#138 - Chapter 138 Ambush
In a small town not far from the Green Source Base.
Zhang Tiankai's team, driving a vehicle that had undergone noise reduction treatment, could clearly feel that the sound of the car had been reduced significantly.
If the heavy trucks used to rumble loudly, now the sound was almost like that of an ordinary fuel-powered car.
Coming out for a real-world driving test was different from testing in the base; now it was closer to reality.
They had been driving for a while now and hadn't attracted a single zombie.
If it had been like before, they would have already run over several zombies attracted by the noise.
It was evident that the effect was indeed good.
Zhang Tiankai looked at the search list that the boss had given him yesterday and decided to visit the electronic market in this town.
Because they were delayed at the base in the morning, it was almost nine o'clock now.
The town's electronic market wasn't far from his current location, only a few kilometers away, just around two streets.
Driving the modified vehicle, they easily reached their destination.
This town's electronic market wasn't large, lined up on both sides of a certain street.
There were about ten stores in total.
Places like electronic markets, although there were some humans inside when the incident happened, most of them either mutated or ran away later, and wouldn't stay here.
Moreover, because there was almost no food here, very few survivors came to this area.
So, the things inside could be said to be among the most completely preserved.
There was no need to even arrange for team members to launch drones to lure monsters; they could directly get out of the car and proceed to the next step.
When Zhang Tiankai and his team arrived, they parked the car outside the street where these electronic parts shops were located, adjusted the direction of the car, opened the rear compartment, and then the team members carefully got out of the car to observe the surroundings and move around.
One person was left to guard the car.
The other team members went out in groups of two to search for supplies in the nearby shops.
Half an hour passed.
During this time, they also encountered two zombies hiding in the shops, which were easily dealt with using silenced weapons.
No danger or surprises.
The backs of the two heavy trucks that came were already filled with various electronic products they found.
Motors, engines, generators, mobile phones, tablets, game consoles, various electric lights, and so on.
Common or uncommon equipment on the market was being moved onto the trucks.
After the two trucks were filled, they prepared to return to the base to unload the goods and then come out again.
It wasn't that they couldn't find vehicles that could be started outside, but most of them were corroded by acid rain and looked dilapidated.
Some might stop working while driving, and they were no longer interested in finding other vehicles.
In the Green Source Base, and in the surrounding factories, there were various retrieved vehicles parked, estimated to be several hundred, nearly a thousand.
And they were all covered with tarpaulins or parked under buildings.
If needed, they could go back and choose one.
The main purpose of this trip was to pass the time and test the condition of the modified vehicle, and it would be nice to obtain some supplies along the way.
After packing up, Zhang Tiankai returned to the driver's seat, communicated with the team members, and started the off-road vehicle to lead the way towards the base.
Zhang Tiankai was in a good mood.
His parents were both in the base.
His father and mother used to be small fruit vendors.
His parents originally didn't want to come to the celebration banquet of the night of mutations.
But at the strong urging of the boss, he still listened to the boss and brought his parents over.
As a result.
He was filled with mixed feelings after the apocalypse.
If he hadn't brought his parents in at that time, he might have regretted it for the rest of his life.
Now his parents helped repair the walls in the base every day, or did some other work, although it was a bit tiring, it was safe and stable.
The two elders also treated it as exercise.
As the captain of the combat team, he often received some benefits from the base, which he could also give to his parents.
For example, recently his contribution points were quite high, so he exchanged them for a new residence for his parents.
A two-bedroom apartment.
It was bigger and more spacious inside, and the electricity and water allowance was not low, and there was even a fixed amount of hot water supply at night.
His parents were now very satisfied with life in the base.
And they were willing to work hard to contribute to the base.
He, as their son, was even their pride.
Most importantly.
President Qin had privately told several of their team leaders.
If one day they were unfortunately sacrificed, their families would continue to maintain their original treatment, and even because of their contributions, they would receive double the care.
As long as the Green Source Base existed for a day.
This promise would always be valid.
Several team leaders could also testify to each other with the boss.
This was also why they worked so hard.
They all knew that this was President Qin's obvious bait.
But they were willing to eat it.
And eat it happily.
President Qin also said that each of them had a quota to choose a partner in the future.
Whether they chose someone in the base, or fancied other survivors outside, they could be absorbed into the base, and President Qin would check for them and give them blessings.
They could even have children.
The base had all the relevant materials for raising children, so there was no need to worry at all.
President Qin had also hinted to them about plans for fertility and medical care later on.
As long as they served the base well, their treatment would not be bad in the future.
This was the biggest confidence they had in working for the boss.
In this world.
They could have the company of their relatives, and might have a wife and children in the future, and a boss who appreciated them.
Very good.
Although the other team members had fewer promises from the boss, they basically had relatives in the base, and their hearts had an anchor to rely on.
They were even more decisive and ruthless in their work.
Anyone who dared to destroy their lives was an enemy!
Otherwise, how could they let these dozens of people wholeheartedly work for Green Source?
Because President Qin's bait was really very tempting!
And they really ate it!
Everyone had become a community of interests.
Only when the base was stronger could they live longer and more safely!
They highly recognized President Qin as their leader!
With President Qin pointing the way forward for everyone, they only needed to charge bravely!
The car was driving on the way back.
Zhang Tiankai liked to sit in the passenger seat like President Qin, so he could look at the scenery outside and daydream.
His thoughts wandered, and for a moment he didn't know where he had drifted to.
"Bang!"
Suddenly!
A loud noise rang in his ears!
The car also began to sway!
The team member next to him quickly stepped on the brakes, and fortunately, because the speed had always been maintained at around 70 yards, he finally managed to regain control of the direction and slowly stopped the car.
Zhang Tiankai, who was still in shock, looked at the team member next to him, and saw that he had the same expression.
"Captain, it seems like we have a flat tire!"
The team member looked at the instrument panel, and the obvious sinking feeling in the front left, and said to Zhang Tiankai.
Flat tire?
Zhang Tiankai reacted, his off-road vehicle was indeed not using explosion-proof tires, could it be that he was unlucky and it just broke?
He looked around the car, and didn't see anything unusual.
He couldn't figure it out.
But he didn't want to delay here for too long, there was a spare tire hanging on the back of the car, he picked up the walkie-talkie, and said in the channel:
"Our car seems to have a flat tire, the car behind is responsible for guarding, we'll go down and change the tire, help us see if there are any zombies attracted by the sound just now!"
After speaking, he took the team member in the driver's seat and quickly got out of the car, preparing to quickly change the tire and leave.
Getting out of the car, he indeed saw the flat left front wheel.
Just as he walked to the back of the car, preparing to take the spare tire and tools over to replace it.
"Bang!"
A familiar loud noise came from his ear!
It was the sound of a gun!
And it was coming from a distance!
