Chapter 1379: Chapter 571: The Development of Changhe Base

"What is that ahead..."

On the back of the Golden Eagle, when Lu Ping and others saw a towering tree in the midst of the snowy sky, they couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

Changhe Base didn’t share everything when they communicated with them. For example, they never mentioned things like the Crystal Energy Poison Tree or barriers.

"Is that a tree?! It’s so huge! The Mutated Silver Serpent Trees in our base can’t compare at all!"

"Not only is there a giant tree, there are also several continuous tall city walls!"

"This is a city! Such a big city!"

"Could it be... is this Changhe Base?"

"Eh? Look! So many survivors are active outside... Holy shit! It doesn’t seem to be snowing inside?!"

"Ah? What’s going on? Am I seeing things?"

...

Watching the group excitedly discussing, Wang Tao explained with a smile:

"We have arrived at our destination—Changhe Base, hold on tight, everyone."

"Yes!"

Everyone immediately snapped back to reality and tightly grabbed onto the Golden Eagle’s feathers.

This really is Changhe Base!

Although they knew that Changhe Base was very strong and large in scale, hearing about it and seeing it with their own eyes were two different things.

Not to mention, Changhe Base had not elaborated on their side, leaving it all to their imagination. This led to them being as shocked as country bumpkins entering a city upon seeing Changhe Base for the first time.

After giving instructions, Wang Tao didn’t directly let the Golden Eagle enter but turned to look at the Mutant Wild Geese that had been following him obediently.

"I’m home. You all follow me later, do not run around or cause trouble..."

Quack~

The Mutant Goose Leader immediately indicated its understanding; with their strength, it would be certain death to defy Wang Tao.

"Very good."

Wang Tao nodded and then signaled for the Golden Eagle to lead the Mutant Wild Geese toward the barrier.

The barrier created by the Crystal Energy Poison Tree was pale gold, with honeycomb-like patterns on it, but the color was very light and easily overlooked if one wasn’t paying attention.

Moreover, due to the attraction of the Crystal Energy Poison Trees outside and the influence of the snowy weather, Lu Ping and his party hadn’t noticed it upon their initial approach.

As they got closer to the barrier, they were astonished to discover that the entire Changhe Base seemed to be covered by a transparent dome!

"This is..."

Lu Ping asked subconsciously.

"Barrier, it can protect Changhe Base and block the cold and snowy weather outside."

Wang Tao briefly explained.

"Hiss—"

Everyone took a sharp breath.

No wonder it doesn’t snow in Changhe Base, it’s because of this barrier! This thing is too incredible!

If it weren’t for the barrier, ordinary residents wouldn’t be able to go out in this weather, and if everyone stayed home and didn’t go out, the base couldn’t develop.

But with this barrier, protecting the base is secondary; the important thing is that the factories can operate, residents can go out to work, consume, even grow vegetables... the entire Changhe Base can develop!

For a Survivor Base in the post-apocalypse, sustainable development is very important. Silver Serpent Base survived up to now mainly due to good luck. Because it has Silver Snake Trees, Tree Insects, wild rice and other natural resources.

But even with so many resources, life inside Silver Serpent Base isn’t good. Chaos is one of the reasons, but another reason is the scarcity of resources; many people struggle every day not to starve to death. Silver Serpent Base can barely be considered sustainably developed.

But Changhe Base... it has obviously solved the problem of food and clothing, resources are plentiful, and the living environment here is great!

The kind of warm environment inside the base, without snow, is something even the high-level officials from Silver Serpent Base like Lu Ping, can’t enjoy...

At this moment, the Golden Eagle had already flown to the edge of the barrier.

Wang Tao instructed the Crystal Energy Poison Tree to let the Mutant Wild Geese inside.

"Let’s go."

After the instructions, Wang Tao gestured to the Mutant Wild Geese.

Quack~

The Mutant Goose Leader tentatively touched the barrier with its claws, and the barrier immediately rippled with golden waves, while its claws went through the barrier without any hindrance.

This relieved the Mutant Goose Leader.

Animals generally have stronger perception than humans.

It could sense that this transparent barrier was very hard, and it was impossible for them to go through it with their strength. Trying to force through it would likely result in a dead goose.

If it weren’t for Wang Tao allowing it to enter, it would definitely have taken a detour.

But now that it’s confirmed that they could pass through, then there’s no problem.

The Mutant Goose Leader led its flock through the barrier, officially entering Changhe Base.

After entering the barrier, whether it was the Mutant Wild Geese or people like Lu Ping, there was only one thought in their minds—the world inside the barrier was completely different from the world outside!

Outside the barrier, the temperature was at least tens of degrees below zero, coupled with freezing snow and bone-chilling winds constantly blowing in the face. Ordinary people couldn’t handle it at all.

Even Ability Users and Awakeners would feel the cold.

For ones like Lu Ping and his party, they had been sitting back-to-back on the way and wrapped in their clothes tightly. The temperature wouldn’t freeze them to death for a while, but it was really cold!

Now inside the barrier, the warm feeling, as if the heating was turned on, made them intoxicated and excited. Especially after seeing the bustling streets below and hearing the distant cries of vendors... they almost wanted to cry. Because it seemed as if they had returned to the days before the Apocalypse!
