#266 - Chapter 266 Seize Green Source!
Time shifted back to noon.
Zhushi City.
Petroleum Base.
After completing the reconnaissance of that Zhushi survivor base, Qin Jin led Zhang Tiankai back to this main camp.
Their strength seemed average.
Qin Jin had already mentally lowered their threat level.
No choice.
Truthfully speaking, the current Green Source Base could completely wipe out an opponent of this level with preparation!
Although their numbers might not be as many as the other side, their weapons, equipment, and advanced military power were absolutely crushing.
As long as they sent a few helicopters to drop bombs at night.
The other side would basically have no chance of survival.
However.
Although he was ruthless, he hadn't reached the point of being insane, cruel, and bloodthirsty.
The last time with the Guo family's shelter was due to irreconcilable conflicts, but this time, apart from sending people to observe the petroleum base, the other side hadn't actually made any aggressive moves.
Perhaps it was because he had annihilated two Chargers, and the killing intent deep in his heart had been vented, as his desire for slaughter had weakened a lot recently.
At the same time, he had new ideas.
This petroleum base definitely needed a long-term presence of personnel to continuously produce and refine fuel for the main base.
But the number of people couldn't be too large.
Too many would make it difficult to defend against the corpse fog.
Seeing the Zhushi survivor base today, he had some new thoughts.
Since this place needed people, but the number couldn't be too large, why not adopt a model like the Green Source Base?
Let some survivors live nearby and exchange a small amount of fuel or food for their labor.
If this could be done.
It could also serve as a reference for other forces in the outside world in the future.
"You guys should handle it this way. Prepare at noon and go to that Zhushi base to see if they are willing to cooperate!"
"It would be best if they are willing to cooperate and let them exchange the supplies we need!"
The construction of the petroleum base still required a lot of building materials and other supplies, and the production and refining also required some specific materials.
"If the other side is unwilling to cooperate, let them go if they don't show malice!"
"Once the other side shows malice, then there is no need for mercy!"
Inside the hall on the first floor, Qin Jin said these words to Zhang Tiankai and Wang Bin with a stern expression.
The latter naturally understood.
"By the way, boss, the people they sent over were captured by us. How should we deal with them?"
Zhang Tiankai scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
Qin Jin already knew about this in the morning. The people sent by that Zhushi base yesterday were captured by Captain Zhang, and one of the little girls was hit by his car and only woke up last night.
He even took the injured person's brother out for reconnaissance just now.
He leaned back on the sofa, picked up a cup of tea on the coffee table in front of him, took a small sip, and then slowly said:
"Keep these children for now! They can work at the petroleum base or be taken back to Mentang Town in the future. I can give them a chance. If they know what's good for them, then work hard to survive!"
"The apocalypse doesn't know when it will end. I will eliminate those who have conflicts of interest with us! But if there aren't any, we can keep them."
"I don't know what the next generation will be like either."
Hearing this, Zhang Tiankai and Wang Bin both understood what to do.
They had all learned about those children. Their parents had already died in the apocalypse. Later, several of them spontaneously formed a group to survive in the Zhushi base.
Only by completing the tasks arranged by the Zhushi base could they obtain a small amount of food that wouldn't starve them to death.
Perhaps they were considered lucky.
There were even more people outside who were in a worse situation.
"Alright, let's settle the matter like this. You guys can handle the communication with them yourselves. You can come to me with any problems or situations. The main base will support you at any time!"
After speaking, Qin Jin prepared to leave.
He had other things to go out for today.
After declining the two captains' invitation to stay here for a meal, he stepped onto the helicopter again.
"Go to Yucheng!"
Inside the cabin.
Qin Jin gave the order directly to Xia Yan, who was in the driver's seat!
He was going to the Yicheng Daliang Mountain Armory first!
Xia Yan had just been there yesterday, so naturally he wouldn't be unfamiliar with the specific location.
Inside the cabin, Qin Jin crossed his arms and looked at the increasingly gloomy sky outside the window, a trace of depth flashing in his eyes.
******
Petroleum Base.
In a certain room.
The ceiling was lit, and there were several bunk beds placed around. Several teenagers were lying on different beds to rest.
A girl was lying on the lower bunk of one of the beds, and a slightly older boy was watching her by the bed.
Zhang Shusheng looked at his weak and unconscious sister, and a strange emotion was brewing in his heart.
Yesterday, they were sent by the Zhushi base to continue monitoring this oil refining area.
As a result, they were captured by the people in this oil refining area, and his sister, Zhang Jingyi, was also injured and unconscious after being hit by the other party's car.
Later, he was threatened and interrogated, and after it was over, he was brought back to this base.
Just when these people were alarmed and angry, not knowing what to do next, the group of people who had captured them appeared with a man in a white coat who looked like a doctor.
He didn't know if that person's medical skills were excellent, but after looking at his sister and feeding her some unknown medicine, they all left.
In their panic, Jingyi actually woke up after about half an hour!
God knows how happy he was!
Their parents had already passed away on the night of the apocalypse, leaving the two siblings to depend on each other.
They couldn't say how much they approved of the Zhushi base.
Just surviving.
Being able to provide a relatively safe environment, complete tasks that weren't too dangerous, and still obtain food to survive was enough for them.
This group of people was like stray dogs. As long as there was food, they would stick to it and take a bite.
Now that they had come here, looking at this group of people who were much stronger than the Zhushi base, Zhang Shusheng had other thoughts in his heart.
This group of people could let them live in a place like a dormitory, treat his sister, and provide more food than the Zhushi base!
He felt it was necessary to find a way to stay!
Anyway, they were all stray dogs, so why not choose a more comfortable nest!
*****
Mentang Town.
In a certain house 13 kilometers away from the Green Source Base.
Dozens of survivors were gathered here.
They didn't go out during the day to find supplies to exchange for food like ordinary survivors.
But they were plotting something.
"Brother Zhou, we've found out! Today, the Green Source Base sent out dozens of cars, taking out most of their main force! Now is the weakest time for them! Can we take action now!?"
A man in his thirties with acne all over his face said to another man with a burly figure and a cold face.
If Zhao Ling or Tang Jinming were here, they might recognize that some of these people were the same ones who had argued during the medicine distribution at the base before!
And this burly man was called Zhou Guang.
"Today is not the best time!"
"Those people don't know where they went, and they could come back at any time! That would make our risk too great!"
"The time to act still needs to be looked at again! If those main forces of theirs don't come back today, then they have probably gone to a very far place! The probability of them rushing back before tomorrow morning is extremely small!"
"We must take this opportunity to seize the Green Source Base!"
Zhou Guang looked at the pile of guns and weapons piled on the table in the hall, his eyes bursting with a terrifying light!
