"This is a ventilation opening that we specially designed; there are more than a dozen similar ventilation openings..."
A staff member was leading Ye Lin, Chen Yujiang, Yue, and several experts around a four-meter square area equipped with ventilation caps, giving them a presentation.
The underground base of City B was finally completed a week after construction began. The top floor and the surrounding area of the underground base were reinforced with 3-meter-thick, finely reinforced stone material paved with underground ore and surrounding rocks, and supported by stone pillars below, which firmly fixed the top floor of the underground base.
The underground base consists of two levels, each 7 meters high, with wide staircases on both sides. The upper level is filled with rows of large communal sleeping areas separated by mud and stones. In times of emergency, comfort is not a concern; the most important thing is to survive.
The entire floor below consists of small single rooms, where Ye Lin and Zheng Qiming also live.
For ventilation, the underground base was equipped with ventilation and drainage pipes. After the project was completed, Ye Lin brought his people to inspect the underground base to see if anything had not been done properly.
After checking everything, the experts conducted thorough measurements and verifications. Once they confirmed there were no problems, Ye Lin finally smiled.
With this underground base, their mortality rate can be greatly reduced during periods of extreme heat, and everyone can survive!
He led these people out of the underground base when suddenly Chen Yu rushed towards him. An electric net blocked Ye Lin's path, directly stopping a wind blade that was flying towards Ye Lin.
"Bang!" The two energies collided and exploded. The strong wind blew Ye Lin's temples, but it did not cause him any harm.
A yellow light flashed in Ye Lin's eyes, and a sharp earth spike rushed towards the direction from which the wind blade had come, only to be blocked by a metal wall. "Bang!"
"Enemy attack!" At this moment, Jiang Yue also fired at the enemy and shouted to other parts of the base. In an instant, several figures rushed over.
When the two superhumans realized their sneak attack had failed, they tried to leave quickly, but Chen Yu had already appeared within a few meters of them, his longsword made of underground ore crackling with electricity as he slashed at them.
The two quickly turned to dodge, but their speed was far too slow compared to Chen Yu, who had awakened his lightning element. They only had time to unleash two bursts of power before Chen Yu subdued them.
One of them had a knife to his neck, and the other was surrounded by an electric fence and had no chance of escape.
"Don't move!"
"Don't kill us! We came here under the orders of our captain, Du Xueting. We are willing to join the B City base and serve it!"
These two superhumans never expected to run into someone as powerful as Chen Yu. They were both considered to have relatively fast superhuman speed, but they still couldn't escape. Once caught, they didn't hide anything and confessed everything without even needing to be interrogated.
Ye Lin strode over and looked at the two superhumans kneeling on the ground. "Take them away and lock them up in the superhuman prison."
"yes!"
Chen Yu frowned as he watched the two superhumans being subdued, then turned to Ye Lin and asked, "What exactly is Du Xueting trying to do? Last time she targeted me, and this time she sent superhumans to attack you. Is she trying to provoke a war between our two bases?"
Ye Lin shook his head, he couldn't figure out Du Xueting's intentions either. "Inform Yang Songming about this and let him figure out a solution himself. If we are not satisfied with the solution, then the two bases will go to war!"
The last time they held back was because of a deal between the two bases; now they have plenty of food.
During this period, they have tested all the survivors inside and outside the base and outside the base gate. The number of ability users has increased to 248, including 23 wood-type ability users!
Given time, once these wood-type ability users have grown up, the base's food problem will be solved, and they won't have to swallow their anger and be ready to go to war at any time!
Just then, the superhuman who had been escorting them returned quickly. "Report to the deputy base commander, the two superhumans who were captured earlier are dead."
"How did he die?" Ye Lin asked, frowning.
The superhuman replied, "We don't know the reason yet, but we've already sent someone to notify the doctor."
"Okay, I'll report back when the results are in."
"yes!"
...
"What exactly do you want!" Yang Songming slammed his fist on the table, panting as he looked down at Du Xueting. "Do you know that our base only has 84 ability users right now! Do you know how many the other side has? More than 240!"
"Tell me how to fight this war!"
Du Xueting didn't speak. Before setting off, she had poisoned both of the superhumans. These toxins were extracted from plants, which she knew best. The poison would take effect in 6 hours. From the time they set off until their attack, even if Ye Lin didn't die and managed to capture and interrogate them, the poison would have taken effect by then, making it impossible for him to get any information out of them.
She never imagined these two would be so spineless, confessing everything the moment they were arrested! Now they've gotten her into this mess; they're utterly useless!
Yang Songming took a deep breath. "To quell this matter, the base used 1,000 tons of grain. You are responsible for this grain! It will have to be squeezed out from your daily output!"
Du Xueting nodded with a somber expression.
Five or six days passed like this. Every day, Lin Ruo went outside to dig up mutated plants, including trees, vines, grass, and flowers. He dug them all up and planted them outside his fortress, which had already formed a small mutated plant forest.
Every day, Afu and Ashou carried plant-suppressing powder with them when they went in and out. Coupled with Aliu's occasional threats, these mutated plants acted as if they didn't see Afu and Ashou, letting them roam freely in the forest.
