Chapter 655: Chapter 654: Staying in Treyton’s mansion 5

Unfortunately, even though they had talked about it several times, they still hadn’t moved away because the survivor bases that they had heard from the people that they had met before weren’t that good.

Their freedom would just apparently be restricted and they couldn’t act as freely as they were doing, and most of the time the lives of ordinary people in those bases weren’t as good or were just as good as how they were currently living.

The advantage wasn’t too big at all, so even though they had talked about it many times, they still hadn’t moved to those small bases.

Of course, just like in the north where the most sought-after was the north base, in the south it would be the south base.

They’re both major military bases of the country before, so a lot of people certainly had more faith in those bases compared to other gathering places, and in their minds, it’s also certainly much safer than other areas.

Those bases would certainly be more attractive to ordinary people, knowing that they probably still have soldiers and other people that could protect them.

As for ability users, it’s certainly also very attractive to them; however, those with superpowers or equivalent strength have more choices, and some of them would be leaders of their small bases on their own, believing that they were strong enough to establish and protect others, or just because of their greed.

Others would certainly also be swayed by the offers of smaller bases, especially when they have more benefits and experience more of their power because they are ability users.

Those with superpowers have more choices than ordinary people, and most of them could really pick their choices—unlike ordinary people who indeed have ideal places that they wanted to go to, but couldn’t because they lack the strength to do so.

Ferman’s wife and son were obviously people who were included in that category together with the other people living in the mansion. They were all longing to go to a better place, but they couldn’t because the distance—which was already considered to be very accessible according to Luciel’s standard—was still very hard for them to travel because of its danger.

They’re still going out to collect supplies, and they’re also scheduled to go out again because their supplies were already running out. But aside from that, they’re also always on the lookout for places that they could go; unfortunately, they still hadn’t decided where they could go as they couldn’t go to the south base with their own strength.

They continued talking, as Nathan and Camille were also asking about the whole situation in the south, like their weather and of course about the type of people that they had seen before.

Just as they thought, weather in the south base was really better compared to the north when it comes to the long winter that they had experienced, because even though the snow had also accumulated, it isn’t that high like the north where they were.

Of course, there’s also a downside, because the weather in their area was obviously hotter compared to the north, so when it comes to the extreme hot weather, they’re suffering more of it.

According to them, one of their previous neighbors even died because of heatstroke.

And when it’s rainy, the wind and rain that they were experiencing were also very strong and oftentimes resulted in flooding in lower areas; thankfully, they were in a higher area, so they weren’t affected by any floods at all.

As for the type of people they had seen, they’re just like what he and the others had seen while traveling.

The people in the mansion would always steer clear away from those that they felt were very dangerous, so they hadn’t been harmed and were only in contact and tried contacting those ordinary people just like themselves to exchange information.

Because of that, they at least knew that the south base existed, and a lot of small survivor bases were also in different areas.

And unlike the north base, it seems that the south base doesn’t have too many soldiers because, according to them, there are indeed soldiers roaming around to rescue people, but their number isn’t great, so the rescue mission didn’t progress fast.

The people in the mansion also knew about the rescue mission of the soldiers from the south base, and were actually hoping that they would come to their area, but they hadn’t managed to see any soldiers coming to their area yet.

From their description, it seems that the south base didn’t manage to organize their base as quickly as the north base, so they suffered more casualties at the very beginning and only afterwards did they begin their rescue effort, which was still ongoing until now.

Well, it’s also the same with the north base, as there are still soldiers that were going out to help survivors while collecting supplies, as they had finished their rescue missions a few months ago.

Of course, aside from that, helping survivors to get to the north base is always an open mission to everyone in the north base, so if they had managed to help others get to the north base, they would always receive some reward from the base.

Camille also asked about it—if there were teams like that in the south base—but it seems that Ferman’s mother and son didn’t know much about it and weren’t sure if there were any.

But after thinking for a while, Ferman’s son said that they had probably encountered such a team before, but they were too afraid to show themselves because the team looked very strong and ferocious.

So, just according to their description, they probably encountered some of those teams that also had such missions; but because they weren’t aware, and because they were very cautious and didn’t approach those stronger teams, they were still stuck in Treyton’s mansion and weren’t brought to the south base that they longed for.
