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

The group dressed again and walked out of the inspection room. The long-haired man outside the door took the registration form from the inspector and glanced at it.

Then he pointed to Ye Xiao and the other two, "The three of you can go to the quarantine area. This kid is not qualified."

He led Ye Xiao and the other two, preparing to walk along the corridor, when Chen Ge and the others hurriedly caught up.

The long-haired man turned around and glared at him coldly, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Qirui immediately chuckled twice, then quickly winked at Chen Ge.

Chen Ge immediately understood and tossed the cigarette pack with only two cigarettes left in his pocket to Zhou Qirui.

Zhou Qirui grinned and shoved a cigarette into the long-haired man's hand. "Big brother, have a smoke."

The long-haired man opened the cigarette pack and glanced at it. Although this kind of thing wasn't rare in the base, it was still expensive.

He unceremoniously pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, his cold eyes relaxing considerably.

Zhou Qirui chuckled and lit the other person's cigarette with a lighter, saying:

"What's the captain's name?"

The long-haired man exhaled a puff of smoke. "I am Yang Ke, the captain in charge of the base's outpost guards."

Ye Xiaochong smiled and said, "Brother Yang, those are our companions. They want to ask you a few questions first."

The long-haired man glanced at Chen Ge and his group, who were stopped a few steps away, and then looked at Ye Xiao.

Seeing that Chen Ge and the others were all staring at Ye Xiao, looking as if they were following his lead, they immediately noticed something amiss.

He raised an eyebrow in surprise, looked at Ye Xiao, and sized him up. "Oh, not bad, kid. You're the team leader?"

Ye Xiao smiled and nodded, "The brothers trust me, Brother Yang. These brothers of mine also plan to stay at the base."

“We have the tools and the skills. My buddy here used to work in auto repair.”

As he spoke, Ye Xiao patted Liang Kai on the shoulder, "We plan to open a car modification shop in the base."

Zhou Qirui chimed in, "That's right, we heard that the base in Gaotang is quite good, so we came all the way here."

“We all plan to stay here for a while. None of us are interested in going outside; it’s too dangerous outside.”

"I was just thinking, it's nothing, it would be nice to get together with my buddies."

He smiled and said nice things to Yang Ke.

“Brother Yang, you’re clearly no ordinary person. We’re thinking of renting a place in the base. My brothers can repair cars and live here. Could you give us your opinion and help us choose a place?”

He pointed to the cigarette in Yang Ke's mouth, "If we ever get our hands on this good stuff, we'll definitely send some back to Brother Yang."

Upon hearing this, Yang Ke's face relaxed into a smile, clearly indicating that Zhou Qirui's words were quite pleasing to him.

Moreover, he knew very well that modifying and refurbishing cars was a lucrative business.

At this moment, Liang Kai interjected, "Besides, if Brother Yang has any problems with your car, you can also contact us."

Yang Ke was clearly satisfied with Zhou Qirui and Liang Kai's cooperation. He exhaled a smoke ring, glanced at Chen Ge and the others, and said:

"You can go to the inner district and pick a spot. Do you have any seeds? I can pick a place for you that's close to the quarantine zone."

"Do you work? Or will they provide your food?"

Yang Ke glanced at the group and said, "If you can take care of their meals, you can stay in the first isolation area. Of course, the cost will be higher, but your asymptomatic activities will still be limited to the isolation area."

I didn't expect the management here to be so strict. Asymptomatic people are really treated like they're in prison. But it's good that we can live together.

And now that we're already in, there's no turning back. Who could have imagined the rainy season would come so suddenly?

Ye Xiao nodded, indicating that he understood. "That's good!"

Yang Ke nodded, "Okay, then you can come with me to quarantine zone one."

Ye Xiao, Zhou Qirui, and Liang Kai followed Yang Ke into a jeep, with Chen Ge and the others following behind in their car.

After passing through the gate, the car drove along the main road in the middle.

After passing through a building that resembled a city gate, the road was lined with Western-style houses that exuded a strong sense of history.

Rain pattered against the car window, and occasionally one or two people with umbrellas could be seen through the rain curtain outside.

Some of the villas had their doors open, with wooden plaques hanging above the entrances, the words of which were barely visible in the rain.

The car came to a three-way intersection. Ahead was a Western-style bank, but it had been replaced by a huge plaque with the word "Guild" engraved on it.

Through the car window, you can see the figures of people moving around inside.

The car drove further in, passed another checkpoint, and then stopped in front of a building.

Yang Ke, in the driver's seat, said, "This is the inner district. That's the registration office. You can choose a vacant storefront on this street as your storefront. If you want to stay in the first quarantine zone, you'll have to pay more."

"About six seed nuclei should be enough."

Six cores? Ye Xiao asked hesitantly, "Would two of the larger fusion monsters work?"

Upon hearing that there was a fusion monster's seed core, Yang Ke nodded without hesitation, "Of course, it would be even better if we had that."

"Let's go downstairs and register."

As he spoke, Yang Ke immediately opened the door and got out of the car, quickly rushing through the rain and into the building inside.

It was a Western-style church building with a strong Gothic style. Ye Xiao and the others ran into the building, and Chen Ge and the others also hurriedly got out of the car and followed.

The church remains almost exactly as it was, its sacred and solemn atmosphere seeming out of place in this apocalyptic world.

Yang Ke led them to a long table on the side, behind which sat a middle-aged woman wearing glasses.

Despite her serious demeanor and tight-fitting cheongsam, she still exudes charm.

Yang Ke shook his wet hair and winked at the other woman, "Miss Zhao, these few are going to check into the base."

The woman surnamed Zhao patted the raindrops off her body with disgust and glanced at Ye Xiao and his group.

Her voice sounded somewhat cold. "Look at this."

As she spoke, she slammed a set of rules onto the table, and Yang Ke explained the situation to her from the side.

"These three are asymptomatic."

Upon hearing that the person was asymptomatic, the woman raised her eyebrows, but quickly showed a hint of unease.

"Can you solve your own food problem? If so, that would be best. The rainy season is coming, and the cost of feeding you will be quite high."

"Don't blame me if we have to work overtime."

"It would be best if you had companions to support."

Yang Ke nodded, "They live in quarantine zone one, have companions, and will also have a shop."

"Shopfront? What type?"

"Car repair and modification!"

The woman pulled out a layout map, pointed to a spot near the end of the street, and tapped it.

“This one, address 503, the road is wide, the storefront is big enough, it was originally a warehouse, it's enough for you to use as a storefront.”

"A total of 6 seed cores, to be delivered now."

The woman patted the box next to her, gesturing for Ye Xiao and the others to take their things.

Ye Xiao nodded and said to Yang Ke, "Brother Yang, wait a minute, I'm going to get something from the car."

Yang Ke nodded, and Ye Xiao then led Chen Ge out, pretending to be casual.
