In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

Before going to sleep, Hongtang separated a wisp of her spiritual energy and covered the entire room.

If someone were to use their mental energy to investigate further, they would only perceive that the person inside is an ordinary, unremarkable person.

This is a new way of using mental power that Hongtang recently comprehended. It can create an illusion, allowing the other party to "see" everything that he wants to see.

Regarding the use of mental power, she has now mastered several methods, including perception, control, attack, shielding, and confusion. However, she has not yet grasped more advanced uses, such as reading or altering memories, and needs to experiment and practice more.

My sister once said that there are many branches of spiritual power, and the spiritual power that each person awakens is different, but generally they all have offensive capabilities.

Her situation is special, so her analysis will be more comprehensive.

In the early hours of the morning, Hongtang was fast asleep when she vaguely sensed something slipping into the room. Suddenly, she snapped awake, still pretending to be asleep with her eyes closed, but her mental energy had already enveloped the entire room.

Soon, the dark figure left after only surveying the living room once.

Hongtang smiled slightly and went back to sleep.

That's interesting. The other party can actually use shadows to transform into human form. No wonder they choose to act at night. What kind of superpower is that?

Regardless of what kind of superpower it is, it's still just an illusion created by one's own mental energy. I'm still the more powerful one.

Hongtang woke up early the next morning because of the heat.

Hago's fluffy tail was wrapped around his neck.

"Brother Ha, are you trying to kill your father with heatstroke, or are you trying to strangle him?"

With a thunderous roar, Hongtang immediately jerked Ha Ge out of his deep sleep and jumped back into his cat bed under the bed to continue sleeping.

"You unfilial son!" If she were like Brother Ha, encountering a superhuman like the one from last night, she would be killed in no time.

"Sigh, meeting Daddy is truly your good fortune." Hongtang sighed and began washing up and eating breakfast. There were still many things to do today.

Ha Ge: Meow~ So many shrimp and fish! Today I'm going to have a really good meal!

Today's breakfast included rice noodle rolls, shrimp dumplings, braised chicken feet, radish cake, egg tarts, and a bowl of pumpkin porridge.

Hongtang's belly was about to burst when Hago finally opened his eyes, sniffing the air. He looked at the empty bowls and plates on the table and meowed in dissatisfaction.

"What are you howling about? I saved some for you; you have roasted wolf meat!"

Hongtang took out the "roasted wolf" from her spatial storage. She had already processed it there, cutting it into pieces. Ha Ge ate four large bowls, which was almost half a wolf.

"Brother Ha, no one's going to take it from you, be careful not to overeat and upset your stomach. Daddy's going out for a walk later, are you going to stay inside, go back to your space, or come out with me?"

"Meow~" Ha Ge clung to Hong Tang's trouser leg with his front paws, indicating that he wanted to go out too.

"Okay, but you have to stay in the backpack, otherwise someone might catch you and eat you." Ha Ge had already shown his face in public yesterday, so Hong Tang was prepared to let it come out openly as well.

Before leaving, Hongtang put privacy film on the windows of the living room and both bedrooms to prevent outsiders from peeping.

They also took out a solar panel and a solar light and hung them in the living room. Electricity at the base is a bit expensive, so they wanted to save as much as possible.

Just before leaving, she realized she needed to change the lock. Who knew if the rental agency had a spare key? What if someone tried to break into her house...?

Sigh, living here is such a hassle. At this moment, Hongtang regretted coming to the base.

Following the route on the flyer, Hongtang wandered around the base at her leisure.

Perhaps because of the cold weather, people were walking in a hurry. However, they were all bundled up tightly, wearing whatever clothes they could find.

Soon, Hongtang was able to distinguish people's residential areas by their clothing. The people in the southern area were dressed the best, neatly and warmly, and these were mostly managers and wealthy and powerful people; the people in the eastern area were barely able to eat and stay warm, and these were people who had formal jobs or connections in the base.

The people in the North District are the worst off, dressed in the most tattered clothes, and generally live in communal dormitories. I heard that they are all ordinary people with no special skills. The base provides them with free food and lodging, but they are required to obey the base's arrangements and participate in various kinds of labor, with no or very little pay.

It seems that no matter what kind of world it is, there will always be different classes.

Hongtang suddenly felt a little glad that she had rented the South District yesterday; otherwise, her neat attire might have attracted attention and caused trouble at the base.

I also encountered many stalls along the way, selling all sorts of things: pots and pans, furniture and decorations, books and toys, and even used cosmetics.

Most people exchange for grain; very few exchange for points. You can choose anything with just one point.

It seems food is in short supply. But Hongtang believes the authorities will soon be able to research crops that can grow in extreme cold. After all, people were already able to cultivate seafood and vegetables in the desert before the apocalypse.

After wandering around for a long time, Hongtang didn't see anything that interested her, but she did get a lot of information.

For example, there are ways to earn points. You can go to the service hall to pick up missions, which usually require going outside the base and are quite dangerous. These missions are generally accepted by people with special abilities or teams with special abilities. You can also participate in construction within the base, such as building houses, reinforcing the base walls, clearing snow and garbage, etc. Another way is to exchange various resources for points.

Crystal cores can also be exchanged for points. However, there is no detailed information on how to do so. The people here don't seem to know much about zombies or crystal cores.

No wonder, the second base was originally a resort, far from the city center of Yangcheng. When the extreme heat came, many people came here to escape the heat. At that time, the government became alert and had already begun to build the base several months earlier.

When the torrential rains and zombie outbreak occurred, the authorities responded promptly, preventing any major chaos. Later, the extreme cold arrived, and the area was largely established, having also rescued at least 30% of Yangcheng's survivors.

Therefore, most of the survivors here have only heard of zombies and crystal cores, and have not seen many. However, the second base is close to the mountains, and there are many mutated animals and plants nearby, which they are quite familiar with.

"Looks like I really came to the wrong place." Hongtang sighed inwardly. It was all her fault for not asking Chen Jing and the others clearly yesterday. She should have just gone into the city.

"However, there is an agricultural research institute in the base, so it won't be a loss to take some seeds back with us." Thinking of what she had just heard someone say that an agricultural scientist was researching cold-resistant crops, Hongtang felt a little better.

"Sister, do you need help? I can do anything. I only need a small bag of compressed biscuits a day, not just one." A timid little girl blocked her way.

Hongtang looked closely and saw that the little girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. Her clothes were tattered and her face was dirty, making it impossible to see her features. Her eyes were also a little dull, and she had chilblains on her hands. She was short and thin, like a bean sprout.

If it weren't for sensing the energy fluctuations emanating from her, Hongtang would definitely have been overwhelmed with sympathy.

However, she still felt sorry for her. "Do you know how to shovel snow? It takes half a day to get a bag of compressed biscuits." She will participate in the voluntary snow removal work the day after tomorrow.

Asking her to do chores is out of the question.

So hiring a helper is a good idea.

The base rules don't say it's not allowed.
