The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

Camille also realized this problem from Shen Ge's reaction, and immediately asked several anti-ghost warriors in front of him about the people who had come here before.

One of them said to the ghost warrior in surprise: "You really came from the past? Damn, I thought 'time travel' was just a novel from the old times, I didn't expect it to really exist!"

Shen Ge was not interested in arguing with this novel fan about this issue. He was only interested in the last batch of survivors who came here.

Because in Shen Ge's opinion, given Cheng's mother's situation, she could only have a chance of survival if she fell into this kind of environment. After all, the living environment in the multiple strange spaces was too harsh.

The leading female researcher said, "We haven't seen those people. We just heard from people in the base that a group of survivors from the past made a deal with the leader of the base and then left. We don't know exactly when they came, when they left, or what deal they made."

"Where is your base?" Shen Ge asked.

"This..." The female researcher and her companion looked at each other, not knowing whether to answer this question for a moment.

After all, to them, Shen Ge is an "outsider", and telling outsiders about the situation of the base without authorization is undoubtedly a "betrayal" of the base.

Shen Ge knew exactly what these people wanted, so he took out a few boxes of food and drinking water from the strange space and said, "You came out here just to find resources. Here are some resources. Consider them my commission for visiting your base. I have no ill will towards your base, nor am I interested in it."

The leading female researcher took off her mask, revealing a pretty face, but there was a scar from her left eye to her chin, which looked a little scary.

"We can only be responsible for conveying the message to the leader. As for whether the leader is willing to see you or whether he will let you enter the base, we cannot guarantee it." said the female researcher.

Shen Ge nodded: "That's fine."

The female researcher continued, "But before you go to the base, you must wait for the leader's reply at the sentry tower two hundred meters away. You cannot go to the base with us."

The meaning of the female researcher's words was very clear. The entrance to this base should be very hidden, and they did not want to expose the entrance to outsiders like Shen Ge.

"Okay, I agree." Shen Ge responded readily.

For him, as long as he determined the approximate location of the base, even if there were a few fifth or sixth level monsters kept at the door, they would not be able to stop him from entering the base.

"Pleasant to work with."

The woman extended her hand to Shen Ge and said, "I am Shirley, the captain of the Second Division of the Seventh Legion of the Dawn Alliance. What is your name?"

Shen Ge replied: "Li Xiang."

"Mr. Li, nice to meet you."

After saying that, Shirley looked at Camille.

Camille didn't understand why Shen Ge used another name. He was stunned for a moment, but still reported his name honestly: "I am Camille, the captain of the International Anti-Ghost Organization Special Rescue Team. This time... uh, sorry, I still find it difficult to accept the current situation."

Perhaps because of the "reward" given by Shen Ge, Shirley still revealed as much information about this world as possible to Shen Ge along the way.

Most of the questions Shen Ge asked were related to the history of this world. He did not try to find out information related to the base, and completely opened up the resource team.

According to Shirley, the reason why the world here has become what it is now is because the strangeness of Sakura Island caused a huge tsunami, which affected the surrounding countries. The strange king produced by Sakura continued to move towards the Great Celestial Empire after the tsunami.

The Great Celestial Empire held out for decades, but eventually it fell under the destruction of the eighth-level ghost king.

Afterwards, humans formed a coalition and held out for several decades. Finally, due to the continuous appearance of high-level monsters in various places, they finally hid in underground bases and survived for several decades.

It was not until a researcher named Li developed a food that could replace meat to supplement human nutrition that the probability of strange events occurring in the underground base was gradually reduced.

But even so, humans still live underground and only come to the ground to look for resources when resources are extremely scarce.

A "resource search team" like Shirley's is an exploration team specifically responsible for finding resources.

It was then that Shen Ge and Camille noticed that Shirley and the others were relatively thin, perhaps because they had lived in the underground base for a long time. The tallest male anti-ghost warrior was less than 170 cm tall, not to mention the two women in the team.

In addition to their height and body shape, the faces of these people are also slightly different from humans in "reality", especially their eyes. If you look closely, you can see that they are like cat's eyes, emitting green light in dark places.

According to Shirley, humans have indeed mutated over the past few decades in order to adapt to life in underground bases, allowing them to barely see even in dark places.

Chatting along the way, Shen Ge and Camille followed Shirley and others to a collapsed high-rise building. The survivors built a watchtower in the ruins, which could observe the situation within a radius of several hundred meters. Once anything strange or outsiders approached, they could be discovered immediately.

After Shirley explained the situation of Shen Ge and others to the team leader of the outpost, she took out a box of food as "reward" and asked them to take Shen Ge and others to the lounge under the watchtower to wait.

Everyone in the base was very surprised that Shirley led a team out to look for resources and brought back a strange man and woman.

On the one hand, since the new century, except for the survivors in the underground base, it has been rare to see living people on the ground.

On the other hand, when the top leaders of the underground base learned that Shen Ge and the other two were not only from the "past", but could also conjure up large amounts of food and water like magic, the leader immediately agreed to let them enter the city, perhaps out of a desire for resources or blind confidence in the strength of the base.

When Shirley brought back the news, Camille was naturally very happy. She couldn't wait to have a deeper contact with the people in the "future" in the hope of obtaining more information. If she could return to her own world, it would undoubtedly change the direction of the world.

As for Shen Ge, he had no expression. Whether it was because of the resources he carried with him or their value as people from the "past", he believed that this meeting with the leader of the base would not be that easy.

As expected, after meeting Shen Ge, Rogers asked him a lot of questions about the "past", and the topic almost all revolved around how to go to the "past".

Even a fool could see what he was thinking. He obviously wanted to escape from the doomsday future and go to the past before the doomsday came.

Camille wanted to exchange information from the "past" for information from the "future" with the base leader, but she knew very well that it was Shen Ge who would make the final decision at this time.

Shen Ge didn't speak, and if she started talking nonsense, she might annoy the other party. If she offended the leader of the base, she might just be kicked out of the base, and there would inevitably be a fierce battle, but if she offended Shen Ge, she probably wouldn't be able to return to "reality" alive.

Shen Ge was also very interested in this fragmented world, so he did not directly use force to break up with Rogers, but exchanged information for intelligence from the "previous batch of survivors from the past."

However, to Shen Ge's disappointment, according to Rogers, when that group of people arrived at the underground base, he was leading the team to the No. 2 entrance of the abandoned city to resist the strange invasion.

The group of survivors seemed to be searching for something and only stayed at the outer outpost for less than a day, then exchanged some ammunition and left.

The sentry captain mentioned that they were going to look for some "spire".

But the largest underground base in the abandoned city is "Dawn". Apart from anything else, Rogers is too familiar with the environment around the abandoned city and has never seen any "spire".

But the survivors told the sentry captain that as long as they found the "spire" they could go back to the past. This is why Rogers talked about the "spire" every other sentence after meeting Shen Ge.

At first, Shen Ge didn't know whether the "spire" mentioned by Rogers was related to the "spire" he knew. It was not until now that he was sure that the "spire" was most likely the dark room with all the eye tumors. The first few times Shen Ge entered the dream world, he relied on this room to return to reality.

After confirming this, Shen Ge's heart was suddenly filled with waves of astonishment. Even when facing high-level weirdness, he had never been so surprised.

Because... considering the situation with the "Spire", doesn't this mean that someone also knows that the "Spire" connects the fragmented world and "reality"?
Could it be Shen Lin?

Regardless of whether it was Shen Lin or not, Shen Ge would not reveal too much information to Rogers on the "Spire". There were only two things he wanted to do now -

The first is to confirm whether Cheng's mother is among the survivors;

The second is to find an opportunity to obtain the power of dreams in this fragmented world.

Both of them need to go to the "Spire", so Shen Ge tries to reach an agreement with Rogers to find the Spire together.

Because this world is shrouded in strange black fog all year round, the time the sun appears is shortened to three to four hours, and it will also drop sharply due to the changeable weather.

During the period when the sun is not visible, the strange energy black fog will most likely trigger a strange energy storm. Not to mention whether resources can be found during this period, even whether one can survive the strange energy storm is unknown.

Therefore, the search team would usually only go out when the sun came out. Rogers let Shen Ge and the other two rest in the underground base for a night before making plans.

Rogers called Shirley and asked her to take Shen Ge and the other man to a clean dormitory. After briefly explaining the situation of the underground base to him, he took out two bags of instant noodles to treat them.

This is the best thing the underground base can produce, but the funniest thing is... this was given to them by Shen Ge as a reward.

In fact, Shirley has never eaten instant noodles in the twenty years since she was born. She only saw the words "instant noodles" in books.

Seeing Shirley staring at the instant noodles eagerly, Shen Ge simply let her take it away. She was so excited that her hands were shaking and she almost spilled the soup.

After Shirley left, Camille started eating instant noodles and said worriedly, "Captain Shen, do you think they will?"

The reason why she ate with such a clear conscience was because she knew that Shen Ge must have a lot of stock, otherwise he would not have been so generous as to take out several boxes of resources as "reward".

"It's very likely. Eat breakfast and rest. Classmate Xiaoqi will monitor the surrounding situation for us. Only after we have rested well can we find a way to leave here." Shen Ge said.

"it is good."

Shen Ge originally thought that Rogers asked them to stay overnight because he was planning to do something evil at night, but the whole night passed without any incident.

Xiao Qi was not idle that night. He controlled the blood spider to take a general look at the situation of the underground base, but the result surprised him and Shen Ge.

Because this "Dawn", which is said to be the largest underground base in East District 789, actually has a total population of less than three thousand people.

Moreover, they were so poor that they had to eat tree bark and roots. No wonder they entertained a "VIP" like Shen Ge with the resources provided by Shen Ge.

However, this also confirmed Shen Ge's guess that Rogers really wanted to find the "spire" through Shen Ge, or find a way to go to the "past", and then lead the people in the base to leave the doomsday future and return to the "past" before the doomsday came.

Blood Spider also learned from the conversation between Rogers and his confidants that this guy did not intend to lead everyone in the base away, but only planned to take his confidants and women with him.

He believed that with his understanding of the "future", after returning to the "past", as a future man he would definitely be treated like a celestial dragon.

Therefore, the team selected by Rogers to assist Shen Ge in finding the "Spire" consisted of eight members, five of whom were his confidants, and the remaining three were from Shirley's team.

He felt that as the first person to come into contact with Shen Ge, Shirley was able to reach an agreement with Shen Ge, proving that she was at least "pleasing to Shen Ge's eye."

Furthermore, although Shirley is an explorer, her knowledge is among the highest in the base, which is why she can serve as the captain despite being a civilian.

Because of the bowl of instant noodles that Shen Ge "gave up" last night, Shirley's favor for Shen Ge increased dramatically. Although Shen Ge gave her a "reward" for the referral, these resources need to be taken back for unified distribution.

Although Shirley was able to get a share as the captain, she gave it all to her family. Even the bowl of instant noodles that Shen Ge gave her, she only ate a small half and drank half a bowl of soup, and gave the rest to her sister.

Shen Ge only mentioned the issue of resource allocation at the Dawn Base inadvertently. Shirley, perhaps wanting to highlight the scarcity of resources, said a little more and accidentally mentioned the matter of instant noodles. This gave people the feeling that she was asking Shen Ge for food, which immediately made her blush.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Shen Ge's body: "Ms. Shirley, I am curious about how old your sister is. Is she your twin?"

Shirley didn't understand why a mechanical synthesized voice similar to a woman's voice appeared on Shen Ge's body. She subconsciously thought that Shen Ge was talking, and said with a little surprise: "Ah? Mr. Shen, why did your voice change... And how did you know that my sister and I are twins?"

Who knew that before Shen Ge had time to explain, the voice sounded again: "Tsk tsk, Master, your twin aura is really powerful!" (End of this chapter)
