Chapter 113 To Go or to Stay
It wasn't until he heard the words "long-term separation" that he suddenly understood.
This is to create the illusion of scarce energy sources, so that it will not be very attractive to the beast tide.
Other bases did transmit intelligence about the attacks on the alien beasts, mainly because they were attracted by the superhumans within the bases. The leader was just trying to trick Yu Miaomiao.
Unexpectedly, Yu Miaomiao didn't take the bait, but she didn't deliberately hide it either. Instead, she took the initiative to share the information she had.
They've seen plenty of information brokers, people who exchange information for resources and make exorbitant demands, so when talking to these people, they always try their best to get information out of them.
Sincerity is almost extinct in today's world.
Because the bases attacked so far are all large survivor bases, and the number of superhumans in these bases is relatively large.
Small survivor bases generally cannot retain superhumans because the treatment and living conditions are not as good as those in large bases.
This actually allowed many scattered small bases to escape the invasion of the alien beast tide, while large bases suffered heavy losses in the alien beast tide.
People are too busy with self-rescue and defense to think carefully about the reasons behind it.
If it were Yu Miaomiao from her previous life, upon hearing these fragmented pieces of information, she probably wouldn't have been able to realize the problem as quickly as Ye Jian.
Her gaze was intense, as if she were looking up at someone. If it weren't for the sudden arrival of the apocalypse, if she hadn't been reborn, she would never have met someone like this in her entire life.
"The beasts can sense the energy fluctuations of superhumans, but the fluctuations generated by a few superhumans are weak and insignificant. Therefore, only gathering places with more than ten superhumans will be attacked by large-scale beast hordes."
After hearing Yu Miaomiao's words, everyone was surprised that she seemed to be narrating the facts from a god-like perspective.
Aside from Lu An and Xu Nanwei, who were already used to her outrageous remarks, everyone else cast complex and inquisitive glances at her.
She remained calm and composed, patting the seemingly sleeping soundly sesame paste-san who was actually dreaming of something delicious. Seeing the dog drooling and rubbing against her leg, she pushed the dog's big head away with a hint of disgust.
He continued, "The number of beast tides is large, so it's beneficial to disperse the ability users to maintain a stable living environment in the long term. The distance is also important; maintaining the right distance ensures both communication and the safety of each dispersed base."
"It's like a whole piece of sugar falling on the ground, which will attract a swarm of ants to share it, while scattered bits of sugar will only attract a few scattered ants nearby."
Yu Miaomiao pointed to the cookies on the table and crushed them as an analogy. She had just crushed a few when Ma Jiang, who was pretending to be asleep, shoved them all into her mouth.
Lu An pinched the dog's big mouth and, feeling disappointed, dragged it aside with Ma Jiang.
This scene immediately eased everyone's tension.
That's how Sesame Sauce is; she's observant and always worries about everyone.
Waaaaah, the world can't be without puppies!
"Yes, that's the idea. A few ants are easy to deal with, but if a group of ants share the food, you're more likely to lose sight of what's available and suffer huge losses."
Everyone instantly understood what Yu Miaomiao meant; this simple metaphor made the tense situation seem less urgent.
Maintaining a concentrated yet dispersed approach over a long period allows survivors to clear out small groups of alien beasts, reducing casualties.
This also prevents large-scale gatherings and attacks by monstrous beasts, allowing survivors to spread out and reducing the current resource crisis in the dungeon. Spreading out also increases the possibility of finding supplies.
"That's a good idea."
"Um."
Everyone turned their attention to the leader, who nodded slightly, his tightly furrowed brows relaxing. Everyone understood that the suggestion had been adopted.
"But will this also lead to the annihilation of some small bases?"
"Yes, because the attack strength of the alien beasts varies. If the ability users in a small base are no match for them, it means annihilation."
Yu Miaomiao didn't want to lie, "But by maintaining a good distance and formation, we can ensure a certain level of timely support."
"Okay, we can talk about the details tomorrow. I'll have them start preparing the preliminary work. Kid, you must be tired. Go home and get some rest."
Seeing that the group was covered in sweat and filthy, Yang Silu waved his hand and sent them back.
"Then I'll go prepare for the follow-up work now."
The chief's secretary also felt a long-lost sense of relief. Since the apocalypse, he had never seen the chief happy, as he was always so engrossed in the affairs of the base that he neglected to eat or sleep.
"First, we need to review the list of all the ability users. It's not easy to mobilize them to move out of the base." Yang Silu had just felt relieved because the beast tide could be resolved, but then he thought again, at this time, who would be willing to leave the headquarters of the underground city?
Who would want to leave their perfectly good underground city to make a living outside?
It's human nature to seek advantage and avoid harm.
They paid an entrance fee to enter the dungeon, and now they're letting the superpowered individuals leave. This will definitely cause a huge uproar in the dungeon.
The outside is scorching hot, with strange beasts roaming freely. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that the extreme heat could boil a person alive.
An ordinary person exposed to extreme heat would be like being placed directly into a giant steamer, and would die in an instant.
Even though people with superpowers are much more tolerant of the environment, they still feel very hot, extremely hot, to the point of feeling dizzy.
In this environment, it's like spending all day in the yard under the scorching summer sun, unable to eat or sleep. Is it possible for those superhumans who have become highly sought after since the apocalypse to endure such suffering?
The temperature in the underground city is still much more comfortable than on the surface.
Moreover, some superhumans must remain in the underground city headquarters, so who will go and who will stay?
A series of questions bombarded Yang Silu's mind, and he began to worry again.
Yu Miaomiao was about to leave when she noticed Yang Silu's distress and understood the key to the problem. However, the decision-making power did not lie with her, but with the old man in front of her.
"You're worried about who's willing to take on the task of mobilizing superhumans? How do you get them out of here? They've finally made it into the capital's underground city, who would want to go out and suffer like this? Right?"
Putting herself in Yu Miaomiao's shoes, she also didn't want to give up her comfortable environment to go outside.
The current underground city is the last Eden under the apocalypse.
It's no exaggeration to call the dungeon a post-apocalyptic paradise. Once powerful people enter the dungeon, what do they care about the situation outside? Even corpses scattered everywhere can't wake these people with their eyes closed. They can still indulge in a life of luxury every day, holding resources, power, and the right to speak, which is hard power.
However, those people were no match for Yu Miaomiao after her rebirth.
Thinking about it, with this space at her fingertips, who could live a more unrestrained life than her?
Perhaps rebirth is a mercy from heaven, allowing her to suffer, despair, and regret, and then giving her a second chance. Since she has been given a second chance to live, she must live until the day she sees the world regain its vitality.
