310: Ready to go to the base

Currently, Tian Ming has mostly cleared out the Corpse Kings on the surface, all of them yielding Red Crystal Cores. To obtain better Red Crystal Cores, he needs to enter the underground base of Su Yuan Base.

Tian Ming, along with his Nanometer Avatar, had thrown the zombies of the entire Su Yuan area into chaos. He initially thought he had been excessive enough, but then discovered that the zombies had become even more timid.

"Let's go to the base," Tian Ming said, leaping down from the building. "The high-level Corpse Kings don't dare to confront me, so I can only go to them."

Lisa quickly followed him.

"Going to Su Yuan Base, isn't Lord Li going to unleash a massacre? That might cause even greater casualties among the base personnel."

Tian Ming smiled indifferently and said, "Are you stupid? Can't we just sneak in? Oh, right, you should go back. Don't follow me anymore. After absorbing so many Red Crystal Cores, you've probably taken enough advantage, right?"

Lisa was a bit displeased and said, "Don't you want me to help you save Shen Yuan? If I absorb a few more Red Crystal Cores, I'll be able to teleport to the Lawrence Family's secret base."

"I do envy your ability, but thinking about it, the cooldown time for this ability is too long. By the time you grow enough to safely rescue Shen Yuan, my child will probably be old enough to buy soy sauce. Either go back, or wait for me outside."

Lisa's expression darkened, and she said, "You just don't trust me!"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, I don't trust you."

Tian Ming was too lazy to explain. He couldn't let Lisa absorb any more Red Crystal Cores. Lisa's strength was already formidable enough; if she became any stronger, she might slip out of his control. So, Tian Ming directly found an excuse to prevent her from continuing to follow him.

Looking at Tian Ming's expression, Lisa understood that this man would no longer take her with him. No matter how she behaved, distrust was distrust. Tian Ming remained wary of her.

As long as Shen Yuan didn't return, Tian Ming's vigilance towards the members of the Lawrence Family would never waver.

"Okay, if that's the case, then I won't follow you. I'll become stronger on my own, and I'll go rescue your wife," Lisa said with a hint of determination on her face, as if she had made some kind of resolution.

Tian Ming said indifferently, "Become stronger on your own? Can you do it? Don't end up being food for the Corpse King. Go back to Donghai City; don't cause me trouble."

Lisa looked at Tian Ming, her eyes complex, but she said nothing and turned to leave.

Watching Lisa's retreating back, Tian Ming's expression was somewhat blank. He gave a self-deprecating smile and turned to approach Su Yuan Base.

Without Lisa following him, Tian Ming activated his illusory ability and entered Su Yuan Base. The base was still operating normally, with personnel on duty at various posts. Besides humans, there were also many fully evolved zombies here.

The intelligence of these zombies had been enlightened and developed, and many of them were learning at various posts.

Tian Ming found a hidden corner, canceled his illusory ability, and disguised himself slightly as an ordinary person, blending into the crowd.

The base's internal ventilation system had issues, and the air wasn't fresh. No wonder Lord Li had to create breeding grounds on the surface; outside was at least several times better than here.

Besides technical and management personnel maintaining the base's normal operation, hundreds of thousands of civilians were confined to fixed activity areas.

Furthermore, the food produced by the automatic factories and carbon capture factories were all in capsule form. For ease of management, there were no recreational activities, and the base's patrol team had been replaced by the corpse race.

The only light weapons factory and ammunition factory had also been shut down, and the act of privately hoarding weapons was strictly investigated.

The entire base currently had no laws. Besides receiving paste-like food based on identity cards, the civilian area was in a state of chaotic disorder.

Tian Ming emerged from the passage, his Nanometer Avatar transforming into a blue work uniform, disguised as a pipe repair worker.

Before he had walked two steps, a young man rushed towards him, followed by two burly men.

The young man's face was filled with panic, and he said breathlessly, "Quick, get out of the way, don't block me."

Tian Ming's expression darkened, and he was about to step aside, but the burly man behind him directly threw the iron wrench in his hand towards him.

This place was extremely remote, with hardly anyone around. The wrench flew straight and true, directly towards Tian Ming's forehead.

Tian Ming extended a hand and caught the wrench. Then he stuck out a foot, and the young man stumbled, tripping and falling to the ground.

The two blood packs in the young man's arms also fell directly, and the two burly men behind him caught up, kicking the fallen young man repeatedly.

"Damn it, you're tired of living, daring to steal the boss's blood packs."

"Stop."

Tian Ming coldly shouted, blocking the young man.

"Get out of the way, don't meddle!"

The two burly men charged directly at Tian Ming, one from the left and one from the right, trying to subdue him.

Tian Ming was extremely fast, striking with both hands. With two slaps, the two burly men were directly stunned. They hadn't even seen how Tian Ming had struck, but a burning pain spread across their faces.

"Who the hell are you? Daring to meddle in my business?"

The two burly men looked at Tian Ming with some fear, their arrogant demeanor significantly reined in.

"Get lost. If you use force again, I'll directly crack your skulls open," Tian Ming said, and the iron wrench in his hand emitted a grating sound as it was directly broken by Tian Ming.

Seeing this scene, the two big men immediately fell silent, their faces showing expressions of terror. They knew that this man was not to be trifled with; if he wanted to act against them, they would have no power to resist.

"Still not getting lost?" Tian Ming's tone was cold, and the two burly men no longer dared to confront him, fleeing in disarray without looking back.

"Thank... thank you."

The young man scrambled up from the ground, picked up the blood packs that had fallen nearby, and repeatedly thanked Tian Ming.

The young man was about to leave, but Tian Ming called out to him.

"Stop!"

The young man was startled and said, "Big brother, is there anything else?"

"What are you doing with the blood packs in your hand?" Tian Ming asked with some curiosity.

The young man's expression changed, and he clutched the blood packs tightly, saying, "Don't even think about my blood packs. I need them to exchange for food with the zombie adults."

Tian Ming was even more puzzled and asked, "This thing can be exchanged for food?"

The young man frowned, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes as he looked at Tian Ming.

"Are you even from Su Yuan Base? You don't know this? Blood packs are good things for those intelligent zombies. Lord Li has strictly ordered the corpse race within the base not to kill people, so these blood packs can be exchanged for everything except weapons."

Tian Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "There's such a thing?"
