Longquan Survival Base.
Base commander's office.
The secretary, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, a white shirt, and a bow tie, exuding an elite aura, knocked on the door of the base director's office with a document in his hand and walked in hurriedly with a serious expression.
"What happened? Why do you look so unhappy?" The base commander of Longquan Base was a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. He was originally reviewing the documents sent in today, but when he looked up, he saw that his secretary, who was usually calm, now had an extremely unhappy face.
Captain Liu frowned, feeling that something big had happened.
"Something's wrong with the base commander!"
The secretary's face was grim as he spoke rapidly. "Two weeks ago, we lost contact with Changming Base in the southwest region. We thought it was the same as before, with the signal tower malfunctioning due to mutant plants and animals, and that we could just wait for it to be repaired. But we didn't expect several Changming Base survivors, accompanied by flying mutant beasts, to arrive outside the base. They told the soldiers defending the base that a group of people with a large number of mutant beasts suddenly attacked in the middle of the night two weeks ago. The entire base was destroyed in just one day!"
"These survivors are actually some clever mutants. I led them out of the encirclement in the middle of the night and they survived." The secretary's tone was heavy. Even if he just listened to the survivors' stories, the tragic scene of that night flashed through his mind involuntarily.
"What?! Someone brought mutant animals to attack the survival base, and the base was instantly destroyed?! This is impossible!"
Base Captain Liu's pupils shrank slightly, and he instinctively slammed his hands on the table. His expression grew increasingly grim. "Mingchang Base's location isn't the best among the eight survival bases in the country, with lush vegetation and mutant animals surrounding it. But Mingchang Base has a large population and vast land area. The total area of the base is twice that of ours, and the population has reached 32 million."
"How could such a large base disappear just like that?!" If these words had not been spoken by his secretary, Base Commander Liu would have almost suspected that he was hallucinating.
Fortunately, having been in a high position for many years, Base Commander Liu quickly calmed down. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed his shock and said seriously, "Tell me what happened. Why did they destroy the entire Mingchang Base in just one night? Mingchang Base has a population of 32 million, plus so many mutant beasts and weapons. Is there no one who can react?"
"At worst, with so many people at Mingchang Base, how come they couldn't even send out a distress signal? Are you sure those people weren't lying? If this is true, ask them carefully if they saw clearly who those people were. How many people and mutant beasts attacked Mingchang Base?" Base Commander Liu kept tapping his fingers on the table, his anxious fingers tense.
There are a total of 8 survival bases in the country, but Longquan Base is the closest to Mingchang Base.
A group of people who could bring mutant animals and directly attack the survival base without regard for the lives of ordinary survivors were definitely not kind people. If these villains had the strength, it was very likely that the next target would be their Longquan Survival Base!
All the complicated thoughts in his heart turned into cold and fierce gazes, and Base Director Liu stared at the secretary closely.
"Base Commander, I've already inquired about this in detail... According to the survivors, the incident happened suddenly that night, and it was too dark, so they didn't get a clear look. After escaping, we secretly investigated the next day and discovered that the enemy's forces weren't numerous. Probably only around a thousand, all wearing red and white uniforms... But they command over a million mutant beasts, from tall and powerful mutant giraffes to mutant elephants, lions and tigers, and even stray cats and dogs. Each of these mutant animals strictly obeyed the enemy's orders."
"We don't even know what methods those people used. It's said that any mutant animal that came into contact with them would obey their commands. Even those mutant animals that already had masters would turn and attack them. It was precisely because of this that the base fell that night and the base's communication tower was destroyed. The entire process was incredibly fast!"
"If these survivors hadn't escaped so quickly, and if the two sides hadn't been so far apart during the investigation, I'm afraid these survivors wouldn't have been able to reach our survival base now." The secretary pushed the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, his eyes revealing a deep fear of this group of people.
“…”
Captain Liu Ji's silent voice was like a huge rock in the dark abyss, dull and heavy.
The mutant animals are inherently stronger than humans, and coupled with the betrayal of the mutant animals around the survivors of the base, it is difficult for Mingchang Base to avoid falling.
"Did these survivors tell us what happened to the other survivors after the Mingchang base was breached? Mingchang base has a population of over 30 million. Even if those guys carried out a brutal massacre, there should still be many survivors who escaped."
"It is true that some survivors escaped, but it is said that the gate of Mingchang Base was surrounded by the enemy with mutant beasts, and a large number of survivors were left inside the Mingchang Base. They are not clear about the specific situation now..." The secretary explained to Base Director Liu.
These people had taken the opportunity to come here directly on the mutant birds, so naturally they were not very clear about what happened afterwards. Now that the Mingchang base has fallen, if they want to find out the situation inside the base, they have to send people to investigate again.
Base Commander Liu said solemnly, "Instruct the garrison to prepare in advance for the arrival of the survivors and refugees from Mingchang Base."
Although we don’t know the exact number of survivors who have escaped, nor do we know whether these survivors will follow the route to the Longquan Survival Base, it is still necessary to make preparations in advance.
"If the other party can prove that they are a survivor of the Mingchang base, then no settlement fees will be charged."
This is also the last thing their Longquan Survival Base can do.
"Also, send someone to notify the other six survival bases. These people breached Mingchang Survival Base so easily, and they might soon attack the other survival bases." Base Commander Liu thought for a moment and said, "Starting today, the bases must increase their defenses and carefully screen the survivors entering the city. I'm worried that those guys in the red and white uniforms will take off their uniforms and pretend to be ordinary survivors to sneak into the survival bases. If that happens, the mutant animals in our survival bases will rebel, which will be very troublesome."
"Base Commander... should we find someone to notify the private survival base in the neighboring Xingyue City? I remember that from Mingchang Survival Base to Longquan Survival Base, it seems that we need to pass through Xingyue City." The secretary was about to go out with a notebook, but just as he was about to close the door, he remembered this.
Over the past six months, several groups of people have come and gone in the Animal City Survival Base, completing missions in exchange for a lot of survival supplies, and even a lot of technical knowledge that benefits the country and the people. Base Director Liu is also aware of this. After all, an ordinary shelter with two or three hundred people cannot exchange so many survival supplies.
However, the emperor is far away, and the survivors who came out of the Animal City Survival Base, after seeing the strength of the Longquan Survival Base, were worried that the official base would be unhappy because the private base was developing too fast and would be unwilling to exchange too many supplies for them. Therefore, from beginning to end, they had no intention of publicizing the situation in the base. In addition, in the later period, Huang Haichao and others expanded outward with a large number of mutant beasts and searched for a large number of industrial equipment. Many supplies no longer needed the help of the Longquan Survival Base.
Therefore, Director Liu, his secretary and others only regarded the newly built Zootopia Survival Base as a slightly larger private shelter.
"I remember that this Xingyue City private survival base was established not long ago. I estimate that the total population of the entire base does not exceed 100,000 people..." Base Captain Liu touched his chin and frowned.
A population of 100,000 is not a large number, but it is not too small either.
"Let's put it this way... The situation at Mingchang Base is the top priority right now. We can't just ignore the 32 million survivors. But the survivors at Zootopia Survival Base are also human. A base as large as Mingchang Base could be destroyed in an instant. A small private survival base like this would be destroyed in a matter of minutes."
"Since the Animal City Survival Base is in Xingyue City, right between our base and Mingchang Base, have someone organize the soldiers in the base who have avian mutant beasts. Have them form a 20-man team, bring communication equipment, and head to Mingchang Base for a high-altitude exploration. When they pass by, notify the Animal City Survival Base and the scattered survivor shelters in the surrounding area."
The base commander's order was the highest instruction for the entire base. The secretary pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose and nodded immediately. He sent people to organize an exploration team and send avian mutant beasts to Mingchang base as quickly as possible. He also sent people to immediately contact the other six survival bases to let everyone be vigilant and prepare for war.
This organization suddenly appeared with mutant beasts and came with great force, obviously with ill intentions.
Once they spend a month or two to organize the Mingchang survival base, the other party will definitely launch an attack on other survival bases!
…
It’s a pity that the people in Longquan Survival Base had no idea that this group of people who suddenly appeared with millions of mutant animals had no intention of resting after attacking Mingchang Base, nor did they plan to clean up Mingchang Survival Base again. They just rested for a while and then headed directly towards Longquan Survival Base with their army of mutant beasts!
Every shelter they saw was breached by them, and every powerful mutant beast they encountered became their slave.
By the time they walked all the way from Mingchang Base to Xingyue City, the original army of one million mutant beasts had become a black mass, and their number had at least doubled or tripled!
"Boss! Isn't this Xingyue City? How come there is a city wall here? I remember this shouldn't be the location of the official survival base." A yellow-haired young man wearing a red and white uniform, holding a long sword in his hand and a handgun hanging on his waist, sat on the top of the giraffe's head, smoking a cigarette and looking at the huge new city wall in front of him.
The city wall is as high as forty or fifty meters, which is obviously a must-have product for a survival base in this era.
When they attacked Mingchang Base, the walls outside Mingchang Base were also like this.
"No matter whether it is an official survival base or not, just rush over." The man called the boss was a young man with black hair in his 20s. His face was slightly pale, with a pair of thick dark circles under his eyes, and his body looked quite thin and gaunt.
If it weren't for the fact that all the people and mutant beasts around him obeyed his orders, the young man might have looked more like the otaku who never left the house and only played games before the virus broke out.
"The boss is right! With our current strength, no matter where we are, we can just crash into it. No survival base can resist unless they use nuclear weapons and ignore the survivors of their own base. But if we only kill the top leaders and the military, these people will basically not be so crazy as to use nuclear weapons. Besides, we have magic medicine. Even if our hands and feet are broken and our bodies are split, as long as we have a head and a breath left, they can grow back instantly, even if those people really use nuclear weapons. As long as our bodies are not blown to pieces, why should we be afraid of them!" The yellow-haired young man spat, his expression arrogant.
"Before, we were worried about the capabilities of the official survival base. We carefully sent people to lie in wait for half a month. But we didn't expect it to be breached overnight. It was a waste of the boss's time! Now our number of humans and mutant beasts has tripled. To deal with this small base that didn't even have a name before, we just have to attack it directly!"
"Damn it! Before the virus broke out, I heard the average house price in this damn place was over 70,000, and the better, more luxurious villas were worth hundreds of millions. I couldn't even get a glimpse of them. But now there's such a huge abandoned city. Even if it was placed in front of me, I wouldn't even raise my eyes!"
The yellow-haired man spat fiercely twice again, pulled out the intercom from his arms, and shouted directly to the other team members: "The boss said, we will directly attack the city today! Charge forward! Charge!"
The black-haired young man rubbed his still sleepy eyes and squinted sleepily.
The two girls last night were pretty good, with big breasts, thin waists, and perky butts. They were twin sisters. After entering Xingyue City, he would have to have some fun with them. By the way, he would upload the live video of the sisters to Xingwang so that others could have a good time.
A man like him, a child of destiny with an interstellar live broadcast system, was destined to be at the pinnacle of this world. Only someone like him, a man he had never met before, would be so excited to attack a small city without an official base.
He watched as his subordinates, leading the charge, used dozens of rocket launchers unearthed from the Mingchang base to breach the stone walls, sending them crashing down with a resounding roar. He watched as the leaders, each one over twenty meters tall, used their tusks and trunks to smash through the already cracked walls.
The black-haired young man yawned boredly: "Ah~"
I should think about what to broadcast later. Previously, he broadcasted flirting, sex, attacking a city, recruiting followers, and taming mutant beasts...
There were quite a lot of tips for taming minions and mutants early on, but ever since the beast-taming perfumes from the StarCraft audience, taming mutants has lost much of their interest. Instead, yesterday's blood-pumping sisters sparked another wave of tips, as if the last wave was the execution of the Mingchang base's high-ranking officials and military personnel.
"Ah~ Then how about a 'Blood Flower and Fat Lamb Set Meal' plus a 'One Man and Three Women Fast, Live, and Fight' tonight?"
"Tsk! If it weren't for the fact that women these days basically don't take care of themselves, it would be hard to pick out a few good-looking ones, plus we have to keep the audience hooked. Otherwise, it would be nice to just follow King Zhou's example and indulge in a feast of wine and meat."
Hearing the roar of the siege and the noise of mutant beasts and their subordinates, the dark-haired young man lowered his eyes and subconsciously muttered, the sound so soft that even he could hardly hear it. "If I only have two hours of live broadcast time every day, I would also want to broadcast this siege... After all, any extra money is a little extra. Controlling so many mutant beasts requires a lot of animal taming perfume every day. I've had this system for over a year, and this crappy system can't even upgrade me. It's not even a bit of a show."
"Boom boom!——"
“Boom boom boom!——”
The huge city wall, which was forty or fifty meters high, suddenly collapsed inch by inch, and the sand and stones on the ground shattered and splashed dust.
Xia Runrun was sitting on the back of a mutant golden eagle. When she arrived at the city wall with a telescope in her hand, she saw mutant beasts with dull eyes and red light, which were obviously not in good condition. They kept attacking the city wall and pouring into the base city through the collapsed wall.
The city wall here was repaired a few days ago, so the engineering team was not here. However, several mutant beasts guarding the city wall disappeared in the thick smoke and the roars of mutant beasts. It was unknown whether they were crushed under the city wall when it collapsed, or torn to pieces by the mutant beasts attacking the city.
Xia Runrun's face looked ugly and she gritted her teeth!
If she hadn't been so overconfident before, thinking that any furry creature that entered the survival base would surrender voluntarily upon hearing her announcement on the street, joining the Zootopia survival base and obeying her commands, becoming a friendly citizen, she would have only needed to keep an eye on the mutant snakes and lizards to prevent them from accidentally intruding.
The enemy's siege might be discovered in advance, allowing them to evacuate in time.
Ultimately, it's because there are too few people in the base city. A big city that could originally accommodate 20 million people now has only 4 million residents with the addition of mutant birds and so on. How can it be managed?
"But we can't keep going like this. The largest beasts in the base city right now are bear mutants, but they're only seven or eight meters tall, so they're no match for those mutant elephants."
"These mutant animals attacking the city are obviously controlled by those guys. What should we do now?" Xia Runrun's expression was solemn, and she subconsciously looked at the illustration in her hand.
——Ding Dong!
— The base city walls have been attacked, and 12 residents have died! The base city's overall score has been reduced by 0.49! Host, please quickly protect the safety of the city residents and organize a counterattack to prevent the situation from further deteriorating!
——Ding Dong!
—Residues of a prohibited potion have been detected. Article 34771 of the Interstellar Federation Empire stipulates: Using animal taming potions to subjugate sentient animals is considered a violation of Imperial law! According to Imperial law, the number of sentient animals controlled multiplied by 10 years is the term of imprisonment.
——Ding Dong!
Detected within Base City, a total of 3,917,190 intelligent animals have been controlled. This is a massive number, and the methods used are brutal. Recommended lifelong detention and ban.
[Note: Encountering a prohibited potion increases the host's abilities within the base city by 10 times. It is recommended that the host use their abilities to awaken controlled intelligent animals. The host will receive the gratitude of these suffering enslaved intelligent animals, earning them the title of 'Tears of Gratitude'. The base city's overall rating will increase by 10.]
