#129 - Chapter 129 Return Home
The middle-aged man wasn't lying.
They were indeed from the Yangcheng Shelter.
His name was Xiao Ming.
He used to be a criminal police officer. After the apocalypse broke out, he managed to find some official personnel from Yangcheng to establish a shelter. Relying on his abilities, he quickly made a name for himself after joining.
Their shelter gradually became the land of hope in the eyes of Yangcheng survivors.
Before the network was about to disappear in the early days of the disaster, someone had sent a message, coupled with word of mouth, which led to many survivors coming to their door.
So far, their shelter has more than 20,000 people!
The veritable number one shelter in Yangcheng!
In the early days of the apocalypse, they also found a school (the apocalypse broke out at night, and many primary and junior high schools were out of school and there were not many people). After cleaning it up, they slowly developed and attracted survivors to join.
Now the walls have been increased to 9 meters!
Zombies can't climb up at night.
Merely.
It sounds very powerful.
But only the high-level members of the shelter know what this number means.
Most of these people are not labor force, only burden!
Those refugees who come in are almost unwilling to help with anything, and all they think about all day long is what the shelter's food will be today, what the material search team has found, and when the end of the world will end and restore their original lives.
Only a few of them who joined are willing to work.
Less than a thousand people!
The ratio is less than one-twentieth.
Twenty thousand mouths, the amount of food consumed every meal is huge.
Even if they try their best to find food, they still can't satisfy their appetites.
After more than a month of baptism in the apocalypse, their food is not as abundant as before.
It has been reduced from three meals a day to two meals a day.
And from rice to thick porridge.
No matter how much the survivors complain, this is an unavoidable fact.
The food outside is decreasing day by day.
The entire Yangcheng is not the only shelter, other groups are also searching for supplies and food, and they will not consider your identity and give it to you.
Whoever grabs it gets it.
They don't know when their Yangcheng shelter was called this name, perhaps because of the large number of people.
Unlike some other nameless survivor groups, or those named after companies or leaders.
Their shelter has seven teams that go out to search for supplies every day, and Xiao Ming and his team are the third team.
Because it is not easy to find food in Yangcheng, he took the team to try their luck near Zhushi, to see if there would be fewer people here and it would be easier to find more food and supplies.
As a result, they ran into the returning Green Source Combat Team on the highway.
This group of people even removed the license plates of their cars!
They didn't know where they were from.
Xiao Ming didn't believe Qin Jin's claim that they were from nearby.
They had never heard of any nearby forces possessing such terrifying strength!
They knew more or less about the larger forces in Yangcheng, and they also had some vague understanding of the surrounding cities.
But they had never heard of such a group of fierce people anywhere.
Let the high-level members of the shelter have a headache after reporting back.
They sighed for a while, and no longer stayed here.
Their mission has not been completed, and they have to return to the shelter before dark.
Hopefully they can find more things to bring back today.
After reorganizing the team, Xiao Ming once again led his team on the road to find supplies.
Another direction.
The Green Source convoy continued to speed along the highway.
Seeing that no one was following behind, the team members breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although they were not afraid, they didn't want to kill people upon meeting.
They only kill those who endanger their own and the base's safety.
The combat team occasionally encounters survivors outside and does not attack randomly. Most of them pass by silently, and only when they are provoked by ignorant people will they use thunderous means to solve the problem.
Qin Jin sat in the co-pilot seat, thinking slightly about the Yangcheng shelter.
If nothing else, in the next corpse fog day not long after, there will be a disaster of destruction there.
The corpse fog day is like a mutated night, with purple mist emerging from the ground, and all zombies will become extremely violent and their strength will be terrifyingly enhanced.
In the apocalypse, the more people there are, the more useful it is not.
More people means a "stronger meat smell".
The more zombies attracted.
The greater the price to pay for defense.
Based on the information Qin Jin knew in his previous life.
Twenty people is a level, then one hundred people is a level, and then five hundred people is a level.
The higher the level.
The more terrifying the zombie impact on the opposite side of the corpse fog day!
The violent zombies' sense of smell is greatly increased, and they will be stimulated to madness by the strong "meat smell"!
This is why many large groups were completely destroyed on the night of the mutation.
Even if they survived the initial mutation, they were torn to pieces by the crazy zombies that night.
Perhaps the number of levels is not very accurate, but the difference in quantity will not be too great.
In his previous life, he had never heard of any shelters that could survive before his rebirth that dared to break through 500 people.
Most of them are small bases with dozens of people.
Only a small number of powerful shelters dare to support hundreds of people.
The largest shelter he had visited in the later period of his previous life only dared to maintain more than 300 people.
With the zombie density in Yangcheng, as well as the number of people in that shelter and the height of the walls.
Qin Jin knew with his toes that they would definitely not survive the next corpse fog day after the night of the mutation!
More than a million violent zombies will surely overwhelm them!
As for how many people can survive in this shelter?
That's not something he can guess.
Anyway, in his heart, these people are about equal to half dead.
If you ask why Qin Jin didn't tell them these things just now?
He would have to be crazy to say it.
No one would definitely believe it if he said it, only they will know it after they experience it themselves.
Withdrawing his thoughts.
He continued to look at the road ahead to prevent strangers from appearing again. There are still many survivors in the early days of the apocalypse, and they will occasionally be encountered, unlike later when they may not encounter a living person for several days.
He also began to think about the things that would happen in the future and prepare a plan to deal with them.
Cold wave, corpse fog day, parasitic insect plague, drought, geomagnetic changes.......
Humanity is really unfortunate.
He can't help the people outside, he plans to take care of his own base.
The convoy continued to maintain its speed and soon arrived at the scheduled service area. After resting and eating lunch, everyone continued on their way home.
They must rush back before dark today.
————————————————
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Green Source Base.
In front of the gate.
At this time, after a day of hard work, the zombies that had been lured over for training had long been cleaned up.
Under the scouring of a few short days, the blood stains left by the survivors who wanted to come in have also completely disappeared.
At this time.
A lot of two-meter-high steel pillars have been erected around the Green Source base. The steel pillars have through holes at a certain height, and a long rope passes through them.
Successively, there will be gaps in some places, but overall it almost surrounds the entire base!
This is the barrier circle that Li Xu mentioned before.
After a day of hard work, it has been completed.
Zhang Dong, a defending team member on duty on the gate wall, looked at the new defense set up outside the base and couldn't help but let out a satisfied sigh:
"Our base has become stronger again! Life is really hopeful."
After speaking, the walkie-talkie on his waist suddenly rang!
After quickly connecting, a voice came from inside:
"I'm Qin Jin, prepare to open the door!"
