Chapter 369. The Two Sides

Chapter 369: 369. The Two Sides

The situation has been tense.

And these big mutated rats were only making things worse.

"Let’s see if we can still salvage it." Mr. Stafford looked at the ruins and his heart was bitter. Many people had died in the countless buildings that fell down at this time and it was estimated that many people would want to leave their base.

Even if they were rich and had many resources, how long can these last?

The reason why they build the base was to make sure they would never lack manpower in the slightest bit.

Yet, things were turning in the direction they didn’t want to see the most.

The base is destroyed.

Not because of outsiders, not because of the natural disasters, but because of the swarm of big mutated rats.

How many bases were destroyed by these big mutated rats?

And how many other things would await them in the future?

"If we can’t do anything... we’ll leave." Mr. Stafford took a deep breath and this was the only decision he could come to.

"Yes!"

The others also felt bitter in their heart.

They were all full of confidence that even in the face of countless natural disasters, they would be able to stand tall and be at the forefront. Their chin had been raised to the chin as if they were proud that they were able to build the base and gathered a lot of resources.

Now, reality gave them a huge face slap.

Even if they had worked so hard, the first big mutated rats alone could deal with them. What if there were worse things in the future?

This cold winter alone had already chilled countless people’s heart.

Because many people died because they were frozen to death and had no chance to survive in the slightest bit.

Now, this big mutated rats swarm happened.

It was frustrating.

...

Jake’s side.

"Jake, there are still some big mutated rats over here," Jill, Jake’s sister, said while pointing in one direction.

Jake looked at Jill with dissatisfaction. "Can’t you do it yourself?"

"Fire is more useful than plants." Jill snorted and waved her hair to the back of her shoulder. She had similar countenance with Jake but her hair was long and even during this period of time, she was still taking care of herself rather well.

After all, the Stafford Family didn’t lack in food and other resources at all. Why can’t they take care of themselves more?

Thus, Jill still looked rather pretty.

But because she was also fighting on the frontline, she was wearing bullet proof jacket and long pants that was suitable for fighting. Her abilities alone were not very strong, but it was good enough.

At least, compared to many other people who had awakened their abilities yet unable to use it more than a few minutes, she could last longer and launched more powerful attack. This was one of the reasons why even if many people didn’t like Stafford Family, their position in Sunshine Base was still firm.

"Just use your gun." Jake snorted.

The two cousins didn’t really have good relationship, but they tolerated each other. Moreover, Jill didn’t like Betty and this was one of their last few conflicts in the past few days.

In Jill’s opinion, Betty was not suitable for Jake in the slightest bit. All that b*tch knew was only to seduce Jake.

But after hearing her father’s words that Betty’s father and brother were still useful, she could only swallow her dissatisfaction. Even if she didn’t treat Betty that coldly, she mostly ignored the other party as much as possible and didn’t even try to build any relationship.

BOOM!

The two heard loud explosion from their back.

And when they turned around, they could see those buildings fell to the ground just like a large scale of domino. Not only the big mutated rats were crushed to death, countless people were also crushed to death.

Being outside on the field, they could hear the sound of scream and wailing that followed the destroyed buildings.

It was terrifying.

"The base is destroyed..." Jake murmured in a low voice.

"You got to be kidding me, right?" Jill was afraid. If they were not in Sunshine Base, there was no way that they would be able to receive such an advantageous position and resources anymore.

No matter where they go, they would only be the ’refuge’ and had to start from the very beginning.

Unless they were absolute geniuses that was worth roped in.

"Let’s hope for the best." Jake was solemn.

These past few months hadn’t been easy for him and having to face his father’s high expectation, he had been training hard. His happiness was when Betty came to accompany him and let him rest when he was tired.

But it was not enough.

Not enough at all.

The two of them stood still for a moment before cleaning up the rest of the big mutated rats along with the other soldiers.

No matter how sad they were with so many people dying, they had to kill these big mutated rats around them. Because if they didn’t, more and more people behind them would die.

...

Anna and Dylan’s side.

"The snow is really melting away so easily." Lucy was looking at the snow that had been melted by Dylan so easily, sighing deeply. "How high is your ability now?"

"I don’t know," Dylan replied. "I don’t even know if there’s any equipment that can test the level of one’s strength and whether it had been classified.

"Well, for level 1 to level 3, there’s already the machines in the research institute. But it’s still in experiment progress," Alicia said.

"Wow? Really?"

"Yeah, I know the leader of this research project and he told me about it." Alicia smiled when she thought about that man.

Lucas nodded and sighed deeply. "It must be nice to be able to go anywhere you want without anyone stopping you."
