#56 - Chapter 56: Exclamation and News

Mentang Town.

Green Source Base.

It was already close to dusk.

The teams that went out to find supplies had returned to the base for rest.

During this period, the combat teams went out every day, but they never stayed out overnight.

After all, nowhere was safer than their own base.

The zombies that came out at night were not to be trifled with.

Qin Jin was inspecting today's harvest in a warehouse.

Today, he had people pull back a lot of new steel materials from a nearby steel factory.

The remaining inventory had been almost exhausted by the previous wall repairs, so it needed to be replenished.

In rapidly developing China, the least lacking thing was building materials.

Before the end of the world, many construction projects were underway, and even every city had many building materials factories.

Naturally, there were some around the Green Source Base, and only the combat team and the base's personnel needed to help with the transportation.

In the past few days, not only had a lot of building materials been transported back, but also several excavators, bulldozers, small tower cranes, mixers and other machinery had been transported back to the base from outside.

Future construction could be carried out more conveniently.

Just as he was observing the supplies, one of the walkie-talkies on his waist suddenly transmitted a voice:

"President Qin! President Qin! This is Li Bowen's team, we just came back and are in the isolation area, we brought back a person from the gas station you specified."

Oh?

Qin Jin was suddenly a little curious.

His previous casual act seemed to have really caught a fish?

Driven by curiosity, he put down the inspection here and turned to go to the isolation area at the gate, wanting to meet this person who was suspected to be from the doomsday survival group.

Li Bowen's team, after leaving the gas station, they did not delay and rushed back to the base all the way, the 60-kilometer journey took them less than two hours to return to the base.

Don't underestimate this speed, you must know that the outside world is different from the past, there are obstacles everywhere on the road and occasional zombies, and even some survivors have begun to rob passing vehicles.

Being able to run thirty to fifty kilometers in an hour is also due to the power of the Green Source combat team's vehicles.

Facing some lighter and smaller obstacles, there is no need to detour or get off the car, you can slowly push them away, and small groups of zombies can be ignored, just hit them directly.

At this time, Li Bowen's team was staying in the isolation area. Since it had not been ten minutes yet, they were not allowed to enter the base. He had already sent a message to the boss, and there should be nothing else for him to do later.

Li Xu had also woken up early. After some rescue at noon, the wound on his head had stopped bleeding long ago. After resting and eating something, he could walk on the ground except for a slight dizziness in his head.

Now he was standing inside the isolation area, staring at the towering walls around him, his mouth wide open, like a bumpkin who had never seen anything before.

When he was approaching the base just now, he was still in the back of the car, so he had not seen the outer walls of Green Source. After the car stopped in the isolation area and he was notified that he had arrived at the base, he realized that he had come to the residence of this group of people.

As a result, after getting out of the car, he realized that he was standing in a strange place, where he could see the sky above, but there were walls surrounding him, one of which was more than ten meters high!

The entire space was oval, with an area of ​​estimated several hundred square meters, and it did not seem crowded even after nearly ten cars were parked.

The two front and rear doors were closed. One of them seemed to be the one they came in from, and he didn't know what the other door was for.

He was a little curious, was the residence of this group of people just such an open place?

There wasn't even a ceiling?

Was it so simple?

There was a small iron house in the isolation area for special situations, and it was usually a bit empty.

On the wall, you could see a duty room, which could be used to observe the outside world and the situation inside the isolation area.

At this time, there were two people in this sentry box-like duty room on guard with guns.

Li Xu was not curious for long.

Perhaps it was time for the ten-minute observation period. Li Bowen shouted to the team member on the wall who was responsible for observing the isolation area. After the team member saluted to confirm the response, the door leading to the inside of the base was opened.

After opening the door, what came into view were several people, standing at the door seeming to be waiting for them.

Li Bowen greeted them and walked to the man in the middle who was about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a white shirt, with bright eyes, above-average appearance, but with a compelling aura, and whispered something.

Not long after.

The man nodded, gave a few instructions to Li Bowen who had saved him, and the latter shouted to the other team members to drive into the base.

The man walked unhurriedly to Li Xu, who had been brought back to the base today.

He stared straight at him, seeming to be observing something.

Li Xu only felt that he was caught in a strange aura. He originally had countless curious questions to ask, but at this moment he didn't know what to say.

Looking at the man who was a little taller than himself, his mouth was slightly open and his mind was a little blank.

This man was of course Qin Jin.

He had just learned about the situation from Bowen and came over to see his online friend after he had some understanding.

He didn't expect that the first time in his life he would meet an online friend in such a scene.

Looking at Li Xu who was staring at him blankly.

He smiled and took the initiative to start a chat and said:

"Hello, I am the boss here, my name is Qin Jin, I am the "Forward" in the doomsday survival group, I am very happy to meet you."

After saying that, he also took the initiative to extend his right hand.

Li Xu suddenly woke up from his dream.

He hurriedly stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party. He had just heard that the person in front of him was the "Forward"!!

"I have been looking for you so hard! I finally met you!"

He excitedly shook Qin Jin's tightly held right hand.

These days of being alone, living in fear, were really extremely torturous. At any time, a little disturbance would cause fright, fearing that monsters would appear around him.

Now he finally seemed to have found an organization!

Although the other party had not explicitly stated anything, he had no choice!

He had to hold on to this thick thigh!

"Forward, um, no, Qin Jin, um, I'll still learn from them and call you President Qin, I am the group leader "Skywalker" in the doomsday survival group! I am very happy to meet you! I am also very grateful to your people for saving me today, if there is anything you can use me for in the future, please be sure to not be polite!"

Li Xu sold himself to this place on the spot.

Although he was not clear about the details here, he had also chatted with the team members who took care of him during the day and knew that this group of people seemed to be not bad, at least they did not have some bad habits that he could not accept.

Qin Jin released his right hand.

He smiled and patted Li Xu on the shoulder, nodded, and accepted his surrender.

He didn't expect that his casual act at that time would attract the group leader of the doomsday group.

He had an impression that this group leader had given him a lot of useful design inspirations at that time, and he had consulted the other party on some aspects of the base's construction ideas at that time.

In addition, he had originally invited people over, and the first impression of the meeting was not bad, so he would naturally accept the other party.

Besides, he believed that the other party must still have some bright spots.

Maybe he could continue to add bricks and tiles to the construction of the base.

Immediately, he began to take Li Xu to visit the Green Source Base.

It was also the first time for Li Xu to walk into this place that he had imagined many times.

As soon as he entered the door.

What came into view was a wide open space, with all kinds of cars parked on the left and right sides, the number of which was too many to count. Some were parked under warehouses built of iron sheets, and some were placed in the open air.

Further away were various buildings. Many buildings looked like warehouses or factories, not like multi-story buildings. There were also many buildings, but they were not very high, basically three to five stories.

At this time, many people were coming and going, wondering what they were busy with.

Occasionally, they cast curious glances at them, and quickly shifted their gazes after seeing the boss next to him, as if they were very afraid of this President Qin next to him.

Qin Jin briefly told Li Xu about the situation, and Wang Yang rushed over.

This person had almost become Qin Jin's full-time housekeeper, and he was responsible for receiving new people every time. At this time, he heard Li Bowen mention that there was a new person, so he hurried over.

Qin Jin then handed Li Xu over to Wang Yang to handle, and he had other things to do later.

Seeing that the boss seemed to attach great importance to this newcomer, Wang Yang did not dare to neglect.

He politely introduced some information that could be told to Li Xu in detail, and also arranged for him to stay in the employee dormitory in the base.

Li Xu received countless new information in a daze.

He also had a general understanding of the situation here.

Now he only felt that he had come to the right place!

This place was great!

Completely different from the chaos outside, this was completely a new small society, and most things were in order, just with one more person in charge.

Or rather, that President Qin was the local emperor here.

He had returned to the dormitory that Wang Yang had prepared for him, which was a small single room.

Although it was not as luxurious as the villa he used to live in, the sense of security was incomparable!

For a time, he was full of longing for a new life.

As for handing Li Xu over to Wang Yang, Qin Jin came to a building in the base.

This was a building that was specially remodeled later, and it was specially used to store some things that were not very useful or were about to be discarded.

It could also be called a spare garbage storage room.

On the first floor here, several rooms were also built.

At this time, Kun Ge and the others who had been brought back were locked up here.

They were hooded on the way, and they didn't know where they were now.

They only knew that they seemed to have arrived somewhere. After the car stopped, they were driven out of the car, and after walking for a while, they were taken off their hoods, and then they realized that they were in such a relatively empty room.

There was a light tube on the ceiling, and there were no windows around. There was a ventilation fan, and there seemed to be only one door to enter and exit.

At the entrance, there was a table with some things on it, covered by a cloth, and they didn't know what was inside.

There were also two people standing in front of them, staring at them.

"Boss, these are the people we met at the gas station today."

The speaker was the extremely ferocious man in the eyes of Kun Ge and the others, Li Bowen.

The other man next to him was Qin Jin.

At this time, he nodded, indicating that he had heard Li Bowen's words.

When he came back just now, he had briefly narrated the general course of the matter, and knew that this group of people was planning to rob Li Xu's things and leave, but they were a bit unlucky and were left behind by the combat team.

Perhaps their luck would not be so bad later.

The fierce man in the eyes of Kun Ge and the others was respectfully giving way to another man, which made them guess that this person's status might be higher, and their freedom or even their lives were in the hands of the other party.

"This boss, sir! We really didn't do it on purpose, we were just blinded by greed and accidentally hurt your people, please give us a chance, we can do anything!"

Kun Ge took the lead in begging for mercy.

He had completely lost the air of strategizing before, and the companions next to him followed suit and quickly begged for mercy, hoping that they could feel better next.

"Let Gao Qiang and Jun Chi come in."

Qin Jin shouted outside the door, and then Gao Qiang and Chen Jun Chi, who had been waiting outside the door, came in.

As for the reason for coming in, of course, it was because they heard that the two of them had fairly good interrogation skills.

Recently, some people who didn't have long eyes wanted to rob them when they went out, and the consequence was that they were cleaned up by them. Gao Qiang and Chen Jun Chi showed a few tricks.

Very easily.

Kun Ge and the others did not make any resistance and cooperated very well to spit out all the information they knew, and they didn't even need to interrogate these people separately.

Because most of the information was not that important.

Only one piece of information made Qin Jin slightly more concerned, that was that this group of people was planning to rush to a survivor gathering area in Wancheng.

It was not too surprising, because there were too many bases formed by such survivor gatherings in his previous life, and he had been to many of them himself.

He didn't expect that there were already forces taking shape only a few days after the end of the world.

He had prepared a lot earlier than that to have the current scale. He didn't know how others were developing now.

If there was a chance, he could learn about that shelter.
