While others are struggling to survive and slaying zombies in the apocalypse, I'm hoarding supp

Luo Ning drove towards the Xuanwu Base.

Those people followed her near the base last time; she's going to investigate them.

A few kilometers from the Xuanwu base, you can see a clear fork in the road.

The weather was too hot, and the soil on the ground had long since dried up. The scorched soil was blown by the strong wind, covering the road with a dark layer of black.

However, the road must have been recently traversed, as tire tracks are clearly visible.

Luo Ning had 123 activate its X-ray vision, and while looking around, they drove towards that direction.

Soon, the shadow of the building could be seen at the location of the perspective panel.

Luo Ning walked a few hundred meters further before being spotted.

But she wasn't worried, and openly launched drones toward the private base across the street.

The buildings outside the private base are similar to those of the Xuanwu base, except that not all of them are rebuilt with polymer materials; most are simply coated with a layer of material.

Luo Ning's drone circled around the area; there was more than one private base nearby.

There are probably seven or eight, the larger ones have several thousand people, and the smaller ones have only a few dozen.

Luo Ning was unsure who was spying on him.

However, looking at the surrounding environment, if you were to play GG around here, business would probably be much better than at the Xuanwu Base.

Although the official base has a large population and high security, most of the people there are ordinary people without superpowers.

Even for those superhumans who frequently go out, the supplies and crystals they collect each time are split 30/70 with the base.

Seven bases, three individuals.

Luo Ning's lips twitched as she thought about this; she knew this ratio when...

She couldn't help but roll her eyes. In her previous life, she had collected resources at the Red Maple Base, and the base itself was only about 50/50 with her.

However, most of the people in the private bases are people who have awakened their superpowers. Ordinary people who have not awakened their superpowers are brought in by people with superpowers.

Of course, these people don't have their basic living needs guaranteed by private bases like they do by official bases.

Ordinary people living in private bases are entirely supported by the superhumans in their families, and they have to pay rent to live in the base.

This results in the consumption level of superhumans who have to support their families being much higher than that of those in the official base.

In general, official and private bases each have their advantages and disadvantages.

However, most of the people in private bases are people with superpowers, which results in more wealthy people in private bases than in official bases.

Luo Ning calculated how many people were in the nearby base and how many crystal cores they possessed.

When will all these crystal cores be in her hands?

The more Luo Ning thought about it, the more pronounced the upturn of her lips became.

"Host, keep it down. Someone's coming. We need to maintain a good image in public." 123's lips twitched.

Luo Ning glared at it, then withdrew her somewhat foolish expression and returned to her inscrutable demeanor.

Xiao Helin spotted Luo Ning's car as soon as it appeared in the area, staring at her arrogant drone as if it were a provocation.

She realized that he was unhappy with her being observed by drone twice, and now she was retaliating.

They immediately sent someone out to investigate.

There was a knock on the car window, and Luo Ning rolled it down.

He was wearing pink sunglasses that covered half of his face.

She was dressed exceptionally youthfully today, wearing a pink tank top and a white tulle skirt, with white sneakers on her feet. When she was bored at home, she asked Xiao Jie to perm her hair into big curls, which she now tied into a ponytail, hanging down her back in curls.

The people who came in were stunned when they saw her. Her current appearance really made them think it was before the apocalypse.

Before his apocalypse, he worked near a university, and those young and beautiful college students were dressed like this.

But I've never seen such a beautiful girl before. Her skin is so white it practically glows. Even though she's wearing sunglasses that cover most of her face, you can still see her exquisite features.

Most importantly, she has an undeniable quality about her that makes people feel inferior.

Luo Ning tapped his finger on the car window. "A superhuman. I don't know which type they are, but their level should be pretty good."

She said that the people in the private base would be quite capable, and that anyone who came out would be of a high level.

"What's up? Speak up?"

Luo Ning clicked his tongue in disapproval. Private bases simply can't match the orderliness of official bases, and the quality of their personnel varies greatly.

After all, in the post-apocalyptic world, all the personnel selection criteria established before the apocalypse were broken, and everyone now prioritizes strength.

Without the constraints of morality and law, some people can use superpowers to turn their lives around and stand in a position they couldn't have before the apocalypse.

However, such people are rare. After all, no matter what, if someone is not mentally sharp, no matter how capable they are, they will not succeed.

All I can get is the comment, "simple-minded but physically strong."

How far can a person without brains go?

Upon hearing Luo Ning's question, the man immediately snapped out of his daze and unconsciously lowered his posture.

"Miss Luo, our boss would like to invite you in."

Luo Ning didn't move, with a lollipop dangling from her mouth—something she had secretly hidden away.

A while ago, she found a blood glucose meter in her online storage and, on a whim, tested her blood sugar. To her surprise, it was too high.

From then on, Xiao Jie forbade her from eating so many sweets.

I don't know what method he used to bribe 123 to make it monitor her.

She got this candy by bribing 123.

"Who is your boss?" Luo Ning asked casually.

The man lowered his body even further. "Our boss is the founder of Helin Base, the largest base in Ningcheng, and also the joint base manager of private bases in Ningcheng."

Luo Ning's eyes darted around, surprised that these private bases in Ningcheng had joined forces so quickly.

This so-called joint base commander is somewhat capable.

She knew that private bases, unlike official bases, did not have a single leader.

The joint base is more like a collection of smaller bases of varying sizes.

They usually act independently and do not interfere with each other.

However, when faced with major dangers, the joint base commander will organize the response to the danger together.

She had encountered several such apocalyptic private bases in her previous life.

I just didn't expect this pattern to form here so quickly.

Luo Ning took off his sunglasses, a warm smile on his face.

"Okay, lead the way."

The man led the way, and when they arrived at the base entrance, he looked at Luo Ning's car with a troubled expression.

They need to check such a big vehicle, otherwise they won't know if there are people hiding inside.

Luo Ning got out of the car readily, but didn't let the man touch her car.

Instead, he waved his hand, and the car disappeared.

The man was utterly shocked; the entire car must have been over sixty square meters in size.

Even the most powerful spatial ability user in their base has a space of no more than two hundred square meters.

And how precious is the space of a superhuman? Everyone has filled it with supplies, so how can they just leave dozens of square meters empty just to put a car in?

Luo Ning's actions were broadcast to Xiao Helin, who couldn't help but laugh as he looked at the woman on the big screen.

"That's really interesting!"
