311: Help me, I can take you out.

The young man's vigilance grew even stronger, and he retreated repeatedly, asking cautiously, "I saw you could break the wrench; you must be at least a Five-level Ability User. Aren't Five-level Ability Users all eaten by zombies? You, you're not from the base?"

Tian Ming didn't deny it and said, "I am indeed not from this base. From what you're saying, anyone who is an Ability User in this base gets eaten."

The young man nodded repeatedly, "Lu, don't implicate me. Let's part ways now. I advise you not to reveal your ability. Lord Li has clearly stipulated that Ability Users and those who privately possess firearms are committing serious crimes and will be sacrificed first."

After the young man finished speaking, he tried to leave, but Tian Ming fixed him in place. No matter how he tried to run, he couldn't take a single step forward.

"What do you want to do, Lu? I beg you to let me go. If the Zombie Lords discover me with an Ability User, I'll die a terrible death."

"You don't need to be afraid. I won't hurt you."

How could the young man not be afraid? His body trembled, and he couldn't even hold the blood pack steady.

"Lu, you'll implicate me. I still have younger siblings to take care of. If I die, what will happen to them?" The young man's face was full of pleading; he wished he could be far away from Tian Ming.

"Be my guide. I want to clear out the Corpse King here. After it's done, I'll take you out of here. How about it?" Tian Ming said, spreading his hand, and a soft bun appeared in his palm.

Having eaten too much sticky, processed food, the young man's eyes lit up the moment he saw the food. Although he was somewhat swayed, after a moment, he still shook his head repeatedly.

"No, what if you abandon me? I'd be in big trouble. Ever since Su Yuan Base fell, I no longer believe that the Alliance will send people to rescue us."

Tian Ming was too lazy to explain. With a wave of his hand, Nanometer Avatar No. 4 attached itself to the young man. Tian Ming pulled out a knife and stabbed it directly towards the young man's heart. The moment the tip of the knife touched the young man's body, it was devoured by the Nanometer Avatar and turned into powder.

"Follow me, and I guarantee you won't die!" Tian Ming said calmly.

The young man was stunned for a moment by the sight before him. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, but in the end, he nodded.

Although the young man was just a commoner, he had never seen an Ability User possess so many abilities and be able to directly control nanometer armor.

The young man wasn't foolish; he instantly guessed Tian Ming's identity. His initial vigilance turned into excitement.

"You, you wouldn't happen to be the only Full Element Ability User in the entire Alliance, would you?"

Tian Ming smiled slightly and nodded, "Mm!"

"How is the Alliance doing?" the young man asked.

"All the Alliance bases have fallen. Currently, all the surviving personnel are concentrated in Donghai City," Tian Ming said.

The young man was silent for a while, then said, "Come with me. I'll take you to where I live."

Tian Ming nodded slightly and followed the young man. The young man's name was Jiang Xin, an ordinary resident of Su Yuan Base. Although he was not an Ability User, he was very familiar with the situation in the base.

"Lu, ever since Su Yuan fell, this base has been divided into two areas. The production area has zombies stationed and patrolling, while the civilians who have become food are concentrated in the original residential area. Now, the zombie patrol teams don't bother us; they only come when someone dies, so the public order is very bad now."

Following the young man to his dwelling, which was an abandoned warehouse. The young man opened the door and walked in, with Tian Ming following closely behind.

The warehouse was very dark, and the air was filled with a rotting smell. Many garbage and broken items were piled up in the warehouse, and the electric light overhead emitted a faint glow.

Two disheveled children emerged from the pile of garbage.

"Brother, you're back?"

The two children were young, around fourteen or fifteen years old. Jiang Xin handed them the cake he was holding, and they devoured it after taking it.

Jiang Xin introduced, "My younger brother and sister, both fifteen. They're not my biological siblings; their parents died during this fall, and I took them in."

"Brother, have you eaten?" The little girl broke off a piece of cake and handed it to Jiang Xin.

Jiang Xin smiled, ruffled her hair, and said, "Brother has already eaten. You two eat."

Tian Ming watched this scene, feeling a little touched. He raised his hand and waved, replicating a dozen more cans of meat, as well as some compressed biscuits and instant noodles. Food was readily available to Tian Ming, but for the ordinary civilians of Su Yuan Base, it was something they had to risk their lives to obtain.

When Jiang Xin saw the food, a look of joy appeared on his face. He quickly thanked Tian Ming and hid the items in the garbage behind him.

Tian Ming asked somewhat strangely, "Don't those zombies give you food?"

"They do, but a portion of it gets deducted, so no one in the civilian area can eat their fill! If you want to eat enough, you have to exchange blood for it. The Corpse King doesn't care about any of this; if someone starves to death, it just adds to their meal." Jiang Xin said, sighing slightly.

After hearing this, Tian Ming frowned deeply. Although he was mentally prepared for the situation in the base, he didn't expect the people in the fallen zone to be like scattered sand, caught in internal strife for survival, unable to extricate themselves.

Jiang Xin looked at Tian Ming with hope and asked, "I heard them say that the Alliance has abandoned all of us. Lu, will the Alliance come to save us?"

Tian Ming didn't know how to answer for a moment. They would definitely be rescued, but with zombies and base personnel mixed together now, a large-scale rescue was simply not realistic.

"The Alliance suffered heavy losses this time, nearly eighty percent of combat personnel. So, rescuing people will take time, and this time will be very long. However, this time, I can take a small group of people out." Tian Ming said.

After hearing this, Jiang Xin could only nod slightly. They also understood how powerful the current Corpse King was, and a large-scale rescue would only harm these ordinary people trapped in the underground base.

Tian Ming changed the subject and said, "You are familiar with the situation in the base. Take me to find the regional managing Corpse King; the more powerful the Corpse King, the better."

Jiang Xin nodded slightly and said, "Okay!" Immediately, he first settled his younger siblings, telling them to stay in this place and not go out. Afterward, Jiang Xin led Tian Ming towards the civilian area of the base.

As Jiang Xin walked, he said, "There's a management office in this civilian area responsible for food distribution. All the zombies underground are intelligent zombies, and most of them can speak. Half of the personnel in this management office are from the base's gangs, and there are also two female zombies responsible for supervision. But I can't distinguish between a Corpse King and an ordinary zombie."

"It doesn't matter, as long as we can make contact," Tian Ming said slowly.
