Everyone agreed quickly. Two people in the corner started crying, while the others looked natural. Apparently they were used to this kind of treatment.
After the extreme heat, except for the powerful people in the large bases, all the previous food of mankind had been consumed, either eaten up or rotted away.
Now, even a piece of moldy bread could not be found.
Without a food source, some humans began a new hunting life and their diet changed drastically.
The camp started to make a fire, build a stove, and boil water.
Ruan Ning looked at the butcher in the camp, who was holding a butcher knife and sharpening it on a stone.
The moon and stars in the sky are still bright, beautiful, and perfect.
Ruan Ning didn’t watch any further.
After returning to the RV, Ruan Cifeng and Zhou Sulan immediately stepped forward and asked, “How is it? Have you found them?”
Ruan Ning shook her head: “No, I lost them.”
Ruan Cifeng breathed a sigh of relief: “It’s okay, as long as we don’t encounter any danger. We have to be more vigilant at night.”
Ruan Ning said: “From the direction they left, they won’t run into us again. But we do need to be careful on the road.”
Zhou Sulan nodded.
The next day during the day, the three of them set out again.
They encountered two vibrations on the road, but the three of them were already accustomed to this pattern and continued forward without stopping.
Due to this detour and other reasons, it took them four days to find Nanyuan City.
Of course, it was not close to the city. Ruan Ning used a drone for reconnaissance.
Like Jinbei, Nanyuan City has become a ruin, with all the collapsed houses and deep cracks and pits.
The Tomorrow Base is a rebuilt factory area. It is located in a large rural area and has nothing to do with the urban area.
After the big earthquake, they evacuated about ten kilometers to the back and built a simple camp.
Ruan Ning found the trail from the drone, then took Ruan Cifeng and Zhou Sulan to a secluded place, and left the RV there.
She groped her way to the camp alone. This time, she was too lazy to make up a story, so she simply used the invisibility device and walked in.
The interior inside maintained Zheng Kun’s usual style. The entire camp was arranged with a sense of ceremony. Even the shabby wooden houses had base symbols on them. There were more people on the periphery, and fewer people there as she went inside.
It was still divided into districts for governance.
Ruan Ning took a rough walk and estimated that the base’s current population should be around 10,000 people, which should make it a super large base.
Of course, it couldn’t be compared to the terrifying scale of New Hope Base.
Walking to the center, Ruan Ning discovered that there were mostly tents there. One of the tents was guarded by eight big men. It seemed that this was where Zheng Kun lived.
She waited outside for a moment and followed a person who was reporting on his work into the room.
The inside of the tent was very clean, and there was a cabinet for files, secured with ropes and nails.
Zheng Kun sat in the office chair, staring at the desk without saying a word.
The person who came in was reporting the recent food reserves of the base, and his words were not optimistic.
After listening to this, Zheng Kun waved his hand and asked the man to leave.
The man hesitated and wanted to speak again, but Zheng Kun said impatiently: “I know, I will find a way to solve it.”
Zheng Kun was the only one left in the tent. He first knocked on the table with his left hand, then stood up from his seat, and paced around.
After a moment, he sat back in his chair, looking restless.
Ruan Ning walked around his tent but didn’t see Chu Dingfeng.
