#554 - Chapter 554: Full Soldier Enters the Sub-base

Wu City.

Mountain-Style New Hope Base.

The weather here isn't much different from Guangnan Province; it's over sixty degrees Celsius in the sun during the day, and indoors it's above forty degrees.

Whether they are powerful survivors or just wandering individuals, no one dares to go out and court death in this weather.

However.

The New Hope Base has been doing relatively well recently.

Because they accidentally discovered an underground river while digging downwards inside the mountain some time ago!

"Heaven bless the New Hope Base!"

"That's great! I heard that the New Hope Base is generously distributing water! All survivors who come to ask for help can receive their gift, and only need to serve them for one year afterwards!"

"One year is too short! As long as you give me water to drink, I'm willing to work for them for ten years!"

Countless survivors, parched and desperate for water upon hearing the news, rushed here to beg for water!

The New Hope Base, possessing nearly unlimited water resources, accepted them all!

They didn't even need the meager supplies from those penniless survivors, only their service for one year after the drought ended.

During that year, the New Hope Base would venture out into those fallen cities, killing zombies and reclaiming everything that originally belonged to humanity!

The survivors went crazy upon hearing this slogan!

Just like the name of the New Hope Base, they are the hope for the future of mankind!

Of course, there are quite a few forces that possess a large amount of water resources like the New Hope Base.

Some forces found well-drilling tools and, with the guidance of knowledgeable personnel, successfully dug out underground water.

Some forces were originally located near large rivers, and stored a large amount of water before the drought arrived.

Everyone is using their own methods to survive in the apocalypse.

The most miserable are mostly those scattered survivors, without strong logistical support or reliance, they can only explore extremely limited areas, resulting in the loss of more survival possibilities.

Survivors living in many places began to run out of water and food two months after the drought began!

Yun City.

A city near Guangyuan City, in a certain building.

Five or six survivors live here.

After the apocalypse, they quickly formed a small team to band together for survival, relying on food and supplies found outside to survive until now.

Merely.

Recently they are facing a huge life and death test.

"Old Yang, can't you really find a single drop of water outside, and can't you borrow any water!?"

"Please, think of a way to save my wife! She hasn't had water for two days after suffering from heatstroke, and she's about to die!!"

A gaunt man begged the leader of their small group with a face full of pleading.

Their water source had been drunk up two or three days ago.

In the past two days, they had ventured out to many places to find water, but unfortunately, they still found nothing. All the original small rivers and streams had dried up, and not a single drop of water could be squeezed out of the riverbeds.

There's really no way.

"I also want to save your wife, but there's really no water! I and the others have searched all possible places around and can't see any!"

"The last resort is to seek help from those forces, but the hope is probably not great. I heard that most forces are also shrinking and not receiving outside survivors."

"It's too hot outside, they rarely go out, and there are few forces willing to talk to us."

The leader of this small group is a middle-aged man around forty years old. They all live in the same community, so they quickly banded together for survival after the apocalypse.

Unlike other survivors who took refuge in various forces, they chose to stay in small cities to survive on their own.

Without the exploitation of those large forces, they can use the supplies they obtain on themselves.

At least they can eat a little more than those force-type survivors who have to hand in part of their supplies for safety.

The disadvantage is that they will be more dangerous outside.

On the one hand, there are zombies rampant under non-special circumstances, and on the other hand, there are those ferocious survivors.

Eating big chunks of meat is no longer a legend, it has long been spread in many places.

Even in their Yun City, it is said that there used to be a cannibal gathering point called the Slaughterhouse, but it was later smashed by someone.

"Let your wife hold on for a while, later the water collection device we set up should be able to harvest one or two hundred milliliters of water, and then give it to your wife to drink first."

The leader could only say this.

As a modern person, he has naturally watched many wilderness survival and shipwrecked movies, and knows how to use the day and night temperature difference to obtain a small amount of water.

Although not much, it is the most common way for most survivors to obtain water at this time.

"If the drought doesn't end later, we have to consider seeking help from other large forces around, if this continues, we wild survivors will all be thirsty to death."

"Those forces have so much water but refuse to take it out to save people!? I heard that many people are preparing to team up to attack those bases and shelters!"

"Do as you see fit, tomorrow I plan to join those people and try my luck outside the largest forces around."

After speaking, the leader turned and went back to rest.

Hearing this, the thin man didn't bother the leader anymore.

He knew that the man had already tried his best, and being able to promise to give a little more water was already the final concession.

He prepared to walk back to his unconscious wife's side and continue to take care of his wife who had heatstroke.

Most of the survivors who fainted and fell down in the drought were due to heatstroke and heatstroke.

After all, the indoor temperature during the day is more than forty degrees Celsius, and even at night it is thirty-seven or eight degrees Celsius, it is very easy to be affected when the long-term drinking water is insufficient.

And most people can't possibly have medicine.

They can die at any time.

Death also means zombification.

All survivors will pay close attention to the companions around them who are in the wrong state, once there are signs of going to be finished, then no matter how reluctant, they need to take that step.

The thin man looked at his loved one lying on the bed with a distressed face, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes.

Perhaps.

He is also about to take this step.

The entire Blue Star is experiencing this drought caused by geomagnetic changes, and no one can be an exception.

It's just that everyone is resisting with different methods.

Some people live a hard and desperate life.

Some people live a comfortable and stable life.

Mentang Town.

Outside the Luyuan Branch Base.

Man Wu looked in shock at the deep ditch dug out by the Life Belt project that had not yet been completed, and the amazingly high giant city next to it, stretching for hundreds of meters.

"This... is this the headquarters of the Luyuan Base!?"

He swallowed his saliva, shocked by the scene he saw.

Because Li Xu applied to Qin Jin for people yesterday, today the base directly sent team members to pick up this person specially named by Captain Li to the branch base to go through the check-in procedures.

Man Wu, who had been living in Small Living Area 7, could not imagine that the headquarters of Luyuan would be so terrifying!

In his mind, in less than a year after the apocalypse, it would be very good to build a base that exceeds some of the small living area.

A group that can build something like the Large Living Area he just saw can already become a famous force entrenched in one area.

He wandered from the north to here, and has also seen forces with nearly 20-meter walls that can accommodate hundreds or thousands of people.

It can already be called a small overlord!

He has wandered for so long from the north to the south, and the number of bases of this scale he has seen does not exceed five fingers.

As a result, buildings of this scale are not called headquarters here in Luyuan, but only large living areas where peripheral personnel live!

And their headquarters is even beyond Man Wu's imagination limit!

"We're here, let's go inside the isolation area and wait for a while, you can naturally go in after enough time."

The base personnel responsible for the pick-up looked at the shocked person with a good mood.

He naturally did not dare to offend the survivors that the upper level of the base specifically ordered to bring over.

But it doesn't delay him from enjoying the dazed look of these people when they first see the headquarters of Luyuan.

It's very fulfilling, isn't it.

Man Wu entered the isolation area in shock, and saw the sunshades covering the sky and the occasional wary gazes from the walls.

The strictness here is no less than that of a military camp!
