End of the World Cycle

At noon the next day, the base station was built. Xie Qin personally led people to install the nuclear bomb. Everyone retreated to the temporary base. The official infrastructure team had also arrived, with more than 300 people. They planned to build a safety wall as soon as possible after the nuclear bomb exploded to protect the area for research.

After the robot input the password, people five kilometers away could also hear the loud noise clearly. A huge mushroom cloud rose visibly into the sky, and then the gas from the biological nuclear bomb spread throughout the entire area and stopped about ten meters away from the temporary base.

All plants and soil that came into contact with the gas turned black, instantly losing their vitality, and then withered and fell to the ground. Instantly, a large number of mutant animals and some zombies appeared within the field of vision, leaving no place to hide.

Xie Qin's people were the fastest and began hunting. The official army also joined the battle and killed some mutant animals that did not have time to escape.

The area was only five kilometers, and although there were not many of them, they were all strong men above level five, and they cleaned up extremely quickly. In just three hours, the five kilometers cleared by the nuclear bomb were all cleaned up.

It was a wasteland, with only some high terrain visible. The infrastructure team quickly started work, building a safety wall, and the research institute collected soil and began research at the temporary base. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

After the experiment, Xie Qin confirmed the safety of the operation, and with the help of Xiang Si Xing, he obtained the construction data of the cryptographic robot. Xie Qin then planned to take his men back.

At least we should clear out the areas around our base where mutant plants are most rampant. Somehow, I felt uneasy before I even went back, but seeing the people I care about around me, I felt more at ease.

It would take at least another month for the authorities to confirm the data on soil changes. Xie Qin knew the result, so she was not worried. She had a lot of things to do in this month.

Clear out the mutated animals and plants around the base and get rid of Du Ming. If possible, she wants to find Lu Chaoyun, but if she really can't find him, she thinks she can kill one if she sees one.

As far as she knew, Du Mingxuan was only a fifth-level psychic now. To be honest, even if the First Base used all its strength to fight against her, it would not pose much of a threat to her.

This person is nothing to be afraid of, not to mention that his every move has been monitored by the authorities. Although he is not a threat to me, I can't swallow this when I think about how I was used as a mother container by this person in my previous life and was put on the laboratory table for research like an animal.

So she had to take advantage of this month when she was still free to deal with the people. As for what to do with the survivors of the First Base, she believed that the authorities would be able to manage it.

After all, the security and level of development of the First Base are no less than any official base. The Doomsday Castle that Du Mingxuan built at great expense more than ten years in advance is definitely attractive.

Some people from their own research institute stayed in the temporary base to help, and a five-man elite team was left to protect them. The rest of the people all followed the convoy back to the base.

The journey back was much smoother after all. Although we encountered many mutated animals and plants that blocked the way, it didn't take much time to deal with them, and we arrived on the morning of the third day.

It was raining all the time on the road, especially in the outskirts where many survivors should have lived. It was unusually quiet at the moment. These people did not join their base, but lived in the outskirts of the base protection area. This was also the only way for them to return to the base.

It was quite busy a few days ago, and even some small trading spots had appeared. But at this moment, there was no one here, it was extremely quiet, and it felt bad no matter how you looked at it.

The group got off the car to check. They found that all the signs of life were there, except for the food. All the clothes and quilts were still there, but there was no one to be seen.

"Boss, they're all gone, not a single one." People who had gone to other places to check came back to Xie Qin one after another, and all they brought back were the results of no one.

Xie Qin did not answer, but stood there, his mental power covering his entire base. As he had expected, all the people outside the gate of his base were gone, including Xu Nuo and his group who were temporarily staying next to the gate of the base. They were all gone.

[Xiaobao, what's going on with the base? ]

[Master~ The fort has been tested and there is no abnormality. The residents of the base are all normal. The people outside also left on their own. Since they are not residents of the base, they are not within the monitoring range of the fort. After the test, they should have left yesterday afternoon.]

[Where is Xu Nuo? Is Xu Nuo still there? ]

[Yes~Xu Nuo is a resident of our Wuliang base. He is currently helping Doctor Lan treat patients in the hospital.]

"Let's go back to the base first." Xie Qin spoke, without saying anything else, just asking everyone to get in the car and go back first.

The convoy was moving much faster and arrived at the base gate in about ten minutes.

Everything was normal at the base gate, with normal security guards on duty. After entering the gate, everything was the same as when he left, without any changes. He glanced at the temporary residence of the zombie virus immune people nearby, which was empty. Xie Qin frowned. These were all Xu Nuo's people. The people were gone, but Xu Nuo was still there. Xu Nuo should know something.

Xie Qin's car stopped directly in front of the hospital, and the security guard came up as soon as the car door opened.

"Boss."

"Where is Xu Nuo?" Xie Qin asked as he walked in. Guo Dongkang and Zhou Lili followed closely behind.

"Wound treatment room on the third floor."

"Is there anything unusual about our weapons?"

"No, everything is fine. What happened? Boss?"

"Take a small team and follow the clues outside to find out where the missing people outside have gone."

"Missing? Who is missing outside?" The security guard looked at Xie Qin in disbelief. Xie Qin was also stunned. He didn't know. They didn't know.

"Uncle Guo, you should lead the team yourself. Take two... no, take fifty people. Choose the ones with strong abilities." Xie Qin stood there and calmed down for a moment, and instantly locked onto one person in his mind: Xie Jin.

"Teacher Zhou, come with me to the prison." Xie Qin turned around and didn't plan to look for Xu Nuo. According to the current situation, Xu Nuo probably didn't even know that the person outside was missing.

Five minutes later, the car stopped at the prison. All the people in the prison had been deprived of their resident status, so although they were inside the base, they were not within the detection range of the small fort. Unexpectedly, there was no one inside.

Xie Qin felt his hair stand on end and cold sweat began to appear on his palms. It was too horrible. Xie Jin could actually control everyone in the entire base, and the influence on their thoughts lasted for a terrifyingly long time. Up to now, there were nearly 20,000 people in the entire base, and no one had noticed anything wrong.

After checking the surveillance footage, Xie Qin saw Guan Feng pushing a stroller with Xie Jin sitting inside. Next to them was a female zombie in a white dress, who was Guan Feng's wife. Behind them was a large group of people, walking and talking.

There were more than a hundred criminals in the prison, and they just left the base in such a swagger. During the whole process, the people passing by seemed to be unable to see them, and each of them was doing their own thing. Until Xie Jin led the people out of the base gate and disappeared from the surveillance range, no one noticed anything wrong.

Xie Qinzhi felt his legs going weak. Before he reached level seven in his ability, even he hadn't noticed anything was wrong with Xie Jin. Suddenly, some images that he had ignored appeared in his mind: the place where his soul last dissipated in his previous life, and the place where the last human was discovered extinct by zombies.

On the highest peak of that place, there stood a man. It was Xie Jin, whose appearance had not changed after he became an adult. . . .

Xie Qin just felt that she had difficulty breathing and couldn't tell what she felt. She had a bold guess that perhaps Xie Jin was the king who was pushing the zombies to occupy the world.

His legs went weak and he couldn't stand steadily, so Xie Qin knelt on one knee on the ground.

"Qinqin!" Zhou Lili was close and grabbed Xie Qin, but Xie Qin's body was heavy and she still knelt heavily on the ground.

"No, it's okay. You don't need to go in. Go to the meeting room and call all the management. Ask Uncle Guo to bring his people back as well. Don't chase them."

"what happened?"

"It's too dangerous, let them all come back. You go and notify them, I'll wait for you in the meeting room." Xie Qin pushed Zhou Lili so that she didn't need to support herself.

"Are you okay? Do you want me to take you to Dr. Lan first?"

"No, just go, quickly!"

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll go right away." Zhou Lili rarely saw Xie Qin so nervous, and knew that something must have happened. Without delaying for a moment, she drove to the main station to notify people.
