#14 - Chapter 14 Two Days
Mutated Night.
The time is 11 PM.
Fortunately, after Little Zhang's mother mutated into a zombie, no one else mutated afterward.
This allowed everyone and Qin Jin to breathe a slight sigh of relief.
If more people continued to mutate, no one knew if they would be next.
Qin Jin was also worried about his relatives mutating.
Especially his seventy-year-old grandmother, who was the oldest person here.
Fortunately, she held on until after eleven o'clock.
No further anomalies occurred within the venue.
During this time, Qin Jin continued to work on the security team, which he envisioned as his future combat team, doing various ideological work.
He wanted them to adapt to this new era as quickly as possible.
"Little Zhou," who was originally tied to the pillar.
Became increasingly ferocious and crazy, with an overwhelming desire to rush over and tear everyone apart, an aura that even a boxing champion would fear.
Qin Jin knew this was due to the rising mist.
The mutated night was the starting point of the apocalypse.
Endless mist rose with it, causing a wide range of human mutations.
The extreme frenzy after mutating into zombies was also the reason for the terrifying human mortality rate.
Without the mist, the zombies' mobility and frenzy would be much weaker.
If the zombies' combat power in a normal state was 5, their combat power in the virus mist environment would increase to at least 15.
Or even more.
All the humans who survived in the previous life knew that when the mist rose.
Do not go out, hide.
Only by hiding well could you survive.
In the mist, the world belonged to the zombies.
Fortunately, the light purple mist did not appear for a long time.
It generally only lasted for a day or a few days, appearing several times a year at irregular intervals.
The survivors in the previous life called the time when the purple mist rose, the Corpse Mist Day.
Meaning that the sky at that time belonged to the zombies.
Qin Jin clearly remembered this mutated night.
The Corpse Mist Day would last for two full days and nights.
He absolutely could not go out during this time.
"Little Zhou," who had already become a zombie, struggled frantically, even the ropes cut into his flesh.
Seeing this situation, the security team surrounded him again.
Li Bowen communicated with Qin Jin, turned around and returned to "Little Zhou," picked up the machete, took a deep breath, and seemed to have made up his mind.
Under everyone's gaze, he slashed the machete horizontally at "Little Zhou's" neck!
Pfft—
Unsurprisingly, with Li Bowen having a certain foundation, and with preparation, "Little Zhou's" head was neatly chopped off!
This time there was no scene of blood spurting wildly, because "Little Zhou" had died after mutating into a zombie.
The heartbeat stopped, and the blood stopped flowing.
There would be no blood spurting when the head fell, but there would still be a lot of black blood slowly flowing out.
With the threat that had been present in the venue resolved, no one else dared to speak.
It could be said that the scene was completely under Qin Jin's control.
Regardless of what others thought, he felt that he should just do what he was supposed to do.
Time flowed slowly again.
It came to around twelve o'clock.
Qin Jin knew it was about time.
According to various theories from the previous life, before ten or eleven o'clock on the mutated night, those who were going to mutate had basically mutated.
The remaining survivors had antibodies in their bodies and would no longer mutate in the Corpse Mist Day.
He had deliberately asked people to stay in the venue for more than an hour.
He walked to the center of the venue.
He summoned everyone over.
Indicating that he had something to say to everyone.
"Everyone probably already knows the situation. An unknown virus has broken out outside, and many people have mutated into zombies and are attacking the survivors, including some here!"
"The immediate crisis has been resolved by us. Previously, we were worried about the danger outside the company's venue. Now it seems to be okay. I just checked the surveillance and our factory doors are locked, so there are no zombies. Now it's late, and staying here all the time is not a solution. Everyone can leave."
"I'm going to open the door and let everyone out of this venue. You can go back to your dormitories to rest and wait. I'll arrange the rest!"
"Of course, I won't stop anyone who wants to leave the company now. You can leave the company under our supervision if you're not afraid of the zombies outside."
"Also, let me say the ugly things first. This is my company, and it's also my hard work. I can give you a chance to stay here, but don't think about doing anything. Once I find out, you can imagine the consequences."
After speaking, he ignored everyone's reaction and walked towards the venue door.
He took out the key from his pocket.
He unlocked the door and pushed it open.
Whoosh—
A cool breeze blew in.
The October wind was already slightly chilly.
It also woke up the people inside.
One by one, with complex expressions, they moved to leave the venue.
No one told them what their future would be like.
Qin Jin, the only one who knew, wouldn't say much to them.
Unless it was his relatives, he could patiently comfort them.
The security team had already made arrangements. Someone had to stay up all night tonight.
People would be assigned to stare at the door and the surveillance cameras without blinking.
Those who returned to the dormitory also needed to be watched.
The entire factory area would be patrolled regularly to prevent anyone from mutating unexpectedly without anyone knowing.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Not to mention how chaotic it was outside, no one in Green Source Company could fall asleep.
Either they were shivering alone.
Or they were worried about their relatives and friends outside.
Or they were frantically making phone calls (many people had also called their relatives and friends outside in the venue before, but no one could get through; no one answered).
They went online to see if there was any improvement, or if any official organizations had teams suppressing and cleaning up the zombies.
Unfortunately, no official media came out to publish any news.
It seemed that all the media had disappeared, leaving only some people posting help information on various platforms online.
Making people more and more desperate as they read.
No good news appeared.
All kinds of disturbing information.
Help, searching for people, cursing, analysis, everything, but no one had seen a rescue team appear.
Regardless of what others did.
After everyone left, Qin Jin reassembled his relatives and friends. (His relatives and friends were arranged in another dormitory building that could see his house).
The base construction had considered a lot at the time. The dormitories for ordinary employees were built separately, and the dormitories for his relatives and friends were close to his own.
Then his house was even more special. Currently, only Qin's father and Qin's mother could enter.
He comforted his relatives and friends again, told them to pay attention to safety and rest well first, and he would arrange everything for everyone tomorrow.
The entire factory area calmed down again.
Except for the occasional security team members patrolling in twos and threes.
Qin Jin did not return to his house, but came to his fifth-floor office.
It was almost two o'clock.
He planned to take a nap here, as there were many things to arrange and deal with tomorrow morning.
This mutated night would last for two days, and he couldn't just sit and wait.
Although he couldn't go out, there were many preparations to be made.
——————
The next day.
Six thirty in the morning.
The sky had just begun to brighten.
The light purple mist between heaven and earth still remained the same.
There was no sign of thinning at all.
In the fifth floor of the office building of Green Source Factory.
Qin Jin had been awake for a while.
He had just finished a simple wash in the bathroom and felt refreshed.
Then he called Zhong Yu and asked him to notify Qin Jin's relatives, all security personnel except those who were required to be on duty, and several leaders of the company.
Before seven o'clock.
The people he named, except for some who maintained security in the factory, had all arrived at the conference room of the office building.
Fortunately, the conference room was large enough. It was no problem to squeeze in thirty or forty people.
At this time, everyone could see each other's panda eyes.
Obviously, no one could sleep peacefully after such a terrifying and subversive event.
Qin Jin went straight to the point and said to the crowd who had not rested well:
"I called everyone here today to assign tasks. Except for my relatives and friends, the others here are either people I personally interviewed and understood, or teammates who have fought together, so you are all people I trust!"
"Everyone knows what the situation is now. Compared to the zombies everywhere outside, it is not easy for us to have this safe environment in the factory. I hope everyone can maintain it well!"
"Although I have already arranged for the security team to patrol in three shifts, it is not enough to rely on them alone. I hope others can also contribute!"
As he spoke, he looked at his relatives and said to them:
"Dad, uncle, eldest uncle, uncle-in-law, A Zhe, I want you all to join the security team and be responsible for supervising and assisting in maintaining the safety of the factory."
"Mom, aunt (Qin Lu), Sister Dandan (cousin, Luo Dandan), Siling (cousin, Qin Siling), you are temporarily responsible for maintaining the order of the company's canteen food."
"There is still some food in the factory now, enough for us to eat for a while, but there will always be a day when it runs out, so we need to make rules."
"The daily consumption of fixed food must be followed by everyone, otherwise everyone will be finished. For those who let us finish, we can only send him/her out."
Everyone knew.
Going outside now was looking for death.
Qin Jin continued:
"The factory door can only be opened with my consent! Even if someone outside asks for help, or says that the rescue is coming, it cannot be opened!"
"Not to mention whether this person is infected or not, it is also possible that they are impersonating rescuers with bad intentions. Just one more mouth is one more person to eat, and everyone's rations are divided! So without my consent, you are absolutely not allowed to open the door!!"
This was establishing authority and declaring the right to speak in the base. As long as normal people could understand.
Qin Jin continued to arrange:
"Finally, we must continue to strengthen the power within the factory, enhance defense capabilities, eliminate all unstable factors, and create a place where we can survive."
"I hope everyone can work together!"
Next was his more detailed arrangement for each person.
Everyone thought that he had thought about the arrangement all night, but no one guessed that these arrangements had been drafted months ago.
As long as he held the food and weapons in his hands, others would not dare to mess around.
Most of the others who did not come were also relatives of the current security team members. Except for a small number of employees, the whole was basically his own people.
Everyone still trusted Qin Jin.
Mainly because he was originally the person with the highest status here, and his performance in the venue last night made everyone speechless.
Soon everyone dispersed and went to work.
In particular, several managers also needed to arrange for their original subordinates to let them all understand the current situation of the base.
The entire base quickly took action.
