Liu Hui finally proposed! All our help was worth it.

I've been with Xixi for almost two years, and it took me so long to finally muster the courage to take this step. What a coward!

Let's clear out the ■ Theater for their wedding. Moon City hasn't had a wedding in a long time, so there will definitely be a lot of people coming to join in the fun. Maybe even the city lord will come and have a drink.

I hope we can all live happily.

After hearing Miao Yin's words, Hu Hai's expression turned serious: "You mean, the things in the armory are about to be released?"

“I think you should know that mutants can devour each other, right?” Miao Yin said.

"Of course I know, but when mutants reach the Yellow Crystal level, their own kind will also become their food. The more they devour, the stronger they become."

"I think you know better than I do how many people were originally in the armory."

The Qingshui Armory is a place that integrates research and development and storage. In addition to regular security and logistics personnel, it also houses a large number of technical backbones and management personnel.

The number of officially registered personnel alone is as high as four thousand, not to mention those whose names are deliberately hidden.

Furthermore, mutants can not only grow by devouring life forms, but they can also merge with surrounding objects and energy.

In addition, this is an enclosed space.

Miao Yin leaned back in her chair and said, "I believe there are quite a few mutants in that arsenal who can poison other ability users in an instant. What if they devour each other?"

Hu Hai sighed heavily: "Raising Gu..."

"The reason Dream City opened the armory is to prevent any unforeseen events. If one day there really is such a creature that devours all its kind except itself, how far will it grow?"

It's not about complacently opening Pandora's box, but about nipping danger in the bud.

"I understand that principle, but can we really afford the price?"

All surveillance was cut off on the day the apocalypse began, and now no one knows what's going on inside the armory.

The only information everyone received was that one-minute and fifteen-second video and the corpse of the superpowered individual.

"The armory is surrounded by mountains and the Qingshui River, and there is only one main road leading there. It just so happens that Moon City is on this road. If something happens, what will happen to Moon City? What will happen to the people? Who will take responsibility?"

Hu Hai subconsciously touched his pocket; he wanted to smoke again, but when he saw that there were two young men opposite him, he withdrew his hand and put it aside.

"That's something the Dream City army should be discussing with you; building the base's defense network is not within my purview."

Dream City will not abandon Moon City; they would have brought a support team to stay here anyway.

Miao Yin continued, "There is never a foolproof plan in this world, only a constant process of checking for omissions and filling gaps. If you are worried that the guys from the armory will come out and attack Moon City, then think of a way to kill them before they destroy the base."

"Everyone says that, but in reality, which attack didn't result in countless deaths and injuries?" Hu Hai shook his head; he was the one who knew these things best.

"Why be so pessimistic? If you can build a Moon City, you can certainly defend it," Miao Yin said patiently.

"At that time, I will leave a few of my teammates behind, just in case such a situation really occurs, they can still help you."

Yan Shuzhou looked up at her, hesitated, then silently turned back without saying a word.

"You're going to keep people here? Aren't you worried about not having enough manpower for the armory?" Hu Hai asked doubtfully.

He had heard that her team was full of people with superpowers. Although he hadn't met them yet, he figured they must all be top-notch. If he could keep a few of them, it would be all the better for Yuecheng.

"It's alright, we still have people from Dream City. Several of my teammates are all ability users, so staying here will be beneficial for you too," Miao Yin said, as if she had read his mind. "What if what you're worried about happens?"

"...Alright, I'll discuss this with the Dream City army when they arrive."

Hu Hai didn't say much. Rather than continuing to consider the issue of going to the armory, he was now more interested in finding a way to make Moon City safer.

The population of Moon City is now far greater than it was at the beginning. Even if they were to flee and find a new base, they wouldn't be able to find another place that could accommodate so many people.

In addition, everyone has become accustomed to the quiet life in the city, and no one is willing to abandon their home and wander outside for an unknown possibility.

He couldn't lead that many people, and casualties would inevitably be unavoidable on the way.

They won't abandon this base unless absolutely necessary.

"Let's stop here then. By the way, today is Moon City's birthday. There will be some events on the streets. You can participate and relax," Hu Hai said.

"festival?"

“Yes, most of the people in the base are locals from Moon City. Birthday is a special festival here, and it’s held every year. You can even drink Moon Demon Wine, which is a local specialty,” Hu Hai enthusiastically introduced to them.

Miao Yin stood up: "Then I'll have to participate. I haven't participated in any festivals since the apocalypse. See you next time."

Yan Shuzhou followed behind her, and the two nodded to Hu Hai before leaving the office.

The door closed, and Hu Hai's relaxed expression vanished. He looked out the window and sighed.

"Let's hold the festival for a few more years."

……

The defense of Moon City is very easy, perhaps because most of the people working here were originally police officers, so even thieves have to think twice before they dare to offend them.

When she reached the top of the stairs, Miao Yin glanced up.

According to the diary, the five floors above this point, which were originally the archives management room, were the warehouses where Moon City stored crystal cores.

Previously, all the crystal cores were distributed to expand the base, and it's unknown how many crystal cores are still in this management room.

"Sister, is there anything on this?" Yan Shuzhou asked softly when she saw her stop.

Miao Yin leaned close to his ear and told him the location of the management office and what was stored inside.

Yan Shuzhou blinked his long eyelashes, not asking how the other person knew, but simply memorizing the information.

Turning their gaze away, the two naturally walked downstairs and quickly left the police station via the same route they had come from.
