#366 - Chapter 366: Lucky Family
The next day.
It was only a little after nine in the morning, but the sun was already high in the sky,肆意 radiating endless heat and baking the Blue Star.
Zombies, naturally, clocked out early in such a sunny environment and hid away somewhere, silently waiting for the next night to fall.
Guangyuan City.
Longmen County.
This city, bordering Shenzhen and Guangyuan, had already welcomed a group of uninvited guests.
On the national highway here, more than a dozen cars sped past!
Rumble rumble!
These survivors had no intention of being discreet. Perhaps because of the weather, they weren't worried about attracting zombies, and they floored the accelerator, heading towards the eastern part of Guangyuan City.
"Boss Tang, how are we going to find those guys after we get there?"
Leading the pack was a top-of-the-line eight-cylinder luxury SUV from peacetime. The driver of the car turned to ask a handsome man in the passenger seat.
This handsome man was naturally Tang Yan from the Tianhong Group.
They were here in Guangyuan City today to find the people who killed his brother and his companions.
According to the information and methods provided by Mr. Ma, after they arrived here today, they would directly seek out the survivors here to inquire about information.
From the survivors who witnessed this group's 'escape' after the incident that day, they learned that the group was traveling in three modified cars.
Modified cars like that were not uncommon in this era, and a force born in a second- or third-tier city like Guangyuan City shouldn't be that strong.
They were ruthless people who could build a base and survive in Shenzhen!
They believed that they were strong, as they were able to survive in such a dangerous place.
"After we drive a little further, we'll start looking for survivors to ask. We can also grab some people to take back. Whether it's to help find supplies in the future, or to keep them for making big meat buns, it's a good choice, isn't it?"
Tang Yan showed no grief over the loss of his brother, and was already thinking about how to find that force and earn more credit this time.
As someone who had lived to this day, he naturally understood a lot of information.
For example, gathering too many people would attract more zombies.
There were definitely not many forces with thousands of people like their Tianhong Group, and he didn't believe that this force would have so many people either.
Even if the other party had some guns, so what?
Did they not have any?!
They were also one of the forces that had 'picked up' a lot from police stations and received some benefits after the military district was breached last year!
"Just drive well! When we find survivors, we can pick out the women first!"
At this point, the people in the car let out laughter that all men understood.
That's just the way this world is.
Lawless.
******
Somewhere west of Fenghe County.
A small town not far from Mentang Town.
An old, dilapidated car was slowly driving down a small road.
There were three people inside: a man, a woman, and a young girl of about thirteen or fourteen in the back seat!
They were a family and were Level 1 residents in the Green Source Zone! (See Chapter 247 for details)
"Xiulan, Jiafu, we're in luck today. We found the brass the base needs! This time, we can not only exchange it for more food, but also increase our points a lot! Once we move all the brass back and trade it to the base, we estimate we can immediately become Level 2 residents and enter the residential area!"
While carefully driving and gripping the steering wheel, Lin Qizheng didn't forget to happily share.
During the recent outbreak of the parasite disaster, he and his daughter were treated with the medicine distributed by the Green Source Base and were lucky enough to recover before long.
Today, they were very lucky. They left the Green Source Zone where they lived and came to Lilin Town, west of Fenghe County, to look for supplies. As a result, they found that an unremarkable building actually stored a lot of brass!
It was estimated to be more than five or six hundred pounds!
This kind of material is an important resource that the Green Source Base can still trade for now, and it earns a lot of points!
It was considered very rare!
Since some time ago, the Green Source Base had reduced the amount of food that could be traded for materials.
The amount that could be traded each day was now much less than it was a few months ago, and some less important materials such as cement, sand, and steel could no longer be traded.
It was said that the Green Source Base had stockpiled too much and now only accepted traded materials on the new list.
Even though everyone had expected it, they were still deeply frightened and helpless when this day came.
The options for these survivors to obtain food were reduced, and survival became difficult again.
Now it was almost impossible to find any useful supplies in Mentang Town, because they had been scavenged clean by these survivors in the Green Source Zone.
Even some edible plants outdoors were often plucked and eaten before they had time to grow.
So Lin Qizheng's family had recently started to rent transportation from the Green Source Base and look for supplies further away, just like everyone else.
"Yes! It would be great if we could get into the residential area this time! I heard that the people in the residential area also have priority in getting jobs at the sub-bases!"
"In the future, when the Green Source Base has large-scale projects, the people in the residential area won't have to come out and risk finding things to trade for food. They can directly participate in the work arranged by them and get paid! And most importantly, they get two meals a day!"
Lin Qizheng's wife, Li Xiulan, also happily echoed from the passenger seat. Everyone was looking forward to a better life in the future.
For Level 1 residents of the Green Source Zone, being promoted to Level 2 and entering the residential area was the goal they hoped for in the short term!
At least the residential area was very safe. The tens of meters high walls and the constant defense were not a joke!
Moreover, Level 2 residents in the residential area also had the advantage of being able to take on Green Source Base missions in the future.
So everyone was exceptionally happy today.
After this batch of brass was handed in, plus the points they had accumulated before, they would be upgraded to Level 2 residents, and their lives would be greatly improved in the future!
Lin Jiafu, who was sitting in the back seat, also looked at her parents, who were talking excitedly, with a happy face.
That's great.
They didn't fall victim to the parasite disaster last time, and their family resumed the life of finding supplies and trading with the Green Source Base.
Although she was still young, she was exceptionally sensible and had a very clever mind, often having some whimsical ideas.
For example, every time they went out, she would suggest that her parents set up some small obstacles on the road, so that even if they encountered zombies and were chased, they would have a chance to trip the zombies and buy time to escape.
Her requirements were not high. She just needed to be with her parents, and everyone could rely on each other to survive.
If they entered several residential areas, then this wish would be even closer to being fulfilled.
This was also the wish of most people in the Green Source Zone.
