End of the World Cycle

At noon the next day, the group arrived at their destination. Seeing more than thirty Cang Guanci in the valley, they led their men down directly.

But after going down, everyone opened their eyes wide when they saw the wide-open warehouse door and the empty warehouse.

"Boss... Boss. Gone. Not a grain of rice left."

Guan Ci just felt unbelievable. He went out of the first warehouse door and looked at several others in a row, all of which were empty. Zhou Lei also came back and shook his head at Guan Ci.

"It's all gone."

Guan Ci felt sweat starting to form on his back. So much food, all gone. Although this place was no secret, they were the only survivor base in the entire East China Province. It would be time-consuming and laborious for people from other bases to come here. Moreover, there was not even a trace left here, as if this batch of food had never existed.

Xie Qin stood nearby, not daring to breathe, even though she knew that she would not be suspected.

The return trip was quick, and when Xie Qin was about to reach the base gate, he saw a group of ten buses heading towards the Anyang base. The person sitting in the front passenger seat was Guo Dongkang.

The road was quite wide. Guan Ci was feeling irritated and drove much faster. When the SUV passed the leading car, Xie Qin also saw Zhou Lili.

Xie Qin was a little puzzled, why did both of them come. When they arrived at the gate of the base, there were already hundreds of people waiting at the gate. What was strange was that the head of Anyang Base, Guan Ci's brother Guan Qi, was also there.

Miao Zhe stood beside Guan Qi and they were talking about something. Guan Ci saw his brother, stopped the car beside him and got out, and Xie Qin also got out, eager to know what was going on.

Guan Qi saw Guan Ci stop talking with Miao Zhe and walked towards them.

"Xiao Ci, how is everything going?"

"Someone got there first." Guan Ci shook his head.

"What? It's only been a few days, how come..."

Even though he didn't want to accept the fact, Guan Qi didn't say much, but his eyes fell on Miao Zhe and the convoy coming from a distance.

He had heard about Wuliang Base on the radio many times. When Miao Zhe came to him and asked for cooperation, he did not hesitate too much. After all, sharing resources and labor in the apocalypse was a win-win situation.

His own base was already saturated, and if there was no diversion, riots would happen sooner or later. When the base commander of Wuliang Base called and asked for people, he agreed vaguely and just waited for the people to arrive before discussing the details.

But after Guan Ci brought back the news that the granary was gone, Guan Qi had to focus his attention on the people in the Wuliang base.

Xie Qin was standing nearby, and from Guan Qi's look, he probably understood that he was somewhat suspicious of the people in his base. After all, it was hard not to be suspicious of such a coincidence.

But in the end times, these are all ownerless things. Whoever gets them first will own them. After my own observation, the strength of Anyang Base is not weak, especially in the early stage when the base has not yet been integrated. It is indeed the best choice for an ally.

So when Guo Dongkang got off the car, Xie Qin seized the opportunity, passed the people in front of her and ran towards Guo Dongkang, calling out sweetly:

"father!"

Everyone present was stunned by the word "Dad". Even Guo Dongkang, who had just got off the car, looked at Xie Qin running towards him with a confused look on his face.

Xie Qin winked at Guo Dongkang and looked at the car. The next moment, Guo Dongkang pulled Xie Qin's arm and got on the bus with a serious face.

On the bus, Guo Dongkang seemed to be scolding Xie Qin with a serious face, but in fact, the two of them had already coordinated the matters of the past few days.

Zhou Lili, who was standing by, smiled and was very satisfied with Xie Qin, who was a little thoughtful. Compared with the previous Xie Qin, who looked cold but was actually a simple and innocent person, she was much better.

"So you mean to just admit it?"

"Yes, but I can't admit it. You just said that I ran away because I was having fun, and you led people to load the food."

"I see. Is this Anyang base suitable for an alliance?"

"At present, it seems so. Their food production line is very well made. There is also a complete research institute in the base with more than a dozen researchers. As long as they ask, we will use food to exchange for people."

"understood."

When the two got off the car again, Guo Dongkang looked a little better. Meeting Guan Qi's scrutinizing eyes, he started talking about Xie Qin.

"Thank you so much, Commander Guan. My daughter was naughty and got separated from us after we went out. I heard that she was taken care of by you. It's really troublesome."

"Is this your daughter?" Guan Qi knew this little girl named Guo Qinling. She was a third-order space-ability user who was brought here specifically to transport food. But now she has become the daughter of his number one suspect.

There were too many coincidences, and he was certain that they were the ones who took the food.

"Yes, after he came out, he acted willful and quarreled with me and ran away. I was so anxious that I searched for him all the way. But it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. I found a big granary."

"Granary? The granary in Qingyang City?"

"That's right. We found our daughter by accident. I feel relieved now. Thank you so much for taking care of her. I heard that she joined the logistics team at your base. She is young and naive. I am sorry for causing you trouble. I will apologize to you later and I will take her back."

"What are you talking about, Captain Guo? People here are free to come and go. Miss Guo can leave at any time if she wants."

"That's good, that's good. Why don't you say sorry to your brothers?"

"I'm sorry..." Xie Qin lowered his head and said sorry pitifully.

Now it was Guan Ci's turn to not understand, but they finally understood why this little girl was raised to be so innocent and fair in the apocalypse where people are eaten without leaving any bones. It turned out that she had a powerful father.

Zhou Lili stayed at the gate of the base, watched the information registered by Miao Zhe and began to classify it, and took the people who were going to their base back in batches.

Xie Qin followed Guo Dongkang into the Anyang base and was taken to the conference room. Guan Ci also stayed, and after a while, the other two deputy base commanders also came.

One is the head of the Feng family who is in charge of construction, Guan Qi’s brother-in-law Feng Yu, and the other is Guan Qi’s father Guan Qinian.

Guan Qi was in his thirties and had not officially taken over the family business before the end of the world. In addition, his business did not overlap with that of Guo Dongkang, so he did not know Guo Dongkang.

But Guan Qinian was different. He had met Guo Dongkang at several national chambers of commerce, so he was stunned when he saw Guo Dongkang sitting next to the conference room.

"Mr. Guo?"

"you are?"

"Hello, I'm Guan Qinian, the vice president of the East China Chamber of Commerce. I met you at the National Business Summit before. You were a representative of state-owned enterprises at that time. I was deeply impressed by you when you spoke."

"Hello, Mr. Guan." Guo Dongkang stood up very formally and shook hands with Guan Qinian.

"Dad, do you know him?"

"I don't know him, but I know Mr. Guo. This is Mr. Guo Dongkang. Coincidentally, Mr. Guo's company has the same name as our city, Anyang Group."

"It turns out to be Mr. Guo from Anyang Group!" Guan Qi suddenly realized that Anyang Group is a large group backed by the country, and this Guo Dongkang is the grandson of the commander of the Eastern Military Region.

You know, even though it is the end of the world, the commander of the Eastern Military Region also occupies one of the four state-owned bases. But how could such a person build a base on his own? Is Wuliang Base also an official base?

While Guan Qi was still thinking, Guan Qinian noticed Xie Qin.

"Why are you here?"

"Oh. I forgot to introduce this to General Guan. This is my daughter, Guo Qinling. She was naughty and came to your base by herself. Did she cause you any trouble?"

Guan Qinian, the daughter of Guo Dongkang, suddenly looked uglier. When she thought about what she had asked Guo Qinling to do, she secretly said in her heart that it was not good. She looked at Guan Qi, who shook his head imperceptibly. Guan Qinian suddenly felt unwell.

You know, he had planned before that if Guo Qinling didn't bring the food back obediently, he could kill her and get the supplies. But now with this relationship, it is obvious that Guo Qinling cannot be touched.

It's just 300,000 tons of food. No one can swallow this.

Guan Qi seemed to have seen through his father's thoughts and spoke.

"Mr. Guo and his team were lucky. They found the granary in Qingyang City on the way here and took all the food away."

"Ah? Really? I'm really lucky."

"Yes, Dad. I was there with Brother Guan Ci and the others, but you took it away first. That's despicable." Xie Qin's voice was soft and tender. Even though she spoke harshly, one could not hear her anger. Instead, it sounded like she was just acting coquettishly.

After hearing this, Guan Qinian finally understood that it had nothing to do with Xie Qin.

Xie Qin played the role of a child who knew nothing and sat beside them. He listened to their conversation, which was nothing more than the population of Anyang Base was saturated and Wuliang Base was short of labor. They needed to do diversion.

But how to divide it, how much to divide it, and what method to use were not elaborated. It was not that the people at the Anyang base were unwilling to talk about it, but Guo Dongkang was unwilling to talk about it.

After he slowed down his speech, he started talking about other things. Xie Qin knew he was waiting for Zhou Lili. Although Guo Dongkang had leadership skills and was decisive in killing people, when faced with such a situation, Zhou Lili was still needed to maximize the interests of the base.

Guan Qinian seemed to have heard the hidden meaning behind Guo Dongkang's words, but he was not in a hurry anyway, so he just followed Guo Dongkang's words and talked about other things.

"I didn't know that Mr. Guo's daughter is already this big."

"I was young and ignorant. When I got pregnant with Qinqin, I was too young to announce it." Guo Dongkang was not afraid to say it out loud. After all, this was the reason why he created the identity for Xie Qin.

"How wonderful! The child is so big at such a young age, and he is so outstanding. I wonder what kind of superpower you have, Mr. Guo?" No one present could tell what the superpowers of Guo Dongkang and Xie Qin were. Xie Qin said that it was the third-order space system. But Guo Dongkang just couldn't tell what it was.

But no matter what superpower it is, it is stronger than theirs. Although the three fathers and sons of the Guan family all have rare superpowers, they are all third-level, and Feng Yu is just an ordinary third-level water-based superpower user.

"As for me, I'm in the Metal Department, level four." Guo Dongkang said casually.

The other four people were all stunned. You know, as far as they knew, there was no fourth-level mutant in the entire Xia country. You know, there is a huge gap between the third level and the fourth level. Even if you eat crystal cores every day until you vomit, you won't make much progress.

But now, there is actually a fourth-level mutant in front of them.

"I wonder what Mr. Guo eats? His superpowers are improving so fast." Guan Qinian couldn't help but ask.

Guo Dongkang just smiled and didn't mean to speak, and Zhou Lili came. Zhou Lili greeted everyone very politely, and then sat down next to Xie Qin.

He held a document in his hand and handed it to everyone in the Anyang base. He also gave a copy to Guo Dongkang.

She wrote this plan on the way here and didn't have time to show it to Xie Qin and Guo Dongkang. However, after learning about the general situation of the Anyang base from Miao Zhe, she made some changes to the details.

This transaction plan is completely beneficial to their base.

"Do you have any superpower supplements?" After Guan Qi finished reading the plan, his attention was drawn to the superpower supplements. You know, in the Anyang base, the most precious thing is the crystal core, and food can only be ranked second. So after discovering the third-level space system, even Guan Ci, who had everything, would not hesitate to cut off the crystal cores for Duan Ping.

"You have also seen that our base commander, or our Qinqin, is the best proof."

Xie Qin didn't have any superpower supplements at the base, only the first-level capsules that were put on the shelves of the system supermarket every day. Although he had a method for extracting crystal cores, it was also a method for extracting superpower crystal cores. Now the base is not well-equipped and has insufficient manpower. So it has not been implemented yet.

She didn't know where Zhou Lili's supernatural power supplement came from. She looked at Zhou Lili and got a smile from him. She immediately knew what was going on.

There are two things Zhou Lili never does: one is something she is not sure of, and the other is something that would put her at a disadvantage, so Xie Qin was relieved and no longer cared about their plans.

Then he watched Zhou Lili take out a small tube of reagent from her bag. Xie Qin had never seen this thing before, and it was not convenient to ask with so many people present.

"Consider this as a gift to Commander Guan. You can try our supernatural supplement yourself."

Guan Qi hesitated holding the reagent in his hand. The water looked clear, but he was still a little worried about taking something unknown. However, Guan Ci on the side didn't care.

He took the reagent from his brother, uncorked it and poured it into his mouth. After a few seconds, he clearly felt the changes in his body. His superpowers became more abundant, and his body felt like it was on fire. After a few seconds, his superpowers seemed to have grown a little bit.

"Mr. Guan should be able to feel the changes in his body, right?" Zhou Lili asked kindly with a smile.

Guan Ci nodded to his elder brother.

“Although this thing cannot be said to be extremely powerful, it is several levels better than the official crystal core. Just this little bit is equivalent to at least twenty first-level corpse crystals. The cost-effectiveness is immediately apparent when comparing the two.” Zhou Lili spoke gently, but everyone was stunned.

Then, in a place where no one else could see, he winked at Xie Qin imperceptibly.

Just by looking at this one expression, Xie Qin knew that this group of people must have been plotted against by Zhou Lili.
