Chapter 188

They had been gone for a month, and returning to Silver Bay Gardens now felt somewhat unfamiliar.

Lin Qianhuan got out of the car and looked at the reinforced walls that resembled a fortress, feeling a sense of surprise.

“Has this place developed so quickly in just a month? I almost don’t recognize it.”

The group got out of the off-road vehicle and headed towards the main entrance to join the queue.

There were dozens of survivors ahead, dressed in ragged clothes, but their eyes were full of excitement and longing.

The person in front of Lin Qianhuan in the queue was a warm-hearted middle-aged man. He turned to look at Lin Qianhuan and said with some surprise, “Oh, little girl, are you here to join the Silver Bay Base too?”

Without waiting for Lin Qianhuan to respond, he continued, “I see you’re dressed neatly and cleanly, you must be an Superpower user, right? You’ve come to the right place. In my opinion, besides being a bit small, the Silver Bay Base isn’t much different from the official bases. The key is, we heard that they have cornbread and porridge every day here. That way, even if we can’t eat our fill, we won’t starve to death. It’s great.”

A sincere smile appeared on his face, his eyes full of joy and excitement.

Seeing that he had finally finished speaking, Lin Qianhuan said, “Brother, you’re not from Yuncheng, are you?”

The man laughed heartily, “No, but look at all these people queuing up in front, almost none of them are from Yuncheng. Everyone heard about the good treatment at the Silver Bay Base and came here specifically to join. What about you?”

Lin Qianhuan smiled, “I used to live here, but I went out to take care of some things and just came back.”

The man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, “I see. But little girl, if you were a resident here before, you shouldn’t be queuing with us. Silver Bay Gardens now has three gates: West, South, and North. This gate is specifically for new survivors who want to join. If you’re a resident, you should go to the West Gate to register and enter.”

Lin Qianhuan was a little surprised, “Brother, aren’t you a newcomer here to join? How do you know so much?”

The man chuckled, “Hey, there are signs posted at the front. You just didn’t go to the front to look and came straight to queue, so you didn’t see it.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded, then thanked him, “Okay, thank you for the reminder, then I’ll go ahead.”

After speaking, she led Lin Yixuan and the others along the wall towards the West Gate.

Arriving at the West Gate, there were also quite a few people queuing here.

Most of them were residents who had just returned from completing missions, their faces full of satisfied smiles, greeting each other, and the atmosphere was very good.

Lin Qianhuan obediently went to the end of the line. Yuncheng is not like Xiangze City, which is by the sea. Although it was the end of May, the temperature had already soared to over thirty degrees.

It was two o’clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of day, and the sun was so strong that it was hard to open one’s eyes.

He Lu leaned on Lin Qianhuan’s back, whining and complaining about the heat.

But in front of everyone, Lin Qianhuan didn’t dare to take out an ice cream for her to eat, so she could only hand her a bottle of chilled mineral water.

“Drink some water, we’ll turn on the air conditioning when we get home.”

Pulling out a tissue to wipe the sweat from her forehead, Lin Qianhuan’s face was full of smiles.

She was finally home. After being busy for a month, she wondered what the villa was like now.

Although she had put all the furniture in the house into the Space before leaving, she still had to do a thorough cleaning.

Although it was another arduous task, now that she was home, she didn’t feel tired anymore.

After waiting for a full half an hour, the line had only moved forward less than three meters, and had been stuck in place.

Lin Qianhuan frowned and peeked to see what was going on. She saw a man standing at the front of the line, chatting and exchanging pleasantries with the registrar at the gate.

The residents queuing up frowned and complained to each other, but no one dared to step forward to urge them.

Sweating profusely in the sun, Lin Qianhuan lost her patience and grabbed someone in the line to ask.

“Hello, excuse me, who are those two people chatting in front?”

The person who was stopped and asked was a woman who looked to be in her twenties. She had a braid and was wearing a white T-shirt and black pants, looking very clean and refreshing.

“You don’t recognize them?”

Lin Qianhuan nodded, “I went out for a while recently and just came back, so I’m not very familiar.”

Hearing this, the woman didn’t ask any further questions and replied, her tone carrying a bit of resentment.

“The man standing is called Lei Yong, he’s a lightning-type Superpower user, and one of the top combatants in the Silver Bay Base. The registrar sitting there is one of Lei Yong’s girlfriends. Tsk, the two of them are all lovey-dovey in public, don’t they feel ashamed?”

She disgustedly flicked the braid behind her, and suddenly remembered something, gently grabbing Lin Qianhuan’s wrist.

“You just came back, so you don’t know about Lei Yong’s influence in our base. I advise you to bear with it and don’t provoke him. Although this guy has a bad temper, his strength is beyond doubt. He’s the one who solved several zombie hordes and mutated zombies before, and he’s a great contributor to the Silver Bay Base. Even the base leader has to show him some respect.”

Lin Qianhuan blinked, “Are you talking about Lu Shouzheng?”

The woman looked around, and anxiously raised her hand to cover Lin Qianhuan’s mouth.

“How dare you call the base leader by his full name? Little girl, pay attention to what you say. Don’t get yourself into trouble because you’re too quick-tongued.”

Lin Qianhuan smiled with crescent-shaped eyes, “Thank you, sister, for reminding me so much, what’s your name?”
