End of the World Cycle

The next morning, Xie Qin had a good sleep. He opened the window to get some fresh air and saw several people lying on the ground. He turned around and said to the two people who were having breakfast.

"Play to death?"

"No! No, these people are just tired and haven't woken up yet." Xu Nuo waved his hands quickly and said.

Xie Qin then observed that people were breathing. Fortunately, the temperature was not too low, and these people were not wearing thin clothes. The protective cover also had some temperature-maintaining functions. These people slept like this for a night, and apart from catching a cold, there were no major problems.

"Go and ask them to drive with me. Then I'll ask Guo Dongkang to take them back to mine."

"Row."

When those people got up, they were groggy and their bodies ached so much that even breathing was painful, but when faced with a life-threatening situation, they had no choice but to obey.

The RV was driving in front and two cars were following behind. Although the road was relatively flat, the road conditions were inevitably bad in some places. Mu Zhe was driving, so his attention was naturally not on the two cars behind.

Gradually, the car at the back slipped out of Miao Zhe's control. After the driver felt that he could control himself, he thought about escaping.

At a bend, the car behind slowed down, made a sharp turn, turned around, and stepped on the accelerator to go in the opposite direction.

Xie Qin curled her lips, and the car instantly crashed uncontrollably into the broken electric pole next to it. The person in the driver's seat died on the spot due to the strong impact.

The passenger and the two people behind him were terrified. The car door was locked and couldn't be opened. They smashed the windows like crazy and tried to run away. But they heard the sound of a car getting closer and closer.

Xie Qin got out of the car and walked behind the accident car. He hooked the handle of the trunk and dragged the car back for a distance.

The people in the car were scared to death. It was not that they had never seen people with strong powers, but they had never seen such a perverted one.

The driver's door was opened by Xie Qin. Looking at the person who had stopped breathing but whose blood was still warm, he gently twisted the edge of the person's clothes with his index finger and thumb, and the person died in an instant. In order to avoid waste, it was just right to bring the fresh dead person back to Guan Feng.

It just so happened that everyone in the base was relatively obedient, and few people had been sentenced to death for such a long time. When people went out, there were more opportunities to kill people.

"Why are you running? I don't kill anyone."

"Please spare us, please spare us. We won't run, we won't run. He suddenly turned around and ran away, we didn't dare to run..." the person in the co-pilot seat said tremblingly.

"Okay, get out of the car."

Xie Qin clapped his hands and placed a car from the space on the open space next to him.

"Drive carefully. My car cannot be damaged. Got it?"

"I know... I know..." The three people's legs were weak, and they got into the car in a panic and calmed their breath before they dared to start the car and follow. Looking at their wrecked car in the rearview mirror and the blood on the main driver's seat, all of them told them that they had messed with the wrong people.

The Anyang base was originally built on a mountain by two large conglomerates in Anyang City. Coincidentally, one was a leading enterprise of the national food group, and the other was a well-known local construction group.

The two families have been related by marriage for generations, and by joining forces, they basically control the economic lifeline of Anyang City.

The base was originally located in a tourist resort developed by a consortium with good infrastructure. When the rainy season began, the resort on the mountain was not within the evacuation range.

At that time, the leaders of the two major conglomerates did not want to leave their business empires and go to the official base, but they were all upper-class people and had some inside information. They knew that the rain disaster was not simple, so they hurriedly transported the existing food in the factory and the government's relief granary to the mountain. They took most of the employees to the mountain and established their own base during the rainy season.

After the rainy season ended, they realized the seriousness of the situation and gradually standardized the base and began to accept survivors. After the population surged during the dry season, the base was moved to a small county town at the foot of the mountain.

At that time, there were only a small number of zombies here. After the cleanup, it was very safe, and it safely avoided the subsequent zombie releases. Now, it has become a famous private base.

When Xie Qin arrived, he saw that the outside of the base was full of people who wanted to enter the base but couldn't. The safe zone of about 800 meters was full of people camping on the spot.

The better ones are simple tents made of a few pieces of plastic placed on wooden sticks, while the worse ones are just a pile of luggage placed on the ground with nothing on the ground, and the family just huddles together to live in.

There were only a few small cars scattered around, and each of them was occupied by a family. They were probably cars that were lucky enough not to be soaked during the rainy season, or they might be car repairmen like Xu Kai.

After parking the car, Miao Zhe had already logged into the Anyang base's intranet and had all the information inside.

"There are quite a few people with special abilities. More than 20,000."

"Is the ratio so high?" Xie Qin was very surprised by this data. You know, although psychics are not rare, they are not that common either. In his previous life, he had seen a ratio of ten to one.

And this base has actually achieved the level where basically three out of every ten people have superpowers. It would be a lie to say that I am not jealous.

"Yes, the Anyang base has taken away several batches of ordinary people. The conditions for entering the base are harsh now, but they have sufficient food. Once you enter the base, everyone can have enough to eat. Look, boss. They have greenhouses for planting in the base, and they are still cultivating even during cold waves."

“They have a research institute?”

"Excluding the research institute, Anyang Food Group has its own research team. Many of them were experts in plants and animals. In addition, they later accepted a group of scientific research teams rescued from the official base. Those people were unable to leave because of the blizzard."

"Envy... How many of them are there?"

"I looked and saw that their own small team had eight people, and the official team had eleven."

Xie Qin blinked his eyes and took several deep breaths before he suppressed his urge to snatch the person away.

After looking at the number of people outside, he took out a similar number of brochures for his base from the space.

"Come on, tell the people in the back to work. Hand out flyers. You register, Xu Nuo will help, I'll go inside and take a look."

"Okay, go ahead, boss."

"I'll give you a satellite phone. If there are more than a hundred people, call Guo Dongkang and ask him to pick them up."

"Okay boss. I got it."

After explaining everything, Xie Qin got out of the car and walked towards the gate of Anyang Base. The productivity after the apocalypse could not keep up, and most bases were strengthening their protective measures on the basis of the original buildings.

The Anyang base was no exception. The high fences were all covered with electric grids, enclosing most of the small county town. Although crude, the electric grids were connected.

This kind of power grid is generally not very resistant to zombies, and is basically used to protect against humans. But you can also see that the power grid not far away is also being transformed section by section.

The walls were all replaced with thick bricks. They were not very strong, but they were definitely much better than this kind of railing. The gate was also very simple, with two lanes and two roads. There were guards, all of them were Level 2 or above.

There were thirty or forty people queuing up at the entrance to the base, each carrying a large bag. Xie Qin glanced at the notice board next to him.

{Announcement: This base only accepts residents with special abilities. Each person with special abilities can bring up to two family members. Each person entering the base must pay 50 kilograms of food.}

Xie Qin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the gold and other things he collected were not enough. Not as evil as the people here, at least the superpowers there can enter for free, and only ordinary people have to pay an entrance fee.

Everyone is treated equally here. They are all given 100 kilograms of food, and only the family members of the superpowers can have the opportunity to enter. Even with such high requirements, there are still so many people who want to enter. Xie Qin didn't regret the 100 kilograms of food. It was time to go in and take a closer look.

I arrived at the queue empty-handed and was stopped by the security guard.

"Private base, you need to bring food to enter."

"I brought it in my space." Xie Qin zipped up her jacket, covering half of her face, revealing a pair of sparkling eyes. She looked at the person who stopped her.

The man didn't say much. He knew that Xie Qin was a person with super powers, but he couldn't tell what super powers they had. After Xie Qin mentioned the space, he let him go.

He walked to the end of the line and looked at the front. There were men, women, young and old. But most of them were people with special abilities, which made Xie Qin envious.

It was very fast. I waited in line for about ten minutes before it was my turn. The basic process was that there was a third-level speed-based psychic there to check the psychic power, two people to count the food, and one person to register personal information.

There was no need to do anything else, just go in. When it came to Xie Qin, the man with super powers was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

"What kind of power do you have? What level?"

"A space-based mutant, level three." Xie Qin replied calmly.

"Three? Third-order space system. Please wait." After saying that, the man turned to the phone and made a call.

After a while, the man came back. He looked at Xie Qin and saw that there were not many people behind him, so he said to Xie Qin.

"Come with me, you don't need to pay for food."

"Huh? Oh, okay."

Xie Qin followed that person. After he left, the person who checked the superpowers was replaced by a second-level wood-type superpower user. The third-level speed-type superpower user who brought him in was a man in his thirties. He was not tall, about 1.73 meters, and very thin, but he walked very fast, and that was without using his superpowers.

"Uncle, can you go slower? My legs are short."

"Excuse me. Are you alone, little sister?"

"Yeah." Xie Qin nodded indifferently.

"That's good. You can stay here. We treat you well and you have enough food and clothing. The conditions here are better than in all other bases."

"Oh? Really? What's good about it?"

"We already have a planting base and food reserves. Food has entered a virtuous cycle. Do you see the smoke over there?"

"I saw it."

"Over there is our food processing plant and breeding farm. You don't have to worry about food. Those with abilities above level three can live in talent apartments, which have one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. The environment is very good. As long as you join us, food and accommodation are provided, and corpse crystals will be allocated every day."

"The conditions are so good, what should I do?"

"Our base is in great need of space-based psychics, especially since you are at level three. You can go to the No. 1 Supply Team, which is the best-paid team in our base."

"Yes, sure. Can I take a look around your base first? Take a look at the surroundings."

"Of course, but you have to go with me to meet our deputy base commander first."

"it is good."

Xie Qin followed the man for a short distance and stopped next to an electric bike.

"Get in the car, I'll take you there."

Xie Qin looked at the hard back seat, hesitated for a moment, and then sat down.

"Ah."

There were a lot of people along the way, almost the size of a small town, with people coming and going, shops open, selling all kinds of things, and cars on the road. There were too many people with special abilities. This was Xie Qin's biggest sigh. Basically, everyone she met was a person with special abilities.

"Aren't there any ordinary people in your base?" Xie Qin knew there were ordinary people, but he hadn't seen two of them for such a long time, so he felt very strange and asked.

"Yes, those without special abilities are required to work at the base. They all work at the planting base. They have to complete the tasks assigned by the base every day, which takes about six hours. After that, it's their free time."

“It’s quite humane.”

"That's right. I've already said that our base has the best treatment conditions."

The battery car drove for about ten minutes before arriving in front of a five-story building. When Xie Qin arrived here, he sighed, it was indeed corporate culture.

The people he met were all dressed in business suits, and they were all energetic and working seriously. Xie Qin's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. Except for those who were close by and looked up, everyone else was focused on their work. Looking at those people typing on the computer, Xie Qin did not understand what kind of work they were doing.

At this time, shouldn’t the busiest things be about food and clothing?

There are elevators on all five floors. The elevator went directly to the fifth floor. Xie Qin was taken to the outside of an office. The man knocked on the door, and a deep male voice sounded from inside.

"Enter."

From the sound of his voice, one could tell that he was quite old. At the same time, Xie Qin also felt that he was also a third-level psychic, and a lightning psychic.

After the door opened, a middle-aged man in his 50s appeared. He looked like an ordinary middle-aged man. Nothing special, except that he wore thick glasses.

He had to squint when looking at Xie Qin, and it was obvious that he had very poor eyesight.

"coming?"

"Hello, Deputy Base Commander."

"Well, sit down. Is this the little girl you were talking about?"

"Yes. It's... By the way, what's your name?"

"Guo Qinling."

"Guo Qinling, um, a good name, how old is the little girl?" The old man stood up and walked towards the cabinet beside him. He opened the cabinet and took out a bottle of mineral water.

"Almost fourteen."

"Are you so young? Well, it's no problem, it's no problem." He handed the water to Xie Qin.

Xie Qin took the water and sat on the sofa next to him.

"Xiao Zhuang, please go out first."

After the person who brought him here left, the old man sat opposite him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. Xie Qin could see that he had something to say. So he just looked at him calmly, waiting for him to speak.
