I’ve stayed in a couple of small bases before, where young single women with good figures, well, the outcome wasn’t very pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you really want to go in, make sure you gather information and know what kind of taboos there are beforehand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the culture and conditions in each base are quite different. Of course, if you’re open to certain kinds of work, then just consider what I’ve said as nonsense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan couldn’t help but smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy was quite something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her inner vigilance wouldn’t be swayed by a few words, and even if he hadn’t said anything, she would have taken the same precautions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, thanks for the heads up,” Jiang Yan said nonchalantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re welcome.” The man finished speaking as if he let out a sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moving line of traffic began to shift again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, Jiang Yan finally reached the perimeter of the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A seven or eight-story tall wall of ice loomed ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the ice sculpture above the main door bearing the words “Flame Base,”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the post-apocalyptic context,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan might have felt as if she’d wandered into a magnified version of Harbin’s Ice and Snow World from before the apocalypse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On top of those ice walls and in some hollowed-out spaces in the middle, every position was manned by a warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without exception, they were fully armed, each holding a submachine gun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at them, the deterrent aura was substantial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the ice wall, a trench about ten meters wide encircled it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That trench seemed to be at least twenty or thirty meters deep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reinforced with some materials and appearing very smooth,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat reminiscent of the moats outside ancient city walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan surmised that the design of this “moat” was probably to prevent encounters with mutated animals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, she had seen movies before, some sci-fi films that featured such defenses to ward off zombies and the like.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things considered, compared to the base in Xiangcheng, this one was indeed on a whole different level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This place was not to be underestimated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enter the base, there was a four-lane road leading straight through the ice wall gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ice blocks had been used to construct protective barriers on both sides of the passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cars slowly made their way up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before crossing, there was a manual inspection,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Likely to check for flammable or explosive items in the vehicles or luggage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several burly warriors armed with guns were leading a few large German Shepherds, scrutinizing each vehicle closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These were the first new surviving animals that Jiang Yan had seen again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those German Shepherds, most probably mutated, were about the size of an adult pig.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking all formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those entering the base queued for inspection as usual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For those who temporarily did not enter the base, there were several people nearby wearing cardboard signs to attract customers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[50g of grain for a night’s stay in a snow house!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[It’s not that you can’t afford the base, snow houses offer better value for money…]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yan looked at these signs and the people who were bearing the brunt of the wind and snow, her gaze slightly frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, she had the feeling of intending to go to a scenic area but unexpectedly stumbling upon a country homestay…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was true what they say, you live and learn.\u003C\u002Fp>",1334,"2026-06-06T15:07:16.289Z",1,"novelbin.me","47841cdf59c5afd32cb6bd0a1ef6f29db90e16f366b2adf439e502762d05e535","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-227","apocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-chapter-225",469,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-after-being-reborn-i-stocked-up-on-al-cover.jpg"]
