The Seventh Base

They had come up from a passage in the black market. At first, they just walked around near the passage, wanting to understand the strength of the monsters.

Then, they slowly ventured farther away, discovering that most of the monsters in this area were likely at a C-level, roughly equivalent to the level of the top figures in the Arena.

Occasionally, they encountered some powerful monsters, but Xu Mo was able to handle them.

So, they were ready to make a long journey.

Toward the city.

Xu Mo and Ye Qingdie walked in front, Elsa and Xiao Qi in the middle, while Shadow followed behind with a huge bundle on his back.

“What are you smiling about?” Xiao Qi asked Elsa beside her.

“Ah…” Elsa’s gaze lingered on Xu Mo’s back.

At Xiao Qi’s words, she lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushing a bit.

She just felt that life seemed to have hope again.

That she could actually walk outside with Xu Mo.

There was fresh air here, sunshine, and the vast expanse of land.

So much so, that she even forgot about the dangers, lost in the feeling.

At this moment, she seemed to cherish the hard-won nature of life even more.

Xiao Qi glanced at Ye Qingdie walking with Xu Mo up front.

A love rival, indeed.

But Sister Butterfly has her own advantages.

Quite significant ones.

“Why is it so hot outside, what is that thing, so large and fiery up there, and why doesn’t it fall down?” Xiao Qi looked up at the celestial body hanging in the sky.

The outside world was truly amazing.

So many things they had never seen before.

Xu Mo did not explain, but felt that their group needed to be educated on some basic ‘compulsory education’ knowledge.

Would the schools in the city take such ‘big elementary students’?

He himself was just as ignorant about this planet.

A bird with two heads circled above their heads.

“Prepare to fight,” Xu Mo said aloud.

After circling for a moment, the bird dived down towards Xu Mo and his companions.

“Boom…” Ye Qingdie raised her gun and fired, while Xiao Qi’s mechanical arm shot out a blue light, blocking the bird’s flight path.

Energy Light hit the bird, and it let out a sharp cry, but it did not die; instead, it continued its rapid descent.

Both heads opened their mouths at the same time, spitting out Source Power Lightning toward Xu Mo and his group.

“Crack…” The savage Source Power Lightning struck itself, causing its body to flip unstably.

Xu Mo leaped up, slicing through with his War Saber between the two heads.

“Source Power.”

The monsters in the ruins could absorb Source Power.

Even use Source Power.

Xu Mo could sense the strength of the Source Power, which he could use to roughly judge their power.

“We’ve come a long way, let’s speed up,” he said, then lowered his head and began to run, the others swiftly following, running and leaping through the ruins of the city.

They directly killed any monster they encountered along the way.

After running for a while, Xu Mo heard some noise ahead and made a gesture; immediately, their pace slowed down, and they moved forward stealthily.

They all knew Xu Mo had a strong sense of perception, which had helped them avoid many troubles.

“There are people,” Xu Mo said to Ye Qingdie beside him.

A gleam of light appeared in Ye Qingdie’s eyes, finally, humans?

She felt a slight excitement.

In the world above, they had not yet encountered other humans.

Like Elsa, Ye Qingdie was filled with longing and curiosity about the world above.

Eager to explore the unknown.

To them, it was a brand new world.

She wonders how Xu Mo managed to remain so calm, as if nothing ever surprised him.

Xu Mo stopped in front of a pile of ruins that provided cover, where on the other side, a group was hunting a monster.

There were five people, fully armed and decked out with equipment.

“Hmm?” Xu Mo detected that after killing the monster, they actually dragged it onto a vehicle parked nearby.

It resembled a pickup, but larger.

“Let’s go.”

Xu Mo stepped forward; having finally encountered humans, they naturally wanted to clarify the situation.

It would be best to enter the city first.

They crossed the ruins ahead, and as the people there had just loaded the monster’s body onto their vehicle and were preparing to leave, they heard the sound and looked towards Xu Mo and his group.

Xu Mo removed his helmet, and as the group saw Xu Mo and his companions approaching, they first looked wary, then surprised.

This group was very young.

Xu Mo appeared to be no older than eighteen.

“Uncle, where are you guys headed?” Ye Qingdie asked a middle-aged man in front of her.
