Jiang Yan and Ye Qing, after completing their inspection under the watchful eyes of armed soldiers and mutant police dogs, followed Zhao Zhichao and boarded the train once again.
This train was drastically different from the one that had departed from Yaoben Base earlier; it had far fewer carriages, and they were painted in dark green and black, somewhat resembling those tourist mini-trains found in parks before the apocalypse.
The only difference was that they were wider, and sealed all around, obscuring the view outside.
“Click-clack, click-clack,” the train started moving.
Unable to see their surroundings, the passengers could only sense the train’s forward motion through the jostling beneath their feet.
Sun Jingtao rummaged through his backpack, pulled out a bottle of water, and handed it to Zhao Yougong, politely asking,
“Captain Zhao, could you please tell us if there’s anything we should be aware of once we reach our base?”

“There’s nothing,” Zhao Yougong replied with a smile, taking the water bottle before adding, “Miss Jiang, you should have specific arrangements made for you upon arrival, and yours should be similar. Once we arrive, rest up, gather your strength, and wait for orders.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yan and Su Dai exchanged glances and decided not to ask further questions.
The remaining time was spent in idle chatter about various topics.
It was then that Jiang Yan discovered that although East Mountain used to be Su Dai’s hometown, the surface had been devastated beyond recognition.
Their homeland once boasted beautiful azure seas.
But now, all were gone.
Covered under a thick blanket of snow and ice.
But whose hometown wasn’t like that…
Twenty minutes is neither long nor short.
Without much else to say, the train came to a stop; they had arrived.
“Miss Jiang, please,” Zhao Zhichao was the first to disembark the train.
Ye Qing and the others followed closely behind.
Stepping off the train, Jiang Yan was slightly stunned for a second.
It was still the appearance of a train platform, but there were more soldiers armed with guns.
Above their heads, the dome featured an unending vista of blue skies and white clouds.
Although it was an artificial scene, it was pleasant to behold, very much like the underground shopping mall of a certain city before the apocalypse.
Jiang Yan looked up, staring for a while.
“Miss Jiang?” Zhao Zhichao softly called out in a low voice, “Shall we go to where we’ll be staying?”
Jiang Yan snapped back to the present, “Sorry, Captain Zhao.”
The others also gathered their thoughts.
Having spent too long in the Underground City without seeing daylight, the image of the blue skies and white clouds excited them a great deal.
But what mattered more now was to find proper accommodations.
After passing through five security checkpoints, they arrived at a considerably open area.
The space was surrounded by densely packed Hive-like residences.
The center was left open.
And directly above, the dome was also adorned with the image of blue skies and white clouds.
“Miss Jiang, this is Residential Area Y. I’ll take you to Area A.”
It was obvious from A-Z that the ranking of this residential area was not high.
Jiang Yan nodded, “All right, thank you for your effort, Captain Zhao.”
“You’re welcome,” Zhao said, then stepped forward to lead the way.
Su Dai and the others looked puzzled, both curious over Jiang Yan’s preferential treatment and about the base itself.
They walked slowly as the clear sounds of reading came from one of the Hive rooms.
Their gaze followed the sound and stopped at a brightly lit room.
Su Dai, looking astonished, stepped forward and tugged Jiang Yan’s sleeve,
“Jiang Yan, doesn’t that pregnant woman look like Wen Wanli?”
Jiang Yan’s brow furrowed.
Wen Wanli?
Was she the tragic woman from the Shallow Bay District in Anming City, with arms covered in burn scars, violated and inexplicably pregnant?
