Song Pan'er had to follow Qi Qun to the North City base to exchange supplies first.

"We haven't killed many zombies, and there are very few crystal cores. I guess we can only exchange them for a few insect cakes." Qi Qun sighed while driving, then turned to ask Song Pan'er, "Little sister, are you hungry? I still have half a insect cake here."

Song Pan'er didn't know what "worm cake" was, so she asked directly.

Qi Qun was a little surprised. "You don't even know about bug cakes? They're cakes made from mutant bugs, without viruses, and can be used to fill your stomach. Have you never eaten them?"

Song Pan'er shook her head. Not to mention eating, she had never even heard of it. After all, she had just arrived and Qi Qun was the first living person she met.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, Qi Qun carefully explained it to her.

After the zombie crisis broke out, the world came to a standstill. Not only did humans turn into zombies, but animals also mutated, including a black beetle.

Experts have discovered that the predecessor of this black beetle was a giant cockroach, and it only gained a black shell on its body after mutation.

This kind of insect is harmless to the human body, and since there are so many of them, they naturally become food for humans.

Don’t even bother talking about whether it’s disgusting or not. When it comes to life and death, what’s the point of eating cockroach cakes?

After listening to Qi Qun's explanation, Song Pan'er said: ...

Sorry, forgive her inability to accept it, she really can't eat cockroaches.

But she was no longer the naive girl who wore all her emotions on her face, so she didn't show it. She just said calmly, "No need, eat it yourself."

After a pause, she brought up the crystal cores Qi Qun mentioned, "Do you take the crystal cores you get from killing zombies to the North City base to exchange for insect biscuits?"

Qi Qun nodded. The distance between the two bases was very far, and it would take him a whole day and night to drive there, without any rest time.

"What does the North City Base need so many crystal cores for?" Song Pan'er asked curiously.

Qi Qun shook his head. "I don't know either. This is the news our base commander brought back. She has been in contact with the base commander of the North City base."

As he spoke, his expression unconsciously turned gossipy. "I heard that Base Commander Liu and the Base Commander of Beicheng were boyfriend and girlfriend before they lost contact and then established their own bases."

Song Paner narrowed her eyes and casually mentioned Chen Miao's name.

"Didn't I hear that Liu Yan has a good friend named Chen Miao or Li Miao?"

Qi Qun suddenly realized, "You are talking about Chen Miao, right? She died, for her brother and sister, died in the zombie tide."

Song Pan'er had no expression on her face. She turned her head to look at him, which made Qi Qun feel a chill on his back.

"What, what's wrong, little sister?"

Song Pan'er shook the gun in her hand and said, "Now, I ask questions and you answer them. If you dare to tell a lie, I will shoot you."

Qi Qun: ???

Qi Qun:!!!

What's going on? Why are they suddenly going to kill him? What did he say wrong?

"Little sister, I will answer whatever you ask, but you must hold it steady." Qi Qun was almost scared to death.

Why does this kid have such a changeable temper?

I was chatting with him just now, but now his expression suddenly changed.

Don't try to guess what a little girl is thinking.

"Let me ask you, did Chen Miao really die in the zombie tide?" Song Pan'er's eyes were as bright as torches, and her gaze was particularly deep.

Qi Qun looked at the road conditions ahead, carefully avoided the scrapped vehicle blocking the road, and then organized his words to answer.

"I'm not sure, but that's what I saw at the time. And it wasn't just me who saw it; everyone in the entire Southern Xinjiang base saw it."

"The Southern Xinjiang base was originally founded by Chen Miao and Liu Yan. However, not long after the base was established, Chen Miao and her two siblings were killed in a zombie horde. Not even their remains were left; they were devoured by the zombies."

As Qi Qun spoke, he couldn't help but shudder as he recalled what happened that day.

The scene that day was so tragic that he still remembers it vividly.

His sister also died in that zombie wave, and it was on that day that he lost his only relative.

The more Song Pan'er listened, the more her brows furrowed.

To be honest, she didn't believe that Chen Miao was dead.

Because judging from the situation in Yao Zhaodi's dimension, Chen Miao might be controlled by someone.

Her intuition told her that Chen Miao must be in the North City base.

"Tell me about the situation at the North City base. It's best not to tell me a single lie. My gun has never killed a living person. Perhaps you can be the first."

Song Pan'er threatened again.

Beads of sweat rolled down Qi Qun's forehead. He felt that the person sitting next to him might not be a little sister, but a little witch.

She looks so cute, why does she always say such scary things?

Does he look scared?

The burly fellow, who was over 1.8 meters tall, cowered and managed a hard smile. "Hey, little sister, I'll tell the truth. Please spare my life!"

Song Pan'er glared at him with dead eyes, "Then tell me quickly."

Qi Qun nodded repeatedly and told everything he knew about the North City Base.

The North City Base is an old base, where all the residents are the wealthy people, scientists and other people from before the apocalypse. It never accepts outsiders. The insect cakes were also developed by the experts at the North City Base.

The reason why they are willing to exchange the insect cakes for the crystal core is because the experts are studying how to extract the energy within the crystal core.

As for what the energy was extracted for, no one knew except the top brass at the North City base.

The chief of the North City Base is named Xiao Cheng. Before the apocalypse, he was a rich second-generation whose family owned a mine. Shortly after the zombie crisis broke out, he established the North City Base and took over all the scientists and experts.

Legend has it that before the zombie crisis, he had a dream that the end of the world was coming, so he used all his family's property to build a base and purchase supplies.

I heard that experts and scientists have been studying zombies over the years, but no one knows what the results are.

Qi Qun is an ordinary person. He has never even entered the gate of the North City Base. Every time he goes there, he just exchanges insect cakes on the outskirts.

Song Pan'er fell into deep thought.

Can an ordinary rich second generation establish a base immediately after the zombie crisis?

Why doesn't she believe it so much?

Moreover, based on her experience of reading countless online articles, this Xiaocheng seems a bit like a rebirth.

But whether he was reborn or not didn't matter much to her. Her main purpose of coming to this plane was to see how Chen Miao was doing and whether he was still alive.

It is possible that he is still alive. Even if it is a dangerous place, she will go and give it a try.

……

……

North City Base.

The entire room was made of silver unknown metal. On the operating table in the center of the room lay a young woman with her abdomen cut open.

The woman was not dead, her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.

Outside the glass window that occupied an entire wall, Xiao Cheng clasped his arms across his chest and looked at the person on the operating table expressionlessly.
