For the first two days after Jin Yang started going to the military base during the day, Yin Yiliu played around with the black wolf pup they had at home. She bathed and combed the big black wolf, rediscovering the joy of stroking fluffy animals. In the afternoons, she followed Zhao Sihui around the streets of the base. They bought a lot of interesting little things at very low prices and exchanged points for grain, oil, and food.
While the novelty hadn’t worn off yet, she hadn’t felt lonely, but after a few days, she started feeling uncomfortable.
When Jin Yang was around, even when the man and the rabbit played the finger-catching game, they both enjoyed it and were not bored; but when Jin Yang was away, even when the people around her were playing and laughing, Yin Yiliu still felt empty in her heart.
The little girl sighed with her hands behind her back. With the two small buns bouncing on her head, she walked around the living room. From time to time, she would count the time and look out the door, wondering what her Big Golden Thigh was doing at the moment.
Jin Yang, who was being missed by Yin Yiliu, was standing at the door of the conference room in the military base at the moment, also thinking about the little girl at home.
Every morning when he left the house, he would be irritable for a long time. Without Yin Yiliu’s presence by his side, it was as if the vacancy that had been filled was dug up once more.
He frowned and pushed open the door, only to find that, in addition to Li Zhenjiang, there were several other men in the conference room.
The person sitting on Li Zhenjiang’s left side was Wu Xianling. The squinty-eyed man smiled when he saw Jin Yang. Li Zhenjiang’s right side was empty, while a few army troop leaders in military uniforms and evolved team captains sat in order.
The most important and powerful figures in the entire military base were here.
Across the table sat a young man in a white coat, Old Bai’s assistant, who had come to the conference today on behalf of Bai Qiguang.
Among all the people present, there was a familiar face; Liu Weihong, the leader of Team Red Eagle. He met Jin Yang’s eyes, and they both nodded.
When Li Zhenjiang saw that the young man he valued the most had arrived, he had a smile on his face and waved at Jin Yang.
“Sit here.”
Jin Yang walked to the vacant seat on Li Zhenjiang’s right side and sat down, surprising everyone in the room.
This was the first time they had met with the famous person whom everyone in the base had been gossiping about. While marveling at how young Jin Yang was, they also became vigilant.
Although they had long heard that General Li thought highly of this newcomer, they had not expected the leader of Team Morning Sun to be on equal footing with Wu Xianling.
Who was Wu Xianling?
General Li’s subordinate who had been with him in life and death situations, Wu Xianling had followed him from City B all the way to City Z. It could be said that he was the person with the most authority around Li Zhenjiang.
Everyone’s eyes moved back and forth between Wu Xianling and Jin Yang, hoping to see some sign of discord between the two young men, but one was cold and the other was smiling, and it didn’t look like they had any contact with each other.
After Jin Yang sat down, Li Zhenjiang slowly crossed his hands and pressed his elbows against the table. “Now that everyone is here, I’d like to make an announcement concerning the most important news from the central government. Everyone will be quite busy in the next few days.”
After Li Zhenjiang finished speaking, Wu Xianling stood up from his seat and distributed the documents that had been stacked beside him to the hands of those present.
After reading the document, everyone’s expressions changed. For a while, everyone had different thoughts and opinions, and there were whispers throughout the conference hall.
The document listed the major and minor disasters that had occurred in various provinces across the country since the beginning of the apocalypse, and it was compiled by City B.
Aside from super bases like that of City Z, several small-sized survival bases had been broken through by mutated animals and plants. It was said that the sea of blood and broken limbs in those places was like hell, the nightmare of humans, and the carnival of animals.
In other words, animals and plants had been constantly evolving to become stronger and a much greater threat to the human race, and they had now reached a crucial stage.
Jin Yang noticed that the word ‘Flying Dragon Base’ was among the red dots circled on the document.
“In the past six months, sixteen small cities, including Dragon City and Stone City, have been completely destroyed. Thirteen of them were destroyed by large beast tides, and three were destroyed by giant mutated plants.”
Beast tides?
This was the first time many people had heard of this term. The expressions of the leaders of evolved teams immediately changed. They instantly understood the implications.
“Mutated animals are banding together to destroy cities? How is this possible?!”
“If that’s the case, isn’t our base in danger?”
“…”
Li Zhenjiang tapped on the table with the back of his finger to signal for everyone to calm down. When his usually stern face tensed up, there was an invisible pressure throughout the entire conference hall.
“I believe that everyone recognizes the gravity of the situation. The emergence of beast tides means that the mutated animals that we originally had to defeat one by one have joined together to form a cohesive force. They have learned how to fight as a group.”
This had undoubtedly worsened things for humans who were already in a difficult situation.
