2in1 again~
Jiang Pingce used the coordinate system formula to fly through several streets in a row with his teammates, and when the skill was about to cooldown, he let everyone land on the ground.
The density of sand and dust in the air was higher than that of the ground, and the wind was strong at night. Everyone was freezing and sneezing furiously. Liu Zhaoqing coughed a few times, forcing the dryness in his throat, and typed on the chat channel and asked: “Has our base location been exposed ah?”
Xu Yishen replied: “I don’t think so. Everyone was caught midway, two kilometers from the base at that time.”
Yue Xingwen replied: “When I returned to the base with Pingce and young Ke, I checked, and the wooden board covering the entrance had no traces of being moved. No other people’s footprints were found. But I’m afraid we’ve been going back and forth today to sell oranges, and if we’re being followed, they’ve probably found our hiding place.”
Ke Shaobin said: “I also think that they are likely to be secretly eyeing us for a long time.”
Zhuo Feng frowned and said: “What exactly is the origin of this gang?”
Xu Yishen sighed and said, “You were under anesthesia and locked up, and you didn’t know what these crazy people were doing. Right next to the cell where you are being held, there is a kitchen, and I saw a lot of human severed limbs and a large cauldron.”
Zhang Xiaonian was horrified: “Senior brother means, they are eating human flesh?”
Xu Yishen nodded: “En. If we didn’t escape in time, I suspect that their next plan was to force us to ask us where those oranges came from and make us hand over the resources. If we don’t listen, they’ll kill and eat us.”
The teammates who had just escaped from the prison looked uglier one by one.
Fortunately, Xu Yishen changed into a cell in advance because he was lazy and escaped a disaster; And Xingwen’s Pingce, Ke Shaobin’s support speed was fast enough that they could escape without risk.
Otherwise, it was really impossible to imagine.
Yue Xingwen said: “These issues will be discussed later. Where do we go next? Back to base first?”
Jiang Pingce said calmly: “The base is not necessarily safe. I think we have to live in another place.”
There was Zhang Xiaonian, and they could build another base at any time. It was convenient to change places. However, the supplies left at the base…
Xu Yishen said: “Those quilts, beds, and tens of thousands of liters of water that have been made, it’s a pity to give up directly. As long as Qin Lu’s plate movement skill is refreshed, it can be moved.”
Ke Shaobin added; “There are also three big bags of vegetables that we bought in the supermarket, which cost more than 500 yuan. It’s a pity to throw them away directly. In the future we can no longer go out and make money as unscrupulous as we do today, and those dishes will be enough for us to eat for a week.”
Yue Xingwen looked at Xiao Tu leading the way in front and said, “Xiao Tu, what time is it?”
Xiao Tu used to only recognize Ke Shaobin’s voice, but now it could recognize the voices of all team members. Hearing this, it immediately reported: “At 11:30 pm, it’s late, it’s time for you to go to bed!”
There was still half an hour to go until 00:00 am, when Qin Lu’s skill could be refreshed.
Yue Xingwen said, “In this way, I will go back to the base with senior brother Xu and Qin Lu, sort out the materials in the base, and carry them together at 00:00 am. Others can go build another base.”
Jiang Pingce asked, “Where should we choose the place?”
Yue Xingwen thought for a while, and said, “The top of the mountain.” He looked at his teammates around him and explained, “The residents of this city rarely go to the mountains, and firstly, the air on the mountains is worse than the ground, and there is too much floating sand, which is easy to cause breathing difficulties; Second, the mountain is bare, not an inch of grass, and there is no scenery to see when climbing up. It’s safest to choose that place as our base.”
Lin Manluo said, “Xiao Nian can dig a big pit on the top of the mountain and build another base, but the air quality at the top of the mountain is very poor, and my green tree can only purify for 1 hour a day, can everyone bear it?”
Xin Yan suddenly said, “I have a way.”
Lin Manluo looked back at him, and Xin Yan continued, “I can collect fresh air with distilled flask and seal the flask. As long as it’s not heated by the spirit lamp, the distilled flask can be used as a temporary ‘air reserve bottle’, and when senior sister’s air purification skill is in cooldown, we can open the fresh air in the distilled flask to breathe.”
Ke Shaobin’s eyes lit up. “In this way, do we have a constant supply of fresh air?!”
Xin Yan nodded. “Theoretically, yes. Because senior sister’s air purification is range purification, there is no capacity limit, and the air will always flow. For 1 hour, I can store a large number of air bottles.”
Upon hearing this, the teammates lamented one after another—— The Chemistry Department’s distillation flask was truly an all-around thing!
Not only could it be used to make distilled water, cook porridge, cook vegetables, but also use it as a container that could be made larger and smaller at any time. Using distillation flasks as temporary ‘reserve air bottles’ could indeed solve the current problem.
Yue Xingwen said simply, “Just do it. Pingce, you can lead the team up the mountain, and I will go back to the base with senior brother Xu and Qin Lu. Make a navigation map on the way up the mountain, and when the time comes, you will directly give Qin Lu a path in the chat channel.”
Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen and whispered, “Be careful.”
Yue Xingwen nodded and said, “You guys be careful too, every five minutes hit 1 to confirm in the chat channel.”
Everyone separated at the fork in the road. Yue Xingwen, Xu Yishen, and Qin Lu returned to the base.
Just now, in order to find his teammates first, the three large bags of vegetables bought from the supermarket were placed by Ke Shaobin under the wooden board at the entrance of the base, and Xu Yishen said, “I’ll go down first to explore the road.”
He quickly used mitosis to split into five, lifted the planks and entered the base. A moment later, a word from Xu Yishen appeared on the chat channel: “No one has come underground, they should not have time to attack our base yet, hurry up.”

“The water on the other side of the warehouse also had to be moved too, so it can’t be discovered.”
Qin Lu nodded and said, “I can only use Plate Movement for 12 times, can I finish moving so many things?”
Yue Xingwen said, “12 times is enough. Pingce will give you accurate angles and data at that time. From here to the foot of the mountain is less than a kilometer. Switch places once to move things to the foot of the mountain, and then switch positions again, we can reach the top of the mountain.”
The Plate Movement did not require things to be in the same horizontal plane, and it could also be transported at an inclined upward direction.
At 00:00 am, Jiang Pingce’s message appeared on the chat channel: “Are you ready? First straight forward 400 meters, then inclined 45 degrees upwards 513 meters.”
Qin Lu immediately typed: “Roger.”
The three began to move, and after two consecutive shifts, they appeared on a flat area at the top of the mountain.
Judging from the level of the ground, it was clear that classmate Zhang Xiaonian used the bulldozer and the roller to flatten it. Not far away, Zhang Xiaonian had dug a big hole and was working on the construction of cement floors and earthquake-proof walls.
Xu Yishen smiled and joked, “Junior brother, this is a person topping an engineering team ah!”
The excavator in Zhang Xiaonian’s hand was like a transformer, turning into a bulldozer in one moment, a road roller and a mixer in the next, and his one-man engineering team could be more efficient than hundreds of workers.
In the blink of an eye, Zhang Xiaonian made a new base, and he also transformed the original design plan. The two bathrooms were twice as large as the base at the beginning, which was convenient for Xing Yan to divide into several compartments.
Zhang Xiaonian ran over and said, “You can move things now!”
Qin Lu immediately switched places and quickly moved things into the ‘new home’, and his teammates also walked down the steps into the new basement and allocated their bedrooms.
Yue Xingwen walked to Jiang Pingce’s side and asked in a low voice, “That base at the foot of the mountain, should we just destroy it?”
Jiang Pingce agreed and said, “En. If those people find out, there will be endless consequences.”
Yue Xingwen waved towards Zhang Xiaonian and said, “Xiao Nian, you have to work hard, let’s go back to the foot of the mountain to bulldoze the previous base.”
Zhang Xiaonian said, “Okay!”
Qin Lu came over and asked, “Do you need me to take you back?”
Yue Xingwen smiled and said, “No need, your skill usage is limited, so keep it for now. Pingce can send us over with parabola, too.”
Jiang Pingce had a map navigation all the way over, he knew the specific coordinates of the base, and a parabola from the top of the mountain could directly send three people to the gate of the base.
Zhang Xiaonian summoned the bulldozer out, and the underground base was instantly destroyed under the action of the bulldozer of the construction department.
After cleaning up their trails, the three of them then parabolic back to the top of the mountain.
The teammates were still packing up their things, and when they saw the three come back, Xu Yishen took the initiative to come over and asked, “All cleaned up?”
Yue Xingwen nodded. “En. The base built by the Architecture Department is all earthquake-proof walls, which can only be destroyed by the bulldozer of the Architecture Department, and the ground will return to its original state after destruction.”
Everyone was relieved to hear this.
This mountain was not high. Looking at the top of the mountain, the whole city was hazy, all buildings were shrouded in a layer of yellow sand, there was no light, and they could not see any starlight.
The lifeless city made it feel depressing to stay for another day.
The 12 people stood on the top of the mountain and were silent for a moment. Zhang Xiaonian coughed a few times and said, “Let’s go back to the base, can senior sister Manluo turn on the air purification?The wind is too sandy, cough cough… I can’t breathe.”
Lin Manluo said, “Okay, everyone go back to the base.”
Everyone walked down the steps into the underground base, and Liu Zhaoqing buckled the entrance with a prepared wooden board.
Li n Manluo summoned the green tree, and the air around her instantly became extremely fresh and clean. Everyone took off their masks one after another, breathing deeply as if they had been in a drought for a long time. After inhaling the fresh air for half a minute, they finally eased up.
Xin Yan began to collect air with distillation flasks, while the others sat on the wooden pier and talked about their next plans.
Yue Xingwen looked at Jiang Pingce and asked, “What do you think about that bandit organization? Do we hide here and finish 14 days to clear, or do we go to them to settle the score?”
Zhuo Feng said indignantly, “Those are a bunch of mad thugs! If they just see us selling oranges, being greedy and catching us to grab resources, I can still understand. After all, this world is short of resources, and it is also our fault for making big moves, so that they remember us. However… they actually eat human flesh! Fuck, too disgusting!”
Jiang Pingce said coldly, “In this world, it’s difficult for plants to survive, the cost of animal breeding is also very high, people can’t eat several meals of meat all year round, and the most easily available meat food—— isn’t it human?”
Ke Shaobin shook the goosebumps on his spine, resisted the urge to vomit, and said, “I just starve to death, I don’t want to eat human flesh, it’s terrible. These people have lost their humanity…”
Lin Manluo’s face was extremely serious.
This was a vicious circle caused by environmental pollution.
Water sources and soil were contaminated and plants could not grow.
Without sufficient plants, it was difficult to breed livestock and poultry, resulting in humans who could not afford to eat fresh vegetables and fruits, let alone fresh meat products. They could only rely on tasteless compressed biscuits day after day to fill their hunger.
Struggling to survive in the environment of long-term air pollution, gradually, some people lost their humanity and began to survive by dishonorable means such as robbery and killing, and later, the murderers began to eat people, and the killed were powerless to resist…
People didn’t know how long they had to survive in such a harsh environment?
Lin Manluo sighed and said, “With our ability, there is nothing we can do to change anything. The worldwide environmental malevolence does not happen overnight. The control of soil, water and air pollution here, let alone a few days, even if a few years or a dozen years may not be completed, it’s likely to require the efforts of several generations.”
It took a particularly long time for environmental problems to improve. But it was particularly easy to destroy.
The environment of this world had become like this, as their ancestors made their own evil. Even if their Research Group 183 had special abilities, there was no way to change the world to a blue sky and white clouds.
Everyone was silent for a moment, and Yue Xingwen said, “We have endless oranges, vegetables, water, fresh air and compressed biscuits. There is no problem hiding here until we pass the examination. As for whether that organization should be dealt with or not, let’s decide.”
Jiang Pingce glanced at Yue Xingwen.
Under the illumination of the spirit lamp, Xingwen’s face looked a little pale. After a busy day today, he went to save his teammates against the cold wind and his physical condition was obviously not very good.
Jiang Pingce touched Xingwen’s hand in the dark lightly, and found that his fingers were cold, so he immediately said, “It’s too cold here, it’s better to light a fire to keep warm.”
Lin Manluo’s tree had not yet been put away. Liu Zhaoqing sawed some branches as materials, and Xin Yan lit a fire with a spirit lamp.
Everyone gathered around the fire, chatting while roasting, and suddenly it was much more comfortable.
Yue Xingwen said, “Senior sister Manluo is right, the environment here is hopeless, unless they are willing to spend several generations to slowly manage. We passersby couldn’t help at all, and in 12 days we’ll be back to the library.”
He paused and said word by word, “However, knowing about this organization that robs, kills, and even eats human flesh, if we sit idly by, even if we go back after passing the examinations, I believe everyone will have regrets in their hearts.”
Zhuo Feng was the first to agree. “That’s right! We can’t help with the big ones, but it’s not hard to clean up this organization.”
Xu Yishen also said, “To be honest, I saw the scene of them eating human flesh at that time, I really…. Ai, among them are the arms of small children, so small children are killed, simply a group of crazy people.”
Liu Zhaoqing patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t think about it, just think of it as watching a horror movie.”
Xu Yishen smiled bitterly. “It’s indeed a horror movie.”
Yue Xingwen glanced at his teammates and asked, “Find an opportunity to clean up this organization, do you agree?”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
Thinking of being caught in prison at that time, and almost became the food in the belly of those people. Everyone’s spine felt a chill!
The environment of this world was already very difficult. These things that were not worthy of being called ‘people’, were not needed to waste resources.
Environmental Pollution Complete – Continue
Over the next few days, the group spent time at the base to recuperate, while launching a detailed investigation of the organization.
Xiao Tu was monitoring the teammates all the way with radar monitoring and drawing detailed navigation routes along the way. WIth this navigation map, everyone quickly found the organization’s lair. Xu Yishen turned into cells, and it was very easy to blend into their lair.
After Xu Yishen’s cell skill was upgraded, he could turn his teammates into cells.
Together with Liu Zhaoqing, Yue Xingwen, and Jiang Pingce, he turned into cells, and as an investigation team, they mixed into the base camp of the organization, and clearly understood the personnel structure and formation of the entire organization.
There were 33 members of this organization, and the leader was a middle-aged man with a beard.
When his family was so poor that he was about to starve to death, he ruthlessly ate his wife, fled everywhere, and came to the city, gathering a group of ‘like-minded’ madmen. They hid in the dark, roamed around committing crimes, and with anesthesia bullets in their hands, almost none of the people they captured escaped. The official could not know their specific whereabouts.
Yesterday, the greedy capture of Liu Zhaoqing and his group was the first time they kicked the iron plate.
During the investigation, the four heard these people talking about that day, “Are the few people caught that day aliens? Why do they fly?”
“It’s definitely not an alien, there should be some kind of special function!”
Yue Xingwen: “…”
We are the devil group, meeting us and your days are over.
After they finished their investigation, they returned to the base and organized the information.
Directly use their special abilities to kill people, they couldn’t do it. Although these people were mad, they were still human beings, and Yue Xingwen did not want to let the hands of his classmates be stained with blood.
There was still order in this world, not a completely ungoverned chaotic city. Official control of water resources, distribution of drinking water to people, and naturally there were official police who would maintain order in human society.
Ke Shaobin asked Xiao Tu to print photos of the members of the organization. Jiang Pingce drew the road map and topographic map of the organization’s base camp. Liu Zhaoqing sorted out the storage location and number of their anesthesia bullets, and Yue Xingwen also wrote clearly about the living habits of these people.
For detailed information, Xu Yishen secretly sent it to the mailbox of the police force.
Next, it was handed over to the official to deal with. Those thugs did not have particularly powerful weapons, as long as the official mastered their whereabouts and base camp, they would certainly be defeated.
Let the affairs of this world be handled by the human beings here.
Their Research Group 173 had done its part.
After returning to the base, a stone in their heart fell to the ground, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Ke Shaobin joked, “Xingwen, I didn’t expect you to send the information to the police station. I thought you were going to take us to do a big job!”
Yue Xingwen laughed, “Taking you guys to kill? I don’t want to set that precedent.”
They had used their powers to attack spiders, wolves, and mutant creatures from the Faculty of Biological Science, but they had never killed anyone.
Even if those were bad people, even if the 12 of them had no qualms about killing, although at the time might feel they had ‘see the injustice’ ‘righteousness to eliminate evil’ spirit, but Yue Xingwen did not know, when the dust settles, back to reality, they would not remember these experiences, and thus have nightmares?
Yue Xingwen hoped that everyone could come to the library cleanly and walked out of the library with a clear conscience.
After all, they still had to return to normal life. There were also examinations, essays, graduation, and they still had to find a job…
They couldn’t be lost here, leaving a stain of killing people.
Jiang Pingce looked at Yue Xingwen and said seriously, “Yo made the right decision. We are just passers-by, and the problems of this world are left to the people of this world to solve themselves.”
Ke Shaobin smiled and said, “I’m just kidding! I won’t dare to kill someone if you really let me kill… in the future, if I really have no choice and have to kill someone, I’ll let Xiao tu go!”
Xiao Tu: “Master??”
Liu Zhaoqing smiled and touched Xiao Tu’s head. “You are the one who carries the pot for your master.”
Xiao Tu: “Xiao Tu has crashed, don’t call Xiao Tu.”
Ke Shaobin: “… Are you going to become a spirit?”
Everyone returned to the base and sorted out the materials, and Yue Xingwen used the Torrential Rain and Figure from the Back skill to copy a batch of oranges, and then thousands of oranges were enough for them to eat for a long time.
The vegetables bought earlier were made into vegetable soup by Xin Yan as a daily meal.
Ke Shaobin couldn’t help but complain, “Why do cabbage, potatoes, eggplants, radishes and tomatoes have to be cooked together? Xin Yan, you are a rookie cook, can’t you cook separately?”
Xin Yan said lightly, “You don’t say you wanted to separate.”
Ke Shaobin: “…”
Everyone ate the strange-tasting ‘chowder and vegetable soup’, each with a complicated face. Looking back, the grain porridge eaten at the Faculty of Biological Science was simply delicious ah! This vegetable soup had the smell of ‘rinse water’, which was really terrible…
Fortunately, from that day on, Ke Shaobin snatched the position of ‘chef’ from Xin Yan, and the tomato soup made was quite delicious.
Time flies.
The following days were very boring. Although they hid in the basement, their conditions were limited, but compared with the people of this world, the environment they lived in was like a paradise.
On the 14th day of the examination, everyone stood on the top of the mountain and took one last look at the city.
The environment was still the same as when they first arrived, wind and sand obscuring the sky and sun, the whole city was shrouded in a haze, and people here struggled to survive every day. Occasionally, diarrhea could kill people.
None of the 12 of them had the power to change anything.
However, everyone was surprised to find that when the weather was not too hot in the evening, a car slowly drove to the suburbs, stopped at the foot of the mountain, and some people dressed in white were collecting soil samples here.
Lin Manluo’s eyes lit up and said, “It should be the scientific researchers of this world, they have not given up yet!”
Yue Xingwen said, “It seems that they have been trying to deal with the problem of soil pollution. As long as they persist, after years or even decades of effort, the environment may be improved?”
Just maybe.
But if you don’t do anything, you don’t even have a ‘maybe’.
The predecessor was the cause, and the later generation bore the results. Their ancestors destroyed the homes they depended on, but they could work to give their descendants and rebuild a better home.
Why do you go to the top of mountain??? It’s the place with the dirtiest air!
Thank you for your translation 💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
My first thought on this arc was that they will save this world from ending HDHDJSJSJIDJSJS. This arc was actually fun seeing them improvise daily living with their skills. 😭Quite saddened by this because this may also be our future if we don’t stop destroying earth 🧍🧍
