The dark age of mankind is coming

"We can go to Hope Base together." Li Yang suggested, considering that Zhang Hu and others did not have a clear destination.

"Okay." After listening to what Li Yang said about the Hope Base, Zhang Hu and others discussed it and finally decided to follow them.

Their hearts were full of expectations and hopes for this strange place.

Maybe, it will really become their new home, allowing them to find the meaning of life again.

"That's great! We can travel together and take care of each other." Li Yang said with a smile.

When Zhang Hu and others saw strangers in distress on the road, they offered to help without hesitation and without expecting anything in return. This quality is rare and they are definitely friends worth making.

In this difficult world, it is a blessing to meet such a partner.

Zhang Hu, Li Yang and his team found a remote house that looked relatively sturdy from the outside, intending to rest there for a while.

They entered the house, ate some simple dry food, and drank a few sips of water to replenish their energy.

After a short rest, they set out again for the Hope Base.

Li Yang and his team sat on snowplows and trucks and slowly moved towards the Hope Base.

Although the wind was biting cold and snowflakes were flying all over the sky, their hearts were full of anticipation.

The snowplow cleared the way ahead, pushing away the thick snow and creating a path for the trucks behind.

Trucks followed closely behind, loaded with their supplies and equipment.

After a long drive, they finally saw the outline of Hope Base in the distance in the evening.

"There's still electricity there." Someone exclaimed in surprise as he looked ahead.

The lights of the Hope Base flickered in the darkness like a bright lamp, bringing them warmth and hope.

They couldn't wait to speed up and drive towards the base.

As the distance got closer, they could clearly see the high walls and gates of the base.

The base was brightly lit and bustling with activity, as if the end of the world had not yet arrived.

Just as they were about to approach the entrance, a strong light suddenly lit up, illuminating their figures clearly.

"Stop! Who is it?" the guard shouted and blew the alarm.

Li Yang and others felt nervous, but they did not retreat. After stopping the car, Li Yang and Zhang Hu got out of the car on behalf of everyone and continued to move forward.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" the guard asked the two people outside the base.

Li Yang took a deep breath and replied calmly: "We are the survivors of Xijiao Village, and we came here to seek shelter."

He took out his pre-apocalyptic ID card and handed it to the other party, "This is our ID, please take a look."

The guard was surprised. It was the end of the world, and yet someone escaped without forgetting to bring his ID.

He took it and examined it carefully.

"A few days ago, your search team visited our village." Li Yang added during the inspection by the guards on duty.

Hearing this, the guard nodded to show that he understood. Although he was from the defense team, no one in the base knew that the search team was looking for survivors.

After a careful inspection and confirmation, the guard handed the identity certificate back to Li Yang and said, "Please wait a moment, I need to report to my superiors." After that, he turned and walked into the base.

A few minutes later, Zhang Ren came out with several members of the search team and the on-duty personnel.

Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw several people he knew coming out.

After seeing the appearance of the base and now seeing these people, Li Yang was sure that what they had told them about the base before should not be false.

As soon as he saw Li Yang, Zhang Ren walked up and patted Li Yang on the shoulder, "Why are you here at this time?"

The Zhang people were deeply impressed by Li Yang and the situation in their village, especially Li Yang, who was a very responsible and courageous person.

Their village is not big, and there are only two psychics, in addition to Li Yang, a fire-type psychic, there is also a water-type psychic.

It is well known that water-based abilities do not have much attack power at low levels. It can be said that the main force of defense of their village depends on Li Yang. Even so, he did not leave, only because he grew up eating food from hundreds of families in the village.

Of course, although the number of villagers in their village is small, they are very united.

When An Ning and others went to invite them to the base, many people in the village were reluctant to leave their homes. They also had some surplus food and could grow some crops to be self-sufficient, so An Ning and others did not force them to join.

However, what was unexpected was that they would come to us so quickly, especially in such a snowy weather.

Li Yang said helplessly, "Our village was attacked by a pack of mutant snow wolves. Although we dealt with some of them, there were too many of them. We couldn't resist them and had to retreat. Considering our future safety, we decided to move to the Hope Base."

Zhang Ren nodded, "I see. Did you have a smooth journey?"

"Well, it was relatively smooth. We were attacked by a group of zombies on the way, but luckily we were safe. Thanks to Brother Zhang and the others, we were able to arrive here safely." Li Yang replied, and then introduced the situation of Zhang Hu and others to Zhang Ren in detail.

"That's good. You've worked hard on the way, so take a good rest first! I'll have someone prepare some food and shelter for you so that you can recover your strength as soon as possible. I'll take you to meet Captain An later." Zhang Ren said with a smile, and signaled the guard next to him to open the gate and welcome them into the base.

As the heavy metal door was completely opened, the entire scene inside the base was presented to Li Yang and Zhang Hu.

This is a place full of vitality and hope. The clean and orderly roads, bustling crowds and various buildings and facilities all give people a special sense of security.

Li Yang and his group followed Zhang Ren into the base.

The people in the base showed great curiosity about the newcomers and gathered around to stare at them.

Zhang Ren led them through the crowd and came to a spacious empty villa.

"You guys rest here first, I will send someone to bring food and water. If you need anything else, feel free to tell me." Zhang Ren said gently.

Before long, several staff members brought in abundant food and water.

Li Yang and his friends had just eaten something simple in the morning. They were already starving and couldn't wait to start feasting.

Looking at them wolfing down the food, Zhang Ren couldn't help but smile, knowing that they must have experienced a lot of difficulties in the past few days.

After dinner, Zhang Ren took Li Yang and others to see An Ning.

An Ning is the captain of their Hope Team and also the base commander of this base. An Ning's consent must be obtained to accept the survivors.

An Ning carefully asked Li Yang about the situation of the village and the survivors.

Li Yang answered each question one by one, focusing on describing in detail the experience of being attacked by the mutant snow wolves and the villagers' decision, and emphasizing the bravery and help of Zhang Hu and others.

Hearing that Li Yang actually mentioned them, Zhang Hu and others looked at him with gratitude.

Seeing An Ning looking at them, Zhang Hu and his companions took the initiative to tell An Ning everything about their experiences without waiting for An Ning to ask.

After seeing the situation inside the base, Zhang Hu and his companions decided to stay here, so they did not hide anything.

"Welcome to join the Hope Base!" An Ning expressed her welcome and encouraged Li Yang, Zhang Hu and others to live peacefully in the base.
