Chapter 31 : C31
Chi Ying shook her head, “There are other daily necessities, medicines and so on… There are also a few empty shelves, but I feel that there will be other things on them in the future.”
The rest of the empty shelves were products that she didn’t have enough points to unlock.
Gu Chi nodded, “It’s a very good ability. If you can find a relatively safe place, this ability is enough for you to survive for a lifetime.”
Chi Ying hesitated to speak, but still didn’t make a request to join them.
“Okay, since we’re sure everything is fine, let’s go to bed first. We can arrive at the headquarters tomorrow night at the latest, so let’s rest.”
There was a little smile on his lips, and it was the first time in a few days that he looked in a good mood.
“We understand, Captain,” Lu Yunfei also had eyes full of smiles. He looked at Chi Ying and smiled brightly, “Didn’t I say you are lucky? If I can have a mascot like you as a teammate, I won’t be afraid of accidents in my life!”
Song Shi was not in the mood to talk at first, but everyone’s attention was on Chi Ying, and she was inexplicably upset. She brushed her hair with her fingers and said, “Yes, it’s also the first time I’ve seen such a lucky person.”
Mu Yu nodded in approval.
Originally, they were not superstitious. But since then, they had begun to consider whether to find a Feng Shui master to get some luck.
Everyone slept well that night. Especially when they had to go back to the headquarters the next day.
Since the apocalypse, their awakening ability was included in the Human Alliance, the headquarters was equivalent to home. Because they spent most of their time doing tasks outside and hadn’t been back to the headquarters for nearly half a year, it was hard to avoid being a little excited when they thought about it.

They arrived at the headquarters earlier than expected.
Almost in the afternoon, Chi Ying could already vaguely see the distant horizon and the tall alliance building logo.
As the car approached, she realized how amazing the building she had just glanced at was.
It looked like a small city wall structure, but it was far more subtle. On the outside was a 100-meter-high iron wall, and on the top was the logo of the alliance, which couldn’t be freely entered by manpower.
The most important point was that if one wanted to look in from that wall from the outside, they couldn’t see anything at all.
It should be that the buildings inside were deliberately designed to be lower than the wall.
She glanced left and right, and there was almost no end to the iron wall in sight.
[As expected of the alliance headquarters known as the sanctuary of mankind, it is indeed more spectacular than in the novel.]
Chi Ying also exclaimed, “It’s really big.” She thought it would be a slightly larger tall building…
The system shook its head: [There are more than this here. You will know when you go in and have a look later.]
Gu Chi got out of the car and approached the identification system on the wall. The system recognized him, and the door opened immediately.
The off-road vehicle drove in slowly, and Chi Ying finally caught a glimpse of the true face of the legendary headquarters of the Human Alliance.
Unexpectedly, the inside did not look like a site with various cutting-edge technologies. The only thing that looked more formal was the hemispherical building in the center in the distance.
What they passed along the way were all kinds of open fields and large sheds. Rather than entering the headquarters, it was more like a vegetable garden in a farmhouse…
She couldn’t help asking Gu Chi who was sitting beside her, “Why are there so many fields?”
Gu Chi explained, “There is too much uncertainty in the transportation of food supplies from outside. The outer area where the supply of goods is very stable today may be completely overrun by zombies tomorrow. Therefore, it is very necessary for the headquarters to set up a self-sufficient food source.”
Chi Ying nodded with a half understanding.
“However, most of these plants are not intended to be eaten.”
“What are they for then?”
“Seeds, to grow seeds. Although these seeds have no chance to be planted, we believe that we will take back our land one day. At that time, we will depend on these seeds for survival.”
“I mentioned A-level and B-level safe zones to you before, remember?”
Chi Ying nodded, “Well, I remember.”
“Strictly speaking, the headquarters is actually the largest and most core A-level safe zone. The rest of the A-level zones are distributed around the headquarters, and we regularly send them the high-quality seeds we have cultivated.”
“Then why didn’t the safe zone we saw before had these?”
“That’s a C-level zone.” Gu Chi frowned regretfully, “C-level security zones are scattered all over the world, and the alliance doesn’t have the ability to guarantee everyone’s safety yet.”
As he spoke, Chi Ying’s attention was attracted by other things outside the car window.
“There are trucks!”
Gu Chi followed her gaze and saw huge trucks wrapped in iron.
“These are the supply team’s trucks. They’re filled with supplies, and they’re responsible for distributing supplies to low-level security areas. Each of these trucks are equipped with at least one ability holder.”
Lu Yunfei, who was driving in front, also turned his head and introduced to her, “Almost all A-level safe zones have supply teams. A-level zones have production capacity, and the supplies produced would be sent to lower-level safety zones by supply vehicles. “
“Before in Zone C, their supplies came from the supply team in Zone A.”
Chi Ying was a little surprised and said, “Will the headquarters be in charge of such things? I thought you only studied the most core things.”
