"This scoundrel has fully demonstrated his ingratitude!"
"He just liked to show off at first, how did he become so wicked?"
"He was the boss back then, and there was no survival crisis, so of course he had to feign benevolence and collect support."
"It's when facing death that true human nature is revealed."
Facing a choice between life and death.
Some people cease to be human.
To survive.
They disregard humanity, morality, and camaraderie. Their bottom line is that they have no bottom line.
No different from beasts!
"Brothers! I found Zhang Tianbao's house, but... I can't do anything!"
Suddenly!
A bullet comment appeared in the live stream.
This extreme netizen, hating Zhang Tianbao's shamelessness, had actually gone to find his family.
"Bro, what do you mean you can't do anything?"
"The police are protecting them! The police said, no matter what he does on the apocalypse planet, he's still a Great Xia adventurer. Sigh..."
In fact.
Whether it was the police or the high-ranking officials of Great Xia, on a purely personal emotional level, they all found Zhang Tianbao utterly despicable.
But...
What could they do?
The nation had its considerations.
As long as one went to the apocalypse planet, it was equivalent to serving the country.
If their families were not protected...
Just imagine.
In the future, would the adventurers who supplemented the ranks be willing to fight for the country?
"Too detestable!"
"However, from the country's perspective, this is understandable."
"Do you think... can adventurers ever come back?"
"It would be great if they could come back! With Feng Ge's personality, if he knew Zhang Tianbao framed him... he'd definitely skin him alive!"
"Right! If Feng Ge wanted to deal with him, the country wouldn't interfere, right?"
And so.
The netizens, who hated Zhang Tianbao to the bone but were helpless against him, placed their remaining hope on Qin Feng.
However, would the adventurers on the apocalypse planet truly return to Blue Star?
...
The eastern foothills of Yan Mountain.
Late at night.
Seven people and a bird traveled by moonlight.
Qin Feng had originally estimated they would arrive by evening.
However, due to the village being overrun by zombies, Wang Shouli insisted on burying the deceased, which caused a significant delay.
After traveling all day, everyone was exhausted.
No one complained.
The other team members were absolutely obedient to Qin Feng.
As for the Wang Shou li couple, they were genuinely grateful to Qin Feng.
"We're here."
Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief.
"Our base... is here?"
Zhou Haiyang was bewildered.
This was at the foot of the eastern foothills of Yan Mountain. All that could be seen was mountain ranges, and no human signs.
"Stop babbling, keep up!" Qin Feng strode forward.
Suddenly!
After walking for a few hundred meters through a forested area, the scenery opened up dramatically.
A road wound through the mountains.
At the end of the road.
A massive cave had been excavated at the base of the mountain.
"What is this?!" Han Ling exclaimed in surprise.
"An air-raid shelter."
Qin Feng waved his hand, signaling everyone to follow.
In his previous life, although he hadn't come to Yan Mountain in the early stages, he had visited it multiple times later on.
He had traveled over a hundred kilometers specifically to come here.
In the mid-20th century, Great Xia on the apocalypse planet, to guard against northern threats, had built many air-raid shelters across the country, which were later abandoned.
Now, in the apocalypse.
This place had become the best base.
Warm in winter and cool in summer.
Easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Crucially, there was a road built by the military.
Although not close to Shangjing, the end of this road connected to Shangjing's outer ring.
It allowed for offense and defense.
The internal space was vast.
Enough to house thousands of people.
Here.
This would be Qin Feng's starting point on the apocalypse planet!
"Rest first, we'll discuss things tomorrow," Qin Feng said.
Given the current situation, it wasn't yet easy to defend and difficult to attack.
Modifications would be needed later.
The entrance needed trenches and defensive fortifications, and the interior also required renovation.
"How are we supposed to sleep here..." Jiang Xia mumbled.
The air-raid shelter had long been abandoned.
It was completely empty inside.
"Xia'er, I'll give you my clothes to cover yourself, it'll be fine," Wang Shou li comforted her.
"I'm so hungry..." Han Xiao whispered.
"Caw caw!"
Bird Lord flapped its wings proudly at Qin Feng.
It knew Qin Feng's secret and was not worried about food, clothing, or shelter at all.
Of course.
Xiao Ruoruo and Zhou Haiyang also knew.
Qin Feng looked at Wang Shou li and said, "Follow me, and you'll never be cold or hungry."
Whoosh!
With a flash of light.
A large amount of supplies appeared out of thin air.
Beds.
Mattresses.
Bedding, quilts, dining tables, sofas, dressing tables.
Most outrageously, the dining table was laden with various pre-packaged semi-finished foods!
The Wang Shou li couple stared in amazement.
Was this magic?
Where did all these things come from?!
Qin Feng took out a diesel generator, installed the wiring and lights, and the air-raid shelter immediately lit up.
"Make do for now, we'll build independent rooms inside later."
He picked up a pre-packaged meal, opened it, and said while eating, "Eat up, everyone, then sleep."
Everyone was tired and sleepy.
After eating.
They all lay down on their beds and fell fast asleep.
Only Qin Feng.
He found a desk from his dimensional space and lay on it, writing and drawing.
He needed to prepare the design for the base renovation.
"Captain, are you free?" Xiao Ruoruo walked over.
"What is it?" Qin Feng didn't look up.
"Let's go for a walk?"
"..."
Qin Feng glanced at her, then finally nodded and stood up.
Outside the air-raid shelter.
Perhaps due to the halt of industry.
Or perhaps the mountain air was good.
Without smog to obstruct it, the moonlight was very bright.
"What do you want to say?" Qin Feng asked.
"Isn't the moon here very similar to the moon back home?" Xiao Ruoruo looked at the moon.
"This place is very similar to Blue Star."
"But, there are zombies here, there's an apocalypse, but no family or friends."
Suddenly!
Xiao Ruoruo looked at him, "Captain, will we... never be able to go back?"
Her eyes were filled with sadness.
She missed home.
Following Qin Feng was undoubtedly the right choice.
But!
What was the point of surviving?
This world offered only despair, while in another world, she had the family she cared about.
She was alive.
Her parents were also alive.
But even though they were all alive, they would never see each other again!
Qin Feng was taken aback.
Did he not have people he cared about?
The difference was.
Xiao Ruoruo's family was still alive.
In his previous life, his original world, Blue Star, had been destroyed by the cataclysm.
His family...
Was gone!
Time flowed backward, and he was reborn.
This time, Great Xia was not subjected to the cataclysm, and his parents were still alive in this world!
"We can go back."
At this moment, his gaze became firm. "After this storyline ends, we can return to Blue Star."
"You... you're not lying to me?" Xiao Ruoruo was surprised and a little skeptical.
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
"Really?!"
Xiao Ruoruo was extremely excited.
"Really!"
Qin Feng nodded, "The premise is, we must survive!"
If they died.
They would die in a foreign land, and their bodies would not even be able to return.
"Survive..."
Suddenly!
Xiao Ruoruo threw herself into Qin Feng's arms.
She was very proactive.
Without the slightest hesitation.
Her lips landed on Qin Feng's.
"What are you doing?!" Qin Feng frowned and pushed her away.
"The first time you saw her, you... why can't I?!" Xiao Ruoruo stared at him, biting her lip.
"She was insignificant then, and you are my teammate!" Qin Feng rebuked coldly.
"So..."
Xiao Ruoruo froze.
She recalled the events at the supermarket that night.
