“Green, green! His blood is green!”
“Monster! It’s a monster!”
“He’s from the ability user team! Ability users are not human! Their blood has turned green!”
The wound of a “plant person” was unexpectedly discovered to be oozing green blood, driving everyone in the air-raid shelter into madness.
Associating it with the people who mysteriously disappeared from the base, even if those individuals were secretly captured and killed by their own kind, the frenzied people now collectively blamed them for everything.
People from the same team couldn’t believe it either. Those individuals who had their bodies invaded by plants, although their language system had problems and normal communication was impossible, simple communication was still achievable. Moreover, they usually behaved similarly to ordinary people in their actions and showed no signs of harm. How could they have imagined that these people were no longer human?
These concerns led them to neglect the attacks launched by ordinary people. If the conflicts between the two sides yesterday night were limited to the ability users suppressing ordinary people with their powerful abilities, now the ability users, shocked and unable to react in time, suffered heavy losses due to sudden attacks.
Human blood, frenzied mutual attacks – the scenes of chaos and violence played out again on the following morning.
“It’s chaotic again?!” Upon receiving the notification, Colonel Lu got up and quickly walked to the room where Elder Wu was located. He greeted the two guards at the door, knocked, and entered.
Elder Wu had just gotten up not long ago. The rooms for these leaders were larger than those for Xu Song and the others, consisting of a living room and a bedroom. However, there weren’t many miscellaneous items inside, only some familiar furniture moved from their original residences.
“What’s going on? What happened?” Seeing Colonel Lu’s expression, Elder Wu furrowed his brows.
“Reporting, sir, in Zones C, D, G, conflicts have broken out again in several air-raid shelters, and the situation seems severe. It appears that quite a number of people have died…”
“Nonsense!” Elder Wu slapped the table in anger. “At a time like this, they’re still causing trouble? Causing trouble, causing trouble, causing trouble! They’re causing trouble until everyone is dead. Who will defend the security of the base?!”
Colonel Lu stood at the door with his head bowed.
After walking around the room for a few circles, Elder Wu stopped his steps. “How’s the situation outside?”
“There are still some migratory birds moving north over the base, but according to this morning’s satellite photos, it seems to be nearing its end. There are still quite a number of active birds in the base, including some mutated birds that have been living in the North China region in previous years, like the mutated swallows. It seems they intend to stay nearby.”
“What about those two mutated hawks?”

“You go, immediately organize a team, support several air-raid shelters, bring enough security personnel and weapons. Also, bring rescue personnel. Find out who’s causing trouble! Capture those who are causing trouble!” With so many previous incidents in the base and the looming threat of mutated creatures outside, there was no time and energy to care about the mental health of the people inside the base. Now, gathering those individuals who were on the verge of collapse together revealed the dire consequences instantly.
In Zone A’s air-raid shelter, manpower was immediately mobilized, armed forces and medical personnel were organized, and through underground passages, they prepared to go out and support the air-raid shelters in those areas closest to them.
Watching the chaos on the other side of the air-raid shelter, Wu Jie leaned against the wall, observing the drama with a cold gaze. These people had been making trouble since last night, and over a dozen people had fallen, yet the chaos continued to escalate.
The low and cramped air-raid shelter, coupled with the heavy smell of blood, heightened the fear and tension of the already suppressed individuals in the confined space.
Several girls in the squad were on the verge of vomiting due to the intense smell of blood. Although most people in the base had experienced the bloody events during the initial days of the apocalypse, witnessing human bodies explode, the individuals who couldn’t bear it were those who had kept their heads down, covered their eyes, and dared not listen, look, or face the cruelty of the post-apocalyptic world.
The women of the Widow’s Legion gathered together. Most of them were ordinary people, with a few mutated individuals with abilities among them. To the calm ones, this dispute was as ridiculous as a joke. Everyone had taken refuge inside; why would they turn against each other? They could clear the remaining birds in the base tomorrow morning; there was no need to create chaos now.
“Ah!” A girl from the squad suddenly jumped up, pointing at a scruffy-looking man nearby and scolding, “Where do you think you’re touching?!”
The man, with a greedy expression on his pitch-black face, eyes emitting green light, stared intently at the girl’s chest.
Most of the women in the squad had suffered from men, abandoned by lovers and family, which was why they had gathered together. Particularly, they couldn’t tolerate such behavior. The girl’s companions quickly stood up, and a group of women glared with eyes sharp as knives, hands on hips, and mouths as sharp as blades, giving the man who tried to take advantage of the situation a verbal lashing.
These women, a rare commodity in the post-apocalyptic era, had managed to survive until now due to their unity and cautious actions.
Wu Jie furrowed her brow and stood up. Many people nearby were eyeing them with ill intentions. If not handled properly, a conflict similar to the one happening on the other side might break out here. It might not end well.
“What’s wrong with touching a bit? It’s just a piece of meat.” The man glanced at the few people grappling in the distance. The only security force in the air-raid shelter was down quite a bit now, and the remaining ones were tangled in a fight. It seemed like an opportunity to take advantage. Moreover, there were quite a few people nearby who seemed to have similar thoughts.
Normally, outside, due to the presence of security personnel, these women were very careful in their actions, and no one could take advantage of them. However, now… it might be an opportunity. Knocking someone out in the chaos and taking them back for a few days of satisfaction should be no problem.
A woman suddenly stomped forcefully on the ground, creating a pit in the previously solid surface. Wu Jie walked over. “Sure, touching won’t cost you much. Taking a punch won’t either, right? Since you touched our squad member, let our member give you a punch. As long as you endure it, we’ll consider it settled.”
Watching the robust woman create a pit with her foot, twisting her hands and observing the now somewhat retreating crowd, they didn’t anticipate that among these women, there were also those with abilities. These were not people they could easily provoke.
As both sides faced off, suddenly, footsteps were heard from the direction of the air-raid shelter’s entrance!
A group of soldiers, dressed in military uniforms, wielding special transparent bulletproof shields and heavy firepower weapons, swiftly took control of the situation inside the air-raid shelter. Those who were previously heatedly arguing and on the verge of physical conflict instantly cooled down— the base was still intact, the national machinery was still functioning, and they were still citizens of this country. While under the protection of the military, they also had civic duties to fulfill.
“Stop! No more mutual attacks! Anyone who attacks again will be shot on the spot!” The deafening voice made the entire air-raid shelter, unaffected by the ongoing brawl, but fearing they might get involved, breathe a collective sigh of relief.
Without questioning who started the conflict, the military quickly moved the severely injured and the dead to the side. For those still conscious, they provided medical treatment…
In another air-raid shelter in Zone D, a similar dispute erupted last night. Just as everyone was getting ready to engage in a full-blown fight, a few people sleeping in the corner were awakened.
Rubbing their eyes, before they could see what was happening, a burly man was sent flying towards them.
Panicking and dodging the massive “weapon,” they were astonished to find that the entire air-raid shelter seemed to be filled with people either attacking those around them or taking advantage of the situation to grab things.
One person in the midst of it all suddenly took a deep breath, and then, a woman’s sharp scream pierced the air. The scream was sharp and had a powerful penetrative quality, mixed with some melodious singing techniques.
Surprisingly, due to the tight construction schedule and fast-paced building of the peripheral air-raid shelters, each shelter wasn’t too high, and its volume wasn’t too large. As a result, there was an unexpected acoustic effect, causing every living thing in the air-raid shelter to be affected.
“Thud, thud, thud…” Heads spun, and people fell to the ground.
Soon after, people realized in terror that everyone in the entire air-raid shelter, except for a slender figure, had been knocked down.
When everyone was down, the woman, still full of energy, shouted, “Can’t you let people sleep?! If you want to fight, take it outside!”
After yelling, silence fell over the air-raid shelter. The woman kicked away the burly man who had fallen near where she was sleeping – poor guy. He hadn’t even managed to get up before being hit by the close-range scream. At this moment, he completely fainted again.
Sitting down, the woman kicked away the burly man who had fallen near where she was sleeping. Unluckily for him, just as he was about to get up, he was struck again by the close-range scream and promptly passed out.
After sitting down, a person next to her, also fallen, weakly protested, “I say, dear… next time before you shout, can you give us a little warning…” Indiscriminate attacks… As a teammate, it was stressful to be hit every time along with the enemy.
“Why so much nonsense? Sleep!” Liu Shishi glared at him irritably, huddling in the corner, burying her head in her legs, and resumed sleeping.
Luo Wen’an, who had Su Daji’s arm around his neck and someone’s leg on his belly, rolled his eyes speechlessly: “I can’t even get up…”
“Here… something is missing here, here, and there,” Tianyou pointed in several directions, then lowered his head to pick up a pine nut and popped it into his mouth. Naturally, these were seeds they had collected earlier when they were in the north. Tiancheng grew a pine tree, and everyone gathered quite a few pine nuts. Recently, Mother Xu stir-fried them all for everyone as a snack.
“Where is Dad now?”
Xu Song, looking bored, played with the pine nuts and absentmindedly tossed one into his mouth.
“Tastes good,” Mother Xu patted his head and swept the remaining husks and shells aside.
“He’s over there. Dad and the others just took down several big birds!” Tianyou pointed in a certain direction.
Xu Song sighed again. Since they got together, the two of them had almost never been separated. Even on base missions, they always went together. However, due to a certain someone’s activities in bed this morning, he couldn’t participate in this sudden mission! It’s embarrassing!
Seeing his son like this, Mother Xu found it amusing and irritating. She poked his forehead, “What’s the big deal? It’s just one day without seeing each other. Why are you so fixated? Tianyou said it’s not dangerous outside, right?”
“It’s not that, I just…” There were things he couldn’t tell his own mother, especially about being unable to get up and down the bed because of someone! It’s just too embarrassing!
Mother Xu glared at him again, then turned to look at the twins playing with pine nuts on the side. She whispered, “Isn’t it just that little thing? When your dad and I got married, we didn’t buy breakfast for two years, and that was when we lived with your grandparents.”
Xu Song was petrified again. He could no longer comprehend his mother’s words. While it’s true, it’s just a trivial matter, the problem is… he is a man of integrity! Mom, really, spreading such things to her own son, is it really okay?
Without daring to lift his head to react, Xu Song didn’t notice that after Mother Xu finished speaking, her face also turned red. After all, traditional parents wouldn’t discuss such matters with their own children, especially when they gave birth to a son. If only it were a daughter, so considerate, talking about these things wouldn’t be so difficult.
Outside the main gate, in the A-zone air-raid shelter, a few people stood at the door of a room, looking puzzled at the distant RV, the container truck next to it, and three mutated animals.
“Whose car is that?”
“I heard it’s from the Abilities Team.”
“Abilities Team?” Looking at the car and then at the three mutated animals, “They’re so powerful?”
“Do you want to bring it over to play? Driving this car with a girl, how cool!”
“Forget it, that’s a B-level team’s car, didn’t you see the mark on it?”
“So what if it’s B-level? Aren’t they just a small team from the base? If you want to bring it over, it’s not impossible.”
“Then you go do it, and let us know when you’re going out to play.”
A few people murmured for a while, but looking at the three sturdy mutant pets beside the car, and seeing that the military are here, they just talked without any intention of taking action.
Haha, aside from those three large pets, the jade bees and even the hedgehog are quite lethal against them…LOL, dreaming much..😁
Can’t wait for the old friends to meet! Thanks for the update 🤣❤️
