End of the World Cycle

Without Xie Ran and Miao Zhe to control the zombies and clear the way, and the convoy was too long, it was a bit difficult to encounter a zombie tide. After several zombie tides, Xie Qin was already sweating from exhaustion.

Her physical condition was not good. Even with the evolution of her superpowers and long-term training, her physical condition was still average. In addition, she was small in size and did not have much energy, so she naturally could not last long.

Shui Liqing, who was sitting in the passenger seat, reached out his hand and wiped the sweat off Xie Qin's forehead with his slightly cool palm. He said "Huh" softly to Xie Qin, then opened the car window, climbed out through the window and climbed onto the roof.

Xie Qin was startled and wanted to brake, but was afraid of throwing Shui Liqing off, so she had to try her best to drive the car more steadily. Shui Liqing had amazing jumping ability, and with just one leap, she jumped from the SUV to the roof of the first bus behind.

A spiritual force spread silently, and no one except Xie Qin noticed it. Knowing what Shui Liqing was doing, Xie Qin withdrew his spiritual power.

After relaxing, he took two capsules and felt comfortable. Shui Liqing jumped back and forth on the roofs of twenty cars, and the zombies around him seemed to be unable to see them.

They would no longer gather around because of sounds and wander around aimlessly. Even if they were hit by a car, they would not react at all. When resting at night, Xie Qin specially prepared a lot of food for Shui Liqing.

Shui Liqing didn't care and didn't feel tired. Instead, he thought it was fun to jump around like that. But he wouldn't refuse the food. Just when he was about to eat, he suddenly remembered something. He took out a knife and fork from his suitcase and started cutting and eating politely.

On the morning of the third day, Xie Qin and others arrived. Hearing the roar of the car, the rest of the people became excited, fearing that something might happen to them on the road, and also afraid that they would never come back.

But in just three days, Xie Qin and the others came back. Twenty-one buses started to squeeze in, and each bus was packed with fifty people. Because of the overload, the speed of the bus was obviously slowed down, but Xie Qin did not plan to stop, because she knew that the temperature would start to drop at twelve o'clock tonight.

Fortunately, many of the remaining adults can drive. They have been sitting next to the driver and learning for a short time, and they dare to drive on flat roads. With replacements, they will definitely have to stay up late to drive.

In the early morning, Xie Qin and the drivers were all staying awake with strong coffee. The air conditioner was on in the car, and the people inside didn't feel the temperature change at all. It was not until the driver saw big raindrops falling from the sky that he couldn't help but shout,

"It's raining!! It's raining!"

Almost everyone was awakened by the rain and looked out the window. They were so excited. Half a year! It hadn't rained for half a year. If it wasn't one in the morning, they really wanted to get off the bus and take a look.

Soon a middle-aged woman sitting in the last car noticed something was wrong.

"Look at the thermometer!" the woman shouted, pointing at the thermometer.

Everyone then turned their attention to the temperature display on the bus, which showed the outdoor temperature, 36 degrees.

This temperature is not strange, but what is strange is that the temperature suddenly dropped from 58 degrees. This is beyond their common sense. Once they started paying attention to the temperature, they began to find that the temperature was almost dropping in a straight line.

Until the sky began to turn white, but after five hours, the temperature had dropped to 19 degrees. The people in the car looked at themselves and saw that they were either wearing a vest or a short-sleeved shirt, and all of them were wearing shorts, and they couldn't help but sweat.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. Xie Qin started to get anxious and started to speed up. It was fine on the asphalt road, but once he got to the country road, the road became muddy and the overloaded buses were almost welded together.

Xie Qin glanced at the rearview mirror and nearly crushed the steering wheel.

Cursing "f***", Xie Qin picked up the walkie-talkie.

"Count the number of people with super powers."

'Two people in car number one' 'One person in car number two' 'Four people in car number three...'

There were a total of sixty-four power users in the twenty-one cars. Xie Qin took a look at the temperature outside (11 degrees) and began to look for clothes in the space with a frown.

"All power-type esper please get off the bus. Go to the terminal car to get your clothes and raincoats."

Xie Qin got off the car, and Shui Liqing, who was already soaked by the rain, found a broken umbrella from somewhere and held it over Xie Qin's head. Xie Qin looked up at Shui Liqing, who was smiling at her, and took out her waterproof jacket and raincoat from the space and put them on.

After putting on their clothes, the dozens of people also trotted over to Xie Qin's side. The rain was so heavy that they couldn't even open their eyes. Xie Qin distributed the clothes and raincoats piled up in the space to these people one by one. Due to limited conditions, they couldn't tell the size at all, so they could only put on whatever they could.

After assigning two or three strength-type psychics to a car, they started pushing the car.

After that, the team spent almost half of the time pushing the car. The original two and a half days of travel were only halfway completed on the third day. The temperature was already below zero. When the blizzard came, the team was trapped in a landslide. The road began to freeze, and Xie Qin had no anti-skid chains at all.

Without relevant experience and not knowing how to solve the problem, Xie Qin and his men were trapped in the same place. Principal Huang seemed to see Xie Qin's embarrassment and walked to Xie Qin's car window and knocked on the glass.

"How far are we from the base?"

"Eight hundred kilometers."

"Do you have snow chains?"

"No, I'm not prepared. And... I don't know what to do."

"Is there a map of the surrounding area?"

"Have."

"Give it to me, I'll take care of it." Principal Huang smiled gently, and Xie Qin felt relieved instantly. After adjusting the map on the tablet, he handed it to Principal Huang.

After analyzing the location, Principal Huang took out all the wearable clothes from his own space and began to distribute them. All the speed users put on their clothes and began to look for chains in the surrounding area. The other users took turns to put on their clothes and began to dig through the blocked road in batches.

Seeing how Principal Huang handled the situation, Xie Qin couldn't help but feel that he was immature. Yes, it was such an easy problem to solve, but he was stumped by the difficulties and lost his composure. If he was calm enough, he would definitely be able to come up with this solution.

There weren't many chains, and each car only had one tire installed. It was the fifth day when we set out again. The road was icy and then snow began to accumulate. We couldn't see the road anymore, and the speed dropped to 30 mph. We could only try to drive forward according to the navigation route.

When they arrived at Dongyue City, eight days had passed. Including the three days before, it was a total of eleven days before Xie Qin finally brought the people back. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. When they arrived at the base, Xie Qin had basically received the basic information of the base.

It was shocking that the base now had 5,000 residents. Adding the more than 1,000 people I brought back, it was more than 6,000 people. It was considered a large base.

Due to the increase in population and the number of people with special abilities, the base has automatically been upgraded to level three, and the range of the defense shield has been expanded by three kilometers. Guo Dongkang, who has the authority to perform stimulation operations, also knows that the range has been expanded. It can be seen that the extra space has been planned by them.

There was only a simple wooden fence outside the area as a boundary. At least 2,000 people outside were unable to enter the base and lived in the houses outside. Seeing that there was a patrol drone every other area, Xie Qin smiled. It seemed that Guo Dongkang had figured out the function of the defense system.

The temporary registration office was moved to the border of the protective shield, with a row of six makeshift board houses with the heater humming. Next to it was a driveway that only people could enter.

Perhaps because of the weather, there was no one outside. After the convoy stopped, a tall man walked out of the first wooden house.

As the man stepped forward, Xie Qin rolled down the window and was about to speak when he heard the man bowing to him politely, holding the submachine gun in front of his chest.

"Hello, Base Commander!"

Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, then nodded awkwardly.

"Hello, hello. The person behind me is the one I brought back. Please let him go."

"Yes! Do these people need to register?"

"Yes, yes, yes, sign in. Is there anyone in charge here?"

"Yes, I'll go call."

After a while, a person ran out of the third room. Xie Qin looked closely and found that it was Shen Ling.

"Base Commander! Are you back?"

"Well, you take care of the people behind you. After they're registered, arrange for their food and lodging. They'll be together with the group of students I brought back earlier."

"Okay! Sister Zhou has arranged the previous batch of students in school dormitories."

"Dormitory? Forget it, let's separate the social workers from the students. Contact Teacher Zhou and let her sort it out."

"Okay, do you want to go in first?"

"Ah."

Xie Qin nodded, and saw the man behind Shen Ling waving in the direction of the board house and making a gesture that she could not understand, and the fence of the driveway rose up.

As soon as the convoy entered the air layer inside the protective shield, they could feel something different. The snow outside was so heavy that the road was almost invisible, but in the area, the raindrops were as big as beans, and although the road was a bit muddy, it was still clean.

From time to time, you can see sanitation workers in uniform cleaning the streets, which really gives you a sense of the pre-apocalyptic world. Many stores are open, and there are people cleaning and tidying up the shelves, as if they are about to open a store.

After the base was expanded, the hospital, school, security department, supermarket and shopping mall all had separate buildings. From a distance, Xie Qin saw the substation under construction and the iron tower under repair.

Several small base stations were also built inside. If nothing goes wrong, the base should be able to communicate. As soon as I arrived at the door of the building, I saw Zhou Lili and Guo Dongkang waiting downstairs. The two of them came up to greet me when the car stopped. Xie Qin rolled down the window.

"Is there any communication?"

"Yes, a group of people have come to the base, some of them know how to set up base stations, and with Miao Zhe's technology, we can now communicate within the range of the base station."

"Okay, don't worry, come to my house later. By the way, Mr. Zhou, please deal with the group of people I brought back, and Principal Huang and Mr. Gu will take good care of them."

"Okay, I know. Then you go back and rest first. Mr. Guo and I will come to see you later."

As soon as he entered the corridor, the heating enveloped his whole body. Xie Qin took off his coat and rubbed his face before entering the elevator. The building was very quiet at this time, and there was almost no one to be seen except for the normal security.

After returning home and listening to her mother, Xie Qin learned that there were many new residential areas in the base. The temporary residence originally prepared could not accommodate so many people. Zhou Lili led people to open up a community next to it. Now almost all the new residents live there. They also took this opportunity to empty the Pearl Building as the central building.

Now only the first group of internal residents who have housing rights live there, the Shui family, and later Zhou Lili and Liu Bo's family of three.

Xie Qin nodded involuntarily. Indeed, the building could be used as a central security base, which could just cover the entire base. Xie Qin was considering whether to set the actual operating authority of the system to the building.

After living a new life, Xie Qin knew very well his own worth. Although he had a lot of golden fingers, he could not make full use of them with his own strength and vision.

But once the actual operating system is set up, if either Zhou Lili or Guo Dongkang has second thoughts, the base will be destroyed. Zhou Lili himself is very relieved, but Guo Dongkang is not.

Seeing that Guo Dongkang's loyalty was stuck at 89, Xie Qin still hesitated. She shook her head to dispel the thought, but she still couldn't put her trump card in someone else's hands. After all, she had been betrayed before.

After taking a hot bath, Zhang Mingfang took Xie Qin, whose skin had become rough due to the wind and sun over the past ten days, to do a full beauty treatment from head to toe.

She slept comfortably until dinner time when her mother woke her up to eat. After a good sleep, she looked radiant. Zhang Mingfang looked at her daughter with satisfaction and began to serve her some food.

"Teacher Zhou and Mr. Guo came over when you were asleep in the afternoon. I told them that you hadn't slept well in several days and that you should rest. I asked them to come back at eight o'clock."

"Okay." Xie Qin looked at the time on his watch. It was only half past six. Then he nodded.

After dinner, Xie Qin spent an hour asking Xiaobao to generate a three-dimensional map of the base. Guo Dongkang did not have the authority, so he just put base signs on the places where they would be used. Except for what he saw when he passed by, he had no idea what the others were used for.

The two men arrived at 3:. The three of them sat in front of the big table in the flower hall. Xie Qin raised his hand, and the D holographic image of the base appeared on the table.

This was the first time Guo Dongkang had seen this person, and he must have been surprised that he appeared out of thin air as if by magic. However, when he thought that this person was Xie Qin, nothing was surprising at all.

"Who wants to speak?" Xie Qin pointed at the two people on the table.

"Let me do it. Do you have a small stick?" Guo Dongkang stood up.

"Mom, find a small stick or something."

"Eh."

After a while, Zhang Mingfang appeared with a tickler.

"Without a stick, will this work?"

"Okay." Guo Dongkang looked at Zhang Mingfang, who was asking him with a tickler and eyes wide open, and his ears turned red instantly. Xie Qin didn't notice it at all, but Zhou Lili on the side looked at Guo Dongkang meaningfully.
