#289 - Chapter 289 Applying Medicine
Evening.
Green Origin Base.
All key personnel had returned to the main base and branch bases.
No construction work was carried out throughout the entire day.
Most of the Anti-Green Alliance members had been dealt with.
Those who besieged the residential area knew through the walkie-talkie that their leader, Zhou Guang, and the others had failed. They fled with all their might before the Green Origin team could kill them.
This group was estimated to be twenty to thirty people.
Throughout the day, about twenty people were tracked down by cars and helicopters, with approximately ten still on the run.
The hunt for these fugitives would not stop. As long as they were still in Fenghe County, their whereabouts would be pursued!
As night approached, Qin Jin naturally ordered the team members to return first.
After all, the nights of the apocalypse were not to be trifled with. After wiping out a wave of zombies in Fenghe County some time ago, zombies from other places had begun to fill the void here.
This was mainly because there were many human survivors in this area, and their daily activities, whether strong or weak, attracted zombies to approach.
The injured at the branch base had been initially treated. According to statistics, the death toll was approximately thirty-four, with over twenty injured.
Nine deaths and eleven injuries in Residential Area 1.
Seven deaths and thirteen injuries in Residential Area 3.
The personnel at the main base were mostly staying at home, and the rest who went out suffered no casualties, which was a blessing in disguise.
Inside the leader's office at the main base.
Qin Jin looked at the reported information, his brow furrowed ever since he returned in the morning.
"Too many problems!"
He slammed the documents in his hand on the table, feeling frustrated.
The Green Origin Base, which he previously thought was strong, had exposed so many problems this time!
The residential area and branch bases had been infiltrated by that group, creating chaos at specific times.
There was also the issue of weapons. Previously, the base had not imposed too many restrictions on the survivors outside, so that they could retain their ability to resist zombies as much as possible.
For example, those with Level 1-2 abilities from the residential area and Green Origin who carried guns were not confiscated.
Only those who entered the branch base were truly considered to have entered Green Origin, and their weapons would be confiscated.
But they didn't pay attention to people bringing in zombie blood!
Yes.
In the afternoon, he had taken people to conduct simple interrogations of several survivors, and learned the Anti-Green Alliance's battle plan from them.
They actually carried prepared zombie blood and directly injected it into the survivors to quickly create zombies!
There were also signal jammers, which paralyzed their communications!
And drones!
Qin Jin's previous concerns had become a reality. Only one day after he left, someone used drones to attack the base!
Fortunately, the other party did not have many of them. Otherwise, if the scale increased, it was likely that even the main base would not be able to hold it today!
Even if the main base had many tanks and planes, it could only ensure the safety of those sitting inside.
He couldn't possibly hand over the main base, right!?
If they were really attacked, countless people would die!
He had not yet pried open Zhou Guang's mouth. This instigator was quite tough, and seemed to know his inevitable fate, so he didn't say a word.
Qin Jin planned to hand him over to Gao Qiang for disposal when he returned.
He hoped that this stubborn man could hold on.
Later, he learned from other underlings of Zhou Guang that they had been targeting them since An County!
And they were the ones who looted the An County Police Department and took the weapons there!
So that's how it was!
Good fellows!
No wonder the other party had a lot of weapons, and even used drone tactics so skillfully. It turned out they had learned from them.
"As expected, there are many capable people in the world! This time, I almost capsized in the gutter!"
Qin Jin couldn't help but sigh. He had seen many base leaders who thrived in the apocalypse in his previous life, so he naturally didn't dare to underestimate others.
But he didn't expect these capable people to be specifically targeting him!
Was it because he was too high-profile?
"There's no other way, I can only continue to become stronger. Only when I am strong enough to have no weaknesses can I be truly safe!"
He stood up, looked around the office, and looked at this place where he had stayed for more than half a year (including peacetime), and sighed slightly.
It was all because he wasn't strong enough, and he was being targeted by jackals and wild dogs all day long.
He already had many new ideas in his mind, and he could plan and adjust the base in the future tonight. This time, he must plug the loopholes he found, and also let other cadres think more and make progress.
Otherwise, if he had arrangements to go out and was not at the base, and encountered something again, would he still have to face the same situation as today?
Then he would definitely remove all these useless people!
Capable people would take the top spots, and incompetent people would get lost!
Knock knock knock.
A knock on the door came.
After Qin Jin responded, the door was pushed open.
It was Zhao Ling who came.
"President Qin, I've brought you medicine and ice packs."
She held a box in her right hand and said to Qin Jin, who was sitting and staring at her.
Qin Jin punched Zhou Guang in the morning, and endured the swelling of his right hand without saying a word in order to show off.
Although it had improved a lot after most of the day, it was still discovered by the careful Zhao Ling later.
So she brought medicine for Qin Jin.
She was not polite, walked towards the leader's position, put down the medicine box, and took Qin Jin's right hand with both hands to observe it carefully.
"It's already much better~, but still apply some medicine, it will heal faster."
She didn't ask Qin Jin, not afraid of strangers at all, smiling and actively picked up the ointment and applied it to his fist.
Feeling the coolness from the broken skin on his right fist, Qin Jin stared at Zhao Ling without blinking, looking at her busy figure.
"I heard that you immediately discovered that the hostage at that time was not the real me? Can you tell me how you judged it?"
Qin Jin's eyes met Zhao Ling's, Zhao Ling smiled, and then explained while applying the medicine:
"Intuition!"
"To be precise, it's a woman's intuition, hee hee~"
As she spoke, she smiled even more brightly.
......
Qin Jin didn't know how to respond...
Can you not be so metaphysical!
"No~ my boss is not so weak. You like to step with your right leg first when you walk, and every time you stand still, you will subconsciously shake your knee when you put down your right leg. Today, I didn't see that person have this small movement~"
"......"
The depths of Qin Jin's calm heart stirred slightly again...
This woman......
Feeling her slender and soft palms, and the way she carefully applied the medicine to him.
He felt his rock-solid heart tremble.
Just like last time...
Before he could say anything, he felt his hand being grabbed and pulled forward, covering a smooth and delicate face.
Zhao Ling grabbed his hand and held it on her face, feeling the warmth of his palm, rubbing it gently, and looked directly at Qin Jin with her watery eyes and said softly:
"My boss, please don't suddenly disappear like this in the future, okay?"
"I'm scared."
Qin Jin felt as if his heart was hit by something at this moment, and he subconsciously used a little force with his right hand, gently pulling that pretty face towards him.
He also went up to meet her.
Four lips met.
