#374 - Chapter 374 Please Save My Mom!
Night was approaching.
Outside the perimeter wall of the sub-base.
A lone car was parked there.
Several zombies, having discovered their prey, were clawing at the car, hissing madly.
"Do not open the gate! Captain Qin said to observe the situation first!"
After reporting the current situation to Qin Guoqiang, the personnel on the wall received this reply.
A car arriving so close to nightfall seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.
Even if it appeared to only have a young girl inside, the necessary vigilance couldn't be abandoned.
Having just experienced the Anti-Green Alliance incident, the base's defenses had been significantly improved overall.
It was necessary to understand the situation with this car before taking any further action.
Moreover, the car below hadn't been modified, making it clear that it wasn't a vehicle rented out by Green Source Base, which meant it was likely a survivor coming to Green Source for the first time!
Zhao Ling frowned as she looked down from the wall at the girl besieged by zombies. With the zombies pounding so hard, cracks were already appearing in the car window. It seemed it wouldn't be long before they broke through!
She thought for a moment, then instructed the team members beside her:
"Take care of the zombies below first!"
Hearing the personal instructions from one of the base's captains, the on-duty personnel didn't dare to offend her easily, even though she wasn't a combat-related cadre.
They responded and skillfully pulled out their crossbows, aiming at the zombies below and firing the bolts!
Their accuracy was naturally good. As part of the base's armed forces, even the people in the sub-base possessed considerable combat power.
A few ordinary zombies were nothing. Even with their increased strength after nightfall, they were still no match for humans with weapons.
In less than ten seconds, these zombies, who had just started their shift and were acting fierce, fell to the ground and slept forever.
Zhao Ling looked at the somewhat frightened girl inside the car and nodded slightly.
This way, the person below wouldn't be in immediate danger.
Seemingly seeing that the crisis outside the car was resolved, the person inside actually opened the car door!
Very young!
This was a girl no older than fifteen!
About 1.6 meters tall, wearing a not-so-clean T-shirt and sweatpants, her face and hands covered in black marks, her appearance somewhat disheveled.
Just as Zhao Ling and the defense personnel were on alert, preparing to see what this person would do, an unexpected scene unfolded!
This girl actually knelt down on the spot!
"Wuwuwu! I'm Lin Jiafu, a Level 1 personnel brought by Green Source!! I beg you, save my mother!! I beg you!! Wuwuwu!!"
After saying that, she kept hitting her head on the hard ground!
With the help of the already-lit wall lights, Zhao Ling saw the girl's tear-streaked face!
There were also some clearly visible abrasions and bloodstains!
More importantly, it was filled with despair!!!
Zhao Ling felt a sharp pang in her heart, as if struck by something.
What had this girl been through?!
How could she have become like this?
At this moment, Zhao Ling felt a strange sense of familiarity!
She seemed to see herself in the past!
"What's going on?! Who's coming over at this hour?"
Qin Guoqiang had arrived. As the base's security chief, he usually wasn't bothered by everything, but situations like this were relatively rare. Plus, he was free at the moment, so he came back to take a look after receiving the notification.
"Captain Qin, I think the girl below seems to need help. If possible, let's take her to the quarantine zone for questioning first."
Zhao Ling was a little surprised to see Captain Qin come over, and she actually spoke up for a girl she had never met before!
She knew that if things were done normally, there was a high probability that Captain Qin would send the girl back.
Because at this time of night, Green Source Base basically never took in any outsiders to stay overnight.
But she had just seen the girl's heartbreaking plea and remembered her own past experiences, and a sense of pity arose!
She wanted to understand what had happened to this girl who was crying so miserably!
Simply taking her into the quarantine zone wouldn't be considered a violation.
Qin Guoqiang also looked at Zhao Ling with some surprise. He didn't expect this head of the logistics division to make such a request.
Although he didn't understand why she would say this, it didn't prevent him from giving her face. This was originally a matter of a few words from the cadres.
"Let her into the quarantine zone for questioning."
With the head of security's approval, the on-duty personnel naturally had no objections. The sub-base's gate opened wide, revealing a quarantine zone inside that was even larger than the main base's.
Seeing this, Jiafu below naturally knew that the base was responding.
She quickly returned to the car and drove it in!
She needed to quickly explain what happened today and then ask the people here to save her mother!
******
Time rewind.
Back to around 3 PM.
Jiafu watched as her mother desperately hugged the痞气 man's feet, tears streaming from her eyes like water from a broken dam!
She hated it so much!!
But she simply couldn't beat this痞气 man, not even with her mother!
This was the second time she had tasted this kind of heart-wrenching pain!
The first time was when her father was shot and killed by this man...
She could only pour all her strength into her legs and run forward with all her might. She had to escape from here, because this opportunity was created by her mother at the cost of her life!!
"Wuwuwu!!"
She sobbed as she ran. She could no longer see anyone behind her. She didn't know how long she ran, only that she had to keep running forward.
Until she was tripped by something unknown and fell to the ground, rolling several times before stopping.
Lying on her back on the ground, looking at the cloudless sky and clouds above, she had no time to admire them. All she felt was the ultimate darkness of despair!
"Wuwu! I want to go back! I want to go to the base and bring people back to save Mom! Mom, wait for me!!"
She staggered to her feet, ignoring the abrasions caused by the fall on her face and limbs. She patted her cheeks to force herself to be a little clearer and frantically worked her little brain to find a way back to Green Source Base!
Being captured by them might not mean her mother would be killed, but if she was also captured, then absolutely no one would come to save them!
So she had to find someone to ask for help!
Staying here was a dead end!
Not to mention that the group of men were still here, the zombies that came out after nightfall would tear her apart!
She had to find a means of transportation to go back!
She knew the way home!
Because she often ran around here with her parents during this time, plus she was originally from Fenghe County. As long as she had a car, she could...
But where could she find a car now?!
Most of the cars outside had either been corroded and damaged by acid rain, or their fuel had been drained clean. Those locust-like survivors wouldn't leave half a drop for others!
Jiafu's little brain worked rapidly, recalling the places with the most parked cars during peacetime.
Got it!!
There must still be many cars with fuel in those dangerous places!
She turned despair into motivation, and the desire to save her mother filled her heart. All danger was thrown to the back of her mind at this moment!
Go to those underground parking lots to find a car!!!
