Chapter 490 - 249 NPC_2
While tuning the radio, Doomsday Fortress found a player channel. They learned that this base, known as Angel’s Alliance, was located in the suburbs of North City, in an unnamed small town 12 kilometers from Doomsday Fortress.
The name "Alliance" suggested that the other party was not a common base. They came from a small town in Fantasy City. Before the event, they had rallied players who wanted to stay in Hardcore Mode and collectively moved to the small town through base relocation. Currently, their town has 24 player households, with a total of 108 people. There were not too many rules, and they operated in a tribal, mutual-assistance way. Since many members had Fishing Skills, their long-term food source would come from North City River.
Angel’s Alliance welcomed Doomsday Fortress to trade in their town. But it was difficult for them to come to Doomsday Fortress. Although the straight-line distance was only 12 kilometers, the road distance was 25 kilometers, and the hardest section was a two-kilometer tunnel near their town. The tunnel was the scene of a major car accident. However, the difficulty of driving was just one of the challenges.
There were sentry cards at the tunnel exit, and just like the ones in North Town, hundreds of soldiers had once been stationed there to block the road. As a result, not only was the zombie density extremely high, but they were also hard-skinned zombies, which were very tough to deal with.
Angel’s Alliance had quite a few vehicles, but gasoline was scarce, and daily transportation relied on walking, so it was only possible for Doomsday Fortress to conduct commercial trade at Angel’s Alliance.
Using the channel provided by Angel’s Alliance, Maya added channels from a dozen or so bases in the small town, and from then on, she listened to the communications between their bases. After monitoring overnight, Maya confirmed that what Angel’s Alliance had said was the truth.

At eight o’clock in the evening, Dashuang sought out Maya, Maya found Lin Wu, Lin Wu found Peanut, and the two boys then went to Lin Wu’s dormitory to play cards. Meanwhile, the three girls took advantage of the night to go swimming in Left County River, and also to take a bath.
