Apocalypse: The White Moonlight Became a Possessive Mad Dog

On the main road leading to the main gate of the Dawn Base, a convoy of about eight or nine vehicles was moving steadily.

In the center of the convoy were two large trucks, fully loaded with various supplies, especially agricultural products such as grains and vegetables.

The escort vehicles at the front and rear had been reinforced and modified, with heavy weapons mounted on their roofs, giving them an imposing presence and clearly indicating formidable combat capabilities.

Most importantly, when the convoy stopped to rest, Su Han recognized several of the people in the group.

In fact, even without Su Han's reminder, Shen Chengyin, from this distance, had already figured out who the other person was.

Those people were Cheng Yibin's right-hand men, high-ranking members of the Fuxing Base. Their trip was most likely to establish diplomatic relations with the Shuguang Base, assess the strength of both sides, and conduct material transactions.

This roughly matches the events in Su Han's memory; the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two bases in the original text occurred around this time.

With a slight sway of the vines around their waists, Su Han and Shen Chengyin exchanged a glance, tacitly put away their vehicle, and switched to walking.

The vehicle's engine is too loud and easily spotted.

They slowed down and watched the convoy slowly drive into the majestic metal gates of the Dawn Base after undergoing rigorous checks.

When it was their turn to enter for screening, the two deliberately used aliases. In the chaos of the apocalypse, their previous social identities were untraceable. The base had to create new files for everyone, which conveniently allowed the two to infiltrate.

After leaving their basic information, having their fingerprints recorded, and having their blood drawn for filing, the staff issued each of them a temporary residence permit for the Shuguang Base.

This certificate is required to live normally in the base. However, temporary residence is subject to many restrictions. To become a formal resident of the base, one must undergo a series of assessments and a minimum 15-day observation period.

Su Han held the thin card in her hand, filled with emotion.

Dawn Base seems to be only one step away from rebuilding the pre-apocalyptic civilized order—or rather, its leaders are trying to create a completely new social system adapted to this era.

As the largest existing human base, Dawn Base has installed cameras at key locations such as warehouses, hospitals, and mission halls, making it virtually impossible for the two to move freely within the Revival Base as they had before.

Since we're already here, let's make the best of it. Whatever Shen Chengyin's purpose in coming here, the most urgent thing is to obtain formal residency status within fifteen days.

Otherwise, once the fifteen-day period is up, both of them will be kicked out.

Obtaining a residency certificate is not difficult. You can complete tasks or help out at the power plant or farmland within the base. Points are calculated proportionally based on the benefits your work brings to the base. Once you reach a certain number of points, you can stay.

When registering his identity, Su Han did not mention that he was a superhuman. He did not intend to expose his combat abilities during missions, but instead chose to work as a farmhand in the base.

With his physique, it would be easy for him to disguise himself as an ordinary person without superpowers.

Shen Chengyin only reported his wood-type ability. Ability users can usually apply for easier positions and get more points in return.

"I'll go to the farmland. You go to the Superpowered Person Management Office and ask if there are any other more suitable positions," Su Han instructed Shen Chengyin. "You must accumulate enough points within fifteen days."

Shen Chengyin listened quietly to Su Han for a long time without reacting at all. Only after Su Han finished speaking did he slowly say, "I'll go with you."

Su Han's forehead veins throbbed. "The points you can get by working in the fields are the lowest. There's no benefit for you being with me."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the seeds in Su Han's pocket began to grow wildly. Thick vines, as thick as hemp ropes, rustled and coiled around his waist, then brazenly climbed upwards, all the way to his neck.

He had no idea when Shen Chengyin had put the seeds in his pocket.

The vines affectionately brushed against the scar behind Su Han's ear, carrying a hint of forceful accusation. Su Han trembled slightly, then reluctantly changed her mind: "Fine, fine, you can come if you want, but you'll have to act convincingly."

They registered their identities as friends who met by chance on the street, and if they acted too intimately, people would definitely become suspicious.

Shen Chengyin hummed in agreement, and after a rustling sound, the vines retracted again.

The two rested briefly at their temporary lodgings for one night and then rushed to the farmland of the Dawn Base the next day.

The Dawn Base was larger than they had imagined; it took them more than half an hour to walk from their lodgings to the farmland.

Passing through neat streets and orderly residential areas, a vast expanse of farmland enclosed by simple fences and several towering barns gradually come into view.

The farmland stretched as far as the eye could see. In the season when wheat should not be ripe, the fields were a golden expanse, clearly the work of a wood-type ability user.

Many people were already busy in the fields, ordinary people without superpowers bending down to harvest wheat, a scene of vigorous and peaceful farming.

Su Han stepped forward and greeted the person in charge, who then gave the two of them two sickles and a basket.

With a shortage of harvesting machinery and a grain supply falling short of demand, the only option was to mobilize able-bodied ordinary people within the base to rush the harvest.

The two tried to harvest wheat in the field like the others, but they were not very skilled and their speed was much slower than others.

I only bent down and cut a few times before my lower back started to ache.

Su Han stared at the few scattered ears of wheat on the ground, carefully picked them up with her fingers, and put them into the basket.

Their plot of land was the slowest to harvest, and soon the person in charge sent others over to help.

Those people were clearly permanent residents of the Dawn Base, well-informed, chatting as they quickly harvested the wheat, completely oblivious to the other people around them.

"Sigh, the people from the Fuxing Base have finally sent people over. I heard they are all highly skilled superhumans, they're really impressive."

"Ha, you had to come because our advance team found your location a while ago, right? I heard that base is tiny, not even half the size of ours."

"Don't say that. They brought quite a few gifts. By the way, they came here this time because they need something from you."

"How so?"

"Their leader's daughter was almost killed by a superhuman, who fled to avoid punishment. The Reconstruction Base is now issuing a worldwide warrant for their arrest. I bet the wanted posters will be up on the bulletin board soon..."

How do you know all this?

"Hey... my man's in the building making tea for those people, he can't hear what they're trying to hear."

Su Han was taken aback when she heard the words "the leader's daughter".

It's understandable that Cheng Yibin would try to smear them and issue arrest warrants, but Cheng Ruoyan couldn't possibly survive.

He watched helplessly as Li Tiangan stabbed Cheng Ruoyan in the heart; with that much bleeding, even if the stab had missed, she would have certainly died.

Cheng Ruoyan could not possibly still be alive.

Unless there's a life-sustaining ability user present who's at a higher level than Shen Chengyin, but how is that possible...?

Shen Chengyin, who was standing next to him, had obviously also heard about Cheng Ruoyan. His eyes darkened slightly, and he straightened up, looking at the granary behind him.

Su Han pondered for a while, then suddenly put away the sickle in his hand.

"Shen Chengyin, we have to leave here."

Cheng Ruoyan is still alive, and Li Tiangan's situation is precarious. All the witnesses from their operation that day are dead, but Cheng Ruoyan, whom Li Tiangan personally dealt with, is the only survivor.

Furthermore, the two bases have reached an agreement that they are now wanted criminals. Once the wanted posters are put up on the bulletin board, they're both finished.

The Dawn Base absolutely cannot be left standing.

Shen Chengyin raised his hand and used his fingertips to brush away the stray hairs by Su Han's ear.

"Okay, where are we going to escape to?" he asked, his voice so calm it was unreadable.

"Who said we were going to run away?" Su Han lowered her voice, her eyes filled with an uncontrollable chill. "Of course we're going back to the Fuxing Base."

It won't do if Cheng Ruoyan isn't dead; Li Tiangan also needs to be saved.

This time, he's going to burn the entire Cheng family to ashes.
