#514 - Chapter 514 Full Five
As evening approached.
Some of the level 2 personnel at the main base were also starting to finish their shifts, preparing to collect their meals and return to the large residential area to rest.
Production within the branch base was mostly indoors, so it couldn't be stopped, and level 2-3 personnel were still needed to work.
"Hey Xiao, I wonder what we're having tonight? I really want to eat that braised cabbage with oil from last night again, it even had some minced meat in it!"
Walking back to the dormitory, Green chatted with his companion, Xiao Ming, his face full of hope.
The meals at the branch base were generally better in the evening than at noon. Last night's was a relatively rare "big dish", mixed with a trace of frozen pork that the base had stored, which was well received by many base personnel.
"Who knows? Anyway, the evening meals won't be too bad, but there probably won't be any meat today. I heard they usually only have it every few days."
Xiao Ming replied to his old buddy with a smile.
Today, they were working in the construction area on the first underground floor of the branch base, and the conditions were much, much better than before in the life zone.
Not only were they not exposed to the sun here, but there were also exhaust fans for ventilation. Those of them who worked even wore masks and goggles, and they could have more rest time if they worked for a long time. It was a completely different level from before outside.
This showed that the base valued different levels of personnel differently.
Now, most of those who went to build the basement were men. Other women were said to have better places to go, doing things like assembly line manual work, and some planting vegetables, things that required skillful hands.
No one had any major complaints about this.
Men were more willing to give way to these women and children.
Children who didn't need to go to school also needed to participate in work.
"You go back first, I'll go to the security team management office over there to ask about the application for the external cooperation combat unit."
Xiao Ming suddenly said to his companion.
They had been in the branch base for two days, and he wanted to try to apply to join the external cooperation unit.
Green had no objections and planned to go back to the dormitory to wash up first.
******
Main Base.
Qin Jin, who was in his office.
Stood by the floor-to-ceiling window with a bit of doubt, he had just received a report from below.
This news made him feel a little surprised.
At this time, there was actually someone from the survival chat group who had joined before the apocalypse last year looking for them!?
Just at the edge of the Green Source Zone, a team member passed this message to the security team.
It was also a coincidence that one of the security team members on duty today had followed Li Bowen to the gas station in Longmen County to pick up Li Xu last year, so he knew some stories about the survival chat group.
The other party could say the nickname 'Qian Jin' and listed many of the nicknames of active members in the group before.
It seemed that someone from the group had indeed come to look for them this year.
"I'm quite busy here recently, so I don't have time to entertain you. Go to the small residential area first, and I'll let Li Xu take a look later."
That's how Qin Jin had arranged it.
He didn't immediately meet with the person just because he heard that it was someone from the survival group.
There was no need.
The promise from last year was half a year ago, and it was too late now.
Moreover, his situation was completely different from last year. He now influenced thousands of people.
It was very different from the situation last year when he only needed to manage less than a hundred people.
So, it was considered an extra favor for this group member to be able to enter the small residential area.
When he had time and was in the mood, he could let this person come over, or let Li Xu meet with him.
This matter came to a temporary end for him.
He stared at the sky that was already darkening at the horizon. Bowen and the others should have reached their destination by now, right?
He hoped they would get it done quickly and come back as soon as possible.
Today, the peak temperature outside was 2 degrees Celsius higher than yesterday!
The sunlight was even more unbearable.
If this trend continued, the temperature would continue to rise later.
The danger outside was greatly increased.
Alas.
There was nothing he could do, everything was too coincidental.
Edge of the Green Source Zone.
Next to the No. 7 small residential area, a male survivor standing by a motorcycle stood outside the wall, waiting for a response from the inside.
It was the survival group member who found the information at the gas station in Longmen County this morning!
In the afternoon, he followed the address left behind and started his motorcycle towards the target after the sun was less intense.
However.
Just as he approached Mentang Town, a surprising scene appeared.
He actually saw many survivors on the road, which was a rare sight recently!
Some of these people were going in the same direction as him, while others were coming back from there.
Out of curiosity, he tried to ask those people, selecting a group of men riding electric bikes from the other side, and the other party happily answered him:
"The Green Source Base over there is open today to receive women and children to enter their built shelter to survive the drought!"
There was such a good thing!?
The man's thoughts surged.
He walked from the north to the south, passing many survivor bases along the way, but most of them were tightly closed and unwilling to accept the refuge of foreign survivors at will.
Even if they accepted, they often had to pay with food, materials, or labor. They wouldn't be satisfied until they had peeled a layer of skin off the survivors.
With deeper doubts, he continued to ask the man what kind of place Green Source was.
The man he met was indeed in a good mood. He had just sent his wife and children to the small residential area to take refuge, so he continued to explain to him.
"So you are a survivor who just came here from afar? Then your luck is a little bad. Green Source opened for rescue today..."
Afterwards, the man he met began to tell him about the simple deeds of Green Source.
A few minutes later, the motorcycle man said goodbye to the group of men riding electric bikes home, and looked deeply towards Mentang Town.
"A little interesting."
He murmured.
The motorcycle man turned around and started driving towards there—
He naturally didn't know that the man he met who gave him the explanation was called Pan Wei, who had just sent his wife, children, and the women of his team to the Green Source small residential area to survive.
If it were normal, Pan Wei would not have been in the mood to say so much to a stranger.
Everything was fate.
Later, he came here, intending to inquire about information about 'Qian Jin'.
If he guessed correctly, that 'Qian Jin' was very likely a member of this Green Source base!
It's just that he didn't have much hope, after all, it had been so long and there were so many people here, it was difficult for anyone to really recognize a person's online name.
As expected, after he found the closest small residential area, he did see some people registering, and immediately reported the information about finding someone and asked if he could join here for temporary residence.
Unsurprisingly, he received a negative answer.
The staff certainly couldn't make an exception for a survivor who had never traded and came for the first time.
Just as the motorcycle man was about to leave, an unexpected scene occurred.
"Wait!"
"Our base above said that you can enter the small residential area first, do you still want to join?"
Oh ho!?
What about not opening the door to exceptions for survivors who come for the first time???
Sorry.
The powerful can just do whatever they want. ^.^
"Please let me in."
The motorcycle man was surprised for a moment, but he did not refuse to enter the high-walled shelter.
It was going to be dark outside, and if he didn't go in, he would need to find a place to spend the night quickly. Since there was a place that looked safe here, and there was the endorsement of the man he met earlier.
His impression of this place was still good.
Let's go in.
Why not?
He could also take the opportunity to visit this Green Source base that he had heard a little bit of magic about just now.
"Okay, if you want to go in, please register your identity and occupation information here."
The motorcycle man did not hesitate and signed his name on the form that was handed over.
Man Wu!
