Chapter 1233: Green Mountain Base Needs to Move

Three-hundred meters is already the best we can do right now. There won’t be enough impact force to push out the fluid inside the bullets if the bullets flew over a larger distance,
Xiao Licheng responded to Kong Qingming, then continued,
Do you know how hard it is to make those bullets? What gave you the right to complain?


Alright, three-hundred meters is fine,
Kong Qingming said helplessly,
It’s not a long range, but not too short either.

The flower-head creatures grasped the scents of Kong Qingming and his people and followed behind their car. They weren’t moving fast though. They had no eyes, but their swaying tongues were able to sense the scents from the air.
Thankfully, the car was much faster than those creatures. Soon, Wu Chengyue and his people moved out of the flower-head creatures’ sensation range. After that, those creatures stopped moving and swagged their tongues from side to side to search for scents.
In Green Mountain Base, Lan Lu was reading a report with a deep frown. Sitting on the other side of the table, Chang Qingqing and Hu Daba also wore serious looks.

Do you think Si Kongchen really wants to share what he has found out with us? He’s not such a kind man,
Chang Qingqing dropped the material and sighed, then raised her head and said to Lan Lu.

Even if he won’t share what he knows with us, the others will. I don’t know what Si Kongchen is planning on. It’s not gonna be anything good anyway,
Lan Lu responded to her expressionlessly.

I wonder if Wu Chengyue and Lu Tianyu are on their way to Huaxia Base yet. Since they’re both attending the meeting, I think they already have plans,
said Chang Qingqing.
After all, those two must have thought of what she and Lan Lu could think of.

Hopefully, those creatures won’t make any moves before you guys come up with a plan,
Chang Qingqing thought for a moment, and then said worryingly.
Some other underground creatures had been found near Green Mountain Base recently. Apart from the disgusting multiple-eyed creatures that the zombie lady Chief found the last time, some other different types of weird creatures were seen in some other areas as well.
As those creatures emerged massively, the dry and deserted land in the West grew even worse.
Fewer and fewer plants could be found. The desertification and drought had been worsening, and the air quality had dropped drastically. In many areas, people had to wear face masks.

I wonder when will Chief wake up.
Thinking about Dong Xiaowei, who was still unconscious, Chang Qingqing felt even more depressed.

Don’t worry, he’ll recover! I heard that both All Beings Base and Sea City Base are developing the medicine to cure the out-of-control superpowered people. We can ask them for help when there is no better way,
said Lan Lu.

We don’t have a lot of food left in storage. The soil condition isn’t getting better. What should we do when we rUn out of food? Are we gonna purchase food from Huaxia Base?
Chang Qingqing thought of the fact that the food left in her base could only last for less than half a year. Currently, only Huaxia Base still had rich food storage. It was said that they did have the soil-less cultivation technology. That was the reason why they weren’t as short in food as the other bases.
Chang Qingqing also knew that making deals with Huaxia Base was not easy. They were not only greedy, but also unreasonable. Their unreasonable requirements could really give people a headache, and one could easily fall into their traps.

Why do we have to make deals with them? We can do it with Sea City Base,
Lan Lu didn’t care much about the food problem.
Chang Qingqing looked at him and asked,
Sea City Base? Isn’t it too far away from us? That is not the main problem. The problem is, do they have newly produced food? Based on what we know, they don’t have the soil-less cultivation technology. Even if they are able to grow food, they can’t possibly be expecting rich harvests. The food they grow might be barely enough for their own people. Will they sell their food to us?

Green Mountain Base had a small population. However, if Sea City Base were in shortage of food itself, the ones who ran that base would, of course, not sell their food to Green Mountain Base. Not to mention the long distance between Green Mountain Base and Sea City Base. That would be a dangerous journey. The longer the journey was, the more dangerous it could be.

Don’t worry! Doesn’t Wu Chengyue always have a plan B? How could he possibly turn against Huaxia Base openly without having a few cards saved? I think he’s not worried about food. I’ll talk to him and find out,
Lan Lu smiled. He thought more thoroughly than Chang Qingqing did.
Then, he continued,
Besides, traveling a long journey to make sure that our people don’t starve sounds better than falling into Si Kongchen’s trap.


Roar!
Hu Daba, who had been quiet the entire time, let out a sound to agree with Lan Lu.

Why don’t we move then? If we have to always travel from here to there, we might as well move to somewhere closer to both Sea City Base and Huaxia Base. After all, the environment in the West isn’t going to allow us to survive for many years. The life here is getting harder and harder,
Chang Qingqing pondered briefly, and then gave her suggestion.
On hearing that, Lan Lu stopped short, then turned to Hu Daba and said,
Daba, what do you think?

Lan Lu had been wanting to move the base since long ago. After all, the environment in the West wasn’t suitable for human beings to live anymore. He just never had a chance to bring up that idea. There was always so much work to do.
Hu Daba fell into deep thoughts after hearing Chang Qingqing’s words. As Lan Lu asked him for his opinion, he raised his eyes to look at the two.

Roar,
he gave a roar. ‘I’m fine with it. If we are going to move, we should start as soon as possible.’
Lan Lu smiled and said,
Okay. Since you both agree, I’ll be looking for a suitable place on my way to Huaxia Base. We’ll make the decision after I have found the place that can be our new base.

The other two both nodded in agreement.

I need to get ready and get on the way. This time, I think I’ll take Ye. Lei Cheng will stay here.
As the two nodded, Lan Lu clapped his hands and grinned.
…
As same as Wu Chengyue, Lin Qiao and her people also ran into a group of weird-looking creatures after spending a few hours on the journey. Before most people saw those creatures, Lin Qiao and Teng had both sensed them.

Mama, guess what they look like? Are they insects?
Teng’s eyes sparkled with curiosity and excitement. He was excited to see some underground creatures with his own eyes.
‘Well, I think they’re not going to be pretty,’ Lin Qiao said to herself. Judging by the extremely ugly creatures that she had seen before, Lin Qiao believed the ones which would show up soon would be ugly too.
She didn’t sense the vibe of those creatures on her way back to her base. It seemed to be a new type of underground creature. Why were there so many different kinds of them? Why weren’t they all the same?
If they were all the same, it would at least be easy to study them.
