Chapter 103

After the apocalypse, Huaguo had eight bases in total, excluding the flooded bases. They were the Xin Province Base in the northwest, the Jing City Base in the northeast, the Miao Province Base in the southwest, the Qing City Base in the southeast, the Ning City Base in the east, the D City Base in the central-east, the An City Base in the central-north, and the Jian City Base in the center.

Now the Qing City base has been destroyed, and the Xinsheng base has fled to the Butterfly Garden of the D City base, leaving only the six major bases.

Jian City, where Building No. 7 is located, is located in the middle of the six major bases. It is 900 kilometers away from the farthest base, Jing City, which is almost half the distance from City C to Jing City. It is much more convenient to make a temporary decision on which base to go to.

What's more, there is a Jianshi base in Jianshi.

However, at the beginning of the year, Fu Erdie led Building No. 7 to sweep everywhere and had almost wiped out all the zombies in the area from Jian City to City C. Now the only pressure left for Jian City was the zombie group in the east.

The wind and snow were too strong, and Fu Erdie's speed of moving around was limited. He didn't want to face the situation of having to fight monsters alone while the safety of everyone at the rear was at risk, so he could only ask those psychics to go out and gather information.

Among those who went to other bases to check the situation were He Xuan, who had a lucky buff, and her old partner, the wind-type psychic Ye Jia. As a core member and old employee of the Butterfly Garden, Fu Erdie trusted them very much, and gave the wind-type crystal cores collected along the way to Ye Jia, upgrading her to level 5. She gave the crystal core with metaphysical attribute bonus to He Xuan, upgrading him to level 4.

This is equivalent to an advance salary, and Fu Erdie promised to help the two of them upgrade later.

Traveling with them were the lightning-type psychic Tan Haoge from the Qing City base, the purification-type psychic Xin Nuo, and other more trustworthy psychics with strong self-protection abilities.

It is difficult to go out, but the water source is taken care of by a water-based mutant, food and treatment are taken care of by two intelligent mutant plants, and in addition to the map, there is also Yin Xuan who comes from the university town of City C and has a superb ability to remember roads and identify terrain.

These teams of people are well-equipped and have different abilities that work well together. They take almost every aspect into consideration to reduce the danger and difficulty of travel.

If they really encounter danger, the fourth-level dandelion they carry with them can blow them away in the wind and run away.

The target area of ​​this team of psychics is the Ning City Base and Jing City Base in the east and northeast. In addition to them, there is another team of psychics going to the Miao Province Base in the southeast.

They have clear goals. They will pretend to be ordinary psychics seeking shelter in the wind and snow, approach the base, or even enter the base to gather intelligence. Once they obtain useful information, they will find an opportunity to assemble a telegraph with a battery and send the information back to the butterfly garden.

During this period, Fu Erdie would focus on Jian City, and take Building No. 7 out to attack the zombie groups whenever the wind and snow were a little lighter, or use the scent of gardenias to spread the human scent in the wind, attracting the zombies to gather and then attack, constantly growing stronger and eliminating as many zombies as possible.

By the end of October, there were no zombies within a hundred kilometers around Jian City.

At the end of November, the temperature dropped to minus fifty-five degrees Celsius. The technical department of City D and the Butterfly Garden finally developed a small, portable supernatural generator that could be used by Building No. 7, as well as supernatural teams or R&D teams that needed to go out.

Fu Erdie immediately went back home to visit his family and took out the new generator.

Fu Erdie was not surprised. After all, the infrastructure of Jianshi Base was very poor, and they were struggling to resist the cold. It was unknown how long the temperature would drop in the future.

Without further anti-cold work, let alone the normal operation of the base, he didn't even know whether he could survive until the next day in such cold weather.

After all, many people with special abilities in the base could not bear it and died unconscious in the cold night.

Fu Erdie was not surprised by their choice. He had already investigated the situation of the Jian City base through X-ray and detection instruments. There was nothing unusual. It was just an ordinary base taken over by supernatural beings after the end of the world.

However, this base is different from the bases in City D and the New Province. There are no ordinary people in them.

As a base that originally protected a group of people in the hands of the army, Fu Erdie was not sure what kind of resettlement or even disposal measures they took for those ordinary people. If they were killed directly through various means like the Qingshi base, Fu Erdie would not care.

If it is like many places, simply driving away ordinary people... Fu Erdie needs to look at their supernatural space and make a decision based on that.

So Fu Erdie made a request.

Luo Can, the boss of Jian City Base, frowned in confusion when he received the reply from the messenger.

"Allowing her to use her powers on everyone in the base and screen them...what does this mean?"

There are so many people and so many supplies in Jian City Base. Whoever you go to will be happy for a long time. This butterfly garden director is so picky. What is the selection for? And...

"Isn't her ability dual-type, Plant and Home? How do I select it?"

In the conference room, several subordinates fell silent at the same time.

In fact, they have discussed the butterfly garden director's special abilities many times, but each time they have not come to any particularly effective conclusion.

The director of the butterfly garden advertises that the city is a plant and home-based city, but whose special abilities can be separated out and kept at home, while they venture out on their own?

Moreover, some of the superpowers who escaped from the Qing City base in the south, as well as some who have been traveling in C City and D City all year round, have mentioned many times when passing by Jian City looking for supplies that the Butterfly Gardener can fly, use the wind, etc.

Although her man is a metal-type psychic who can fly, she can force him to be the reason for the butterfly garden director to fly, but what about using the wind?

Could it be a three-element supernatural being? They always felt that the supernatural power of this butterfly garden director was not that simple.

Now, Director Butterfly Garden even proposed to use supernatural powers on the people in their Jian City base. What should they do? Let her kill their own people?

Luo Can couldn't understand it, so he asked the messenger to make another trip to find out what was going on.

Two days later, the messenger brought a new reply.

Luo Can looked at the letter, a little dazed.

"High-level psychics can actually evolve new abilities?"

In the letter, Fu Erdie did not directly state his level, but only said that after he was upgraded to a certain level, he could feel the good and evil of the psychic, as well as the extent of the evil he had done in the past based on the superpowers released by the psychic.

It has to be said that this made Luo Can's heart beat fast.

Even though Fu Erdie said that if the water is too clear, there will be no fish, and killing for survival is within the normal range, she would not make excessive demands. As long as the person is not bad at heart and may affect the butterfly garden, she will not deal with him.

But no matter what, all the standards are in the hands of the butterfly garden director, she is the standard itself.

She had the final say on what was considered a normal judgment and what was considered an overly harsh judgment. Luo Can and his team had no autonomy at all.

How could this be agreed to?

Thus, Jian Shi's plan to flee to the country came to nothing.

Fu Erdie didn't care. As long as they didn't cause trouble for her, these people could do whatever they wanted.

In a blink of an eye, two and a half years have passed since the end of the world, and it is now the end of the third year.

After Fu Erdie took Building No. 7 and cleaned up the 200-kilometer area within Jian City, he came to An City to celebrate the New Year.

The Anshi base took the initiative to say hello to Building No. 7, exchanged information, and even sent some Anshi specialties as New Year's gifts to show its goodwill.

Fu Erdie accepted it with a smile and returned the gift - zucchini with healing effects. Then they set up camp in An City and cleared out the zombies around.

As time passed, the more zombies Fu Erdie cleared, the more he could clearly feel the proportion of zombies with special powers among them increased.

According to feedback from the D City base and the Butterfly Garden, the number of ordinary people inexplicably turning into zombies or becoming people with special powers without any scratches has also increased.

There were signs of this kind of change before, so the plant cubs have been paying close attention. Once they find someone in the crowd turning into a zombie, they will react immediately, tie up the person, and then strangle and absorb the person after he or she turns into a zombie.

In fact, there is a process for people to turn into zombies. At the beginning, the brain is eroded, and all memories and consciousness, even the soul that many people are willing to believe in now, die with the apoptosis of neuronal cells, which is medically called brain death.

After that, the person's body will show some characteristics of zombie-likeness, such as the pupils becoming chaotic and gradually turning dark, corpse spots beginning to appear on the body, and then the person will lose control of the zombie instincts of killing and eating people, attacking the people around them, etc.

In the past, when a person was brain dead, the plant cubs would rush up and kill the guy who was transforming into a zombie. But after experiencing the injustice of some ordinary people in D City who didn't know the reason, the plants in D City no longer cared about the things in the base.

It was the newly born intelligent mutant plants that were begged by the people at the base to go back and help when they were still young, and then the new plants took control of the situation inside the D city base. At the beginning, those wronged plant cubs didn't bother to care about you.

These plants also had a communication network before, and they also tacitly agreed on one thing through word of mouth - that is, not to kill zombies in the wrong way. Let these humans with poor brains see clearly that their relatives or companions around them have indeed turned into zombies, and then they kill them.

Plants don’t understand human emotions, nor do they know why people cry when someone dies.

Like them, they actually have countless so-called brothers and sisters since birth. Some of the brothers and sisters are not smart and have no mutations, so they are eaten by these humans when they are born.

Many of the remaining mutant brothers and sisters were also very stupid. They could not communicate or think. They just stood there stupidly. When there was more water, they did not know how to go to the less water area. When they were thirsty, they did not know how to actively find water sources. When they were hungry, they did not know how to hunt. When they were cold, they did not know how to find shelter.

In short, if no one takes care of them, these mutated but unintelligent brothers and sisters will die at the critical point where they cannot adapt to the environment.

The rest are their jumping cubs! So even though their numbers are increasing now, many of their brothers and sisters have died (or even been eaten by humans)!

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But they don't feel anything. Why are these humans crying?

But if their director died... No, the director will not die~ So there is no sadness in this world! Fu Erdie doesn't know what these new plant babies that she has never seen think. If she knew, she would probably look at the fruits and vegetables she eats every day and say a few words, "Sorry, I'm going to eat you"...

She, Sang Wenhao, Cen Xiyang, Han Zhi, as well as green ivy and succulents celebrated the New Year in Building No. 7 in Anshi.

A small supernatural power generator is placed outside the city to receive wind energy from outside at any time and use it as wind-based supernatural power to generate electricity and maintain the warmth of a room.

Fu Erdie and a few others spent the midnight of December 31 eating vegetable hotpot and a batch of mutton raised in the butterfly garden.

A new year has passed, and it is already the fourth year of the apocalypse.

The temperature of this New Year's Eve

, stabilized at minus sixty degrees.

All that could be seen with the naked eye outside were ice and snow and dilapidated buildings. There was no sign of any living activity. Even the zombies should have had their joints frozen and unable to move, so there was no trace.

The whole world fell further into silence.

When the D City base was communicating with several other major bases, everyone suggested that they needed the new special-energy generator developed by D City and Butterfly Garden.

After several rounds of discussions, both sides sent people to Jianshi and Anshi, two cities located in the middle, to carry out several handovers.

The transaction went smoothly, and City D and the Butterfly Garden obtained a lot of special materials needed for research, as well as some fuel and minerals needed for the operation of the base.

By the way, both sides also learned some information through various probing.

Except for the Jingshi base, there are no ordinary people in other bases.

The Beijing base now has the most complete infrastructure, but it is also the place with the largest number of ordinary people and the most difficult times.

Their heating method is very primitive - everyone is crammed into one room, with no regard for comfort, just crowding, and everyone wants to stay away from the walls or the outside and squeeze into the middle. It stinks, there are a lot of disputes, and a lot of flu and skin infections.

But they don't care, they just want to stay alive.

After the Beijing base contacted the D city base, they did not want a supernatural generator, because they had invented similar equipment. What they wanted was crops that could feed millions of people.

When Fu Erdie first heard that there were millions of survivors in the Jing City base, she was shocked!

She had never heard of so many ordinary people since the apocalypse!

It was extremely difficult for the D City base to support only 30,000 people, and it almost couldn't hold on, but Beijing City actually accommodated three million ordinary people!

I have to say, this is a miracle.

City D did not believe everything City Jing said, so when doing the transaction, it also sent two fourth-level psychics to follow City Jing's team to watch, and during the second transaction in January, they brought back accurate information.

There are really three million survivors, and they are all ordinary people.

Now Fu Erdie really admires him.

She asked the Butterfly Garden to provide a large number of mutant crops that actually had no time to be planted. They were urgently cultivated and sent to the Jing City Base. At the same time, after seeking the opinions of some plant cubs, she discussed with the Jing City Base and sent a lot of intelligent plants over.

These plants can help the Jing City base relieve the pressure of dealing with the zombification of ordinary people, and can control the zombified ordinary people as soon as possible.

After the Beijing City Base learned about the situation of the D City Base and the Butterfly Garden, it also sent people from the technical team to exchange and learn.

During this communication, Fu Erdie discovered a new problem.

It was a supernatural power riot that existed a long time ago, but was suppressed and ignored by Fu Erdie's supernatural power.

Everyone with superpowers has their own energy space, and after many people use their superpowers, their energy spaces will riot.

Just like when he first came into contact with Sang Wenhao, his energy space was filled with metal thorns flying everywhere, rushing around, making the supernatural power unstable and unconsciously hurting the supernatural power user himself.

At the same time, the superpowers have a high demand for food, and they have an urgent need for various nutrients, especially vegetables, fruits, protein, and meat. For some people with low superpower levels, or those with high superpower levels but serious elemental deficiencies, if you throw a food they lack, they may even become as bestial as zombies in an instant, letting the desire for food control their entire actions.

However, Fu Erdie's supernatural power can comfort close friends, and the repair effect of the house can also help those with supernatural powers in the community stabilize their supernatural powers.

Even the psychics in the D City base can maintain a relatively normal state after eating a lot of fruits from intelligent plants.

However, people in other bases were not so lucky.

When they were injured, they would use crystal cores to ask healing psychics for help. When the psychic space was disrupted, they would desperately look for different plant psychics and buy different foods.

If it really doesn't work, just stop using your supernatural powers and force yourself to endure it.

But there are so many people with superpowers, and the apocalypse will last so long, there will come a day when they can no longer endure it.

A supernatural person from the technical department who came from Beijing to the Butterfly Garden for exchange and study, suddenly started bleeding from all seven orifices and passed out due to his supernatural powers going violent when he was near the Butterfly Garden.
