Respect the strong (4)(1/2)

Living and working in peace? These four words are really weird in the end of the world. Chu Xiang was tempted with a hint of curiosity and turned to them and said, "We will go tomorrow."

After Chu Xiang finished speaking, he entered the villa. The two outside the door hesitated for a moment and went to the villa opposite.

Chu Xiang stood by the window and watched them pass by, narrowing his eyes slightly. If it was just an ordinary random invitation, why should he keep an eye on it here? It seems that the leader of the base was interested in their strength and did not want to miss them. He just didn't know if this kind of solicitation was purely kind.

The chaotic times are most likely to inspire dark things in human hearts. Chu Xiang expected the worst situation and went to the master bedroom of the villa to find three pieces of jade jewelry for the hostess, and used spiritual power to carve a defensive array on it.

It was already late at night when Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng finished their practice. They didn’t eat for a day and were so hungry that they were roaring. They immediately went to the kitchen to get some food.

Chu Xiang leaned against the kitchen door and told the story of the nearby base.

Xiao Jin said: "Since they sent people to follow us, it may be difficult for us to leave if we don't go. Why not go and explore. No matter whether the leader is an enemy or a friend, he will not deal with us as soon as he comes up. If there is a strong enemy, we still have time to run away."

Chu Xiang nodded, "I think so too." She raised the necklace made of jewelry, "For you, the amulet, don't take it off."

Xiao Cheng took the necklace and saw the complicated patterns on the pendant, and said in surprise: "What is this? Could it be that you carved it? How did you carve it?"

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "You can practice hard and you can carve it in the future, but the formation is difficult. If you carve it wrong, it may explode. Wear it quickly."

Xiao Jin didn't say anything, but smiled when he put on the necklace. He could feel that Chu Xiang accepted them bit by bit and treated them as his own. This kind of fate is very strange. Some people have been together for more than ten years, but their feelings may be dull. Some people can have deep feelings like comrades in their backs in just a few days, which depends on whether they are in harmony and what they have experienced.

The three of them discussed the code and eyes, so that they could cooperate when they were in danger, and then practiced for another night. Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng had the first time to come into contact with cultivation, as if they had obtained some new toys, and were full of enthusiasm and wished they were practicing every second.

All their crystal cores were used up. When they set out to the base, they joked: "Go to the base to see if there are any advanced zombies. The crystal cores of advanced zombies are treasures."

Xiao Jin drove, glanced at the rearview mirror, raised his eyebrows and said, "They followed, and they were really staring at him."

"Be careful when you arrive at the base." Chu Xiang lowered his head and polished the dagger, and said what he told him casually, without looking afraid.

Xiao Cheng wondered, "Since we are worried, isn't it over if we don't go? Why are you two going? It's fun?"

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "We can't always avoid being a lone man, right? It's hard to meet living people. If you encounter so many, you still need to communicate and not be out of touch with society."

"It's just... still society? Who cares whether we are disconnected?" Xiao Cheng complained for a few words and suddenly realized it. "Oh, you mean, don't be like those people in the camp, who are confused all day long and don't understand the situation of the end of the world. We need to collect all kinds of news from other people, right?"

Xiao Jin whistled, "Brother, you have become smarter. It seems that practicing can improve your intelligence. By the way, remember not to mention cultivation at any time, do you know? Anyone asks that it is improved by absorbing crystal cores."

"I know, am I that stupid?" Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes, found a few guns and loaded bullets and handed them.

The base is not far away, and it takes about half an hour to drive. The base was originally a villa area, and it was built with heavy objects such as cars and sacks. There were always people patrolling and guarding with guns on the wall. The door was closed tightly and no zombies could enter. It looked like a very safe place.

Following Chu Xiang and his men and women, one man and the other jumped out of the car. The man ran to them and smiled and said, "You are really here. It's great. I promise that you will never want to leave again after entering the base. This is really a paradise. Let's take you in."

After saying that, he waved to the people on the wall and shouted, "These three are the leaders' guests."

The person on the wall nodded, made a gesture to the inside, and the door opened immediately. The man said, "Sorry, most of the bases are ordinary people and can't fight. The weapons may make them very uncomfortable. There are no zombies here, which is very safe. Please give the weapons to the base for safekeeping first. Don't worry, if you want to leave, everything will be returned to you."

Xiao Cheng frowned and pressed the car door, "What do you mean? You want to take away all our supplies? What is the reason?"

The man smiled and said, "You will know when you go in and see. The base is managed in a unified manner. Every day, the canteen is free to deliver food, and everyone can receive supplies for free. In this way, everyone will be very happy and feel very secure..."

Before Xiao Cheng finished listening, he sneered, "This kind of idealism is a scam? It's the end of the world, and the loss is rampant. Is this a playhouse? Who thought of the rules?"

The smile on the man's face immediately disappeared, "The leader is our great benefactor, bringing us together to live hard. If he had been a great philanthropist in the past, why would you ridicule so rudely?"

Xiao Jin winked at Xiao Cheng and said, "Sorry, my brother just has a different idea from you, and he is rude. However, we took the risk to collect the things in this car, and I'm afraid we can't leave it to strangers for safekeeping. This base... we won't go in and leave."

Chu Xiang got into the car first and started the car without saying a word. The man hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jin and said, "Wait, wait a moment, I'll go and talk to the leader to see what the leader said. I'm here, don't rush to leave. We really have no malice. We just appreciate your skills and hope you can stay. Will you wait a moment? I'll be back soon!"

The man called two people to come and take care of them and ran into the base quickly. Chu Xiang and Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng exchanged glances unintentionally. Xiao Cheng lit a cigarette and strolled at the open door while smoking and strolling, in fact, observing the situation inside the base.

Xiao Jin leaned on the car casually, looking at the environmental layout outside the base, and had several routes to leave in his mind.

Chu Xiang determined how many patrol people were there in every direction of the wall, how many guns were there, where was the dead corner, and where could they hide.

When the leader came out, they had already observed everything they could and stood together again. The leader was a strong man in his thirties, with a strong aura but a kind smile. When he saw them, he shook hands with them enthusiastically.

"Hello, my name is Peng Peng, and I am the leader of this base." He saw Chu Xiang obviously amazed, and then smiled as usual, "I heard about you two days ago. The three of you actually cleared the entire villa area over there. It's so amazing! I admire you."

Chu Xiang smiled and said, "Mr. Peng is polite. Two friends said that Mr. Peng invited us to visit the base. We came here just in time. Unexpectedly, we had to hand over supplies and weapons. This is probably a bit inappropriate. After all, we are still very unfamiliar with each other and have no such trust. I think we won't go in at this base."

Peng Peng was a little surprised that it was the head of Chu Xiang. Seeing Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng standing by Chu Xiang on the left and right without any objection, he had a new assessment of Chu Xiang's strength and smiled heartily: "Rules are dead, people live. I like to make friends the most, and our base also likes to recruit strong people the most. To be honest, we are not trying to steal yours, but I have many ordinary people here who are powerless. I want to protect their safety and not let outsiders bring weapons in at will."

He smiled, "But I sincerely invite you to visit the base. Why not do this? This car is locked and put it here. I promise that my people will not touch you. You can drive away at any time when you leave. How about it? Go in and take a look. Maybe you will like this place and be willing to stay. In this world, a stable life is more important than anything else, right?"

This kind of thing is to distrust each other, it depends on how individuals choose. Chu Xiang nodded gently and put the gun and dagger into the car first. "I hope Mr. Peng is an honest person and I am honored to visit your base. My name is Chu Xiang."

"Miss Chu, please." Peng Peng took her into the base, and everyone looked over curiously. Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng put out their weapons and followed Chu Xiang, one looking left and the other looking right, observing the memory base environment without a trace.

The door slowly closed behind them, just through one door, as if it separated the Apocalypse and the Ancient Home. In the base, there were children chasing and fighting, old people gathered together to chat, men repairing things, and women drying clothes.

It is such a peaceful and pleasant scenery, which can easily make people obsessed with it. How wonderful is it to have such a comfortable base in the end of the world?

However, Chu Xiang and the other two who had fought for life and death outside knew that this was just a beautiful bubble. Once many zombies surrounded him or a team of people attacked him, the base would suffer great losses.

Besides, when collecting materials, there will always be dangers. Who would be willing to risk their lives to find things to support others? It also needs to be distributed fairly! The nearby materials will be used up soon. Where can I find things to support these people at that time? These are all hidden dangers of the base, but everyone is confused by this dream, and in the end they are just cannon fodder.

A beautiful girl immediately ran over when she saw them and said excitedly: "It's you! My name is Xiao Ai. I have been hiding in the villa area in the east before. Thank you for killing all the zombies there, otherwise I wouldn't have the chance to come to the base. Are you here to join the base too? This place is very good, it's simply a paradise on earth, welcome you!"

Chu Xiang smiled and nodded, "It seems you have adapted well."

"Of course, Brother Peng is very powerful. He can protect so many people and let everyone live a good life. Although he has to do some work every day, it is a very simple job. I am so lucky to be here." Xiao Ai said to Peng Peng sincerely, "Thank you Brother Peng, I won't bother you, I'll go to do things."

Peng Peng smiled and said, "Your matter is what Xiao Ai told us. She seems to admire you very much. The little girl was hungry when she came and was very afraid of people. She has returned to normal in the past two days with everyone's concern and has adapted to it. I know that you have experienced a lot outside, and the life of fighting and killing is easy to make people tired, as if they will never see the end. It is different here. I hope to restore my life before the end of the world in the base. This requires more capable people to work with me, so I really hope that you can join the base."

Someone asked Peng Peng to report the matter, but Peng Peng did not continue to persuade him, but asked them to stroll around on their own. "Maybe you will fall in love with this place after you know it, go and see the base, and you will be satisfied."

Chu Xiang, Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng wandered around the base casually. Everyone showed curious expressions when they saw them, and then went up to talk. It was nothing more than asking them if they were new to the base, telling them how good the base was, and then advising them to stay.

Xiao Cheng sighed in a low voice: "I really don't know if they should be said to be naive or stupid."

Chu Xiang walked slowly with a smile on his lips, "Whether you are innocent or stupid, everyone must be responsible for their choices. There is a saying that is often heard - if you rely on the mountains and mountains to fall, you rely on everyone to run, but unfortunately few people understand."

Perhaps it was Chu Xiang's smile that made people mistakenly think that she was very satisfied with the base. The woman who had been following her before took Xiao Ai over and said proudly: "How is it? The base is great, right? I asked Xiao Ai to take you to where you live tonight?"

Chu Xiang nodded, "Okay, thank you."

Xiao Ai was sent to lead the way, and she was very happy. She kept chattering along the way. Xiao Cheng was very annoying that someone was talking like this, so she wanted to interrupt her, but Chu Xiang turned her eyes away. Then Xiao Cheng saw Chu Xiang chatting with Xiao Ai all the way. At first, he thought that the sun was coming out from the west, and the violent maniac finally had a little girl side, but later he understood that Chu Xiang was talking and talking!

In more than ten minutes, Chu Xiang trapped Xiao Ai and found out all the information Xiao Ai knew about the base. Seeing Xiao Jin secretly gave Chu Xiang a thumbs up, Xiao Cheng couldn't help but sympathize with Xiao Ai, this silly girl, who might be sold one day and even count the money.

Xiao Ai took Chu Xiang and the others to the villa they distributed and said with a smile: "The houses in this villa area are not owned anyway. If you don't like this, you can change them. Everyone is like this. You can also use electricity here, so you can take a hot bath and relax."

Xiao Cheng said curiously: "Are you really satisfied with this place? Do you want to stay here forever?"

Xiao Ai's smile faded and he sighed, "Everything is good here, it's a pity... There is no research institute. I think I will leave if I have the chance, but I have poor physical fitness and can't kill zombies. It's difficult to leave. And even if I leave, I don't know where to go."

She looked at the three of them and suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, where did you come from? Have you seen other bases on the way? I want to go to the base with research institutes and laboratories to study how to eliminate zombie viruses. Is there any? Is there any?"

Chu Xiang was a little surprised, "Are you doing research?"

Xiao Ai nodded, "Yes, my parents are both from the research institutes. I have loved studying these since I was a child. Unfortunately, they are not here anymore, otherwise they must have known where the research institutes are there. You have killed many zombies before, and I have also dissected several zombie corpses. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have this opportunity. Thank you very much."

Xiao Jin asked seriously: "Have you studied those zombies? Do you think the zombie virus is possible to be removed?"

"It's possible! But..." Xiao Ai frowned, "It takes a long time for the entire team to go through very precise research and calculations, record and analyze. In this environment, it's so difficult. Even if this place is like a paradise, there is no way to get the equipment of the laboratory. It's too difficult to say people who know research like me."

Xiao Ai likes to talk very much, and he can't stop talking as soon as he opens up. He talks a lot about her research on zombies. Chu Xiang studied medicine all his life in his previous life, and in a few words he heard that she is professional and a genius in this field.

Unfortunately, if it weren't for a particularly powerful base, no one would value such talents, because she would be useless if there was nothing for her to study.

While chatting, Xiao Ai remembered that she was going to the cafeteria to help deliver meals, so she hurriedly ran to work. This is her current life, she could only be a choreographer.

Xiao Cheng looked at her back and said, "It's a pity. If it weren't for the end of the world, she might have become a very good and excellent person."

Xiao Jin slapped him on the back and urged: "Go to the cafeteria to get food. Now is not the time for you to envy scholars."

"Who envys scholars? Then, those who have a lot of knowledge are very powerful. I won't tell you anymore, I'll go to the cafeteria to find out the news." Xiao Cheng patted Xiao Jin's hand and ran out quickly after Xiao Ai.

Xiao Jin shook his head amusedly, sat on the sofa and explained to Chu Xiang next to him, "Xiao Cheng has not been able to study since he was a child. No matter how hard he worked, he was just a passing line. He has always envied high-knowledge talents with good study. I didn't expect to meet someone at this time. I guess I feel really sorry for Xiao Ai. However, in this world, people who love fitness may be more likely to survive."

Chu Xiang leaned against the sofa, supported his head and smiled, "Now he is also the person that others envied. The most enviable thing is to be able to survive in the end of the world."

"That's right." Xiao Jin's palm was facing upwards, and a ball of flame emerged, thinking, "We have been walking around so much but haven't seen the psychics yet. I know too little about this. After dinner, I will go and chat with the patrolers to see if I can get any traps."

"Okay, I'll talk to the little girls. They usually have people who admire them, and they can easily talk about them with exaggerated praise."

"Xiao Cheng just moves freely and asks whatever you can."

The two of them arranged the matter in a few words. When Xiao Cheng came back from getting a meal, the three of them started to take action after dinner.

The night at the base is also very interesting. Everyone gathers in the square, playing music and dancing. Children run around the adults, and everyone is very happy. Even the soldiers who came back from killing zombies smiled and played with everyone with beer.

After the battle, being able to play so easily and comfortably is also a kind of relaxation and comfort for them. Maybe they can meet a lover overnight in a happy atmosphere.

Chu Xiang talked to the girls about clothes and food, and soon talked about the handsome guys at the base. The handsome guys nowadays are no longer good-looking, but strong enough and powerful enough. The girls talked endlessly about the people they admired. They knew the soldiers in the base as they knew them, and the most admired Peng Peng. Chu Xiang successfully learned from them that there were two superpowers at the base, and Peng Peng was one of them.

Peng Peng is a soil-type superpower. Many places where walls are built outside are made by Peng Peng using superpowers. It is said that he has reached the third level of superpower, and can turn the soil on the ground into various shapes, and his defense and attacks are first-class.

Xiao Jin also gained a lot. He figured out that there were psychics in the end of the world but no cultivators. There were not many psychics, and there were only two people at their base. However, ordinary people might be able to stimulate superpowers at any time. It all depends on the quality of personal qualifications. If there are more times of crisis, it is easier to stimulate superpowers.

Xiao Cheng was not idle either. He figured out Peng Peng’s office, residence and base several important locations, and even recorded how the patrolmen changed their posts.

However, the more they inquired, the more they found that the base was not as happy as it seemed. It is said that some people were not satisfied with the life in the base and would sneak out. But the base defense is so strict, how can ordinary people run out? Those so-called "stolen run" must have disappeared, and it is very likely that Peng Peng was doing it.

Everyone left, and Chu Xiang and the other three walked towards the villa where they temporarily lived, but unexpectedly they met Peng Peng halfway.

Peng Peng asked with a smile: "How is it, how do you feel? Have you made a decision?"

Chu Xiang tentatively said: "We are not used to such a comfortable life, so we still want to continue. Sorry, thank you Mr. Peng for your warm hospitality today."

Peng Peng's smile had not changed, but his eyes became a little excited, "That's fine, I will tell you tomorrow morning, although it's a pity, but I respect your decision. Getting together is fate. Let's say goodbye to everyone tomorrow morning and set off again. I will ask someone to send you some time to help you lead the way."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Peng." Chu Xiang said perfunctorily and returned to the villa with Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng.
