Chapter 43: False Advertising

The four returned to the orchard the next morning.

After looking around and finding nothing, they entered their cars and finally left the JR Farm-Stay.

One week later, their convoy of two cars arrived at the gate of DM Produce Inc.

At a glance, the gate was barely hanging on its hinges, and the four couldn’t help but be discouraged.

“It looks like we are late.” Lin Rongrong spoke through the walkie-talkie.

“Let’s go in and have a look.” Qin Wu said.

Although she also thought they were too late, there was no harm in looking around.

After all, space ability users were rare, and their storage spaces were small.

Unless the army raided the facility, there was still a chance they would find some good things.

“The gate of the RB Limited company was also destroyed, but we still collected a lot of supplies.”

“How can it be the same?” Lin Rongrong didn’t agree.

After all, RB Limited was a household and hygiene products company, while DM Produce was a food company.

On the scale of things, DM Produce was more attractive to survivors than RB Limited.

Qin Wu also knew this, so she didn’t argue with Lin Rongrong.

Instead, she switched off the walkie-talkie and turned to Mo Chenxuan.

“Brother Chenxuan, what’s the situation in the company?”

“There are still many supplies, but the number of survivors is also many.”

“What should we do? Should we give up on the supplies here?” Qin Wu wondered and then shook her head.

“I don’t want to.” She said.

Before the apocalypse, the DM Produce company made the best natural fruit juices, canned fruits, and vegetables in the region.

Although they had already collected many DM Produce products from the fulfilment centre, sortation centre, and several malls, Qin Wu felt they didn’t have enough.

After all, she and Mo Chenxuan would eventually have many people under their command.

Considering that, she wanted to collect as many good things as possible.

Soon after, the cars stopped in front of a processing plant.

Simultaneously, Mo Chenxuan, Qin Wu, Xu Fei, and Lin Rongrong heard the sound of fighting and things crashing on the floor.

“What’s happening?” Qin Wu asked.

“In-fighting.”

“In-fighting? What do you mean?”

“A superpower team seems to have lost its leader. The remaining members are fighting amongst themselves. It looks like they are divided into three camps, each supporting a different person.”

“Let’s avoid them.”

“Mmh.” Mo Chenxuan agreed.

If the DM Produce company only had one processing plant, Mo Chenxuan and his team would be forced to encounter those people.

However, the company had many processing plants and getting involved was a matter of choice.

Since the four had no reason to interfere in the in-fighting, they avoided the plant and headed to another.

As they walked, they encountered another team.

The team had five men and two women.

At a glance, the seven were energetic and looked physically stronger than ordinary people.

However, it was impossible to discern their abilities from a casual glance.

“Are you guys from the Carefree base?” One of the men asked while looking at the four.

’Carefree base?’ Qin Wu thought, and her lips unconsciously twitched.

’What kind of base name is that? Who would dare to live in such a base?’ She wondered, but her face was expressionless.

“We are just passing by. We are not from the Carefree base.” Mo Chenxuan answered.

“Passing by? Where did you come from?”

“We came from town R.” Qin Wu lied.

“You can settle in our Carefree base if you want.” One of the women said.

“Don’t let the name fool you. The base is anything but carefree.” Another said, and a trace of grievance flashed in her eyes.

She originally went to the Carefree base because she wanted to live a relaxed life.

Unexpectedly, the Carefree base was worse than a military camp!

Not only did the survivors need to participate in the construction of the base, but they also had to kill the surrounding zombies and go out to find supplies.

Before she knew it, her carefree dream was cruelly crushed, but the woman was secretly grateful.

Although she couldn’t live the carefree life she originally yearned for, she now could protect herself.

After thinking about it, she felt being able to protect herself was better than relying on the protection of others.

“Were you tricked into going there? Was it false advertising?” Lin Rongrong asked in an eager voice.

“They drew a pie in the sky, and I immediately reached to eat it. However, I later realised that the only pie I could eat was the one I baked for myself.” The woman rolled her eyes, and several people burst into laughter.

“It sounds like a good base.” Qin Wu said.

“Do you want to go there?”

“Our team is heading to the capital. We will visit the Carefree base when we have a chance in the future.”

“The capital? Do you dare to go?” One of the men asked in an incredulous voice.

“The capital had more than twenty-five million people before the apocalypse. That translates to more than twenty million zombies. Additionally, many survivors are heading to the capital, which makes the situation worse. Do you really want to go there?”

Qin Wu sighed with a helpless expression.

“Our families are there. Even if they may not be alive, we still have to go to take a look.”

“You are quite filial.” One of the seven said, looking at the four in admiration.

“We can’t stop you since you are determined to go. However, you must be careful when passing Chenjia village.”

Mo Chenxuan and the others frowned when they heard this.

After all, Chenjia village was along their predetermined path.

Although they had an alternative path, Mo Chenxuan didn’t want to change their original route unless they really had to.

Thinking this way, he looked at the seven with a solemn expression.

“What’s going on in Chenjia village?” He asked.
