Ever since he learned that Tang Guo had been “sent into” the laboratory, Yan Yi couldn’t help but keep an eye on the news, but he never heard about her escape.
As for Shao Qing and others, since breaking into the Sunset Base, there has been no news from them either. Spies around the Sunset Base couldn’t gather any information about them.
Yan Yi felt somewhat helpless and couldn’t sleep well at night, often dreaming of Tang Guo.
Yan Nian soon noticed Yan Yi’s condition and couldn’t help but express concern, “Ah Yi, what’s been bothering you lately?”
“Nothing.” Yan Yi’s eyes were red, clearly lacking rest. “Just worried about the base.”
“Our base is developing quite well. We’re using diluted spiritual spring water for irrigation, and we now have fresh vegetables.” Since the space had already been exposed, Yan Nian planned to use it to at least help the Sunshine Base further.
She knew the ending of the book: in the end, the Sunshine Base would be able to rule a part of the world.
“Boss Yan, we have a problem.”
“Plants and animals have mutated, and there are unidentified powerful creatures. Many ability users have died at the hands of these creatures, and if we’re not careful, we’ll be devoured by them.”
Yan Yi immediately stood up, “What kind of creatures?”
“They seem to be Lickers. They have long tongues, and if you’re not careful, you’ll get caught by their tongues. Ability users touched by their tongues have their skin scraped off.”
“Their hearing is extremely sensitive. Even the slightest noise can attract them. They’re fast, and if you’re slow, you’ll likely end up in their mouth.”
The person speaking was sweating profusely, “Even zombies are no match for these creatures. We also discovered many mutated plant leaves that are just as ferocious as Lickers. Some animals have also started to mutate, becoming so powerful that only ability users can eliminate them.”
“The second evolution.”
Yan Nian remarked, knowing from the book that humans could survive this crisis, so she wasn’t too worried.
Yan Yi didn’t know and didn’t dare to delay. If these mutated plants and animals were not dealt with and were allowed to develop further, the human living space would become smaller and smaller.
Within two days, many bases contacted Yan Yi, stating that everyone needed to work together to deal with the newly emerged Lickers and mutated plants and animals.
For this cooperation, they needed to discuss it together, and they finally decided to hold the meeting at the Sunshine Base. Because Yan Nian was there.
Previously, everyone thought Yan Yi had handed Yan Nian over, but the truth couldn’t be hidden. Yan Nian was a living person and still at the Sunshine Base, and this was soon known.
No one was surprised by this result.
But they were puzzled by the lack of response from the Sunset Base.
They had informed the Sunset Base about this issue, but on the day of the meeting, no one from the Sunset Base showed up.
In fact, they were relieved that the Sunset Base didn’t come, fearing a conflict between the two bases.
In the end, several bases reached an agreement to jointly deal with the mutated creatures from the second evolution.
Yan Yi had no time to think about Tang Guo anymore, as he was busy every day.
On the other hand, life at the Sunset Base was unprecedentedly calm. When the Lickers and mutated plants appeared, they were a bit panicked.
Later… the woman their leader pampered brought back a group of zombies. These zombies were particularly strange.
They moved quickly, were powerful, and had awareness, quickly wiping out the mutated plants and animals.
