She looked outside and whispered, “In fact, those girls in the base are in danger. We can’t help them, but can we give them a wake-up call?” She hurriedly explained without waiting for them to speak, “I know I can’t go back. What I mean is leave some words on the roadside wall or somewhere. Whoever sees it from the base can take it as a blessing or a curse. What do you think?”

Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng both looked at Chu Xiang. Chu Xiang observed the surrounding situation and said, “The gunfire has already attracted zombies. Let’s go to a safe place first. If there is a chance, of course we can.”

Xiao Ai smiled happily. “Thank you, Sister Xiang.”

They were now enemies to that small base, and it was impossible for them to return. Chu Xiang found a safe place to park, and the four of them rested in the car overnight. Once dawn broke, Xiao Cheng took Xiao Ai out to write a warning, briefly explaining that Peng Peng was going to send the women from the small base to the Dawn Base, so they must be careful.

The two wrote in several places. There were also women who would go out of the small base to look for supplies, so it was impossible for them not to see it. After that, the four chose a road to continue their journey. They didn’t know where there were still people or where danger lurked the most. They just chose a wider and easier road to follow. Besides, it was best to have a chance to collect supplies.

Food was a problem in an apocalypse. Those supplies in the supermarket have a shelf life, and then the non-perishable goods could only be preserved for a few months. Thus, they were now starting to find rice and white flour. If these were well-preserved, the could last a little longer. Chu Xiang also thought about this matter. She was able to run around and play, but it was very uncomfortable to starve. This made it necessary to find a large well-established base because it would provide them land to cultivate.

On the road, they encountered other squads several times, some desperate, some actively looking for a base, and some just surviving day by day mechanically. During this period, they absorbed all the advanced crystal cores they got from Peng Peng, and insisted on cultivating every day. In no time, their strength advanced manifolds. Even Xiao Ai got used to shooting. Her marksmanship was getting more and more accurate, and she has also learned to use a samurai sword.

They have also passed by several small cottages. There were few people in them, just a group gathered together in a struggle to live. It was actually  difficult and demanding to have a big base in an apocalypse, because you got to be strong enough for battle. However, people with strong combat power were the most difficult to manage. They were all risking their lives to fight, so why should they listen to others’ command?

If the base was not safe enough, accidents could happen at any time. There was no telling how many small groups have been exterminated because of this.

The four continued on their way in this manner, always with their team of four. They never met anyone who could make them appreciate their invitation to join the team. Three months later, they saw the signboards of Dawn Base and Hope Base on the road, pointing to two roads at a fork in the road.

Chu Xiang stopped the car and opened the map to check them out. “If we want to continue traveling, we must choose one of these two roads. Shall we pass by the base for a look? Which way do you want to go?”

Xiao Cheng said immediately, “Go to Dawn! Let’s see where Dawn is and how dark it is.”

Xiao Ai elbowed him. “What are you going to do in that kind of place? We have long known that Dawn’s managers are despicable beings, and we’re going to miss the Hope Base if we continue that way. I think we should go to the Hope Base. If it is good, we can stay and rest for a few days and exchange something with them. What do you think, Sister Xiang?”

“I think so too.” Chu Xiang nodded. “At least we have a preliminary understanding of Dawn. I haven’t heard of Hope yet, so we might as well go and have a look.”

Xiao Jin stretched and smiled. “Let’s go then. I’ll drive, Xiang Xiang, rest for a while.”

Chu Xiang and Xiao Jin changed positions, and they set off again, choosing the side that was bound for the Hope Base. There were signs along the way, and judging from the clean and beautiful signs, their base seemed to be faring just fine. Traveling forward, there were farmlands on both sides of the road, surrounded by earth walls to prevent zombies from trampling and raiding. There were even people working in the fields, and they all stood up and looked around when they heard the car sound.

Chu Xiang paid attention to their condition. Although they were all thin, their eyes were clear and vigilant, and their mental state was satisfactory. This showed that they have neither in a pipe dream nor suffering pain and despair. Instead, they were living a very active life and possessed a fighting spirit. To be driven in this state showed that the base managers have done a very good job, very promising.

Xiao Jin parked the car outside the gate of the base. The entire base wall was surrounded by erected cement boards, five meters high. The gate was made of steel and tightly closed. The five people patrolling the city wall saw them and stood at attention, and the man in the middle shouted, “The people in the car, please get off! Who are you? What business do you have with the base?”

Chu Xiang and the others got out of the car one after another, spreading out their hands to show they meant no harm. Xiao Jin shouted back, “We saw the sign of your base when we were passing by, and wanted to stay here for a few days.”

Xiao Cheng glanced at Xiao Ai, lowered his head and thought for two seconds, and said to the man with no expression: “If the base is good, someone among us wants to stay.”

Xiao Ai turned to look at him in astonishment. “What do you mean? Who wants to stay? Me?”

“Don’t you like tranquility?” Xiao Cheng replied. Xiao Ai kicked him hard.

The man looked at them and said, “Hope Base welcomes you, but to ensure everyone’s safety, some checks need to be done. Please wait.”
