"yes!"
...
"Why do you only accept people with superpowers? We ordinary survivors have traveled thousands of miles to seek refuge here at the official base. As the capital base of the country, how can you not take us in!"
"How many people have died trying to get here... How can you bear to do this..."
A large number of ordinary survivors gathered outside and argued loudly with the soldiers guarding the city gate. Some of them even came up and started tearing at the soldiers because they were women, but the soldiers remained unmoved.
But the B City base has just reached a balance in food supply. If this gap is opened, there will be another food shortage immediately. They are not stupid.
Therefore, only those with superpowers and those who control mutated beasts are accepted; others, no matter how strong, will not be accepted.
The noise grew louder and louder, which soon attracted the attention of the superhumans on duty on the city wall that day. Without any further ado, they punched the survivor who was standing at the front and speaking the loudest, sending him flying. The survivor flew backward and knocked down several people behind him. They all lay on the ground howling in pain, but they couldn't get up no matter what.
The superhuman said to the soldiers guarding the city, "The deputy base commander only ordered us not to kill base members. These people aren't. If they cause any more trouble, just shoot them!"
"Yes, sir!" The soldiers immediately pointed their guns at the troublemakers.
Many of the rioters reached for their waists, clearly indicating they also carried guns, but upon seeing the superhumans on the city wall, they all withdrew their hands.
"Tch! What's so great about him? I won't even come in next time you invite me!"
A group of survivors slunk back to the outskirts of the B City base.
The night was silent, but from deep within the dugouts on the outskirts of the base, screams of agony could be heard.
Zhao Hui, who was making a deal with the survivors, noticed something was wrong and sent his men to check. But the men never returned.
Li Wei frowned, exchanged a glance with Zhao Hui, and chased after the direction his subordinate had left in.
He soon realized something was wrong. The closer he got to the dugout, the stronger the smell of blood became. He slowly approached without making a sound and soon reached the dugout, where he witnessed an unforgettable scene.
The brother who came out with me when it got dark today was still alive and kicking when he came out, but now he has been disemboweled and his head has been cut off and placed to one side, his face facing Li Wei. The look of terror on his face is frozen in time. And next to his body, a group of people are gathered around, eating his boiled, pale thighs and arms with relish.
The pot next to him was still bubbling away, cooking his internal organs!
"Old Zhou, hurry! We're running out of tools!" a man stirring the pot shouted to the people inside.
A dark glint flashed in Li Wei's eyes. Just as he was about to go down and kill these people, he saw a hand suddenly extend from one of the people who were eating, and at the same time, a metal rod several meters long extended out of his hand.
The person standing by the pot naturally took the metal rod and put it inside to stir.
A superhuman!
Li Wei dared not make any rash moves and slowly retreated back to the ranks. When he returned, his face was still very pale. The scene he had just witnessed was too disgusting, and his stomach was still churning.
Zhao Hui glanced behind him and then saw Li Wei's unpleasant expression. His own face darkened. "Where's Xiao Wu?"
Li Wei glanced around but remained silent.
Zhao Hui realized what was happening and immediately said to his underling, "Let's go, pack up!"
Those who hadn't yet received their grain immediately protested, "We've only been exchanging for grain for an hour, and it'll be my turn soon!"
Zhao Hui glared at him fiercely, "I'm not in a good mood today. If you keep nagging, I'm not coming out to change!"
After saying that, he led Li Wei and a group of his underlings back to the base in City B.
"What's wrong?"
Li Wei pondered for a moment, then pulled Zhao Hui aside and said to the underlings, "You guys go back first and count our crystal cores. Zhao Hui and I have some things to do."
"Alright, Brother Li, we'll head back now."
These guys were also very happy. Finishing work early today was like having a holiday, and they were thinking of going to the alley to have some fun.
After they had gone some distance, Li Wei pulled a bewildered Zhao Hui toward the inner entrance.
As Zhao Hui walked, he asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Is Xiao Wu dead? Then what are you doing in the inner area?"
Li Wei suddenly stopped and turned to look at Zhao Hui, "Xiao Wu is dead, he... he was eaten..."
“A mutated beast has come to the outer perimeter? I didn’t hear any noise…” Zhao Hui had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized something, and his face turned increasingly grim. “It’s been…”
Li Wei closed his eyes and nodded. He had always known that when food was scarce, people would resort to cannibalism, but he never imagined that he would witness the scene he had just seen.
"Moreover, some of those cannibals are superhumans. This is a serious matter and must be reported to the base. If there are cannibals around, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of the base's survivors when they go out. Even we will not be able to escape their clutches."
"right!"
When Jiang Yue heard that it was the two people Lin Ruo had contacted last time who came to see him, he thought that Lin Ruo had something to ask them to convey, so he came out quickly.
"What's wrong? Does Lin Ruo have something she wants you to tell me?"
Li Wei's expression was grim. "No...we've discovered cannibals..."
After listening to Li Wei and Zhao Hui's report, Jiang Yue's face turned ashen. He immediately told them, "Don't worry, the base will definitely not sit idly by."
Jiang Yue bid farewell to Li Wei and the others, then turned back to the inner layer to report the matter to Ye Lin, "...According to them, the other side also has superhumans, but he doesn't know how many. These people are staying outside our city, and it will be very dangerous for the survivors in our city to go out."
Ye Lin's face was also very ugly. The reason he didn't stop Zhao Hui and the others from exchanging food outside was because he didn't want these survivors to take extreme measures, but he didn't expect that such people would still appear.
"Go find Chen Yu and ask him to cooperate with you in eradicating these cannibals. Eliminate all cannibals, regardless of who they are or whether they are superhumans or not. Don't leave any future threats!"
"yes!"
