Doomsday Stewed Salted Fish C44.2

Hey, first of all, thanks for reading my lousy Machine Translation. To be honest, I’d really like it if you guys corrected the mistakes I made. But please speak nicely and politely. My heart is not strong enough to read your too-harsh comments. Have a nice day. 🙂

Chapter 44. (2/2)

Tomorrow is the first day of the new year.

Xinghe took out a tablet with the latest version of the Jiangnan base clearance area distribution map sent by Lu Ya before leaving the base.

The Sha City where they are now is located on the dividing line between the half-red and half-white areas.

“It has been three months since the explosion. According to the monsters we encountered when we came here, it can be seen that this part of the white area near the dividing line should be updated to orange. However, if we continue to go west, the monsters of the natives in the western area plus those that escaped from this side will have a very high density of monsters.”

In fact, in the past three months, they were basically just on the road. In the white area, they encountered very few monsters, and they were all low-level C-level monsters. Gu Fan felt that there were not enough monsters even if he wanted to practice.

Xinghe pointed to the red area and continued, “The southern part of our country is mountainous, resulting in a high density and level of monsters. The Jiangnan base was originally located on the coast, and the base has been mainly cleared of monsters for the past fifty years. The farthest city the army has ever reached is An City. The mercenaries went a little further, but as far as I know, the farthest is Sha City.”

“Next, we have two directions to go. One is to go north, cross the river through Yue City, and enter the scope of the northern base. Yue City is a transportation hub connecting the three major bases. The S-level monsters in several surrounding cities have been jointly killed by the marshals. This road is relatively safe.”

“The other way is to go west all the way to C City. C City is one of the five national central cities in the free era. There must be a lot of supplies left. There are greater risks and greater rewards. “

Fenghuo looked at the map and sighed, “There are so many S-level monsters hidden in the mountains and rivers along the way.”

Meng Lianying: “In fact, S-level monsters are lazy. We are thin-armed and thin-legged. As prey, we are not attractive enough to them. Only those S-level monsters that have been tortured by humans will smell the human scent and chase us.”

Fenghuo agreed: “That’s true.”

Xinghe looked at Gu Fan: “Which way does Fanfan want to go?”

Gu Fan said: “I can do either, you decide.”

On the map, Xinghe looked at City C: “Let’s go to City C. The reconstruction of Jiangnan Base requires a lot of supplies.”

They grew up in Jiangnan and worked for Jiangnan Base for many years. They still have some feelings for it.

When it comes to rebuilding the base, Fenghuo asked: “Such a big thing happened in Jiangnan Base, will Northwest Base and North Base provide assistance?”

As a relative of the Lu family, Meng Lianying is more familiar with the base’s military affairs. He shook his head and said: “It’s difficult. The resources of each base are very tight. They are basically self-managed. Usually, they mainly exchange scientific research results. If the two sides know there is a beast tide in Jiangnan Base, they will only actively prepare for it. They are busy collecting materials to build a second base. How can they distribute it to others?”

Xinghe: “Jiangnan Base chose An City to rebuild instead of joining the other two bases. In addition to the danger of long-distance migration, it must be because the resources of the two bases are difficult to receive more than 5 million people at once.”

In that environment, it was not easy to build each base. They were all fought for by local superpowers, and ordinary people worked hard to expand them into cities that could accommodate tens of millions of people. The sudden increase of 5 million people will cause great pressure on the receiving side, whether it is housing or food.

Once the supply of materials is insufficient, people will eat each other. Gu Fan listened to their discussion of supplies and suddenly remembered Lu Ya’s space crystal core. He even collected hoes. Lu Ya said at the time that he stored various tools that humans might need to build a new base in space to prevent the beast tide from attacking the base.

Five million people, five million mouths, farmland is indispensable, and the hoes prepared by Lu Ya will definitely come in handy.

“Go and rest, we will set off at dawn tomorrow, and the target is City C.”

—

On the fifth day after Gu Fan and the other five left the residential area, a team of 26 superpowers arrived in Sha City from another direction.

The sun was about to set, and Lu Ya led the team to set up tents in an abandoned stadium to rest.

The reconstruction of the base requires a large amount of living supplies and military supplies. After discussion, the military decided to let Lu Ya lead the team to City C, mainly collecting supplies and supplemented by monster distribution detection.

Lu Ya led the team, and the remaining 25 people came from the five major families of Lu, Sheng, He, Wang, and Li.

The Sheng family ranked second because, after the beast tide, the Sheng family had the most high-level superpowers. Another reason was that when Sheng Heqing, the head of the Sheng family, was counting his descendants, he accidentally found a thin and inconspicuous son. Because of his first wife’s tricks, he didn’t even know the existence of this son, and this son had never tested his superpower level.

So, Sheng Heqing personally tested the superpower level of his son.

The result was shocking. This nine-year-old child named Sheng An was actually an S-level strongman of both wood and fire.

The news spread and the five million people who had survived the entire Jiangnan base were excited. The base had only sacrificed two marshals and so quickly added another S-level strongman, which was like the hope given to mankind by God.

In this way, the status of the Sheng family in the base surpassed the other three families in one fell swoop, ranking second, only one head lower than the Lu family.

The tents were set up, and the five-person team of each family shared a large tent.

There was someone special. Sheng Xi, the captain of the Sheng family team, built a tent for himself and lived with his newly married wife, Lu Yao.

Lu Yao didn’t like this. She could indulge Sheng Xi in any tricks at home, but this was outside. She was the legitimate Miss Lu. How could Sheng Xi treat her like a lowly woman in front of the elite of the five major families?

Although Sheng Xi’s tent was set up, Lu Yao still sat in the big tent of the Sheng family team as if she knew nothing about what was happening outside.

Sheng Xi suddenly opened the curtain and glanced inside. In addition to his three male confidants, the rest was Lu Yao sitting with her back to him.

Sheng Xi smiled and called Lu Yao: “Come out, it’s been cleaned up for you over there.”

He spoke in a doting tone, as if Lu Yao asked to sleep alone.

A close friend said, “Captain Sheng really loves his wife.”

Sheng Xi said, “She’s still young, how can I not love her?”

After the two said that, Lu Yao had no reason to refuse.

She kept a calm look and walked out of the tent.

Not far away, Lu Ya was talking to two Lu family soldiers, and he never looked at the Sheng family.

But Lu Yao saw Lu Ya.

Thinking of the noise Sheng Xi had deliberately made on those nights before, Lu Yao felt that her face had been thrown at Lu Ya’s feet by Sheng Xi so that she could no longer raise her head in front of Lu Ya.
