Chapter 235 Unimaginable
As Meng Shiwan and his group approached the city center of Shuicheng, the number of zombies increased.
In the rain, things were not clear, and all that could be seen were the dense, surging shadows around him. As a result, Meng Shiwan's vines lost some of their aim in the acid rain.
She kept trying to poke the zombie's head, but she couldn't get it to go any further.
Even so, her sprawling vines, swaying in the acid rain, still created a spectacular sight.
Ye Sangyu, in the car behind, looked at the overwhelming vines in front of her, which harvested all the zombies near and far, leaving them only a pile of corpses. She felt a chill run down her spine.
"The strength of a level seven ability user is simply unimaginable."
Level 7 and Level 6 may seem similar, but there is a gap that is difficult to bridge.
Lin Jingsong withdrew his wood-type ability, saying, "We should just follow along obediently; there's no need for us to use our abilities."
They thought that crossing the city and being besieged by the zombie horde would be very dangerous for them.
Based on the current situation, Chun Chun was overthinking it.
Zombies? Where did these zombies come from? With Meng Shiwan leading the charge, not a single zombie will be left for them.
The two vehicles slowly made their way towards the city center through the acid rain.
A bright light suddenly appeared, shining from the front onto the windshield of the car, flashing continuously.
Meng Shiwan frowned and looked up. The signal was coming from a tall building directly in front of her, and it looked like a distress signal.
During the acid rain season, I haven't been to the seed base yet, and I don't have a strong ability to resist natural disasters. I'm just hiding in a high-rise building. I'm afraid my life is not easy right now.
Presumably, they saw their headlights and realized they could travel through acid rain, so they sent out a distress signal.
Ye Sangyu sent a message asking, "Sister, there seem to be people in that building up ahead. Should we go check it out?"
If it were the Meng Shiwan of the past, she certainly wouldn't have bothered with such matters. However, the current Meng Shiwan has a large and powerful family, so she has more to consider.
If the other party is to your liking, it seems like a good idea to recruit them and take them back to farm.
"Let's go take a look."
Meng Shiwan's RV drove ahead, heading towards the building.
People upstairs saw two cars approaching and stopped flashing their lights.
Yang Wen put down the flashlight in her hand and said happily, "At this time, the people who can still drive outside are most likely from the seed base. When they come over, we will ask them to take us to the seed base. Once we get to the seed base, we will be completely safe."
Five people stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window. The other four were not happy about Yang Wen's words; instead, they became even more serious.
One of the tall, thin men said in a deep voice, "Do you know that by doing this you are putting our entire base in danger? What if they are not from the Seed Base? What if they are bad guys who are not here to rescue us, but to rob us?"
Yang Wen's smile faded slightly. "No, if they can travel in acid rain, even if it's not a seed base, it must be a large base. No matter which base it is, as long as we go with them, it's better than staying here."
Li Changrui continued to question, "What's wrong with staying here? Before the acid rain came, we prepared enough supplies to feed our 800-plus people for a long time. We could have stayed here comfortably and protected our own base. Why did we have to go to someone else's base?"
Hearing his repeated questions, Yang Wen also became a little angry. "Why, why? Don't you know? I've said it many times: acid rain is far more corrosive than we imagine. It can even corrode walls. The walls on the first floor have been flooded with acid rain, and the corrosion is very serious. They may face the danger of collapse. We could die at any time if the building collapses. Isn't that reason enough?"
Li Changrui said impatiently, "I've said it countless times, only the outer walls are corroded; the steel and cement inside are fine. The building's structure won't collapse due to acid rain corrosion."
Because of some unnecessary worries, you're going to hand over the base we built with our own hands. You don't even know where those people down there come from, yet you say you want to go with them.
"You are the one who put the entire base in danger, don't you understand?"
Yang Wen retorted, "I didn't. I was looking for an escape route for the more than 800 people at the base. It's dangerous here. High-rise buildings can collapse in acid rain."
Seeing that the two were arguing more and more fiercely, several people nearby quickly tried to break them up.
"Alright, alright, you two lovebirds, it wasn't easy for us to build this base together, don't keep arguing over this little thing."
"You two are both thinking about the future of the base. Neither of you is wrong. Let's discuss it properly."
"How about this, let's go and find out more about those people before making a decision. It would be great if our base could have better development."
Yang Wen turned to leave, but was stopped by someone. "Base Commander, you shouldn't go. We don't know their background. It's best to be careful. A few of us will go and take a look."
"Come on, Li Changrui, what are you standing there for? This is such a dangerous thing, do you really want your girlfriend to go? You're a grown man, you can argue, but you still have to go when something happens."
Several people dragged Li Changrui out of the office, leaving Yang Wen red-faced with anger.
In the early days of the apocalypse, she and Li Changrui gathered some people with superpowers and slowly built up the base. They paid a lot during this time and lost friends, which led to the base with more than 800 people that they have today.
Supplies are not in urgent need, and the food we have stockpiled is enough to last for a long time.
Everything was on track. They led more than 800 people and had just started to enjoy a stable life and the fruits of their labor. They were definitely unwilling to join other bases with her.
Yang Wen could understand their opposition to handing over the achievements they had made at the risk of their lives to other bases.
But there was nothing she could do about it. She had been keeping an eye on the situation on the first floor, and the corrosion of the walls was not looking good.
The building is indeed at risk of collapsing, and when that happens, everyone will die here.
If that's the case, she'd rather join another base, where at least everyone can live a peaceful life.
Yang Wen also saw online that ability-enhancing liquids are now available for sale, so going to the large base could be an opportunity.
Li Changrui followed the group downstairs, still fuming. "What did you just say? What do you mean by 'discussing again'? What do we have to discuss? Do you really want to give everything we have to someone else and start all over again at another base?"
"You're in power here, controlling food distribution. So many beautiful women come to you to chat you up—did you ever experience this kind of treatment before the apocalypse? Are you really willing to give it all up like this?"
