Chapter 145 Relatives

Li Tianhai pointed at Dengshi on the map, and then slowly moved to the side of the only road connecting it to the adjacent Fengtian City.

He said solemnly, "According to the intelligence we have so far, this group of zombies should have just left Deng City. This morning, I have sent someone to the area to investigate the situation and try to take some measures to see if they can effectively change the direction of the zombies."

"At this stage, we cannot be sure whether this wave of zombies is heading straight for our base. Perhaps they are just trying to march into Fengtian City and gather with other zombies in the city center to increase their own strength."

"But no matter what its real purpose is, it seems to have a negative impact on the base, because it is quite close to the city of Fengtian!"

Chen Bufan continued what Li Tianhai said.

Li Tianhai nodded slightly, and then he looked at Chen Bufan, as if he noticed that the other party was hesitant to speak, so he asked curiously: "Brother Chen, it seems to me that you know something about this group of corpses?"

Facing Li Tianhai's questioning, Chen Bufan hesitated for a moment, then nodded his head several times and frankly admitted, "Indeed, in fact... I am the one who escaped from the Lantern City. About a month ago, this sudden wave of zombies surrounded the entire Lantern City without any warning. If I didn't have a sophisticated weapon at the time, I might not have been able to escape successfully."

"They chose a bad weather, with heavy rain, dark clouds, and a dark sky, making it almost impossible to see the surrounding environment. At this time, the zombie tide quietly surrounded the Lantern City under the cover of lightning and thunder."

"Therefore, I speculate that there must be a powerful zombie king behind this who is controlling the entire zombie horde."

"As long as we can find and destroy it, these mindless walking dead will regain their freedom and will no longer be under its control. They will not approach this side with such a clear purpose as they are now."

"It's easy to deal with."

Li Tianhai's face became more gloomy. He frowned and said, "There is actually a zombie king that can control other zombies? Could it be that there is also a mutation? I have only encountered zombies that move quickly and are huge in size."

Chen Bufan spread his hands helplessly, saying that he was just guessing, but based on the current situation, this possibility was very high.

He suggested to Li Tianhai: "Base Commander, I think it would be best to dig a passage inside the base that leads to the outside world. If even the wall can't stop the tide of zombies in the end, at least this tunnel can be used to quickly evacuate personnel."

Li Tianhai nodded and said, "I will immediately send people to gather the survivors to find a place and dig a passage."

"This is the best way. There is no safe place in this world right now. There are zombies everywhere. There are tens of thousands of people in the base. It is impossible to move them. There is not enough food. I am afraid that many people will starve to death before they go far."

Chen Bufan suddenly remembered something, and he said to the base commander: "Base commander, do you have any drones here? I want to borrow one, because we urgently need to find the trace of the corpse king."

Li Tianhai turned around and looked at Wang Dahai, and asked, "Is there any?"

Wang Dahai nodded and replied, "Yes, this is all thanks to you, Captain Chen! You led the team to almost clear out all the zombies in the suburbs, so we were able to find so many drones in a technology company over there. I'll go get some for you right away."

"Great! I went to that place to look for the drone before, but found nothing. It turns out you took it first."

Chen Bufan looked up at Wang Dahai and felt that he looked familiar. He couldn't help but ask curiously, "Adjutant Wang, where are you from?"

Wang Dahai looked at Chen Bufan with some doubt, and then replied: "I am a native of Fengtian."

Chen Bufan then asked, "Do you have any relatives in Dengshi?"

Hearing this question, Wang Dahai looked a little helpless. He said slowly, "I do have a relative there, but I haven't been in touch with him for a long time since the apocalypse. My uncle works in the Lantern City."

Chen Bufan's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked anxiously, "Could it be Wang Shuqing?"

Wang Dahai was immediately filled with surprise, and asked in a trembling voice, "You actually know my uncle?"

Chen Bufan smiled and nodded, "I just think you look familiar. Your uncle is in my base, and his daughter is my brother-in-law's wife, her younger brother."

Then he pointed at Li Wenyin again.

Li Tianhai smiled and said, "Okay, okay, you are relatives, hahahaha, we are all family. Brother Chen, you guys take a rest here first. I will go and arrange the passage. According to the speed of the zombies, it will take another two days to get here. You guys can do whatever you want."

"Dahai, please entertain your relatives well."

Li Tianhai went out to work on the passage. Although it was not a passage that could be dug in a short time, he still had to try his best. There were tens of thousands of people in the base, and they couldn't become tens of thousands of turtles and be caught.

Wang Dahai was a little embarrassed to suddenly have a relative, but when he remembered something, he asked excitedly, "My uncle is the mayor of Deng City. If he can come to manage this base, it will definitely develop better. Can my uncle come over?"

Chen Bufan glanced at Li Wenyin and said, "Your uncle is here to manage the base. What should the base commander do?"

Wang Dahai pulled out a stool and sat down, saying nonchalantly, "Hey! Uncle Tianhai has long wanted to stop being the base commander. We are a bunch of soldiers, so let us go out to find supplies and fight zombies. This is what we should do."

"For the past two months, Uncle Tianhai has been almost driven crazy! He used to hold a spear and fight on the battlefield, but now he has to pick up a pen to write. He said that his rough hands can't even hold the pen steadily, hahahaha..."

"If Uncle Tianhai hadn't been a soldier and cared about the common people, he wouldn't have built this base! For him, this is completely forcing him to do something he can't do! If my uncle could come to help, Uncle Tianhai would probably be grinning from ear to ear. He has wanted to be free for a long time, but there has never been a suitable person."

Thinking of this, Wang Dahai became more and more excited, as if he was about to be free.

Chen Bufan and Li Wenyin smiled at each other, then said, "I'll send him a message when I get back. If he's willing, we'll take him over."

"Okay! Let's do this for now. I have to go get the drone." After saying that, Wang Dahai turned around and left impatiently.
