Chapter 397 Getting More and More Showy
Because there was singing, the road seemed to hold a bit more joy.
The clear sky outside had birds flying by, the roadside trees were slightly greener, the grass on the ground had grown high, and in the distance flowed a river. Everything seemed to become more beautiful.
Of course, if one did not think about the mutation of the fauna and flora, did not consider the apocalypse, and furthermore, did not reflect on how the water sources outside were contaminated...
Now, the water their team drank was all deep well water brought from the base, and it was also treated.
The same went for their food — all of it was grown by themselves or provided by the base. In any case, they dared not accept any gifts from nature, after all, no one wanted to mutate.
Even though tests had proven that mutated plants did not affect the human body, if it wasn’t a matter of starvation, no one dared to try. Mutations were ongoing, after all, who knew what would happen next?
To lose human capabilities after the apocalypse was just not worth it, hence everyone naturally prioritized safe food.
Thinking about all this, there were few who could truly be happy. Actually, this was the time when one needed to maintain a tranquil mindset, not think about anything. But in such circumstances, how many could stop from pondering?
At night, they settled down in a small town with no inhabitants. The houses here were uninhabited due to prior disasters, leaving few suitable for dwelling.
However, they still had to choose such places to set up camp. It was not feasible for so many people to stay in vehicles, but camping outdoors was absolutely out of the question. So, they settled in places with houses, seeking out their own lodgings in groups of ten for safety.
