Chapter 147: Chapter 147: If There Is No Home Anymore, Let’s Build One Together

After a mouthful of hot soup, the fatigue seemed to have dissipated a lot.

"Huh... alive." Zhao Ren fell to the ground with satisfaction, looked at the setting sun in the sky, and closed his eyes.

"Who would have thought that this instant noodle could still have a fragrance? Did you specially mix this seasoning?" Yang Ming looked at Liora, his eyes full of doubts.

Liora did not answer, but just looked at the sky in the distance, where the night was getting darker, her eyes as quiet as the deep sea.

The dusk dyed the sky crimson, smoke rose, and the air was filled with the smell of instant noodles and blood. The bodies of the insect tide had not yet cooled down, and the residual heat was still there because of Shen Haoran burning all the bodies, but people’s hearts had calmed down.

In this quiet and peaceful atmosphere, Liora suddenly spoke.

Her voice was not loud, but she caught everyone’s attention. "You... why have you been following us?"

As soon as the voice fell, Xu Kai and Yang Ming stopped their actions almost at the same time.

Yang Ming glanced at Xu Kai, smiled awkwardly, and whispered, "Did I say that?"

Xu Kai was silent.

"I want to talk to you about... that Hummer," Xu Kai finally said, pointing to Liora’s military Hummer parked nearby.



"——Impossible." Liora’s eyes became sharp in an instant, and she refused decisively without even waiting for him to finish.

She certainly knew what they were planning.

Her Hummer was not an ordinary military vehicle, but a product that had been transformed to the advanced level and was even enhanced by the system several times.

It could not only repair itself but resist zombie attacks, and even suspend for a short time. Even an intermediate psychic might not be able to leave a scratch.

Xu Kai was speechless for a moment and could only stare at her, wanting to say something but stopping.

"At least listen to his explanation." Yang Ming laughed dryly, "He has been looking for you for a long time... We even went to your original base, but unfortunately... it’s gone."

"...What?" Liora’s voice trembled slightly, and a trace of shock flashed in her eyes.

Not only her, but also Chen Wei, Liang Zihan, and Zhou Yinuo, who were sitting beside her, suddenly looked up, and their faces changed.

They were permanent members of the base, and they left only fifteen days ago to complete a mission.

Who would have thought that their home would be destroyed in just half a month?

"What happened? Explain it clearly." Chen Wei’s face turned pale, and his voice was almost squeezed out of his throat.

"When we went there... it was surrounded by a large group of zombies. The wall of the base was torn open, and there was no one inside." Yang Ming whispered, "We can’t contact you at all. We speculate... it should have happened around the tenth day after you left."

At that moment, the campfire fell into silence.

No one spoke.

Chen Wei lowered his head, and the instant noodles in his hand fell into the bowl drop by drop.

Liang Zihan hugged his knees and bit his lips tightly.



Zhou Yinuo looked at the night sky, his eyes empty.

The place they worked hard to run, their home, was gone just like that.

No one notified in advance, and no one rescued.

It seemed that all efforts and persistence were in vain.

"So..." Chen Wei murmured, "We are now... homeless?"

This sentence was not only said to himself, but also seemed to be asking Liora, and more like asking fate.

Liang Zihan looked at them and finally stood up.

He walked to Chen Wei, patted his shoulder, and grinned, "What are you afraid of? Without a home, we can go together. If we are together, won’t we have something to rely on?"

Ji Ming also nodded, "Yes! Isn’t it just a base? At worst, we will wander together."

"We can provide supplies and become stronger together." Shen Haoran stood up with a firm look.

"I... I can purify the water source." Yan Lin whispered.

"We are not strangers anymore." Yun Shou also nodded, "We have experienced life and death together, and we are already teammates."

For a moment, the sense of loss seemed to be lightly dispelled.

And at this moment, Liora straightened her spine and slowly swept her eyes over everyone.

Her voice was calm and clear, "Since we all have no home... why not, build one ourselves."

Everyone was stunned when she said this.



Even Xu Kai frowned and looked up at her, with a bit of scrutiny and... surprise in his eyes.

"What... did you say?" he asked in a low voice.

"I said—we should build a base that belongs to us together." Liora’s eyes were firm, "Not relying on any forces, not relying on anyone. We have crystal cores, superpowers, and resources... We have everything."

"We can choose a ruin with a superior terrain and build it slowly. Even if it’s a brick, a tile, a piece of wood, or a stone, I’m willing to try."

When she said this, her voice was not loud, but every word was like a heavy hammer, hitting everyone’s heart.

Zhao Ren was the first to clap his hands, "I agree! I’ve long disliked those so-called alliances."

"I agree too." Liang Zihan sniffed and tried to smile, "At least... this is our home together."

"I... I don’t want to lose it again a second time." Zhou Yinuo’s eyes were red.

"I will do my best to help." Chen Wei nodded.

"All of us... will work together." Ji Ming clenched his fist.

Shen Haoran’s eyes reflected the glow of the campfire as he sat beside Mei, his expression unusually solemn. "Then let’s do it," he said, voice low but resolute. "We’ll build a place that no tide, no zombie, no betrayal can take from us."

One by one, they nodded, a quiet determination settling in their hearts like the coming dawn.
