To be able to support the base's normal day operations Liu Tao must have a lot of resources, and the size of it rendered Ye Zhizhou speechless. The original story didn't mention what father Liu did before the apocalypse, it only mentioned that the military aristocrat family of Wei was an old friend of his. Looking at the situation now.... Liu family might had been in the supermarket business.

Facts have confirmed it to be true!

Goods and materials stamped with supermarket seals were neatly stacked in the warehouse. It was guarded by several hundred armed men and twenty or more ability users, even a fly wouldn't be able to break through. The head of logistics Li Hao slid down a rope from the top of the warehouse. His rough face had a beaming smile, "I heard Xiao Chen awakened an ability? Old Liu, are you taking things out to celebrate this great occasion?"

Liu Tao's smile rose, he couldn't help nodding, "That's for sure! Take out what you want! Xiao Chen awakened a spatial ability and there are fruits in there. We'll give each person one fruit when the time comes, it'd always been hard on everyone guarding the warehouse."

The guards cheered hearing that there would be fruits. Li Hao smiled wider and said, 'good boy' as he patted Ye Zhizhou's shoulder. Ye Zhizhou endured his patting quietly and swept his gaze through the thin faces of those guards, he felt quite moved. Behind these people are huge stacks of food, and yet they eat a strict two meals a day, doing their best to leave more food for the ordinary people in the base.

After simple greetings everyone went inside to start moving the supplies. Ten minutes later the amazed guards followed Ye Zhizhou to the next warehouse. All three warehouses were all cleaned up in a matter of two hours. The highly efficient Li Hao once more patted hard on Ye Zhizhou's shoulders.

In the following two days, Liu Tao and Li Hao counted the members who will remain in the base and sorted out the amount to be left behind. On the third day the gate to the base opened up, a line of military trucks lined up to leave, emitting a trail of smoke.

Wei Xu's gaze moved from the leaving trucks. He opened the off-road vehicle door with a composed face, leaning out his body towards the team, "Who would like to go with me?"

Everyone looked at each other then looked to Xu Yi and Qiu Xiangyu. These three were the core of their unit; now, squad leader Wei Xu insisted on leaving, co-leader Qiu Xiangyu was on the fence, while the head of logistics and medics Xu Yi was insisting on staying. Their three leaders were having differing opinions for the first time, making the subordinates feel torn.

"I'll go with you!" The good-looking young man was the first to step out and sit in the backseat of the off-road vehicle, not sparing a glance at Xu Yi and Qiu Xiangyu. He didn't dare to stay in this sort of team after knowing what really happened when Liu Chen fell that day.

The bald man saw him get in the car and angrily cursed under his breath, he brandished his fists to beat this 'traitor'.

Wei Xu's hand raised to meet that fist. His eyes were chilly, "When they board this car they're already a member of my team. I dare you to lay a hand on him!"

Xu Yi's face changed. "Brother Wei, what does that mean? Are we not your team members anymore?"

"You even recruited members without my knowledge and only reported afterwards.. I don't dare call this team mine." Wei Xu's eyes on him were harsh with a hint of mockery. These few days they held a lot of meetings to decide whether to stay or leave and he always persuaded everyone to leave with him while this 'pure' youth who once sought his protection fought him with everyone in the team. This sort of team... This sort of mockery.... Well, his family is still in B city waiting for him, plus he owed Liu Chen to go even more, and there's not a single thing to be missed from this team.
