Hua Dai looked at the family of six, then looked at the others and asked, "Have you always lived here?"

"Yes." The woman nodded and replied, "We have been living in this basement since the end of the world. It has been almost a year now."

"Have you ever thought about leaving?"

"Why haven't you thought about it?" The woman laughed at herself. "But we are just ordinary people who are powerless. We have to carefully find food. Where can we go if we leave here?"

Hua Dai was speechless for a moment.

Among this group of people, there are indeed not many adults who can go out to find supplies.

It is not easy for more than a dozen people to survive in this basement for nearly a year.

Hua Dai turned her head and exchanged glances with Yu Nan, Yuan Yi and Xi Wen.

Afterwards, she looked at the dozen people in front of her and said, "We are from Base M. Base M is an official base that houses tens of thousands of survivors. If you are willing, you can go back to Base M with us."

A dozen people looked at each other in disbelief, and for a moment some of them couldn't believe their ears.

This was the first time they had a chance to leave in nearly a year.

Get out of this dark basement.

"Really?" The woman looked at Hua Dai excitedly. If she didn't know that she was dirty, she would have wanted to grab Hua Dai's hands.

Hua Dai nodded and said, "Of course it's true! As an official base, one of the responsibilities of M Base is to accommodate survivors. Once you enter the base, as long as you abide by the base's rules, the base will not treat you unfairly."

"Obey, obey! We will definitely abide by the rules of the base!" The woman cried with joy, tears falling from her eyes, "That's great! It's really great! We finally don't have to live here anymore!"

God knows what kind of life they have been living in the past year!

Worrying about food and worrying about being discovered by zombies are not even worth mentioning.

The crowded and dirty living environment alone makes people feel hopeless about life.

If she didn't think about her family and children, she really didn't know how she could have held on.

Now there is finally hope, and they finally have the chance to leave here!

This is God's favor to them, bringing hope to them!

Seeing everyone's excited and happy reactions, Hua Dai couldn't help but curl her lips and said, "But we won't leave right away."

The dozen or so people who were originally happy suddenly felt like they were poured with a bucket of cold water. They all stood there in a daze, looking at her nervously and fearfully, fearing that she would abandon them.

"Don't worry." Hua Dai waved her hand to comfort him, "We promise to take you away. But we will stay in Dongcheng District for a while and will return to the base in a few days."

"We have cleared out the zombies in this neighborhood. In the few days before we return to the base, you can find a house to live in. Then you can wait for us to take you back to the base."

The woman was still worried and kept asking, "Will you really take us away? Will you really not forget us?"

"Of course not." Hua Dai said seriously, "I promise, I will take you to M Base."

The woman was speechless for a moment, but her eyes were red and hot tears fell down like beads from a broken string.

From the basement, there was a dull sound of crying.

The crying gradually became louder, and everyone finally couldn't hold back and burst into tears, hugging the people around them tightly.

God knows what they feel in their hearts.

They thought that they would never see hope again and would spend the rest of their days in this cramped, crowded and dark basement.

But they never expected that one day they would be able to leave here and live a normal life outside.

"Thank you! Thank you!"

The woman's mother-in-law suddenly came forward and knelt down in front of Hua Dai with a plop. Hua Dai was so scared that she quickly reached out to help her.

"Auntie, what are you doing? Get up quickly, you are torturing me!"

Hua Dai held the other person's arms and found that he was surprisingly strong at this moment, so she was unable to help him up.

"You are our lifesavers. If you hadn't appeared, we don't know how long we could have held on." The mother-in-law said with a choked voice, "We have no way to repay you, we can only kowtow to you to thank you!"

As she said this, she supported herself on the ground with her hands and was about to kowtow to Hua Dai.

Not only her, but others also knelt down one after another, even the two tied men fell to their knees with a plop.

For a moment, people were kneeling on the ground in the narrow basement.

At this point, not only Hua Dai was at a loss, but Lu Xinyi and the others also hurriedly moved aside, unable to withstand the kneeling of more than a dozen people.

"Everyone, please stop doing this. Get up!" Hua Dai said anxiously. "We are all survivors. We should help each other. Besides, we are from the official base. If we see you are in trouble, how can we not help you? Please stop doing this. Get up quickly!"

As she said this, she went to help the old lady again.

Yu Nan, Yuan Yi and Xi Wen also hurried forward to help support the other elderly people.

With the help of four people, everyone stood up.

The mother-in-law wiped her tears and kept saying "thank you", as if she didn't know what else to say except these two words.

Hua Dai felt very uncomfortable.

They entered M Base very early and could be said to be the first survivors to enter the base. Because of their considerable strength, they were highly valued by Zhao Li and had a relatively high status in the base.

Therefore, they lived a good life for nearly a year.

Although they also brought many survivors to the base during this year.

But these dozen or so people were the worst survivors they had ever seen.

It is also the most intense way to express gratitude to them.

"Let's find a place to stay outside first." Hua Dai sighed almost inaudibly and led everyone out of the basement.

It was still pitch black outside the basement.

But for the dozen people who have lived in the basement all year round, the darkness is not scary at all, but makes them excited.

"Coming out! We are really coming out!"

"Great! We can walk around outside without worry!"

During this nearly one year, only a few strong adults in the team were responsible for going out to find supplies.

Others, especially the elderly and children, see only the crowded and narrow space in the basement from the moment they open their eyes to the moment they close them every day.

I haven't even felt the fresh air outside.

Now that they have finally walked out of the basement, it’s no wonder they are so excited.

Hua Dai placed them in a house on the third floor.

Lu Xinyi directly used the water in the space villa to fill a full tank for everyone so that everyone could wash up properly.

After leaving everyone with pots for boiling water, solid alcohol, and some food, he went to the house opposite with Hua Dai and others.

The moment the door was closed, Lu Xinyi clearly saw that these dozen people all had red eyes and were secretly wiping away tears.

But their expressions are full of hope and yearning for the future.
