#751 - Chapter 751: Ice and Fire
Mentang Town.
Green Source Zone.
The influx of frenzied zombies after nightfall did indeed increase.
The personnel in the 20 small residential areas and three large residential areas outside were finding it somewhat difficult to resist.
Of course.
That was all.
The purple mist concentration here was not as alarmingly high as the 20 value in Shenzhen.
The enhanced strength and frenzy of the zombies outside were very different from those in Shenzhen.
It could be considered a relatively ordinary level of zombie mist.
The headquarters had dispatched helicopters and airships in advance for reconnaissance, roughly estimating the scale of this zombie tide impacting the Green Source Base to be around five to six hundred thousand.
A piece of cake.
That's right, this scale of zombie tide was indeed just a piece of cake for the Green Source Base at this time.
Last time, even a three million zombie tide was withstood, and this time it was only about one-fifth of that, not even difficult.
Because many saw towers and other zombie-killing equipment had been newly added inside the Green Source Zone.
The walls of the twenty-odd large and small residential areas were also taller and more solid, with the personnel inside sharing the work of killing zombies.
Unlike the zombie tide caused by Miss Lin last time, these frenzied zombies were not mainly heading towards the Green Source headquarters.
There was also an even more awesome life zone.
It was simply impossible for a zombie tide that didn't even reach a million in scale to come over.
The headquarters was slightly surprised after the purple mist rose, but then everyone ignored it, those who should work worked, those who should analyze and research analyzed and researched, and those who should get off work to receive food and watch did their own thing.
There was almost no major change from usual.
In the corridor of the personnel dormitory in the branch base.
A group of people with nothing to do after eating were chatting and bragging while staring at the faint purple mist outside.
"How many people do you think will die outside tonight? Alas, I don't even know how this disaster appeared. Could it be that it will appear several times every year in the future? Then the survivors outside will probably really become fewer and fewer."
Xiao Cong, who was full, looked at the purple mist outside and felt emotional.
He still remembered the first time he saw the purple mist was on the night of the mutation, when he was hiding in his home in an old community in Shenzhen, watching the advent of the apocalypse in fear.
The second time he saw the zombie mist was later when he was looking for Green Source to take refuge, when they were a group of people huddled in a small building, shivering.
There was no sense of security at all.
It was nothing like it was now.
It was a completely different world from the outside.
Those frenzied zombies simply couldn't get in here.
"There's no way, even Chief Qin can't save all the survivors."
"Yes, this kind of disaster is simply not something that human power can contend with."
Hearing Xiao Cong's words, A Zhen and Li Cai, who came over to chat, couldn't help but add a sentence each.
They all knew that this kind of disaster affecting a very large area was simply not something that one or a few people could find a solution to.
If there was, that person might be a god.
Compared to the people outside, those of them who were fortunate enough to join Green Source, and even mixed into the headquarters' residency, could be considered to have reached the end of the dream of the survivors outside.
That was all.
They were not the decision-making level of Green Source, so naturally they couldn't open the base to receive more survivors just because of their momentary pity.
Impossible.
Except for those selfless saints, no one would be willing to lower their own treatment to accept a group of strangers of unknown origin.
Green Source was very resolute in this regard, and also extremely thorough.
It was just not accepting survivors who took refuge casually.
Unless it was useful to this place, it was possible to first put them in the residential area for observation, and after confirming that this person really had the need to be absorbed, they would naturally obtain the identity of a level 3 personnel after a series of assessments.
If these were not established from the beginning, perhaps there would be no Green Source now.
There were many people who thought the same as Xiao Cong and others, everyone just sympathized with the survivors outside, but didn't think that Green Source was doing anything wrong.
As vested interests, be low-key.
Ordinary personnel who basically didn't need to carry out defense work in this zombie mist got off work early to rest, only security personnel and combat personnel were carrying out the necessary monitoring and were ready to be dispatched at any time to deal with emergencies.
For example.
After eating dinner cooked by his girlfriend Zhao Ling, Qin Jin was in the leader's office, occasionally asking about the situation of each branch in the zombie mist, while letting the military units monitor the killing degree of the zombie tide at any time.
This afternoon, he had received good answers from both the development department and the laboratory.
The secrets of the zombie mist were gradually being revealed to him.
This was the benefit of having a large force.
He could obtain overall arrangements that lone wolves could never do.
In his previous life, he wandered around, and people who gave him face would call him Brother Qin.
If they didn't give him face, then he was a pile of dog shit.
Other survivors didn't even bother to look at him if he wasn't beneficial to them.
Unlike now.
As the leader of Green Source, his one look, or an unintentional action, a very small decision, would be scrutinized by a large group of cadres or personnel who couldn't contact him.
In many people's minds, perhaps guessing Chief Qin's thoughts could gain his special attention and take off completely.
It was like meeting the emperor.
Who wouldn't want to be favored by a big shot and soar from then on?
"How was today's meal? If you like this braised pork tenderloin that I just learned to make, I'll make more next time."
Zhao Ling, who was cleaning up the tableware that her lover had wiped out, asked him in a good mood.
The relationship between the two had recently been an open secret, and everyone knew that Chief Qin had accepted this cadre from the life department and completely broke away from being single.
Fortunately, Zhao Ling no longer paid attention to the eyes of others, and ate together every day as Qin Jin said.
Looking at the person she liked eating the dishes she made, she felt better and ate half a bowl more rice.
It felt great.
She was just a little worried about whether she would gain weight?
Would Qin Jin still like her if she gained weight in the future?
This was her new worry.
She naturally didn't know that Qin Jin, who had lived two lives, would not reject plump beauties at all.
Zhao Ling's figure was originally extremely good, and after being moisturized, she exuded a new charm.
It was simply cheating.
"I like it! It can be listed as one of my top ten favorite dishes!"
Qin Jin was not stingy with his praise.
He had heard from somewhere before that the more you praised a woman, the more positive feedback she would give and the better she would become.
Although he didn't know if it was true, it didn't prevent him from praising her like this.
Moreover, he was not lying, Zhao Ling, who carefully studied dishes and cooked, really had good cooking skills.
Hearing the words of her beloved, Zhao Ling felt even better.
The two people in the leader's office were like couples in peacetime, they had no sense of being in the apocalypse at all.
The terrible disaster zombie mist that broke out outside was blocked outside the life zone and could not enter here at all.
This was the meaning of Qin Jin building the base.
"Beep beep beep!!!"
A walkie-talkie on the table suddenly rang.
Qin Jin then answered, inside was the voice of his uncle Qin Guoqiang, bringing a message that made him frown slightly.
"A Jin! The Red Cloud Base sent a distress signal! Something seems to have happened to them and they may not be able to withstand this zombie mist!"
A distress call!?
It's only just night?
What happened over there?
