End of the World Cycle

The next morning, after seeing the list and a box of ID cards sent by Tang Yuzhe, Xie Qin was not surprised. After all, these people had not witnessed the true horror of the end of the world.

Surprisingly, Tang Yuzhe and his wife did not plan to leave either.

"You're not leaving?" Xie Qin was a little confused.

"Actually, my wife is pregnant. We are both in our early thirties. We have worked so hard for ten years and dared not have children. We finally saved enough money to buy the house we wanted and we don't want to run around anymore."

"Have you ever thought that perhaps a place with more people is more suitable for your child's future life?"

"Who can predict the future? Just like before the rainstorm we always thought that this disaster would pass, no one knows what will happen tomorrow. Besides, the official base may not be as good as here."

"Why do you feel that way?"

"The environment in a temporary base cannot be good. In a high temperature environment, there is simply no way there is enough space and electricity for people to cool down, not to mention food."

"How come you are the only one who has figured out such an obvious question?"

"You can figure this out with a little bit of thinking. It's just that those who left thought that this would all be over soon, and they would come back, and everything would go back to the way it was before. The contract they signed with you has no legal effect. They can only think that they survived during this period of time because of you."

"That's a good idea." Xie Qin smiled and continued to look through the list of people who stayed. Tang Yuzhe heard other meanings from Xie Qin's words.

"Boss, do you mean that we can never go back to the way things were before?"

Xie Qin raised his eyes and glanced at the young man in front of him for three seconds before answering.

"Who knows? Since you've stayed, just work hard for me. I won't treat my own people unfairly."

The two did not talk anymore. Xie Qin turned around and found three more people left. One of them was Guo Dongkang, the grandson of the commander of the Eastern Military Region. The other two were Pan Zhenjun, one of the few rare superpowers, a thunder superpower. There was another named Xia Xing who registered in the same room as Pan Zhenjun, both on the 85th floor. The friend who was filled in the relationship column was a person without superpowers, and was an advertising planner before the end of the world.

Apart from his group, there were only these five left. Although there were two rare superpowers, their loyalty was not high. Tang Yuzhe and his wife had a loyalty of 73, but the other three were all 60. The fewer people there were, the more important the loyalty of these three people became, but there was no way to get rid of them directly. He could only think of ways to improve it later.

[Master, after these people leave, the experience points will be deducted~]

[Deduct!!! What do you mean, what about the mission rewards? Will they be deducted as well? 】

[Quest rewards will not be increased or decreased. The joining and leaving of population will increase or decrease corresponding experience points.]

Xie Qin roughly calculated that 430 people left, 120 of whom were superpowers, and five of them had rare superpowers, which meant only 600 experience points, which was not a big deal. From this perspective, the experience points gained by population ratio were not much, but the natural experience gain from residents' loyalty every day was the biggest part.

Xie Ran's ability has reached the third level. All the capsules that Xie Ran used were the best that could be obtained in the system. There is a huge gap between the third level and the fourth level, and it is impossible to upgrade in a short time. However, with Liang Pengfei, who is very skilled and a second-level power user, he is not worried about the safety of the base.

Xie Qin wanted to personally lead this group of people to the nearest resettlement site. After making the decision, Xie Qin went to the 86th floor to find Guo Dongkang.

"The base commander is here to visit?"

"You will come with me to see these people off tomorrow morning."

"Oh? Captain Xie, did you only choose me?"

"Yes."

"Let me guess. Don't trust me? Then what will the base commander do if I say I don't want to go?"

"You can try." Xie Qin raised her eyes and met Guo Dongkang's eyes. Instantly, a pressure in her skull attacked her nerves. Guo Dongkang couldn't breathe instantly. His body began to become heavy and difficult to support. The perspective of looking down at Xie Qin slowly became lower. Guo Dongkang couldn't help but kneel on one knee and looked up.

As Xie Qin smiled and blinked, a look of contempt appeared in her eyes.

"I don't know why you're staying here, but since you're here, the only thing you can do is to be obedient. Of course, as an original resident of the Wuliang Base, you'll slowly learn what privileges you have." After saying that, he handed a level 2 capsule to Guo Dongkang.

Guo Dongkang, who finally recovered, was not angry because of Xie Qin's pressure. Instead, he was somewhat glad that he chose Xie Qin. He was indeed stronger than he felt.

Guo Dongkang wanted to take the capsule, but found that he had no strength left in his body. Xie Qin took a few steps forward, grasped Guo Dongkang's arm and helped him up.

It was these few steps inside that made Xie Qin discover something was wrong in the house. From the corner of the entrance porch, one could see one-third of the living room, which was filled with food and water.

These foods were completely different from the ones he had stored. They were in the same boxes and were processed by the same food factory. It was already the eighth month after the apocalypse. The fact that there was still so much food could only mean that this person had made sufficient preparations in advance.

When Guo Dongkang stood up, he wanted to thank her, but he saw Xie Qin looking at his living room. He didn't explain, and the first sentence he said was.

"You were the one who sent the email to the government, weren't you?"

Xie Qin raised his eyes again, and at that moment there was murderous intent in his eyes, which Guo Dongkang also felt.

"Sorry, I just wanted to say that maybe we are the same."

"What do you mean?" Xie Qin retracted her gaze. She just wanted to kill someone directly. Once bitten by a snake, she hated the reborn people, just like the first thing she wanted to do was to kill Du Mingxuan.

But the man in front of her didn't threaten her yet, so she wanted to know more and walked slowly into the room. Guo Dongkang didn't stop her, nor did he dare to stop her. He could only stagger with little strength and carefully follow Xie Qin to explain.

"Rebirth, or perhaps being able to see the future."

"So how much do you know about the future?" Xie Qin paused and asked, and was shocked by what he saw.

The layout of Guo Dongkang's house is the same as the 88th floor where she lives now. All the empty spaces in the house are filled with food. There are solar panels in front of all the windows. The original swimming pool has also been raised and covered, and is filled with freezers. The swimming pool is also filled with water.

"I have seen that email. My grandfather let me see it after the Ministry of State Security confirmed its authenticity. But I know the end of the world happened much earlier."

"Rebirth?"

"Yes. In my previous life, I didn't survive the rainy season and starved to death in this room. So I knew everything that happened after the rainy season through that email. But as far as I know, no one in my previous life gave the country a warning, and there was no one like you in our building. You just appeared out of thin air. So I think you are like me, reborn, or you can see the future. So in my eyes, you are the most likely person to send the email."

"so what?"

"So, I think you must be fully prepared, and you are very strong, right? Following you is safer than going to any base."

"But I will take you out too. You might die out there." Xie Qin always spoke in a lazy manner. His voice was crisp but had a tail tone. It wasn't loud but every word could enter the listener's ears and linger for a long time.

"I will become strong too, won't I?" Guo Dongkang said as he walked two steps forward to Xie Qin and stretched out his hand. He opened his palm and stared at the capsule in Xie Qin's right hand that he didn't hand to him.

Xie Qin smiled, and when the capsule appeared in Guo Dongkang's hand again, it had turned into a box. The transparent plastic box was filled with level 2 capsules, and it appeared in Guo Dongkang's hand so calmly. It would be a lie to say that they were not excited, because even if they had enough points, they could not exchange for level 2 capsules.

After thinking clearly about sending people away, Xie Qin did not plan to let these psychics become stronger. He did not open the exchange of level 2 capsules. After the psychics took the level 1 capsules to upgrade to level 2, the level 1 capsules were useless to them. Taking them again would only restore the consumed psychic powers in the body.

Now that a box of Level 2 capsules appeared in Guo Dongkang's hands, he would understand that he must be not far from the Level 3.

"I don't care who you were before. Since you choose to stay, I will treat you as one of my own. I will never treat my own people unfairly."

[Beep, beep, resident Guo Dongkang's loyalty has risen to 80, and he has been classified as a senior resident. Will the owner list him as a base guard? ]

After the loyalty becomes high, the system will ask Xie Qin whether to upgrade the resident status. Xie Qin has only accepted one subordinate, Miao Zhe, and one guard, Xu Kai. The others are all residents, and Xie Qin did not upgrade their status even if their loyalty is high enough.

After all, there are limited places for different identities. There are only 5 places for my subordinates and places for guards. It doesn’t matter for other residents. The rewards for residents are only experience and prosperity.

Xie Qin looked deeply at the man in front of her, and then clicked "no" in her mind. It was not the right time yet, and she needed time to verify the availability of this person.

Only those who are useful and strong enough are qualified to occupy her position. These positions cannot be given away easily.

The next morning, Xie Qin explained everything and only took Guo Dongkang and Miao Zhe with her. She planned to go to Kyoto if she had the chance, after all, she had to do what Xiang Sixing had told her. It would be easier to find the traces in Kyoto with Miao Zhe there.

The defense system of the secondary base can at least stop the second-level zombies from approaching. As long as the people who stay in the building do not leave the protection range, there will be no danger.

In addition, Xie Qin was not worried about the safety of Xie Ran's third-level spiritual power. After all, he was just in the early stages of awakening his power skills. Not to mention the third level, it was estimated that there were fewer second-level power users in the whole country than in his base.

The zombies have just appeared, so there can't be any high-level zombies, and the plants and animals haven't mutated. It's actually the safest time for her to leave the base and go out to do things at this time.

There is no danger ahead, and no worries at the base.

Almost everyone who left the building could drive, but had never driven a bus before. Twenty young men were selected, and Zhang Mingfang spent twenty minutes explaining in detail how to drive a bus. They were finally able to get on the road.

A heavy truck RV led the way, Guo Dongkang was driving the car, and Miao Zhe was assembling a computer in the passenger area of ​​the RV. It would take some time to assemble four or five split screens plus the main unit.

Xie Qin closed his eyes and opened his spiritual field to cover the surrounding area of ​​5 kilometers. The number of zombies was not too many. Compared with the density of a zombie tide every few dozen meters in the previous life, the number of zombies in this life was really not too many.

There were only about ten zombies gathered within a five-kilometer radius, and they were all in the city. He took out his phone and looked at the route, then chose the nearest road and walked behind the driver's seat and handed it to Guo Dongkang.

"Go this way."

"This road passes through Jiangqiong City, so there should be a lot of zombies there."

"Taking this route to the nearest Lake City base can save two days."

"But too many zombies will also affect our progress."

Xie Qin lowered his head and patted Guo Dongkang on the shoulder. He did not explain, but just said two words lightly.

"obedient."

Guo Dongkang was speechless for a moment, holding his breath in his chest. He felt that even if Xie Qin was a reborn person, he still had the mentality of a child and did things without considering the consequences.

This thought changed dramatically within an hour.

There weren't many zombies in Dongyue City, and Xie Qin went out every time to look for supplies, so he didn't spend much time exercising. He had learned some good skills from Liang Pengfei, but he had never used them. It just so happened that several waves of zombies gathered in Jiangqiong City, and Xie Qin just wanted to stretch his muscles and save some time.

When they were about to reach Jiangqiong City, the leading heavy truck stopped, and the ten buses following behind also stopped. Xie Qin stood on the highway into the city, looking at the ruined city not far away, frowned and felt something was wrong. There was indeed a wave of zombies in the city, eight of them. But the city was so quiet that even so many zombies did not make any sound.

After a while, Miao Zhe brought the generated map of Jiangqiong City to Xie Qin, pulled the three-dimensional map on the tablet, and used his mental power to sense the location of the zombies. Xie Qin was surprised to find that

The eight waves of zombies were evenly distributed, all in the middle of the eight districts. She didn't think the zombies had the ability to sense directions and could gather so evenly. So there was only one answer, and that was man-made.

"Boss. What's wrong with this place?"

"You feel it too?"

"Hmm, it's too quiet. Are we still going in?"

"Wait!" Xie Qin was suddenly startled. The mental power he had just spread out was blocked back.

You have to know that her mental power is at the fourth level. Not to mention now, even ten years after the end of the world, this is considered a strong person. The person who can block her mental power must have a higher mental power than herself.

[Xiaobao, can you help me find that person? ]

[People? What people? There is no one left in this city.]

【What's the meaning? 】

[The host is full of zombies, there is no one, not even one. 】

[What was the spiritual power just now? ]

[Psychological mutant zombies~]

[Are there mentally mutated zombies now? ]

[Master, this little fort is not clear~ The little fort can't capture the picture, there is nothing I can do~]

【never mind. 】

[Master, Master~ But Xiaobao detected that it was a Level 4 mutant Psychic Zombie King. We have a side quest to hunt down the Level 4 Zombie King~ Don't you want to do it? ]

What is the reward?

[Two hundred inspection and attack drones~]

Xie Qin hesitated for a moment, looked back at the ten buses parked on the highway, and finally decided to send these people away first.

"Take a detour to Lake City Base,"

Guo Dongkang, who was sitting in the driver's seat, shook his head helplessly. He had no choice. Who told him that he was not as strong as Xie Qinqiang? He was ordered around by this little girl.

The convoy turned around and drove back for ten kilometers before returning to the route they had originally chosen, heading towards the Lake City base.
