#333 - Chapter 333 Fishing
"Huh?"
Qin Jin stopped biting into his big meat bun and stared intently at the scene in the isolation zone of the sub-base.
Who is that?
How could a girl be in Liu Wenhao's car when he's out on a mission?
Could it be that Old Liu is so lucky in love that he's already found a partner!?
That's not right.
Even if he found a wife, shouldn't he keep her in the base where it's safer?
A few random thoughts flashed through his mind, and then he had a flash of inspiration.
Oh!
That's right.
He just remembered that Wang Yang had told him a few days ago that Liu Wenhao had brought a girl from an interesting team from the Shanshi Coal Mine Shelter, apparently to meet her companions.
"So she's going back today."
He resumed chewing on his meat bun, staring fixedly at the armored vehicle in the monitor as it started and drove off, soon disappearing from the screen.
Such friendship in the apocalypse is truly rare.
However.
The figure in the baseball cap just now seemed to give him a strange feeling?
Although the monitoring screens are all high-definition lenses, they can only reach a maximum of 1080P, and the characters in the cars filmed from a distance are mostly just silhouettes.
That person seemed a little familiar to him, had he seen them somewhere before?
Qin Jin pondered for two seconds.
Unable to find an answer, he quickly dismissed it.
Perhaps he had inadvertently encountered them somewhere at some point.
He had been staring at the monitoring screen during the zombie horde defense battle the night before, so he might have seen them then.
Anyway, he shouldn't have any interaction with them.
Probably.
After finishing breakfast, he continued to devote himself to the base's development plan and the ocean of knowledge in scientific research.
The secret of the treasure girl, Lin Runwei, was still waiting for him to uncover.
If he could restart evolution and become stronger, that would definitely be one of the most important things right now!
If there were conditions, even if external forces were strong, it would not be as good as directly becoming stronger himself!

Morning.
Yun City.
A city adjacent to Guangyuan City.
Luyuan had been here to find experimental equipment, and it was also the only way for the coal transportation team to go from Mentang Town to Shanshi.
At this time.
In a not-so-developed county town, several figures were sneaking around the streets.
They were actually some survivors living nearby!
However, the situation was a bit strange now.
There were five or six survivors who appeared.
All the men were hiding and cowering in the surrounding buildings, holding sticks, steel pipes, and other weapons in their hands, and one of them even had a hand crossbow that he didn't know where he got!
Compared to those hiding, the only woman was squatting by the side of the road in the county town!
This was a disheveled woman.
The clothes on her body were obviously not the right size and were a bit loose on her.
At the same time, a mess of long hair was thrown behind her, revealing a face that would have been considered passable in the past.
But it contained despair.
Her eyes were vacant, like a breathing corpse, quietly sitting by the side of the street.
"Brother Lu, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, can we still catch fish?"
"Who cares if we catch fish or not, at least this way we still have a chance, if it really doesn't work, we'll just slaughter this meat pig!"
Among the men hiding, in a clothing store window about thirty or forty meters away from the woman, two men were whispering.
The one who said the latter sentence was a sallow-faced man who looked to be about thirty years old, but with not much hair on top of his head, already trending towards a Mediterranean hairstyle.
And his eyes had an abnormal red tint.
The one who asked him was a companion who came out to work together.
They were a group of survivors living nearby.
"This road is the main route between the east and the west. As long as you don't take the highway, people often pass by here. Let's wait a little longer."
The sallow-faced man said casually.
He also picked up a piece of blackened and yellowed cloth to wipe the sweat from his face.
After entering May, the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
It wasn't even noon yet, and the temperature had already reached twenty-eight or nine degrees, making people uncomfortable.
"Recently, many survivors have started to move around. Let's take the opportunity to catch more meat pigs and hoard them."
The sallow-faced man's words were agreed upon by his companion.
Yes, after getting used to eating meat, telling them to go hungry again would be like taking their lives.
Without a doubt.
From their conversation, it could be known that they were a group of beasts who made a living by hunting and eating their own kind!
These kinds of survivors were not uncommon in the apocalypse.
Compared to venturing into buildings to find food, or trying their luck in the wild, it was better to use bait and wait for the rabbit.
Finding a "meat pig" could provide a full meal for a very long time!
And the vacant-eyed woman in front of them was naturally their 'bait'.
As long as someone couldn't help but stop and approach the woman, they would step into the trap they had set up and become their prey!
Time passed.
They felt more and more bored and hot while waiting.
The closer it got to noon, the higher the temperature, and the sun scorched the entire earth, making the zombies afraid to easily come out for a stroll.
"Brother Lu, it's so hot! Why don't we go home and rest? It looks like no meat pigs will appear today."
The young man with a pockmarked face next to the sallow-faced man complained.
Although there were no zombies outside now, it was uncomfortable to stay, so he suggested going home to rest.
Anyway, there was still marinated "meat" at home, so they wouldn't starve to death.
Right?
"Ka—spit!"
The sallow-faced man spat out a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, smacked his lips, glared at the pockmarked-face young man, and said impatiently:
"Wait five more minutes! If no one comes, we'll pack up and go back!"
Seeing that he was going to return empty-handed again in the morning, he was not in a good mood.
Couldn't these damn survivors consciously come over to die?
He swept his sinister gaze towards the woman who had been sitting by the side of the road for a long time without moving, and made up his mind to relax a bit when he went back later!
Hmm!?
Just as some yellow and violent scenes flashed through his mind.
Suddenly, a slight sound and vibration came!
It sounded like the sound of a car!
"Everyone, get ready! It looks like someone is coming!"
The sallow-faced man was overjoyed.
After waiting for half the morning, was a prey finally about to appear!?
With a slight excitement and anticipation, in just a few seconds, several large vehicles appeared in their sight!
The leader was actually an armored police car!
!!!

Zhu City.
Petroleum Base.
After a period of development here, both production and defense arrangements have entered the right track.
The core circle's wall was only a dozen meters high, and with the main base sending people to concentrate their firepower and build it quickly, it has recently been completed.
The production of fuel is also being maintained at a stable rate by the worker team led by Wang Bin.
At this time.
In the outer reception hall for receiving outsiders.
Wang Bin and Zhang Tiankai appeared here.
Today was another day for trading with the Zhu City Base.
During this time, Wang Qichuan, President Wang of the Zhu City Base, had brought some survivors as trade, and Wang Bin had also selected two people with professional needs to supplement the petroleum base.
President Wang received a considerable amount of food, and Wang Bin and his team also obtained two electricians who knew a lot about electrical knowledge, who properly straightened out the electrical system for the petroleum base.
Both sides were happy.
Even the two survivors who entered the petroleum base were overjoyed because there was food, drink, and a relatively safe environment here!
As for being afraid of the other party planting spies?
Please.
Of course, newcomers would be closely monitored and would not be allowed to contact the core areas.
The same was true for the sub-base in Mentang Town. The personnel who came later could only hold relatively less important positions, and key positions were basically held by the original base members.
Today.
Wang Qichuan confidently found Wang Bin and his team again to trade.
He said with a smile:
"President Wang, I have brought the talents you urgently need today!"
"Our Engineer Chen used to work in this oil refining area and knows a lot about the technology here!"
What!?
Wang Bin, who originally thought today would just be a normal transaction like usual, was shocked!
