The Chinese national treasure is incredibly powerful, making the three girls, who had been acting very composed, starry-eyed as they petted and hugged it—provided they were given enough food. It also made Di Xiu temporarily learn how to drive a truck.
In order to allow 001 to stick close to it anytime, anywhere, Di Xiu did not put it in his space.
The spacious trailer was the territory of the iron-eating beast. Cai Wenbin was still tied to the roof. When he twisted his neck to look back, his gray-white eyes almost turned green. He was very envious of a certain national treasure who could eat and drink well and roll around as he pleased.
Many children suddenly decide they want to have a pet and vow to take care of it themselves, but in the end, it's always their parents who have to worry about it. This is the case with 001 and Di Xiu.
The latter didn't really expect anything from the unfilial son. When he left the zoo, he picked a lot of bamboo shoots and bamboo, and also planted a lot of bamboo rhizomes in the space.
001 made a grand promise and set a flag, but he was the one who rode the horse, while Di Xiu was the one who raised it. He was only responsible for sticking on the horse and feeding it.
The passenger seat was empty, with only the car stereo playing navigation prompts imported from 001. As Di Xiu drove, he vaguely felt the sadness of an elderly person living alone.
There were hardly any people on the road. When you got close to the bases, you could only see a few people when there were four people and one corpse, but generally no one paid any attention to anyone else.
With a clear objective, they headed straight for Base Five.
001's route planning was professional. This time, Di Xiu listened to him and drove for three days. They could see the high walls of Base 5 from afar.
The four spent the night outside, and Cai Wenbin, who couldn't keep his mouth shut, continued to act as a corpse-driving device. The three girls munched on biscuits while staring longingly at the trailer wall, but Di Xiu pretended not to see them.
The tyrant 001 nestled on his beloved concubine's belly, and only reluctantly left when he heard the knocking on the carriage ahead, finally getting down to business.
He compared the situation of several cities around Base 5, and also took a screenshot of the online mission list in the mission hall of the base. He unfolded a map and said seriously, "Red Bean City, which is north of Base 5, is the closest to the base. The supplies inside have been searched out, so generally no one will go in to search anymore. Stay away from these, these, and these three main roads, and you will most likely not be discovered."
After taking a couple of glances, Di Xiu decided to go to Hongdou City.
How is Chu Rongrong now?
“Hmm,” 001 quickly read the surveillance data from the last three days and said casually, “Unemployed, about the same as before. He was kicked out of the vegetable garden yesterday for mistaking scallions for weeds, and he hasn’t looked for work today.”
Where is Chu Yang?
001 glanced around, paused for a second, and said, "That idiot is unwilling to be an ordinary person. The day before yesterday, someone tricked him into thinking that all superhumans awaken after having a fever. He went to bed without a blanket for two nights in a row and got himself a fever. Zhou Shuai didn't give him any medicine, and he's still toughing it out."
"Go have fun."
001 chuckled foolishly and immediately went back to hug Xiong Aifei again.
Cai Wenbin was extremely anxious, desperately wanting to know where the child standing next to the panda came from, why he could see the child sometimes and not at other times, and where the fruit and bamboo shoots came from...
Damn it, Wang Hao, you have all this and you won't share it with anyone else, you won't even eat it yourself, but you're feeding it to a bear? Your damn panda is about to run away with someone else, why don't you look back and take a look?
But he was just a zombie who couldn't speak human language.
At night, Di Xiu sleeps on the trailer. The three poor girls, because of his excuse that men and women should not touch each other, have not had the chance to come up yet, and have to take turns keeping watch with the future zombie king.
As dawn broke, the four set off again toward Red Bean City.
001 marked out an area that is unlikely to be visited again. It is an industrial park and their base for the foreseeable future.
There are talent apartments in the industrial park, and apart from the lack of food, there are no other major problems.
Cai Wenbin was very easy to take care of, just enough to live on. But when he fell into the hands of Emperor Xiu, he had no chance to improve his level, which drove Emperor Xiu crazy.
It's a good thing he can't speak human language, otherwise he wouldn't have an easy time, and everyone else would be tormented by his trash talk.
Di Xiu wasn't worried about food, but the three girls couldn't just sit around and do nothing. They had never asked him for anything, and their determination to become stronger had never wavered, so they started leaving Red Bean City every day to search for food further away.
The base wasn't just looking for food and medicine; some instruments and equipment were also important supplies. All the usable equipment in the industrial park had been moved out, and with the water, electricity, and internet outages, Emperor Xiu had nothing to do, so he focused on cultivation.
In addition, he would check the latest research results from the base every day, offering his thoughts and questions if he had any, and not replying to messages if he didn't.
After being empowered by Emperor Xiu's spiritual energy and reaching level three, the exotic panda, nicknamed Zero Zero by 001, was released to roam freely in the park, striking fear into the hearts of zombies. However, it would always return to Emperor Xiu's side every night.
The three girls felt much lighter just looking at it, and touching it made all the day's worries disappear.
In the apocalypse, most forms of entertainment have been stripped away. Although cell phones still work in the base, no one is in the mood to play games or read novels anymore. Apps are uninstalled, memory is cleared, and factory settings are restored, all to save a little bit of power—charging costs money in the base.
Everyone is forced to adapt to the current world and gradually get used to their current lives, making a living step by step, and even if they don't know where the future is, they still try their best to live.
The superhumans were already wealthy, but with bait dangling in front of them that they could never reach, they still obediently followed the base's orders. Some tried the bait, only to find there was only a small part of it, unable to cause any rebellion, so they could only continue to work diligently without complaint.
In short, all the bases are quite stable now, much better than in the timeline, at least they are still under the control of the nation.
