#35 - Chapter 35 Doomsday - Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

"Your younger brother and sister might still be alive."

Qin Jin gave this answer as Gao Qiang stared in disbelief.

"I'm not just trying to comfort you. There's a real possibility that your younger brother and sister are still alive."

"Of course, it's only a possibility. It's so chaotic outside right now that no one can say for sure that anyone can survive for long in this kind of environment."

"This is a judgment I've made based on certain information I've gathered. You can choose to believe it, or you can think I'm just trying to fool you. It's your freedom."

"I don't object to you joining the combat team. In a little while, go into the conference room in the office building. The combat team members are in a meeting right now. You can go in and say hello and learn a few things."

Qin Jin continued, speaking to Gao Qiang, whose expression had become joyful.

"Do your best. Maybe in the future when you go out, you'll really have a chance to meet your younger brother and sister. I didn't lie to you. This is a guess I made from a certain perspective."

He patted Gao Qiang on the shoulder.

Then he continued to walk away.

Even though the other man was older than him, neither of them felt anything awkward.

Gao Qiang felt intensely excited.

He didn't press him to the end like he was trying to break a clay pot, relentlessly pursuing the reason.

Because even if he continued to press for a reason, the question of whether or not to believe it would still remain.

If he wanted to believe it, then what President Qin had just said was enough.

If he didn't believe it, then asking more wouldn't help.

Perhaps this was the answer he most wanted to hear in his heart.

He didn't want to change this hope.

He gave Qin Jin's figure a deep bow.

Then he turned around and entered the office building.

He was going to join the combat team.

Sensing something, Qin Jin looked back at his figure.

He casually pulled out his walkie-talkie and told Zhong Yu to let Gao Qiang join the combat team.

What Gao Qiang didn't know was that Qin Jin hadn't lied to him just now.

From what he knew in his previous life.

Many survivors survived as families and bloodlines.

Many survivors had parents, siblings, and children, which at first made many people feel incredulous.

Later, someone put forward a hypothesis, which also received the most recognition.

That is, virus mutations are regular!

The corpse fog was the fog that emerged from the surface.

In the mutation of the night stalkers, the vast majority of humans mutated into zombies.

But leaving behind many survivors with relatives was likely because these survivors had some kind of special trait in their bodies!

Genes of the same bloodline would be more similar.

The manifestation of this was that many survivors had relatives.

The virus was carrying out "survival of the fittest" on humans!

In his previous life, no one had yet researched what special traits survivors possessed that allowed them to survive.

What genetic advantages these survivors had over the dead.

No one had yet come to a conclusion.

But this did not prevent this guess from gaining the support of the vast majority of people.

Who didn't hope that they were the chosen one.

Some people regarded the appearance of evolutionaries as evidence.

Humans had never imagined that they could become so strong in a certain field.

But the proportion of evolutionaries was too small.

Making the situation where the vast majority of people in reality were ordinary people logically inconsistent.

In his previous life, natural disasters also continued to occur.

Those were disasters that surpassed human imagination.

They were not something that could be done by human power, such as meteorological weapons.

Some people also said that the apocalypse was created by aliens.

They released viruses and created disasters to kill all of humanity.

This statement was also agreed to by many people.

There were many viewpoints.

In his previous life, during times of not having enough to eat, the cheapest activity for living people was to move their mouths and chat and brag.

Later, the most common saying was that the apocalypse was caused by the Blue Star's self-formatting mechanism.

The Blue Star was clearing humans, a virus parasitizing its surface.

It spontaneously formed fog that would exterminate humans, as well as various terrifying disasters.

For humans, it was a disaster, but for the planet, it was nothing.

In peaceful times, humans, for the sake of development, indiscriminately exploited and cut down trees, used various resources, and even engaged in war and nuclear explosions.

They built various magnificent architectural wonders that changed the landforms.

Perhaps these actions angered this planet.

If the Blue Star really had consciousness.

No one knew.

And no one could verify it.

From what Qin Jin knew.

He lived for six years in his previous life, and his horizons were very broad. He had been to many places.

He had been to the south and the north.

Relying on his originally good skills, decent intelligence, plus the ability of a leg-type evolutionary, he avoided disasters and zombies, and could only wander around for food.

Occasionally going to some survivor bases, he also interacted with many people.

Others knew his identity as an evolutionary and did not dare to offend him easily, and were happy to befriend him.

So he knew more information than many people.

He was also the most faithful believer in the saying that this apocalypse was the Blue Star's "self" formatting.

Although he could not find his parents.

But in his previous life, he found his cousin Qin Zhe's family of three still alive!

According to this ratio, it was very incredible.

So he felt that Gao Qiang's younger siblings might still be alive somewhere.

He was not deliberately deceiving Gao Qiang to work for him.

As for whether they had been eaten by zombies, it was hard to say.

In this apocalypse, having relatives alive might be a blessing at first.

But in the later stages when there was not enough to eat, it was a tragedy.

What he could do was to build the Green Origin Base well so that his people could survive to the greatest extent.

As for what the final result would be, no one could tell him.

He was also looking for this answer.

——————————————

Evening.

Employee Dormitory.

After Dong Hui and Wang Bin entered the base.

Under Wang Yang's arrangement.

They had initially familiarized themselves with the rules and regulations here.

They also ate together in the canteen in the evening and learned a lot about the situation here.

At this time, the two of them were resting in the dormitory.

Compared to before when they were hiding from zombies in Guo Qing's office in the chemical factory, sleeping on the floor, and drinking fish tank water.

The two of them ate the small amount of snacks that Guo Qing gave them, which she had left in the office herself.

The amount was not enough for one meal a day, and they were already so hungry that their chests were sticking to their backs.

In just a few days, they had experienced that kind of unease and hunger.

Now they were surrounded by high walls, sleeping in normal beds, and there were people patrolling and guarding outside all day long.

The sense of security was full.

The death of their former leader, Guo Qing, was a foregone conclusion, and no one mentioned it again.

Right now, their only wish was to be able to survive.

"It's really incredible. Since a place of this scale has appeared in just a few days, I suddenly see hope for the life ahead."

"Also, did you see that? President Qin actually ate the same food as us at night!"

Wang Bin lay on the bed and chatted with Dong Hui on the opposite bed.

Indeed, Qin Jin usually ate together with everyone in the canteen when there were no special circumstances.

"Yes, the leader of this base is indeed that President Qin. This is also the first time I've seen this kind of person. I don't know how to evaluate him."

"I hope we can live well here. I don't dare to think about my family anymore. All we can do right now is to take care of ourselves first."

Yes, Wang Bin also had family, but after a few days of despair, he no longer dared to mention them.

Take care of yourself first.

The rest can only be prayed for.

Just as the two were chatting idly.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and someone shouted from the other side:

"Dong Hui, please come out. President Qin has something to ask you."

The two quickly got up and opened the door, and saw Wang Yang, who had received them today.

Without delay, Wang Yang then led Dong Hui away from the dormitory and went to a certain warehouse.

Leaving Wang Bin still sighing in place: "Tsk, tsk, Lao Dong is soaring. Having skills is different. I can't envy it."

Wang Yang quickly led a bewildered Dong Hui to a warehouse on the edge of the base.

There were already several people waiting inside, precisely Qin Jin, as well as Qin's father and several original factory employees.

Seeing Dong Hui arrive, Qin Jin did not beat around the bush and said directly:

"Worker Dong, I heard you say during the day that you can manufacture a lot of explosives. Although the things inside the chemical factory have not been moved back yet, we originally had a lot of chemicals. Take a look at this list and see if you can help us formulate some explosives tonight."

"The power doesn't need to be too strong, ensuring safety and stability is the main thing. I have use for them tomorrow."

After speaking, he handed over a list.

Dong Hui quickly took it, adjusted the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and carefully checked it.

After a while, he answered affirmatively:

"No problem. There are also a lot of things in here. At least a few relatively stable bombs can be configured."

"Give me some glass bottles or sealed boxes, and I will also make a list later. I also need some common materials. I can make them tonight."

Qin Jin was overjoyed. The biggest gain today should be this talent!

He alone might be comparable to the weapons of a police station!

He waved his hand.

He assigned the few people who had studied some chemistry knowledge, who Qin's father had brought, to Dong Hui to assist him in starting work.

This warehouse was originally located on the edge of the base, far away from the residential area and the planting area.

As long as there were no major accidents.

Of course, he also specifically told Dong Hui and them to be careful and not to blow themselves up.

In the future, this place will be listed as a confidential unit of the base. Qin's father also understood the importance of Dong Hui under his explanation.

In the future, people will be sent to pay special attention here, on the one hand to monitor, and on the other hand to protect.

Even starting tomorrow, he does not need to repair the city wall, as long as he concentrates on doing scientific research here.

Later, he also plans to get some scientific research tools from the chemical factory or other places outside and give them to Dong Hui.

Using this person well will become a powerful weapon.

Of course, precautions are also essential.

After dealing with Dong Hui's affairs, he still had to prepare for tomorrow's outing.

He was going to separate the combat team.

Currently, the combat team has five teams, and after the replenishment of personnel, there are five people in each team.

Most of them have had the experience of going out. Several team leaders were cultivated in advance before the end of the world, and have made great progress after these few days of baptism.

Every one of these captains can be called a small elite.

Especially Zhong Yu, this original childhood friend.

He was originally just an ordinary office worker.

A few months ago, Qin Jin recruited him, and during this period, he followed Li Bowen and the others to do a lot of training, and he also instilled a lot of ideas in him.

At this time, it would not be an exaggeration to describe him as reborn.

No one can tell that he was an ordinary worker before.

Tomorrow they need to be separated.

Qin Jin will lead three teams to continue searching for the remaining weapons in some police stations.

The other two teams will take other personnel from the base to the chemical factory to move things.

The chemical factory has already been cleaned up once, not the first time it has been reclaimed.

So the difficulty is not high, and so many combat personnel are not needed.

Considering that it was the first time to take other people from the base out.

That's why two small teams of combat personnel were sent to assist. When they are familiar with it later, perhaps one team will be enough.

Even without the assistance of combat team members.

The people in the base also need to be trained, and it is impossible for combat team members to escort them out forever.

His idea is that everyone has the ability to kill zombies.
