High-end meat products, precious red wine, all kinds of delicacies are readily available.

The Xialu base will have a dinner party every night, and this banquet is no different from usual.

Qi Xinya could tell that Xia Lu was not specially prepared for her, and the food on the table was all normally supplied in the base.

Their lives are really good.

Rao is accustomed to seeing big scenes, and seeing this table full of delicacies, Qi Xinya's eyes also showed unconcealable envy.

In the last days, everyone's life is very poor, but Xia Lu's base can live a more nourishing life than before the end of the world.

How big is his stock of supplies?

I can't imagine.

Moreover, she could clearly see the smiles on the faces of everyone in the base.

While everyone else is talking about how to survive, the discussion in the Xia Lu base is all about where to hunt xenos and how to quickly increase the level of abilities.

For them, brutal battles are like a game, not so much danger as fun.

I have to say that Qi Xinya at this time is really sour.

There was no performance on her face, but her gestures were no longer as calm as before, like a countryman entering the city, revealing an inferiority complex in her bones.

After the dinner, Xia Lu arranged for someone to send Qi Xinya to the guest room to rest, and he went to the command room to call a few core personnel of the base to arrange the work of the past few days.

This time I went for at least a week, and many things must be arranged in advance after being away for such a long time.

After discussing for more than half an hour, Xia Lu went back to rest.

Early the next morning, the car was ready, and Xia Lu and Qi Xinya got into the car.

After only staying in the Xia Lu base for one night, Qi Xinya's complexion has become better, and she seems to be more energetic.

I have to say that the living conditions here in Xia Lu are not even comparable to the most upscale living conditions in the Yuncheng base.

The people from the Beicheng base were also invited, and it was Zhou Jun who went with Hua Weiwei.

Xia Lu was not surprised by such an arrangement, and in terms of diplomatic relations, Zhou Jun was more proficient than anyone else.

Everyone got into the car and headed towards Cloud City together.

Xia Lu had been to Yuncheng in his previous life, and at that time, the Beicheng base had just been destroyed, and the boundary of Yuncheng was also in a mess.

Stepping into Cloud City again, Xia Lu often saw much better than in his previous life.

The territory of Cloud City is much larger than that of Beicheng, and there are many high mountains in the territory, so the survivor branch here is not concentrated.

Along the way, Xia Lu saw many small human settlements built on the mountain.

These bases are not disguised, and many of them can be seen on the road with people holding weapons at them, as if they suspect that they are here to plunder themselves.

Xia Lu's position can clearly see the yellow muscles and thin faces and thin bodies.

In many bases, there are even a group of fifteen or sixteen children standing guard.

Qi Xinya was also watching the situation of each base along the way, and there was a little sadness in her eyes.

It seems that she has caught up with the embarrassing situation of these bases.

"Miss Qi is in a bad mood?"

Xia Lu sat next to her, and seeing her melancholy expression, she couldn't help but give Li Dahu some eye medicine to provoke the relationship between their insiders.

However, of course, Qi Xinya saw through this little trick at a glance, and immediately put away her frustration and turned around and smiled at him.

"In the last days, it is a blessing to be alive, before the reform, these bases had to hand over a large number of offerings to the Tiger King, and many bases have been reduced to a situation of cannibalism."

"In the past, our base was forced to defect to the Tiger King and become a slave of their base because it couldn't survive, but now each base only needs to pay a small amount of worship, and the Tiger King will send troops to patrol the territory of Cloud City to help them fight against xenomorph threats."

"Many bases have completely abandoned their armament and concentrated on production, doubling their material output."

This material output naturally refers to agricultural products.

Xia Lu smiled slightly.

"I see, it seems that you have a lot of credit for changing their situation, and there must be many people who are grateful to you."

Xia Lu applied eye medicine again.

Qi Xinya frowned.

Xia Lu's frequent provocation made her a little dissatisfied.

If someone is grateful to her, the prestige of the Tiger King will be reduced, and she will slowly become a threat to the Tiger King.

Xia Lu didn't know how to tell her that one day the Tiger King would kill her?

Qi Xinya smiled lightly and didn't dare to respond to Xia Lu.

She didn't want to talk about it too much.

The car drove all the way and finally saw a small number of xenomorph communities.

They are all small groups, seeing that their convoys are fully equipped and their combat power is extraordinary, the general small groups do not dare to attack them, but only dare to chase the convoy all the way, slowly accumulating numbers.

However, these small groups soon stopped as well, as the convoy had already reached the vicinity of the Cloud City base.

This base was built on the basis of the original Cloud City, and many buildings have been preserved.

It has been baptized by many wars, and the buildings are dilapidated, many of which have been renovated, but there are still mottled traces.

The smell of old and decay pervades the city, which has lost its former prosperity and has been replaced by another style.

At the edge of the city, you can already see the crowd gathered in the base.

The entire Cloud City base presents a division of the astrolabe, with no walls and isolation zones on the periphery, and only a few troops are stationed.

On the edge of the base is a mix of residential and trade areas, filled with humble houses and people exhausted by the apocalypse.

Ragged clothes, yellow faces and thin muscles, no hope in their eyes, only struggles under numbness, this is a true portrayal of these people.

Xia Lu also saw a lot of people in shackles among these people, and some people were chained to the side of the road, like goods to be sold.

He couldn't help but look at Qi Xinya curiously.

"Hasn't the slave trade been banned in Cloud City?"

In addition to the North City, there was a slave trade everywhere.

With a base like Cloud City established by the army of marauders, this kind of trade is even more impossible.

This is the inevitable loss of legal and moral constraints in the last days, some people can even sell themselves for a bite to eat, and even there are people in the Luodu base who conduct underground transactions.

It's just that, compared to a marauder base like Cloud City, Luodu's trading volume is small, and it must be very hidden.

The person who is sold only wants a place to eat, and even if it is sold as a commodity, he will not say anything.

However, if Cloud City wants to establish a warlord system, such a transaction must be banned on the surface.

It stands to reason that the blatant act of buying and selling people on the side of the road should be completely banned.

Qi Xinya frowned slightly when she heard this.

"These are all the big lords' trades, and they can't be banned for the time being, they used to sell by plundering people in exchange for supplies, and suddenly they start to ban them, and they want to release these people."
