Chen Ruhai asked whether any other survivors were found, but unfortunately the two men were already scared silly. One had fainted from exhaustion, and the other could only hold his head and cry, muttering the word "monster" over and over again.

Seeing that he could not get any useful information out of them for the time being, Chen Ruhai decided to immediately gather his team and return, because everything that happened in the dungeon was beyond his understanding. He even instinctively felt that this place was very dangerous. Even though he knew that the monsters had just "finished eating", no one could be sure whether the monsters that tasted human blood would come back again. Now that they had found survivors, the wisest decision was to leave as soon as possible.

The news of the survivors brought back by the exploration team gave the people at the scene some hope. At least this time they finally saved a life after entering the underground city. Even the medical team members looked relieved.

Chen Ruhai was getting information from the exploration team and learned that there were still claw marks and footprints near the survivors, which seemed to indicate that the demons were hiding in deeper places.

After the news of the retreat came out, everyone began to withdraw in an orderly manner, and the interview team was also notified that they needed to go back with the team.

"Let's go quickly. I don't want to stay in this dungeon any longer. If those monsters come back, we won't be able to leave even if we want to." The recorder girl urged anxiously.

The photographer was obviously much calmer. "It shouldn't happen for now. The mutant animals that have been dormant for a long time will rest for a while after eating. But for safety's sake, it's better to leave as soon as possible." The photographer was a junior high school biology teacher before entering the base. He had a good understanding of animal habits. Later, he played self-media for a few years and visited several primitive tribes in Africa before the end of the world. He was quite brave, but he still felt scared when he recalled the scene just now.

A total of ten vehicles were dispatched to enter the underground city this time, including four off-road vehicles, one medical ambulance, two commercial vehicles, and the remaining three were ordinary cars, in addition to the motorcycles driven in by the exploration team. However, the ambulance needed to unfold the stretcher when returning, so the ambulance could not continue to accommodate the original people, and the other off-road vehicle also needed to carry the body of the demon, so the severed limbs at the scene could not be brought back, and only the severed limbs of Wang Shu and the guards, or the relatively intact bodies, could be found first.

But even so, in the end they only brought back less than half of the severed limbs.

In one of the off-road vehicles, a member of the Self-Defense Forces looked at a severed limb exposed under a white cloth and found that red corpse spots had appeared on the arm. This was only less than two hours after the accident.

That member couldn't help but feel sorry for his colleagues. Even if they sacrificed themselves, they couldn't leave an intact body. Compared with those powerful people who lived in villas and enjoyed a life of debauchery all day long, the lives and prices they paid became taken for granted in the eyes of those people.

On the way back, Liao Yunyun sent messages to Gu Tongwan and Chen Yanxi respectively. Chen Yanxi was much more detailed and briefly talked about the energy minerals and social demon species found in the restricted area.

Chen Yanxi pursed his lips, his stern eyes and eyebrows were shrouded in a suppressed coldness. The people in the hunter team nearby also noticed the captain's abnormality at this time, so everyone chose to remain silent at the same time.

After a long while, Chen Yanxi said calmly: "Prepare for the S-level mission in the near future. Everyone should strengthen the training content. I will check the results within half a month, especially Xuyang and Qingzhi. You must be promoted to A-level as soon as possible. If necessary, you can increase the dosage of nutrient solution."

"Boss, the nutrient solution is not cheap. According to the training intensity of Xuyang and Aokiji, especially a psychic like Aokiji, he needs to drink at least two bottles a day. Our team's monthly allocation is ten bottles of high-grade nutrient solution. Even if we give them all to the two of them, it will not be enough." Liu Hun bit his cheek. He felt angry when he thought about how they worked so hard, but most of the high-grade nutrient solution went to the powerful and influential people with backgrounds.

"If you don't have enough nutrient solution, go buy some. There should be channels to buy it on the black market. Also, I'll ask the laboratory for it. If Jiangcheng doesn't give it to you, I'll ask the capital for it."

Chen Yanxi looked at Xu Qingzhi and said, "Although your mental power has improved recently, it is easily affected by the external environment. The best way to concentrate your mental power is to learn to control and meditate. In addition to regular training during this period, you should come to my room every night from 8 to 9 o'clock to meditate for an hour."

The others immediately showed surprised expressions. After all, in all the years since the team was established, it seems that they have never seen the captain give one-on-one training to anyone. Before this, the only one who had received guidance from Chen Yanxi was Fang Tang. And that was a year and a half ago, when Fang Tang was promoted from B-level to A-level. Because his superpowers were unstable and he almost went berserk, Chen Yanxi specially gave him one-on-one guidance for almost a month. After the guidance, Fang Tang broke through the level and broke the record set by the previous A-level superpower users in one go.

Geng Zimo and Xuyang immediately looked envious. After all, it was a rare opportunity to get individual training from the boss. Previously, the capital wanted to transfer Chen Yanxi to the training center as an instructor at all costs, just to let Chen Yanxi train more high-level psychics.

As soon as Liao Yunyun came out of the underground city, she saw a young woman in a white coat pushing a small turtle cart and standing outside the security fence at the exit.

"Honey, please come and pick me up. I was planning to take a ride in my colleague's car." Liao Yunyun couldn't hide the tired look on her face, and she gave her a hug as soon as they met.

Gu Tongwan glanced at the men and women who had already gotten into the car behind her, and asked, "Do you still need to go back to work?"

"No, the video has been sent back to the station. I will be at work half an hour early tomorrow morning. I may need to make some work reports. I just want to take a shower and have some midnight snack tonight."

"Then get in the car, the midnight snack is ready." Gu Tongwan patted the seat behind him.

Liao Yunyun got on the small tortoise car and was surprised and happy: "She is worthy of being my good sister who I have known for more than 20 years. She knows my heart very well."

They returned to their residence in less than twenty minutes. It was 9:30 in the evening. When they got back, Yan Fan had already heated up the braised beef tendon, cumin potatoes, and hand-pulled pancakes, and was waiting for them to come back to eat.

Liao Yunyun borrowed a set of pajamas and went upstairs to wash up. It took her less than fifteen minutes to take a shower and rinse her hair. Then she hurried downstairs and sat in the living room to eat. It seemed that she was really hungry, after all, she only ate a few dry bread when she came out.

Liao Yunyun had almost finished eating when she mentioned to Gu Tongwan about the discovery of the demon species in the dungeon.

"How come there are so many demons living in the underground city? If all of them escape, will our base still be safe?"

At this point, the braised beef in Liao Yunyun's mouth no longer smelled good. Especially the ugly and terrifying appearance of the demon species was like a nail in her mind, and the horrific scene of severed limbs...

Shivering violently, the fear in Liao Yunyun's eyes was as thick as the black fog that could not be dispelled in the middle of the night.

While Liao Yunyun was still immersed in the fear of the demon, a cup of steaming tea was pushed in front of her.

"Dandelion tea. I added some rock sugar to it. It should taste good. I'll be able to sleep well tonight after drinking it."

Dandelions have a calming effect. Gu Tongwan had picked them in the mountains behind Xiaoxi Village. She found that there were a lot of dandelions at the time, but it was a little troublesome to pick them. Once the force of picking was too great, the dandelions would easily scatter, or they could not be picked normally when the wind was strong. However, even so, she was in the mountains almost every day at that time, and she had more than ten kilograms of dandelions with roots after drying in the space. Now this thing is basically difficult to buy, and even if it is available, the price is expensive. After all, rare things are valuable.

"It smells good. Can I buy it? I'll give you money, so give me some. Otherwise, I'm worried that I won't be able to sleep for the next few days." Liao Yunyun took a sip and found the taste acceptable. In addition, with the addition of rock sugar, it tasted sweet.

"Drink a little first, so you don't have nightmares at night. I have some at home, picked in the mountains just before the apocalypse. I'll pack some for you later, but don't ask for money." Gu Tongwan picked up the melon seeds on the table and cracked them. The melon seeds were given by the boss lady before. They were mutant seeds. They didn't taste good when cracked, but they were edible after adding salt and frying. It's okay to crack them for fun when you're free.

"A demon has the power to fight against an A-level mutant alone. If a large number of demons really appear in the dungeon, if the base does not take it seriously, it will sooner or later become the biggest threat to the entire base. At that time, the most dangerous place will not be the various mutant beasts outside the base, but the base dungeon."

Yan Fan was playing with the dagger he had just bought between his fingers. His wrist was extremely flexible and he could easily flip the entire dagger from the palm of his hand to the back of his hand. In the process, the blade of the dagger never touched his skin.

Liao Yunyun finally swallowed the last bite of braised beef, then frowned and said, "There are about forty or fifty in total. We currently have five S-level psychics in Jiangcheng Base. There are less than forty S-level psychics registered in the whole of China. Even if you add those who are not registered, there will not be more than a hundred. Previously, five demons appeared in Dongling and it was speculated that they were from the same tribe. At that time, it was reported that two S-level psychics were sent to hunt them, but in fact, I remember that they were only repelled. The demons of one tribe plus the harsh winter weather were barely repelled by the two high-level psychics. If the demons in the Jiangcheng underground city surge up, how many high-level psychics will we have to dispatch in Jiangcheng? What can ordinary people do?"

"So the most direct way for the base at present is to block the area where the demon species is located. According to the results of your investigation, I found that the demon species seem to like cold places. And those strange pink ores you mentioned, could they be a source of energy needed by the demon species?" Gu Tongwan remembered one thing. He had seen similar stones in the area where mutants or mutant beasts were discovered on the back mountain of Xiaoxi Village. Because he was sure that they were not mutant animal crystal cores at that time, he did not pay too much attention to these stones. Now he thinks those things may be the main reason that attracts mutant beasts to the back mountain.

"The underground city is still being opened gradually. If it is temporarily closed, it will attract attention and panic from the outside world. But I hope the higher-ups can pay more attention to it. I also broadcast live to Chen Yanxi at that time. I wonder what he thinks."

Gu Tongwan raised an eyebrow: "In addition to me, you also enabled the live broadcast function for Chen Yanxi?"

"Ahem, you are all my good friends, so we should treat you all equally. Besides, Chen Yanxi has rich combat experience. If he is willing to put pressure on the top management of the base, I think it will attract their attention to some extent."

"No wonder you made back your investment just half a year after starting your business. You are smarter than me. In that case, I have something I want to discuss with you. Can you give me some advice?" Gu Tongwan said jokingly.

"Give advice? What's the matter? What kind of business do you want to start? Last time, someone coveted your short-term rental shop selling air conditioners. Wouldn't it be too conspicuous for you to open a shop by yourself?" Although she knew her friend's ability, Liao Yunyun was worried about much more than that. A single and beautiful woman in the end times is easy to be coveted by others, not to mention that she has a lot of supplies in her hands. Isn't it obvious that people will be jealous?

Seeing his friend's worried look, Gu Tongwan pointed at Yan Fan and said, "Now I have a capable assistant by my side, so safety should be no problem. Besides, I plan to bring Aoao and Tutu with me to look after the store."

Liao Yunyun glanced at Yan Fan. She heard that this young man had broken through his ability level some time ago and became a C-level ice-type ability user. In addition to the two dogs with extremely strong attack power, her best friend herself has firepower, so it might not be easy for her to take advantage of her.

Furthermore, she has a big shot like Chen Yanxi by her side. Chen Yanxi indulges and dotes on her, as if she has nothing to fear.

After sighing, Liao Yunyun asked, "So what kind of store are you planning to open?"

"A fruit and vegetable store. I have a supply channel for this, and I also plan to grow some simple vegetables in the yard in the near future."

"Supply channels?" Liao Yunyun narrowed her eyes. You know, the fruits and vegetables in the base have always been monopolized by the supply and marketing cooperatives and trading centers. Where would she get the supply channels?

"Trade secret." Gu Tongwan just smiled and said nothing, not intending to reveal everything.

"Okay, wait for me tomorrow afternoon. I'll go with you to look at the shops. I have some experience in this area."

After this matter is temporarily finalized, the next thing to do is to prepare the supply of goods. Not only that, but also to investigate the market. All in all, she can foresee that she will not have an easy time in the next two weeks.
