#317 - Chapter 317 The Sudden Tide of Zombies
It was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
Green Source Sub-Base.
At the wall.
Today, the personnel at the sub-base were not continuing with construction arrangements. Under the arrangement of the main base cadres, they were all engaged in resisting the zombies that had attacked during the day.
"A'Cai, take a break. You've been killing zombies continuously for two hours!"
On a certain section of the wall, Li Shenglin, having just climbed up, said with some heartache to Li Cai beside him.
Since morning, they had been divided into multiple shifts to go up the wall to clear out zombies.
Almost half a day had passed.
The number of zombies attacking during the day was not too high. On average, only one or two thousand appeared per hour, spread out over the several hundred or thousand meters of wall around the entire base, so it wasn't considered dense.
For the main base and sub-base at this time, it naturally didn't pose much pressure.
Compared to the main base's thirty-five-meter-high giant wall, the sub-base's wall, which was only a little over twenty meters high, was considered relatively "short."
The sub-base had a larger area, so the perimeter of the wall was naturally longer.
The number of defense personnel needed also increased accordingly.
At least one person needed to be stationed every ten meters or so.
The sub-base's current population of nearly three to four hundred people didn't need to be deployed all at once.
They were divided into two batches by the cadres. One batch went up to stab and kill zombies for two hours, then the other batch, who had rested enough, would take their place.
"Brother Li, I'll leave this to you~ I'm going down to rest first~"
Li Cai and Lin Shenglin were in separate batches. Having reached the end of her two-hour shift, another batch of people who had rested enough naturally took over.
Taking the long spear she handed over, still warm from the girl's long grip, Li Shenglin silently held it in his hand.
He watched the girl, who had already turned around and was walking back to the resting area, a playful ponytail showing from under her baseball cap, before turning back to face the zombies that were appearing one after another.
"Phew! It's my turn!"
He took a deep breath, glanced at his companions on both sides who had also just come up for the shift change, and said calmly:
"Old Liang, Xiao Cong, let's go!"
After saying that, he thrust the long spear, still carrying the girl's warmth, forcefully, fiercely stabbing into the head of a male zombie covered in blood and filth that had appeared below!
The defense battle continued.
From the moment they became Level 1-2 personnel of Green Source Base, they could be considered the outer personnel of Green Source.
Now that their "home" was under siege, they naturally needed to stand up and contribute!
Along the entire wall, more than two hundred people were spread out at intervals, stabbing and killing the attacking zombies.
Everyone knew that the defense battle had only just begun.
In another hour or two.
Night would arrive.
That was when the zombies' true strength would be revealed!
******
Green Source Main Base.
In the monitoring room here, many personnel were staring at the screen, as images from many cameras deployed in Green Source were transmitted here.
Before the geomagnetic event, Qin Jin had people perform shielding protection, and these electronic eyes safely survived the geomagnetic shock.
In the screen's image, everyone could see some ragged figures running towards them!
However, the numbers were not extremely high, possibly due to the different zombie paths, making them appear somewhat sparse.
"Continue monitoring! Report any situation to us immediately!"
Qin Guoqiang and Li Bowen, along with many members of the military force, were also here. Even those who weren't present were maintaining defense order in different parts of the base.
Everything was under control.
Yes.
At least, that was the case so far.
Similarly.
In the leader's office.
Qin Jin would also occasionally take the time to glance at the screen hanging on the wall. This screen also connected to camera signals inside and outside the base, allowing him to conveniently check the situation at any time.
Another large-scale zombie horde was coming, but this time he was much calmer.
On one hand, the base's strength had been enhanced again, and on the other hand, there were even more people this time!
Green Source Base was no longer just a hundred or so people!
Now, including the sub-base and the people in several residential areas, there were as many as four to five hundred people!
As long as they defended according to plan, even a large-scale zombie horde wouldn't be too worrying.
He even had time to pick up the scientific research data he had been neglecting for a while and study it.
With such a treasure trove in the base, he felt that he would really be remiss if he didn't explore it.
This was also the time to train his subordinates. As long as he was there, he believed that things wouldn't go wrong!
Yes.
Time to read.
******
Sub-Base.
Li Cai and A'Zhen, along with several other companions, had just walked down the wall and were sitting in the temporary rest area set up by the base, taking a break.
"Sister Cai, you're so amazing now! I always see you taking care of zombies in one or two moves. You're so much better than us!"
Ignoring her dark clothes, she directly wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeve, then looked at her companion with admiration.
She hadn't expected such a big difference between her and her former companion after not seeing each other for several months!
A'Zhen picked up a water bottle and took a big gulp, then offered the bottle to Li Cai.
Li Cai just smiled, casually took it, and tilted her head back to gulp down several mouthfuls.
"It's okay. As long as you master the techniques and have the advantage of terrain, those zombies can be dealt with relatively easily. I also have to kill zombies every night or morning in Shanshi, so more practice is good~"
She didn't mention that her reaction speed had increased. It wasn't a good idea to talk about that kind of thing casually.
It wasn't exactly intentional concealment.
It just wasn't necessary.
Sometimes having a small trump card might play an unexpected role at certain times.
"Food's here! Everyone come and line up to receive it! Everyone gets a share, no need to fight or grab. Eat your fill and continue fighting the zombie invasion tonight!"
At this time, several personnel came over carrying several large steel buckets from not far away.
From a distance, those resting people smelled the tempting aroma of the food!
It's time to eat!
Green Source would never mistreat everyone in this regard.
The meal this morning not only wasn't reduced in any way, but this afternoon's meal was even richer than usual!
There were actually three dishes!
Two bowls of rice!
How long had it been!
The vast majority of the sub-base personnel hadn't eaten a meal with more than three dishes since the beginning of the doomsday era after the mutation night!
"Sister Cai! Awesome! There's cucumber stir-fried with meat, eggplant with minced meat, and stir-fried vegetables! A full three dishes!"
A'Zhen, having just received the distributed meal, almost had her eyes pop out.
She couldn't wait to share it with Li Cai, who had also just received her meal.
The latter just smiled and nodded, not saying much, but her beautiful eyes were also shining with excitement!
Indeed, it had been a long time since she had eaten such good food.
A'Zhen happily took a bite, then let out a satisfied sigh:
"I really hope zombies come over every day in the future, so we can eat our fill~~"
