Although Zhao Chenshuang didn't find much information about type A viruses, he did find a lot of information about type E viruses. She also gave this information to Lu Ning in return for her intelligence.
"You should pay attention to solving your own worries." Zhao Chenshuang said.
"...I know." Lu Ning understood what Zhao Chenshuang meant. These things she gave herself were not props for tasks, but capital for the An family.
She would eventually say goodbye to this scene. No matter how real the father's love here was and how much she missed it, she had to cut it off. Zhao Chenshuang had reminded her from the first time they met, and now it was considered a sign of affection. Lu Ning didn't know how this scene would change after advancing to the stage again. It was the end now, and after that... I'm afraid it wouldn't get better.

Capital base.
Li Xilou and Liu Huanyu walked into Camp No. 4 of the Military Region, which has now become the largest flow area for civilian superpowers. The management of the capital base is more organized and strict than the Canglonggang base that Lu Ning has been to. However, it does not completely concentrate the labor force. Instead, it has begun to tend to develop autonomous effects for superpowers. Under a series of incentives, now The superpower camp is already thriving.
Here, Li Xilou is undoubtedly a celebrity. He had no intention of hiding his superpowers, and in one fell swoop he established his position as the top powerhouse among superpowers in the capital, and quickly regained his status as before the doomsday, or even worse. As Lu Ning had judged before, Li Xilou, who had been a tourist, undoubtedly lived more comfortably in such an environment.
Now that the two of them entered the camp, most people on the road greeted him with respect, and Li Xilou also enjoyed this feeling. He and Liu Huanyu walked through the camp and entered a building guarded by guards inside.
"Mr. Li."
The person standing at the door was Meng Bin, whom Lu Ning was familiar with. His face looked a bit weathered, but he was still in good spirits. Li Xilou nodded to him. After the apocalypse, the existence of superpowers was no longer a secret. Superpower agencies belonging to the country began to appear on the stage as overt authority agencies. Some names quickly spread in the capital base. , compared to the new superpowers, these powerful and experienced talents are the real main force.
Li Xilou did not dare to underestimate them, even though most of them were weak.
"Have the captains returned?"
"Li Xiaolin and Captain Emmy are in the room. What's the matter with Mr. Li? We can help you with general matters."
"It's about superpowers. If you think you have enough knowledge, that's fine." Li Xilou said.
"In this case, I will notify the two captains. Please wait a moment." Meng Bin smiled, turned around and walked into the room.
In an empty room, Emmy placed a package on the ground. Next to her was a man with snow-white hair, looking at the package on the ground with his only eye, his expression slightly sad.
"Has it been recycled?"
"Jing Kexing's team has been completely wiped out. Before he left, he said that I might not live long. Unexpectedly, he walked ahead of us instead." Emmy said lightly, "The Red Plum Pavilion is already empty. There are people in the house." Some superpowers who have been alienated are irreversible."
After saying that, she opened the package and found some blood-stained belongings inside. These were the relics of her colleagues that she had recovered. The white-haired man, Li Xiaolin, squatted down and his fingers emitted some fluorescence, clearing the blood on the items. He let out a long sigh and said: "The members of the abnormal team have begun to go out on duty. There are not many people left in our group now. Emmy, it is time to choose a successor."
"I know."
At this time, Meng Bin knocked on the door outside and reported the arrival of Li Xilou and Liu Huanyu. Li Xiaolin rolled up the package on the ground and put it in the corner, and then ordered Meng Bin to bring the people in.
When Li Xilou entered the room, he saw the two captains and couldn't help feeling a little stressed. After he greeted the two of them, he proposed the purpose of coming here.
"Two captains, I would like to know the current form of the capital base and the formation of superpowers in the future. Most importantly, is there any way to communicate with the bases around the country. Although it is the end of the world, I still hope to be able to briefly Do your best."
"You have ability." Li Xiaolin glanced at Li Xilou, "I have heard that your ability is very rare and powerful. Generally, such people are not willing to be driven by others."
"Indeed, I don't want to be included in the establishment, but... how can the eggs be intact when the nest is overturned?" Li Xilou chuckled, "What's more, in front of all the captains, my little ability only accounts for one Unique, right? To be honest with you two, my biggest wish is that the couple can live in peace. For this reason, I will do my best to ensure the stability of the surrounding living environment. As far as I can see, although the capital base is currently peaceful on the surface, there seems to be trouble inside. There is an undercurrent, and the captains are trying to go out, which is not a good sign."
"Isn't it a good sign to go out?" Emmy narrowed her eyes, "You should have learned something else, right? Huh... There's no need to go around this circle if you don't want to say it. It doesn't matter if you tell people like you this matter. .”
Li Xiaolin nodded: "The captains set out to count the data and losses. Although the doomsday caused many losses, the losses of the superpower team were actually very large, not because of suppressing monsters and rescuing civilians, but because of the mutations themselves. The probability is extremely high.”
"What?" Li Xilou frowned.
"To put it simply, most ordinary people do not directly mutate, but awaken superpowers; instead, a large number of superpowers mutate into monsters," Emmy said.
Li Xilou understood immediately after hearing this, and asked: "So...the superpowers displayed in the base now..."
"Basically, that's all that can be brought out. The abnormal group cannot show up easily, which is why the base wants to win over you superpowers. There is no doubt that superpowers, mutations and monsters have the same characteristics. If If this is known to outsiders, it may cause panic.”
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Li Xilou asked.
"If you really want to help, we are trying to bring back the various team members who were on duty before the end, and we can give you a voucher. This is a field mission, which may not be in line with your goal of a peaceful life, how about it? "Li Xiaolin said after examining Li Xilou.
"That's great." Li Xilou laughed.

A fleet is the most common type of mobile team after the apocalypse. Zhao Xihua has such a fleet in his hands. It is composed entirely of the confidants he recruited and the refugees he gathered later. There are twelve large vehicles and nearly thirty small vehicles. Not only are there people with super powers in the team, but they are also equipped with various technical personnel. of.
The entire team of Lu Chunxiao and Ying Caiyi were absorbed into this convoy at the medical center. Zhao Xihua greatly appreciated the team that could independently fight out from the siege of monsters, and also provided careful treatment to the wounded. Her convoy even has a rare healing superpower. It only takes a day for an infection that is usually difficult to treat to be out of danger.
After following the motorcade for a few days, Ying Caiyi also got to know some people in the motorcade. Zhao Xihua has five superpowers nicknamed the "Five Tiger Generals" with extremely powerful abilities. Xiao Ronghai, the leader of these five people, was the strong man in the medical center who single-handedly killed the monster in the courtyard. His strength was not clear at all.
However, they did not underestimate other superpowers because of this. Zhao Xihua's management skills were extremely strong, and there was almost no trouble in the entire team. Even if new people were integrated, they were quickly assigned to the appropriate position and started working—— There's always a spot, as long as you're not a slob.
Ying Caiyi's own team has actually been dispersed and integrated into the fleet, and those with super powers have joined the combat team. Daily training and super power development have made their lives quite fulfilling. Those without superpowers were also assigned to positions such as logistics and firepower, and collecting, cooking, and camping were enough to keep them busy for a whole day.
Even Ying Caiyi herself became the leader of a five-person combat team. After having a little free time today, she suddenly felt that it had been a long time since the doomsday despair lingered in her heart.
"Team leader Ying, I have a mission." A messenger came over from the direction of the cart and gently cupped Ying Caiyi's hand.
"Brother Wang, what's the mission?" Ying Caiyi greeted his team members, and everyone stood up.
"The previous investigators brought back news about the surrounding area and found that there is a city wall about sixty kilometers ahead and there are people moving at the door. I hope you can go over there first to check and bring back some news. Our convoy does not need to enter the city, but If there are any useful materials, we can still exchange them. Team Leader Ying is a thoughtful person, and you are the most suitable person for this task."
"Sixty kilometers... not bad. Give me the map of the monsters on the road. I will take two people this time and set off immediately." Ying Caiyi nodded, turned around and glanced: "Cheng Lang, Xue Chengshen, you two and I'll go take a look together. It should be easier if it's a regular base."
The two people named immediately got up, Ying Caiyi went to get the map, and the three of them set off immediately.
"Team leader, Canglonggang... I've been to this place once before. It's quite desolate. Why build a base here?" asked Cheng Lang who was driving.
"The terrain is good. This place is desolate because it is not surrounded by water sources, lacks transportation arteries, and has no development foundation. But there is an industrial foundation here, and there are many light industrial plants, which can easily start production. The small number of people means the number of monsters is low, and opening up a base It’s easier. The most important thing is that there are ancient city walls in Canglonggang, which are relatively well preserved. When defense measures need to be established as soon as possible, these ancient city walls are a natural advantage.”
"...Team leader, have you been here before?" Cheng Lang asked.
"No, the information I just read, Miss Zhao provided a map library before the end of the world. You can go and take a look." Ying Caiyi raised her head, "Don't tell me that you haven't done any research at all."
"This...that one I usually work as a navigator..." Cheng Lang smiled awkwardly.
Xue Chengshen also scratched his head: "Isn't there just some introduction and electronic map like some travel brochures?"
"Refining useful information, you two..." Ying Caiyi shook her head helplessly.
After the car drove for a while, Ying Caiyi saw the only monster area that needed to be passed on the road - the reconnaissance team could go around it on foot, but vehicles could not. There are some semi-gray spheres floating on the road. Each sphere has vertical pupils of several beasts and tentacles with sharp blades extending out.
"Derived type, look around to see if the main individual is nearby." Ying Caiyi immediately cheered up and reached out to gently open the zipper of the backpack.
"Team leader! The surrounding field of vision is wide, and no subject has been found!"
"Okay, Xue Chengshen, unfold the lock." Ying Caiyi's eyes focused. The black powder coming out of the backpack had flowed onto her fingers, and began to coil and change, gradually changing from black to bright crystals.
Xue Chengshen had already raised his hand, and a strange energy flow spread out from his hand, covering all the floating monsters in his field of vision. He named his superpower "Psychic Expansion", which is a strange auxiliary superpower that has no lethality in itself, but can extend the scope of other things. Not only can his sword hit enemies dozens of meters away, it can also extend the scope of some superpowers that can only be used at close range.
Ying Caiyi's carbon control originally couldn't be too far away from herself, but now with Xue Chengshen, she can launch an attack on these monsters on the road - crystal condensation - while sitting in the car.
By changing the connections between carbon atoms and compressing carbon into diamond, when a fixed conversion formula is researched, Ying Caiyi can launch the attack without spending too much money. He only needs to prepare a pre-set on his finger. The "introduction" of the calculation can complete the entire attack on the target selected by Xue Chengshen.
She picked up her fingers and cut off the carbon filaments induced from the backpack. Then crystallized spikes suddenly emerged from the bodies of the monsters in the air. They were rough but sharp, piercing all the monsters' eyeballs from the inside. All the lifeless monsters also fell to the ground.
"Stop the car and collect two specimens. I'll clean the road and be careful." Ying Caiyi scattered the diamonds on her fingers back to their original carbon form and then ordered.
At this time, Lu Ning was preparing to leave the Canglonggang base. She was quite satisfied with the results of the inspection. At least Zhang Enhua was indeed a capable leader. If nothing unexpected happened to him, this base would definitely be able to develop under a near-military management state. Placing her father and others here also allowed her to Peace of mind.
She is also familiar with the people from the Surveying and Mapping Department and the gate guard team. Next time she comes over, she just needs to scan her face. Of course, in order to prevent any accidents, the Minister of Surveying and Mapping also issued her a pass. When people come, they can just find him. Can. As an important department under Zhang Enhua, he also has some power in his hands.
