#271 - Chapter 271 Zombies Appear in the Residential Area
Six o'clock in the morning.
The rain, which had lasted for the better part of a day, finally stopped.
The earth gradually awakened as usual, the plants, nourished by the rainwater, stretched their bodies and grew vigorously, adding a touch of new green to the spring once again.
Mentang Town.
Inside a special duty room within the base, someone was responsible for observing the monitoring screens. The large screen displayed not only public areas of the main base but also scenes from the branch base and residential area, even including some key transportation routes in the Green Zone.
It was considered a very important place in the Green Zone base.
At this moment, a security guard, who had been on duty all night, rubbed his eyes, trying to relieve the fatigue caused by a sleepless night.
Last night, the base suddenly increased its alert level, requiring these security guards to respond with more focused attention.
Many people guessed that something had happened at the base. The fact that several helicopters were dispatched continuously indicated that the matter was not small.
Fortunately, nothing happened during the rest of the night.
"Ah~~~"
The security guard couldn't help but yawn. In about half an hour, someone would come to relieve him, and he could go back to rest and sleep.
Suddenly.
A slightly noisy sound came from the speaker next to the monitor.
He came back to his senses and looked over there.
He quickly realized that it was the sound feedback from one of the surveillance cameras installed outside in the Green Zone!
In the image in front of him, two figures were violently attacking a person lying on the ground!
"Damn!"
The security guard exclaimed, his whole body energized. He continued to stare intently at the screen, and also zoomed in on the picture to the maximum!
At this time, the figure lying on the ground in the picture was motionless. The two masked assailants stood up, holding a small bag of something in their hands. As if sensing that the camera was aimed at them, they even turned around and glanced at it!
One of them picked up a stone from the ground and threw it directly at the camera!
Smack!
Buzz buzz buzz—
The screen in front of the security guard went blank, unable to display the scene there anymore.
But the guard had already reacted!
Someone was robbing and killing in the Green Zone and suspected of seizing food!
They even dared to destroy the surveillance cameras set up by their base!
Audacious!
"Captain! There's a problem here in the duty room! Someone is robbing and killing in the Green Zone!"
He quickly reported the situation on the security department channel.
Under normal circumstances, the base would quickly send people to deal with this kind of thing.
Indeed.
In less than two minutes, Qin Guoqiang came over with several on-duty team members. After a quick exchange and review of the recorded video, Qin Guoqiang quickly took action.
He quickly notified the combat department of the situation, letting this violent department of the base handle this violent incident.
After a brief exchange, Chen Junchi and Liu Wenhao decided that Liu Wenhao would lead the team out to pursue and search for these two "daring" people who dared to commit crimes in the Green Zone.
This kind of thing had happened more than once recently.
As the end of the world dragged on and survival became more difficult, those survivors who were willing to work hard to find supplies and trade for food with Green Source were doing okay; at least they wouldn't starve to death or could get by with a half-full stomach.
But there were also many who didn't want to risk going out every day, wanting to wait for Green Source to give them handouts or for other survivors to rescue them.
When they couldn't bear it anymore, killings, robberies, and escapes would often occur.
It was even said that there were already many survivors around who specialized in this kind of thing, specifically targeting those "fat sheep" who had just traded for grain with Green Source and robbing and extorting them on the road.
"I'll go. You stay at the base to protect this side."
The boss hadn't returned all night, and these cadres hadn't had a good rest.
They didn't dare to send all the people from the combat department out at this time.
Chen Junchi nodded, agreeing with his brother's words.
Liu Wenhao's team spent a few minutes assembling and preparing, then drove four modified vehicles out of the base gate, heading towards the damaged camera.
It was a little over ten kilometers from there to the base. It would only take ten minutes to get there. If they were fast, they could quickly find the two perpetrators.
In the base's monitoring room.
The security guard, who had just relaxed a little, took a sip of his cold tea and continued to stare at the monitoring screen.
Sigh.
This world.
It wasn't the first time he had seen this kind of situation. He didn't want to judge the rights and wrongs of these robbers' actions. Anyway, if you committed a crime in their Green Zone, you had to be prepared to be hunted down by the base.
Their base just wanted to create a relatively stable paradise.
After taking a sip of tea, he stared at the screen boredly, waiting for another ten minutes or so before he could get off work and rest.
Suddenly!
His eyes once again saw two small screens split from the large screen. It seemed that something was wrong again!
It was residential areas 1 and 3!
In the picture, a large group of people were running around randomly, as if they were avoiding something!
When did this happen!?
He was just making tea, only a few minutes of not paying attention, how could something else happen?
He quickly turned on the microphone that came with the monitoring of residential area 1, and a burst of noisy sounds came from inside.
"Run! There are zombies behind us!"
!!?
Zombies!?
What the hell!?
How could there be that kind of thing inside the residential area!?
His whole body tensed up, his sleepiness completely gone. All the anticipation of handing over the shift was gone. He quickly enlarged the picture, just wanting to carefully check and listen to what was happening there.
Due to the high-definition nature of the camera, he could see several ragged figures chasing after the fleeing people behind the crowd.
There really were zombies inside the residential area!
His pupils contracted. He couldn't bother to continue checking and picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted:
"Something happened! Zombies have appeared in the residential area!!!"
*****
Time went back a little bit.
Inside residential area 1.
Li Shenglin had just woken up. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at the light coming in from the window.
"It's dawn."
After muttering, he prepared to wake up the companions who were sleeping with him.
There were both men and women in their team. Now that it wasn't winter, there was naturally no need to gather together to make a fire to keep warm, so they split into two rooms to live in.
Anyway, there was plenty of space in the residential area. It was easy to allocate space for nearly a hundred people.
"Xiao Cong, Lao Liang, get up and prepare to go to the branch base to work."
He had just shouted.
An even more chaotic sound came from outside the window!
"Help!! Zombies are coming in!!"
What!?
Zombies are coming in!?
In an instant, Li Shenglin's sleepiness disappeared. He jumped up like a spring and quickly leaned against the window to check outside!
Lao Liang next to him also sat up instantly. Without caring that he was only wearing a single shirt, he ran to the window to check what was happening with Li Shenglin.
Only Xiao Cong was still sleeping like a dead pig.
After slightly pushing open the window, Li Shenglin and Liang Defa carefully looked out.
They saw many people they usually saw frantically fleeing, and behind them, several blood-stained figures were chasing!
A chill rose from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
Zombies really came into the residential area!
