Chapter 1370 Finally arrived
Its purpose is to fully maintain the basic order of City N and prevent this vicissitudes-ridden city from falling into complete chaos and disorder.
At the same time, it also provides security for the base personnel's outbound activities, allowing them to travel relatively safely between cities when searching for supplies, exploring the surrounding conditions or performing other tasks.
It is precisely because of their unremitting and persistent efforts, countless sweat and even blood, that they have created the relatively stable environment of N City today.
At this time, the people in the Hope Base looked at the streets of N City through the car windows, their hearts full of longing.
Their eyes sparkled with longing for a better life in the future, as if they had already seen the warm scene of themselves settling down here.
It was a safe and convenient life, what they dreamed of in this doomsday.
The children were so excited that they pressed their bodies tightly against the car windows, their delicate little fingers pointing out of the window, their eyes filled with curiosity as if they were filled with a clear lake.
They chattered one after another, asking the adults a series of questions about the city.
"Dad, you've been to City N on a business trip before. What did it look like before?"
A little boy blinked his big watery eyes, which seemed to contain stars, sparkling.
He reached out expectantly, grasped the corner of his father's clothes, and shook it gently.
The father bent down slightly, with endless kindness on his face. His big, broad hands gently stroked the boy's head. A trace of distant memories quietly appeared in his eyes, as if he had opened a door to the past years. He slowly said:
"Baby, this city used to be very prosperous, with tall buildings standing in rows, busy streets, people shopping in malls, strolling in parks, and laughter everywhere. At that time, the city was brightly lit at night, neon lights flashing, and the streets and alleys were filled with the aroma of delicious food."
In the father's eyes, nostalgia and yearning were like intertwined threads, clearly visible, as if at that moment, he had traveled back to the good old days.
"Mom, can we really live here forever?"
A little girl with a playful ponytail snuggled intimately in her mother's arms, slightly tilting her childish face, her eyes seemed to be filled with golden sunlight, full of longing and expectation.
The mother raised her lips in a gentle smile. She gently stretched out her hand, and with the warmth of love, she pinched the girl's pink cheeks. Her voice was as gentle as the spring breeze:
"Of course, baby. This will be our home from now on, and we can live a stable life here."
The adults all had smiles on their faces, their eyes filled with patience and warmth, as they answered the children's questions one by one.
In their eyes, the expectations for the future shine like the brightest and brightest stars in the night sky.
.........
The journey was surprisingly smooth and the convoy drove smoothly.
Outside the car window, the changing scenery was like a flowing scroll, flying past endlessly.
As time went by, the convoy gradually approached the mountains where the Jinling base was located.
We started climbing the mountain along the winding mountain road. The vehicle's engine made a low roar, as if gathering strength for this final journey.
The wheels rolled over the rugged mountain road, causing slight bumps from time to time, but this did not affect everyone's inner expectations at all.
During the climbing process, the scenery outside the car window was also quietly changing.
At first there were dense forests, but in this apocalyptic night of eternal darkness, these trees grew abnormally lush and flourishing.
This is all thanks to a group of wood-type mutants in the Jinling base, who carefully nurture this forest.
These trees are not just for aesthetics, but also an important part of the Jinling base's defense system.
Wood-type mutants use their abilities to cause the roots of trees to crisscross underground, weaving into tough "ground nets" that can effectively prevent enemy sneak attacks.
The thick trunks and lush branches and leaves act as natural barriers that can block some of the impact for the base when attacked.
Even some specially cultivated trees can release breath or slight offensive force to confuse the enemy, protecting the safety of the Jinling base.
As the altitude increases, the temperature seems to change slightly, and people in the car can feel a hint of cool air.
After more than an hour of difficult driving and climbing, the convoy finally reached the top of the mountain where the Jinling base is located.
When the tall, majestic and imposing city wall suddenly came into view, everyone felt their hearts suddenly shrink, as if they were hit hard by an overwhelming and huge surprise.
In an instant, all the fatigue and tension disappeared, and I could no longer suppress the excitement in my heart that was like a surging tide.
The chattering and exclamations of surprise one after another instantly exploded in the convoy, the sounds were full of cheers for finally arriving at the destination and infinite longing for the future.
The city wall is like a towering giant, so tall and majestic that it inspires awe.
Under the bright moonlight, the city wall sparkles with a unique metallic luster, as if every brick and stone contains a mysterious power, making it an indestructible fortress.
There are various advanced defense facilities on the city walls, and the watchtowers stand tall, like loyal guards, always watching every move around.
The catapults and crossbows were arranged neatly, and their cold metallic texture demonstrated the base's extremely powerful defensive capabilities, as if any enemy would be reduced to ashes under the attack of these powerful weapons if they dared to invade.
Every brick and stone of the city wall exudes heaviness and solidity. It is the crystallization of countless people's hard work and sweat. Every gap hides the stories of the base builders.
"Look! That's the Jinling base!"
A young man shouted excitedly, his eyes wide open as if he wanted to take in the scene before him, the excited tears in his eyes sparkled like broken diamonds under the cold moonlight.
He suddenly raised his arms high, his outstretched fingers pointing straight at the city wall, and his whole body leaned forward involuntarily.
He looked so impatient, as if he was about to dash towards the solid fortress that carried everyone's hopes like an arrow shot from a bow in the next second.
"We're finally here!" said an elderly man with emotion.
A gratified smile bloomed on his face, which seemed to be telling of the hardships and obstacles in the past, and also seemed to be depicting the beautiful vision for the future.
