Chapter 315
The various bases set off one after another.
Almost every base was equipped with a snowplow.
Of course, these weren't exactly standard snowplows.
After all, Rong City wasn't a place where it snowed heavily every day in winter—in fact, it rarely snowed at all.
So, the snowplows were modified by Mu Yang and other metal-element ability users.
They turned out to be even more efficient than regular snowplows.
Just last night, the snowfall had been heavier than usual.
By this morning, thick piles of snow had accumulated on the ground.
Without the snowplows, vehicles wouldn’t have been able to travel normally.
Bases like Yangcheng Base, Rongsheng Base, and others had managed to find helicopters.
So, their people were divided into two groups.
One group traveled by road, while the other took to the skies.
The massive convoy departed in waves, and the once bustling streets quickly returned to silence.
Yun Xiaoxiao and her group were already near Rong City.
By that evening, everyone had returned.
"Ah, finally, we can get some proper rest," Nie Yizhou stretched and let out a big yawn.
The others didn’t say much, but when they saw the towering city walls in the distance, their expressions relaxed.
They were home!
During the time Yun Xiaoxiao and her group were away, the base had undergone significant changes.
Liu Yi, along with many others, had constructed a cluster of buildings on the open ground outside the base’s main gate.
They had upgraded the temporary reception area.
Now, there was a proper reception center with accompanying rest facilities.
The entire reception area was surrounded by high walls, so security wasn’t a major concern.
Moreover, the area was equipped with water, electricity, and gas.
These utilities were piped in from inside the base.
However, Liu Yi had noticed something strange.
Originally, he had planned to dig a tunnel underground to connect the pipelines between the base and the outside.
But when the workers dug down ten meters, they hit solid rock at the outermost edge of the base.
Thinking the foundation was just unusually deep, he ordered them to keep digging.
Even after digging twenty, then thirty meters, they still encountered nothing but solid rock.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Eventually, he gave up and decided to try drilling through the rock with an electric drill.
But he had underestimated the situation.
The rock was indestructible!
The drill couldn’t make a dent.
In the end, he had no choice but to run the utility lines over the top of the high walls.
That was how they finally managed to get water, electricity, and gas connected.
Meanwhile, Feng Jin and his team had made significant progress with greenhouse farming.
Now, even in such freezing weather, everyone could enjoy fresh vegetables they had grown themselves. It was a source of great joy.
Over at the livestock farm, many animals had given birth.
Although the base consumed fresh meat daily, the number of livestock had actually increased.
They lived comfortably in specially built warm shelters, leading leisurely lives.
Xie Youcai and his team were nearing the end of their coal mining efforts. In about a week, their work would be completely finished.
Inside the base, everyone was busy but orderly.
All the collected wood had been turned into charcoal.
The residential areas were now equipped with special heating systems designed for extreme cold.
Combined with air conditioning, even if temperatures dropped to minus sixty or seventy degrees, they wouldn’t have to worry.
The indoors would stay warm and cozy.
Grandma Niu’s flowers had all been moved into warm greenhouses.
Some had already bloomed into vibrant, beautiful flowers, adding a touch of life to the snowy winter landscape.
Some simple food processing factories had already started production, and the workers were full of energy.
New shops had also sprung up along the streets.
When Yun Xiaoxiao and her group returned, it happened to be everyone’s rest time.
So the streets were bustling with people strolling around, chatting, and enjoying snacks. The lively atmosphere almost felt like the bustling commercial streets before the apocalypse.
For Earth Traveler Sun and the others, who were visiting Yun City for the first time, it was like stepping into a whole new world.
From the moment they saw the base’s towering walls, they were in a constant state of awe.
Yes, Yun Xiaoxiao had brought them back.
Although their initial actions had been wrong, their experiences in battling zombies had brought about significant changes in both their skills and their mindset.
No one can go through life without making mistakes.
Since they had changed, there was no need to hold their past against them forever.
In the apocalypse, how many truly good people were left?
Besides, after Yun Xiaoxiao saved them, their loyalty to her had skyrocketed.
The worst among them had either died in the zombie battles or been eliminated by Yun Xiaoxiao’s group when they showed signs of betrayal.
So, those who remained were redeemable.
The base also needed more workers, so Yun Xiaoxiao decided to keep them all.
Mu Yang had his assistant take Earth Traveler Sun and the others to their assigned residences and register their skills for future job assignments.
Aunt Long, the Hua Brothers, and the others already had their living arrangements sorted.
Once back at the base, they all went to rest.
After such a long and exhausting journey, they could finally relax.
"Hey, isn’t this the scene from when we first attacked Danhong County?" Tao Mi'er exclaimed, standing in front of a large electronic display on the street.
The screen showed streets packed with zombies.
They were hideous and terrifying, emitting eerie growls that sent chills down the spine.
Then, the scene changed.
The zombie-slaying army entered the county, with several teams spreading out into different streets.
The sounds of battle erupted as countless zombies were killed, but many people were also bitten and killed on the spot.
The bloody scenes were horrifying to watch.
The video was quite long, featuring footage from their attacks on Danhong County and other places.
All the shots were taken from above, likely by drones.
"You guys are really amazing!" Tao Mi'er said, just as a passing auntie chimed in.
She watched the video and sighed, "When we first saw this, we were absolutely stunned.
We already thought zombies were terrifying, but seeing it like this made it so much more real."
Soon, a small crowd had gathered around.
"Yeah, living in Yun City is so peaceful. If it weren’t for this video, I’d almost forget how dangerous the outside world is."
"It’s hard to imagine what we’d do if we hadn’t come to Yun City and had to face those terrifying zombies."
"Exactly, exactly."
This video had been part of Yun Xiaoxiao’s plan from the beginning.
During their attacks on the cities, she had used drones to record everything from above.
When Mu Yang came to deliver supplies, she handed him the recording device and had him edit the footage to play on a loop on the streets.
