Two hours later, Meng De finally finished clearing out the two large warehouses.
However, it had been a month since the apocalypse began, and the warehouse's refrigeration facilities had long been in disrepair.
Some of the meat products had inevitably spoiled.
Fortunately, most of them were still well-preserved.
Thus, his personal space was once again filled to the brim.
Of course, it was only a small portion.
As his superpower level increased, his personal space had expanded countless times.
It could practically be considered an infinite space now.
While collecting supplies, he casually had Jia Yi change into a new set of clothes in the clothing storage area.
Hmm... she got wet again.
This made Jia Yi complain: "Husband, you're too much."
Changing clothes three times in less than three hours—no one else could do that.
By the time they emerged from the warehouse, Jia Yi's lips were slightly swollen.
But for a top-tier goddess like Jia Yi, this was just a tiny, insignificant flaw.
It even made Jia Yi wonder if the "battle" her husband mentioned next time referred to this kind of "battle."
So now, Jia Yi didn't dare let her husband touch her.
What if something... happened again?
That would be absolutely terrible.
When they arrived at the residential building behind, what they saw was pretty much what he had expected.
Inside the rooms were women dressed in revealing clothes.
Though their looks couldn't compare to a goddess like Jia Yi, they were still rated around 70 to 80 points by the system.
But as they walked past, these women all looked numb, their eyes dull and lifeless!
They had completely lost the grace that beautiful women should have.
When they saw Meng De, a man, enter, they instinctively lay down and spread their legs.
It had almost become a bodily reflex.
It was clear what they had been through.
Seeing this, Jia Yi felt deep sympathy for these women but also immense relief.
Thankfully, she and her sister had met their husband early on.
Otherwise, this might have been their fate sooner or later.
In the apocalypse, a woman's beauty, without corresponding strength, could only be a disaster!
Jia Yi secretly made a resolution: after returning, she must help Xiao Yao awaken her powers as soon as possible!
Especially after what they saw next in the basement.
This only strengthened her resolve!
Meng De and Jia Yi had walked around the building, planning to leave.
But just before they left, Meng De, who had been keeping his psychic perception active, discovered a basement.
When they reached the basement door, Meng De let out a cold laugh.
He told Jia Yi to hide behind him.
At first, Jia Yi didn't understand, but she quickly realized.
Meng De started shooting at the basement door.
As the door was riddled with holes, screams echoed from inside.
Her face instantly turned cold.
Someone inside had tried to ambush them!
"Don't worry, they're probably just remnants of the Baolong Base guards," Meng De said with a smile, completely unfazed.
He had already sensed them through his psychic perception.
Pushing open the basement door, they were greeted by the sight of several guard corpses holding guns.
Looking further inside, the basement was large but sparsely furnished.
Apart from a few simple beds, there were only iron cages—the kind used to confine dogs.
However, what was locked inside at this moment was not a dog.
But living, breathing people!!!
The cages were not large; people inside could only sit, unable to stand up.
At a glance, there were about three to four hundred of them.
Among them, there were not many men; most were women.
Their faces were uniformly haggard, and many of the women bore signs of having been abused.
When Meng De and the other person entered, instead of showing excitement, many of them displayed fear on their faces.
Not one dared to speak, only staring intently in their direction.
Meng De frowned and walked over to a man near the door.
This man was one of the few Meng De had noticed among so many people, someone whose eyes revealed determination.
It was a sense of unwillingness, and his face did not show fear.
Most importantly, he was also a Powered individual!
"Were you a soldier before?"
From this man, he saw the shadows of Tiezhu and Leng Feng.
A very familiar feeling!
That was something only a soldier would have.
"Yes!"
The man's hands were tightly bound.
The iron cage was also much smaller than the others.
Thus, his body was lying in a strange position.
But the man never let out a single cry of pain from beginning to end.
When communicating with him, his tone was also very calm.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Meng De!"
"You're not with them?"
Meng De shrugged.
He knew very well who the "them" in the man's mouth referred to.
"That's quite obvious."
"I'm a Survivor from nearby, here to search for supplies."
"The people from Baolong Base outside have all been killed by me."
Although the man hid it deeply, Meng De still saw a trace of hatred in his eyes.
If he wasn't mistaken...
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, the man, who had been calm, suddenly burst into tears.
"A Zhen, you can rest in peace now!"
"Those people are finally dead!"
From the man's sobbing, Meng De roughly understood what had happened.
The man's name was Lei Qiang, a retired special forces soldier.
A Zhen was his wife.
When the apocalypse came, A Qiang went out to look for food.
As a result, on a starry night, A Zhen was captured.
Upon hearing the news, A Qiang came to search.
But what he saw was A Zhen being abused to death by the people from Baolong Base.
And the one who killed A Zhen was none other than Baldy Third, who had already been killed by Meng De!
Enraged, A Qiang wanted to take revenge.
But how could a mere Tier-2 Ability user like him defeat so many Powered individuals from Baolong Base?
In the end, he was captured.
The people from Baolong Base did not kill him immediately but instead thought to torture him.
This, Meng De could tell from the scars on his body.
Although the love story was clichéd, it had to be admitted that this was indeed a tough man!
Whether it was the courage to seek revenge or the willpower to endure such prolonged torture.
He deserved Meng De's respect!
Without hesitation, Meng De opened the cage and released him.
But what he didn't expect was that as soon as A Qiang came out, he knelt directly in front of Meng De.
"You avenged me, from now on my life is yours!"
This was no empty promise.
From his eyes, Meng De saw nothing but gratitude and determination towards him!
Moreover, the system's favorability prompt also made it clear.
In just a short while, Lei Qiang's favorability towards him had already reached the level of absolute loyalty!
It was a level where he would even be willing to die for him!
Meng De felt elated!
He had gained a fierce general!
To be on the safe side, Meng De immediately implanted the "Seed of Consciousness" in him!
This was to ensure Lei Qiang's loyalty.
After the implantation, Lei Qiang's gaze towards him became even more fervent!
"By the way, A-Qiang."
"Are all the people here the same as you?"
After Lei Qiang confirmed it, Meng De was certain.
This basement was a place where Baolong Base imprisoned Survivors.
All the Survivors here had been captured.
Given this, Meng De directly ordered him to release everyone.
Looking at the crowded basement, before he could speak,
The system's notification sound rang out first.
[Ding! Discovered a top-tier goddess: Innate Mature Woman Holy Body]
Meng De's eyes lit up.
