to see with my own eyes what that simple porridge shop is capable of... And what can a bunch of useless people like them do after leaving the Eastern Base?"
.
On the other side, in the Jane family villa.
Jian Yunlan still knew nothing about the commotion caused by Jian Dan Zhou Pu in the Eastern Base.
The sunlight found its way onto the soft big bed. Jian Yunlan slept until she woke up naturally and opened her eyes comfortably. She saw Taotie with bloodshot golden eyes next to her.
Jian Yunlan: "Master Taotie, did you not sleep well?"
"..." Taotie showed a proud and arrogant expression, but his overly low and hoarse voice and the dark circles under his eyes betrayed him, "No, I slept well."
Jian Yunlan: "Oh, that's good. I'll be leaving first. I still have to prepare for the stall. We'll talk later. 88."
Then he quickly got up and left.
Taotie: “????”
“…”
There is a reason why Jian Yunlan is so anxious.
As soon as he opened his eyes and saw the sunlight outside, he suddenly had an inspiration.
——Tonight, he will sell two kinds of porridge.
Pumpkin porridge and seafood porridge!
