148: A gathering of heroes

"Brother Teng, look at the territory of this base!" The man who spoke had an uncontrollable greed in his eyes.

"I see it," the person called Brother Teng said, taking a deep drag from his cigarette.

"Brother Teng, should we take this place? With this place, we can definitely establish a major power in the future!" A deep male voice, full of excitement, came from the big man carrying an axe.

"No," Brother Teng shook his head, his eyes glinting with shrewd calculation: "Don't be impulsive. Let's go to this base first and observe their strength. If they are as powerful as the announcement says, we'll behave ourselves. If... they're not that powerful..."

Brother Teng snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, reluctantly putting away the remaining half: "We'll take their place."

"Brother Teng is still the smartest!" The big man grinned... Luan City, a university research institute.

"Professor, look at this place!" A student ran over excitedly.

"How many times have I told you not to shout here?" An old man fumed, stroking his beard.

The young man chuckled, not minding, and shared the announcement with the professor: "Professor, look quickly, look at the place in this video. Isn't it different from other places?"

"What's different? Isn't the whole world contaminated now?" Speaking of this, the old man's eyes dimmed, and he murmured, "Does humanity really have a future?"

But he still clicked on the announcement the student shared with him. When he saw the mention of powerful Talent Users, he didn't pay much attention, but when he saw the video, his eyes burst forth with brilliant light: "This! This is absolutely not! Brought by a level five shelter's manor!"

He immediately saw the crux of the problem.

That mountain, like a celestial mountain.

It was completely out of place with everything around it.

Even just through the video, he could feel a sensation that made his soul comfortable; it was a place suitable for humans.

The old man turned directly.

The young student, however, was anxious: "Teacher, why are you leaving!"

"Come quickly and help me pack. We're going to Heavenly... yes, Tianfu Base!"

"Ah!" The young student was startled... At this moment, just after the regional announcement was released, people in the Luan City region were eyeing Tianfu Base like hungry wolves, many of them itching for action.

This was a huge challenge for Tianfu Base, but also a huge opportunity.

It meant that as long as they stabilized this time, having absorbed a portion of Luan City's elites, they would truly soar, like a dragon ascending to the heavens!

However, the prerequisite for all of this was a sufficiently powerful stabilizing force.

At this time, Tang Ping was rapidly approaching Qishan Town. Their Tianfu Base had already made an agreement with the Qishan Town police station. This trip to the town was to bring over a thousand people from under the police station to Tianfu Base.

The Survivor Base established by the Qishan Town police station was attacked by Infected yesterday, with nearly half of its personnel, about a thousand people, killed or wounded. The ferocity of the battle chilled even several experienced retired detectives.

Dismembered limbs were scattered throughout the police station, and blood stained the walls and ground red.

Now, the police station base had even become a nest for Infected, and those Infected had actually started to reproduce.

This result not only scared the other people in Qishan Town but also the police officers. No one had expected that Infected could reproduce.

Therefore, the Qishan Town police officers, who were discussing leaving and heading there, encountered the Tianfu Base, which had just released an announcement declaring itself.

Perhaps among these officers, some genuinely sought a way out for the survivors, while others intended to take over Tianfu Base.

But, facts would tell them that all conspiracies and schemes would be like bubbles in the face of absolute power.

Ultimately, their lives would also shatter along with this unrealistic dream bubble.

"Brother Tang, it looks like there are people ahead," Zhang Xile noticed a group of moving figures at the end of the broken road.

However, that group of people seemed to be engaged in a fierce battle.

"Let's go, let's go take a look. This road might lead to Tianfu Base." Tang Ping noticed a woman, an Ice-type Talent User. He could clearly feel that this Talent was very strong, and his eyes immediately gleamed with excitement. Such a powerful Talent User, if she joined Tianfu Base, would naturally provide great assistance.

The two immediately sped forward.

"Sister Yingzi, these Pollution Beasts are too strong!" The Red-haired Girl wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, holding a golden-red staff, and slammed it against an armored wild boar.

The wild boar's tusks were thick, and its body was like a minivan. As it charged wildly, cracks appeared in the ground.

It was covered in scales like a pangolin, making the already thick-skinned wild boar even more formidable.

But the Red-haired Girl, wielding a golden-red long staff, was not at a disadvantage at all.

"Hold on. There should be quite a few people on this road today. Just hold on a little longer, and maybe someone will come to support us." Sister Yingzi held an eight-sided Han sword in her hand, blood dripping from her palm along the sword. In front of her was a monster like rotten mud.

"What exactly is this thing? It's so powerful." Sister Yingzi's face was pale. She couldn't kill this thing at all, only constantly freezing it to buy time.

This can't go on, or everyone might die here. Sister Yingzi's eyes showed ferocity: "Ai Xiaohong, later I'll hold off all the Pollution Beasts. You take the others and go to Tianfu Base!"

"Sister Yingzi, you!" Ai Xiaohong was startled.

"Stop talking nonsense, there's no time! I suspect this thing might be a newly appeared Calamity Beast. Later, you guys run as far as you can!"

"What! A Calamity Beast!" Ai Xiaohong's face turned pale, looking at the monster like rotten mud.

"Big simpleton, later Sister Yingzi and I will stay. You take the others and go to Tianfu Base for help. I believe that no matter how strong they are, they won't easily abandon an A-rank Talent Holder and a B-rank Talent Holder!" Ai Xiaohong made her decision.

"Ai Xiaohong, you!"

"Sister Yingzi, you can't hold them off by yourself!" Ai Xiaohong's gaze was firm.

"Okay, then Xiaohong, I'll leave it to you." Sister Yingzi took a deep breath, "First let them leave, and then you go."

Sister Yingzi's hair gradually changed from black to ice-blue.

Ai Xiaohong plunged the golden-red staff in her hand into the ground. The next second, dozens of staff shadows appeared above her head, aiming at the heads of the Pollution Beasts.

"Big simpleton, go to Tianfu Base!"

The ice had just spread a few meters from under Sister Yingzi's feet, and the staff shadows had not yet fallen.

However, the Pollution Beasts, to their surprise, began to burn with black-red demonic flames. Vaguely, they seemed to see a red lotus blooming in the eyes of the Pollution Beasts.
