The location on the other side of the river was equally secluded and desolate. Looking around, there were no people or zombies to be seen.

It seems that the two men who were just released by them are very familiar with the situation on both sides of the river. They must be natives of this city, so they know this area so well and found such a good place to hide the boat.

They found a way up it and got out of the range of the river.

Passing by an empty place, Gu Yicheng took the car and supplies out of the space. If Chang Shisi was still here, he would know why the people in the Dawn Team didn't need to worry about whether their car would be stolen.

The commotion on the cross-river bridge was so big that almost all the survivors on both sides of the river knew about it.

The Dawn Team had just taken their car out of the space and had been driving forward for less than three minutes when they heard another dull explosion. The direction of the sound was still the cross-river bridge.

Ruan Ning couldn't help but feel a little lucky that they didn't choose to go over the bridge. Who would have thought that there would be □□ on the bridge? ! It was really too crazy.

I don't know who wants to make trouble for this cross-river bridge. They used so many weapons just to blow up a bridge. And don't they know how important the existence of this cross-river bridge is to mankind?

If there is no such bridge, the survivors on both sides of the river will have to cross the river by boat, which will cause more troubles and dangers. How many people will lose their lives because of this?

Ruan Ning didn't understand why anyone would do something that would benefit no one. Could it be that there were terrorists who would harm others and not benefit themselves in the end times?

When Ruan Ning thought of this, his delicate and handsome eyebrows wrinkled.

If there really is one, I just hope that the Dawn Team won't encounter him. This kind of person doesn't care about money or life, and it seems that he will be very difficult to deal with.

*****

Their team was delayed for quite some time in crossing the river.

There is another base that is smaller than Yancheng Base. It is not far away and is right on this side of the river.

After a brief discussion, the members of the Dawn Team decided to stay at this base tonight.

Although the size of the base cannot completely determine everything, generally speaking, large bases are much more orderly than small bases, otherwise they would not have developed to their current scale.

This small-to-medium-sized base next to the Yancheng base was not immune to this feature. As soon as they paid their supplies and entered the base, they saw a fight in the street inside the base, killing and injuring several people. And during the fighting, no one from the base came to stop it.

It is impossible that there is no dispute in Yancheng Base. Just like the incident at the "Foodie" restaurant when they left the base, the two sides fought directly in the base. But everyone in Yancheng Base has a limit in their hearts. Fighting is allowed, but killing is basically not allowed. Because if someone does this, it will violate the rules and regulations set by Yancheng Base, and the base will blacklist him, expel him, and never let him enter the base again.

Of course, this rule is limited to the base. Once you leave the base, the base will not care what the survivors want to do. That is a personal grudge. They only protect people in the base. However, as long as you do not leave the base gate, you are still protected by the base. As long as the person who has a grudge against you cannot bear the consequences of leaving the base, he will not attack you.

In this small base, no one cared even if someone was killed in the base. Even if the Dawn Team just wanted to use this as a place to stay for the night, they couldn't stay in such a chaotic place. Instead of staying here, it would be better to leave overnight and spend a comfortable night outside.

"Wait! You can't leave now." A man in guard uniform stopped the Dawn Team as they were about to leave the base. "You have to hand in your supplies once more before you leave."

"Oh? Then why don't you want to hand over the person who just left?" Gu Yicheng stopped and stared at the greedy man. He looked down with narrow eyes and indifferent expression, as if he was looking at a dead person.

The guard of the small base was startled by his look at first, but then he came to his senses and became angry and his attitude became even more vicious. "Who said you are new here? This is the rule for newcomers here! People who have been in the base for less than a week must also hand in supplies when leaving the base."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the Dawn Team could see that the guard had set his eyes on their supplies and, seeing that they were strangers, he wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail them.

Although they are unlikely to kill humans, they are not the kind of people who can be slaughtered at will. Moreover, in this world, living a life worse than death is far more painful than death itself.

Gu Yicheng, who was closest to the guard, raised the corner of his lips, his eyes deep, and grabbed the man's wrist, bending it back. A click was heard, the sound of a bone breaking.

"It hurts, it hurts!" The guard felt so much pain that sweat broke out on his forehead, his calves went weak, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.

The guard was filled with resentment, and wanted to use his other hand to use his supernatural power to sneak attack the person who had just broken his hand. However, the guard's plan was wrong. Not to mention whether he could beat Gu Yicheng, there were so many people from the Dawn Team standing here. Without waiting for Gu Yicheng to make a move, the other people in the team would have knocked him to the ground.

"I, I warn you, I am the guard of this base. You hurt me because you want to harm the base. Then none of you can leave." Blackmailing the weak newcomers is a tacit agreement in this small base. The guards' abilities are not very offensive and their level is only level one, so they can only work as guards outside the base. The daily pay is not much, so they want to make extra money from this.

Not all of them would extort money. The guards chose this team this time because the average age of the people in this team was young, so they thought they would be as easy to bully as the previous ones, so they swallowed their anger and gave the food. Because there was not much food, they dared not say anything even if they were extorted.

Now that they had encountered a tough opponent, the guard moved out of the base. He believed that a team of only a dozen people should dare to confront a base.

"You won't let us go? You have to make sure you stay alive first." Gu Yicheng took his hand off calmly, with a cold smile on his face. What he hated most was people who were self-righteous and wanted to get something for nothing. Such rubbish was even more annoying than those roadside robbers.

Ruan Ning watched from the sidelines as Gu Yicheng dealt with another person who had brought this upon himself. This person actually wanted them to go out and give him supplies again? This was simply ridiculous. To be honest, for a base like this, Ruan Ning felt that the supplies he had paid when he first entered were all wasted. It was good enough that they didn't come back, but when they left, they wanted to extort him again. I don't know who gave him the courage.

Sometimes Ruan Ning and everyone else didn't want to fight with humans at all. They would rather kill more zombies outside so that they could get more crystal cores to upgrade their abilities. But just because they thought so didn't mean everyone would think so. There were always some people who would come and provoke them for various reasons.

Ruan Ning felt a little touched when he met such people at the beginning of the apocalypse, but now he is too lazy to sympathize with them. Because everyone deserves their own consequences, and they will not die unless they seek death. They are not worthy of sympathy or mercy.

I don't know how these people survived in the apocalypse. Instead of thinking about how to kill more zombies, they always like to focus on their own kind and fight against each other.

Ruan Ning remembered that this rebirth novel began with the following sentence: The most terrifying thing in the end times is never the zombies, but the human heart.

Now it seems that this is indeed the case. The troubles they encountered along the way from fellow humans were no less than when they encountered powerful zombies and mutant animals.

The guard finally fainted from the pain because he couldn't stand the physical torture. There must be more than one guard in the base. But due to the lax management, the guard had been unconscious for a long time before the others realized what had happened and rushed to the base to look for him.

By the time their rescue team arrived, the members of the Dawn Team had already driven away from the base. No one was seen anywhere, so they couldn't find them even if they wanted to settle the score.

Ruan Ning and his group didn't know what was going on over there, but even if they knew, they wouldn't take it seriously. If they didn't leave, would they stay there and wait for a fight with them? Although they weren't afraid of confronting these people head-on, they thought it was too troublesome to give up.

However, with a base like this, I'm afraid that the zombies will arrive at their doorstep one day, and these people may not even know about it.
