“Is it done?”

“It’s done.”

“At last!!” Several people cheered at the bizarre and colossal object in front of them. Those closer even hugged each other in celebration.

Xu Song leaned against Yue Zheng, looking at the tangible result of what he had drawn on paper. He couldn’t help but feel a myriad of emotions. “Alright, finally completely modified.”

 

Yue Zheng patted his shoulder with a smile. “Our supplies have been gradually exchanged these days. Let’s go back, load the vehicles, and leave the city within a day or two.”

“Oh!” Everyone shouted in unison, happily climbing into the vehicles, and roaring towards the East District.

 

Before the vehicles even left Zone A, they attracted a continuous crowd of onlookers. Once out of Zone A, the people outside were even more dumbfounded. The spectacular convoy, the emblem of the A-level team, and the recognizable and unrecognizable weapons and instruments on the vehicles made everyone instinctively stop in their tracks.

After the convoy passed, discussions erupted as people tried to gather information.

 

Inside the villa, Mother Xu was multitasking – watching Tiancheng and Tianyou solve arithmetic problems while teaching Liu Shishi to use a sewing machine to make clothes. Upon hearing the roaring sound of the vehicles outside, accompanied by Abu’s desperate cries, she quickly looked out of the window. “Heavens! Is that the modified vehicles you guys worked on?!”

  pbf Aw

Xu Song stuck his head out of the car window, waving to his mother with a grin. “How is it? Pretty good, right!”

 

“With such high vehicles, can they even fit in our garage?” Looking at the connected vehicles behind and the menacing steel plates and spikes on the outside, Mother Xu was at a loss. “Can they fit in the yard?”

  vFOSha

They could indeed fit, but once the vehicles entered, Abu had to reluctantly take his two ostriches into the garage.

Tiancheng and Tianyou cheered as they came out to inspect the vehicles. The entire family eagerly went outside to see.

Two RVs were connected to form the first sequence of the convoy, the middle sequence was two modified off-road medical jeeps, also raised for added height. The third sequence was even more spectacular, with two huge containers combined, both with increased height. In addition, the containers could carry some large items such as Abu’s doghouse and already loaded heavy weapons.

While explaining, Xu Song led his mother into the first RV.

 

The first RV didn’t differ too much from before, but the utilization of space inside became more rational. Many areas were divided using storage partitions, allowing various items to be neatly stored. 

  XuhD9N

A specially made planting bed for Tiancheng was prepared this time, more reasonable and stable than the random pots and pans before. The newly made beehive was securely placed in a corner next to the sofa, no need to worry about it suddenly falling in case of an accident.

 

Beside the sofa, there is a small space with a small wooden box underneath. Inside, soil can be placed, serving as a designated area for Xiao Shu to eat.

In addition, the beds for the twins and Mother Xu have been widened a bit. Children grow up, and more spacious beds are better. The large bed area remains the same size as usual, with several well-placed storage cabinets for commonly used items.

The two RVs are closely connected, but one must exit from the rear door of the first vehicle and enter through the co-driver’s seat of the rear vehicle. The front part of the co-driver’s seat has been transformed into a special door. When the door is closed and separated from the front vehicle, the rear RV can operate independently.

  9GpRuJ

The size of the second RV is similar to the first, but the back has been divided into two parts. Inside, two small rooms with double beds have been created, and above the driver’s cabin is another large bed.

 

Xu Song smiled and said to Luo Wen’an and others, “Now we can only arrange the space like this. If any of you couples have a fight, you can only sleep on the sofa, no extra beds.”

  6kJ85O

“Don’t worry, whoever argues, let them sleep on the roof. We don’t like sleeping on the sofa either.” Luo Wen’an put his hand on Liu Shishi’s shoulder, pointing to the largest bed above, “We want that one!”

 

They are currently the only male-female pair in the squad and naturally enjoy some privileges. Not to mention, Liu Shishi has been eagerly wanting a child!

  xUq36v

The area of the “room” above is relatively large, and even if they have a child, they can still live comfortably. As for what happens later? We’ll see when the time comes.

 

The off-road jeep following the RV has undergone similar modifications in the co-driver’s cabin, allowing entry during travel. The cabin part is connected by two off-road vehicle cabins. It has good sealing and stability. Of course, during certain experiments, the vehicle still needs to be parked.

  HKvYQe

The experimental equipment collected from the city, various cabinets containing reagents, the supercomputer brought from the base, and the characteristic, high-capacity hard drive racks storing the pile of loot are all placed here.

 

“The monitoring devices here can connect to the cameras on all vehicles. Those cameras are installed inside the vehicle body and are not easily damaged. This computer can control the large weapons outside. Our two cars also have control terminals, but the priority is not as high as this one. It’s better not to use them easily unless we encounter danger, as our ammunition is limited.”

  QfiBXt

Wang An and others nodded eagerly. Just the fact that there are several roof hatches for mounting machine guns is enough to excite them for half a day, not to mention the presence of things like rocket launchers on this vehicle!

The last container truck is similar to before, with one of the rooms converted into a small room where Mother Xu can easily do sewing work with electricity and ventilation.

  SOLJuc

“Alright, for now, this is it. Just remember, roughly place the types of items in the designated areas. Let’s get started later and load the supplies from the villa into the vehicles!”

 

After lunch, they began to move things. Xiao Shu, now restored to a height of over a meter, twisted its branches like an octopus on the ground, running around to help.

  96H87r

Luo Wen’an and Su Daji looked at each other. “Isn’t that thing a bit familiar?”

 

Liu Shishi patted her man on the back of the head. “Isn’t it Xiao Shu that Tiancheng and Tianyou play with every day?” 

  UvjcYK

These days they had learned that Tiancheng and Tianyou also had abilities, and Tiancheng possessed the ability to plant. However, they initially thought that Xiao Shu was just a “pet” planted by Tiancheng to play with the children. But now, seeing it like this… whose tree can run around?

 

Not to mention – “That tree looks really familiar!”

  dRFtB2

“Yes, just like the tree that ‘spat’ bullets before we went to City S last time…” At that time, the tree spun too fast, and they thought their eyes were playing tricks on them.

 

After speaking, the two looked at each other again, and a hint of realization flashed in their eyes. Could it be that the tree had been following Yue Zheng and the others since then? It makes sense, considering the tree can also shrink, right?

As everyone started working, moving their belongings, the few who were too excited and busy with the vehicles these days hadn’t paid attention to the activities inside the base. It wasn’t until the smell of burning reached them that they were surprised and looked around, asking, “What’s burning?”

 

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

They first rushed to the kitchen to make sure it wasn’t their place catching fire. Only then did Xu Song and the others realize, in amazement, that thick smoke was rising from a distance, almost blackening half of the sky.

  ixTVI5

Thick smoke, tinted with a leaden gray color, filled almost half of the sky. Climbing to the top floor, they used binoculars to look into the distance.

 

“Seems like it’s from the city area?” Su Daji, also a visual ability user, observed for a while and sought Yue Zheng’s opinion.

  EoHQWb

“Not only that,” Yue Zheng’s brow furrowed again, “judging by the range, there’s more than one place emitting smoke… Could someone be intentionally setting fires?”

 

“Arson?!” Xu Song was startled. With such dense smoke, how much of the area had they burned!

  ECTjIu

Quickly checking on his wristwatch, they found the newly established ability users’ channel filled with jubilant celebration.

 

Because humans were troubled by mutant beasts and mutant plants, they could hardly set foot in their former homeland. After the establishment of the Ability Users Association, radical factions suggested: Since humans couldn’t reclaim their territory due to those mutant creatures, then those mutants should not have it easy either! They called for everyone to act together today, igniting several points around the outskirts of the city, simultaneously setting the entire city ablaze!!

  4z3lTi

“The smoke is blowing towards our base!” Xu Song suddenly exclaimed after seeing this information.

 

Yue Zheng’s expression became even more grim.

“Lunatics! A group of lunatics!!” Elder Wu slammed the table. “Quick! Send people out, create isolation zones, and firebreaks!!”

  n0fPA6

After giving the orders, Elder Wu looked at his subordinates with bloodshot eyes. “For such a big matter, why didn’t anyone inform me earlier?! Do you want to wait until the big fire burns us all before saying anything?!”

 

“We… originally thought they couldn’t succeed…”

  Wrmd5J

“How did the forest fire start?! Has there been any rainfall anywhere in the country from spring until now?!” Elder Wu finished speaking, pointing aggressively at the person who just replied, “Who initiated this incident? And who knew but didn’t report it? When it’s discovered, no matter who it is, immediately send them outside the base, to the isolation zone! As long as the fire doesn’t stop for a day, no one is allowed back into the base!”
