End of the World Cycle
Chapter 26: First visit to the 1st Base.
Xie Qin and his family left the South China base two days in advance. There was no specific time for the natural disasters in the next three months. Xie Qin only knew that the world would be drastically changed in three months.
The seawater will turn green, and a large number of marine creatures will begin to have the ability to live on land and come ashore. The global temperature will be fixed at around 20 degrees. Plants will mutate and grow wildly, and all animals will change their appearance. Some will become larger, and some will grow some strange things, but you can still roughly see what it looked like before the end of the world.
Only humans, except for a small number of people with special abilities who have evolved, are still like ordinary people. However, after these people have eaten edible mutant meat, their physical fitness will be improved and their functions in all aspects will be enhanced. This also provides a small layer of protection for human survival in this world.
On the way to the first base, Zhou Lili also learned how to drive a truck. Xie Qin found two large trucks and repaired them so that they could be used. The group stopped and walked along the way and collected a lot of supplies. They took everything they could use.
When they were almost at the base, Zhang Mingfang drove the RV in the front. Except for a small area reserved for the children to play, the rest was filled with supplies.
The truck driven by Xie Qin was filled with food of all kinds, which was definitely enough to open a small convenience store. The truck driven by Zhou Lili was filled with daily necessities, from large household appliances to small pots and pans.
After all, they were planning to live here for a long time. Before they built their own base, this should be their only place to stay, just because this place was the only place where no disaster happened until the end of the whole book.
It is also the best place to develop besides the base built by the male and female protagonists. It is also located on a wide grassland in the northwest.
One kilometer away from the destination, Xie Qin saw someone. There were patrols everywhere, and everyone was fully armed with a gun. The shoulder straps of the uniform camouflage uniforms had the golden embroidery of the First Base. There was also a badge that belonged to the First Base. Xie Qin took a closer look and found that they were exactly the same, and it seemed that they were made by a machine.
The condition of the guns was also very new, some looked like improved AK47s, but they were definitely not. Xie Qin observed very carefully, and each person's gun had a number on it. Behind the number was the emblem of the First Base.
It seems that this base has its own weapons manufacturing site. No wonder the first base was built in such a short time.
There was a long queue at the base gate, and there were long queues at all the dozen entrances. On the other side were five manual windows, all filled with people walking in to register.
Xie Qin and her friends also met people on the way. Almost everyone showed surprise and envy when they saw their RV. Not to mention the two large trucks following behind. But when they arrived at the base, Xie Qin saw what a rich person was.
There was a family with eight heavy-duty trucks worth tens of millions of yuan. There was also a trailer with three bedrooms and one living room. The supplies were all transported in the same B-brand heavy-duty trucks, with more than ten trucks full of supplies.
There are many RVs like Xie Qin's, so when they arrived at this place, it seemed ordinary for Xie Qin's family to be buried in the convoy.
Soon after the car stopped, someone came to hand out flyers. I took one and saw that it was a city entry manual. It introduced the first base in detail.
To enter the base, you must hold a citizen ID card from before the end of the world, or a valid certificate that can prove your previous identity. If you don't have either, you can't enter. The original idea of using a fake identity to enter the institute is definitely not possible now. I can only find another way to get rid of Lu Chaoyun.
There are three ways to enter the base. The first is to be a superpower, who can enter the city for free, with food and lodging provided, but they need to sign a contract and abide by the base convention and obey the base's orders. Otherwise, they will be arrested by the Ministry of Public Security and put in jail, or even worse, they will be sent directly to the research institute.
The second type is to pay grain. The amount of grain paid is different for different ages. Those aged 16-40 pay kilograms of grain each. Other age groups pay kilograms. People who enter in this way are equivalent to free people. After entering, they need to find their own food, accommodation and work, but they can get corresponding points for work.
The third type is to enter the city directly without paying food based on their identity. After entering, the base will arrange unified accommodation and work for these people. There are no points for work, unless they are technical talents, the treatment will be better, and the rest will basically become free labor for the base.
The second page is an introduction to the base. The base brings together some survivors from all over the country and even from neighboring countries. The current total population is about 150 million. The base is as large as a city before the apocalypse. Almost all the factories that existed before the apocalypse can be found in the base. So the base basically lives a life before the apocalypse. It has its own order.
After waiting in line for nearly two hours, it was finally their turn. A special person led them to the parking lot behind the base gate. The parking lot was about the size of four football fields. The lady who took them to do the formalities said that there was a parking lot of this kind every two kilometers in the base. At that time, they could choose any place to park, but they would have to pay for it.
Xie Qin walked in front, while Liu Bo pushed Xie Ran. Xie Jin fell asleep in Zhang Mingfang's arms. Zhou Lili followed with her son in her arms. Even the young lady who brought them couldn't help but look at them a few more times. Except for Liu Bo, the whole car was filled with women and children. It was hard to believe that they were still living so well in this end times.
"Everyone here has to take a test for superpowers. Do you know this?"
"Yeah." Xie Qin nodded. After a while, they followed to the manual registration counter. After giving instructions to the person leading them, they left to lead the way for the next group of people.
When we got here, we had to queue up again. In front of us was a three-story building. It was very large and semicircular. The first floor was the lobby, which was full of people waiting to register.
There were ten windows in total, and there was a display screen next to the small archway of each window. Xie Qin watched as these people put their ID cards in the designated locations, and the detailed personal information of the person would immediately appear on the display screen.
Xie Qin couldn't help but frown. It seemed that sometimes the writing was not detailed enough. For example, the first base. The outer wall of the base was seven meters high and one meter thick. It tightly surrounded the entire base. The protective net above the base was all made of extremely tough steel wire. It covered the entire base.
After entering, Xie Qin also discovered that all the buildings here were less than three stories high. All the houses were cast in cement, obviously for earthquake resistance. The walls and roofs were coated with thick anti-corrosion glue. The cost of these things was not something that ordinary people could afford even before the end of the world.
Moreover, Xie Qin also noticed that not only the walls, but also the buildings inside, were depreciated to a degree that was definitely not built in the past year. For such a large city, electricity, water, transportation, and various places of life were all taken into consideration. Conservatively speaking, it would take at least five years to build this place.
The base's database contains everyone's identity information. Even such a hidden official information base can get it. It seems that this Du Yuexuan is not a simple person.
Xie Qin lowered her head and whispered a few words into Xie Ran's ear. Then the brother and sister closed their eyes, and their mental power quickly spread from where they were to the city.
It took the two siblings fifteen minutes to scan the entire base. The result was that this place was too big. It was a square rectangle. It stretched nearly fifteen kilometers from front to back and left to right. There was even an inland river dug in the city. This amount of work would probably take more than five years, let alone ten years.
Xie Qin once again lamented the gap between her, an ordinary person, and these world-class leaders. The book introduces the head of the First Base.
Du Yuexuan, the head of the First Base, is 35 years old. He is the first fourth-level superpowered person to appear in this book, and the first person to successfully transplant artificial superpowers and possess the dual superpowers of lightning and fire.
This base was built by Du Yuexuan on his own. He claimed to be just a doomsday enthusiast. But from what Xie Qin saw, he was definitely more than just a doomsday enthusiast. Or maybe he was like himself, and his life was restarted.
Because Du Yuexuan needed the heroine's healing ability to save his paralyzed mother, he basically had no unpleasantness except for the matter of conducting live research on people with special abilities. He even developed a liking for the beautiful and capable heroine in the early stages and provided her with many conveniences in the First Base. However, because of the large age gap between him and the heroine, he kept this liking in his heart and never showed it.
Even after the heroine blew up his base laboratory and killed Lu Chaoyun, he still gave her a chance to survive when he was chasing her. At the end of the story, the two bases were one in the west and one in the east, coexisting peacefully.
Combining her own memories and the information detected by her mental power, she integrated the information of the first base. She still planned to find a way to get close to Lu Chaoyun first. After all, only the superpowers in the research institute were the most comprehensive, and they were basically superpowers who committed crimes in the end times. Such people would have less psychological burden when taking drugs.
For the convenience of registration, the whole family went to the same window. Half an hour later, the family lined up at window number six. There was something similar to an airport security gate before entering the window. As soon as you stepped on it, the small screen next to it would show your height, weight, and bone age, and below it would show whether you had superpowers. If you did, it would show what level of superpower you were, and there was even a progress bar showing how much energy you were missing from the next level.
Xie Qin really admired this Lu Chaoyun. What kind of talent was he? He was simply a great contributor to the history of human evolution. But when Xie Qin thought that in two years, this man would be killed in the laboratory, he felt it was a pity. It would be better to rescue him and take him away. Hide him in the base he built.
Zhou Lili and Zhang Mingfang were in front with their children. Xie Qin was not worried about Xie Jin. As long as no one came over to open the swaddling clothes and look at Xie Jin's eyes, no one would be able to discover Xie Jin's identity. After all, Xie Jin was a newborn and had no identity information. The only thing that could be measured was bone age and weight.
Xie Qin was curious about how far his brother and Uncle Liu Bo were from reaching the fourth level. Liu Bo pushed his brother in front of Xie Qin and followed the staff's instructions to push Xie Ran under the door frame.
Ten seconds later, a white light circle appeared around the original display screen and a beeping sound was heard.
Name: Xie Ran
Born on 2014-10-25, 10 years old
Bone age: 6 years old
Height: 126cm
Weight: XNUM X kg
Ability: Psychic
Level: Level 3
Progress: 12%
The information was too detailed. It would be a lie to say that I didn't feel bad when I saw the column about my brother's bone age being 6 years old. Although the family members did rehabilitation for my brother every day, the atrophy and degeneration of his lower limbs could not be stopped. At this moment, she really wanted to cure her brother and make him like a normal person. Maybe in the future there would be a skill that she hoped to absorb to be able to heal. Or she could think of some way to get Ning Cheng, the original heroine of this book, to help her.
After discovering the attributes and level of Xie Ran's supernatural powers, a staff member immediately came up. He was wearing the uniform of the First Base Security Corps and nodded to Xie Qin and the others with a kind smile.
"Little brother, according to the regulations, people with special abilities have special rights. Do you need to know more about them?"
Xie Ran looked at Xie Qin and did not answer the man's question. Xie Qin took two steps forward and answered.
"Wait a minute, we still have two people who haven't finished registering."
"Okay." The man was quite perceptive. Seeing that the three adults didn't say anything or show any reaction, even the psychic himself didn't say much, but the pretty little girl in front of him answered. He knew that the little girl must have the final say in this family. Maybe she was a more powerful person than the little boy.
Then Liu Bo stood up.
Name: Liu Bo
Born on 1987-12-3, 36 years old
Bone age: 26
Height: 184cm
Power: Strength-based power user
Level: Level 3
Progress: 6%
The eyes of the man standing next to them became brighter and brighter. There were two third-level psychics, and one was a rare psychic. If they could join their psychic team, the strength of the base would increase significantly.
When it was Xie Qin's turn, it was obvious that the man was extremely excited.
Ten seconds passed slowly. A strange light flashed around the screen, as if there was garbled text, and then it disappeared in an instant. Finally, the entire screen was garbled, turned black and white, and flashed a series of incomprehensible codes.
"Huh? Is it broken? Why don't you try somewhere else?" the man said, frowning as he looked at the screen in front of him.
Xie Qin nodded and went to a machine next to him. The same situation occurred.
"What's going on? How could there be a problem?" The man stared at the screen in confusion. You know, these devices have never broken down since they were produced.
Professor Lu said that this thing would not have any problems in normal use for about five years. But today two of them broke down at once, and the man was a little puzzled.
"Brother, there's no need to take the test. I've already handed in my ID card. My personal information has also passed. And I don't have any special powers. My brother is not in good health and I don't want to waste time. Can you finish the formalities early and go back to rest?" Xie Qin certainly knew the status of the two third-level special powers in the base, and it was harmless for them to be a little willful and conceited.
"You don't have any special powers? Okay," the man said okay, but his eyes could not hide the disappointment.
The man walked in front and personally took Xie Qin's family to the real estate center.
