Inside the Thunder Base, someone actually shouted that Doctor You Hen was murdered.
This surprised the members of the Mingyue Team. Everyone left their private rooms to see what was happening.
The troublemaker was a man in his forties, with a scruffy beard, wearing a dirty white lab coat.
He was shouting emotionally. He looked like an ordinary person, without any special abilities.
The incident started when he was queuing for wheat cakes. However, by the time it was his turn, the window had closed.
The person distributing food said that the wheat cakes for the day were finished and he should come back tomorrow.
This one wheat cake was an ordinary person's food for the day. If he didn't get it today, he would have to go hungry. The man immediately exploded and started shouting.
"Doctor Chang, calm down. Bring him two steamed buns."
Wo Yucheng clearly knew the troublemaker and rushed over, grabbed him, and then asked someone to bring two steamed buns, shoving them into his hands and appeasing him.
Doctor Chang stared intently at Wo Yucheng, took the steamed buns, sighed, and left the cafeteria.
Seeing Doctor Chang cause trouble and get two white flour steamed buns, other people who hadn't received wheat cakes started to follow suit, and began to shout.
But with a wave of Wo Yucheng's hand, dozens of ability users appeared and herded them out like livestock.
Some who resisted were even beaten.
Bu Zhi and Gong Que, being straightforward and hot-tempered, wanted to step forward to uphold justice when they saw people being bullied. However, Ji Shiyou and Wen Qingtian each grabbed one of them and pulled them back into the private room.
"I'm sorry, there's not enough to go around. This kind of thing happens every day. Have you all finished eating? If so, I'll lead you to the resting area."
After dealing with the situation outside, Wo Yucheng returned to the private room and saw everyone sitting there.
The food on the table was gone, and he assumed they had all eaten their fill. He then led them to the resting area.
In reality, the Mingyue Team didn't care for the food on the table.
However, seeing that ordinary people only got one wheat cake a day, and adhering to the principle of not wasting, Mingyue collected the food into her space. She thought she could give it to those ordinary people when the opportunity arose.
"Brother Wo, are you very familiar with that Doctor Chang? You treated him differently from others?"
On the way to the rooms, Ji Shiyou started making small talk again. In fact, he was quite curious about Doctor Chang.
According to Wo Yucheng's logic, he shouldn't have treated an ordinary person so leniently.
"Alas, Doctor Chang can be considered the second-in-command of this base. He is also a scientist, Doctor You Hen's partner.
This experimental base was built by him and Doctor You Hen together. However, times have changed.
Now it's the apocalypse, and he doesn't have any special abilities. The laboratory has become the Thunder Base, and he has no say.
I received a favor from him in the past, so I'll take care of him as much as I can.
Rooms are scarce in the base. Please bear with us for a bit. This was originally Doctor You's room, and it has the highest specifications.
The boss also specifically instructed this. Although there are only three rooms, people can sleep on the sofa in the living room. Please make do with it."
When mentioning Doctor Chang, Wo Yucheng spoke more.
After saying this, he apologized and immediately took his leave.
Hearing that their rooms were Doctor You Hen's, Shi Henian became excited and began to look around, trying to find some notes left by Doctor You.
However, he was disappointed. It was a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment, with two bedrooms, a study, and a living room.
He searched every room, but didn't find a single piece of paper.
The bookshelf was empty, and only a keyboard was left on the desk, indicating that the computer had been moved.
"Stop looking. Everything in this room must have been moved.
Come here, let's go into the space. I have something to say."
Mingyue also walked around and then called everyone together, leading them into her space.
Mingyue chose to speak in her space because she feared someone outside might be eavesdropping. However, being from the ancient Wu clan, she was unaware that in this world, there was something called surveillance.
Ji Shiyou and the others, though modern people, after the apocalypse began...
With no internet and no electricity, they didn't pay much attention to these things.
They overlooked that the Thunder Base had electricity, especially in places like laboratories.
Security requirements were very high. How could Doctor You Hen's room not have surveillance?
"My guess was right. There really is a space, and living beings can enter it. Its level must not be low.
I'm certain they grow their fruits and vegetables in the space.
This time, we've hit the jackpot. Besides the Water of Life, if we can snatch this space,
then the Thunder Base will be invincible in the apocalypse. What are the Azure Dragon Base and White Tiger Base? They're nothing."
Behind the door of the work area was the deepest part of the Thunder Base, which was originally Doctor You Hen's private laboratory.
Gao Chu was there at the moment, staring at the surveillance screen. Seeing Mingyue and the others disappear from the room, he exclaimed in surprise.
In Jiangcheng, he had seen the food of Mingyue and her group. From the fresh fruits and vegetables, he had already deduced that
Mingyue and her group had a space where they could grow crops. He just didn't know who the owner of the space was.
Such a space was extremely rare.
In the apocalypse, every base would try to recruit them and treat them like ancestors.
If a base had such a space, it would surely dominate the apocalypse.
However, he was even more greedy and didn't want to recruit them; he only wanted to possess it.
"Stop dreaming. The Thunder Base is too small to amount to anything.
The most powerful base in the future will be the Cloud City Base. Trust me on this.
However, although you didn't find the Water of Life this time, bringing them back is considered lucky.
Then we'll snatch their Water of Life and space, and then kill them. We'll settle old scores.
But that man named Shi Henian must be kept alive. I have a use for him."
A charming female voice sounded from behind Gao Chu. Looking at Mingyue and the others disappearing on the screen, she spoke with hatred.
If Mingyue and her group were present, they would immediately take action, because the speaker was their sworn enemy, Qing Ying.
Why was she at the Thunder Base? This had to be traced back to when she forced Shi Henian out of the Vermilion Bird Base.
Originally, she thought that under her coercion, Shi Henian would surely submit to her.
Who knew that Shi Henian would pull off a trick and escape from the Vermilion Bird Base.
Upon learning of Shi Henian's escape, an enraged Qing Ying smashed everything he left behind.
According to her memories from her past life, calculating the time, the Vermilion Bird Base would soon face a zombie tide and be destroyed.
So Qing Ying slipped away. She didn't want to waste her efforts.
Defending a city and fighting for irrelevant people, and even before leaving, she had taken all the supplies stored in the Vermilion Bird Base with her space.
There was no other way. Although her space contained immortal artifacts, it had no land.
She couldn't grow food, but she had to eat. She also planned to establish a base in the future, so more supplies were always better for her.
Her original plan was to subdue Shi Henian and then, before her past life's enemies, rush to Cloud City and occupy it.
But Shi Henian's escape had disrupted her plans. In her annoyance, Qing Ying remembered something from her past life and immediately made a decision.
