Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

The base in Jinzhou responded to the retreat plan as soon as it observed the monster on the seashore. There was no telling how many similar monsters were hidden in the depths of the boundless sea. It was beyond the ability of a single base to resist them, so escape was their only option.

The rapid retreat of the people at the Jinzhou base did not stop the marine life, nor could it stop the pursuit of the sea monsters.

Most marine creatures have water-attributed abilities. Although their abilities are weak, their bodies are hard and they are extremely fast. Some monsters even carry toxins that are lethal on contact with blood.

More than half of the people at the Tsushu base were injured, and most of them fled towards Kyoto. A small number of people were afraid that Kyoto would be attacked again in the future, so they continued to travel west to find a safer base.

Wang Zheng was not in a very bad state when he arrived at the Zhangshi base. He found an ownerless car on the road and drove all the way. Driving is a necessary skill for a seven-year-old child.

When Wang Zheng arrived at the outskirts of the base, he met a group of people. There were about twenty of them. Most of them were ragged and smelly, and looked tired and terrified. They did not line up at the registration desk, but went straight to the gatekeeper and said something excitedly.

A little girl sat on a man's shoulders. This girl caught Wang Zheng's attention and reminded him of the little girl who had signed a contract with him.

Also in this chaotic world, Fang Jia'an was dressed cleanly and smelled of milk, but the girl's clothes were covered with dried blood, her face was covered with dust, and her hair was like dry straw. The two girls who grew up in different living environments had the same firm gaze and vigorous attitude. Such people inspired his desire to survive.

When Wang Zheng walked to the gate and showed his ID, he heard the man say:

"Many of us have arrived at the base in Kyoto, but our group insisted on going deeper inland, and only then did we arrive at the Zhang City base. We hope that the officials at the base will pay attention to this news and take precautions. After all, those monsters have begun to occupy our base. They have intelligence that is no less than that of humans, or there have been creatures with intelligence that is no less than that of humans for a long time, but they have been dormant and have only come ashore now..."

Wang Zheng showed his ID, and his subsequent words gradually faded away on the distant road.

Although it was just a few short sentences, Wang Zheng got the general idea. It was just that some monster appeared somewhere and attacked humans, and these people came here for refuge. Although he was curious, he did not have the time and power to ask in detail. Now his top priority was to find someone to explain the situation and then take his brother to get treatment.

Wang Zheng went to the inner city to meet his leader and told him the truth about their trip. Because those people were quite valuable, the base arranged a team to prepare the items on the supply list.

Wang Zheng naturally would not be able to overhear the conversation between the leader and team leader Zhang Cheng. He had been traveling all the way, so the leader asked him to go home and rest and wait for notice.

Wang Zheng has a bed in the inner city. There are six people living in the small room. Most of them are people with special abilities like him who were trained in the inner city. When he talks about going home, he means going back to the small house he rents in the outer city.

The concept of sharing a house is always there at any time. The three kids shared a three-bedroom apartment with two other weaker teams. The eldest kid has now restored his real name, Wang Qiang. The second kid doesn't remember his real name so he calls himself Wang En. Wang Zheng's name was given by someone who remembers it.

Wang Qiang's legs were injured and now the wounds have festered and he can't walk. His bones seem to be broken. Wang En's back was scratched with a deep scar from his shoulder to his waist. Now he can only stay in bed and is even in a coma for a long time. He is on the verge of death.

After Wang Zheng came back, he briefly talked about his plan to take the two of them to the Liuzhuang base.

Wang Qiang struggled and said:

"Third brother, forget it, just give us a quick death. If you go now, you don't know what you will have to pay. The two of us are already a burden to you."

This doesn't sound like something a ten-year-old would say, but it's true.

Wang Zheng did not say anything. He took out two green objects the size of mung beans from his pocket and said, "Brother, you are done now. I have exchanged my life for this opportunity. If you don't go, I will lose my life too."

Without waiting for the eldest brother to reply, the boy stuffed one of them into his mouth and said, "Eat this first, or you won't be able to bear it on the way. Don't waste it. It's not easy for me to save you in exchange for my life."

Wang Qiang swallowed the green granules with tears in his eyes. Wang Zheng then forced the granules down his throat. However, Wang En woke up unexpectedly after half an hour.

Since they knew that this was an opportunity Wang Zheng had bought with his life, the two brothers no longer said anything about not going, nor did they express their gratitude in words. They just kept it in their hearts, just like they had once given most of their food to Wang Zheng.

Before leaving, Wang Zheng found the captain and secretly put a box of cigarettes into the captain's pocket. The cigarettes were found in the wrecked cars of his original team and now they were useful.

Wang Zheng whispered:

"Brother Zhang, there's still some room in the back of my car. I'll take two people with me, my two brothers. You know they were both seriously injured and won't live long. Before they died, I wanted to take them out to see more. That would be my last thought."

Brother Zhang reached into his pocket and patted Wang Zheng on the shoulder and said:

"Okay, just don't delay our business. I know your situation and you're someone I can work with."

Wang Zheng said flatteringly:

"Don't worry, Brother Zhang. It's hard for them to move around now. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

After everyone got in the car, Wang Zheng went to the corner and carried his two brothers to the back of his car. The two of them were crowded in the space full of supplies. For two days, they only drank water and did not get out of the car. Fortunately, Zhou Leng gave them the two wood essence condensed particles, otherwise they would have died.

When a group of six vehicles arrived at the Liuzhuang base, the gate was already full of villagers.

It turned out that since the last accident, Li Xu had been working day and night to build a watchtower using his own supernatural powers and the villagers' wood-related supernatural powers. Although it was crude, it was useful.

Under the earthen wall were six people who looked a little listless. They were covered in dust and their hands and feet were tied. When they saw the hope of life bursting out in the eyes of their own people, which had been dim for many days.

The atmosphere was a bit tense. The villagers were sure that the other party was not well-intentioned and were naturally on high alert. Zhang Cheng saw that the other party was on high alert. Although he had a smile on his face, he had already begun to be secretly alert in his heart.
