Chapter 325 It was originally ruins, with nowhere left to collapse
Then, accusations against the Liexiong Base appeared online.
#Dawn Base is brutal and ruthless. It's a complete waste to have such prime farmland in their hands. We at the base have heard that level-two crystal cores have appeared in Shangguan City. The chance of a level-two zombie having a crystal core in its head is over 90%, and even ordinary zombies have a 60-70% chance. It's unheard of!
When our base's superhumans heard about it, they only wanted to go and hunt the crystal cores, but they were all massacred by Dawn Base.
Even though it's the apocalypse and the rules don't exist, shouldn't basic human conscience still be there? There are thousands of superhumans involved!
These superhumans salvaged countless supplies and saved numerous survivors in the early days of the apocalypse; calling them heroes would not be an exaggeration. Now, they have all died unjustly in Shangguan City, becoming the wronged souls of the Dawn Base.
This is outrageous! Where is justice? Dawn Base demands an explanation! #
The news immediately attracted widespread attention and put Dawn Base in the spotlight.
—Huh? Is this what Dawn Base is like? Lately, the internet has been saying that the Dawn Base leader is strong and beautiful, and that they sell ability-enhancing fluids and fruits and vegetables, and that it's a paradise-like farm. I didn't expect them to be so ruthless.
—Don't believe everything you hear. The Fierce Bear Base isn't any better. I've heard they're very brutal to survivors, killing them at the drop of a hat. How can you call them vicious?
—In the early days of the apocalypse, superhumans did help us a lot. How could so many people have made it into the base without their help? Killing over a thousand superhumans for no reason is going too far. This can't even be described as vicious. Are there any people from Shangguan City who can come out and explain what happened?
—I'm from Shangguan City. I killed two and got two bottles of power-enhancing fluid. I'm happy. When are you guys coming next time? I haven't killed enough yet.
—Vicious! Not only is Dawn Base vicious, but everyone in Shangguan City is vicious. How cruel! How can they hunt down so many superhumans when they have no grudge against them?
—Dawn Base, shouldn't you come out and give us an explanation? What you've done is utterly despicable. Why did you do this?
Although those who have survived to this day are not exactly kind or good people.
However, if you're too malicious, people will still point fingers and curse at you.
Dawn Base inexplicably besieged over a thousand superhumans, exchanging their severed hands for superhuman enhancement fluid, and they seemed to enjoy it immensely.
To those unaware of the truth, it was nothing short of horrific.
The internet is full of people clamoring for Dawn Base to give an explanation, and demanding an explanation for how such a brutal and vicious attack on Dawn Base could be carried out.
They were terrified that the people from Dawn Base would rush out at any moment and slit their throats.
A brainless person, even if they experience life and death, will still be brainless; they will just follow whoever sets the tone.
Just two days ago, Dawn Base was the envy of everyone, but now it has suddenly become the target of public criticism.
However, the people from Shangguan City were on the side of Dawn Base.
—A bunch of idiots. If I were you, anyone with a bit of skill would come to Shangguan City. Shangguan City and Dawn Base are full of opportunities now. What kind of world is this? What's the use of cursing online?
Are you afraid that you'll be the next victims of brutality? You're overthinking it. What's the point of killing trash like you? It's too much trouble.
—Is Dawn Base bad? We ability users in Shangguan City, as long as we're not complete trash, can get a thousand or so crystal cores, drink ability enhancement fluid, and become intermediate ability users. But you bunch of good-for-nothings, all you can do is yell and shout.
The emergence of the Dawn Base has indeed provided many superhumans in Shangguan City with some good opportunities.
They knew who the key player was and firmly stood by Dawn Base.
Their remarks drew fierce criticism online, with many condemning them as brutal, saying the world has changed and humanity has vanished.
Amidst the uproar online, Dawn Base responded.
As if afraid others wouldn't know this was a Dawn Base account, they even deliberately used the name 'Dawn Base Official Account' to leave comments under the long post from the Fierce Bear Base.
—I'm from Dawn Base. I have nothing to say about this, nothing to respond to. If you want to kill, then kill. I'm happy, no, I mean, I'm happy even if I have a thousand lives.
That's incredibly arrogant of me.
The netizens were so angry that they started flooding the comments section with messages.
—This is insane! I never imagined Dawn Base was like this. I really misjudged you guys before.
"Life is tough, and it's understandable to kill someone out of necessity, but to kill someone just because you're happy is going too far. Those were over a thousand people with superpowers. How could you say such a thing?"
—Demon, devil, pervert, damn it.
After sending this message, Meng Shiwan put down her phone and nestled into the sofa in the RV to continue watching a movie.
She didn't need to read any further to know that those people online were probably furious and would hurl incredibly nasty insults.
But she is Meng Shiwan. No one can hold her hostage if she has no morals.
Moral blackmail and accusations are used to restrain those who cherish their reputation.
Meng Shiwan believed that she herself was a ruin, and that she couldn't collapse any further.
In this apocalyptic world, what's the point of cyberbullying? No one will suffer social death because of it; it's just a matter of life or death.
Cao Lie was naturally aware of this. His purpose in doing this was not to get people to criticize the Dawn Base or Meng Shiwan, but to prepare for his next move.
The Fierce Bear Base then continued to publish information online.
#The Fierce Bear Base has issued a bounty: There are square, black cubes in Shangguan City. These were discovered by over a thousand of our base's ability users while hunting level-two zombies in Shangguan City. They have a unique texture and are a new type of material.
We strongly suspect that these black cubes are related to the evolution of zombies in Shangguan City. Our base's ability users may have discovered the unusual nature of these black cubes while hunting level-two zombies in Shangguan City, which is why they were killed by Dawn Base to silence them.
My base is now offering a bounty: anyone who brings twenty Black Cubes to my Fierce Bear base can exchange them for a bottle of Ability Enhancement Liquid.
The ability-enhancing fluid used in our base was purchased from the Creation Origin Base; it's absolutely pure and has no side effects. Our base must find out the secret behind Dawn Base's cover-ups and murders. #
These blatant lies have completely fooled those who are unaware of the truth.
—Oh my god, so that's how it is. The zombies in Shangguan City evolved collectively because of human intervention. No wonder the zombies in other places didn't evolve, but only those in Dawn Base did.
—Dawn Base is worse than we imagined. They're actually promoting the evolution of zombies on a large scale. Those are zombies! How much harm will they cause to people? It's too dangerous.
—The power-enhancing fluid and such are unimportant. I just can't stand people doing things that are against humanity, and I have to find out the truth about it.
—If you want to earn superpower enhancement liquid, just say so. Why are you making yourself sound so righteous?
The allure of the ability-enhancing fluid to those with superpowers is self-evident.
Now they don't need to kill zombies; they just need to go to Shangguan City to find Black Cubes. Twenty of them can be exchanged for one, which is quite tempting for those with superpowers.
Those who live nearby and can go there are basically all itching to go and are ready to set off.
This is an opportunity.
It seems that for people with superpowers, any opportunity to easily obtain superpower enhancement fluid is considered a good one.
The superhumans in Shangguan City, who were shouting their support for Dawn Base online just a second ago, grabbed their phones and rushed into the city the next second.
While I wholeheartedly support it, I can't miss out on the opportunity to earn that power-enhancing liquid.
Liu Mancang led his group of henchmen on a wild run, shouting, "Here it comes! The event to exchange for ability enhancement fluid is back! Who cares whose it is? We're going to participate. It's all opportunity! Opportunities are everywhere!"
They had found quite a few of these things in the city before, but they didn't know what they were. They never imagined that these things could be so valuable.
As Shangguan City became lively again, Tao Yarong hurriedly went to the small garden to find Meng Shiwan.
She knocked on Meng Shiwan's RV door, and the sound of a movie playing came from inside. "Sis, something's happened."
Meng Shiwan turned off the monitor and opened the RV door. "I saw it online, has Qin Nianshu returned?"
As soon as the news of the Fierce Bear Base came out, not to mention the superhumans who were on their way, even the superhumans in Shangguan City would be so excited that they would turn Shangguan City upside down.
With so many people with superpowers searching, it's hard to guarantee that someone won't just happen to find the real one.
We need to have someone guard the spot.
Tao Yarong nodded, "I contacted them yesterday. Qin Nianshu and the others have already transported a batch of zombies back. I don't know if they've set off again yet."
Meng Shiwan pondered, "Let her come back, guard her elementary school, and don't let a single person in. Tell her that the real black cube is under the podium in Class 2, Grade 3. If there's any emergency, tell her to bring the black cube back."
"Have Tang Xiaoyu and the other two keep watch nearby. They should be level seven ability users now, fully capable of handling this."
Qin Nianshu can control zombies, and even the most powerful superhumans will find it difficult to deal with a horde of zombies.
With the cooperation of three more level-seven ability users, there shouldn't be any major problems.
As for the one that was kept in the hospital, she went to get it. Putting the two black cubes in one place would make them easier to guard.
Let them flip through the rest of the fake ones.
Tao Yarong replied, "Okay, I'll contact her."
Meng Shiwan thought for a moment, "Tell Lei Zhe to send the guards into the city to hunt zombies and collect crystal cores. Try to get enough crystal cores in the shortest possible time so that they can all be upgraded to level seven ability users."
Now that Dawn Base is in the eye of the storm, it may not be able to stay peaceful in the future.
What they need to do is grow up as quickly as possible in the shortest amount of time.
As for the Fierce Bear Base, it really can't be kept.
The fact that Meng Shiwan has tolerated their antics until now shows that she has been quite good-tempered.
