The Miller base was different from its simple appearance. At least the defense facilities inside were very grand. After the two drove past the guard, they were stopped by another door before they drove five meters.
The guard had probably finished reporting to his superiors, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie came over with a smile on his face.
"What's your name?"
Shen Heyang lost his patience and rolled down the car window, "Xu Yang."
"Hmm..." Xu Nuo didn't know what he was doing, but he could tell that he was lying, so he made some noise in a low voice.
"Your lover...?"
"He's not in good health and can't speak," Shen Heyang frowned and moved sideways to block his sight.
The middle-aged man looked very much like a capitalist from before the apocalypse, with a greasy face and a beer belly, and a particularly flattering smile. Shen Heyang hated this kind of person the most. The guards just now looked pale and thin, but this man was probably a member of the management team, and he seemed to be living a very comfortable life.
"Okay, okay," the fat man took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat. The superpowered person before him was very oppressive. It was obvious that they were fighting in the apocalypse. He was instinctively a little afraid, but he nodded and stopped them. "Your car... can't go in. The base will drive everyone to the parking lot."
Shen Heyang was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He stretched out his index finger and thumb, made a gun-holding gesture, and pressed them against the fat man's eyebrows.
He did not use his thunder-related abilities, but instead used his mental abilities, which was rare. Invisible branches of mental power flowed from the man's fingertips into the fat man's head. The fat man in front of him was standing fine just now, but now he felt as if his head was torn apart, and fell to the ground in pain.
It really felt like being shot.
The man who had been so cold and stern just now gathered his strength and turned his head to look at his boyfriend in the passenger seat. He was still entertaining himself by feeding himself water, with most of his face still tucked into his coat.
"Baby, you are so good," Shen Heyang pinched his fingers, which were thin and soft, with a little callus from holding a pen.
Seeing the fat man fall down, the person who had been observing in the dark almost figured out the strength of the person.
Soon, several more men in suits and leather shoes came over. The man in the middle, who was surrounded by people and was wearing a gray suit, stepped over the fat man who was wailing on the ground without a care and walked forward.
"Mr. Xu, welcome to Miller Base!"
Shen Heyang glanced at the closed door in front of him and sneered, the mockery in his eyes was self-evident.
The grey suit made him look shifty, and the grey made him look more like a rat from the sewer. At the moment, he was a little annoyed by Shen Heyang's attitude, but he still pretended to smile amiably.
"My subordinate just didn't know what was going on. Where is he? Open the door quickly."
The tightly closed door was quickly and slowly opened. This time, no one tried to stop their car. Shen Heyang stepped on the accelerator and drove into the city, leaving the man in the gray suit standing there with exhaust fumes spraying all over his face.
The inside of the Miller base looks much more desolate. The base covers a large area and is roughly circular in shape, but the layout is strange, with small circles inside the big circle.
After passing the two lines of defense, they finally arrived at the real interior of Miller Base, which was only the outermost layer of the interior. This circle was not large in area. It was clearly outside the big circle, but it was not far away from the next wall.
Survivors were coming and going around the car, each with a numb and empty look on their face, wearing tattered clothes, and doing their work in a daze. Some were dragging a huge bag of garbage, and some were reclaiming wasteland.
The man in the gray suit came up to them at some point and got into a fancy jeep. He rolled down the window and still had that hypocritical smile on his face.
"This is the home of ordinary people, Mr. Xu, please follow me."
Shen Heyang frowned, but didn't say anything. This Miller Base seemed to be even dirtier than it looked.
The car followed the jeep in front of it, passing three more walls before stopping. The scenery outside the car window became better the further inward they went. When they reached the innermost circle where they were parking, they saw not only a spacious area but also many single-family villas surrounded by flowers.
Shen Heyang got out of the car, wrapped Xu Nuo's coat around him again, and finally chose to leave him in the car.
"Formally introduce myself, Mr. Xu. I am the founder of this place, Miller."
“Xu Yang,” Shen Heyang said in a light tone, deliberately ignoring Miller’s outstretched hand.
Miller's expression froze for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Mr. Xu is quite unique... But after all, this is the end of the world, and the strong should behave like this."
Shen Heyang didn't respond, but threw out a question, "What do you need me to do here?"
This topic seemed to suit Miller's taste very well, and his smile became even brighter. "Mr. Xu is very smart. There is no free lunch. You can go out and fight zombies or complete missions assigned by the base to earn currency. The base has its own circulating currency. With money, of course you can live. Despite the current situation, the base is actually still well-stocked with supplies."
The way he winked was really disgusting. Shen Heyang pinched his eyebrows, and suddenly there was a loud noise from the building behind him.
Several people looked over there. Miller's expression was sinister, but he quickly dropped his disguise. "That's the laboratory building. Our technicians are researching the antidote inside."
"Antidote?"
"Yes, a vaccine that makes people immune to the virus and an antidote serum that turns zombies back into humans."
Shen Heyang's expression moved slightly, but he was not sure how much of what he said was true and how much was false.
The passenger door was banged open, and Xu Nuo, wearing a long coat on his head, jumped out and looked straight in the direction of the laboratory building.
Miller was stunned for a moment, then walked over quickly, "This is your wife, right? Over there..."
He got stuck before he could finish his words. The reason was simple: the boy's small face, shrouded in the shadow of his large coat, was too stunning. Even without any expression, he looked alluring and charming.
Electricity began to crackle at Shen Heyang's fingertips again, and he walked over and took Xu Nuo in his arms, "Mr. Miller, do you have any objections to my lover?"
The stunned man finally came back to his senses, smiled awkwardly and waved his hands, "Mr. Xu, you're joking. You and your wife are a perfect match."
He said this without any sincerity, his eyes almost glued to the boy. He had thought that this Xu was a gentleman just now, but it seemed that he was just a sex-hungry ghost. The little boy probably depended on him for survival.
"Take Mr. and Mrs. Xu to their residence," Miller waved his hand, and someone quickly came up from behind.
"Sir, this way."
Shen Heyang took Xu Nuo in his arms and got into the car without even glancing at Miller. The disgust in his eyes was undisguised. This base was extremely filthy on the surface, and who knew how rotten it would be behind the scenes.
