Chapter 242 Two Months Later

The morning glow slowly rises, and the bright sunshine shines down, warming this land full of death and chaos.

In this doomsday full of dangers, there is also a safe and pure land.

A small but prosperous county town with people coming and going is one of the pure lands.

There are about 200,000 survivors in this small county town. The soldiers are armed with steel guns, tanks, artillery and other heavy weapons. The more powerful force is various ferocious insects and beasts, patrolling inside and outside the small county town to maintain the order of this small county town.

From time to time, a large shadow passes in the sky. It is a giant insect beast in the sky with a size of 100 meters, carrying a large number of survivors and landing in front of the small county town.

"Grandpa, is it really that good to leave the mountain base?"

In the host, a little boy of eight or nine years old clenched his hands tightly, tightly grasping the sleeve of a fifty-year-old man, with a look of nervousness and expectation.

"Why would Grandpa lie to you? When we get there, Grandpa will buy you some delicious candied haws."

The old man touched the little boy's head, and a smile appeared on his rough and old face. He said proudly: "Our underground base has been doing business with the Lishan base for so long, for two months. I am no stranger to the Lishan base. Their Lishan base is much more prosperous than our base. If I hadn't gotten to know the host management soldier and given him a few cigarettes, I wouldn't have been able to bring you here to see it."

"Candied haws!" The little boy didn't hear anything else clearly, but he remembered these four words clearly. His throat kept rolling up and down, and he looked at his grandfather with shining eyes, and hurriedly said: "Grandpa, is it the candied haws you brought back last time?"

"Of course, the candied haws I gave you that time were also bought at the Lishan base. No one in our base can make that thing."

The old man touched his beard and laughed, causing the nearby survivors to look at him sideways. Some of those who were familiar with the old man smiled and greeted him, saying that they brought their grandchildren to the Lishan base to see it!

The old man nodded with a smile. At this moment, the host's huge body shook slightly and landed underground. The survivors in the host shook their bodies and stood up skillfully.

The old man also packed his belongings and put them into a backpack full of patches. He took his grandson's hand and walked out of the flesh and blood hatch opened by the host and came to the wild.

More than ten meters high city walls, huge bunkers, expressionless soldiers holding guns, and ferocious insect beasts.

This is everything the little boy saw. Compared with the dark underground, the base here is undoubtedly more lively and the atmosphere is much more lively, which makes the little boy stare at it.

They are not the only ones who walked out of the host together. There are more than a hundred hosts landing in this place. 20,000 survivors walked out together, each carrying large and small bags. Under the arrangement of the soldiers from the mountain base, they gathered together and walked towards the city gate.

Passing through the bunker, passing through the soldiers' inspection, and finally passing through the city gate, the 20,000 survivors finally entered the city.

As soon as he entered the city, the little boy felt that his eyes were not enough.

The flow of people, the street stalls, the busy shops, the tempting aroma of restaurants, the women dressed up to attract customers, the merchants shouting hard, a lively scene slowly emerged, and was firmly imprinted in the little boy's eyes.

Only then did the little boy understand what his grandfather meant by prosperity.

Compared with the monotonous and lifeless underground base, the Lishan base is many times more prosperous. No wonder everyone in the underground base yearns for it.

"Brother Li, please take care of my grandson for me. I will go to provide spiritual power first." The old man asked a familiar soldier and handed the little boy to the other party for safekeeping.

"No problem, but you have to be quick. After absorbing the spiritual power, you only have one hour of activity time, and then you have to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it will delay the host's return. If you are left in the base at that time, if you are found by the mutant inspection team, I will be unlucky and implicated."

The soldier pulled the little boy over and gave the old man a warning. When he mentioned the inspection team, his face was afraid.

That was a monitoring team composed of mutants, who were specifically responsible for monitoring the soldiers' illegal behavior. Besides the ferocious insects and beasts, they were the most feared thing by the soldiers.

"Don't worry, this is not the first time I've come to the Lishan base, and I will definitely not delay the time."

The old man took out a cigarette with a reluctant look on his face, lit it for the soldier with a smile, and then quickly followed the team and headed for the ten mental nests distributed in the base.

Soon, more than ten minutes later, the old man with a tired and sleepy face came back again. After thanking the soldier, he took the curious little boy to visit the Lishan base.

The old man first spent a few taels of flour in the snack bar, gritted his teeth and bought a string of candied haws for his grandson to eat, and also bought a set of children's clothes for his grandson that did not fit well and looked shabby, but was cheaper.

The little boy was so happy that he kept calling grandpa, grandpa, and happily put on his 'new' clothes, ate candied haws happily, and happily followed his grandfather around.

When they arrived at a building, the old man led the little boy and walked into the building timidly.

The clothes of the people in this building were not expensive, but at least they were not dirty and torn like those of ordinary survivors. It was obvious at first glance that their identities were different from those of the survivors.

"These are the staff of the Lishan Base!" The old man explained secretly, and at the same time came to a counter, took out two tightly wrapped level 0 brain cores, handed them to the staff behind him, and said in a trembling voice: "This is what I got from killing zombies in the wild. Please ask how much food I can exchange for it."

"Two level 0 brain cores, our brain core exchange shop has detailed prices. Each level 0 brain core can be exchanged for level 3 rice. I can give you six kilograms of rice. Do you need to exchange it?"

The staff said, pointing to the words written under the counter, which indicated the food that each type of brain core crystal core can be exchanged for.

"Exchange! Exchange!" The old man nodded in agreement and handed the two brain cores to the staff. He happily walked out of the building with six kilograms of rice.

"Grandpa is so powerful that he can exchange so much food."

The little boy widened his eyes. This was the most food he had ever seen.

"Grandpa is not powerful at all. This is all exchanged for life."

The old man touched the little boy's head and said helplessly.

The two zombies almost swallowed him. If he hadn't fought hard and used the terrain to kill the zombies, he wouldn't be able to see his grandson now.

"I don't want Grandpa to fight!" The little boy hugged the old man's hand tightly, tears flashing in his eyes, and choked and cried.

Grandpa is the only relative of the little boy in the world. If the old man died, it would be difficult for him to grow up in this cruel apocalypse.

"Grandpa will always accompany you to grow up." The old man pulled the little boy and walked out of the city, saying, "It's almost an hour, and we should go back to the underground base."

"Grandpa, can I come here again in the future?"

"Yes, when Grandpa saves enough money, I will take you here to play again."

As the old man said this, his face suddenly changed, and a large number of soldiers took to the street to disperse the crowd and separate a wide passage.

In the passage, a young man rode a little girl on his neck, taking the little girl in and out of the surrounding shops, buying all kinds of delicious food for the little girl, making the little girl laugh.

The shop owners around all smiled cautiously and did not dare to ask the young man for money. Instead, the little girl offered whatever she saw to him, with a respectful and fawning look on her face.

"Grandpa, who are they?" The little boy kept swallowing his saliva, watching the little girl eat with envy, and felt hungry again.

"That is the leader of the Lishan Base, the tyrant Wang Jin! He is a super strong man who is stronger and more powerful than our leader Jiang Zhengqing, and controls the lives of more than 200,000 survivors in the Lishan Base.

The old man took a deep breath and spoke slowly with a heavy face, full of respect and fear. Wang Jin's brutality has been resounding throughout the two bases.
