#272 - Chapter 272: Conspiracy
Zombies!
Zombies actually appeared in Residential Area 1!
This terrifying news exploded throughout the entire residential area!
"Help! Don't come over here! Ahhhh!"
One of the slower people tripped and fell, and the zombie chasing behind didn't care and pounced on him, tearing and biting!
The scene was a bit out of control.
That's how ordinary survivors are. When they hear about zombies, their first reaction isn't to immediately go and eliminate them, but to think about escaping first.
"Quickly grab your weapons! Lock the doors and windows!"
Li Shenglin widened his eyes nervously, swallowed, and said quickly.
At this time, all the members of their team were awake, even Xiao Cong knew what was happening, and looked around in horror.
"What's going on!? How can there be zombies here? Am I still dreaming!?"
He was anxiously running around the room like a headless fly.
"Everyone, don't panic! Stay where you are and don't act rashly. Be ready to fight the zombies at any time! Lao Liang, grab your weapons, let's continue to check the situation!"
Li Shenglin's face was solemn. He glanced at the situation outside through the slightly opened window. The person who had been pounced on was completely beyond saving and lay motionless on the ground.
However, the exposed skin on his body began to turn bluish-black, obviously because the major blood vessels had been infected just now, and he was about to begin zombification.
The other zombies didn't know where they had run off to chase other survivors.
"Let's be careful later, if there aren't many zombies, we'll find a way to get rid of them!"
In their eyes, this was a crisis, but also an opportunity!
A good opportunity to earn merit points!
Lao Liang next to him also nodded with a solemn expression. He naturally knew Li Shenglin's plan.
Their fear of zombies wasn't as great as ordinary people. If there were only a few, relying on the weapons in their hands, and with the help of the familiar terrain, plus the fact that the zombies were weaker during the day than at night.
They were still confident that they could subdue them unharmed.
What's more, there's also Green Source Base!
They believed that they had already seen the situation here and were sending people over!
Solving the zombies was only a matter of time, and in the eyes of these brave people, it was also an opportunity!
The two of them walked to the door, listened carefully outside for a while, and after confirming that there were no problems, they carefully opened the door and slipped outside.
"Lao Liang, you cover me, we'll find a way to find more people who dare to come out and deal with the zombies!"
Liang Defa nodded solemnly, agreeing with Li Shenglin's suggestion.
Merit points were good, but you had to have a life to spend them.
Of course, it would be better to find more companions.

Green Source Base.
From discovery to the security personnel notifying the captain again, it only took less than a minute, and Qin Guosheng came to the monitoring room again.
"What's going on!? Why are there zombies in the residential area!?"
The security guard observing the monitor was also sweating profusely. He had only left the screen for a little while and something had happened, and he didn't know the specific situation.
Qin Guosheng didn't waste time questioning his subordinates. What was needed now was to quickly put out this disaster!
If it continued to spread, and more survivors were infected, then many of the people in the two residential areas would be finished!
"Call Captain Chen over! Call up all the security personnel who are resting!!"
This matter had already exceeded the scope that his single department could handle, so he picked up the walkie-talkie and shouted in the base's cadre channel:
"Everyone, something has happened in Residential Areas 1 and 3 outside! Zombies have appeared! I need to mobilize more manpower to solve it! I request that the base's defense alert level be raised to the highest!"
This was clearly a special situation, and in order to quickly solve the problem, there was nothing wrong with him making this request.
The entire Green Source Base also entered a state of tension. A dozen original base personnel, along with the Level 3 personnel transferred from the branch base, rushed towards Residential Areas 1 and 3.
On the base wall, Qin's father looked at the already bright sky with worry on his face.
"What exactly is happening? Why are things coming one after another?"
He muttered to himself, looking at the personnel who were going to the residential area to solve the problem, his mind was full of thoughts.
His son had only been gone for one night, and a storm seemed to be approaching.
Was there a conspiracy in this?
Was Qin Jin's absence overnight related to the current situation?
Was someone plotting all of this!?
The more Qin's father thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
"Everyone, pay attention, the base is entering the highest state of alert! Cadres must manage their subordinates well! At least our main base cannot be in chaos!"
He couldn't help but emphasize it again in the cadre channel.
Everything that was happening now seemed to foreshadow something ominous.
Qin's father's words naturally received responses from all the captains and cadres. In fact, not only Qin's father, but other cadres also had this premonition.
Could it be that the leader was deliberately framed by someone and couldn't come back!?
That would be troublesome!
******
Not far outside the Green Source Base wall, in a certain bush.
A man with camouflage paint on his face saw the two rows of vehicles driving away, picked up the walkie-talkie and said in a certain mysterious channel:
"Brother Zhou, the Green Source main base has sent nine vehicles, about thirty people, to the two residential areas!"
This information was transmitted to the receiving equipment on the other side at an extremely fast speed.
A few seconds later, a sentence came from the walkie-talkie:
"Okay, prepare to execute the next step!"
After receiving the message, the painted man replied and ran in another direction, where an electric donkey was parked.
Getting on the electric donkey, he quickly left here without looking back, heading to another location in the plan.
A huge conspiracy is shrouding the Green Source Base!

Residential Area 1.
Li Shenglin and Lao Liang leaned against each other, panting heavily. In front of them were two zombies lying on the ground with holes in their heads, completely dead!
They had just gone through a fight and finally killed two monsters!
It had been several months.
Since joining Green Source, they had lived in Residential Area 1. Most of the time during the day, they went to the Green Source branch base to engage in construction work. It had been a long time since they had faced this kind of man-eating monster.
"Hoo! Lao Liang, are you okay!? Shall we rest for a while and then continue?"
Li Shenglin took the lead in recovering. Having been a soldier before, he still had some foundation.
Lao Liang took a deep breath and nodded, indicating that he had also recovered.
Just now, they used self-made shields and machetes, and it took a lot of effort to kill two zombies unharmed, which was a satisfactory result.
After recovering, the two continued to carefully walk and search. They had lived here in Residential Area 1 for several months, so they were naturally familiar with it, and this was already their new home, and they didn't want it to be defiled by the monsters outside!
"Let's kill two more and go back, otherwise our stamina won't keep up and it will easily cause problems."
Li Shenglin told Lao Liang, and after obtaining the other party's consent, he continued to step carefully.
They were already Level 3 personnel, and Green Source's points could be accumulated to upgrade. If they were to upgrade further, they would be Level 4 personnel and could obtain guaranteed rations. They were willing to take out these points to request the base to exchange for the qualifications for other team members to upgrade to Level 3 personnel.
That way, their entire team could be stationed at the branch base.
"Bang!"
Just as they were moving carefully, a gunshot suddenly rang out!
