#344 - Chapter 344 What's coming in? - Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

In the main hall.

Xiao Ming was briefly introducing the people in their group.

The only woman and one of the men in this small group were actually companions who had escaped from Yangcheng Base with Xiao Ming!

They had received some care from him.

Otherwise, it would have been difficult to survive among a group of men until now; women face too many dangers in the apocalypse.

"Hello, I'm Zhang Gelin, thank you for the noodles! I haven't eaten anything so delicious in a long time!"

The man who walked out first interjected, introducing himself.

Only then did Li Bowen seriously size up this man.

He appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with the stubble and beard common among male survivors in the post-apocalyptic world. Under the light of the bonfire and the battle team's lighting, his clothes were also visible.

A bright yellow long-sleeved shirt, with the words "Liang Tuan" faintly visible on it.

Well, then.

Unsurprisingly, this man named Zhang Gelin's former profession was easy to guess.

"You're welcome."

Captain Li replied to him indifferently.

"I..."

Zhang Gelin opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he saw Xiao Ming pulling his sleeve and winking, and finally stopped speaking.

Li Bowen watched all of this, and he had a feeling what this young man surnamed Zhang wanted to say.

It was nothing more than what he had said when he ran out to them at the beginning, wanting to join their team.

Joining the combat team was naturally impossible, but taking them back to Green Source and letting them live there through their own efforts was still possible.

But since Xiao Ming didn't let him continue speaking, Li Bowen didn't mention it again.

"Captain Li, thank you for tonight's dinner. You can rest here as much as you like. There are many rooms here, and we have checked them. Under normal circumstances, zombies can't get in."

Xiao Ming sincerely expressed his gratitude to Captain Li.

Although the Green Source group felt that it should be the other way around.

After understanding the information and the external defenses were basically dealt with, it was completely dark outside.

Captain Li looked at the time on his hand.

6:37 PM.

It was about time for nightfall.

Now that they had eaten and drunk their fill, the next thing to do was to arrange the night watch.

Tonight's defense duty in this abandoned factory was very simple. Due to the lack of manpower, two shifts of teams were arranged.

Each team had five people, and each shift lasted six hours.

They would stay in the factory and monitor the zombie situation outside at any time.

At this time, the rain outside finally lessened, but it was still a moderate rain.

Except for those assigned to the first night watch, everyone else quickly found a place to rest.

Today was also a busy day, from going to Jujiang to find things in the morning to the thrilling escape in the afternoon, which really consumed a lot of their physical and mental energy.

The long night began.

******

In a certain room of the factory.

A faint fire was burning here, and the weak light illuminated the surroundings, so it wasn't completely dark.

Xiao Ming and the others gathered here.

They hadn't gone to sleep yet, but were still chatting in low voices.

"Brother Xiao, why did you stop me from asking them to take us away? It's hard for us to stay here! The Tian Hong Gang is really too欺人太甚!"

The man in the rider's clothes, named Gelin, asked Xiao Ming, who was resting his head and thinking.

His words seemed to interrupt the latter's thoughts.

Xiao Ming turned his head and glanced at him, sighed, and said:

"I want to too! But I know something about those people, they may not be good people either! When I saw them last year, they didn't even want to chat with me."

"After the rain stops tomorrow, let's find a way to leave here and go to other cities, Guangyuan City, or Yuncheng City, as long as we stay away from here, the Tian Hong Gang won't be able to find us."

After speaking, Xiao Ming didn't continue.

The room returned to silence again.

Everyone understood what he meant.

Indeed, the other party was under no obligation to help them.

Even if Xiao Ming and the others refused them to come in today, the other party could completely ignore their consent with their absolute firepower!

In this world, it's all about who has the bigger fist.

"Let's sleep, we'll find a way to leave here tomorrow, there's always a way out."

The small fire in the room burned out.

Several people in the team felt the long-lost fullness in their stomachs and began to snore.

In the darkness.

Only a sigh that no one could hear flashed by.

******

Twelve o'clock at night.

The first batch of night watchmen had already changed shifts and went back to rest, and now it was Gao Qiang, Captain Li, and several other external collaborators on duty.

At this time, the rain had finally weakened to an imperceptible level.

After raining for most of the day, the rain almost completely passed through the clouds in the entire sky. Captain Li stood on the roof of one of the buildings and looked up at the starry sky above his head. He actually saw many twinkling stars.

"......"

I don't know what to say.

This starry night scene that had never been seen in peacetime was actually seen in this situation.

The whole sky was extremely clear and full of stars.

If it were before, perhaps many people would have taken out their mobile phones to take pictures and post them.

But now no one does that anymore.

Now people are having trouble even surviving, who has the leisure to pay attention to these things.

Beside him, Gao Qiang and several other team members were holding machine guns or hand crossbows and staring at the other two directions.

They each wore a pair of infrared glasses.

Every time the team members went out, they would bring a lot of equipment to prevent this situation.

At this time, the number of zombies outside was not large. Perhaps the rain had washed away their scent. The hundreds of zombies that had entered the factory not long ago quickly dispersed a lot, and only increased to nearly a hundred again after nightfall.

There was no need to clean up this number immediately. The surrounding walls were not high, and making too much noise would attract more distant monsters.

The night watchmen were silent and silently completed their tasks.

I don't know how long it had been.

Suddenly.

Captain Li's ears twitched.

"Hmm?"

He had just heard a strange sound, as if something had landed?

"Did you hear that?"

He asked the two companions next to him to confirm.

"??"

Gao Qiang looked blank.

But another team member had some discovery!

"Captain! I saw a shadow flash by out of the corner of my eye just now! But it was too fast to be sure! Did you find anything?"
