By 3 p.m., everyone had used up most of their skills.

I decided to drive back to base.

Zhang Zhiming drove the return trip; everyone was too tired to talk.

Zhang Zhiming drove smoothly, and Shi Jinwei couldn't help but close her eyes and take a short nap.

In a daze, I heard someone in the car exclaiming softly.

It was Chen Kun in the passenger seat.

He knew his teammates were resting, and immediately shut up after realizing what was happening.

The group was eventually woken up by the noise.

They all looked out the front window, and their expressions changed.

The base gate and moat, which had just been repaired, were destroyed again.

The situation inside is unknown; only vague figures can be seen moving around within the base.

Shi Jinwei immediately took out her binoculars and looked inside, finding it in complete disarray.

Collapsed houses were everywhere, and blood stained the ground.

Countless severed limbs and half-body parts were scattered on the ground.

A scene of hell on earth.

The superhumans who had returned to the base earlier than them had already jumped out of the vehicle to help the wounded.

"My God, has it been attacked by mutated plants again?"

Liu Yuanyuan took the binoculars and looked at them, unable to believe it.

Shi Jinwei carefully observed the pits and found that the plants inside had not changed much.

"It might be a beast tide," Zhou Kexin said in a deep voice, as if she had seen something.

Zhang Zhiming floored the accelerator.

The car sped back to base.

The protective wall was half broken, and the telescope could only see the tip of the iceberg.

Only after entering the base did I realize how tragic the scene was.

Having gone through so many dungeons, players have seen plenty of terrible scenes.

The ground was covered in blood, with human remains scattered everywhere – this was truly a first.

The beast tide arrived in the afternoon.

At this time, most superhumans are out on missions and unable to return.

The base is mostly populated by ordinary people and guards.

The ratio of superhumans in the guard team is three to one.

The higher-ups kept these superhumans around to protect themselves, and the rest were the troops protecting the base.

This beast tide came suddenly, without any warning.

The people in the base thought it was an earthquake and rushed to find shelter.

It wasn't until a six- or seven-meter-tall black bear suddenly poked its head out from behind the wall that everyone realized what was happening.

This wasn't an earthquake at all; it was just the ground shaking caused by a huge beast running.

Dozens of wild beasts poked their heads out from outside the wall, drooling at the people in the city.

The guards had long since been terrified and disappeared.

The residents inside the base could only watch helplessly as these mutated beasts easily breached the protective wall and poured in.

With no superhumans present, the higher-ups ordered the superhumans in the guard team to protect them closely.

Ordinary people are powerless against these beasts, and what follows is a one-sided slaughter.

They wanted to call for help, hoping the superhumans would return quickly.

But they couldn't get in touch with them at all.

They only dispersed when the wild beasts were tired of "playing".

Shi Jinwei and the others quickly got out of the car to help the superhuman rescue the people.

After Zhou Kexin's skills were upgraded, she gained the "group healing" ability.

She walked among the wounded, where more than a dozen people lay on the ground groaning.

With a single skill she uses, patients with minor injuries are instantly healed.

The critically ill patients were not cured immediately, and their pain was relieved.

The other superhumans looked over with delight at the sight.

Healing abilities, purification abilities, spatial abilities, and other special abilities are rare in large cities.

Not to mention small places like theirs.

Now that a healing-type superpower has suddenly appeared, everyone is very happy.

Shi Jinwei and four others also joined the rescue efforts.

By evening, the superhumans had gathered all the injured near the small square.

So far, no official representatives have been seen.

"There are never any officials around at crucial moments."

While bandaging an aunt's wound, Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but complain to her friend.

The aunt leaned weakly against her daughter, and gave a bitter laugh upon hearing this: "What official support is there anymore? We saw them drive away with their men when we were escaping."

"What?" Liu Yuanyuan couldn't help but exclaim.

Her voice was a bit loud, attracting the attention of everyone around her.

Several people with superpowers were nearby and naturally heard what the aunt said; their expressions turned grim.

No one mentioned it earlier, and the residents didn't have the energy to talk about it.

Liu Yuanyuan's unintentional complaint brought the matter to the forefront.

The superhumans were momentarily stunned upon receiving this news.

One person muttered, "No one cares about us anymore. What are we going to do now?"

"I haven't submitted my task yet; those are points!"

"Now that the top leader has left, should we also go to another base?"

……

Although management failed to act.

But while they were there, the base was functioning normally.

Now that they're gone, everyone is horrified to discover that the base is no longer functioning properly.

A woman's voice rang out angrily: "Are you all stupid? The manager is gone, so you can all take charge yourselves. Isn't that a good thing?"

You can tell he's a gamer just by listening to him.

The residents were even more confused: "Take charge? How can we take charge? The base is in such a state, and you call this a good thing?"

"Those people weren't born managers; they all learned through trial and error."

Another player stepped forward.

Shi Jinwei knew that these residents had gotten used to their previous lives.

In these difficult times, all they want is to live peacefully and have a place to call home.

Although the top leader is inactive, he serves as a spiritual symbol within the base.

With management in place, everyone feels that Anping Base is Anping Base.

Now that their leader has left, they feel abandoned and don't know where to go from here.

But other players may not think that way.

They felt these NPCs were too weak-willed, and now was the perfect time to elect a new leader.

I was about to try to persuade them when someone suddenly stood up from the crowd.

She was a woman in her thirties, dressed in tattered clothes.

One arm was suspended by a gray rope, with tattered clothes wrapped around it.

There was no gauze bandage; it was just barely acceptable.

She first gestured for everyone to be quiet, then pursed her dry lips: "Now is not the time to discuss who should be the leader. The protective wall is breached, and we don't know if the beast tide will come again. I think we should first try to repair the protective wall."

The residents and players agreed, nodding in unison.

He looked at the woman, wanting to hear her continue.

"Hey girl, what are your thoughts? Tell me," someone encouraged her.

Seeing that no one objected and everyone agreed with her statement.

The woman also found courage: "Just like before, the superhumans will repair the city walls. The others will settle the patients collectively. Those people left, they must have taken a lot of supplies with them, there should still be some left. Let's find them and use them as supplies for future war."

When the group of wild beasts left, they all looked like they hadn't had enough.

They will definitely come again, and they must be prepared to fight.

Everyone knew this and agreed with her.
