#98 - Chapter 98 Doubt
Noon.
Green Origin Base.
The base personnel had just finished lunch and returned to their respective residences to rest.
Since a batch of personnel's relatives and friends had been brought over, the base's manpower had been slightly supplemented, and the speed of repairing the walls had become a little faster.
Those newly arrived relatives and friends also began to slowly adapt to life here.
Although their arrival caused the food and accommodation conditions of the applicants to decline, they could barely still eat their fill.
The base had also recently issued new regulations on the announcement board, allowing people to earn living points by working overtime at night.
In this way, those whose food rations had been halved could completely work overtime at night if they didn't want to go hungry. The base was short of people for everything now, so there was no worry about not having anything to do.
Of course, if they didn't feel the need to make up for their living points, they could continue to eat a little less.
It was all about freedom.
In the boss's office, Qin Jin returned here after finishing his meal.
It had been a full morning since the two helicopters went out, but they had not yet returned.
This situation made him feel slightly anxious.
Because those were the only two medium-sized helicopters in the base now, and the pilots on board were also valuable. If they were lost outside, it would really be a serious blow.
Moreover, the fact that they couldn't retrieve information from the two military regions meant that they were still dangerous places and not suitable for going there.
In his previous life, according to some information he knew, some shelters or bases had obtained some military weapons, indicating that some military regions must have fallen due to being breached by zombies or various other reasons.
The weapons were either scattered or taken away by the people in the队伍.
However, he didn't know the specific locations, because no high-level personnel in any shelter would leak such information.
And they wouldn't publicize what weapons they had obtained, but would silently hoard them as treasures.
Secret weapons were only powerful because they were secret, and could serve as a deterrent.
Therefore, he didn't know much about these things in his previous life.
In this life.
He didn't dare to be too presumptuous in touching these red lines during peacetime.
Only after the apocalypse did he dare to extend his claws.
He even waited until after the earthquake and acid rain, when his own combat team had matured and he had acquired helicopters.
He dared to do this only when everything was ready.
Everything was based on stability.
Just as he was sitting in his chair and pondering.
His increasingly sensitive ears suddenly heard the sound of whirring!
It was the sound of a helicopter!
He suddenly stood up and ran directly towards the base's停机坪!
The helicopter was back!
——————————
After Sun Xiaolong and the others finished scouting the Zhushi Military Region.
They started heading back towards the Green Origin Base.
Of course, they didn't forget to continue recording the ground information on the way back.
It was still a smooth journey.
Of course, it was temporarily impossible for anything to appear that could intercept them at this time.
After nearly two hours, they finally returned to the base around noon.
After coordinating with the ground personnel, Sun Xiaolong skillfully parked the helicopter in the designated location before turning off the engine.
Before they could get off the plane, the people on board had already seen the boss running over quickly.
Seeing this, they didn't dare to be negligent.
They quickly unloaded the equipment from the plane and prepared to greet the boss.
The helicopter's speed decreased, and the noise finally subsided. Qin Jin, who had arrived, couldn't wait to ask Sun Xiaolong.
"What's the result?"
Sun Xiaolong looked serious and nodded heavily to the boss, saying loudly:
"President Qin, the conditions there are met!"
Good!
Qin Jin couldn't help but exclaim in his heart!
His right hand even clenched tightly and waved.
He patted Sun Xiaolong's arm heavily and said to them with a smile:
"Good! We'll talk about the specifics back in the conference room! I'll have someone move the food over there! We'll talk while we eat!"
He really couldn't wait to understand the situation!
If the conditions were really met, then this would be another surprisingly rewarding mission!
Sun Xiaolong and the others, of course, had no objections.
They followed the boss towards the office building, not daring to leave behind the equipment they were carrying, and quickly followed.
Twenty minutes later.
A group of people had already appeared in the conference room, and Sun Xiaolong had described the situation he had seen in Zhushi that morning.
And the conference room's projector was already playing the video while coordinating with his narration.
Qin Jin had roughly understood the situation there.
He stared at the scenes on the screen, and he had already confirmed that he could set off again this time!
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, he said to the team members who had completed the mission after taking the risk with a kind expression:
"Thank you all for your hard work! You guys eat first, and I'll have someone carefully check the path information from the recording later! I'll make arrangements later."
The few people repeatedly said they didn't dare, saying that this was what they should do.
Just then.
The sound of a helicopter faintly came from the sky outside again!
It seemed that the other helicopter had also returned!
Qin Jin was overjoyed and asked Wang Yang, who was standing beside him, to quickly invite Xia Yan and the others over. He wanted to get another good news!
Sure enough.
This time it was Xia Yan and the others who came back.
After they stopped and just got off the plane, they saw Wang Yang, who had also just arrived. Before they could say hello, Wang Yang shouted to them:
"It's too noisy here. The boss wants you to talk in the conference room! Xiaolong and the others just came back too, and they're there with the boss."
The few people didn't object, took the equipment for recording information, quickly followed Wang Yang, and rushed to the conference room.
A few minutes later, as soon as they opened the door of the conference room, they saw the boss staring at them, his eyes seemed to be waiting for his answer.
Xia Yan didn't dare to joke and waste time. He knew that this matter was of great importance, and said:
"President Qin, we did find the Yangcheng Military Region on this trip, but the situation is a bit complicated. We can't evaluate and draw a conclusion. How about we turn on the recording and let everyone take a look together?"
Qin Jin felt strange after hearing this. What complicated situation could be difficult to describe? But watching the recording was indeed the best way.
Soon, Xia Yan's team quickly connected the brought back recording equipment to the projector and fast-forwarded to the location of the Yangcheng Military Region they found.
On the screen.
All that could be seen was a wide field, a bit like a school, but surrounded by high walls and barbed wire. On closer inspection, many of the buildings inside had traces of damage, and there were also traces of fighting on the ground. Some of the ground even had multiple shell craters!
As the picture moved, more and more scenes were displayed.
Perhaps attracted by the sound of the helicopter, many zombies also came out of the buildings and piled up under the helicopter.
But everyone's attention was on other sights.
Those lying on the ground should be armed helicopters!?
And that should be a tank!?
Even the turret was blown off!?
And there were many remains of armored vehicles on the ground!
What exactly happened here!?
Why did it look like it had been through a great battle!?
Too many doubts arose, and Qin Jin couldn't help but ask Xia Yan:
"Tell me in detail."
