Chapter 301 Too Terrifying
The people queuing nearby were startled by this sudden scene, but after a moment of commotion, they quickly calmed down.
They've seen too much death to be as terrified as they were back then.
Tao Yarong sighed as she looked at the man's corpse and said to the people in line, "Next."
Death is not necessarily terrifying, and living is not necessarily fortunate. In this world, there is no longer any distinction between good and bad; everything is rotten to the core.
Several equally emaciated men suddenly rushed up, their eyes gleaming.
"We'll help you dispose of the body."
After saying that, they carried the body away.
Meng Shiwan sat in the recliner, watching this scene unfold, and then looked up at the sky.
Inside the base, the sky was clear and cloudless, with the sun shining brightly. Outside the base, the sky was gray and hazy, as if the clouds were covering the sun, making it impossible to see the light of day again.
A clear dividing line separates the two worlds.
She poured the last drop of the power-enhancing liquid from the water glass into her stomach.
The power of the ability-enhancing fluid fluctuated within her body. Meng Shiwan closed her eyes and released her powerful ability. The seeds that had just been planted in the base began to grow rapidly and mature.
The Dawn Base, which had been completely harvested and looked somewhat bare, was once again covered by a vibrant and bountiful harvest scene.
Golden wheat fields and green vegetables create a beautiful picture.
Everyone standing outside the base stared blankly at the scene before them, their shock evident in their expressions.
"This...this is simply a miracle! How could a seed that was just planted mature in an instant?"
"I always thought that Dawn Base was just a place where you could grow crops. No one ever told me that crops in Dawn Base mature in a second. That's terrifying! How much skill does it take to do that?"
"It's simply a miracle. No wonder the world is in such a dilapidated state now, with Dawn Base being the only place that remains a haven of peace. It's a hope left to humanity by heaven. Has paradise fallen to earth? How can it be so miraculous?"
"May Buddha protect us! I knew the Buddha would not forget humanity. Is this the hope that the Buddhas left for humanity?"
People felt fear, surprise, shock, and relief; countless emotions were mixed together, making them seem somewhat pitiful and pathetic.
The superhumans buying things at the sales building were much calmer.
"Has the strength of the Dawn Base Commander reached such a terrifying level? Isn't that a bit too strong?"
"A level seven ability user is terrifying. Sure enough, each subsequent level up brings a completely different quantitative change, and the gap between each level is like an insurmountable chasm."
"Don't mess with Dawn Base, don't mess with Dawn Base, whoever you mess with, don't mess with Dawn Base."
The strength that Dawn Base has consistently demonstrated has been terrifying.
"It's not that we can't afford to offend them. Seed Base and Dawn Base are on good terms. Dawn Base hasn't fully grown yet. No matter how strong a small base of a thousand people is, it's still just a thousand people. Ants can kill an elephant. If the major bases launch a coordinated attack, Dawn Base will definitely be able to withstand it."
"It's just that Dawn Base hasn't done anything to offend anyone, and since the power-enhancing fluid and crops are sold externally, no one's doing this."
"You only dare to say that. When it comes to actually being in the front, you chicken out faster than anyone else."
People lined up, looking into the Dawn Base with eyes full of envy.
That truly is another world separate from this wasteland.
Meanwhile, Qin Nianshu and her group had arrived at the edge of the city.
Qin Dongguo was still grumbling, "Qin Nianshu, do you really have a lot of crystal cores? Where did you get them? Let us use them, and we'll go buy more ability enhancement fluids first. Once we're stronger, we can win this selection and make you proud when we get to the base, right?"
He looked at the small figure following beside him, still lost in his daydreams, completely unaware of what awaited him next.
The second brother nodded frantically, "Yes, yes, yes, good niece, consider it a loan of your crystal core. We can return it to you after we become stronger and rampage through the zombie hordes, obtaining the crystal cores in the process."
The fifth brother coaxed Qin Nianshu, "You're just a little girl, and you get bullied a lot in the base. If we become stronger and become the top performers in this selection, we'll be entrusted with important responsibilities at the Dawn Base. You'll benefit from that too, and then no one will dare to bully you anymore."
Qin Nianshu lowered her head and sneered.
Bullying her?
The person who bullied her the most in this world was right next to her.
Did Dawn Base ever bully her?
Qin Nianshu thought about it carefully. Apart from the base leader locking her in a cage, everyone else seemed to treat her quite well.
The candy Lulu's mom bought for her was very sweet, the stewed chicken she made was really delicious, and Lulu's comic books were very interesting.
Even strangers she meets on the street will smile and compliment her, saying she's really cute, but too thin, and tell her to eat more.
An aunt gave her a tomato, which was sweet and sour and very delicious.
Who bullied her? Who on earth bullied her?
Qin Nianshu's voice was cold, but very soft, and lacked any intimidation. "I do have many crystal cores, but they are not on my person, so I cannot take them out."
Qin Dongguo quickly laughed and said, "It's at Dawn Base, right? It's okay, you can go back and get it. We'll wait for you. Look at you, you're a space ability user, how can you leave such an important thing at Dawn Base? What if it gets stolen? It should be in your space, that's the safest place."
Qin Nianshu looked up at him, "Go back to get it? Are you really planning to let the base commander know that you're all a bunch of useless trash, and that you have no ability whatsoever without my crystal cores and help?"
"Weren't you all guaranteed admission? So what if you don't have crystal cores? Can't you kill zombies yourselves to find crystal cores and prove your strength?"
She spoke without any mercy.
A group of grown men were being called trash by a primary school student, and several of them blushed with embarrassment.
Feeling humiliated, Qin Dongguo raised his hand and slapped Qin Nianshu across the face.
"How dare you talk to your father like that? You're my daughter, what's wrong with using some of your crystal cores? Stop being so stingy and making excuses. We're all your elders, how can you talk to your elders like that? Just take the crystal cores I tell you to take, stop with the nonsense!"
Qin Nianshu sneered, "So tough, huh? Since you're not useless and you're so capable, then pass the selection on your own merits. Don't rely on me for a recommendation. Since you don't need me, I'll just go back to the base."
After saying that, she turned and left, completely resigned to her fate.
The third brother quickly grabbed her, "Good niece, your father is angry, don't be angry. You're right, we were all recommended for admission because of your connections. Participating in the selection is just a formality. We don't need crystal cores or ability enhancement fluid. Don't be angry."
