The apocalyptic livestream attracted a lot of haters, alarming the government.

"Big sister, do you know much about this Gaotang base?"

With the medicine, the woman lowered her guard against the two men considerably.

After putting the child to sleep, she came out and started talking about the Gaotang base next door.

Are you all planning to go to the base?

Ye Xiao and Zhou Qirui nodded. Zhou Qirui smiled and said, "Yeah, it's too unsafe outside. We want to find a base to stay in."

"By the way, what's your name, eldest sister?"

"Just call me Sister Lin."

She sighed, looking slightly embarrassed, and said:

"Actually, I don't know much about what's inside either, since I've never been inside."

"However, I heard that if someone is asymptomatic, they will be placed in a separate area where no one else is allowed to enter."

Zhou Qirui looked surprised. "Huh? Isn't that the same as going to jail?"

Sister Lin smiled and said, "But at least it's safe. I heard there's a place to live, food to eat, and safety is guaranteed."

"However, I need to work six or seven hours a day and donate blood once a week."

Ye Xiao became interested in the job Lin Jie mentioned. "Job? What kind of job?"

Sister Lin frowned. "It seems to be a factory that specializes in producing and processing those kinds of nuclear guns, but this factory here isn't very big. I heard there's a big factory over at the Red Maple Base."

Ye Xiao continued, "What are the conditions for entering the base?"

Sister Lin nodded, "Yes, if there are fewer than 5 people going in, they have to pay one seed as a toll; if there are more than 5, they have to pay two seeds."

"However, I heard that if you bring an asymptomatic person, you can go in directly."

Zhou Qirui was slightly surprised. "Then why didn't you find someone to take you in?"

Sister Lin shook her head helplessly, "It's no use getting in. To get residency, you have to rent a house and you need 5 ordinary seed kernels every month."

"If you don't have a place to live, you'll be kicked out."

"Those who can live there are basically adventure teams. This base belongs to the Tang family. They were originally wealthy merchants in this area, owning supermarkets and many other businesses and factories."

Ye Xiao understood; no wonder there was such a large base here.

After chatting with Sister Lin for a while, Ye Xiao and Zhou Qirui returned to the second floor.

Old Han had already placed the baked rice he had prepared on the table, and A Zhao and the others were sitting to the side waiting for the two of them.

Ye Xiao walked over and sat down in the empty seat. "Let's eat."

Sister Lin wisely stayed on the third floor and never came down.

After finishing their meal, Lao Han and Chen Ge went back to their bedroom to rest, while Ye Xiao, Zhou Qirui, and Liang Kai sat on the sofa in the living room.

"Brother Xiao, what's wrong?" Liang Kai asked, noticing Ye Xiao's furrowed brows and apparent deep concern.

Ye Xiao sighed and said, "I'm considering whether or not to go into the base."

Liang Kai was somewhat surprised. Hadn't they agreed to go to the base? Now that they'd arrived, why hadn't they gone in yet?

Seeing that the fans in the live stream were all full of questions, Ye Xiao said:

“I don’t really want to have my blood drawn, and there’s not much freedom inside. I think this place is pretty good, Sister Lin. Why don’t we stay here for now and see how things go?”

Liang Kai and Zhou Qirui exchanged a glance, their faces falling.

For the two of them, although there was no freedom in the base, at least it was safer than outside.

They've only been here a few days, and they haven't had a single day of peace.

Zhou Qirui thought for a moment and said, "Brother Xiao, why don't you take us in?"

Ye Xiao raised an eyebrow at Zhou Qirui, "What? Do you want to go to jail?"

Liang Kai curled his lip, "Isn't it just getting blood drawn at work? It's no different from going to work every day before."

"I'd be willing to go to jail even if it meant just getting through these 30 days safely!"

He glanced at Ye Xiao hesitantly, "This, it's too dangerous outside!"

[Hitler: Two cowards]

[Black framed photo: Safety is the top priority right now; it's safest to bring them into the base.]

[The Heart of Isaac: These two are such cowards]

[Slurp a plum: I think they have a point.]

[Flying pictures everywhere: Nonsense, you'd be a coward too.]

[Mental Health Rehabilitation Center: I'm a coward, I'd definitely go to the center.]

[Slurp a plum: I actually think what they said makes sense]

[Big Cousin: We've been watching some really exciting things these past few days, but it's terrifying that they have to encounter these things every day.]

……

Ye Xiao frowned and glanced at the live stream panel.

"Our fan count is almost 6, and the next fan giveaway is coming up soon. The fan count has grown so fast in the early stages."

Ye Xiao stroked his chin. "I'm considering whether I should just take action against them first."

Tsk, Ye Xiao clicked his tongue in utter frustration, "Can't this system give me something useful? Can't it stop giving me nothing but bad luck every time!"

Upon hearing Ye Xiao's words on the live broadcast, everyone in the huge command center perked up.

On the huge LED screen that almost took up the entire wall, Ye Xiao's live broadcast was playing, and the login name was "Black Frame".

In front of the screen are multiple command consoles, on which are placed several computers, as well as several video cameras and still cameras.

Because they couldn't record the screen directly from the computer, they had to resort to illegal recording to capture the live stream footage.

Behind the main command post sat several young men in civilian clothes and several middle-aged men in military uniforms, whose medals indicated their high status.

The staff member in front of the monitoring console turned around and shouted towards the command center:

"Director Liao, Ye Xiao is preparing for the next teleportation draw."

At this moment, the director of the Special Defense Bureau and several commanders were carefully watching the images processed from the live broadcast on the computer in front of them.

Several images of terrifying monsters, a huge orange-red seed core, and several images of strangely shaped pistols and weapons from various angles and of different types.

Enlarged images of the modifications under the car's hood, along with various annotations.

And a large, enlarged photo of a black chest, labeled with various explanations such as "Alien," "Seed Core Mutation Zone," etc.

Liao, a middle-aged man holding a teacup and dressed in a Zhongshan suit, asked the commander beside him, who was in military uniform and had half-gray hair:

"Old Xu, what do you say?"

Commander Xu, known as Old Xu, let out a breath, nodded, and said:

"Whether from the perspectives of energy, medicine, or technology, it is quite valuable for research. Let our people prepare."

Director Liao blew on the tea leaves in his teacup and waved to the group of people in front of the computers in the command center.

"Get the haters group online and try to get a spot in the lottery!"

Commander Xu was puzzled by this, "Can't we just teleport directly?"

Director Liao shook his head helplessly, "No, it'll just have to wait and see who among these people will be the lucky one!"
