Chapter 277 The more you jump around, the faster you die.
Meng Shiwan stayed in the RV, enjoying her leisurely time.
Today's event is a dessert and fruit party, featuring freshly picked fruit and plenty of desserts stored in the space.
Eight-inch mini cakes, mochi, packaged bread, cake boxes, and various cookies and desserts were piled high on the small square table.
She turned on the monitor, connected the controller, and started playing the farming game she hadn't played in a long time.
This kind of game is very grindy; you can easily spend several hours playing it without realizing it.
She nestled on the sofa, stacked a few pillows, found a comfortable position, and could play there all day.
While she enjoys a peaceful life, Shangguan City is now bustling with activity.
Several remarkable pieces of news are spreading rapidly throughout the city.
"Have you heard? The farm in the northern suburbs has incredibly powerful people. Anyone who tries to take advantage of them dies. That's why they can be so high-profile. They're really capable."
"Of course he's capable. That base is called Dawn Base, and it's causing a huge stir online. Everyone's saying that the base commander is a genius, a level seven ability user with more than a dozen types of abilities."
"My God! I've never even heard of dual-elemental ability users. More than a dozen types of abilities! Besides the basic abilities, there are many rare abilities, and they are all advanced ability users. Are they even human? How are we low-level single-elemental ability users supposed to survive?"
"Stop being envious. Those people are truly the chosen ones, fed by God. You probably can't find another one like them in the whole world. Let's just be our little minions."
Since the apocalypse, Meng Shiwan has been wandering around collecting supplies. She has never deliberately hidden her abilities, and many people have seen her use her multi-elemental powers.
Especially during the last time we were in the cave, basically all the powerful bases that went there had people there.
Her displays of strength shocked many people, and many are quite familiar with her.
Now that news has come out that Dawn Base is selling crops and power-enhancing fluids, people are very curious about her, the base's director.
By digging into things like this, with you pointing out bits and pieces and me revealing bits and pieces of information, we've roughly pieced together Meng Shiwan's information and capabilities.
Netizens now think that being able to grow crops and make superpower-enhancing fluids are nothing compared to the true awesomeness of the Dawn Base's commander.
No wonder they dare to be so high-profile with such good stuff; they really have the ability.
Besides these, the survivors of Shangguan City were also paying attention to other news.
"The vegetable roots sold at Dawn Base for one crystal core per kilogram are too expensive. You have to kill dozens of zombies to afford them."
"I haven't had enough dietary fiber in my body for a long time, and I'm constipated. Even though it's expensive, I'd still like to buy some to eat. My body can't live without dietary fiber."
"I heard that the zombies in Shangguan City may riot recently. Many people say not to go too far in, but just kill some in the suburbs. Otherwise, you may not be able to get out."
"No wonder. I was wondering why the zombies have been getting more and more agile lately. They run incredibly fast and are definitely dangerous."
"I also heard that Dawn Base might be recruiting another batch of people. If we can get into Dawn Base, will we still have to worry about not having vegetables to eat?"
"That sounds nice, but so many people want to go. How could it be our turn?"
"Let's keep an eye out for it. What if we get a chance to get in? It might be a chance to change our fate."
These messages spread rapidly within Shangguan City, as if all eyes were on the situation at the Dawn Base.
Some quick-thinking and capable individuals within the city were already standing outside the Dawn Base.
"Hello, we'd like to buy the ability enhancement fluid. Can we purchase it now?"
“We want to buy some vegetables. I saw online that we can exchange supplies for vegetables, is that right? I have a batch of precious metals.”
A row of cars of all sizes were parked by the roadside, and a group of people stood at the edge of the farm asking questions of the people working inside.
These people all came from Shangguan City or nearby cities after seeing the news online, bringing supplies with them.
Rezer and a group of people were building a house; they needed to build a sales building on the edge of a farm next to the road.
The building is situated on the edge of the farm, with the base territory inside the walls and scorched earth corroded by acid rain outside the walls—it fits perfectly.
This is to prevent people with malicious intentions from harming the staff, and to better protect the safety of the staff.
After all, everything inside the Dawn Base is too attractive to people.
In case anyone has any malicious intentions, the staff inside the sales building will be safer under the protection of the base's defense system.
After hearing what Tao Yarong said, Lei Zhe and his team started construction here.
The light steel structure houses are much simpler to build, and with a group of superhumans working here, the efficiency is exceptionally high.
The sales building has now been topped out and is almost complete.
The structure is simple, and there's no interior decoration; it's barely big enough to open a business.
Standing on the rooftop, Lei Zhe addressed the waiting crowd, "You all line up yourselves, we'll make the arrangements, and we should be able to start selling soon."
The crowd, who had been standing there listlessly, suddenly sprang into action, all wanting to be at the front of the line and be the first to buy.
They were afraid that if they missed out, they wouldn't be able to buy it anymore.
Most of these people are people with superpowers, and when people with superpowers fight, the scene is extraordinary.
Lei Zhe, standing on the rooftop, was speechless. "What are you doing? What's there to steal?"
We have plenty of power-enhancing fluid in stock; we can't possibly sell it all. You can have as much as you want. We also have a good stock of agricultural products; it's only a matter of time before you all can't buy them all.
"If you're going to fight, go somewhere else, or I'll beat you up."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt relieved and obediently lined up.
Someone in the line whispered, "These people are so arrogant, can't we just rob them?"
His companion chuckled, “We already investigated. This Dawn Base appeared here yesterday. Many people in Shangguan City’s first reaction upon seeing it was to rob it, and then thousands of people died, most of them superhumans. See those skeletons over there? None of the corpses are intact.”
"Don't you even use your brain? Dawn Base has an abundance of ability enhancement fluid. Do you think they wouldn't drink it themselves? How could they be weak? We're just lowly minions who've never even tried ability enhancement fluid. What are we supposed to do by stealing it? We should just buy it honestly."
"The commander of Dawn Base, who dares to mess with him? The stuff is good, but only if you're alive to enjoy it."
The people in the queue stared longingly at the vast farm, their minds filled with all sorts of wicked thoughts, but in the end they gave up and obediently lined up to buy.
The seed bases dare not make a move, and the major private bases are also silent. What are these small bases trying to do?
The more you jump around, the faster you die.
