#507 - Chapter 507 Give a Chance to Survive

Hearing the older sister ask again about her reasons for joining the Foreign Cooperation Force, Jiafu didn't hide anything.

"I want to protect Mom, and also Sister Zhao Ling."

A very direct answer.

Yao Lei accepted it immediately.

Because she was the same.

When she first entered the apocalypse, the base wasn't as orderly as it was now. Everything was unknown and filled with panic. It was the base leader who led everyone out to search for hope of survival.

Considering herself no less capable than men, she, along with Zhou Xin and a few other female team members, joined the combat team at the time, following them in battles everywhere.

Yao Lei and Zhou Xin's families were also living peacefully in the main base.

In that case, Jiafu was the same kind of person as them.

They looked at Jiafu with even more friendliness.

This was a girl younger than them, but even braver.

And she had suffered greatly outside.

As they chatted, they also heard from Jiafu about how her family had survived outside before.

They were filled with emotions.

It was really too difficult for the survivors outside to survive.

"We'll protect you from now on! Work hard, and in the future, you and your mother can live better here!"

Yao Lei hugged Jiafu, revealing a bright smile, looking like a big sister.

She and Zhou Xin both had a very good impression of Jiafu. She was a strong girl.

The night was getting darker.

The few of them quickly stopped chatting and went to sleep nearby, as it would soon be their turn to stand guard.

The weakening of the Earth's magnetic field continued.

Indicating that the protective shield of the entire Blue Star was still weakening.

The temperature would continue to rise.

******

The next day.

The sky was slightly bright.

The Green Origin combat troops, who had had a peaceful night, got up early and, after making preparations, once again embarked on the road to their destination in Ning City.

Today, the temperature was still touching, soaring to a terrifying level of nearly fifty degrees Celsius before 7 a.m.

Before the sun came out, everyone put on their gear, covering not only all exposed skin but also remembering to bring sunglasses.

Their preparations were so thorough.

"Old Liang, I'll drive first today, and it'll be your turn at noon. See if there's a way to cover the car windows a bit. The sunlight outside is really too harsh."

In one of the heavy trucks, Li Shenglin greeted his old partner, then continued to focus his attention on driving carefully ahead.

Those driving outdoors were really suffering a bit. Even with the car's air conditioning on, the strong ultraviolet rays outside still relentlessly tormented everyone.

There was no good solution. They couldn't just cover the windshield, could they?

Fortunately, these cars had been modified, and they hadn't yet broken down due to prolonged driving in hot weather, or they would really be in trouble.

The convoy continued to drive north. Today, their goal was to directly reach their destination and spend the night there.

******

Mentang Town.

Today, it was much quieter here. Not a single survivor could be seen in the circle of life belts around the base.

The construction of the life belts was officially stopped.

After the abnormal appearance of the sun yesterday, staying outdoors for a long time might cause a large number of Green Origin personnel to die prematurely, even without the drought continuing to worsen.

Although Qin Jin didn't value their lives as much as those of the headquarters personnel, he didn't want them to disappear like this.

Buses carried materials needed for some manual labor to various large and small residential areas, so that those personnel could continue to have some work to do, to avoid completely idling and consuming the base's food for nothing.

The base at this time could be said to be in a state of disrepair, with not only construction projects but also many products being produced.

For example, the processing of some materials, the production of bullets, the manufacture of weapons, the sewing of protective gear, the sharpening of knives, and other miscellaneous work were actually all being carried out inside the base.

Now, it was just being outsourced to these lower-level personnel for processing.

The main base's bullet production had long reached a level of 100,000 rounds per day!

Some relatively simple firearms also possessed the ability to be self-made!

At the same time, research and production of other models such as heavy machine gun bullets and shells were also underway!

These highly dangerous things were placed in the newly built branch base factory for preliminary work, and then transported to the main base to be handed over to Dong Hui to arrange for personnel to carry out the final assembly and testing.

With the passage of time, the entire Green Origin Base had been continuously converting countless retrieved materials into strength!

That was why Qin Jin chose to take down the Red Cloud Base and the Yangcheng branch this time!

Currently, Fenghe County had been completely scoured, and even most of the material locations in the entire Guangyuan City that could manufacture ammunition and explosives had been skimmed by him.

Don't forget that he had made ample preparations before the apocalypse, investigating all the resource points near the base, and had been sending people to retrieve them during this time.

When these places were found, his eyes would inevitably be fixed on Shenzhen and Yangcheng, which were many times richer in resources!

These were the top two major cities in Guangdong Province, where countless large factories had once been stationed. Not only were there various rare materials, but also countless technological crystallization materials were waiting for him to excavate!

So what if there were many zombies?

With his continuous output of weapons, these zombies would surely become ghosts under Green Origin's guns!

"Pull these materials to the small residential area and hand them over to the Level 1 personnel for processing. After completion, someone will come to retrieve them."

Standing at the gate of the branch base, Wang Yang and Tang Jinming skillfully arranged for the personnel below to distribute the processing materials.

A group of people wearing tight sun protection clothing, dripping with sweat, directed the movement of various materials.

"After going to the small residential area, remember to tell them to work hard. We have surveillance cameras installed there. If anything happens, you can directly shout at the camera, and our headquarters will receive the message."

Those responsible for driving and transporting materials said they received the message.

That was not all. On the other side, some tightly dressed team members were also heading to the small residential area. They had another mission.

A mission targeting survivors outside the Green Origin Zone.

"First, make statistics to see how many people our small residential area can bear. I will make the final decision later!"

At the gate of the branch base, Qin Jin rarely came here and said to Wang Yang and Tang Jinming.

Last night, he had discussed with the base cadres about the handling of the survivors outside the Green Origin Zone, and now it was time to execute it.

The precursor to the drought had appeared, and it would become more and more serious later, so if he really wanted to do this, he had to deal with it in advance.

Not much time was left for either side.

Vehicles loaded with various materials began to drive to the 20 small residential areas, where there were team members who had received mission arrangements.

Today, a measure to save survivors outside the Green Origin Zone would be launched.

For the future expansion of the Green Origin Base.

There were still some people among these who were malleable and should be given the opportunity to survive and serve the base in the future.
