#455 - Chapter 455 How Much Ammunition Is There?
Outside the city of Shenzhen.
The people of the Red Cloud Base shielded their eyes from the sunlight, squinting as they strained to see the approaching convoy.
"They're here! They're here!"
"Quick, notify the leader!"
Two excited members quickly took action, one grabbing a walkie-talkie to notify the base干部, while the others responsible for the base gate prepared to open it!
The operational range of walkie-talkies had greatly decreased after the geomagnetic variation, but they were still usable for the Red Cloud Base since their base wasn't very large.
Outside the Red Cloud Base.
The convoy that appeared was indeed the Green Origin combat unit sent by Qin Jin for support and to keep order!
"Team Leader Zhong! We've arrived at the location! Should we send the signal?"
In the lead armored vehicle, the driver turned back to ask Zhong Yu, who was observing the area with binoculars.
After scanning the area and finding nothing unusual, he said:
"Send the signal!"
Immediately, the headlights of the armored vehicle in front began to flash rhythmically.
The people from Red Cloud had discussed a simple code with Qin Jin yesterday for easy confirmation when they arrived today.
As expected.
The Red Cloud Base seemed to receive the signal, and their gate slowly creaked open!
"We're preparing to enter! Everyone, prepare for battle! If you spot anything unusual, open fire immediately on my command!"
Zhong Yu and his combat unit didn't abandon their vigilance just because their leader had talked with the others yesterday.
Earlier, from a more distant location, without the Red Cloud Base noticing, they had already flown military-grade spy drones over their heads for several circles!
The people of Red Cloud had no idea that they had already been 'greened' by Green Origin...
Uh... isn't there a saying, 'To have a good life, you must have some green on your head?'
Bah.
In any case, after confirming there were no obvious problems, Zhong Yu directed the Green Origin convoy to drive into the Red Cloud Base.
Clang!
Once all the vehicles were inside, the gate was closed and sealed shut.
Old Zhong pushed open the car door and stood in the outdoor square of the Red Cloud Base, surveying the base that had only joined them yesterday.
'Pretty dilapidated,' he quickly concluded in his mind.
But he didn't say it out loud, maintaining a cool expression on his face.
It wasn't surprising that he had such thoughts.
Because many of the residences inside the Red Cloud Base were converted from the original buildings, and after the acid rain and the passage of time, they looked as old as if they had been there for many years.
This was the situation for most survivor bases.
As long as it was habitable and safe, who would bother renovating?
As the Green Origin convoy entered, more and more people from Red Cloud came out to watch.
Some boldly stood nearby to watch directly, while others, more timid, peeked from behind building doorways and windows, everyone curious about what this so-called Green Origin Base was like.
They all knew that their base had offended New Sheep City and would soon face a devastating disaster.
At this moment, a burly man walked out from the crowd.
It was Xiong Sen, the deputy leader of Red Cloud!
"Brothers! Thank you for your support! Feel free to ask for anything you need! As long as we can do it, we definitely won't refuse!"
Xiong Sen walked up to Zhong Yu and spoke seriously to these armed personnel who had come to support them!
Hmm?
This person looks a bit familiar!?
Holy crap!
Isn't he the brother who stood on the car and gave a 'speech' after the demise of the Tian Hong Group!??
Xiong Sen remained calm on the surface, but was actually shocked inside, remembering Zhong Yu, the man who had promoted the name of Green Origin during the final stages of that battle.
Level 10 Seal - Seal!
He once again gave himself the mental suggestion not to easily reveal any surprise.
Yesterday was embarrassing enough, with their people gaping like country bumpkins, shocked by the environment and conditions of the Green Origin Base, even breaking his own Level 9 Seal.
But!
Today he was different from yesterday!
Today, he was Xiong, the Level 10 Seal, Sen!
He wouldn't easily reveal any unusual expression, a cool and aloof male god.
Unless he really couldn't help it.
"No need to be so polite! We're just here to complete our mission under the leader's orders. Just give us a place to rest. We brought our own supplies for living and fighting, so we shouldn't need to trouble you."
Zhong Yu shook Xiong Sen's outstretched hand. Hmm, very strong, this big man.
He had the aura of someone who had been in the military. No wonder he was so stern and had such a strong, iron-blooded aura.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, they began to settle down in the area arranged by the Red Cloud Base.
For these Green Origin members who came to help them, Red Cloud had emptied an entire small building for them to use.
Zhong Yu didn't stand on ceremony. Nearly forty people had come this time, so a small building should be barely enough to accommodate them.
And the vehicles they drove, besides an armored vehicle and a riot control vehicle, there were also eight other heavy trucks and off-road vehicles, a total of ten!
The backs of the vehicles were all covered with waterproof tarpaulins, and no one knew what was hidden inside.
But it was clear that Green Origin hadn't sent any tanks for combat this time.
No tanks!?
It was rumored that New Sheep City had heavy weapons like tanks. Could Green Origin defeat them with other weapons?
The people of Red Cloud had all sorts of doubts in their hearts, but they didn't dare to directly ask the people of Green Origin.
They were here to help them, not to die, right!?
They must have other means!
They would just wait for good news.
Green Origin didn't pay much attention to what others thought.
Under Zhong Yu's instructions, they began to unload weapons and ammunition and start assembling and deploying them.
At this time, Yan Hong also came out and exchanged a few words with Xiong Sen before standing aside to watch what these Green Origin combat units were busy with.
"Holy crap! Are those all bullets??? So many!!!"
Some of the Red Cloud members watching exclaimed in shock.
They saw the Green Origin members carrying boxes of supplies from some of the heavy trucks, and from the patterns and fonts on them, they could vaguely see that they were all ammunition!!
The Red Cloud Base also had thirty guns, with fewer machine guns and mainly pistols, but bullets were always used sparingly. They would use knives whenever possible, and only use guns when absolutely necessary.
But after so long in the apocalypse, even if they originally had a lot of stock, defending against zombies and searching for supplies had long used up most of their bullets.
Now they actually found that two boxes of ammunition casually carried out by the people Green Origin sent were more than their entire stock!
Too extravagant!?
"Damn! Are those grenades!? How come there are so many of them too!!?"
More people exclaimed.
They saw the Green Origin people carrying out many more boxes of ammunition marked with dangerous explosives!!
How much ammunition did they bring this time!?
Were they going to fight another extermination battle!??
