#908 - Chapter 908 Only He Can Make the Decision

Zhang Mingyang took a sip of the warm water in his hand, and after dispelling some of the cold from his body, he felt much more comfortable.

He was from the Huanan Base.

Braving the bitter cold, he and several companions had forced their way to the rumored Green Source Base using a modified snowmobile to seek help.

He wouldn't have taken such action if he hadn't been left with no other choice.

Which survivor in Guangdong Province didn't know about the Green Source Base's dominance and power now?

Practically none.

This base, which had rapidly risen to prominence in the apocalypse, firmly controlled almost the entire Guangdong Province, and countless survivors traded with them.

According to some survivors who were slightly more informed, the Green Source Base's headquarters in Mentang Town, Guangyuan City, was home to over ten thousand survivors!

This didn't even include the scattered survivors living outside the base who weren't considered official members.

Adding in the number of survivors in various cities who relied on Green Source for survival, some roughly estimated that at least nearly one hundred thousand survivors in Guangdong Province depended on Green Source!

This was a behemoth that surpassed second-tier forces by many levels.

However, recently, with the arrival of the cold winter, this force, like other places, had shrunk back and stopped trading, which most survivors understood.

As long as they endured these few months, things would recover next year.

But!

The Huanan Base, where Zhang Mingyang was located, might not be able to last that long!

The Huanan Base had a number of soldiers who had gathered together at the beginning of the apocalypse. Initially, they relied on manpower and cooperation with the survivors they had gathered to establish a base with a scale of more than four thousand people in Qing City, not far from Yang City!

Unfortunately, the corpse fog that struck last year, as well as the various disasters that followed, gradually shrank and reduced the number of this semi-official force.

Finally, the number was reduced to only one-tenth of the original number during the corpse fog before the winter this year!

That is, only more than four hundred people remained.

But even so, they still didn't have enough food to get through this winter!

The main reason was that there were too many old, weak, and disabled people in the base.

In the early days of the apocalypse, the Huanan Base took in a large number of survivors, making the entire base extremely bloated. Subsequently, in many disasters, many of those who were willing to work with the soldiers had already died.

In addition, due to some recent reasons, Zhang Mingyang had to risk bringing a few companions over.

He had long heard that Green Source was difficult to deal with, but for the sake of that glimmer of hope to save more base personnel, they still came.

After many hardships, they were fortunate enough to find the location, but were stopped when they tried to continue approaching the Green Source headquarters.

According to what the person in charge of the residential area said, people like Zhang Mingyang who came to ask for help were basically unlikely to gain anything.

Despite their best efforts, the other party still refused to let them pass, and even refused to let them see the Green Source leader to plead their case.

In the end, they were extremely disappointed and left their names and the name of their force with the staff member, and only after the message was passed to the Green Source high-level officials was it coincidentally noticed by Qin Guoqiang, who was in charge of the matter.

Zhang Mingyang had been a soldier with Qin Guoqiang!

The two recognized each other after a phone call, and then Zhang Mingyang explained his purpose.

Qin Guoqiang was in a dilemma.

Then he personally called Qin Jin to inquire about the matter.

"Captain, do you really know the security cadre of Green Source Base!? I heard that this is a very awesome position!"

A young man next to Zhang Mingyang asked him curiously.

He was from the Huanan Base and came to Green Source for help with Zhang Mingyang. The reason they were invited into Green Source was because the captain had established a relationship with a cadre here!

It was really a coincidence!

Without this relationship, they would probably have to return without success and risk going back.

Green Source was indeed that rumored force that wouldn't pull out a single hair and would never have pity on strangers or useless people.

Although they were prepared, they were still extremely disappointed by the way they were treated just now.

If they couldn't borrow food and go back, most of the people in their base would not be able to survive this winter.

"It's really a bit of a coincidence! I didn't expect to meet my old comrade-in-arms. We haven't been in contact for almost ten years. If the other party hadn't confirmed my identity first, I wouldn't have dared to believe it."

Zhang Mingyang was also filled with emotion, feeling incredible about his luck.

If it weren't for this, they wouldn't have really entered this warm place to wait for the other party.

The journey into the Green Source headquarters sub-base had already shocked them greatly. At this time, their biggest goal was to be able to obtain food to help the base.

"With this relationship, it should be stable, right, Captain!"

The young warrior who asked the question said with a hopeful face.

It stands to reason that if the other party is willing to meet them, they should choose to help them, right?

Someone has estimated the amount of food that the Green Source Base possesses, and it can be described as unfathomable!

Many people speculate that Green Source has found many granaries or has the ability to grow its own food crops, otherwise it would be impossible to have the capital to continuously exchange materials with outside survivors.

"This... I'm not too sure, alas, hopefully!"

Zhang Mingyang sighed.

The two hadn't seen each other for many years, and the other party wasn't the person in charge of Green Source. Would things really go so smoothly?

While chatting, the door of the room was pushed open, and a group of people strode in, unceremoniously walking to the opposite side of Zhang Mingyang and the others.

"Old Zhang!!"

"Old Qin!!"

The two old men's eyes lit up, and they hugged each other tightly without hesitation!

What a rare thing it was to have the good fortune to meet comrades-in-arms again after the apocalypse!

Qin Guoqiang was in a good mood and shook his comrade's hand for a while, reminiscing about the past, and Zhang Mingyang also responded excitedly.

The two reminisced for nearly five minutes before ending and getting to the point.

"Old Qin, I really need your base's help! If we don't find food to go back, most of the three or four hundred people in our base will probably starve to death this winter! Our last remaining food is not enough for everyone to last a week!"

Zhang Mingyang said excitedly, holding his comrade's hand.

"I'm sorry, Yangzi, to be honest, I really can't help you with this matter!"

"Although I hold a small position in Green Source, I don't have the authority to allocate food and related things."

Hearing his comrade's words, Zhang Mingyang's face clearly darkened.

Qin Guoqiang patted his hand hard, turned his gaze to Qin Jin, who had followed in, and continued.

"Come, let me introduce you, this is my nephew!"

"At the same time, he is also the leader of our Green Source!"

"Only he can make the decision about your request for help! If you have anything you want to say, try your best to say it, and A'Jin will give you an answer!"

Hearing Qin Guoqiang's words, the people from Huanan Base present turned their attention to a young man next to Qin Guoqiang who had followed in earlier!

He was actually the Green Source leader!?
