Xu Qian heard the thoughts of these ordinary people and sighed, "My condolences. I suggest the child shouldn't go down, it's all..."
Missing limbs and guts.
The crowd showed no reaction, completely unable to accept this fact.
Xu Qian didn't expect them to thank her; she was just there to deliver ice as part of her mission.
The two didn't linger and turned to head to the next base.
Not long after they left, wails echoed through the room.
"Dad..."
"Husband..."
"My son."
After getting into the car, Xu Qian immediately opened the map to check. Time was incredibly short.
The next base was Yang Lian Base, named after its leader, Yang Lian.
Xu Qian had no impression of him in her previous life.
It was only a 15-minute drive, very close.
Yang Lian Base was in a dilapidated sheet metal warehouse. The temperature inside was even higher than in the buildings. When they arrived, there was no one inside.
Xu Qian opened the map and saw they were all hiding in nearby eateries, with a large number of people, almost every eatery packed.
She scanned the area; there were easily eight hundred to a thousand people.
It seemed it wasn't a small base after all.
Xu Qian got out of the car nearby and directly pulled out a loudspeaker, shouting, "The leader of Yang Lian Base, please come out. We're here to deliver supplies."
Yang Lian, who was enjoying himself in the depths of an eatery, was stunned. Someone was delivering supplies??
Was there such a good thing??
"You, come with me and take a look."
"Yes."
The ice ability user obediently followed his boss out.
In the past, a Level 2 ice ability user was completely ignored, but now they were sought after, and ice ability users like them had a chance to shine.
The crowd murmured, peering out to see, but recoiled from the overwhelming heat.
Yang Lian was bald, with a round face and large ears, exuding an air of prosperity. Even before the apocalypse, he was a comfortable man of means.
He stopped a reasonable distance from the two.
"What supplies are you delivering?"
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes and replied truthfully, "Indissoluble ice. How many people are in your base?"
Yang Lian wasn't in a hurry. He wasn't surprised to hear about indissoluble ice, considering it normal.
The apocalypse had arrived, so what was so strange about ice that wouldn't melt?
"Are you girls sent by Hope Base?"
Xu Qian shook her head. "Leader Yang, how many people are in your base? I need to send ice for the corresponding number of people."
The ice ability user beside him wished he could just tell them for his leader. His ability was almost depleted after a day of use.
1315 people!!
Hearing the thoughts, Xu Qian subtly moved her mind, and piles of ice appeared on the ground.
The two didn't stay and turned to leave.
"Wait!!"
Xu Qian was anxious and didn't want to waste time with him.
"Don't leave yet!!"
Yang Lian, in his haste, rushed forward and blocked them. Upon closer inspection, Yang Lian recognized her.
These features... wasn't it Xu Qian?
She was his idol!! His room was plastered with her photos!!
"You're Xu Qian??"
Xu Qian nodded coldly. "Can I go now? Leader Yang, I'm in a hurry."
Yang Lian's eyes flashed. He reached out to shake Xu Qian's hand, but Xu Lu deftly slapped it away.
The young girl frowned. "Speak if you have something to say. Don't get touchy."
He was unusually excited and shouted, "I've always admired you so much!! The fact that so many bases are after you is incredible..."
"I knew they could never catch you! You're the strongest woman in Hope Base!"
Xu Qian: ...
