Chapter 909 909: The New Dawn ( 5 )
Instead of informing Wen Hanli about their evacuation, Li Xiuying said, "Vice Commander Wen, we are on our way to your base. I brought 6,000 people with me. Half of them are mutants, and the rest are researchers and skilled people."
"What happened to your base?" Wen Hanli asked.
After a moment of pause, Li Xiuying said, "Yanyu Base has fallen. We barely managed to escape."
Wen Hanli didn't expect them to fall. After all, the Li family was a leader in nanotechnology research, specializing in weapon development.
"I will make the arrangements. Good luck."
"Thank you."
Although he agreed to accept them, it was not guaranteed that they could arrive safely.
Soon after he hung up the call, his phone rang again. Despite feeling tired and dizzy, Wen Hanli still picked up the call and continued arranging official matters.
A few hours later, the military choppers from the Mountain Base arrived. Perhaps because of the natural disaster, they didn't encounter any mutant birds.
After the survivors disembarked, they were taken to the quarantine area, where they were inspected for injuries and injected with the serum developed by the base. This serum could force the Matkuna eggs to be expelled from the Host's body.
Afterward, they had to wait for two hours. Only when they showed no signs of mutation or vomiting were they taken to the residential area arranged for them.
When the military choppers flew back to the Mountain Base, 40 military choppers were dispatched from the Lin'an City Base.
Since the battle in the Lin'an City Base was nearing its end, they sent over 1,000 mutants to support the Mountain Base.
The battle against the Matkuna soldiers lasted for another five days before the last bug was killed. During the battle, the 4th wall of the base was badly damaged.
To speed up the cleaning process, Jin Xuyan entrusted Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye to Shen Jinyue and went to help the guards. With his black flame, he burned everything, leaving piles of ashes behind.
Everyone who was still able to work helped clean the battlefield, and those who were injured were sent to the hospitals for treatment.
Fifteen days after the battle ended, Li Xiuying finally arrived with her people. Out of 6,000 people, only two-thirds survived.
While the situation was still chaotic, everything was under control.
Five days later, news came from the Green Lake Base. They survived the attack, but half of the base was destroyed. The number of casualties reached more than 150,000, which was almost half of the entire base's population.
With so many casualties, the process of rebuilding the base would be slowed down. Xun Che held an emergency meeting to discuss a solution.
After a long meeting, they finally decided to merge the Green Lake Base with the Lin'an City Base.
With the natural disaster destroying so many cities and towns, only a few cities were suitable for living now.
Some countries were completely submerged by the tsunami or covered by hot lava, leaving nothing behind. Added to the radiation from nuclear plants, the habitable area for the human race was less than 10% of the available land.
"Take this chance to take over the entire Lin'an City. We will build the wall along the border. Following the previous design, this time, we will build a total of 15 rings."
When the higher-ranking officers heard Xun Che's words, they were stunned.
"Commander, the total area of the entire city is around 22,000 square kilometers. Not to mention the resources needed to build a wall surrounding the entire city, we don't even have enough manpower," Xie Zhou said.
"Didn't we accept a lot of manpower lately?"
"Commander, you mean those survivors?" Wen Hanli asked.
"Since they want to stay in our base, they have to contribute something. Also, we don't raise idle people. If they want to survive, they have to work and earn their own food."
This was not the first time they hired people to build the wall, so after discussing it for a while, they reached an agreement.
The materials would be collected from nearby cities and towns by the mercenary teams. The workers would be recruited from the survivors.
With the plans agreed upon, they started working on it.
The first thing they did was transport the Green Lake Base's residents to Lin'an City. At the same time, survivors from various places were pouring into the Lin'an City Base.
When they saw that they could work and earn food, everyone gained hope for the future.
Ten days later, Jiao Lizhi and Du Beiye finally woke up from their deep slumber. Today marked the 30th day after the battle ended.
As they opened their eyes, they stared at the ceiling dazedly. Now that Gaia and Krayan were no longer linked to them, they felt a strange emptiness. The world suddenly felt too quiet.
After a long time, Jiao Lizhi pushed herself up and sat on the bed. She looked around and realized that she had reached level 8. She circulated the energy in her body and noticed the change in her ability.
Besides her cold water energy, there was a trace of warm energy pulsating in her veins. She focused on the energy, and the next moment, a vine sprouted on her palm.
Looking at the vine, she recalled the moment before Gaia disappeared. The green light… This wood-type ability should be Gaia's last gift.
Seeing her sister gain a new ability, Du Beiye also sat up and checked her body. Without Krayan, she couldn't scan her body like before. She closed her eyes and tried the ancient meditation method she had learned before.
After a while, she finally felt the unknown energies in her body. Besides the wind-type energy, there was also lightning-type energy. Both energies clashed and intertwined from time to time.
Since they didn't cause her any discomfort, Du Beiye didn't check them further. The main priority was to get some food. She was starving!
