#436 - Chapter 436: Incredible
The entirety of Guangnan Province has experienced almost no significant rainfall since the beginning of June.
Aside from the various human factions, even the survivors in the outside world are beginning to sense an ominous atmosphere.
This apocalypse was extremely sudden for all of humanity.
Subsequently, there were earthquakes, acid rain, purple fog, and an unprecedented extreme cold disaster.
More and more survivors have realized that this is likely another disaster coming their way!
"My god! Are you not going to give us a break?! It's bad enough being chased and killed by zombies every day, and now we have a drought?! MMP!"
The survivors raised their middle fingers, sending their deepest condolences to some unknown entity.
Unfortunately, this does not solve their current problems.
Some smart factions have already taken steps to store water and conserve its use.
Some clever survivors or groups are also using their own methods to increase their chances of survival.
After the parasite crisis at the beginning of the year, almost all survivors have mastered their own understanding of water sources.
"Honey, we've filled all the pots and pans in the house with water. This should be enough for us to use for almost a month! We shouldn't run out of water, right?!"
"According to past experience, prolonged hot weather will accumulate a lot of water vapor in the sky. It's been over a month, so it should rain soon. If not, we can go to some of the more distant rivers to get more water. There's no need to worry too much!"
In Longmen County, a couple was chatting quietly in a remote rural house.
They are a relatively lucky couple.
After the apocalypse, they fled to the countryside and found and dug up a lot of crops before the acid rain.
In the days that followed, they also relied on the advantage of the sparse population here. They didn't encounter many zombies, and they could often find scattered plants and animals to fill the gaps in their food supply.
In addition, they were cautious about drinking water sources, and were hardly affected by the parasite outbreak.
They can be called a model for apocalypse survivors.
At this time, they were chatting idly in their reinforced house.
The weather has been hot recently, making it difficult to find edible things. The remaining food at home also gave them confidence, so they simply reduced the frequency of going out during the day.
The cautious couple even prepared a lot of water.
In their minds, such rich preparations should ensure their safety. On the contrary, occasional zombie harassment is the biggest trouble.
"I'll find a way to reinforce the house. As long as we stay here, we can last a long time. Maybe the country will recover someday."
The husband said with a relatively optimistic smile.
This is also the biggest hope of most survivors when they are bored.
They dream of returning to the peaceful times of the past.
Even eating gutter oil, genetically modified food, pre-made meals, being criticized by the boss, and suffering from life is a million times better than being afraid every day and worrying about starving to death.
Some things are only cherished when they are lost.
Humans are just so cheap.
The couple dared not think too much about the good old days, because the more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they felt now.
After ending the chat, the husband ran to find things to reinforce the house, and the wife began to look for edible plants to make lunch.
Compared to the survivors outside who are so hungry that they are confused and delirious.
They are already very enviable.
******
Afternoon.
Mentang Town.
A small residential area under construction.
Dozens of survivors were sweating profusely, working hard to dig the foundation of the wall outside the residence.
In the morning, they moved the required building materials into the small residential area, and now they are waiting for the foundation to be laid so that they can start building the walls at full speed.
Under the quick-drying cement and the current sunlight, the construction of the wall is faster than ever before.
The base also sent several teams to places outside where there are water sources to fetch water for them to use.
Water trucks filled with water are driving around in the green zone, injecting vitality into the construction of the small residential area.
"Hoo, that's great!"
During the construction process, a level 1 person took advantage of an occasional break to drink water and pour a spoonful of cold water on himself, eliminating a lot of heat from his body.
People rarely use water so lavishly, but now it is because the Green Origin Base strongly supports the current conditions.
Many people also took the opportunity to take a bath that they hadn't taken in months, washing off a layer of dirt from their bodies.
Even if there is a shortage of water outside, the powerful Green Origin Base can still obtain certain water resources from some of the more distant large rivers.
Occasionally, survivors who are ambushing with ill intentions, after seeing the Green Origin team members holding guns and coming aggressively, have to tuck their tails and watch them go away.
Can't afford to provoke them.
Oh, occasionally some ignorant zombies will still receive peanut rewards.
"Thinking about how in another week, we can live in houses protected by high walls, it feels so good, doesn't it! That way, I can get a good night's sleep in the future!"
Level 1 personnel who took time to rest during construction were full of expectations for future life.
After the safety problem is solved, the remaining problem is food.
As long as the Green Origin Base can regularly provide some jobs, these people can earn a living by their own efforts.
Life is showing light.
"Huh?!"
"What's that?! Is that a plane?!"
A level 1 person who was resting in the shade suddenly asked, pointing to the sky.
The others couldn't help but look in the direction he was pointing.
"Holy crap!? What is that thing?!"
Many people present were stunned.
What is that?
In the western sky of this small residential area, an object hanging high in the sky is flying towards them!
All the personnel who heard the news put down their work and looked there.
In just a short while, that strange aerial object came to the top of their heads. Even though the thing was still hundreds or thousands of meters away from them, they could still feel the hugeness of this strange thing!
It's nearly a hundred meters long, right?!
But you can't see the wings, it's not a civil airliner.
Moreover, this thing did not stay over their heads, and continued to fly east.
"Damn! I remember seeing this kind of thing on TV before! It's called an airship!! Is it flying in the direction of the Green Origin Base?!"
Wow——!
The people present couldn't help but exclaim!
What happened this time?!
Are enemies attacking?
Or is this something new that the Green Origin Base has found?!
In short.
It seems like something big is happening again!
