Chapter 222: 222. Returning to the Base

The six of them entered the truck and car and then started to go once more. Mark was paving the way for the truck to pass.

"Are we going to use the same road as yesterday?" Dylan was calling Mark to know the situation.

"No." Mark looked at his phone. "There’s a different route prepared for our return. There shouldn’t be any problem to go there later. All you need is to follow it. I sent the route to your phone."

"Ok." Dylan’s eyes narrowed. "Are there people following us?"

"No, just in case."

"Ok."

Anna pursed her lips and looked outside. It was still quite dark because it was dawn and Anna tightened her arm, feeling that the temperature was indeed colder. She looked into the distance and thought about the countless changes lately, feeling a bit worried.

"Shall we go out again tomorrow?" Anna asked.

Dylan arched his eyebrows. "Do you want to try searching for something?"

"Winter clothing," Anna replied. "if it’s really getting colder as you said, then clothes will become even more important."

Dylan nodded. To be honest, they could also buy it because the base had already acquired a lot of clothes. The supermarket had expanded and there are a lot of clothes sold there. But from his guesses, Anna might not pay attention to those when her mind was focused on food.

It was not a big problem to search outside if they wanted to, though.

"There are some clothes in the supermarket in the base. But it might not be enough for everyone," Dylan said.

"How come there are so many clothes?"

"When people first come, clothes can also be traded for contribution points," Dylan replied. "If they really need contribution points so much, they can exchange their clothes for these."

Anna: "..." I see.

Clothes were light and easy to bring, so if their clothes were still in good condition, they could use it to trade for contribution points. Back then, there are a lot of people who didn’t hesitate to trade everything they could find for food.

After all, food is very important and many people will be hungry without food. Who would care about clothing at that time?

Except for the few clothing used for themselves, the rest were traded away.

Living for another day was more important.

The base has been operating for some time and so far, they didn’t seem to lack food at all. At the very least, the base could still sustain the operation of the canteen and also the supermarket.

But if the temperature turned colder, then these clothing would be popular.

"It’s fine to search outside too," Anna muttered.

During this period of time, the temperature might be a bit ’normal.’ And as someone who hadn’t gone out of her apartment in a long time, Anna also wanted to see the outside world a bit.

Dylan could hear Anna’s words and chuckled. "In that case, we’ll try our luck outside."

"Yes." Anna nodded with a smile.

The two of them decided happily to go search for supplies tomorrow. In any case, they had already seen that strange fishes and no longer had any other obsession towards the lake. If there were indeed some changes, the researchers would tell them later.

They couldn’t do it by themselves anyway.

Time passed quietly as they entered the city once more. The road was still the same uneven road as before, but Anna keenly noticed that it was a different road from the one they used when they come here.

"Are you farmiliar with the road?"

"Don’t worry, I have been going around the broken city in the past few weeks. I don’t go too far, but we’re going to reach the base soon," Dylan replied and then added, "Eat something to pad your stomach."

"Uh huh." Anna eat the bread again.

It was not convenient to stop, so their meal was either bread or jerky.

This kind of journey was really boring.

If they were not driving, it was easy to feel sleepy in the car.

"But this journey is quite boring," Anna remarked. "There’s nothing strange in the lake and I can’t find anything interesting."

"What’s interesting?" Dylan asked back.

"For example..."

BANG!

They heard explosion not far from them followed by Mark’s voice. "Speed up! The other trucks are being attacked."

"Yes!"

Dylan stepped on the pedal.

Anna, who had only wanted excitement: "..." crow mouth!

She wanted something exciting, but she didn’t want it to be something that could threaten her life again! That bomb incident had only passed by one day and there’s already a new group of people who wanted her life?

Anna felt that the wish of living peacefully during this period of time would be highly impossible.

A lot of people wished to be able to live peacefully but it would never be possible for the time being.

Bang!

The explosion came closer and Mark yelled to the phone, "Dylan, you go back to the base with Anna first. We’ll go to other ways."

"What if the route is exposed?"

"Then you use other ways! You’re familiar with the road, right?"

Familiar?

Dylan looked at the road in front of him and then replied, "Got it."

"Good."

The off road car in front of them went to the intersection while their truck kept on moving forward.

"Sister Anna, hold on tight."

"Yes?"

Boom!

The sound of explosion came from the back and followed by that, Dylan truly stepped on the pedal. The truck that was already going pretty fast was now like a rocket, dashing through the not so good road towards the base in the distance.

Anna held the chair beside her tightly, cursing in her heart.

The truck followed the road and no matter how bad the road it, Dylan didn’t seem to care and just dashed forward. Sounds of explosion and gunshots could still be heard from the distance away.

The base was still a bit far away.

Hopefully, no one would stop their truck.
