End of the World Cycle

The Lake City Base was built on the top of the highest mountain in Province A. The mountain was 400 meters above sea level, and the winding mountain road led directly to the top of the mountain. Before the end of the world, it was a breeding base, and the distance to the provincial granary was only three kilometers.

Although it was in the worst-hit area of ​​the flood, it became the safest place. After the flood receded, the remaining troops began to expand the safe zone, which is now basically the size of a small town.

Xie Qin's convoy was stopped at a two-meter-high roadblock. At the wide entrance to the city stood more than twenty soldiers in camouflage uniforms. Each of them was carrying a standard submachine gun, and all of them looked serious and alert.

Xie Qin did not get off the car, but Guo Dongkang did. A minute later, Guo Dongkang got on the car, the roadblock was opened, and the convoy was taken to the open square on the right.

Everyone on the bus got off, and a dozen soldiers followed. Everyone was divided into two teams, male and female. Xie Qin was no exception and stood in the team, after all, she also wanted to go in and take a look.

After getting off the car, a wave of heat hit Xie Qin, and she felt so stuffy that she wanted to take off her sun protection clothing. She put her hand on the zipper and remembered her mother's advice before she went out. If she got tanned when she went back, she would definitely be scolded again. So she had to pull up the sun protection mask and lower the hat to avoid exposing herself to the sun at all.

Xie Qin walked around to make sure everyone was down, and then put all the cars into the space in front of hundreds of people. Although everyone was surprised, they just stared with their eyes wide open and said nothing. After all, a superpower appeared, so it was nothing to do something out of the ordinary.

However, among the soldiers leading them, there was a man who looked like the captain who walked up to Xie Qin with some surprise. Although he couldn't see what Xie Qin looked like, he looked like a child from his height and those clear and lovely eyes.

"Little sister, are you a space-based psychic?"

"Yes."

"That's great. Our base is in need of people with this kind of special ability right now."

"Oh? Really? I don't plan to stay, but I can go in and take a look."

"Okay, let's go in first. It's definitely much safer here than outside."

The two teams were taken to the quarantine area and were required to undergo a physical examination and be isolated for 30 minutes. The process was not complicated, and a simple check for wounds on the body was enough. As long as they were not infected with the zombie virus and registered, they could enter the base normally.

The base was blocked by an electrified iron net, about 3 meters high. Some places were also under construction, with thick steel bars embedded meters underground and then poured with half a meter thick cement. It became a very solid-looking protective wall. It might have just started, and the wall was only built a dozen meters away.

If you walk further inside, you can see the whole picture of the town. It is full of makeshift tents and shanties made of wooden boards. Each one is packed with people. Some even have a family of five squeezed into a double tent.

Xie Qin had thought about how crowded it was, but she had never thought it was this crowded. A town that housed nearly 20 million people, and survivors were still rushing here. You could imagine how bad the environment was. She could imagine the expressions of the people behind her without even looking. Some of them wanted to talk to Xie Qin, but Xie Qin stood still and began to observe her surroundings with her full mental strength.

He didn't feel anything, after all, his mental power could only sense living things. After he opened his eyes, his gaze fell on the boys' team. After a while, Miao Zhe walked out of the crowd and came to Xie Qin.

"How about it?"

"Boss, we found it." After saying that, Miao Zhe put a mobile phone in Xie Qin's hand, which showed the floor plan of the Lake City base.

It was a fairly detailed layout map. The command base was on the top of the mountain, as was the granary. There was a river on the west side of the mountain. There were three hundred temporary shanties on the mountain, and the rest of the people lived at the foot of the mountain.

"Boss, I also found this." After saying that, Miao Zhe slid out of the map interface on his phone and entered the file column. There were two downloaded files in it.

"what is this?"

"The Lake City base has an internal system network. I hacked into it. They registered everyone's information and assigned tasks. Moreover, they haven't sent anyone out in such a long time."

"What do you mean?"

"Look at this official document. It's an order from our superiors. We need to stay on the spot and use the remaining people to build a base to transmit information about the zombie disaster area."

"So, there is also an eye here." Xie Qin nodded in understanding.

"Not just this place, the government has its own commando team and will also organize people with special abilities to collect information." Guo Dongkang, who was not far away, also came over and continued Xie Qin's words.

"You know a lot?"

"If you want to know these, there is no need to hack the system. I know more than the local base." Guo Dongkang walked forward a few steps and stood on the left side of Xie Qin.

"Tell me about it."

"The central government has a zombie extermination plan. A small number of people have been left in each region, along with an 80-man commando team. The commando team is well-equipped and has been collecting disaster information from various regions since the end of the world and sending it back to the central government. They will also conduct superficial search and rescue in the city to gather survivors. The purpose is to strengthen the commando team, tear open a gap in the zombie city, and merge with the large force outside in order to exterminate the zombies."

"It's a good plan. It sounds feasible. But, some places should have been disconnected, right? For example, Jiangqiong City."

"I'm not sure about that. After all, it's just a plan. It's definitely not perfect. Whether it will succeed or not is another matter."

"It's better than just sitting and waiting to die." Xie Qin was a little tempted. If the zombies could be wiped out before they mutated on a large scale, the chances of human survival would definitely be greater.

Although there are still various natural disasters and mutant plants and animals in the future, it is the zombies that will eventually destroy humans, so the existence of zombies is the biggest threat. So before these people are not strong enough, I may be able to help them, such as the zombie king in Jiangqiong City.

"Let's go back." Xie Qin was ready to leave after thinking it through. As soon as he turned around, dozens of people surrounded him, all of whom were the residents he brought with him.

"Base Commander! Can you take us back?"

These people were quite embarrassed to speak up, but it was understandable that they used to live in good quality houses with air conditioners. Here, they had to wear less clothes or soak in water to stay cool. The conditions were worlds apart from those at the Wuliang Base.

"The car only has enough gas for a one-way trip. I can't bring you back." Xie Qin shrugged helplessly.

"Can we ask the people at Lake City Base to borrow it? Take us back."

"I told you that it won't be that easy to go back. You have already lost the privileges of the original inhabitants, and you won't have your own place to live when you go back. Of course, I won't take away useless people either."

"Are you leaving?" The person who came seemed to have heard the conversation between Xie Qin and the others. It was the captain who had talked to him outside.

"Maybe."

"It's dangerous outside. You should stay here. We can protect you."

"Thanks, we have a base, but most people still prefer the big base, so I just bring them here."

“Are you a private base?”

"Yes."

"Then you can register. We will occasionally drop off national supplies to private bases, and we will also have exclusive radio channels to get news from all over the country."

"Well, yes."

"Then come with me and I'll take you to register."

Xie Qin left behind a group of anxious people and followed the soldiers. He did not dare to follow them and just stood there hiding in the shed for fear of getting sunburned.

Miao Zhe and Guo Dongkang followed closely to the registration office. The registration office was comfortable, with two fairly large air-conditioning fans whirring, and the indoor temperature was probably only about 35 degrees. There were three registration windows, two of which had long queues, and the other was empty.

"Those two are registration windows for people with special abilities. After registering your special abilities, you can receive supplies and a two-room shack."

"Oh? You also have special treatment here?" Xie Qin said with a chuckle.

"No, as long as they are registered people with special abilities, they will be assigned to the search and rescue team and will go on missions with the army. They are risking their lives, so the treatment will definitely be better. It's not special treatment. Just fill out this form, and that's it." The man said seriously.

Xie Qin threw the form to Miao Zhe without even looking at it. Miao Zhe took it, picked up the pen and started filling it out. In less than five minutes, he handed it to the person at the window. The person at the window took a look and stared at the three people, thinking it was funny.

"You are not big enough to form a base. The initial number of people required to form a base is 25, and you only have people. It won't work."

The soldier nearby was puzzled. He took the form and looked at it carefully. There were indeed 25 people on the form.

"Have you sent everyone here?"

"Of course, those who don't want to leave can stay in the base. We have to go back. If we can't register, we won't register."

"It's true that your number is not enough to register a base, but you have a lot of psychics. A dozen psychics can form a personal team."

"What's the use of a personal team?"

"The team also has an unlimited channel, which will continuously release some small tasks that the official team is too late to solve, such as search and rescue. After completing them, there will be a separate bounty currency. This currency is universal across the country and can be exchanged for supplies and things you need, even hot weapons, at the nearest official base."

"Our country has released hot weapons?"

"The eight coastal provinces have been opened, but the inland provinces within the defense line have not yet been opened. This is to make it easier for us to resist the zombies."

"That's fine, sign up for a team."

"Okay, please write down the specific abilities you have. After you successfully register, take the form to the warehouse next door to get your ID card and exclusive radio."

Listening to Xie Qin talking about registration, Miao Zhe took out his tablet, opened the resident information panel, took a registration form and started filling it out again.

"Boss, what's the name of our team?"

"The Infinite Squad."

"Okay. So what do you write about your ability?"

"Space, spirit, and power." These are the ones Xie Qin uses most often. She wants to make others feel that she is special, but not so unique. After all, there are many people who have survived in this life, and there are many people with special abilities. It is not uncommon to have dual-ability people, just like Bao Huihui and her son, both of whom have dual-ability. Not to mention such a big country.

Reporting three sets of supernatural powers is neither ordinary nor particularly eye-catching.

"You??!!! You are you?? A triple-powered person?" The soldier at the side was stunned, and he even stuttered when he saw Xie Qin.

Xie Qin smiled faintly, nodded and said nothing more.

"I've seen a few people with dual-system abilities, but this is the first time I've seen someone with triple-system abilities!" The man was only surprised for a moment, then he carefully watched Mu Zhe fill out the information.

There were twelve psychics in total, most of whom were officially designated as rare psychics, and there were two dual-type psychics and Xie Qin, a triple-type psychic. This team was a very strong team among the tens of thousands of psychics officially registered.

You have to know that their base has more than 20 million people, and among the 3 million psychics, there are only 73 rare psychics and 16 dual-power psychics. This ratio makes Xie Qin's team look strong.

"Boss, the captain wrote you, who should the deputy captain write?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Qin walked directly to Miao Zhe, took the pen from Miao Zhe's hand, wrote Guo Dongkang's name in the captain's position, and wrote his own name in the deputy captain's position.

"Him?" Miao Zhe was puzzled.

Xie Qin didn't say anything, just looked at Guo Dongkang and nodded. Guo Dongkang reacted and smiled helplessly.

Her identity is indeed useful in official circles. This little girl is not stupid at all.

"Brother Soldier, do you have any other exits here?"

"Other exits? What do you mean?"

"As you can see, the group of people outside are not satisfied with the accommodation conditions here and want to go back with me. Firstly, my car is out of gas, and secondly, I can't protect such a large group of people if I take them back. It's better for them to stay here and contribute to the construction of the base." Xie Qin's words were tactful, and the man next to him did not refuse.

After all, the base wants to keep this group of people. There are more than 500 people in total, almost all of whom are high-end talents, and there are more than 100 people with special abilities, including a few rare people with special abilities, all of whom are needed by their base.

Xie Qin's strategy is to make an extreme screening. If these people stay here for a few days, they will clearly feel the gap between their base and their own base. When they realize that they cannot go back to the inland, they will definitely find a way to return to their base.

By then, capable people will surely arrive at the Wuliang Base safely. Their hard-earned happiness will surely increase, and some cowardly and incompetent residents will be eliminated, achieving the best of both worlds.

The soldiers took the three people out from the back door of the registration office, bypassed the main gate, and sent them out directly through the gap in the wall that was being repaired. After they left, Xie Qin no longer cared about the situation inside the base.

The three of them took out a heavy truck RV from the space and headed straight for Jiangqiong City.
