Chapter 135: Z-City Base
In only three months, Qin Yi’s ice abilities had reached the fourth stage and her mental ability had reached the third, while Yun Huan’s fire ability had reached the fourth stage as well. Chu Mohe and Du Ruan were at the peak of the second stage while the Lin brothers and Wang Wenwen had just broken through into the second stage.
The abilities of the ability users were split into 10 stages, with each increase in rank leading to the next rank becoming more and more difficult to break through. In her previous life, Qin Yi’s abilities reached the sixth rank and were no longer able to increase from there. Even so, she was considered a powerhouse in Z-Base.
But in this life, with her past experience and the Origin Space, her abilities were improving at an exponential rate. She had reached the fourth stage in less than four months and it could be said that she was currently one of the top rankers in China.
But what shocked her was Yun Huan. She could only say that he was even more capable than her. She was able to improve quickly solely due to her experience and the Origin Space, but he relied on himself to improve and reach the fourth stage.
Comparing yourself to others truly made you angry at yourself.
In this second life, the apocalypse had just begun, and the base had just recently been completed. Everything was still chaotic, without much order present. After three months, the base was built to a certain extent and now would be a good time to enter it.
Yun Huan passed another strawberry over to Qin Yi, who rubbed her stomach in annoyance to express that she was full. Perhaps she was undergoing a growth spurt recently, but Yun Huan and the group were afraid she would get hungry and constantly fed her. She was about to grow into a little fatty.
Qin Yi accepted Yun Huan’s strawberry, then turned and gave it to Xiao Lan, who was on her shoulder. Xiao Lan grabbed the strawberry with its beak and swallowed it directly. It smacked its beak in satisfaction and laid down on its belly.
Yun Huan glanced at Xiao Lan coldly, a bit of unhappiness present between his brows. Seeing this, Qin Yi explained, “Big Brother Huan, I can’t eat anymore. If I continue eating, I won’t be able to eat later.”
Hearing that, Yun Huan’s brows became gentler. He stopped and caressed Qin Yi’s head and replied in a low, pampering tone, “En, then let’s not eat. You can eat more later.”
Seated behind her and eating her strawberries, Wang Wenwen was used to this after interacting with them for three months. At the beginning, she would watch them with stars in her eyes and would almost have nosebleeds. After the three months, however, she was more serene in the face of sights such as this.
Lin Qing drove smoothly, arriving at the entrance of Z-Base. As per what Xu Yan had mentioned, there were many military personnel at the entrance, all of them checking the people who entered the base.
Z-City base was still small, with thick mud walls surrounding it as a form of protection. Qin Yi remembered that these were established by earth ability users after two months. They had mixed reinforced concrete into the walls, which made them extremely secure.
There were many who wanted to enter the base, so Qin Yi and the rest waited for their turn.
Military personnel knocked on their windows, “People inside, come on down. We need to check all of you.”
Qin Yi and the group opened their doors and came down. Upon leaving the vehicle, Qin Yi could sense countless eyes observing all over them. They were dressed cleanly and looked extremely healthy, a single look telling everyone that they were doing well. To be able to survive well in the apocalypse meant that the team had strength, maybe even ability users among them.
The gazes changed and became appreciative. It was good to form connections with such strong users. Even if they couldn’t become their friends, they absolutely could not offend them.
Even the military man checking on them changed his demeanor. He revealed a smile and spoke very warmly, “My apologies, the check is a requirement. Aside from that, whoever wants to enter the base needs to hand over 4 catties of rice.”
