From that moment, her fate had already become completely different. Even if the Market Base resembled the one in her past life, it was no longer the place that caused her so much pain.
With a confident smile, Fang Yuxin firmly grasped Bai Ye’s hand, and the three of them disguised themselves as superpower users from other regions, infiltrating the Market Base. Although the Market Base had developed into a medium-sized base, it still couldn’t compare to the Beishi Base. The Beishi Base had Zhao Qiankun as an anomaly, who had produced many devices surpassing current technology through his research institute, leading to rapid development.
However, upon entering the Market Base, the three felt a faint sense of decline. Although this base now had blood test strips, it lacked communicators and instruments to detect superpowers. The streets were lined with various shops, but due to the shortage of grain in the base, these shops were hardly visited.
Furthermore, the base housed a large number of Ordinary People, occasionally seen on the streets, all looking sickly and malnourished, clearly from prolonged hunger. Superpower users were slightly better off but still did not live well.
Fang Yuxin deliberately released her Spiritual Sense, exploring the farms within the base. Upon examination, she discovered that the farms were well protected, with greenhouses and Wood Element Superpower Users overseeing crop growth. If any crops showed poor growth, superpowers were used to stimulate them.
Clearly, the people in the base were doing their utmost to cultivate grain, not without effort. Unfortunately, the population was too large, while arable land was scarce. Even Wood Element Superpower Users couldn’t continuously use their powers to ripen grains. If this continued, the base might face chaos before anyone starved.
Yet, given the dire situation, judging Qiu Yiming’s decision to leave the Market Base for Beishi Base was complicated. He led away a large number of superpower users, weakening the base’s defensive power, but it also reduced the number of mouths to feed, somewhat alleviating the base’s burden.
After touring the base, unable to find accommodation due to harsh conditions even worse than Beishi Base, they found Fang Family’s villa unoccupied, protected by a Formation that no one could breach.
Recalling the grain in the warehouse, Fang Yuxin set a small Barrier and said to Fang Yuyang and Bai Ye, "I still have quite a bit of grain, and I plan to sell it to them. What do you think?"
This grain was collected from the warehouse of the Food Trading City, and she held a considerable amount. Despite joining the Hope Battle Group and managing logistics, she hadn’t shared much of it, not out of stinginess, but because at first, everyone was wary, and showing too much generosity might have led others to take advantage of them.
