#567 - Chapter 567 Waiting for the Main Course
Tonight was destined to be a night of unease for Green Source.
After leaving the laboratory, Qin Jin returned to his office and took out the various weapons and inventory information produced by the base recently.
Seeing the pleasing data, row by row and column by column, he finally felt a little relieved.
What was there to fear from another zombie horde?
Under his powerful firepower, they would still become true亡魂 (w亡魂 - literally 'dead souls', meaning completely annihilated).
The Green Source base headquarters at this time was already very different from the past.
Not to mention the tall walls, there was also the life zone that was half-built, as well as more personnel, and countless newly produced guns, bullets, and explosives.
There were also helicopters and drones that had been restored to use.
The base at this time was definitely in some kind of heyday!
What if another large zombie horde of hundreds of thousands like before came again!?
If they dared to come, he would dare to kill!
After nightfall.
The personnel defending the small residential area and the large residential area discovered that something was wrong.
"What's going on? Why are so many zombies running towards the headquarters tonight? Is it because there are more people there?"
On the wall of the No. 12 small residential area.
Several personnel on night duty were surprised to see many zombie figures running past the wall of their small residential area, and couldn't help but wonder.
Everyone already knew that the drought had ended and the zombies had made a comeback in the past few days.
Everyone didn't feel too surprised.
This situation was completely predictable.
Without the influence of high temperatures and terrible sunlight, those ghosts would definitely come out like before.
Therefore, most personnel have been taking precautions when going out during the day these past two days.
In addition to some people starting to work in the life zone, those who were not assigned to go out into the wild also paid a lot of attention.
There have been no reports of anyone being killed by zombies yet.
As a result.
What's happening today?
Why are the zombies outside appearing like crazy and running towards the headquarters?
Most people guessed that it was probably because there were too many humans at the headquarters, so the "smell of meat" was strong, attracting more zombies.
"Defend well, we just received a notice from the headquarters, asking all residential areas to raise to the highest defense level!"
"It is said that it may be because these zombies have been hungry for several months, and after just appearing, they have produced some kind of change that we don't know, so they are all crazy!"
"The headquarters expects that a large zombie horde will be triggered in the next day or two! From tonight, cancel all outdoor activities! Wait for the headquarters' instructions! Let all of us be prepared to accept the impact!"
A manager of a small residential area ran up the wall panting, and spit out shocking news to the personnel on night duty.
A large zombie horde is coming!?
The personnel who heard this news felt a chill in their bodies!
Just thinking about the terrifying scene of those ghosts outside reaching a terrifying number, constantly stacking towards their residence, and frantically roaring trying to dig out their flesh and blood.
Many people's faces turned pale with fright!
They would not forget the helpless feeling of shivering in their homes when the zombie horde appeared before they entered the residential area!
Completely powerless, they could only pray that these ghosts would leave quickly!
"A large zombie horde is coming!"
This news quickly spread throughout all the small and large residential areas!
Many people ran to the wall at night and saw the figures flashing outside occasionally.
They were even more convinced of the reliability of this news.
There are really more and more zombies outside!
Occasionally, some zombies that were not deeply attracted by the headquarters did not rush to the base headquarters, but stayed outside the walls of these small residential areas and roared loudly.
They had been hungry for several months and smelled the strong human scent inside!
The small residential area absorbed women and children recently and has not let them go back.
The personnel in each place is nearly a hundred!
The gathered smell is not small, and it is like bright lights for these hungry zombies!
Eat eat eat eat eat!!!
They scratched with their hands, regardless of the exposed finger bones, and kept trying to climb the wall to taste the deliciousness.
"Puchi!"
The sound of long spears entering flesh came out.
The personnel on night duty in the small residential area were not vegetarians either.
They had some experience in fighting the enemy, so they picked up the prepared long spears and stabbed at the zombies that were surrounding them!
There are not too many zombies appearing at the moment, and the frequency of six or seven appearing per minute is not considered pressure.
Fenghe County had been cleaned up many times by the base before, and the number of zombies was already low. Most of the zombies coming now are still the remnants of Fenghe County.
Compared to the small and large residential areas, the number of zombies that went to the main base and branch base of the headquarters was too much!
But it still doesn't count as pressure.
The security team only increased the number of people, and it was temporarily enough to face hundreds of nearly a thousand hungry zombies.
Most of the hungry zombies were blocked by the newly built life zone before they even approached the headquarters wall, and roared in vain after falling into the deep pit.
Their brains without consciousness would not look for the two roads leading to the headquarters that were left.
It was also because they came too fast.
The two bridges leading to the headquarters have not yet been built.
Otherwise, when the drawbridge is raised in the future, they will not even be able to approach the headquarters wall.
This number of zombies is not enough to make the base headquarters nervous.
After receiving the news, Qin Jin just asked everyone to be prepared and pay more attention.
Because he knew that the bigger crisis was still behind!
Those zombies from other cities are still attracted by Lin Runwei and are rushing over!
————————————————
The next day.
The sky was gray, and it was still a cloudy day.
Since the drought ended and it rained for several days in a row, even the sun did not come out as casually as usual.
It was like it wanted to make up for being too presumptuous before, and now it wanted to take a vacation and rest.
Of course, this is just a joke.
The huge amount of water that evaporated and disappeared during the previous drought was only transferred to other places, and now it is just returning in another form.
It can be expected that there will be a lot of rain to fall later.
After dawn.
Several small helicopters and medium-sized helicopters took off from the Green Source base.
These were all trainer aircraft that Qin Jin had previously taken people to the Yangcheng Helicopter Training Ground to bring back.
They were not large, the fuselage was light and convenient, and the speed was about 130-170km/h. After modification, they were suitable for short-range reconnaissance and personnel deployment tasks.
These small helicopters that took off were going to偵測 (zhēn cè - detect/scout) the periphery of Fenghe County, and the medium-sized helicopters were going to check the situation in cities further away.
Qin Jin needed to confirm how large the range affected by Lin Runwei this time was!
If even Shenzhen, or even cities further away, were affected, then the zombie horde pressure faced by the base this time might exceed any previous one!
It was necessary to confirm in advance!
After daytime, fewer zombies appeared.
Although they still appeared sporadically, they were no longer as frequent as last night.
Of course, no one would think that the zombie horde was over.
The base canceled outdoor work as scheduled today, but only sent some drones to clean up the zombies that fell into the life zone.
It was estimated that about five thousand zombies came over last night.
Not too many.
It couldn't even be called a large zombie horde.
Of course, Qin Jin knew that this was just an appetizer.
When the zombies from further away gathered, that was the moment when the main course would appear!
