[City Base.]
The sprawling settlement of City Base was a testament to human resilience, hastily constructed from the shattered concrete and reinforced steel of a fallen world. As they walked through the bustling central marketplace, the atmosphere was a stark contrast to the deathly quiet of the wastelands outside the walls.
"Thank you again, Big Sister." Natasha said, walking beside Cupcake in the street. Her voice was laced with genuine gratitude, her posture deferential despite her own formidable status among the survivors.
"Don't thank me, I didn't do anything." Cupcake said, moving her gaze on the stores all over.
The citizens recognized their saviors immediately. The people would occasionally rush towards Natasha, and Tang Lu, who was following behind them, greeting with smiles on their faces, some even giving gifts of scavenged jewelry and rare fruits. To the masses, Natasha and Tang Lu were absolute deities—the untouchable guardians of City Base.
