Since that day, Lin Kui’s squad was attacked by all sorts of mutated creatures . Meanwhile, each base had finally brought the chaotic situation under control three days later .

In Sea City Base, Wu Chengyue and the others were having a meeting in the conference room . Xiao Yunlong and Meng Yue had brought Kong Qingming back to Sea City Base . They told the others about what happened in All Beings Base, then learned about the damages that their own base had suffered .
They felt like lucky survivors from a disaster, especially when this disaster happened too suddenly .
“Was the crazy rat group a sign of this?” Kong Qingming, who had woken up by now, sat in the Deputy Chief’s seat as he said with a frown .
“Based on the research result provided by All Beings Base, that gas delivers lethal effects to all living creatures . But, why were only half of the people affected?” Wu Chengyue asked while reading the copies of the materials in his hands .
Clearly, that question was for Moli, who had been studying in that sphere .
During the past few days, they had noticed the situation outside, apart from what happened in the base . Currently, all trees in the base had been chopped off . A part of the healthy trees in the base had died while the other had mutated . Mutated plants couldn’t be left in the base .
The outside world was now like a virgin forest . The streets and roads had been devoured by parks or green belts .
A lot of mutated animals had gone crazy like those maniacal superpowered people .

Each day, some more superpowered people lost their minds and suddenly started attacking the others . That situation never stopped .
Later on, Xiao Yunlong brought back the research results from All Beings Base . Based on that, they gathered all the superpowered people and gave them blood tests . According to the results, they isolated the ones who might go crazy, in case they hurt the others .
All the isolated ones were under twenty-four hours watch . They would be sedated immediately by the automatic devices in their rooms once they showed a sign of losing control .
In fact, All Being Base shouldn’t have shared the research result with Sea City Base . However, Lin Qiao, Lin Feng, and the others ran a discussion, then decided to share it with them for free, in order to convince Sea City Base to agree to give All Being Base a bigger hunting field .
“I’ll find out the cause as soon as I can,” Moli said blandly without any expression . In spite of what she said, finding out the truth was not as easy as it sounded like .
Based on the current research, the gas turned into the material that All Beings Base found after entering the bodies of living creatures . That was why only half of the people were affected . That material wasn’t detected from the blood of the other half of the people . It might not exist in their bodies, or might have been hiding in their blood .
“I’ll send more people to help you,” Wu Chengyue nodded and said, and Moli nodded expressionlessly in response .
“About the hunting field, are we going to do what they said?” Xiao Yunlong asked .

Wu Chengyue was wearing a faint smile all the time . However, no actual smile could be seen in his eyes .
“Zou, is the situation bad in the agriculture department?” he asked .
Zou Shihui’s face was as black as thunder in the past few days . The word ‘serious’ was not enough to describe the situation in the agriculture department . All the crops had died . Currently, the farm was a dead, barren land .
The entire farm had died, so they needed to grow new seedlings and to start over . In the coming few months, they would need to eat the stored food in the granaries .
That wasn’t important . The important thing was…
“The soil has died . It can’t grow crops anymore,” Zou Shihui closed his eyes, looking tired and irritated .
Wu Chengyue’s expression faded as well . He sighed and said, “So, we can’t save that land?”
“About that… I think we should compromise with All Beings Base . At least Miss . Lu’s farm isn’t affected, is it?” Kong Qingming said .

After returning his base and seeing the dead farm, Kong Qingming tried very hard to come up with a solution . Later on, he received a message, saying that the soil in the farm of All Beings Base wasn’t affected . Only the plants there were affected .
So, in order to save the farm in Sea City Base, they needed to figure out why All Beings Base’s farm was spared from the disaster .
The entire Sea City Base would need All Beings Base, for a while at least .
So currently, Wu Chengyue had no spare attention for the hunting field . The zombie lady could have as much of the land as possible . His top priority now was to solve the problems in his base .
Hearing Kong Qingming’s words, the others fell into silence . At last, they all gave a sigh .
In All Beings Base, Lin Qiao and the others were speechlessly looking at the dead plants in the farm .
Liu Jun squatted on the ground, holding a handful of soil . “Thankfully,” she said, “we can still save the soil . ”
A large group of level two and three zombies were scattered in the field on both sides of the road, each carrying a bucket of water . They sprayed the water on the soil inch by inch .
The water was a mixture of the lake water from Lin Qiao’s space and regular water . Lin Qiao had been watering the soil with her lake water since she first started developing the farm .
After the second explosion of the virus, the crops on the farm died . However, the soil didn’t change; it was still alive . Except for the farm, the soil in all the other areas had died . The dead soil was full of the virus, and could only grow mutated plants .
“I still have a batch of crops in my space . The seeds will sprout soon too . It’s alright . We’ll soon grow some new crops,” Lin Qiao comforted her .
Liu Jun had been taking care of the farm since the very beginning . She must be feeling sad and frustrated, as the crops that she grew with care had all died .
Liu Jun was upset indeed, feeling awful . But, what comforted her a little was that the soil was still fine . Hearing Lin Qiao’s words, she let out a long breath, then stood up .
Lin Qiao stood by her side, resting her chin on her palm . At first, she thought the lake water from her space was losing its effect on the virus . It turned out that that didn’t happen .
She ordered her zombies to remove the dead crops, then water the soil with the mixture of the lake water and regular water . After that, she brought out the seedlings that Lu Tianyi grew in her space .
In the recent couple of days, Lin Qiao didn’t let other humans come to work in the farm, except for some soldiers from her base . Those people were still in an unstable mindset, and weren’t suitable for work yet .
