#99 - Chapter 99: Evil Guests Peeping
Hearing the boss's question, Xia Yan swallowed.
He gathered his thoughts and began to speak.
"After we left the base, we smoothly made our way to Yang City, and then slowly found this military area. After some probing, we realized it seemed deserted, so we dared to approach and investigate."
"But when we got there, we saw such a scene: wreckage of cars and airplanes everywhere, and many things on the ground that looked like human bones. And there were a lot of zombies, a lot!"
"After that, we flew around the entire military area, recorded a video, and didn't find anything of value. So we circled around the military area again."
"We basically covered a 15-kilometer radius around there, but still didn't see anything unusual. After wasting a lot of time, we only had enough fuel left to get home, so we started to return."
Listening to Xia Yan's words, Qin Jin didn't glean any valuable information. It was basically the same as what he saw in the video.
It seemed something had happened to this military area, and a lot of the weapons and equipment were damaged.
If that was the case, the value would be much less.
Judging from the footage, a lot of things were already damaged. He wondered how much intact and useful stuff was left.
He couldn't get an answer.
But he needed to go there no matter what!
Even if a lot was really damaged, there would always be some useful supplies that could be brought back.
And it would also clarify the situation of one target, so he wouldn't have to keep thinking about this place in the future.
It was just that the priority should be behind the military area in Zhu City.
He would deal with Zhu City first, and then plan for Yang City!
Afterward,
He told Xia Yan and the others to rest first. He made a copy of the data they had recorded from both sides.
He returned to his office and began to watch it again.
He was going to create a battle plan!
And he couldn't wait!
He would set off tomorrow!
He would immediately arrange for the base to prepare the supplies for the expedition.
And the arrangements for the time they were away.
This time, he would still lead the team himself!
Such an important matter, how could he be absent!
He expected to be camping out for several days.
Because he saw the faint shadows of tanks in some of the warehouses in the Zhu City video!!
If he were to transport these big guys back, he estimated that he would need to mobilize an even larger convoy.
And he also needed to find a good place to camp out in advance.
Fortunately, he had already prepared for this.
On the way to the military areas in Zhu City and Yang City, he had already surveyed which schools, factories, and other places had high walls before the apocalypse.
Otherwise, camping out, defending against the increasingly strong zombies at night, and accommodating their large convoy...
Such a place was really hard to find.
Today was destined to be another busy day.
But Qin Jin felt very excited!
Because if he succeeded this time, he would be able to gain the capital to feel a little safe in this apocalypse!
So he had to give it his all!
He must bring those treasures back!
————————————
Time returned to eight or nine in the morning.
Outside the walls of the Green Source Base.
About 500 meters away in a patch of grass.
Three or four survivors were crouching at this time!
Perhaps because they were far away and hidden in the grass,
The defensive personnel on the walls of the Green Source Base did not notice anyone there. (Thermal imagers were not used during the day)
Zooming in.
These people were actually the group of survivors from the small residential area in Mentang Town!
But it seemed that not everyone had come; only some of them had.
Their eyes were all fixed on the distant, towering walls, looking shocked.
"Hiss—"
"TMD! It's really like what Xiao Li said! There are such high walls! Director, what do we do!? Do we go directly to join them!?"
One of the round-faced men with a beard exclaimed in shock.
And said to a man with a slicked-back hairstyle in front of him.
The man with the slicked-back hairstyle glanced at him as if he were an idiot and said speechlessly:
"What are you thinking? If you were the person in charge of such a place, would you be willing to take in strangers casually?"
"And didn't you see that the gate is closed tight?"
The round-faced, bearded man scratched his armpit in distress. He was often scolded by the director and had become a little used to it.
"Then, Director, what do we do!? Our food is about to run out, and the easy-to-find places outside have been scavenged by other survivors. If this continues, we won't be able to find anything to eat!"
"If this continues, we will starve to death! We can only rely on you to survive."
"Only the smartest you can lead us to survive."
The person called Director waved his hand impatiently and said to his subordinate, who had been with him for a long time, although his abilities were average, but he was good at flattering him:
"Okay, I already have a rough plan in my mind, and there is a high probability that we can join this place!"
"As long as you do as I say, after we join, we won't have to worry about safety and food and drink!"
The other few people were overjoyed when they heard the director's words.
"Director is wise!"
They all knew that this director used to be an old fox in the officialdom. Without a background, he relied on his mouth and ability to work to climb to the position of director and leader of a department in Mentang Town.
After the apocalypse, he led a few acquaintances, step by step, and slowly built up a small group of a dozen people, who were their backbone.
In the apocalypse, most ordinary people were at a loss. When a leader appeared, it was easy to become the reliance of others.
"Let's go back first and mobilize everyone to gather all the survivors around! This way, when we have a large number of people, we will have some capital to negotiate with that place!"
"Of course, they will definitely not accept so many people joining. The possibility of this is so low that it is almost non-existent!"
"Then they must only have two choices!"
"The first is to drive us away! When the two sides confront each other, so many of us are not vegetarians! If they really refuse to let us in, then we will charge them! If we win, then naturally that place will belong to us!"
"Even if we can't win, with so many of us, a few of us can escape! Those survivors who were coaxed over can die, as long as we can live!"
"And the second choice is to accept the negotiations of me, the initiator!"
"I will fight for benefits for everyone, let a few of us join first, and then help them manage those survivors in return."
"Even if they don't agree, we won't lose anything, then we will continue to wear them down! If they dare to open the door, we will charge them! If they don't come out, we will throw stones and shit to harass them! We will continue to find more survivors and block their door, making them overwhelmed! Let them know the price of ignoring us!"
The eyes of the people next to him grew brighter and brighter.
When he heard about throwing stones and shit to harass them later, the round-faced man couldn't help but clap his hands and cheer!
"Director, what a great plan! This throwing shit is really wonderful! This way, they will definitely not be able to help but negotiate with us. If they don't agree, we will continue to harass them! Sooner or later, they will definitely only choose to accept!"
"Wonderful, wonderful! Director is indeed our brain trust!"
The director felt a little elated after hearing this.
He felt that this round-faced man was still good at talking, although this subordinate was not good at doing things, he was still good at talking.
The people next to him also felt that there was some truth in this plan, although it seemed a little strange and not quite right, but they couldn't say it for a while.
"Okay, let's go back and gather all the survivors! We need to tell them about this building here, which will take a lot of time. Let's try to move in tonight! Act quickly!"
Several people quickly agreed.
The director looked back at the tall walls of the Green Source Base again.
A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
Then several people went back along the way to implement the plan.
