The new base members were all very capable. They started working on the base construction the very next day. Every day they dug ditches and buried landmines, laid electric fences on the walls, planted hydroponic plants in the rooms, and cleaned up the droppings of the mutated animals. Everyone was very enthusiastic.
They didn't complain when they were given flamethrowers to fight the monsters; on the contrary, they were very excited.
"I just killed a mutated rat!" someone exclaimed excitedly as he burned a mutated rat to death with a flamethrower.
The rat was as tall as his knees, its gray fur burned off, making its thick, hairless, fleshy tail, as thick as an arm, even more disgusting.
The man, however, didn't find it disgusting. He dug out the crystal core, grabbed the rat by its bald, thick tail, and said with a smile, "Let's go back and have some extra food!"
The others cast envious glances.
The Bright Moon Base has no shortage of supplies and does not support idlers.
They weren't really after the meat; the key issue was that the crystal cores were linked to abilities, and the crystal cores they got from growing vegetables every day were always different from those they obtained from killing monsters.
The person who killed the mutated rat was reassigned to Building 16. He handed over the crystal core to pay the base's resettlement tax, then carried the rat back slowly. When he opened the door, he smelled an unpleasant odor.
The pungent smell was coming from upstairs. At first, the smell wasn't so strong, and he could tolerate it, but recently it's gotten increasingly foul.
The man didn't want Gu Mingyue to think he was being troublesome, so he didn't report it. But today he had just killed a mutated rat and was looking forward to a delicious meal, so the smell became hard to ignore.
Looking at the large, fat rat at his feet, the man covered his mouth and nose, frowned, and walked upstairs.
He carefully checked the floor upstairs and found nothing, so he went up another floor.
Before even entering, you can smell a strong stench of rotting corpses.
As soon as I pushed open the door, I was startled by what I saw inside.
...
It was during a sandstorm, and the view outside the window was a deep orange-red.
Gu Mingyue hid in her room, opened a bottle of chilled beer, and gulped down a big mouthful.
Then he took a string of lotus root slices coated in red oil from the pot, stuffed them into his mouth, and squinted his eyes happily.
"Cool!"
The outside is so dry it's practically smoking; it's difficult for ordinary people to find water. Even plant-type ability users who eat cucumbers every day have chapped lips and almost got a sore throat.
Gu Mingyue's room has three humidifiers, making it comfortable and pleasant. She can eat spicy food or drink alcohol whenever she wants.
Now, apart from Gu Mingyue and her dozens of her fierce pets, no one else lives in Building 4. They have all been assigned to other floors, and except for major events, no one is allowed to go upstairs to disturb her rest.
Gu Mingyue felt much more at ease while eating.
Yesterday I steamed a giant king crab and two lobsters as thick as my thighs. Today I had Xinghe prepare the broth for skewers according to the recipe, and then laid out all sorts of fresh ingredients that are hard to find in this post-apocalyptic world. I ate to my heart's content.
Taking advantage of a rare moment of leisure, Gu Mingyue placed an iPad on the table and watched "War and Beauty," observing how various beauties schemed and plotted to please different powerful emperors, only to ultimately achieve nothing.
Her eyes then drifted to Xinghe, who was standing next to her wearing a black apron. The man was tall and straight, with dark eyelashes that cast a fan-shaped shadow on his fair face. He was intently skewering three white quail eggs.
When she exerts a little force in her arms, the sexy veins will bulge out. Looking up, there is a white shirt with the collar wide open over the black apron, revealing her fair collarbone with a slight pink tinge and her constantly bobbing Adam's apple.
Xinghe never raised his eyes, but he could feel his master's gaze often falling on him, which made him nervous, and his heart pounded in his chest.
Seeing that his ears were red, Gu Mingyue quickly wiped her mouth with a tissue and smiled. Her red lips were even fuller and redder because of the spicy food.
She knew Xinghe was handsome, but now, dressed in an apron and looking shy like a married man, he seemed even more adorable and good-looking, making her unable to even watch the TV series anymore.
Once the space is fully repaired, she will definitely make Xinghe take off his shirt and put on an apron to cook for her. Just thinking about it makes her happy!
Her current ability level is already at the early stage of level three, which allows her to explore the monster's lair, the Dark Domain.
The Dark Domain now has screening criteria for superhumans; if a superhuman's level is higher than that of the monsters in the Dark Domain, they will not be allowed to enter.
The monsters in the Dark Realm are like fish, and humans are like bait thrown into the water. The Dark Realm does not allow the bait to be stronger than the monsters it breeds.
Logically speaking, both ordinary people and level-one ability users should be able to enter the Dark Domain, but no one is a fool. The monsters inside are more than ten times more terrifying than those outside, and low-level ability users don't even dare to get close.
Ironically, in the later stages, humans continued to sacrifice themselves for the crystal cores and crystal sources inside, including Gu Mingyue herself.
After finishing her meal, Gu Mingyue took a white towel and wiped the black vampire sword, considering what kind of fierce pets she should bring in.
Bang bang bang!
A knock came from the hallway, making her stop wiping the knife.
She put the Bloodsucking Sword into her spatial storage and went outside. She saw Shen Ming, Wei Jianguo, and the others looking serious, as if they had something to report.
The group walked down to the simply furnished meeting room.
Gu Mingyue walked over first and sat in the main seat, allowing everyone to begin their reports.
Shen Ming was the first to follow her and was also the strongest superhuman here besides her and Xinghe. He spoke first like a little adult: "Boss, I took Xiao Ya out on patrol today and found a hospital with a lot of greenery inside, full of plants."
Nowadays, plants are rare. Any grass roots are eaten up by mutated insects. Only those mutated plants that cannot be eaten are left. And nowadays, very few mutated plants have a pure green appearance.
