Wuji Base.

As soon as the sun rose, many people in the base opened their eyes and began a busy new day.

In the living room of the Wuji team's base, Bai Hu and others who had gotten up early were working out or training their respective special abilities while sweating profusely.

Everyone is racing against time, eager to improve their strength immediately, even Li Tianzuo and Li Tianyou are no exception.

Yesterday’s dangerous experience made the brother and sister feel a strong sense of crisis, and at the same time they were extremely inferior. They finally got to go out, but they ended up being a drag!

This is absolutely intolerable!

So after coming back, the brother and sister started practicing throwing knives.

They haven't awakened any special powers, their physical fitness is average, they lack strength and speed, so they can only practice skills.

Not far away, Bai Ling was holding a drawing board, worrying about the design of the banknotes. She had been busy with this since last night, but she had come up with several designs, but she was not satisfied with any of them.

At this moment, she was biting the paintbrush and thinking hard. Gradually, her concentration began to wander, and her eyes shifted from the white drawing paper to Lan Ke's closed bedroom door.

From a distance, you can see that there is a piece of paper stuck on the bedroom door with words written on it, but it's too far to see clearly.

However, Bai Ling knew what was written on it. She saw it when she passed by there last night. There were seven words written in a flamboyant style on it - In retreat, please do not disturb.

Bai Ling couldn't help but frown in distress. Last night, she heard Lan Ke say that she wanted to practice in seclusion, but she didn't say how long she would practice.

Now that she couldn't see Lan Ke, she suddenly missed her.

It would be great if Lan Ke was here, she would definitely be able to give her a lot of advice and inspiration. I don't know how long Lan Ke will be able to come out of this retreat.

Sighing heavily, Bai Ling picked up the paintbrush and continued to ponder.

On the other side, Pang Dahai was also holding a notebook and writing quickly.

He was writing a plan for the base construction. Although he had summarized a complete set of plans yesterday, that set of plans was not perfect. He thought about it last night and came up with some new ideas. Now he wrote them down and thought about the feasibility of these plans.

In the room, Mo Ying was piling up a pile of gun parts in front of her, and she was neatly putting them together. These parts were made by her last night, and they were all made to imitate the parts of a submachine gun, so they could be considered replicas.

However, whether these parts are useful or not can only be known after they are assembled and tried out.

In another room, Zheng Yue was faced with a pile of unpacked medicines and tools. Many of the pills had been crushed into powder, which, under Zheng Yue's mixing, gradually turned into a transparent, viscous liquid.

She then poured the liquid into a glass bottle and carefully sealed it.

Seeing that the mouth of the bottle had been sealed, she let out a long breath and whispered to herself, "Finally it worked! I never thought that poison abilities would be so useful. However, I still have to find a chance to try out the effect."

After saying that, she moved quickly again and made 20 antidotes.

At the same time, people were busy in the kitchen. Wu Meng and Fang Nan had not awakened their special powers, so they simply took on the task of cooking to earn their daily food.

They are now official members of the team and can eat the same food as everyone else, instead of having to eat at separate tables like they did in the beginning.

Li Tianzuo and Li Tianyou would sometimes help out, doing some of the washing of vegetables and dishes to the best of their ability.

In short, everyone was busy, and no one was lazy except Fang Xiaoyu who was too young.

Because the base has already been built, everyone is full of enthusiasm and expectations for the future, dreaming of turning this place into a paradise in the end times.

No one knew that a crisis was approaching them.

After breakfast, Bai Hu and others did not go to rescue the survivors, but stayed in the base and called the survivors in the base for a meeting.

They did this not at Lan Ke's request, but at Pang Dahai's idea.

His reason was simple: he did this to win over the survivors in the base.

Many of the original survivors in the base were already dissatisfied with the Wuji team, and even if they were temporarily suppressed by force, they would still be dissatisfied. Yesterday, Bai Hu rescued hundreds of survivors, bringing the number of survivors in the base to more than a thousand!

It is not easy to control so many people. If we continue to go out to rescue people today, there will be more and more survivors in the base, and it will be even more difficult to control them!

No matter they are the original people or the newcomers, they all have their own little thoughts in their minds. The size of their Wuji team is still too small to control so many people. Instead of taking in too many survivors in a short period of time, it is better to proceed step by step, first conquer some people, expand the size of the team, and then continue the rescue.

Bai Hu was not good at management, but he knew that it was difficult to manage too many people, so when Pang Dahai mentioned it, he agreed. Anyway, they were busy rescuing people yesterday and were exhausted, so it would be good to take a break.

So after breakfast, Pang Dahai called a meeting of the survivors. He also specially prepared some tests for the survivors to take part in, and those who passed could become reserve members of the Wuji team.

However, the probation period he gave to these reserve players was much longer. The three-day probation period originally set by Lan Ke was changed to 10 days.

While they were having the meeting, Luo Luo and others who were lying in ambush outside the base became a little anxious.

After breakfast, they went out and secretly lay in ambush not far from the gate of the base, intending to take action after Bai Hu and the others left. However, after waiting for almost half an hour, the big iron gate of the Wuji base was still closed, with no sign of opening at all!

Gradually, some people began to get impatient.

"What's going on? Why haven't they come out yet? Aren't they going out today?"

"Then what should we do? Should we still take action?"

"Of course we have to do it. We can't make this trip in vain, right?"

"Those people are very powerful!"

"Tsk, they are just a few people with special abilities, what's there to be afraid of? Are they more powerful than Sister Luo?"

"Isn't that Lan Ke very powerful?"

"That's not as good as Sister Luo's!"

The discussion was fruitless and they almost started arguing. Finally, Yi Ai couldn't stand it anymore and turned to ask Luo Luo who was silent beside her: "Sister Luo, what do you think we should do?"

Luo Luo threw the cigarette in his hand and crushed it with the tip of his shoe: "What are you talking about? No more waiting, do it now!"

Yi Ai was a little worried: "But they have submachine guns..." Moreover, the woman named Lan Ke really made him afraid!

"Do you think I'm afraid of guns?" Luo Luo gave him a cold look and walked out first, "If you're a man, follow me!"

The rest of the people looked at each other, and no one was willing to admit that they were not men, so they had to follow quickly.
