Chu Yuanqing scratched his head and grinned:
"It's still early, so we thought we'd come and see you. We just arrived at the base, and we're not familiar with the environment yet, so we thought we'd ask if you guys want to go out with us and get familiar with the base. We might find something useful."
Lu Jingcheng slightly turned sideways, his eyes briefly rested on Shi Xinxin, and then quickly turned to Li Luo who was walking out of the room.
There was a gentle inquiry in his eyes, as if silently asking for her opinion.
Li Luo felt Lu Jingcheng's gaze, raised her hand to gently stroke the hair by her ear, and met his gaze. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile, her eyes lively and revealing a bit of approval.
Then she nodded and said:
"Okay, since I have nothing else to do right now, it's not bad to go out and take a look. Maybe I can find some useful information."
Seeing Li Luo agree, Lu Jingcheng smiled with satisfaction. He nodded slightly and said:
"This base may seem normal, but there are actually undercurrents. We may be able to figure out something and make plans for the next trip."
The voice was calm and resolute, as if it could dispel the gloom of the end of the world.
So the four of them smiled at each other, understood each other, and walked out of the hotel together.
As I stepped into the base, I saw the dim lights swaying weakly under the leaden pressure of the eternal night, just like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
However, even so, the light still strives to emit a faint glow, casting patches of mottled light and shadows on the ground, like a stubborn flag standing firm in the darkness.
On the street, pedestrians come and go. Although they look hurried and their steps are a little flustered, their eyes not only show vigilance and fear of the unknown, but also reveal a tenacity to survive in the end times.
They were dressed in tattered clothes with patches of all sizes, shivering in the chilly wind. Their thin figures seemed fragile, yet seemed to contain some kind of indomitable strength, and they were not afraid of the raging wind of the end of the world.
Li Luo and his group of four walked slowly along the street, observing everything around them with sharp eyes.
Most of the buildings along the street are in ruins.
The walls are covered with dense cracks of varying depths, like broken spider webs, silently telling the vicissitudes and cruelty of the end of the world.
The roofs of many houses have collapsed, leaving only ruins, like ruins destroyed by a giant in anger, revealing endless desolation in the dim light.
However, even in such a dilapidated environment, there are still some houses with warm light coming through the windows, and occasionally you can hear soft laughter coming from the houses, adding a rare sense of homeliness to this desolate land.
The few remaining windows had shattered glass and were creaking in the wind. The sound was a bit creepy, but it also sounded like a doomsday tragedy, telling the story of the prosperity of the past and the rise and fall of the present.
The four of them walked slowly along the way, and before they knew it, they came to a familiar place - an open space.
That’s right, this was the open space where the base leader Chen Feng gave a speech when they first entered the base.
At this moment, the place has completely changed.
The originally empty ground was now filled with stalls, turning it into a temporary trading area.
The stalls were arranged unevenly along the edge of the open space and the middle aisle, like a messy yet lively apocalyptic painting.
On the stalls, there were all kinds of items on display, dimly lit under the dim light, giving off an old and complex atmosphere.
Each item seems to carry the unique experiences and memories of its owners in the end times.
