#546 - Chapter 546 Learn to Cherish
Night.
Sector 7 Small Habitation Area.
Pan Xing groggily woke up.
He felt extremely dizzy and his whole body was weak, barely able to muster any strength.
Lying on the ground on a straw mat that served as his sickbed, he struggled to open his eyes.
“A-Wei! Look quickly! A-Xing is responding! He’s awake!”
A slightly familiar voice reached his ears. Pan Xing's muddled brain thought for a moment and remembered that it seemed to be his sister-in-law's voice.
That's right.
I braved the scorching sun to come to the Green Source Habitation Area for help this morning. I had just finished telling the security guard when I fainted. Afterwards, I vaguely felt my sister-in-law and nephew crying by my side, and then it seemed like someone fed me medicine and gave me an injection.
Someone saved him?
Also!
Just now, my sister-in-law seemed to have mentioned the name A-Wei, isn't that my brother's name!?
A-Wei?
My brother is saved!?
Only then did Pan Xing react. He tried hard to open his eyes and look around the dimly lit room. He saw several figures excitedly looking at him, including his sister-in-law's face, and another face that belonged to his brother who had held back the bad guys to let him escape!
“Brother!”
Weak but excited, Pan Xing wanted to sit up with force, but he didn't have enough strength to complete the action.
It was Pan Wei who helped him up.
“It’s okay! It’s okay! We all survived! Thank God!”
As the older brother, Pan Wei hugged his younger brother, sobbing with red eyes.
Today, he was only a hair's breadth away from death. If the people from Green Source hadn't arrived in time, he would probably be a pile of rubble by now.
And his younger brother, who ran here to report the news, exhausting himself to the point of being half-dead. Fortunately, the base sent people over to rescue him with medicine, otherwise he could have been declared dead as well.
The two men of their Pan family almost left this world ahead of time.
At this moment, Pan Wei's heart was both excited and fearful, feeling powerless about the experiences of himself and his family.
In the apocalypse, survivors without background or strength are like reeds in the wind, drifting and uncertain. A slightly larger storm could be their end.
The two brothers, embracing each other, quickly calmed down, occasionally exchanging a few words, recounting their previous dangers and escapes from death.
Many women around them sighed after hearing about the family's experiences.
They had been allowed to enter the Small Habitation Area for refuge some time ago thanks to Green Source's kindness.
If they hadn't come in, many of the women in the room would probably have been captured by those terrifying cannibals to be used as water bags and rations!
Because compared to men, women and children are definitely more valuable and controllable resources...
There was no doubt that those cannibals couldn't find women and children, so they would target other male survivors...
“This world is too terrifying.”
Many girls in the room felt a sense of empathy, shocked by the harsh environment outside.
Human lives were as cheap as dirt.
Even with the reputation of Green Source deterring them, once a major disaster occurred, those desperate villains would still ignore the rules and reach out their hands to do whatever they wanted. Without strong strength, they could only be slaughtered.
At this moment, everyone in the room felt a strong desire to stay here!
Only by truly joining Green Source could they be considered safe!
Even the outermost Small Habitation Area had high walls to block the dangers outside, and there were constant guards on duty to bring peace to the people inside.
“Sister Yu! We must stay here!”
The girl who had painted her face black to avoid being targeted by others shouted firmly.
The mature, tall woman beside her didn't look back at her, but continued to stare at the family who had escaped death.
Yes, she also wanted to stay here!
“Yes, we will definitely stay here!”
She seemed to be saying to her companion, but she was actually telling herself.
The women present had similar thoughts in their hearts, and had never been so determined to truly join Green Source Base!
“If there’s nothing else, you two can go to the level 1 personnel residence over there first. The base cadres have temporarily allowed you to rest here and wait for further arrangements. This is the women's area, so you can't live here for a long time.”
The management personnel arranged here by Green Source saw that Pan Xing had woken up and began to carry out the tasks assigned by the headquarters.
These two brothers were only allowed to enter the Small Habitation Area due to a special event, which did not mean that they could live there for a long time. The specific decision would depend on the headquarters.
Pan Wei and Pan Xing, who had been reminiscing for a while, did not insist. They had already earned a life today, so how dare they harbor their own little thoughts.
As long as they were alive, there was still hope, so they should just listen obediently.
Night.
Today, the news about cannibals hunting and killing survivors among the survivors brought by Green Source spread throughout the base and surrounding areas. The headquarters sent people to fly around the Green Source area in airships to broadcast propaganda, reminding all survivors living outside to pay more attention.
Lock your doors and windows when you go to bed at night. Don't think that there is only the danger of zombies, but also pay attention to the danger from those desperate survivors.
“Hiss—too scary! Have you heard!? A few days ago, a group of cannibals sneaked into the Green Source area and killed many survivors! The scene was so bloody! It’s simply indescribable!”
“Yes, yes! I heard that there is a shortage of water outside now, so those cannibals simply set their sights on their fellow humans! They directly eat meat and drink blood! They are simply more evil than demons!”
In those Small Habitation Areas, almost everyone who heard the news felt a chill down their spines.
Fortunately, they had already joined the Small Habitation Area here, with high walls to block those terrifying cannibals out.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to sleep well at night.
“I heard that the headquarters has sent people to find that group of cannibals today! Tsk tsk, they actually ran to such a far place as Dragon Gate County. I guess they all thought the base couldn't catch them, right!? Then they probably peed their pants when they saw those suddenly descending armed forces, haha.”
The incident happened quickly today and ended quickly as well.
The base did not hide anything, and distributed the general process of the matter to every part of the base so that everyone would know.
This would allow all personnel to understand how bad and terrifying the outside world is now.
Not only is there a shortage of food and water, but they must also face the knives that those unkind villains stab in the back at any time.
Compared to them, who have been given shelter, it is simply a world of difference.
This move naturally had the meaning of stabilizing morale while also knocking on the heads of some people in the Small Habitation Area.
Telling them.
Even if they can't eat their fill here, it is already a treatment that outsiders can't get even if they begged for it.
They must learn to cherish it.
