#218 - Chapter 218: One Hundred Thousand Zombies! Hard Fight!
"What's going on!? Why are we suddenly stopping work?"
Ah Zhen, from Li Shenglin's team working at the branch base, questioned the Green Source management personnel when they came to announce the work stoppage and ordered them to gather elsewhere.
The person making the announcement ignored her and continued to urge the other survivors to quickly stop what they were doing and gather at the main entrance of the Green Source main base.
"Don't worry about it too much! Let's follow the Green Source people. I heard earlier that some zombies are coming, and I have a bad feeling about this!"
Li Shenglin said with a frown.
His character was to act sooner rather than later, which had helped him avoid many dangers in the past.
The other team members didn't waste any words, put down their tools, and quickly moved to the Green Source main gate.
Nearly a hundred people had already gathered there, buzzing and whispering, unaware of what was happening.
"Everyone, quiet down! A lot of zombies have suddenly appeared outside! We'll have everyone go to the isolation area of the Green Source main base to hide for a while, and we'll let you out to work after we've dealt with them! Lunch will still be provided as usual!"
Wang Yang, after receiving the leader's order, was currently using a loudspeaker to guide the crowd.
Hearing this, the survivors building the branch base had no objections.
So, they were just going in to hide from the zombies.
That was fine, they could take the opportunity to rest for a while.
As long as the food wasn't cut back, they had no objections.
Soon, nearly three hundred people successively entered the isolation area of the Green Source main base. Most of them, except for a few, were entering here for the first time and were curiously observing everything.
"Is the Green Source base this simple? Why don't I see many people?"
"What do you know? This definitely isn't the real Green Source base! They must be somewhere else! This is just a temporary place to accommodate us."
The survivors sat on the floor in the isolation area, chatting boredly.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
A huge roaring sound rang out from the wall on one side of them!
"It's the sound of a helicopter! Green Source is deploying helicopters!"
Many of the survivors clamored.
Three small helicopters flew over their heads and quickly disappeared outside the wall with a roar.
At this time, everyone knew that things were not simple.
*****
Time returned to ten minutes earlier.
A few minutes before Wang Yang received the call.
Inside the leader's office.
Qin Jin frowned, staring at the bright sunshine outside the window, his heart not at peace.
Today, besides the four combat teams who went to two resource points respectively, the remaining dozen original combat members and some security members were assisting in base management and patrolling near Mentang Town.
As a result, he had just received news from these members operating outside that a large number of zombies were gathering towards Mentang Town!
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation!
It was daytime!
Logically, zombies should stay in the shadows indoors.
Unless...
Something was attracting these zombies to abandon hiding and choose to come out!
Such as flesh, sounds, fog...
He pondered for a while and finally locked in a conclusion.
Flesh and sounds!
Recently, so many survivors had come, and many were searching for supplies near Mentang Town, it was likely their activities that attracted those hidden zombies!
A bit troublesome.
This unexpected feeling was really annoying.
After figuring out the likely cause of the problem, he immediately took action!
He directly issued instructions to the cadres to first stop the construction of the branch base. Just now, one or two hundred zombies had rushed over in a short period of time. If more zombies suddenly came later, these survivors might suffer considerable casualties.
Among them were many professional talents that he had specifically instructed to pay attention to!
Those doctors, scholars, engineers, and other talents were all mixed in with the survivors building the base!
Before the branch base was built, he could only keep them under his nose as much as possible.
He couldn't let them die like this!
It wasn't safe for them to return to the residential area either, it was best to stay in the isolation area of his base, and release them after the crisis was over.
In addition to arranging for the survivors to enter the isolation area, Qin Jin also simultaneously ordered three small helicopters to go out for reconnaissance.
He needed to get an accurate picture of the outside situation in order to formulate subsequent countermeasures.
Besides these, after announcing that the base had entered level two alert, the original base personnel also stopped the construction of the wall and were ready to take up arms to defend at any time.
After a whole winter of training, the original base personnel, except for a few elderly people, had truly achieved universal conscription!
Everyone could use guns and arrows!
At the same time, Qin's father, the base's weapon manager, had also pulled out the weapons and ammunition prepared in advance, ready to be distributed to the personnel.
No matter what difficulties, they were ready!
An hour passed quickly.
At this time, the number of zombies accumulated outside the base had reached thousands!
This was a situation that had never occurred before!
Most of them were intercepted and blocked, distributed around the Green Source base, and the members on the wall had already begun to remotely shoot and kill these zombies.
There was not much pressure yet.
Recently, after the Green Source base restarted the construction of the main base's wall, the height was still at 20 meters.
It was not heightened, mainly to reinforce the base of the wall and thicken the entire wall, laying a good foundation for the subsequent heightening.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
Several helicopters that went out for reconnaissance just returned to the base.
In fact, they had already reported what they saw to the base's senior management and the leader through the walkie-talkie.
In the conference room on the second floor of the office building.
A group of Green Source base senior management had already come here to meet and discuss countermeasures!
Sitting in the main seat, Qin Jin said to all the cadres with a serious face:
"Everyone should also know some news. Today, a lot of zombies have gathered on our base during the day. I just sent helicopters out for reconnaissance and discovered an even worse situation!"
"In the entire Fenghe County, a large number of zombies that had been dormant before have been awakened by those mobile survivors and are gathering towards our base!"
"According to their non-stop moving speed, we may soon face a zombie tide of more than 100,000!"
Hiss!!
In the conference room, there were gasps of air of different sizes.
The cadres were all horrified by this number!
They had not encountered so many zombies even during the corpse fog days!
Now, more than 100,000 were coming at once!
Qin Jin's words were not finished yet. Before the other cadres could speak, he continued to issue the instructions he wanted to say.
"So this situation is worse than the previous corpse fog days!"
"And many of our main personnel have left the base to go to other cities! The good news is that our reconnaissance planes did not find them having any accidents in Fenghe County. They probably left Fenghe County in the morning."
"For this crisis, we have no other good way. If we don't kill them, letting them stay in Fenghe County will continue to harass us sooner or later! This time, everyone present needs to put in their full effort to deal with it!"
"We will face them head-on! Kill all these zombies!"
