Having confird her guess was correct, Yun Xiaoxiao was in high spirits.
Since her training tasks for the day were already completed and she had nothing else to do, she enthusiastically organized a competition.
The participants were naturally all mbers of the guard team.
They were divided into two groups: the Superhuman group and the non-Superhuman group.
Each group had several awards, including the top three, a challenge award, and a progress award.
The top three in each group would receive corresponding rewards, with higher placents earning more.
The challenge award was for voluntarily challenging soone of a higher level, and whether they succeeded or failed, they would receive a reward—more if they succeeded, less if they failed.
The progress award was self-explanatory.
As long as soone improved, they would receive a reward.
Even moving up just one rank would earn them a corresponding prize.
Yun Xiaoxiao did this to motivate everyone.
At that mont, it was the factory's off-duty ti.
Hearing about the competition, no one was in a hurry to go ho. Instead, they all rushed over to watch.
The training ground was soon surrounded by a dense crowd.
"There's a competition! This is great, I’m so excited!"
"Exactly! Ever since the apocalypse, entertainnt has been scarce. Although our base is much better off than other places, we haven’t had such a lively event before. I used to love watching sports competitions!"
Because of Yun Xiaoxiao's instructions, every ti Lu Chen and the others went out, they would record the outside situation and play it on loop in the base.
So even though most people in the base hadn’t been outside, they could still clearly understand what the outside world was like.
The outdoor temperature was extrely low, but it couldn’t dampen the excitent of the crowd.
Fortunately, everyone was dressed warmly.
Although the chill could still be felt, it was within bearable limits.
Soon, the competition began.
Watching the thrilling and intense battles on the training ground, the crowd erupted in cheers one mont and gasps the next.
Everyone was captivated by the tense atmosphere on the field.
Just as the competition ended and the awards ceremony was about to begin, Yun Xiaoxiao suddenly frowned.
[Ding! Danger alert!]
[The base is about to be attacked by an air raid. Air defense activated!]
The chanical voice of Little Enemy abruptly sounded.
Yun Xiaoxiao imdiately went on high alert.
While everyone was still imrsed in the excitent of the competition, she suddenly looked up at the sky.
She had been about to award the winners with evolution fluid and fruits, but her sudden pause caught everyone’s attention.
Ye Shuyuan and the others followed her gaze and also looked up.
Seeing this, the rest of the crowd gradually raised their heads as well.
Confusion filled their eyes.
What’s going on?
Why is everyone looking at the sky?
Is there sothing wrong up there?
"There are a lot of flying insects heading toward the base!"
At that mont, a shocked voice rang out.
The speaker was Liu Xiaohui.
She had the ability of X-ray vision.
She had always been working on weapons research in the base.
A typical hobody.
Today, she had been dragged out by Yang Xue and the others to get so fresh air because of the competition.
Now, she stood with Yang Xue, Han Bing, and Chong Ming, pointing in horror toward the northwest direction of the base.
Her words imdiately caused a stir in the crowd.
"What? Flying insects? And a lot of them?!"
"Oh no! Is that true?"
"This is bad! What if those insects get into the base?"
Panic spread through the crowd as Liu Xiaohui’s words struck fear into everyone.
In just a few monts, a swarm of flying insects had already reached the sky above the base.
Then, more and more followed.
Dense and nurous, they ford a black net that almost blotted out the sky.
Everyone gasped in shock.
This was terrifying!
Many people’s legs began to weaken.
Suddenly, a large group of mutated flying insects at the center of the swarm dove rapidly toward the training ground.
"Ah! Run!"
Soone couldn’t help but scream.
The crowd began to scatter in chaos.
Many people rushed toward the nearest buildings.
anwhile, the guard team mbers stood firm, ready to fight.
A few seconds later, the expected swarm of insects didn’t descend. Instead, a series of ‘zapping’ sounds echoed above their heads.
"Look up!"
Soone shouted.
The others, puzzled, also looked up.
They saw that the flying insects, which had been about to attack, were blocked by sothing invisible.
Not only were they blocked, but they also seed to be attacked by so mysterious energy.
The bodies of the insects recoiled as if hit by bullets, then lost their lives and began to fall.
However, they didn’t fall into the base.
Instead, they slid down strangely, as if there was an invisible barrier above the base.
The dead insects eventually fell outside the base’s walls.
Witnessing this, everyone except Yun Xiaoxiao was stunned, their mouths agape.
This phenonon was beyond belief.
It was... surreal!
"I feel like I’m hallucinating..."
"Don’t doubt yourself, you’re fine. I feel the sa way."
"What kind of magical place is our base?"
"I don’t know, but I feel incredibly lucky!"
"Sa here!"
" too!"
"Count in!"
With the danger averted, everyone’s tense nerves relaxed.
Watching the insects being repelled and falling from the sky, the crowd couldn’t help but express their amazent.
It felt like watching a sci-fi blockbuster in real life.
Eventually, many of the insects died, while others, seeing the fate of their companions, fled in fear.
The base’s danger alert was completely lifted.
Yun Xiaoxiao finally felt a weight lifted off her chest.
Although she knew the base had air defense, she wasn’t sure if it would work.
When she saw the dense swarm of insects approaching, she had been worried.
But now, that worry was gone.
This defense system was impressive!
Yun Xiaoxiao assigned a team to follow her and clean up the insect corpses.
Looking at the ground littered with mutated insects, Yun Xiaoxiao smiled faintly.
She instructed her team to collect a portion of them.
"Gather these insects and take them back. We’ll roast and eat them."
The others: !!!
Are these things even edible?
Has the little base leader gone mad from hunger?
That can’t be, there’s plenty of good food in the base.
Does she really lack food?
Seeing their expressions, Yun Xiaoxiao chuckled.
"Don’t underestimate these insects. They’re highly nutritious. Eating them will only do you good, no harm."
The ones she selected were all mutated flying insects, and they were edible.
She had eaten plenty of them in her past life.
Anything mutated—whether plants, animals, or insects—was a great supplent for humans.
Now that these things had co to them on their own, it would be a waste not to eat them.
