#42 - Chapter 42 Let’s go and kill people - Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Green Origin Base.

Inside the medical room.

After the man briefly explained the situation, the others, seeing his weakness, decided not to disturb his rest for the time being.

Qin Jin led the group out of the room.

He allowed the two to continue resting, while also assigning personnel to help watch over them, which also served as surveillance.

Newcomers, especially those just arriving, would definitely be subject to an observation period; they couldn't be allowed to do whatever they wanted upon arrival.

Even with their current injuries and inconvenience, there would be no relaxation.

Once they had recovered better later, he would conduct another assessment to decide whether to ultimately keep them.

Outside the medical room, Liu Wenhao said to Qin Jin:

"President Qin, I encountered these two near the base. They were being chased by several zombies, and I rescued them on the way."

"After asking, I learned that they had been soldiers and used to work nearby. When I wanted to ask more details, they fainted. Seeing their injuries, I figured they were overwhelmed by the sudden relaxation, so I brought them back to the base."

"See if they are suitable. If not, I will kick them out."

Qin Jin looked up at the dark night sky. It was cloudy today, and the moon was hidden behind the clouds.

Hearing Liu Wenhao's words, he didn't have many thoughts. He waved his hand and said:

"Go and rest. You've been out all day and are tired."

"You did well. While the zombies aren't too crazy, we need to keep stocking up on supplies. It will be hard on you all. Leave these two to me; I'll handle it."

As he spoke, he patted Liu Wenhao's shoulder.

He told him to take the others to rest.

After washing up, it was almost dinner time.

He would check on the two later to ask about their situation, after they had rested a bit.

He still had other things to attend to.

After dinner.

The base was still bustling with activity.

Most people had tasks.

In this world, there were no other entertainment activities at night anyway, so everyone accepted sitting down to chat while working, and they could also leech off the electricity.

In addition to lighting, the workplaces also provided charging for small appliances, which was better than being alone in the dorm.

There was no casual chatting during the day because the work schedule was tight; it was only slightly more relaxed at night.

Qin Jin inquired about the supplies the combat teams had retrieved from outside today.

Unsurprisingly.

It was mostly the food, equipment, and medicine on his list, as well as various electronic devices.

He had mainly directed the combat teams to supermarkets, convenience stores, grain and oil shops, food factories, hardware stores, and so on.

These places would have the most useful supplies.

Not to mention the various long-lasting snacks, rice, flour, and other grains were also easy to find.

Other miscellaneous items like oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, cigarettes, alcohol, and tea were also plentiful.

Generally, everything in a convenience store was a target for scavenging, and the daily necessities in some supermarkets were also not to be missed.

You have to know that later in the post-apocalyptic world.

When you can't even find toilet paper, you have to use something else after pooping, and that's just awful.

And it's also very difficult for women to not have sanitary products when their period comes.

In reality, these inconspicuous items play a very important role.

It's just that everyone is used to their existence during peacetime.

You only think of their convenience when they're gone.

The surrounding scavenging points were plentiful.

And would be the daily target for the combat teams, bringing back as much as possible.

If they weren't brought back, after a long time, not to mention they would expire and deteriorate, most of the exposed supplies would be destroyed by the acid rain and acid fog that would come later.

Some might say that they wouldn't take them and would leave them for other survivors, which would also be indirectly saving people.

Are you sick?

There were definitely saints with such inferior brains, but Qin Jin wouldn't allow such people to appear in the base.

If anyone in the base had such thoughts, he would tell them to get lost.

He would take their heads off and make them roll.

Today, the combat teams of each squad did well, transporting several cars of supplies back.

Including the trucks and various cars that had been brought back in the previous days, the base now had nearly a hundred vehicles!

This had already made the base slightly crowded.

It seemed that some of the older or unsuitable vehicles would have to be parked outside later.

The base also needed to be expanded in the future.

The nearest other factories to the Green Origin Base were several hundred meters away.

Qin Jin chose this site because it was remote and had less disturbance, but of course, there would also be other disadvantages, such as limited usable buildings.

It would be difficult to expand the base in the short term and would have to wait until the weather was better next year.

The chemical plant had entered a stable period and would be almost ready after a few more days of moving.

Dong Hui was still making explosives with a few of his men every day.

Then they were stored in the basement on the edge, with strict safety measures in place.

He had watched them test the detonation during the day today, and the effect was good, basically meeting the requirements.

Next was to continue manufacturing and stockpiling.

Starting tonight, he also planned to equip the combat team members with a certain number of bombs, which were sometimes a life-saving artifact.

He worked until nearly ten o'clock at night.

After digesting the day's gains.

Based on the information from the combat teams, he re-arranged and adjusted the combat details for each squad.

After finishing these things.

He suddenly remembered the two people who had been rescued today.

They had rested for quite a while, so they should be much better now, right?

Without wasting words.

He directly notified Liu Wenhao to go with him.

After all, the other party had brought them back, so Liu Wenhao could handle anything that Qin Jin was uncomfortable with.

Soon.

They reappeared at the door of the medical room's ward.

Looking inside.

Sun Xiaolong and his younger brother were half-lying on the hospital beds, their complexions obviously much better.

After receiving several hours of intravenous fluids and eating some porridge, his younger brother had also woken up, and both of them seemed to be in good spirits.

After seeing who it was, Sun Xiaolong quickly got up to greet them.

"President Qin, Brother Liu, hello! We are much better. Thank you for saving our lives! Please tell us what you need us to do. We will definitely not refuse anything we can do!"

Sun Xiaolong said smoothly.

He had already learned some information about this place through chatting with Doctor Zhang and the guards.

He knew the names of the people who had saved them and the person in charge here.

He also knew that this was originally President Qin's factory, which had been transformed into a survivor base after the apocalypse.

He wasn't clear on other detailed information.

"You haven't fully recovered from your injuries, so just sit and talk. We're here to understand the situation. Coming here doesn't mean you can join. You need to go through an assessment. We don't have specific standards for how to assess you yet. You can introduce yourselves first."

Qin Jin said to the two.

The Sun Xiaolong brothers didn't actually sit down after hearing this. They were still standing, straightening their backs and looking at him, and said:

"We brothers are from Ganxi. I'm two years older than my brother. We both came here to work. After finishing high school, we were soldiers for a few years. After being discharged, we've been working in the Yangtze River Delta."

"This time, after the long holiday, we left home and returned to Guangdong Province together. We found a factory that provided food and lodging, planning to work together for a few years to save some money to find wives, but the world changed, and there were monsters everywhere that ate people."

"We also know those are called zombies. We've seen them in movies, but we've never seen them so crazy. Fortunately, we met Brother Liu today, or we would have been done for."

After speaking, he was still a little frightened.

After escaping from Zhao Qiang's factory in the middle of the night last night, they traveled for a long time in the dark.

Due to hunger and pain.

They couldn't find anything to eat or drink along the way. They were running out of strength after not eating or drinking for several days, so they had to dig up some bark to fill their stomachs.

They didn't recover until noon before continuing to escape with a little strength.

In addition, most of this area was undeveloped.

To avoid Zhao Qiang, they didn't dare to take the main road and chose to take small roads, so their speed was extremely slow.

Several times, in order to avoid zombies, they ran into abandoned buildings to hide, only daring to come out and continue on their way after the zombies had left.

They dragged their heavy bodies along like this.

By late afternoon.

They had only traveled less than a few miles in a straight line.

As a result, they encountered several more zombies.

They didn't have the strength to kill them, so they could only run for their lives.

While escaping, they used stones and obstacles to slow them down, until they ran to a certain road that was a necessary route for the Green Origin Base to return home.

Just when they were exhausted and about to collapse in despair.

Liu Wenhao's team appeared.

They quickly solved the zombies.

After communicating with them, they couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.

They were brought back to the Green Origin Base by the latter.

After listening.

Qin Jin and the others felt that these two didn't know whether to say they had bad luck or good luck.

They were chased by zombies, but they ended up at the Green Origin Base.

Just as everyone was still sighing with the two brothers.

Qin Jin raised a question he had wanted to ask before.

"What's the matter with the injuries on your bodies? The doctor said they were caused by beatings. And what did you do? Why did you run away from your original place? Tell us the truth."

Sun Xiaolong and Sun Xiaohu looked at each other, and the happy expressions they had just had changed.

The scenes that had happened in Zhao Qiang's room flashed through their minds again.

Sun Xiaolong hesitated.

He didn't know what the atmosphere was like here.

If these people were like Zhao Qiang's gang, wouldn't they be out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth?

Seeing their change, Liu Wenhao couldn't help but ask.

"What's the matter? Try to tell us. We're very reasonable here. If there's something you can't say, it may affect your joining the base. It's recommended that you tell us and we'll deal with it together."

After speaking, Qin Jin didn't urge him and waited for the two to continue.

The two brothers exchanged glances, and finally decided to confess.

Sun Xiaolong spoke again.

"We were beaten."

"There were five of us before, and three girls. We were taken to a factory and controlled by a group of people. The women were raped. That gang wanted us to join, but we didn't agree, so they tortured us to death."

Sun Xiaolong continued to tell the detailed events of the previous few days.

Including how they avoided zombies and sought survival during the mutation night, and how they led a few girls to hide in a house to survive, spending a few days in fear.

Then, Zhao Qiang lured them out and they were controlled in their factory.

Finally, the despair of seeing the women being ravaged by this group of beasts, but being powerless to do anything, was all told.

"We regret not killing them when we first met them! With our skills, it wouldn't have been a problem to deal with less than ten of them, but they held those women hostage, and we were soft-hearted!"

At this point, the Sun Xiaolong brothers' faces were contorted, and the veins on their clenched fists were exposed.

"We never thought humans could be so evil! The apocalypse has only been here for a few days!? How dare they do that kind of thing!?"

"We spent a few days with those girls, and we were familiar with them! We hate that they suffered that kind of torture right in front of us!"

"We can't wait to kill that group of beasts now! Since there's no law, we don't care!"

Bang!!

A muffled sound.

It was Liu Wenhao who couldn't help but get angry after listening, and punched the wall hard.

The redness on his fist began to spread, his face was ugly, and his eyes were slightly red, but he didn't forget to say to Qin Jin:

"Sorry, President Qin, I couldn't control myself just now."

The latter replied with a blank expression, even unusually calmly: "It's okay, it's normal to not be able to control yourself when you hear this kind of thing."

Uh.

Liu Wenhao suddenly wanted to say, then why are you controlling yourself so well.

Before he could ask.

Qin Jin had already continued to say to the two brothers:

"If the situation is true, then we will get justice for you."

"After all, if the situation is true."

"You are people from our base."

Immediately afterwards.

He picked up the walkie-talkie and switched to the combat team's dedicated channel.

He shouted to the combat team leaders.

"Immediately wake up all the combat team members and prepare for battle! We will gather at the gate in 10 minutes, with vehicles and weapons!"

"Listen clearly! Everyone! Immediately!"
