The new city was expanded in a short period of time.
Today, the inner and outer cities together cover a total of 120 square kilometers.
Ever since the wedding dress incident, Qin Yu hadn't sent anything over, and Wen Shuqi and Jiang Hao were bored at the gate of the castle.
The main reason is that Wenshuqi feels idle.
Wen Shuqi squatted at the entrance of the castle and looked at Jiang Hao, who was leaning lazily against the wall. "Brother Hao, why do I feel like we're just wasting our time here?"
People in Xincheng are busy and fulfilled.
But Wen Shuqi never felt fulfilled.
After following Jiang Hao to the Fanxing Base, he has been working with Jiang Hao.
But Jiang Hao is very leisurely all day long, and he only moves when the city lord gives orders.
So Wen Shuqi, who was following Jiang Hao, also joined in the leisurely pace.
Jiang Hao raised his eyelids: "Huh? Isn't this good?"
Wen Shuqi: “…”
What's so good about just living a lazy life?
When Jiang Hao was still a human, he was completely different from when he became a zombie.
When he was a human, Jiang Hao was very power-hungry and utilitarian, but now Jiang Hao is particularly willing to be content with the status quo.
Wen Shuqi sighed, grabbed his hair, and racked his brains to think of what else he could do.
Today's new city has everything you could want, including all kinds of food, clothes, shoes, socks, and even necklaces, jewelry, and watches have reappeared in the new city.
A while ago, a theater opened in the new city. They put on different shows every day: today acrobatics, tomorrow traditional opera, the day after tomorrow skits and dramas...
For those with special abilities, the theater's acrobatic performances were too childish, but there was too little entertainment after the apocalypse, so the theater became extremely popular as soon as it opened.
After much thought, it seems that the new city now has everything you need for eating, drinking, and having fun.
"Hey, Brother Hao, how about we open a chess and card room?"
Jiang Hao nodded: "Okay, but this is gambling, right? Are you sure the boss will let us open it?"
Wen Shuqi: “…”
This... Chess and card rooms don't have to be for gambling, can't they just be for entertainment? Although he thought so, Wen Shuqi was still quite scared of Fan Xin.
He didn't dare to go over and ask Fan Xin if he could open a chess and card room.
"Hey... I just want to start a small business." Wen Shuqi sighed, "Brother Hao, what do you think our new city doesn't have?"
Jiang Hao said lazily, "The playground."
Although there are people setting up stalls throwing traps and nesting dolls in Xincheng Park, there aren't many things to play with. If they build an amusement park, the business will probably be very good.
First of all, there are a lot of children in Xincheng now. Just like before the end of the world, they don’t go to school on Saturdays and Sundays. If there is a playground, parents will definitely be happy to bring their children to play.
Also, nowadays the only dating place for young couples in the new city is the park. Now that there is an amusement park, those young couples will naturally go to the amusement park for a date.
Wen Shuqi's eyes suddenly lit up: "Hey! Right, an amusement park! Why didn't I think of that?! Brother Hao, hurry up, let's go to the bank to get a loan. We have to build this amusement park quickly, before someone else gets there first!!"
The rapid development of the new city means that this place will soon no longer be in danger of doomsday.
Driven by the new city, the surrounding bases are also developing faster and faster.
A year later, all bases were installed with constant temperature facilities and communication channels were established between the bases.
Although only short telegrams could be sent, preliminary information communication was finally established.
During this year, zombies from all over the place basically gathered towards the new city, so that the major bases rarely encounter zombies now, and most of the zombies that can be encountered are from the new city.
The zombies in the new city are very different from the wild zombies and can be recognized at a glance.
The S City Safe Zone has become the Dawn Base.
After learning that the Dawn Base and Xincheng had purchased constant temperature facilities, the Dawn Base immediately sent people to negotiate with Fan Xin and successfully installed a constant temperature system in the base.
At this time, people at the Shuguang Base were experimenting with growing vegetables in greenhouses.
The soil was improved by a potion developed in the laboratory. They planted lettuce seeds, had some of them ripen by the psychics, and let the other part grow naturally.
Soon, the part of lettuce that was ripened by the wood-type ability was grown.
Each head of lettuce is large and juicy, three times larger than the ones before the apocalypse.
The people in the laboratory immediately picked the lettuce and went back to check whether there was any toxin in it.
Mayor Zhou and Shen Changnian were also in the laboratory watching the test results.
The old professor took off his glasses and sighed: "No, this lettuce has mutated and contains a deadly poison."
Everyone was silent for a while.
“Now we can only see what grows naturally.”
A man with a serious expression walked in hurriedly and whispered something to Mayor Zhou.
Mayor Zhou's face changed, and he and Shen Changnian immediately followed the man out.
"Have you contacted other bases?" asked Mayor Zhou.
"We've made contact. Other bases have also received distress messages, but we don't know if there's a problem with the communicator at Rose Base, or if the danger has prevented them from replying. We haven't received a response."
The Rose Base is located in the remote P City, far away from S City, and there is only the Rose Base in P City.
When Mayor Zhou arrived at the meeting room, discussions had already begun in the room.
"What do you think happened to the Rose Base? Most of the zombies have been summoned away by the New City Lord, and the few remaining zombies can't even form a zombie swarm. Logically, they shouldn't pose a threat to the base."
"Could we have encountered a herd of mutant animals?"
This speculation silenced everyone.
After a moment, a heated discussion broke out.
"A swarm of mutant animals? That's impossible. Mutated animals are extremely ferocious. Even a scattered one is difficult to deal with. What if there really is a swarm of mutant animals?"
"After the apocalypse, the animal population has drastically decreased. Only a small number of animals can mutate. They shouldn't attack the base in large numbers..."
"It's hard to say. What if? There are very few mutant animals, but don't forget that mutant animals can reproduce. Mutated animals are so difficult to deal with. These few years are enough for their numbers to increase rapidly."
Mayor Zhou walked in, and everyone stood up: "Mayor."
Even though the safe zone has now officially become the Dawn Base, everyone is still used to calling him Mayor Zhou.
Mayor Zhou nodded and sat in the main seat. "The situation is urgent. There's no need to discuss the specific danger here. No matter what the danger is, rescuing the Rose Base is the top priority."
"yes."
Mayor Zhou's eyes fell on Cheng Qing: "Cheng Qing, take your men to Xincheng immediately and act together with Xincheng."
Cheng Qing stood up: "Yes!"
Many bases speculated that the danger to the Rose Base was an encounter with a group of mutant animals.
A single mutant animal was difficult to deal with, let alone a swarm. Many bases backed off after receiving no response from the Rose Base.
Of course, there were also many bases that, like Mayor Zhou, immediately sent people to the Rose Base or the New City.
Most of the bases close to the new city are rushing towards it.
New city.
Fan Xin put the received telegram aside. In addition to the distress telegram sent from the Rose Base, there were also messages from the Dawn Base and other bases, saying that they were on the way.
Estimated arrival time is one hour at most.
Fan Xin sat in the conference room on the second floor, tapping the table lightly with his index finger.
"First, let's talk about the dangers that the Rose Base might encounter this time."
There were many humans and zombies sitting in the conference room, and they were all very quiet before Fan Xin spoke.
"It's either a mutant plant or a mutant animal."
Now most of the zombies are in the new city, and only the zombies that are too far away from the new city can resist Fan Xin's orders.
But in order to avoid being summoned by Fan Xin, those zombies will naturally not move towards the new city. They will only move away from the new city.
There are not as many aggressive mutated plants as there are mutated animals, so it is rare to encounter them.
Therefore, most of the ones attacking the Rose Base were mutant animals.
Fan Xin nodded. She thought for a moment and said, "Yu Qinglong."
"Here." Yu Qinglong stood up immediately.
Fan Xin looked at Liang Jiao, who was in the corner and almost dozing off: "Liang Jiao."
"Um?"
Liang Jiao shuddered and opened his eyes suddenly. He looked left and right and saw that everyone was staring at him. He quickly stood up and looked at Fan Xin: "Sister, you called me?"
Fan Xin nodded and said, "Yu Qinglong, take Liang Jiao and all the mutant silkworms with you to provide support."
"Ah? I, I'll go." Liang Jiao was stunned. His special ability was hidden and had no killing power at all.
Seeing Liang Jiao like this, Yu Qinglong couldn't help but frown: "Boss, no, City Lord, I think it's better for me and Brother Wang to go together?"
Wang Hong's supernatural powers have improved very rapidly during this period. He can use his mental power to interfere with the mental power of those mutant animals, and Yu Qinglong can find a way to send that group of mutant animals away.
Fan Xin smiled and said to Liang Jiao, "It's not you who's going, it's the mutant silkworm."
Liang Jiao: “…”
Yu Qinglong's supernatural abilities have also improved greatly during this period. After obtaining spiritual fruits from Fan Xin several times, he has now become a ninth-level supernatural person.
An hour later, the psychics sent from the seven bases gathered outside the south gate of the new city.
There are a total of two hundred people in the seven bases, plus Liang Jiao and two hundred silkworms. Even if Yu Qinglong is already at the ninth level, he can't lead them all.
He frowned and said, "There are ten people in one base. The rest should either return to your base or drive to the Rose Base on their own."
Everyone looked at each other, but time waited for no one. Their driving speed was certainly not as fast as Yu Qinglong's speed of crossing space, and seventy people were left behind in the seven bases.
It was three days later when Yu Qinglong and a group of people crossed the space and arrived at the Rose Base.
P City is too far away, and those who are heading to the Rose Base on their own have not arrived yet.
Yu Qinglong and others appeared on a mountain one mile away from the Rose Base.
The man with the ability of farsightedness climbed up the tree on the top of the mountain and looked towards the Rose Base. His face turned pale and he almost fell out of the tree.
Cheng Qing looked up and asked, "What's the situation?"
The farsighted person shivered as he came down from the tree, his forehead covered in sweat, his voice trembling: "Good, a lot, a lot, old, rat!"
No one has encountered a rat in such a long time since the apocalypse, but judging from this man’s reaction, it is clear that this rat is definitely not the same kind of rat as before the apocalypse.
"How many exactly?" Yu Qinglong asked.
The farsighted mutant sat on the ground with weak legs. "I, I don't know. Outside the Rose Base and on the city walls, there are densely packed rats. The number is - incalculable."
