Chapter 349: Nibbling Away

Xiao Mu looked deeply at Qin Yi after explaining. The youth in front of him looked very strong, and if that was true, their base might be saved.
How could there be sympathy in the apocalypse? Through the years, the number of bases had grown but the amount of resources remained limited. Conflicts between bases became more common, especially since the larger bases naturally looked down on the smaller ones, to the extent that they started snatching their supplies and killing others.
The so-called ranking and swapping pointers with friendly bouts were in fact just a front for the largest few bases to nibble away at the small bases. If not for their base location being too far away, it would have long been devoured.
Qin Yi was naturally aware of this. The scuffles between bases in her previous life were much more ferocious where the destruction of cities and bases were not because of zombies but due to humans. More specifically, the greed and ferocity of the human heart.
Qin Yi did not raise her head, continuing to stir gently for a few rounds before speaking up.
“Let’s eat.”
Xiao Lu was overwhelmed by her favor and rubbed his hands in anticipation to take a bite while Qin Yi ate gracefully.
“I’ll go.”
Xiao Mu heaved a sigh of relief in his heart but did not eat her food, continuing to eat his bread.
Qin Yi did not force them. Xiao Mu was cautious against her and tried to coerce her to join the battle with the beastmen, but she was already interested in it to begin with.
The effect of reviving the dead was equal to having a second life. Who did not want that? Qin Yi desired it as well.
Qin Yi and Xiao Lu finished up the soup and meat. Xio Lu rubbed his belly in bliss, reflecting that this was the best meal he had in his life.
Qin Yi casually put the remaining items into her Origin Space, causing Xiao Lu to envy her.
‘Spatial ability users are so lucky to be able to move out so easily.’
Xiao Mu’s ability was strengthened hearing, while Xiao Lu had strengthened vision. Their ability to see a thousand miles and listen to the wind made them the perfect pair for searching.
The three stayed in the snowy area for half a day, only packing up and heading back to the base after ensuring that the beastman had run away.
Qin Yi felt it was a pity. She wanted to see what a beastman was, not having seen one before.
Xiao Lu’s base was called Snow Mountain Base and was relatively close to the snowy mountains. It was pretty small in scale.
Qin Yi noted that the population was roughly a hundred, but the majority of them were ordinary humans, with very little awakened beings. Furthermore, the majority of them were elderly, and even the awakened beings looked malnourished.
It was as expected: the base was truly weak, to the point that even a small team from a middle-sized base could easily devour them.
Upon entering, everyone’s eyes turned to Qin Yi. Much less her astounding complexion and temperament, her rosy appearance and clean clothes made them envious of her.
At the same time, they had respect for her. People who lived well also had strength.
Xiao Lu felt proud at having brought back such a powerful ability user.
Just as he was about to bring Qin Yi to the chief of the base, an old lady trudged over to them with the help of a walking stick. Her face was yellowish, but her eyes were bright and clear.
Xiao Lu walked over with worry in his eyes, asking her, “Mum, why are you here? You should be at home, resting.”
The old lady did not reply, only focusing on Qin Yi, wisdom apparent in eyes that seemed to have seen the world.
“Please save our base.”
