The boy curled his lips in disappointment and prepared to roll up the window.

"Next time for sure!"

Ji Mengyao waved to the boy outside the car window. Judging from her expression, she would be determined next time.

"Then I'll go first!"

The boy didn't argue and straightened his sunglasses that had been tilted when he was talking, and the entire truck accelerated forward.

The truck roared its engine and drove ahead of the pickup truck.

"What's going on?"

Ning Yu was very puzzled. What was the purpose of this survivor base with so many zombies?

"Hey, you don't understand this, these are all treasures~"

Ji Mengyao bit the cigarette in her mouth and showed a smug smile, as if saying:

It’s finally my turn to act cool.

"Little sister, have you ever learned about steam engines?"

She looked so pretentious, and it was obvious that she had heard the knowledge second-hand from others.

Ning Yu looked at this guy and felt it was a little funny, so she just nodded slightly.

"With just water and temperature, plus certain equipment, we can obtain energy losslessly."

There was an unconcealable strangeness in Ji Mengyao's words, which made Ning Yu even more certain that she had also heard it from others.

She cleared her throat again and continued:

"Don't underestimate these zombies. Just feed them some flesh and blood and they will stay alive for a long time."

"Aren't they just walking steam engines in our end times? One boils water, and the other boils flesh and blood."

"They don't know how to get tired, they don't have any emotions, they just keep jumping around to do work, and their energy conversion efficiency is extremely high!"

"What do you call this? This is called infinite surplus value! And it is surplus value that does not take humanitarianism into account!"

"Lao Zhuang has prepared some machines and uses them to generate electricity! These zombies are very capable of building things, so come on and build as much as you can!"

Ning Yu opened her eyes wide and her mouth slightly opened. Even though this was a second-hand B that Ji Mengyao was pretending to be, she was still shocked.

What kind of crazy person would not think about how to kill these monsters, but instead think that they have infinite surplus value and want to exploit them?

And when Ning Yu heard the word "humanitarianism", she couldn't help but imagine a funny scene:

People marching on the streets held up humanitarian signs that read "Zombie Lives Matter", passionately and generously proclaiming that zombies also need human rights.

No, this scene is just too funny.

Using zombies to generate electricity, you are amazing, let me translate it for you, what the hell is new energy?

It’s truly a pollution-free, green, and renewable energy source. You must visit it if you get the chance.

Ji Mengyao was obviously very pleased with Ning Yu's surprised expression. Her face was full of pride, and she started to dance to the music in the car stereo.

The car drove for a while, and the two chatted about random things, basically Ning Yu continued to get information.

Through the glass, Shen Yiyue glanced at Ning Yu and Ji Mengyao and saw that they seemed to be chatting very happily. She always felt a little sour and pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

If I had known earlier, I would have sat in the passenger seat!

"Sister, please don't stop. How did you and Sister Ning Yu do later?"

Shen Qianqian saw that her sister suddenly stared at Ning Yu in the car in a daze and forgot to continue telling the story, so she shook Shen Yiyue's eyes with her little hand.

"Oh, then."

Shen Yiyue had to come back to her senses and continue talking, but her eyes kept secretly glancing at the cab.

The man in the suit, Wu Di, also returned to the big box containing the electric saw and did not move, his eyes scanning the surroundings.

We are getting closer to the Ark Base, and the number of zombies is decreasing again.

"It's right in front!"

Ji Mengyao, who was driving, put out the last Blueberry cigarette, and she finally didn't light up another one.

Ning Yu had excellent eyesight and had already seen the Ark Base in front of her, which was originally Yida Plaza. She had listened to Ji Mengyao bragging about it for a long time along the way and finally saw the real thing.

The base has been surrounded by barbed wire barriers. There are spiked obstacles on the top of the wire and trenches outside the wire, which can effectively prevent zombies from climbing.

In the middle is a large connected shopping mall, which is connected to several flat shopping mall buildings by passages.

There seem to be a lot of green plants planted on the connected platform, which serves as a buffer layer, and above the buffer layer is the hotel-style apartment.

It is a very classic commercial and residential structure, with residential areas above and shopping malls below.

The information Lin Hao provided at the time was basically correct.

The surrounding buildings are not adjacent to this place, so there is no need to worry about zombies jumping in from the nearby buildings.

This place is a perfect choice whether you want to accommodate a large number of people or transform the large shopping mall below into various facilities.

Ji Mengyao's car gradually slowed down and drove towards the gate of the base, which was one of the entrances to the shopping mall.

There should have been several entrances on the ground of the mall, which were the gaps between the mall’s buildings, but they were all blocked, leaving only this largest opening.

A gate was built with barbed wire, and people in uniform were standing guard next to the gate.

However, those clothes were just very ordinary T-shirts, which happened to be the same color, and should be used to distinguish their functions.

Come to think of it, why would anyone have the time to print uniforms in this apocalyptic world?

The person standing guard at the door saw Ji Mengyao's pickup truck, showed a familiar expression, and came up for a routine inspection.

"Uncle Li, I'm back~"

Among the people who came up to check, one of them was older and was called Uncle Li by Ji Mengyao. The two seemed to know each other.

She stretched her hand out of the window to greet Uncle Li.

"Oh, it's Mengyao, I'm glad you're back safely."

Uncle Li, who was also wearing a baseball cap, smiled amiably. His temples were starting to turn gray, and he must be at least 50 years old.

"These are the people we rescued during today's mission, right?"

He glanced at Ning Yu in the passenger seat, Shen Yiyue in the back of the car, and the children.

"Yeah."

Ji Mengyao nodded slightly, and another young man who came with Uncle Li to check the situation ran over to open the door.

"Remember to take them for examination first, and then isolate them."

Uncle Li gave Ji Mengyao some instructions and prepared to leave with peace of mind, but he glanced a few more times at Ning Yu who was sitting in the passenger seat.

Why are the clothes of this beautiful silver-haired girl so clean? She doesn't look like a wanderer in the apocalypse at all.

"I know!"

Ji Mengyao waved her hand familiarly, and it was obvious that she often came here to carry out missions.

The pickup truck slowly drove into the Ark Base, and Ning Yu finally saw what the base looked like inside.

Shen Yiyue and a group of children behind her also stood up and looked around.

There is a square surrounded by several shopping malls. There is a fountain in the center of the square, but it has been closed long ago.

People of all kinds were walking around the square.

Some people wearing clothes of the same color and style were moving between different buildings, seemingly busy with something.

They should be the staff members of each group that Ji Mengyao mentioned.

There were also some people dressed casually who seemed to be ordinary survivors.

Some of them were chatting about something in the square, while others were in a hurry, holding things in their hands, and quickly went into several buildings.

If you simply don't look outside, you might think that no disaster has ever happened here.

[Ding! Mission: Go to the gathering place 'Ark' has been completed! ]

[Rewards issued: Physical fitness*1, Charm*1, Points*3000]

As we entered the interior of the Ark, the system's reward prompt arrived as expected.

Add to that the 4,000 points gained from killing the Greedy, and the points for the zombies killed along the way.

After buying the awakening potion, the remaining 2,000 points suddenly became a total of 10,750 points.
