“The magnetic field is disordered, and radio waves are not working properly. This banner is quite eye-catching and serves as a way to remind everyone of the base's location,” Bai Zhi said.

With the banner as a guide, Fu Muyu no longer needed to look at the map and directly asked Shi Qing to tell the fish to take them to the location of the banner.

Half an hour later, everyone finally saw the tall city walls of the Qingdu base. By then, the rain had stopped, the sun was shining through the clouds, and the temperature had soared to fifty or sixty degrees Celsius again.

"As expected of the capital base, it looks impregnable," Yun Cangshu praised. They didn't know how deep the flooded walls were, but the walls above the water were at least eight meters high.

It is about three meters thick. Under the sunlight, the city wall emits a cold, silvery-white metallic light, and it is impossible to tell what kind of metal it is.

The surface of the city wall is covered by an electric grid, and the top of the city wall is covered with rows of solar photovoltaic panels that provide power to the grid.

"They even have electric fences on the city walls, showing a high level of safety awareness." Bai Zhi wondered how effective they were against zombies.

"There are arrows on the city wall. Are they telling us the direction of the city gate?" As Qiu Ling approached the city wall, she noticed the black arrows painted on it first and asked curiously.

“It should be.” Fu Muyu gestured to Shi Qing to have the fish follow the direction of the arrow. In less than five minutes, everyone saw the gate of the Qingdu base.

Perhaps due to the recent heavy rains, there was no one queuing to enter the base; the base gates were tightly closed, and there wasn't even a gatekeeper at the entrance.

"Hey Lao Wang, look, isn't there a boat heading towards our gate?" Ji Jun, a soldier patrolling the city wall, nudged his teammate Wang Dong's arm with his elbow and said.

"Really? Are there people on board?" Wang Dong raised his binoculars and looked in the direction of the cruise ship.

"Really, there are people on the deck, one, two, three... six people. They actually came in a cruise ship. They're rich."

No, since they were able to sail their cruise ship to the base so soon after the downpour stopped, they probably set off while it was still pouring rain.

Wang Dong guessed that the person who dared to travel in the pouring rain after the apocalypse must be quite strong, and there must be a powerful superhuman among them.

"I'll go tell the gatekeeper to prepare for registration. You keep an eye on the group on the boat for any suspicious behavior." Wang Dong shoved the binoculars into Ji Jun's arms and ran quickly into the base.

"You're quite vigilant, kid." Ji Jun picked up his binoculars and looked at the cruise ship.

He understood Wang Dong's meaning; since the other party had brought the cruise ship to the base's gate, they must have the intention to join the base.

This is no longer the first day or two of the apocalypse; there are zombies, mutated plants and animals, and many more dangers that humans face on the road.

However, for six people to dare to set sail on a cruise ship, they must be either fools or incredibly skilled and daring.

The people on the cruise ship are definitely not stupid. Wang Dong probably thinks they are worried that the other party is too powerful and could be detrimental to the base.

"If they really had the idea of ​​entering the base, how could it possibly be detrimental to the base? Wang Dong is just worrying unnecessarily."

Wang Dong left; he had to take good care of the guests who had come to the base. Ji Jun was unaware that he and Wang Dong had already been spotted by Long Yangyang and her group.

"Brother Fu, one of those two level-two ability users has left, and the other is heading towards the gate. They're probably here to open it for us," Qiu Ling said.

It must be said that Qiu Ling's sensory ability is very useful. As long as it is within his sensory range, he can detect even invisible ability users.

"Creak—" The heavy gate of the base opened, and a tall man in camouflage walked out. He had a square face and looked honest and kind.

"Hello brothers, welcome to Qingdu Base. My name is Ji Jun, and I'm a patrolman at Qingdu Base. You can just call me Xiao Ji." Ji Jun greeted Long Yangyang and the others warmly, smiling to reveal eight big white teeth, which stood out against his dark skin.

"Please come in, everyone. It's been raining heavily these past two days. Although our Qingdu base is located on higher ground and wasn't flooded, the water level is still nearly three meters high. Right now, the base is busy reassuring the residents, so there aren't many people at the city gate. Please bring the boat in first."

Mentioning the ship, the third-place winner's smile became even more pronounced, and his gleaming white teeth were almost dazzling to Long Yangyang, who felt it was a real shame that the toothpaste commercials didn't hire him as their spokesperson before the apocalypse.

Shi Qing had the fish below the ship carry them inside, and after the cruise ship had completely entered the base, Ji Jun closed the gate.

"Brother, to be honest, this is the first time I've ever opened the main gate of the base. We usually open the side gates on both sides to receive the public."

Following the third-place finisher's words, everyone looked to the left and right, and sure enough, they found two side doors on either side of the heavy main gate. The side doors were also quite large, probably big enough for two vehicles to pass side by side.

"The gate to the Qingdu base is beyond our imagination; it's even big enough for a cruise ship to pass through," Yun Cangshu chimed in. He was now basically in charge of all communication with the group. Fu Muyu was aloof, Long Yangyang was a spoiled rich girl, and Bai Zhi didn't like to talk unless it was for work. The remaining group consisted of a child and two non-humans, none of whom were suitable.

The cruise ship they are currently on is a small ship that can only accommodate a maximum of 300 people, but it is still 7 meters high and 4 meters wide, which gives you an idea of ​​the height of the gate of the educated youth base.

"Moreover, the material of this door seems unfamiliar. Is it a new type of material?"

"Young man, you have a good eye! You look familiar. Have we met somewhere before?"

Long Yangyang: ······

She never expected that even in the apocalypse, she would still hear such an unoriginal way of striking up a conversation.

However, seeing that Yun Cangshu noticed the material of the gate, Ji Jun gave Yun Cangshu an approving look and said proudly, "Young brother, since you look familiar, let me tell you about the gate of our Qingdu base. The material of this gate is a new type of material unique to our base. The raw material is the blue-white stone from the back mountain of the base."

Through the combined efforts of fire-type ability users (for forging), earth-type ability users (for extracting the essence), and metal-type ability users (for smelting), a new material was developed and co-developed. Our base named this new material Lapis Lazuli.

Lapis lazuli is hard and can withstand attacks from zombies below level five. Once the base's ability users upgrade their powers, they will definitely develop an even harder form of lapis lazuli.

Lapis lazuli? Long Yangyang was shocked when she heard the material of the door. Wasn't this a new material that the Qingdu Base had only developed three years after the apocalypse? How come they have it now?

Before Long Yangyang could speak, Yun Cangshu had already asked about the lapis lazuli: "The Qingdu base is truly full of talented people. They were able to develop such a powerful material so quickly."

"Our Qingdu base is indeed full of talented people. Most importantly, our base has Miss Qiu Qingqing. Miss Qiu is a precognitive ability user. She is the one who discovered the blue-white stone on the back mountain of the base. The method of refining lapis lazuli was also predicted by Miss Qiu."

When the third-place finisher mentioned Miss Qiu, his eyes lit up and he looked on with admiration. He was clearly a die-hard fan of Qiu Qingqing.
