Qin Lang had already prepared himself mentally, and now his emotional fluctuations were minimal. He picked up his chopsticks and continued eating.

"In broad daylight, most people you meet are ghosts; at dusk, you encounter ghosts and suspect them of being human! People die and the ground is littered with fallen people; human bones are gradually aged by the wind." Shen Shiquan recited a few lines in a low voice.

Yu Anyan: I've never heard of it, but it sounds very cultured.

"How did Captain Zhou handle things?"

"She had those people temporarily locked up, to be dealt with when the base officials returned. The two leaders actually didn't want to leave; they wanted to establish a base here."

"Naive! They don't even dare to come out and collect supplies. Would they starve if they built a base?"

"They probably thought that if the authorities came and cleared out the zombies, they would leave all the supplies in the county to them."

"How can someone with this kind of brain become king?"

"He probably used all his superpowers to control his own kind, and that's why he thinks he's a chosen one."

"That's insane."

The next morning, the Breaking World Squad went to the clothing area, picked out some items and stuffed them into Yu Anyan's space, and packed the rest up and transported them to the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the base's vehicles to take them back.

The first batch of returning vehicles were loaded with grain. A portion of the personnel escorted them back, along with several surviving researchers rescued from the planting base, including the old professor who was their main target. The remaining half of the team continued to collect supplies and search for survivors in Qing County.

Zhou Shiya was in a bad mood: "If you ask me, we shouldn't specifically search for survivors. When the main force is clearing out the zombies, most of the zombies are attracted out. At this time, those who don't know to come out and find a way to survive are not of any use to be brought back."

"We need to collect supplies anyway, and we should bring out any survivors. Besides, some people might be trapped there and unable to get out," Yu Anyan reassured her. "Weren't the two superhumans in that group executed? Why are you still so angry?"

The base hopes to rescue as many humans as possible, but it won't spare just any scoundrel. In times of chaos, harsher measures are needed, and the procedures that are followed in peacetime are simply skipped. After learning about the situation, the highest-ranking officer leading the team did not hesitate to shoot the two inhuman superhumans, and the rest faced hard labor imprisonment.

"The rest are no good either. Husbands sacrificed their wives, parents sacrificed their children, and none of those who survived were good people."

"Isn't anyone going to resist?"

"Yes, there were two girls who escaped when they discovered they were eating people. We found them in the small supermarket at the entrance of the community. They almost starved to death."

"Even the smallest supermarket shouldn't be able to feed two people for two months, right?"

"It was already looted at the beginning of the apocalypse."

If they hadn't chosen the grain reserve in Qing County, the two girls who had escaped with great difficulty would have died sooner or later. The neighborhood was teeming with zombies, and by the time they escaped, the zombies had been completely upgraded. The two girls, without weapons or special abilities, would have had no chance of running away.

"If two girls could escape to the entrance of the residential area, there were forty or fifty people in that building at the beginning. Couldn't they have tried to fight their way out?"

Zhou Shiya sighed deeply: "One of the girls' parents used themselves as a shield to send both of them away."

One for one. The survivors in that building witnessed the tragedy and dared not go out anymore.

It's no wonder Zhou Shiya was so angry. Whether it was those cannibalistic beasts or the couple who sacrificed themselves to send their child away, these were all things that caused great emotional turmoil.

When the third batch of grain trucks arrived, the Broken World Squad prepared to return to base, along with the remaining survivors from Qing County.

On the way, they encountered another team of survivors who had temporarily formed a group, and they were going to the capital base together.

"Yu Anyan? You're still alive?" Mo Ru exclaimed in surprise.

Yu Anyan rummaged through the original owner's memories before remembering that the disheveled woman in front of her was her classmate, Mo Ru, who had once possessed her spatial ability in a past life.

"Mo Ru?"

"Are you really not dead?"

"Are you surprised that I didn't die?" Yu Anyan frowned.

"No, no, what I mean is, we were celebrating your birthday and you were stuck at your house, and then you just ran away, you—"

"So you mean I have to stay here and be at the mercy of others to please you?"

"That's not what I meant. What I meant was, why didn't you take us classmates with you when you ran away? We were stuck at your house because we were celebrating your birthday."

"I had absolutely no fighting skills at the time, so why did I bring along a classmate who was clearly trying to scheme against me? Did I look stupid?"

Mo Ru felt wronged: "Yu Anyan, you can't talk nonsense. When did we ever scheme against you?"

"That's because I ran away. Otherwise, weren't you already planning to send me to Zhang Qiang's bed in exchange for supplies?" In fact, he hadn't had a chance to voice this thought in this life, but did it matter? Did he have to wait until others started plotting against him before he could retaliate?

"We didn't, we didn't,"

"It doesn't matter anymore. In this apocalypse, everyone has to rely on their own abilities. I'm risking my life to leave alone. If I win, it's my luck; if I lose, I'll risk my own life. Nobody can blame anyone else. I don't want to reminisce with classmates who have ulterior motives. From now on, please pretend you don't know me."

Mo Ru stared at the impeccably dressed Yu Anyan with a livid face. Seeing her talking to a very handsome man, she became furious and shouted, "Have you forgotten Tian Jun? He treated you with all his heart, and you turned around and hooked up with a new man? You really use your face to the extreme."

Mo Ru's loud shout attracted everyone's attention. A person jumped out from the crowd: "Yu Anyan? Is it really you? You've hooked up with a big shot? Your brother is starving. Tell your sugar daddy to give me some food."

Yu Anming?

Today was truly a day of bad luck; I should have known she would return to base in a later batch.

"Fine, so snakes, insects, rats and ants have all come out of their nests, huh? Let's take care of them all at once." Yu Anyan stopped Jin Feiyang, who was trying to speak up for her, and first kicked Yu Anming, who was standing in front of her, away.

Yu Anming is a superhuman with water-based abilities; he raised his hand, intending to drench her completely.

She might have to hide from other superpowered individuals, but water-based superpowers—isn't that her domain?

From Yu Anming's perspective, the water he released seemed to come alive, hovering in mid-air and changing various shapes before finally splitting in two: one part splashed onto him on the ground, and the other splashed onto Mo Ru, whose eyes were filled with resentment.

Everyone at the base knew about the unique nature of Yu Anyan's ability. The survivors whispered among themselves, "What kind of ability is this? The ability to control other people? How terrifying!"

Soaked to the bone, Mo Ru asked warily, "What kind of superpower do you have?"
