Chapter 410

“The base leader isn’t sure either.
Conditions are backward now, and the equipment isn’t sophisticated enough.
Plus, the weather changes drastically after the apocalypse, with no law to follow, so the researchers haven’t made any progress.”

Lin Qianhuan sighed faintly, “So, no one knows how long this extreme cold will last?”

Seeing her a bit discouraged, Lin Yixuan chuckled, “That’s not entirely true.”

Hearing this, Lin Qianhuan’s interest was instantly piqued, and she sat up straight.

“Big brother, stop being so mysterious, what news do you have?
Tell me quickly, I’m about to die of boredom.”

Seeing that Lin Qianhuan was indeed anxious, Lin Yixuan quickly reassured her and told her everything he knew.

“The instruments aren’t very sophisticated after the apocalypse, but luckily there are many talented people, and some have awakened extremely rare abilities.
For example, Dr. Qiu Yue from the research institute, her ability is called Precognition.”

Lin Qianhuan’s eyes widened in shock, and the aircraft shook slightly with her mood.

“Precognition? My god, there’s such an ability?
That’s too OP, isn’t it? Doesn’t that mean she can know the future in advance?”

Lin Yixuan smiled and shook his head, “It’s not that powerful.
She can only foresee things that will happen within three months, and using the ability once takes at least a month to recover.”

“So, did she foresee when the extreme cold will end?”

Lin Yixuan sighed helplessly, “She did. The extreme cold will still be present within three months and hasn’t dissipated.
But there’s good news, the blizzard will stop in about two months.
However, the temperature will still be very low, with no changes.”

Lin Qianhuan was silent for a moment, tapping her finger on the table, “That’s already pretty good. As long as the blizzard stops, snow removal work will become easier.
Residents can take this opportunity to clear the snow inside and outside the base, and then slowly expand outwards, which is much better than during the blizzard.”

Lin Yixuan nodded, “That’s true, but besides this good news, there’s also bad news.”

“Also from Dr. Qiu Yue’s precognition?”

“Yes. At the end of this month, in half a month, a crashed plane will fall into the open space at the northern end of Kyoto Base.”

Lin Qianhuan was instantly intrigued upon hearing this, “A plane? A crashed plane?
Kyoto Base and Beiling Base don’t have the energy to develop new types of aircraft right now, let alone the various small bases in China.
Where did this crashed plane come from?”

Even the Wolf Fang helicopter she was currently piloting was just bought from the system.

Resources are scarce and the climate is harsh after the apocalypse. How many bases on this blue planet have the energy and materials to develop aircraft?

Lin Yixuan shook his head, “I don’t know. Dr. Qiu Yue’s precognitive abilities are indeed limited. We can only prepare and wait for the plane to land.”

Lin Qianhuan was silent for a moment, “If there are any developments, you must notify me as soon as possible.
If possible, I will definitely rush back as soon as possible.”

“Okay, be careful.”

The call ended, and Lin Qianhuan sat in the driver’s seat, looking out the window with some fatigue.

“Things are getting more and more confusing.
Natural disasters are nothing short of a catastrophe for humanity, but humans have to deal with not only natural disasters but also hungry zombies and mutated animals.
Hopefully, the crashed plane can bring new news or clues, otherwise, we still have a long way to go.”

Jiang Xing focused on the situation outside the window and gently patted Lin Qianhuan’s shoulder.

“Don’t worry, as long as you’re here, no matter how big the disaster, humanity can survive.
Besides, don’t underestimate the survivors of China.
To have survived from the early days of the apocalypse until now, who hasn’t crawled out of a pile of dead people?
They have courage, integrity, and ability.
So don’t worry too much about the future, just focus on the present.”

Lin Qianhuan nodded wearily, “I’m putting too much pressure on myself. I really should take this opportunity to adjust my mentality.”

Jiang Xing withdrew his hand and quietly watched the situation below the helicopter, suddenly noticing something strange.

“Look, isn’t there a base there?”

Lin Qianhuan quickly followed his direction and looked down, and indeed saw a small base that wasn’t very large.

Not only that, there was another base not far from this one.

Looking further away, there were even more.

Countless small bases were located in the wind and snow, like chess pieces on a chessboard, scattered but orderly.

“I didn’t expect there to be so many small bases here.
But the area isn’t very large, so the number of residents probably won’t be very high either.”

Jiang Xing pursed his lips, “I think these bases are a bit strange.
We’ve seen many small private bases along the way.
And these kinds of bases all have one thing in common, that is, they absorb all the surrounding survivors, and everyone huddles together for warmth.
Take a closer look at these small bases here.
The distance between them isn’t very far, and they could clearly merge into a slightly larger safe zone, but they didn’t.
What do you think is the reason?”

Lin Qianhuan scratched her head, “Because they can live safely without joining together?”

Jiang Xing pondered for a moment, “That is indeed possible, but in the apocalypse, survivors are more inclined to live together.
The more people, the higher the safety factor.
But these bases are indeed going against the grain, which is a bit confusing.”

Lin Qianhuan roughly confirmed the current location of the helicopter, which was in the central part of China, slightly west, and still some distance from the real west.

“It is indeed a bit strange, but according to the map, these bases have all been investigated by the Kyoto Base’s team, and there’s nothing unusual.
Shall we go down and investigate, or continue west?”

Jiang Xing was a little hesitant. Time was precious, and if they spent too much time here, the efficiency might be greatly reduced.

After all, the Kyoto Base’s team had already investigated once. If they investigated again, it would be a waste of time, and probably wouldn’t yield any results.

Lin Qianhuan peeled an orange for herself, “We can investigate on the way back. Right now, it’s more important to go to the west to investigate the situation of the Salvation Society.”

“Okay.”

After deciding, the Wolf Fang helicopter cut through the wind and snow and continued forward.

In the base below, a man slightly raised his head, as if sensing something.

“Hmm… It seems like something passed by.
Was I seeing things?”

He shook his head and turned to go back inside to warm up.

The helicopter produced by the system was extremely fast, and in just half a day, they arrived at the western border of China.

Controlling the plane to circle in the air, Lin Qianhuan and Jiang Xing carefully observed the situation below through the windows.

“It’s all white, there’s nothing there.”

Lin Qianhuan frowned slightly. She couldn’t even see a slightly larger black spot. Everything within sight was covered in snow, so white that it was blinding.
