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

A large number of night wanderers, attracted by the convoy approaching from behind, were already closing in on the base gate.

Those refugees who had left earlier had already fled back into the building, while those still outside, clinging to a sliver of hope, were now howling and scattering in all directions.

Screams filled the air as members of the adventure caravan leaned out, guns raised, and fired at the night wanderers who were attacking them.

Some, still clinging to a sliver of hope, remained blocking the base's main gate, overjoyed at the prospect of it opening.

The door, which had been tightly shut and refused to budge, suddenly roared open.

The refugees rushed in excitedly, only to be met with a hail of bullets.

Their smiles didn't even have a second longer before freezing completely on their faces.

As his frail body collapsed, several guards who came out of the gate used shovels to push him to both sides of the base, making way for the car.

One vehicle after another drove into the base, taking advantage of the night wanderers attacking the scattering crowd, the vehicles followed closely behind and drove into the base's heavy gates.

The gate was reinforced with heavy metal, and the car drove along the street.

Gunshots echoed from the city wall. Liang Kai's car followed the car in front for several dozen meters before stopping in front of a gate.

Through the rain, several people ran out of a house on one side and waved to the people in the car, signaling them to get out and check.

Liang Kai turned off the engine, and everyone got out of the car.

The rain outside was heavy. Ye Xiao reached out and pulled up the hood of his coat. The group followed the signs into a house on the side in the cold rain.

The sound of the pattering rain was kept out of the house, and there was a payment window on one side.

Those inside shouted to those outside: "One seed for groups of 5 or fewer, two seeds for groups of 5 or more."

The people in the convoy ahead were dressed similarly to Chen Ge and his group, all in dark gray-black clothes without any bright colors. Their clothes were made of durable materials and looked worn.

Their dark, rough skin suggests they are often out and about, but their robust physique indicates they are not doing too badly.

As the group paid their fees at the window, Ye Xiao glanced at the two people sitting at the other table.

Those two were the same guys who had just told them to get out of the car for inspection. They didn't have matching clothes; they were similar to the adventurers, except they all wore matching name tags on their chests.

Ye Xiao raised his hand in that direction and asked, "Um, can we get toll-free if we bring asymptomatic individuals?"

Upon hearing the words "asymptomatic individuals," the people at the window and those entering from behind all turned to look at Ye Xiao and his group.

A young man, who looked to be in his thirties, hurriedly stepped through the door. He was wearing a jacket.

He had shoulder-length hair, which was now wet and pulled back behind his head.

As soon as he entered, the thick beard on his chin trembled as he opened and closed his mouth.

"You just mentioned asymptomatic individuals? Which ones?"

Ye Xiao raised his hand and pointed to himself, Zhou Qirui, and Liang Kai, "The three of us."

Then his finger swept over Chen Ge and the others, "We're together, can we get a toll waiver?"

The long-haired man glanced at Ye Xiao and his group, then pointed to the room inside, saying, "That's good. Let's go for the routine check first."

"Asymptomatic individuals, please proceed this way!"

There are two doors in front, one on the left and one on the right.

On the right is the examination room for those who have undergone mutation, and on the left is the room for asymptomatic individuals.

Ye Xiao and his two companions led a boy named Yangyang into the room from the left.

The person in charge of the inspection was dressed very thoroughly, wearing a mask and gloves, and covered with a plastic film, so only his eyes were visible.

He stood behind a table and first had Ye Xiao and the others register one by one.

It's nothing more than some basic information, such as name and age, and another item is professional skills.

After registering, the guy wearing a mask and gloves pointed to an empty space to the side.

A muffled voice came from inside the mask, "Take off your clothes."

Huh? They're all taken off?

Ye Xiao glanced at the live stream comments floating on the side and his eye twitched violently.

The live stream chat exploded instantly, with a bunch of people gloating and making a fuss.

[Little Green Fox: Oh! Is this something I can watch without paying?]

[Three Foxes: Yo yo yo, our Brother Xiao is going to give out some perks!]

[Night Rain and Evil Moon: Take it off, take it off, take it off]

[Pharaoh Elden: Strip!]

[Milk and Egg Not Bland: Take it off, take it off!]

……

Seeing the screen filled with the word "take off," Ye Xiao's eyes twitched violently. He had no interest in running naked in front of a group of people.

He glanced at the person behind the table. "Um, do I need to take off my underwear?"

"Need not!"

Upon receiving a positive answer, Ye Xiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai had already taken off their shirts. One had a fair and tender upper body with only one abdominal muscle, while the other was so thin that his ribs were visible.

Lin Jie's son, Yangyang, silently took off his clothes. Due to malnutrition, the bones of his spine were clearly visible on his body.

Ye Xiao took off his hoodie and sweatpants. He was tall and muscular, with strong and powerful leg muscles. His body muscles were not exaggerated, but he had six-pack abs.

As a sports student, my muscles aren't as exaggerated as those of people in the gym.

Ye Xiao stripped down to only his underwear, and the live chat erupted in cheers.

[Little Green Fox: Wow! This figure, I'm in love!]

[Fan Te Xi: Honey, honey, I love you!]

[Milk Egg Not Bland: Oh my god, there's a male character here, how scary!]

[SilverMoon315: That's it? What a pathetic figure!]

[Me, Mouse: With a figure like that, don't show off.]

[Cosmic Light: I have eight-pack abs, but these muscles aren't enough to impress me.]

[Lin Daiyu uproots a willow tree: Too pale, no interest in it, everyone has muscles like that.]

[The Heart of Isaac: This is really strange lately. Where did this batch of new fans come from? And they're all haters.]

[Liangliang is me: I don't know, the promotional post was deleted after it was posted, I only promoted it in a few groups]

[Three Foxes: It seems like they suddenly appeared in the last few days.]

[Falling into the Sea to Become an Immortal: Who cares about them? They'll behave themselves once they're chosen.]

……

The inspectors only glanced at the whole body to check for wounds, and then looked at the chest. After confirming that there were no wounds, they let Ye Xiao and the others put their clothes back on.

He pointed to a handwritten notice posted on the wall and said:

"This is our base's policy for asymptomatic individuals. Take a look."

Ye Xiao, Zhou Qirui, and the other two immediately looked up at the notice above, according to what the notice said.

Asymptomatic individuals are not allowed to leave the base and must live in a designated quarantine area.

The facility will provide basic accommodation for asymptomatic individuals, including rooms, water for showering, and guaranteed hygiene.

However, those without symptoms need to have their blood drawn once a week.

Asymptomatic individuals are required to work in exchange for food.
