#561 - Chapter 561: Hot Pot
"Cousin, where have you been all this time!? How did you become like this now?"
Xia Zizhou couldn't help but ask Zhong Yu.
He was really curious about his cousin's experiences after the apocalypse.
Could it be that he became a super awesome main character after the apocalypse broke out?
That would be too lucky and amazing, right!?
Seeing his cousin's expectant gaze, and the equally curious survivors around him, Zhong Yu didn't keep them in suspense.
"I've always been in Guangyuan City."
"Since the apocalypse, I've been working for my boss. Our place is developing pretty well. I came out today to find something because of some things that happened, and I just happened to run into you."
"My boss is the real deal. I'm just an employee."
"Our place is called Green Source Base."
What!?
"Green Source Base!?"
Hearing his cousin's words, Xia Zizhou and many of the survivors nearby exclaimed in surprise!
These people are actually from Green Source Base!
They had been hearing rumors about this place for some time now,
either destroying some force in Shenzhen, or wiping out a large base in Yangcheng.
They were practically synonymous with executioners!
Xia Zizhou was even more stunned.
He had thought of many possibilities.
But he didn't expect that his cousin was actually from that rumored base!
When they were bored, they would often chat about outside intelligence, such as which bases liked to charge fees, which shelters had good benefits, and so on.
Recently, this force called Green Source was naturally the main topic of their idle chats among these independent survivors.
He never imagined that the cousin who suddenly appeared today was actually from there!
"Don't be surprised yet. After we finish our business, come back with me. You'll be even more surprised when you see our base."
Zhong Yu pinched his cousin's arm in a good mood, feeling how thin he was. There was no doubt that he had suffered outside these days.
He had already seen several team members walking towards this side.
After reporting a few words to him, he learned that the inside of this small and medium-sized industrial area had been cleared.
Except for some survivors staying here, there wasn't even a shadow of a zombie in other places.
The dismantling and transportation work had already begun.
The airship's carrying capacity was limited, and with the people and supplies they brought out, they could only carry about ten tons of equipment in total.
They could only dismantle the most important parts, and the rest could only be left here to wait for future needs.
Seeing his cousin arranging and directing those people in an orderly manner, Xia Zizhou felt even more that his cousin was extraordinary.
Awesome!
Compared to being displaced outside, following his cousin was undoubtedly the best choice.
But...
He looked at the classmates and companions beside him, who were all looking at him with envy, as if they felt that he was about to leave the team and go far away.
A feeling of reluctance arose.
These were all companions who had been together, relying on each other for survival since the end of the world.
Gathering his courage, Xia Zizhou approached Zhong Yu after seeing him finish arranging the work and asked:
"Um... Brother, can you also take my classmates and companions with you... They are all from the same university as me and have been good friends who have survived together until now..."
As he said this, he felt that he was being a bit too much.
There were a full ten of them. If they were all absorbed into the Green Source Base, his cousin would probably be under pressure, right?
Hearing this, Zhong Yu really frowned.
But what he was considering was not what Xia Zizhou thought.
If all these people were absorbed into the base, it would indeed be a bit too many. A branch base was naturally impossible, and at most they would be arranged to live in a small residential area.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. He seemed to remember that his cousin had said what university he went to?
"Are all of you college students? Zizhou, what are your majors?"
This was very important. The base was currently lacking talents. If they were suitable, then there would be no problem bringing them back.
Xia Zizhou looked at his other companions and then replied to his cousin.
"I used to study at Yangcheng Agricultural University. These are all my classmates. Some of them didn't have the same major as me before. We gradually came together to survive later."
"We have all kinds of majors, including chemical engineering, planting, information technology, and so on."
Agricultural University!
Zhong Yu's eyes lit up!
This was great!
He had long forgotten what school this cousin used to go to.
They hadn't gotten together to play for several years after starting work. Only his parents occasionally mentioned that this cousin had been admitted to a good university in Yangcheng.
He didn't expect it to be Yangcheng, or even the most famous agricultural university in the entire Guangnan Province!
Ah Jin would definitely be happy for these people to join.
"Not bad! Then all of you come back with me."
"But I can't guarantee that everyone can get good treatment. Our place is very realistic. Those who are capable can live well, and those who are not capable will be kicked out."
Zhong Yu simply said a few words to them, which was considered to have decided that he would pick them up on the way back later.
Great!
These students couldn't help but clap their hands, celebrate, hug, and cry!
They could also join the Green Source Base!
Seeing these armed men, the huge airship outside, and the deeds of this force that had been rumored before.
Their future life would undoubtedly be many times better than it is now!
Finally, everyone had someone to rely on!
Xia Zizhou was also very happy. If he had to leave these companions who had relied on each other for survival for nearly a year, he would definitely feel very reluctant.
As long as they could enter his cousin's place, it wouldn't matter even if they weren't in the same place.
He heard that it was extremely safe there and had places to work. As long as you worked hard and obtained a certain qualification level, you could even eat your fill!
Just thinking about it was very promising!
Since the end of the world, the countless shadows floating over their heads had disappeared, and they were now only looking forward to going to the rumored Green Source Base as soon as possible.
Compared to these students who were happily celebrating, the other survivors nearby were so envious that they were about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.
They also really wanted to join!
These people actually took out priceless food at will, and everyone was carrying weapons.
And the situation of the Green Source Base that the leader briefly introduced, everything was full of extreme temptation!
"Um... Zizhou, we've known each other... we can be considered companions, can you tell your brother to let me join too!? I can do anything! As long as you give me a job opportunity to have food and water, I'll do anything!"
Among the survivors, someone couldn't help but approach Xia Zizhou and plead in a low voice.
They also really wanted to join!
They were about to starve and die of thirst. If they could join with these students, it would undoubtedly be considered climbing a high branch!
For a time.
Xia Zizhou became a sweet pastry in the eyes of those survivors.
