Chapter 1298.

The two siblings, Zhang Shen and Zhang Qian, ate up the energy bar in their hands with a wolfish gulp.

After eating it, they even let out a burp filled with the flavor of happiness!

Wang Chen was very curious to what extent the supplies in the D01359 base were so scarce that they couldn’t even feed the two children, forcing them to run to the surface to take risks.

Even if the energy radiation had destroyed all the technological facilities, the solid food packs, energy bars, vacuum canned goods, and other reserve materials could be preserved for decades without refrigeration and freezing.

Zhang Shen licked his lips, looked up at the sky again, and said, “My lord, let’s go now, it will be dangerous when it gets dark later, in case we run into a hunter-killer it will be troublesome.”

Hunters?

Wang Dust’s gaze flickered.

Hunters were one of the military types of the Underworld Race, and listening to the other party, it was obvious that there were still alien races on Planet Tempus.

He kept it in his mind and did not pursue it.

Under Zhang Shen’s lead, Wang Chen followed the brother and sister as they drilled into a dry sewer.

The three of them traversed the labyrinthine underground pipes for nearly half an hour, then climbed down into a deep well.

There was no lighting in this underground space, and it was impossible to reach out and see, but Zhang Shen carried a fluorescent stone with him to use for illumination, and finally arrived in front of a rusty steel shield door.

Thunk thunk thunk!

Zhang Shen swung his fist and rhythmically knocked on the door.

After a moment, a small window suddenly opened on the door, revealing a pair of eyes.

“Hehe, you guys brought an outsider back?”

The voice inside the door was hoarse with suspicion, “Who is he?”

“This lord is a warcaster, he’s here to find someone.”

Zhang Shen accompanied with a smile, “Uncle Sun, please do me a favor, this lord saved me and my sister, he’s not a bad guy.”

“Bad guys don’t have words carved on their faces.”

Uncle Sun inside said resentfully, “Since you are willing to act as a guarantor, it’s fine to let him in, but the rules can’t be changed.”

Wang Chen didn’t move and took out five energy rods and stuffed them in, “Is this okay?”

On the way here, he had heard from Zhang Shen that there had been outsiders who had come to D01359 base in the past and paid a fee to enter according to the rules set by the base chief.

The fee was certainly not star dollars, but all useful supplies.

Food was of course the best hard currency!

In fact during the fall of Tampax, many of the underground bases maintained communication links and personnel until the appearance of an energy storm drastically changed the situation.

Base D01359 had also gone unvisited for a long time.

Although the gatekeeper had a high level of vigilance towards outsiders, the five energy rods easily destroyed his reserve.

Accompanied by a teeth-grinding sound of friction, the heavy shield door opened from the inside.

Zhang Shen pulled his sister and dashed in, followed by Wang Dust.

Bang!

The shield door was slammed back shut and sealed with a falling lock.

Inside, there were a total of two people guarding the portal, and when they saw Wang Chuan, who had entered behind his siblings, their faces all revealed a look of surprise.

Because Wang Chuan’s dress and mental outlook didn’t look at all like someone who had been trapped underground on this planet for three years.

“Which base are you from?”

One of the middle-aged men couldn’t help but ask, “Class A?”

Wang Dust nodded, “A00023.”

The D01359 bases should not yet know that the Empire had recaptured the Tempus Cluster, and because of the huge impact caused by the unknown energy radiation, the Empire was unable to get in touch with these bases as well.

The mission that Xu Chengzhi had performed earlier had also included searching for survivors, and as a result, he had become a missing person himself.

In order to avoid trouble, Wang Chen did not intend to tell these people the truth for the time being.

After all, the receiving flying ships all had to land on this planet a month later, and the number of people they could take at once was very limited.

So he just casually said the number of an A-class base.

The other party believed it.

The other gatekeeper asked again, “Who are you here to see?”

So Wang Dust took out the photo again.

The two passed it around to each other and looked at it, and finally both shook their heads – they had never seen it.

One said, “Go inside and ask Tiehu and the others, they often go to the surface to gather supplies, so maybe they’ve come across it.”

“Thanks.”

Wang Dust thought about it and pulled out another pack of cigarettes, “You guys split it.”

“Crap!”

The other party’s eyes were glaring out of their sockets, “You actually brought cigarettes, you really deserve to be from an A-class base!”

Wang Chen smiled and said to Zhang Shen’s siblings, “Let’s go.”

The three of them walked through the long underground passageway and descended another hundred or so meters down a flight of steps before pushing open a door.

The main area of the D01359 base was presented before Wang Chen’s eyes.

This D-class base actually still had a basic power supply, possessing an obviously remodeled lighting system, and although it looked very crude, it at least allowed the people living here to not return to barbarism.

It was only that most of the equipment and facilities were inoperative, and everything looked in disarray, like a steel fortress in disrepair that looked rather alarming.

Some of the wires laid on the walls were still tingling and sparking with electricity.

Along the way, Wang Chen encountered some people from the base.

They all looked gray, dirty and emaciated, living a bit like the walking dead.

This made the first-timer Wang Dust become a crane-like existence, triggering everyone’s attention.

Some people followed right behind.

A few of them had a greedy and cynical look in their eyes.

Zhang Shen got nervous, he quickened his pace and led Wang Duan to the door of a small bar, “My lord, Tie Hu and the others should be inside, you can ask, I ……”

He opened his mouth, and the words that followed could not be said.

“I know.”

Wang Dust patted his shoulder, “Thank you for bringing me here, you go home with your sister.”

Zhang Shen said softly, “You must be careful.”

After saying that, he took off the backpacks on himself and Zhang Qian and threw them on the ground before pulling his sister to run away quickly.

Those who followed and gathered around just glanced at him before returning their attention back to Wang Chen.

Smart little guy!

Wang Dust smiled and pushed the door open.

The noisy sound mixed with the unpleasant odor hit his face, only to see that there were twenty to thirty people sitting in this dimly lit bar, they were sitting around in groups of three to five, drinking and laughing loudly at the same time.

Wang Duan’s sudden appearance was as if a movie that was playing suddenly pressed the pause button.

The noise in the bar came to a screeching halt, and everyone turned their heads towards Wang Chen, making him the center of attention in the room.

Surprised, puzzled, greedy, coveted ……

Under the gazes of all sorts of strange gazes, Wang Dust asked indifferently, “May I ask who is Iron Tiger?”

Everyone’s gazes, in turn, looked at a burly man sitting in front of the bar.

The latter slowly stood up, “I am.”
