The corpses in the base included some zombie corpses and some human corpses that had been bitten to death. Xia He put all the corpses into her spatial storage, which totaled 131.
"So many people have been lost in such a short time..."
After cleaning up the bodies, Xia He inspected the base one by one. When she got to her floor, she remembered that the two little ones were still in the room!
So he immediately went home. As soon as he opened the door, the two little ones rushed towards Xia He like crazy. Xia He was exhausted at this time. The panda's body pounced on Xia He and knocked her to the ground. The two little ones made whimpering noises, and their little faces were covered with tears.
Xia He was heartbroken. She had been so busy killing zombies that she had completely forgotten about the two little ones. After comforting them, Xia He slowly got up from the ground and looked around the room...
The sofa was torn, the refrigerator was overturned, a table was broken, and the curtains were reduced to tattered strips. The two little ones lowered their heads in shame.
Xia He smiled instead of getting angry, "Alright, I know you're worried about me. I'm fine, I'll take you all with me."
The two little ones then happily followed Xia He and continued patrolling the base. Xia He felt that it was the right decision not to bring the two little ones with her before; it was too dangerous. If the two little ones had been bitten, the consequences would have been unimaginable for Xia He.
After confirming that there were no remaining zombies inside the base, Xia He led the two little ones outside the base. At this time, the defensive wall was almost completed, with only the last bit of finishing work remaining. The defensive wall was encircling the base, forming a circle, and the final step of the enclosure work was underway.
Xia He walked inside the defensive wall, storing the corpses into her spatial storage. Xia He still couldn't contact Xiao Hua.
After collecting the corpses, Xia He, relying on her last bit of spiritual power, piloted the Green Dragon Crescent Blade and threw the corpses 10 kilometers outside the defensive wall before flying back.
Back at the base, with the last metal block joined, the defensive wall was officially completed. The residents wept with joy, collapsing to the ground; some girls even sobbed softly. The completion of the wall brought a sense of relief to everyone in the base, a feeling of elation spreading through the air. Xiao Lin stood before the defensive wall, his gaze sweeping over the surroundings, his expression grave.
"Xia He, you've worked hard." Xiao Lin said to Xia He, looking at her tired face with admiration. Xia He smiled slightly and nodded, her eyes revealing determination.
"We need to reorganize the base, clear the wounded, and restore order. This zombie attack is a wake-up call; we can no longer afford to be careless." Xiao Lin's tone was firm. He understood that this was just the beginning, and more challenges might await them.
Outside the defensive wall, shrouded in night, all was deathly silent. However, this tranquility was merely a facade; the wilderness beyond the wall concealed endless threats.
Under the cover of the polar night, the trees outside the defensive wall rustled in the wind, like the whispers of zombies.
"You've all worked hard, go back and rest now," Xiao Lin said to everyone. After everyone in the base went back inside, Xiao Lin said to Hai Dong, "Arrange for a few people to take turns guarding the defensive wall, and report back immediately if anything happens."
"Okay, boss, you and your wife should go and rest. Your wife doesn't look too well." Hai Dong thoughtfully reminded Xiao Lin, who nodded.
Then, Xia He and the two little ones returned to their room.
After returning to her room, Xia He immediately teleported back to her spatial dimension. "Little Flower! Little Flower! Are you there?"
However, there was no response from Xiaohua within the space. Xiahe ran around the space like a madwoman, but still found no trace of Xiaohua. Disheartened, she returned to the house she had built. As soon as she entered the living room, a wisp of spiritual consciousness floated over. "Xiahe, when you see this wisp of spiritual consciousness, I will have already entered a dormant state. Don't worry, I'm fine. I just don't have enough spiritual energy to support me. I will wake up on my own after a while. During this time, you will only have those two stupid dogs to keep you company. Don't miss me too much!"
After Xiaohua finished speaking, that faint wisp of spiritual consciousness vanished into thin air. "How could this be..."
Xia He slumped to the ground, utterly exhausted. "Is it because of the spiritual energy I just transferred that Xiao Hua went into a dormant state?" Xia He murmured to herself.
However, Xia He didn't dwell on her sorrow for long before leaving the space. She first gave the purified crystal core to the two little ones, and then entered a state of cultivation. Her current spiritual power was still insufficient, and she didn't know how the zombies would develop in the later stages. Moreover, there should be many secrets near this oil field!
"I need to improve my strength. If my spiritual power were strong enough, Xiao Hua wouldn't have..." Xia He fell into deep self-blame and locked herself in her room to cultivate day and night. However, in the current state of extreme darkness, she couldn't distinguish between day and night at all.
Inside the base, after cleaning and tidying, it has returned to its previous state. In the past few days, the zombies have been less active, and there have been no large-scale invasions like before. People take turns on duty every day, and the ability users can deal with the zombies they occasionally encounter. With the defensive wall in place, the zombie attacks have indeed decreased a lot.
During this time, Xiao Lin led his people to explore the surrounding area. Xiao Lin's mental exploration was still unusable, but they successfully extracted oil, so the base's energy problem was no longer a concern. However, there were no other resources nearby besides oil.
Water resources are currently the most scarce resource in the base. Water-type ability users are in high demand because the entire base relies on them for water. Although water-type ability users can use their abilities to provide water resources, it is only enough for the most basic daily water needs. If they want to use the water to take a bath or do anything else, that is basically a pipe dream.
