Chapter 294
After listening, Hayley repredlazily, “Where?”
“Alex wants to go to your base.
“No.” Hayley rejected it outright.
Her base was not open to visitors.
Liam thought for a moment. “My base is too far away. A lot of smaller bases wouldn’t be able to make it. What about Alex’s base?

“He’s not worthy.”
Hayley was consistent. She wouldn’t let others into her base, and she also wouldn’t go to anyone else’s.

Liam thought for a while before suggesting, “Then how about Malcolm and Scarlett’s Ember Base?”
“Sure.”
Holding a large-scale meeting during the apocalypse was extremely difficult.
Leaving aside the danger and effort it took for bases both big and small to travel long distances and survive the journey, just getting people to show up was enough to scare off most smaller bases. That kind of pull wasn’t easy to achieve.
At least in Hayley’s previous life, she had never heard of such a massive multi-base conference.
Every base guarded its own small patch of land, struggling just to survive. At most, nearby bases might form small regional
alliances.
This large-scale gathering organized by Alex was unprecedented,
But it was obvious that it wasn’t Alex’s influence that made it happen. Everyone wanted to see the legendary Haylight League.
Three days later, at Ember Base.
Cars entered the Ember Base area one after another.
Ember Base was located in a large village behind Hayley’s residential area, already within the Brookville zone.
“Ember Base is impressive. They can support this many elderly people!”
“Look at this. They don’t just have grain. Every household even has bacon!”
“And dried goods!”
“They all look healthy. Life here is really good!”
Teams from other bases were completely stunned by the condition of Ember Base’s residents.
Nearly 70% of Ember Base’s population was elderly.

Even though Ember Base had originally grown out of a rural village, seeing so many older people with limited labor capacity still shocked everyone.
In their own bases, even healthy young people struggled to survive. The weak and sick were eliminated wave after wave. Being able to support this many elderly people was almost unimaginable.
“Ember Base used to be rural. They must’ve had a lot of stored food.”
Duval areas usually have plenty of supplies. And they know how to farm. Even during a drought, they can still grow

crops.
“And I heard Ember Base joined the raid on the granary before. They must’ve gotten a huge share of food!”
“You’re all wrong. ” As they talked, a sharp-looking girl with short hair stepped forward, “It’s because Ember Base joined the Haylight League.”
