Pei Xiqing pressed the interrupt button.
He stared at the broken device in a daze.
Is this thing broken?
I can’t get through after calling for a long time.
Every doomsday base would have a separate communication network route and command code. She only remembered Ling Lang's and called him several times but there was no response.
Sure enough, when she was about to try again, the device started making an extremely harsh electrical noise.
Tang Yitong covered her ears and leaned over, "Sister, this thing might be really broken and messy, throw it away quickly."
"What a pity." She originally wanted to call Ling Lang to ask about his situation, but she didn't expect that the call couldn't go through at all.
"It's okay. Once I find my teammates, they'll have all the most advanced equipment. You can make as many calls as you want, to whomever you want. My brothers' calls are the kind that people will pick up instantly when they see them!"
"So powerful?"
"Well, we're all in the same team. They're all so nice to me. They often buy me delicious food and make me beautiful dresses."
"It seems like the atmosphere among your team is very good."
"Hehe, of course. It's better than them anyway." Tang Yitong pointed at the group of people still fighting in the back and covered her ears. "It's really noisy! I don't know when they will stop!"
Pei Xiqing smiled.
Things like communication can only be put aside.
It's just difficult to get in touch with them in the wild.
Each device had different instructions. If she applied for communication with one of them, they might think she was some random person and ignore her out of caution.
Especially since she was using the equipment of the S1 team, it was considered lucky that she was not blacklisted by them.
Pei Xiqing patted Tang Yitong's shoulder and said, "After we finish eating, let's go upstairs. I just saw a good spot up there. It's high up and has shelter from the wind and rain. Let's move the tent up there, away from them."
Tang Yitong: "That's exactly what I meant!"
After nightfall, the temperature did drop significantly.
Tang Yitong had already wrapped herself in a quilt and crawled into the tent.
Pei Xiqing sat outside, warming himself by the fire, a coat draped over him, and watched from afar as the protagonists below finally dealt with the zombie horde, and hurriedly cleaned up and treated themselves.
Xiao Yue was also among them.
After not seeing him for a few days, he had recovered, but he still walked like an old man in his eighties or nineties, with a staggering gait.
Pei Xiqing was at a distance and could only vaguely see him being helped to sit down.
The wind blew over and extinguished the last flame in front of her. She averted her sight and went into the tent to rest.
When I woke up in the morning, it was a sunny day.
The weather conditions in the past few days have not been very good, and this kind of weather is like adding insult to injury. It means that the temperature will rise very quickly today, and accompanied by wind and sand, it can directly roast people in the wild.
Pei Xiqing didn't know if it was due to her superpowers or the zombie blood, but she felt okay. However, Tang Yitong had been in a bad state since she got up. Her clothes were already soaked before she even started.
He kept wiping her sweat and fanning her.
Tang Yitong stuffed the tent into her backpack: "Sister, aren't you hot?"
Pei Xiqing leaned against the stone wall and said, "It's not that hot."
"Wow, you're amazing! I already feel like I'm going to be steamed!"
"You should wear something light." Pei Xiqing held out her hand, "Let me help you carry your backpack."
"That's not right! This is terrible. I'll strain my back muscles. You can't even run, so don't try to be brave."
Pei Xiqing wiped the sweat off her face and said, "What should we do? Let me find you an umbrella."
"Umbrella is OK!"
"Then let's go to the city ahead and take a look. Maybe we can find something."
Tang Yitong covered her head with her coat, sweating as she walked. "Sister Qing'er, did you know there's a new base recently?"
"The base? Never heard of it."
"There used to be only five bases. Now that the third base has been destroyed, there are only four left. The sixth base to be built later should immediately replace the third base."
"So fast?" It hadn't been long since the fire and destruction of the third base, maybe a week at most, and yet another base was about to appear so soon.
"As a doomsday person and a doomsday soul, our mission is to continuously build infrastructure, continuously establish bases, continuously earn crystal cores and improve our abilities, striving to awaken a second ability and become dual-ability users. If we stop, we'll find that people of our level or team will surpass us in a matter of minutes. To prevent others from surpassing us, we must constantly strive."
Pei Xiqing smiled: "Then you are working hard. In the end times, there is still internal competition."
“Involution?”
"It's the kind of behavior you just described."
"If that's called involution, then our Second Base is a roll within a roll within a roll."
"Why?"
"Our second base is just one step away from headquarters, and it's completely out of sync with the third base. Our second base is very strong, but it's stuck in the middle, neither moving up nor down. It's in an awkward position, so we're all working hard to get to headquarters."
Pei Xiqing didn't comment on her words.
The volume in the end times probably comes from the power after stability.
She's seen quite a few.
Tang Yitong chatted with her all the way.
Finally we arrived at the city ahead at noon.
Ruins can be seen everywhere in the city, but the pollution level is surprisingly not that bad. There are not many zombie corpses, and there are not so many horrific corpses on the streets and houses. Some places are even considered clean.
Pei Xiqing saw some strange buildings and took pictures with his mobile phone. Tang Yitong was rummaging through the shops that had been robbed one by one.
When I came to find Pei Xiqing, I found that she was holding an umbrella in her hand.
Tang Yitong jumped up in surprise: "Ahhh! I knew you could find the umbrella!"
"I was just lucky." As soon as she came over, she took two steps and found an umbrella in the waste paper box, which was also UV-proof.
"That's great! From now on I'll have an umbrella and won't get sunburned!"
Pei Xiqing curled her lips and handed her the umbrella: "Then you have to hold it well."
"Yeah, yeah! I sure will!"
Pei Xiqing added, "I don't want to rush or have any destination. This place is nice, and I plan to stay here for a while. So, if you have something to do, I suggest you leave first."
