Water can determine everything in the end times. If they can find this well... what's the difference between that and suddenly becoming rich?

But the crew-cut man didn't voice his thoughts, nor did he dare to.

He witnessed Shen Chengyin's intermediate-level life ability, and it was still unknown whether Shen Chengyin would spare his life.

Several people, along with their families, climbed out of the cellar.

The moment he breathed in the fresh air, Ah Gang knelt on the ground and almost vomited bile.

He had been vomiting for a while now, and his face was deathly pale, like a ghost.

Su Han patted the dust off her clothes and asked Shen Chengyin, "You said so many children suddenly disappeared... where could they be hiding?"

"Inside the house," Shen Chengyin replied.

They had already searched the cellar, but there was nothing there.

Su Han made up her mind and said to Cun Tou, "You guys aren't feeling well, go back to the car first. The two of us will go to the house to check on things."

The man with the buzz cut glanced at Shen Chengyin, then nodded hesitantly.

Shen Chengyin had no objections.

Just as the two teams were about to separate, System 111 suddenly spoke in a low voice:

[Are you just going to let them go like that? Aren't you afraid they'll take the opportunity to run back to the Fuxing Base?!]

The system volume was ridiculously low.

It didn't dare to speak in front of Shen Chengyin, but now that Su Han was so confused, it was getting anxious!

"It's better if they run away." Su Han smiled.

They ran away, so they had a reason to send the three of them on their way.

Shen Chengyin looked at Su Han while the system was speaking, but then looked away after a while.

The two entered the house and searched it thoroughly, inside and out.

Su Han suggested that she and Shen Chengyin search separately, but Shen Chengyin decisively refused.

Wherever he went, Shen Chengyin followed, like a shadow that he couldn't shake off.

Left with no other option, the two had to search together.

Besides essential daily necessities, the room also contained many unexpected items.

"A military canteen." Su Han picked up a dusty canteen. "There are still these here?"

"It must have been taken from the victim."

Shen Chengyin also picked up a bulletproof vest from the side, something that a normal survivor wouldn't be able to get their hands on.

The two searched the house thoroughly, but they couldn't find a child, or even a fly.

Su Han took out a piece of clothing from the pile of clothes. The clothing had a brand new logo, with a circle of hands forming a "V" shape.

If you look closely, you'll see this logo on several pieces of clothing around here.

This is...this is the symbol of Dawn Base.

System 111 made a sound.

Seeing that Shen Chengyin didn't react much after it spoke, it was completely relieved.

It seems that the male protagonist's psychic abilities can only detect its existence for now, but he can't do anything about it.

What's it afraid of?

Let them say what they want and criticize what they want. What will the male lead do to him in the future... it won't be a loss!

I'm just a worthless person, so I'll fight!

"Dawn Base? A base that only appears late in the original story?"

In the original text, after Shen Chengyin was captured from the mountain village and brought back to the Fuxing Base, he was subjected to inhuman torture.

The turning point came when Cheng Ruoyan was bitten and infected by a zombie. Cheng Yibin promised Shen Chengyin that he would let Shen Chengyin leave the Fuxing Base if he could save Cheng Ruoyan.

But by this time, Shen Chengyin had already learned that the truth about the grain theft case had been uncovered.

The higher-ups at the Fuxing Base all knew that Cheng Gaolang had stolen the grain. But if they made it public, it would be extremely embarrassing for Cheng Yibin and the other high-ranking officials. Cheng Yibin would also be accused of favoritism and corruption.

So, to save face and maintain their power, they chose not to reveal the truth, letting Shen Chengyin take the blame, bear the infamy of being a thief, and be pointed at and gossiped about by hundreds of thousands of survivors for the rest of his life.

Upon learning the truth, Shen Chengyin completely lost hope in the Fuxing Base and made a decision that no one had ever considered.

Shen Chengyin pretended to agree to save Cheng Ruoyan, but in reality, he wanted to find an opportunity to insert a stun gun into his own body.

He used his psychic abilities to control the zombie horde, even at the cost of his own life.

At that time, he wanted to die together with others.

The horde of zombies surged up relentlessly, seemingly possessing sentience, and always managed to evade the attacks of the superhumans.

The revival base was thus destroyed, leaving only a few thousand remnants.

People later called this disaster the "Cataclysm of Reconstruction".

Yes, KFC is right there.

The system repeated itself once, but seeing that Su Han did not react, it repeated itself again.

[Dawn Base is far from Resurgence Base, but it's far more developed. It's likely that the advance team sent by Dawn Base was ambushed when they arrived here.]

The system murmured.

"You know quite a lot. Was this mentioned in the original text?" Su Han asked.

Of course I wrote it, you probably forgot.

The two chatted back and forth, and when Su Han turned around, she found Shen Chengyin in a daze.

He was lost in thought, staring at the logos of the Dawn Base on the clothes.

Su Han's heart tightened, and she quickly went up to interrupt him, "What are you looking at so intently? If we can't find that child with lightning-type abilities, let's leave. Don't delay our journey."

Shen Chengyin never admitted to being reborn, and Su Han didn't want to accept this fact.

If the male protagonist is reborn, wouldn't that mean he has completely turned evil and has no chance of being redeemed?

At that point, Shen Chengyin, with his experience, will only accelerate the destruction of the world. Who will he complain to then?

But now it seems the male lead is quite well-behaved.

Shen Chengyin hummed in agreement and looked away.

Thoughts lingered beneath his dark eyes.

The two continued to wander around the house for more than half an hour, and even found items from the revival base among the victim's belongings.

Even the superhumans at the revival base fell for their tricks.

Su Han sighed.

Midway through their journey, they passed the room of the woman holding a baby, who was crying loudly beside her mother's body.

Perhaps she had been crying for too long, and now she was too tired to cry anymore, so she just sobbed intermittently.

"This child has lost his mother; I don't know if he'll even be able to grow up."

"I'll never grow up," Shen Chengyin replied.

"Are you so sure?" Su Han raised an eyebrow. "This kid has an older brother who is a lightning-type ability user."

Shen Chengyin: "This child will be eaten."

Su Han's smile froze on her face.

"Without adult guidance, children cannot form such a complete process."

Once all the available food is used up, these children, raised to be inhuman, will turn on their younger siblings.

Since babies have no offensive capabilities, they will definitely be the first to be eaten.

These children have been completely turned into tools; in order to survive, all they can think about is cannibalism.

It took Su Han a while to accept this explanation.

The two prepared to leave, passing through the collapsed iron gate one after the other.

In an instant, a steel cable suddenly swung out from behind and hit Shen Chengyin.

Extremely thin steel cables emerged from the ground beneath their feet.

Upon seeing the material of the rope, Su Han immediately became alert, "Watch out!—It's electrified!"
