End of the World Cycle

Facing the sudden morning glow on the horizon, Xie Qin drove the RV on the road. There were no bumps along the way. It seemed that this place had been cleaned up before.

Rongcheng is located in a basin. During heavy rains, the entire city, including the surrounding towns, was flooded, so the base was built on the mountain and all the people were evacuated before the heavy rain. After the tide receded, no zombies appeared in Rongcheng, so no zombie defense line was established.

When the zombies broke out and spread from the inside, people scattered and ran down the mountain without any obstructions, and the base became the one with the most survivors.

The temporary base is now in the university town west of Chengdu. The facilities and equipment in the university town are quite complete, with reinforced fences and high voltage electricity, making it the safest place.

A large number of zombies were wandering around the mountain of the original base, but there were not many inside Rongcheng, and even if there were, they had been almost cleared out by the logistics team.

So since entering the city, Xie Qin has hardly seen any zombies. But he discovered that many high-rise residential buildings were actually inhabited by people. Normally, in such a dangerous time, people would want to hide in the base, but the current situation is that many people live outside the base.

The car stopped smoothly at the gate, which was converted from the previous school gate. The heavy gate was wide open, and roadblocks were set up on the way in. There were patrolling soldiers on both sides, all of whom were psychics without exception.

Xie Qin was a little puzzled. These people were all second-level psychics. There were a lot of people at the gate, and everyone was queuing up with supplies in their hands. An LED screen at the gate was scrolling and playing. Xie Qin couldn't see it clearly while sitting in the car, so he drove the car to the driveway to queue up closer.

After a closer look, I found that it was a condition for entering the base. Psychics can enter the base for free, with food and accommodation provided, and a monthly salary of 500 points, but they must serve the Psychic Corps. If Psychics pay food to enter, they will be relatively free, can choose the work they can do, earn points, and are not controlled by the base.

Ordinary people need to pay 50 kilograms of food to enter. If food and accommodation are provided, they must work for the base. If food and accommodation are not provided, they can find a place to work and earn points.

These conditions are not set by the government at all. Official bases accommodate survivors for free, provide basic food every day, and allow them to find jobs and earn digital currency on their own. It is obvious that the Chengdu base is no longer official.

But Xie Qin had to go in. It seemed that she had no choice but to go in if she wanted to find Liu Bo.

Two people, Xie Qin took out a hundred kilograms of potatoes from the space. It took nearly thirty minutes to get to Xie Qin. The two did not get out of the car, but opened the window. Shui Limu let the woven bag out of the window. When the staff saw the two people in the car, they were instantly attracted, not for any other reason, but simply because they thought they were good-looking.

After the end of the world, especially now when water is extremely scarce, it is almost impossible to see such a clean and good-looking person. He drives a brand new RV with the air conditioner on, and he acts so decisively. It is obvious at first glance that he is not an ordinary person.

The checkpoint at the entrance only requires handing over food. Once you pay enough food, your car will be allowed to pass. Inside is a football field, which is full of cars. Xie Qin found an empty space and parked the car. Opposite the football field is the registration office, which should have been the lobby of the teaching building.

From a distance, through the glass door of the lobby, I could see that there were more people in the lobby than at the entrance. It looked like we had to queue up.

Xie Qin looked at the three big dogs curled up at his feet, rubbed their heads, took out three dog bowls from the space and filled them with dog food, and also took out a large basin of water.

As soon as the door of the RV was opened, a rush of hot air rushed in. Xie Qin immediately closed the door again. Shui Limu, who was walking behind Xie Qin, was very close to him, and she bumped directly into Shui Limu's arms.

Shui Limu held Xie Qin's shoulders familiarly.

"A walkie-talkie?"

"Are you asking me if I have a walkie-talkie?"

"Ah."

"Yes. What for?" After saying that, Xie Qin took out the walkie-talkie from the space and turned around to hand it to Shui Limu.

Shui Limu took the intercom, adjusted the two intercoms and gave one to Xie Qin.

"Wait for me, I'll call you." Shui Limu pointed to the crowded hall in the distance.

"Okay, go and line up. Call me when you're here." When Xie Qin heard Shui Limu was leaving, she stepped out of Shui Limu's arms in two steps and sat down on the sofa.

Shui Limu looked back at Xie Qin, who had a thankful look on his face, and couldn't help but smile. That smile just met Xie Qin's eyes. Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, as if he saw doting in those eyes?

Xie Qin wasn't dazzled. That was the same look her mother gave her. Her heart beat faster instantly. She looked away, and just in time Erha walked up to her. She touched the dog's head from time to time.

Xie Qin heaved a sigh of relief after Shui Limu left. Watching the three dogs eating dog food, she felt a little hungry too. She took out the Bobo Chicken that her mother had made from the space, selected some of her favorite and ate about ten skewers. When she finished, the dogs gathered around her feet.

The three dogs seemed to be very attached to her. As long as Xie Qin was there, they would hardly leave her alone. Xie Qin looked at the three dogs, two German Shepherds, one male and one female. Although they were both very thin, the male's skeleton was still larger, and its fur was generally black.

The female one is smaller, with brown fur, a mixture of black and brown that is not very pure. Xie Qin was not good at naming, and after looking at the dog for a long time, she came up with two names.

"Your name is A-Wu, and your name is A-Hua."

He looked at the Husky that was staring at him blankly, hesitated for only two seconds and then spoke.

"Just call me Aha."

The three dogs didn't react. Xie Qin took out some beef jerky from the space and showed them to the three dogs, preparing to let them get familiar with his name. He took one in his hand, and the attention of the three dogs was instantly attracted. Then he spoke to A Wu.

"Awu, Awu." After calling twice, none of the three dogs responded. Xie Qin patted Awu's head and continued calling.

When he barked for the fifth time, Awu looked at his master with a puzzled look, tilted his head and barked. Xie Qin was instantly happy. He rubbed the dog's head and stuffed the beef jerky into Awu's mouth.

Using the same method, Ah Hua also successfully understood her new name. When it was Ah Ha's turn, Xie Qin spent a full thirty minutes but failed to make Ah Ha react. When he was about to give up, there was a knock on the RV door.

Through the window of the RV door, Xie Qin saw clearly that it was Shui Limu who came back. Only then did he realize that Shui Limu had been waiting in line for more than an hour. He opened the door and saw Shui Limu holding two forms in his hand and walked to the dining table and put them down.

"fill."

"Don't I need to go in person? Can I just fill out the form?"

"Okay. Fill it out. Let's go. Submit. Get the card."

"You mean after we fill it out, we just need to hand it in together, right?"

"Yeah." Mizutachi nodded.

There wasn't much information to fill out on the form, so Xie Qin filled in the name Guo Qinling without hesitation. Fortunately, she had a digital identity when she registered last time, so she filled in the information according to the ID card. When it came to the column about superpowers, she hesitated. They had registered for a superpower team before, and although they used Xie Qin's name, they only wrote a name and did not leave any other clues.

In addition, the current Lake City base has long been destroyed, and the official side should not have left any information about him. It seems that Guo Qinling's name will be much more useful when doing things outside.

I would often use my space ability, so I just filled in a space ability. Although space abilities are rare, they don't have any real attack power, so they are not in great demand. Most of them will serve as storage in a team, so they won't be too eye-catching.

Glancing at Mizutachi's form.

"You write about psychiatry?"

"Only. This."

"As a zombie king, don't you have any awareness of yourself? Speed ​​or strength, you can write either one."

"Oh." After saying that, Shui Limu carefully crossed out the three words "spiritual system" and wrote "strength" instead.

"Are you 21?"

"Ah."

Xie Qin was a little surprised. Shui Limu was quite tall and looked only about sixteen or seventeen years old. He looked like a teenager. She didn't expect that he was already 21.

Then Xie Qin took a deep look at Shui Limu's upper body and couldn't help but think of the figure under the T-shirt. Indeed, only an adult male could have such a figure.

Sure enough, the person he liked had no flaws in any other way except being a zombie.

After submitting the form, Xie Qin had no plans to go to the housing transaction center. Since he didn't plan to live there for a long time, he would rather live more comfortably in his own RV.

While waiting for the ID card, Xie Qin looked around. There were still a lot of people, not all of them here to register. The hall around the other corner was the transaction window, and the entrance was through this big door. Xie Qin walked over and saw even more people inside.

There were all people who came to exchange points, holding all kinds of things in their hands, the most of which were corpse crystals. You know, this was the first time Xie Qin saw someone using corpse crystals to exchange points at the base, and thinking of the second-level psychics at the door, Xie Qin walked up to ask a person holding a small bag of corpse crystals.

"Hello, bro. What is this?"

"You don't know?" The middle-aged man who was asked by Xie Qin was a little puzzled.

"Well, I just got to the base."

"No wonder. Let me tell you, after the zombie virus broke out, the government announced that corpse crystals can help people with special abilities evolve. They also detailed the purification methods. Radio 102.8 broadcasts it on repeat. You can go back and listen to it and you will know."

"Then why don't you keep it for yourself?"

"We are all at level two. This level one corpse crystal is not very useful. It would be more practical to exchange it for points to buy some food. But, the things we can exchange at our Rongcheng base are not too many. If we switch to an official base, one level one corpse crystal can be exchanged for a pound of pork!" The man was a talkative person, and seeing that Xie Qin was a clean and pretty girl, he just said whatever he wanted.

"Isn't the Rongcheng base an official base?"

"No, after the zombie outbreak, most of the government staff were infected, and they didn't bring any food out. They were all surrounded by the zombie tide. This temporary base was built by the Tian family, the family that used to own the largest food processing factory in Rongcheng. It has become an independent private base."

Xie Qin finally understood that the country should mobilize all its people to kill as many zombies as possible. I believe that such promotion should help control the zombies a little. After thanking him, Xie Qin returned to the registration office.

It was 4:30 in the afternoon when they waited. In order to find a place to stay, they did not rush to get their cards. People left one after another, leaving only a few people except Xie Qinshui.

Xie Qin glanced at the gate and saw no one else coming in. It seemed that the base had been closed. When the last person left the registration window and the staff inside stretched, Xie Qin walked over and lay down in front of the window.

"Take the form and give it to me after you fill it out." The man at the window spoke without noticing the form in Xie Qin's hand.

"I have filled it out and am waiting for my ID card. I would like to ask if you can find someone here?"

“Residents’ information is confidential and cannot be checked.”

"Brother, thank you for your help. I want to find my uncle. I just want to know if he is alive." Xie Qin handed in a bottle of mineral water through the window.

The man then looked up and saw the girl outside the window. The girl was fair and pretty, and she was obviously an important person who had no shortage of food and drink. A bottle of water was more precious than gold nowadays, not to mention an unopened bottle of mineral water.

An unopened bottle of mineral water can be taken to the inner city and exchanged for three kilograms of food. It is much more valuable than the 500 milliliters of water distributed every day at the base.

The man wanted to take a look around to make sure there was no one around, and then he carefully put the mineral water under the table.

"name?"

"Liu Bo, about 35 years old."

The man typed on the keyboard very quickly, and within a few seconds his personal information popped up on the screen.

"There are three men in their thirties named Liu Bo. Which one is it?"

"This is a power-type esper."

Xie Qin looked at the information of the three people on the screen and pointed at the only one with special abilities.

The staff member clicked on the information, and Xie Qin saw clearly that the registration photo was indeed Liu Bo, and he was still alive and in this base.

"I live in the prefabricated house in District D, 2091."

"OK, thanks."

After asking, Shui Limu also got his ID card and took ten first-level corpse crystals to the exchange window to exchange for 200 points. After the two returned to the RV, they looked at the map. They were now in Area E. Area D was the main residential area of ​​the base. Almost % of the people lived there. It was very large. Even if they arrived at Area D, they still had a long way to go to find where Liu Bo lived.

The car can be driven to Area D, but it can only be parked at the gate of Area D. Liu Bo lives in Building 2 of Area D. After knowing that Liu Bo is here, Xie Qin is no longer in a hurry.

"Let's go buy you some clothes."

The RV drove to the commodity trading center, which was converted from a cafeteria. It had three floors in total and became a trading place after being cleared out. The first floor seemed to be a free stall, where one could set up a stall after paying a small stall fee. The second floor was the official department store of the base.

The third floor has not been changed and is still a cafeteria, a special cafeteria for people with special abilities. To get to the third floor, one has to pass through the first and second floors. It seems to have become a marketing method. After all, people with special abilities seem to be the main consumers of this base.
