Apocalypse: The Supporting Actress Made a Comeback-Chapter 800 - 424 New Discoveries_2
Chapter 800: 424 New Discoveries_2
After leaving the Market Base, the three of them hunted some zombies nearby, indirectly giving the Market Base a helping hand. The Market doesn’t lack farmland, but those farmlands aren’t very close to the Market Base. Now, the Market Base is overpopulated, and to ensure a good living for everyone, they have to find ways to establish more bases nearby to relocate a portion of the population.
However, with too many zombies around and especially after Qiu Yiming led over ten thousand superpower users away, the base lost a significant amount of manpower, almost pushing them to the brink of despair. Now that Fang Yuxin and the other two have cleared out some zombies nearby, as long the higher-ups of the Market Base use their brains, building some small bases nearby would surely solve the overpopulation and food shortage issues.
But, these problems are for General Song and the others to worry about. After Fang Yuxin and the other two did what they had to do, they continued to head south at a leisurely pace. They found that Qiu Yiming went to the Beishi Base with the assumption that something was wrong at the Market Base and rushed over. Now that the issue was resolved, the three no longer hurried their journey and instead hunted zombies, collecting quite a few Elemental Stones along the way.
By now, many bases are aware of the existence of Elemental Stones and the use of Elemental Crystals, but communication between bases is still cut off, so not all survivors nationwide are aware. So, as Fang Yuxin and the other two traveled, they occasionally found some overlooked resources.
They continued to hunt zombies, resting and meditating in the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion when tired, feasting heartily, or challenging the trial land. Without realizing it, a month passed, and their mindsets gradually changed through the continuous honing.
The time had reached December, but since they were in the south, the weather wasn’t cold at all, almost feeling like warm spring, starkly different from the Long Province. Along the way, they also received several paper crane messages from Fang Jintang and Qu Qianhe. Long Province was getting colder, and to ensure the base populace safely passed the winter, Bai Zhengyi had already dispatched the Hope Team to procure coal mines elsewhere.
Due to adequate preparations and with coal mines not yet being as scarce a resource as food, things proceeded smoothly. With these coal mines, base conditions improved; not only could they be used for heating, but also for cooking, so they didn’t have to resort to eating only compressed biscuits or other simple foods daily.
Moreover, the "Evil Demon" or high-level zombies that could disguise themselves as humans, which Fang Yuxin and the others were worried about, hadn’t appeared yet, bringing a sigh of relief to the three of them.
With the Hope Base being safe, the three of them have no worries at the back of their minds and decided to continue their training outside. The southern climate is warm, and zombies are more active than in other areas, frequently causing zombie group attacks on bases.
The situation here is far more severe than in the Long Province. Fang Yuxin and the other two recently stepped into the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and their Spiritual Sense became sharper, especially Fang Yuxin, with her Pure Wood Spirit Body, was more sensitive to the energies between heaven and earth than Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang. After arriving in the south, she realized that the negative energies here were denser than in the north. Precisely, the more zombies and the worse off the survivors, the denser the negative energies.
Before crossing the threshold of the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, this was just a vague feeling, not very strong. But upon successfully advancing to the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, she felt that the entire world appeared vastly different in her eyes.
Things that were not noticeable or unnoticed before became particularly clear now. Everywhere was filled with strong negative energies, and if they didn’t find a way to dispel it, this world would eventually be doomed!
Because of this discovery, the joy from their successful advancement turned heavy. Fang Yuxin said, "We should try to kill as many zombies as possible. I have a feeling that delaying things would lead to big problems."
Bai Ye and Fang Yuyang both nodded, although their perception wasn’t as sharp as Fang Yuxin’s, the pervasive negative energies also made them uncomfortable. When a person dies abruptly, resentment naturally arises. In the apocalypse, nearly two-thirds of the population turned into zombies immediately, and of those remaining, over half died or were injured due to zombies, leaving barely ten percent surviving.
So many died unjustly or violently, naturally leading to stronger and greater negative energies. Fortunately, no evil spirits or similar entities existed, or else the survivors’ situation would be worse.
After making their decision, they actively sought out zombie groups to eliminate. The three stuck together, not blending into any base or joining any Corpse Hunting Team, targeting the most dangerous areas with the most zombie groups, and rarely encountering other Corpse Hunters.
At the Beishi Base, Qiu Yiming used some tactics and finally fulfilled his wish to become the squad leader of the White Wolf Mercenary Corps. Bai Zhengyi was convicted with solid evidence and under Zhao Qiankun’s continuous pressure was ultimately sentenced to immediate execution.
Due to Bai Zhengyi’s involvement, the White Wolf Mercenary Corps suffered a blow to its reputation. After becoming squad leader, Qiu Yiming changed its name to Thunder. Meanwhile, Shen Xi and Fang Mengyao began to show prominence in the base, joining the Qiankun Mercenary Group. (To be continued.
