Apocalypse Arrival - Chapter 53

Chu Qianxun knew that with the degradation of traditional industries, some teams specializing in using demons’ bodies to develop weapons and armors would gradually appear, and a very popular industry chain would gradually form in the future.

In the later stages, in addition to the high-level demons, which were worth a lot of money, some special parts of their bodies were also very popular.

Therefore, even though the high-level demons were very powerful and terrifying, there were still a steady stream of hunters fighting with their lives on line to hunt demons.

“Is this a refuge?”

“This is the base. Chen Wei said that this is Goose City’s base. There are many survivors.”

Several people in the truck were talking with excitement.

Since they left Huacheng, the people along the way had gradually become scarce. In the desolate and dilapidated scenery, terrifying corpses and hideous demons often appeared along the way.

They felt that they were far away from the human world and were only accompanied by demons.

Human beings were social creatures. After being out of the society for a while, when they suddenly saw so many of the same kind, they felt intimacy.

A high fence appeared in front of the road. It was originally a newly built industrial park.

Because the original design had a somewhat nondescript European style, a large wall was built around the park.

After the apocalypse, such a sparsely populated area with tall walls had become the refuge of choice for many people.

Gradually, people gathered in the park and it became a rudimentary living base.

Looking from a distance at this time, the semi-decorative wall had been scaffolded, and many people were busy raising and strengthening this defensive wall.

Trenches were dug at the gate of the base, and many heavily armed people were guarding it. They were registering people entering and leaving the base.

Although it was completely incomparable with those magnificent large bases in the late apocalypse, at the beginning of the apocalypse, this was already a rare place to live in.

“Are there many great people in the base? If we live together like this, we won’t have to worry about demons anymore, right? We can finally sleep with peace of mind,” Gan Xiaodan felt relieved. She had no ability. Worried and frightened, she basically never slept peacefully.

Feng Junlei also showed a little smile. He also had no ability. He was not an opponent of the powerful demons. Instead, he had to rely on his six-year-old daughter to protect himself.

After arriving at such a base, he felt that he could at least find a physical job and fulfill his responsibilities as a father to take care of his daughter.

“There will be many people with abilities in the base. It’s definitely safer to live here than in the wild. When we get there, take a look at the situation and stay if you find it suitable.”

Chu Qianxun opened the window between the cab and the rear compartment, turned her head to talk, “But it’s not easy wherever you live in the apocalypse, and don’t imagine it would be perfect.”

Gao Yan said, “Qianxun, don’t you plan to stay? Where are you going?”

“My relatives are in Ludao, and I have to go a long way to Ludao. I will rest here for a few days, and I may part ways with you.”

In fact, if it weren’t for waiting for that attack, Chu Qianxun would probably not stay there even for a few days.

She knew that in a few days, the base would encounter a mass attack of demons. Although it was eventually resisted, the loss at that time was still great.

Mainly because in addition to a batch of first-order demons, a third-order demon appeared among them.

What Chu Qianxun currently needed was a second-order crystal core, and second-order demons were still very rare at this time, and third-order demons were even more difficult to find. She couldn’t let go of any opportunity she knew to get crystal cores.

“Sister Qianxun, I don’t want to stay in this base, I want to follow you,” Jiang Chengzhu was the first to resist. He stood up and leaned against the window.

“You want to follow me? Then you have to think about it. The road will not be so easy, and the demons we encounter may get more powerful.”

Chu Qianxun smiled, reached out from the window and rubbed Jiang Chengzhu’s messy hair.

Jiang Chengzhu wanted to follow her so she was still a little happy.

It was certainly better to have one or two trustworthy and capable companions on the road.

“Me, me too…” Another voice sounded in the corner.

Chu Qianxun was stunned, and did not manage to hold her expression for a while.

Ye Peitian? She didn’t want to travel with Ye Peitian.

Ye Peitian immediately realized that Chu Qianxun had not thought of bringing him along.  

He quickly closed his mouth and swallowed the remaining half of the sentence.

She didn’t want him to stay by her side. Ye Peitian’s heart was picked by a needle.

Fortunately, the truck had reached the gate of the base at this time, which slightly eased the embarrassment between the two.

The base was still in the initial stage of construction, and the guards were still not rigorous.

The soldiers simply checked that Chu Qianxun and her party did not develop fever or serious injuries, and then let them in.

Because it was too crowded, vehicles were not allowed to enter the base.

Chu Qianxun rented a flatbed cart from the guard, and the payment was a candy she took out.

Right now, all currencies had lost their value, and mankind had returned to the era of exchanging goods. Food was the most important currency in the base.

Not far from the gate, a large white tent was set up with some medical staff and volunteers inside to treat the injured people.

In addition, some missionaries distributed leaflets around to preach their doctrines. The main purpose was to call on people to unite and overcome difficulties together.
