Originally, City O and City D were adjacent to each other. Before the end of the world, it only took about two hours by high-speed rail, or three to four hours by car to reach each other.
However, all means of transportation have been suspended now. After Mingyue set out from the survival base, it took her more than half a month to finally reach City D.
In addition to clearing the roads along the way, she spent more time rescuing people.
Although all the available radio broadcasts in the entire South have been repeatedly informing of the existence of the survival base and encouraging humans to move towards the survival base since the monster incident broke out.
But not everyone is willing to leave the place they are familiar with and go to an unknown living environment.
In addition, after the collapse of social order, various human crimes occurred frequently, which led to many people being unwilling to believe the content on the radio.
Especially for the local residents of City O, they all have relatives and friends who have entered the survival base, so naturally they have heard about the terrible conditions inside the survival base, so many people would rather die in their own houses than become slaves.
Originally Mingyue didn't know about this. She was on her way, so she tried her old trick and found a neighborhood to cook something to eat. As a result, she accidentally heard a woman's scream.
Then Mingyue followed the sound and saved a woman living alone at home for several months, growing bean sprouts, mushrooms and green onions on her own, from the monster's mouth.
According to this woman living alone, Mingyue learned that she learned those survival skills from people in a self-help group, and there were more than 500 people like her in that group.
This woman had used up and eaten all the edible things at home. She was really out of food and ammunition, so she mustered up the courage to go out to find something to eat. As a result, she encountered a monster, and was lucky enough to meet Mingyue.
Although all network operators have stopped operating, signal towers in some places are still intact and the network is not completely paralyzed.
It would have been fine if he didn't know about it before, but now that he knows about it, Mingyue, as the lord of the Southern Survival Base, can't just turn a blind eye to the people who are staying at home waiting to die.
So she returned to the survival base these days and let Xu Ciying and others deal with the matter.
She also asked Xu Ciying and others to search for group chats like "End of the World Self-Help Group" and "Mutual Help Group" on various platforms, and try to bring all the residents who are still alive in various regions back to the base.
After all, compared to the outside world where monsters are rampant, the survival base is indeed the safest place.
Of course Mingyue does not force people to come to the survival base. She still respects other people's independent wishes. If she has explained the base rules clearly to those people and they are still unwilling to come to the base, she will not force them.
After arranging everything, Mingyue set off again.
Unexpectedly, she met many lone residents along the way and saved many of them.
She couldn't go back to the base to save each person, so she just brought everyone with her and trained these newcomers with the method she used to train Xu Rangchen and the others, which delayed the time even longer.
By the time Mingyue and his group arrived in City D, more than half a month had passed, and this small team now consisted of about a hundred people.
At first, Mingyue did not find the mysterious organization of people with superpowers who used humans for experiments as Li Jian (the one who asked Mingyue to save people) mentioned.
The entire city of D looks similar to the city of O. Monsters walking around aimlessly can be seen everywhere, as well as buildings that are rapidly decaying after the loss of human footprints. There is an atmosphere of depression everywhere.
Thinking that since they were already here, Mingyue led everyone to sweep the residential areas in the city, clearing out monsters and searching for supplies.
After staying in the city for three days, the so-called mysterious organization came to the door. The most coincidental thing was that the leader was Xu Peng. When Xu Peng received the news and rushed over to arrest people, he was shocked at first, and then happy when he saw Mingyue.
They were surprised as to why Zhou Mingyue was here, but they were happy because City D was now the territory of their Huashen Organization. No matter how powerful Zhou Mingyue was, he could not defeat four people with two fists here and could only surrender.
"Zhou Mingyue, I didn't expect it to be you. You really are the one who doesn't take the road to heaven and insists on breaking into hell." There was a flash of cruelty in Xu Peng's eyes, and he looked down at Mingyue's reaction.
After seeing that the people following Mingyue were all strangers, he snorted coldly and said maliciously: "I thought those people chose to follow you, and there would be no good results. I didn't expect that they all died. I'm afraid that the people who follow you now don't know about this, hahaha?"
After hearing this, the people around Mingyue became restless for a moment, but as they looked at her motionless back, the tension and worry slowly disappeared.
Just like every previous battle, as long as they knew she was standing there, they seemed to have no need to be afraid, because her existence was their greatest confidence.
Mingyue's eyes swept over the psychics behind Xu Peng, and then quickly fell on Xu Peng, mainly on his exposed neck.
I saw that there were countless protruding blue-black bumps on the right side of Xu Peng's neck, densely covering the entire right side. It looked like snake scales or the back of a toad, which was very scary.
And it wasn't just Xu Peng's body. The exposed skin of the psychics following behind him all had various raised pustules to varying degrees.
Perhaps noticing the change in Mingyue's eyes, Xu Peng subconsciously tilted his neck to avoid her gaze, but his hands slowly clenched into fists.
For a long time, he was actually worried that he would turn into a monster.
Because his research on the transformation of the spirit had not reached the most perfect stage, those ugly marks were left on his neck, making him look like he was about to turn into a monster.
But it doesn’t matter. We just need to capture more people for research and these traces will disappear sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xu Peng looked at Mingyue and his group with greedy eyes.
Mingyue seemed to recognize him at this moment, and said slowly: "It turns out that not only are you fine, but you have also joined that evil organization. It seems that Li Jian was being too sentimental and asked me to save you."
When Xu Peng heard Li Jian's name suddenly, he was stunned and blurted out: "Didn't Li Jian die a long time ago?"
Mingyue did not answer but asked: "By the way, where are Tang Tianwen and He Wenxiang?"
Tang Tianwen and He Wenxiang were the two ordinary men who were arrested along with Xu Peng.
"Why are you asking so many questions? Do you think I came here today just to reminisce about the past?" Xu Peng avoided Mingyue's gaze evasively, and waved at the superpowers behind him: "Go, arrest them all."
The psychics moved, and the people behind Mingyue also moved.
We are unblocked now, and we have to go out and do some work, so we will resume updating twice a day for now!
