#540 - Chapter 540: Watching Movies for Leisure
August 15th.
Another two days passed.
Mentang Town.
Here at the Green Source Base headquarters.
After such a long drought, today at the main base, the leader announced a holiday for the core combat team members!
The core combat team members were the people who had been with Qin Jin since the beginning of the apocalypse. Now, taking advantage of the absence of any external missions, Qin Jin decided to organize some recreational activities for them!
In the main base's office building, thirty core combat team members were in the conference room, comfortably enjoying the air conditioning, drinks, and a movie!
Except for Zhang Tiankai, who was far away in Zhushi, and his team of seven or eight members, the rest of the main base's combat team members were here!
Yes!
This afternoon, Qin Jin had arranged a movie-watching activity for everyone!
Inside the conference room, the thirty members found their seats and watched the screen intently.
Moreover, Qin Jin had prepared a zombie movie for everyone today.
"Tsk tsk! I've seen this one before! The protagonists in it are too stupid! They have drones, such good things, but they don't use them, and they always run into dark buildings alone to find supplies. Isn't that just asking for death!?"
Zhong Yu held a string of grapes grown at the base in his right hand and a glass of iced drink in his left.
He ate a grape and took a sip of the drink from time to time, feeling extremely comfortable.
At the same time, he didn't forget to occasionally comment on the plot of the movie.
It was a story about a city in a modern country that suddenly experienced a zombie outbreak overnight, and then the male protagonist slowly met some like-minded companions and survived in the apocalypse.
It was somewhat similar to their current situation, but the situation in the movie was much better than theirs.
The zombies in the movie were the type that could run, but didn't have abnormal strength, and there were no mutated zombies. They basically only chased survivors by smell and sound, making them quite easy to deal with.
"Those kinds of zombies? I can take on ten of them by myself!"
Liu Qing also held a glass of iced Red Bull, took a sip, and nonchalantly expressed his bravery.
These core combat team members had experienced all kinds of hardships and were accustomed to countless life-and-death situations.
Liu Qing was confident that he could easily deal with a group of those slow zombies in the movie, who only reached out to pounce, with his training, protective gear, and weapons!
That's how confident he was!
"Don't say that. This movie still has some reference value. For example, these people can find safe houses in the city and assemble weapons from daily necessities, which are all worth learning from."
Li Bowen rarely commented.
Although he also felt that the zombies in the movie were utter garbage, as a strength evolutionist, he didn't even need to use thermal weapons. Give him a large machete, and he could probably kill these zombies and make seven in and seven out!
Too weak.
Or rather, they were too professional.
Having experienced the apocalypse in Blue Star China, he believed that the current real-world difficulties were simply incomparable to those in the movie.
Some of the members hadn't seen this movie before and were watching it with great interest.
Putting themselves in the situation, they could imagine how to wreak havoc in it.
"Indeed, the survivors in the movie are too brain-dead. There are many operations that are completely unnecessary. They can use more direct and efficient methods to deal with it, instead of sacrificing teammates."
Many members expressed their opinions while watching.
"You also know it's a movie. They definitely have to create some drama. If no one dies and a few idiots are brought out to lighten the mood, how can the protagonist's strength and wit be shown?"
This statement was approved by most people.
That's how movies are. In order to attract the audience's attention, they always have to add some tricks to the plot to make the audience enjoy it.
"Do you think that if we made a movie about our usual mission experiences, would it be better than this one!? I feel that our professionalism is not bad either. Killing such powerful zombies is just a breeze. I feel that the audience would like it!"
Yao Lei, the female member, also chimed in and felt that the people in these combat teams were more watchable than those in the movie.
"I think so too. What kind of society is it now? The audience isn't stupid, okay! Always making it so brain-dead will lose the audience's favor. I think our style of doing things decisively and directly will also be liked by the audience!"
Sun Xiaolong, a member who often went on missions but hadn't been mentioned by name for a long time, also agreed with Yao Lei's words.
Times have changed.
The Qing Dynasty is long gone.
The members in the conference room echoed this view, and everyone felt that their way of doing things would win more movie box office.
Qin Jin watched them discuss while watching with a smile, but he didn't interrupt to say anything.
Just as his members said, dealing with zombies should be decisive and ruthless. If they were like the people in the movie, unless they had the legendary protagonist halo, they wouldn't have enough lives to die.
He picked up a glass of passion fruit juice specially made for him by Zhao Ling. It contained a lot of nuts and pulp, mixed with a little honey and ice. The cool taste immediately took away a lot of summer heat after entering his mouth.
A summer retreat product.
Recently, Zhao Ling didn't have so much work to do and seemed to have spent more energy on her personal cooking skills. The things she made for him were getting better and better.
Acceptable.
Anyway, he was the one enjoying it.
There were no emergencies today, so he found these closest buddies to engage in recreational activities.
If it wasn't too hot outside, he would have liked to go fishing and play basketball with his team members.
Due to practicality, the base didn't consider building an indoor stadium at the time. It wasn't the time yet, and it would probably take a long time to build. It wasn't luxurious to that extent yet.
Therefore, during this period when the drought prevented them from going out, these members would play table tennis in the base after training, or go to the library to read books, or stay at home to play games and watch TV.
Of course, the necessary training would never be neglected.
As the top group of people in the base, their lives were not much different from those in peacetime.
This was also why they cherished and supported the boss so much.
Who would dislike living too well and give up a good life to others?
Impossible.
There may be holy mothers, but they will not stay in the Green Source Base.
"Di Di Di Di—"
Suddenly, Qin Jin's personal walkie-talkie rang. Without hesitation, he answered, and the voice of his uncle Qin Guoqiang, the head of the base's security force, came from inside.
"A'Jin! Some things happened, I want to find you to take a look!"
"Today, some survivors came to Green Source from outside seeking help, saying that many people outside were killed with their stomachs cut open! A lot of them!"
