Chapter 310: The Base Was Lost
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
“In order to gathered the supplies from the gathering area of the solar power plant, we lured all the mutants near the western gate…”
“Let’s head directly to the west gate…”
This time, they came to take over the territory, so Meng Xian had to eliminate these mutants to prevent future problems.
Soon, the group arrived near the western gate and stopped by the edge of the forest, peering into the electronics factory.
“There’s no movement…”
Meng Xian turned to someone and asked, “Eagle, do you see any mutants?!”
“No…”
Within the crowd, a pair of eyes emitted a faint green glow. After scanning the surroundings of the western gate, he indicated he didn’t see any mutants.
“Not here?!”
“Xiao Liu, you were the one who lured them away last time. Where did those mutants go?!”
“I don’t know. I lured them here and hung a ‘Happy Birthday* light on the tree before 1 ran off…”
“Never mind then, let’s go in and check out.”
Even though the situation was different from what they had anticipated, it didn’t matter. Their purpose was to eliminate the mutants.
The group quickly moved out of the forest and walked through the western gate into the electronics factory.
“Eagle?!”
As soon as they entered, Meng Xian anxiously asked.
“I… 1 don’t see any movement!”
Eagle looked confused and shook his head, “I don’t see any mutants within my line of sight!”
“This…”
“Could someone else have lured the mutants away?!”
“It’s possible!” Meng Xian looked puzzled.
“If we can use this method to lure the mutants away, others can too!” Xiao Liu nodded.
“Keep moving!”
Meng Xian had an ominous feeling but suppressed it and continued leading the group forward.
The deeper they went in, the slower everyone’s footsteps.
When they were maneuvering through the forest earlier, they could occasionally hear voices chatting. But once inside the electronics factory, in this vast space, there was complete silence; no one felt like talking.
Everyone’s face was filled with concern, their eyes alertly scanning the surroundings. Even in the darkness where they couldn’t see far, their eyes were continuously moving, fearing something might jump out.
Even Meng Xian did the same, repeatedly calling out to Eagle over a short distance.
Finally, just as everyone started to waver, Eagle Eye spoke up.
“There seems to be a light over there…”
“Where?!”
What they feared the most was this silent dread, not knowing anything is the most frightening situation.
Such torment was too hard to bear; they’d rather face off against the mutants in a full-blown battle, regardless of life or death.
“I’m not sure, but it seems like there’s a light source in that direction…”
It was too far and even Eagle was unsure if he saw it right.
“Then let’s head that way!” Meng Xian adjusted their direction again.
After advancing several hundred meters in the direction Eagle pointed out, they found something.
“There really is a light source. It’s man-made, probably a lamp…”
“A lamp?!”
But all they saw was darkness. Where was this light?
However, Meng Xian didn’t doubt Eagle’s words. After all, his eyes were not only equipped with night vision but also had a vision far surpassing ordinary people.
Moreover, his best skill was so-called dynamic vision, allowing him to track fast-moving objects.
“Let’s go and check it out!”
Meng Xian urged the group to move on.
After covering another few hundred meters, they finally saw the light source Eagle had mentioned.
“There really is light!”
By the time they could merely see the light, Eagle had already perceived the situation near the light source.
He approached Meng Xian with a serious expression, “There’s a situation.”
“What is it?”
“The source of the light is coming from some buildings…”
“Buildings?”
“Did some other forces settle here ahead of us?” Meng Xian questioned Eagle.
“No, it might be worse…”
Eagle looked uneasy, “1 see several newly erected buildings there…”
“We didn’t see those buildings when we were here three days ago…”
“Huh?”
Meng Xian was stunned and somewhat bewildered, “Are you sure you saw it right?”
Things seemed too strange, causing her to doubt Eagle’s words.
“Meng Xian, I’m not joking…”
“My apologies, let’s move forward and see.”
Meng Xian wasn’t sure about the significance of these new buildings but decided to approach and take a closer look.
Soon, the group advanced several hundred more meters and finally saw the new structures Eagle had previously mentioned.
They noticed that where the original electronics factory parking lot had four new steel buildings.
Each building had a bright lamp outside, illuminating its surroundings.
“There really are new buildings…”
Everyone was shocked!
Many of them had been here just three days ago and were certain that those buildings hadn’t existed then.
“In just three days, four buildings were constructed?!”
Meng Xian found it absurd. Given official coordination before apocalypse, buildings like these could never be erected in such a short time without proper professional team, necessary infrastructure and heavy industrial equipment..
