Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 278 Entering the Jianghai Base

Xue Hua's home is in the south, and the city where she lives is only forty kilometers away from the Benxi base.

Xue Hua has extremely high talent. In half a year, her strength has caught up with everyone else. She is a level four evolved human, so bringing her along is not a burden.

Besides, Xue Hua wanted to leave for another reason: because of Zhao Shiyun's change in identity, many people wanted to use the Twin Mercenary Group to get on his side, so they relentlessly pursued the single men and women in the group, especially the beautiful Xue Hua.

This troubled her greatly.

Her past experiences were not honorable, but because they involved many high-ranking people, she would not mention them to her suitors. However, there were quite a few people in the base who knew about these things. There are no secrets in the world, and over time those people would naturally hear bits and pieces of information. At that time, they might resent her for deceiving their feelings. Therefore, it was better not to start anything at all.

Most importantly, she has no interest in any men now. She feels that they are like flies buzzing in her ears, impossible to get rid of, always coming back, endlessly, which is annoying.

It just so happens that the place Zhao Lexi is going to is not far from her hometown. If she goes with her, she can both go back to find her parents and get some peace and quiet for a while, killing two birds with one stone.

Therefore, Xue Hua was added to the list of travelers.

Four people, one car.

To make his younger sister more comfortable on the road, Zhao Shiyun had a van modified, with the trunk filled with weapons and supplies, fearing that the child would suffer during the journey.

He also prepared an SUV and a sedan, which Zhao Lexi could store in her spatial storage for emergencies.

After lunch, they prepared to set off. Before getting into the car, Zhao Lexi left all the fruits with a small amount of energy in her space to Li Hong, asking her to keep them for Geng Xiaojun. This was because they were unsure how long they would be away and might not make it in time for the baby's birth. These fruits were perfect for Geng Xiaojun, who was preparing to evolve after giving birth.

Even if a child is born an evolved human, they can eat some.

This heartwarming gesture deeply moved Shangguan Wei, who grabbed Zhao Lexi's hand and said repeatedly, "You are my own sister, and from now on he will be your own nephew."

"Wait for me to come back, let me play for a few days!" Zhao Lexi suggested, her eyes sparkling.

"How about we talk about it when you get back?" Shangguan Wei chuckled dryly, changing the subject. He handed Zhao Lexi a bamboo tube as thick as an arm that he had prepared beforehand: "Lele, here, take this. Use it carefully. I don't know how big the blast radius of this thing is. Anyway, throw it far away, and turn around and run after you've thrown it."

He lowered his voice: "I feel that wiping out a small base shouldn't be a problem."

Zhao Lexi carefully took it, her eyes filled with disbelief: "If I can't escape, am I doomed?!"

Shangguan Wei earnestly suggested, "Gao Jue has calculated it, and he said that with your speed, running faster shouldn't be a problem."

Once in the car, Zhao Lexi used the act of stuffing the bamboo tube into her backpack to store it in her spatial storage. Gao Jue smiled and said, "That thing was just developed by Shangguan, and so far it's the only successful one. Because the damage is incalculable, we haven't done any experiments yet."

Is he really as amazing as he says?

“Eighty percent!” Gao Jue affirmed.

The theory was his own, and the 20% figure was a conservative estimate of Shangguan Wei's practical abilities. Gao Jue and Zhao Shikang took turns driving, keeping the car constantly in motion. With the assistance of drone reconnaissance, they avoided cities and villages, as well as congested highways and national roads, making their way smoothly. Forty hours later, they entered the territory of S Province, less than one hundred kilometers away from Jingshan Temple.

Zhao Shikang planned to find a survivor base to rest and replenish his gasoline, fresh water, and food.

The nearest base is Jianghai Base.

Jianghai Base is a large base. It used to be a large resort covering 8,000 square kilometers and was surrounded by high walls. After the outbreak of the apocalypse, the governments of the surrounding cities decided to use it as a refuge, transferring a large amount of supplies here and turning it into a large survivor base.

The base leadership is divided into three factions: the Jiangsu faction, the Shanghai faction, and the Anhui faction. They stand in a tripartite balance, each unwilling to submit to the others, and thus check and balance each other, but they manage to live in relative peace.

Jianghai Base has never experienced a severe winter apocalypse with a sudden drop in temperature, but because of the suitable temperature, there are a lot of mosquitoes here, and they have evolved to be large and ferocious. If an ordinary person has not evolved, a mosquito the size of a palm can kill him.

Meanwhile, mosquitoes were flying rampant in the sky, their density so great that, while not exactly blotting out the sun, it was enough to give anyone goosebumps.

Zhao Lexi sat by the window, which was half-open. Her right hand was outstretched, with one or more small wind blades floating on each of her five fingers. She watched the mosquitoes flying around the car with great interest. As soon as they got close, she would immediately throw out a wind blade, splitting their bodies in two.

Mosquitoes have no intelligence. The death of their own kind cannot stop their thirst for flesh and blood. So they follow one after another, having a great time playing with Zhao Lexi. At most, she can throw out twenty wind blades in an instant!
The other three noticed that in just one day, the wind blades spinning on Zhao Lexi's fingers were getting smaller and smaller, but their number was increasing. This indicated that her control over the wind was becoming more and more precise with each kill, and the amount of energy consumed by each attack was also decreasing.

Zhao Shikang imitated Zhao Lexi, controlling small fireballs to hunt mosquitoes. His control over his superpowers was not as good as Zhao Lexi's, but mosquitoes are naturally afraid of fire, and the density of mosquitoes in the air was high. Even if he couldn't hit one, he could hit another. Burning a large area at once was even more lethal than Zhao Lexi's!
Zhao Shikang knew in his heart that the difference between him and his sister was that his sister could kill wherever she was hit, while he could only hit wherever he was killed.

After a while, Zhao Lexi concentrated all the small wind blades onto one finger and flicked it out like a whip, instantly clearing a sliver of azure sky.

Her eyes were full of joy, her fingers never stopping, the whip swirling in the swarm of mosquitoes, killing a whole bunch of them.

"Third brother, you should give it a try too."

After a slight hesitation, Zhao Shikang also tried to condense a fire whip. The fire whip was not stable and its length was inconsistent. It took about fifteen minutes for it to stabilize.

Zhao Shikang breathed a slight sigh of relief and tried to flick the fire whip out, but his hand trembled and he didn't control the force well. The fire whip flew out of his hand like fireworks, turning into dozens of small fireballs that bloomed among the mosquitoes. Accompanied by countless mosquito corpses with sparks falling from the sky, it was like fireworks blooming and shooting stars falling, a beautiful sight.

"So beautiful!" Xue Hua couldn't help but exclaim.

"Third Brother is amazing!" Zhao Lexi praised repeatedly.

Zhao Shikang's face flushed red. He couldn't admit it or not. Before long, both his ears turned red.

Gao Jue saw through it but didn't say anything, only smiling.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Jianghai base.

After handing over the energy crystals at the entrance, the four entered the base.
