Chapter 94 Chapter 94 Corpse Fighting Field

By the time Su Qing learned about this, many people in the base had already organized a protest in front of the office building.

She curled up on the sofa, fanning herself with a palm-leaf fan while chatting with Fang Qing via video. "It's all about survival. Everyone's anxious, and I understand. Cloud seeding requires certain conditions. Since we can't wait, the well is right there. Anyone who wants to dig it can go ahead. The base has sent several teams to assist with the digging."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away. One more thing: more and more people are suffering from heat stroke at the base, and the hospital is a bit short on staff. I've posted a temporary job posting."

Due to the high temperature, the power supply at the base has become tight, and there are not enough air conditioners and fans. The recent days are no better than during the extreme cold. If you are not careful outside during the day, you will get heatstroke. More and more people are falling ill, and the base hospital is already crowded with people. Doctors and nurses are busy and there is an extreme shortage of staff.

Su Qing thought for a moment and said, "Recruitment will prioritize the hospital's needs. Regarding the heatwave, I'll find a way to provide power and cooling equipment at the base. I'll also send out an announcement later: Starting today, each person in the base cafeteria can receive a free 500ml bottle of iced mung bean soup to cool down. Iced watermelon is also available at a limited discount of 20%."

"Go talk to Mr. Chen and the other Chinese medicine doctors to see if there are any daily prescriptions or medicinal foods to relieve the summer heat."

Fang Qing in the video paused for a moment before slowly speaking, "You don't have to handle all of this alone. We can issue some bounties and entrust those outbound teams with collecting equipment."

"Okay, but I have almost searched all the surrounding towns. It is not easy for ordinary people to collect information. I plan to talk to the capital." Su Qing was very envious of the capital's solar thermal power generation, and wondered if he could trade some equipment for the system transformation.

After hanging up the video, Su Qing @Lu Chen and Qin Yu gathered at the office in the group.

To establish connections with the capital... these two are the perfect people to rely on.

......

Under the scorching sun, visible heat waves flowed in the air.

At the foot of a city gate simply built of red bricks and cement, several guards sat listlessly in a shaded corner.

There was also a small solar-powered fan on the table in front of them. The fan was a bit worn out, and the blades made a creaking sound from time to time as they turned.

However, with the temperature reaching nearly 60 degrees, even with the wind at its maximum, it was hard to reduce the heat. Several people's faces were flushed, sweat kept dripping, and they had to pick up the water cup beside them and drink a few sips of salt water from time to time.

“Ding ding ding!”

Suddenly, a whistle sounded in the distance, and soon a convoy of vehicles approached. The guards saw the base's logo on the cars, and several of them quickly stood up and ran out to move the defensive wooden frames outside the city gate.

The convoy drove in slowly and stopped in front of the innermost gate. A guard ran towards the lead car with a notebook in his hand.

The car window slowly lowered, and a cool breeze blew over. The guard cursed in his heart, "We are here enduring the high temperature and suffering and exhausting ourselves guarding the city gate, and these bastards actually have the luxury of burning oil and turning on the air conditioner!"

But he only dared to curse in his heart. The guard looked at the person sitting in the passenger seat with a flattering smile on his face, "Brother Wang is back. He has been away for almost half a month this time, right?" As he said that, he handed over the notebook in his hand.

Wang Cheng took the notebook, picked up the pen hanging on it, signed his name, and then threw it to the guard. "Well, I encountered some good stuff, which delayed me for a while."

The guard quickly caught the notebook and congratulated him, "Oh, congratulations, Brother Wang."

As they were talking, there was a sudden loud crash from a truck behind them, and the truck swayed left and right a few times.

The guard looked at the bulge on the heavy metal of the cargo box and subconsciously took a few steps back. "This thing is quite powerful. I won't waste your time here." He waved to the people behind him, "Open the door and let them pass."

The people in the car nodded slightly, the windows quickly rolled up, and then the convoy drove into the base one by one.

Looking at the convoy going away, the guard curled his lips in disdain, turned around and ran back to the corner.

The convoy entered the base and quickly drove to an underground parking lot where a team of fully armed men were waiting. As soon as the car stopped, the team surrounded the last few trucks.

Wang Cheng got out of the car and walked to the truck whose cargo box was hit. He said to the armed men, "There is a high-grade cargo in here. Be careful."

One of them pointed to the protruding marks on the cargo box and said with a smile, "I can see that there have been a lot of complaints from people down there recently. If we don't get some powerful people to help, we're going to be unable to continue doing business here." After saying that, he told everyone to prepare to open the cargo box.

As the cargo door was slowly opened, the roar of zombies was heard, followed by a series of collisions.

I saw a stainless steel cage rolling inside. In order to restrict the movement of zombies, the cage was very small and the zombies could only squat inside. The locked-up zombies were running around frantically.

The cage was originally tied with fixed ropes, but now the ropes had broken and fallen to the ground. The cage rolled inside the cargo box as the zombies moved. When the zombies saw the light coming in, they roared and rushed out with the cage.

No one expected that the zombie could still move in such a small cage. Seeing this, the people outside quickly scattered and dodged. With a "bang", the cage fell to the ground. The zombie hunched its body and looked around with its blood-red eyes.

"Quick! Taser!"

"Come a few more people and shock it together."

Several fully armed men walked towards the cage with stun guns in their hands. Seeing this, the zombies rammed one side of the cage hard, causing it to move away.

The cage kept rolling, and the people who were afraid of being hurt by the zombies could not get too close. They could only surround it and wait for an opportunity to attack. Occasionally, someone poked the cage with a stun gun, and the zombies screamed incessantly, and the scene was in chaos.

"Oh no, the cage is about to be broken!" Someone noticed that the steel cage had been smashed to pieces by the zombies and was about to be broken, so he shouted.

Wang Cheng saw this and yelled, "Go get the car over here and surround the cage!"

In the end, the cage was trapped by several cars, and everyone had the opportunity to electrocute the zombie.

Seeing that the zombies in the cage were no longer moving, one person bravely walked closer, looked at the broken cage, and spat, "High-end stuff is really powerful. It's really powerful."

"That's amazing! We're in need of something like this right now."

A burnt smell gradually filled the air. With this lesson learned, everyone was much more careful when opening the next few cargo boxes. They first surrounded the box with several cars and then opened the door. However, the zombies at the back were much easier to deal with. After transferring all the zombies away, the convoy left the underground parking lot one by one.

......

The G City base was dark and silent at night, with only occasional patrol personnel walking back and forth.

And beneath this silent land, a sunken gymnasium is brightly lit and bustling with people.

Thousands of people sat in the stadium and shouted at the huge steel cage at the bottom.

I saw two figures, one black and one red, fighting in the iron cage. Soon the one in black began to lag behind, and the one in red found the right opportunity and pounced on the ground. The man in red strangled the man's neck with his arms and hit him hard on the temple with his fist.

The restrained man in black kept struggling and roaring, but he could not get rid of it. With another heavy punch from the man in red, the side of the black man's skull caved in with a click, and then he became motionless and silent.

A few seconds later, a voice came from the speaker hanging in the air.

"Red wins!"

The man in red had a lot of black and red mucus on his hands. He wiped it on the clothes of a corpse on the side, then slowly stood up while panting.

With a creak, the door of the iron cage was opened.

Two people walked into the cage, and one of them dragged the corpse away by one foot. The corpse rubbed and shook on the ground, revealing a hideous and rotten face.

The dead one turned out to be a zombie.

"The quality of these recent zombies is really poor. They were killed in just a short time."

"No, it's totally uninteresting."

"The zombies that appeared these days are so weak. They made me lose hundreds of dollars."

"The guy below is quite skilled... What a pity."

Those who are caught in the corpse fighting field have no choice but to fight to death.

The sound came from the speakers again.

"Everyone! I know everyone has been quite dissatisfied with the combat effectiveness of our zombies recently. Today! We will bring you some fresh and high-end goods!"

"The next one to appear is a Level 4 zombie! Betting begins now, time limit is three minutes!"

This is the zombie fighting arena in G City. They classify the zombies they catch outside, destroy small bases everywhere, lock up the people in the small bases, and let them out every night to fight zombies of various levels. People in G City come to watch and bet for prizes.

Those who were locked in the Colosseum had no other way out except death. They were injured and bitten to death by zombies, turned into zombies and continued to fight, and were eventually beaten to death by others...

Or else, they would just keep fighting, but that would only mean they could barely survive... Those people were locked up in a dark basement during the day, fed only a meager meal a day, with no one to treat their injuries. Then, at night, they were released to fight again. Sooner or later, they would all collapse...

Hearing that it was a level four zombie... the man in the cage had a flash of despair in his originally empty and dead eyes... The one he had just killed was just a level two zombie, and a level four... was dozens of times more powerful than a level two zombie.

The people watching around were excited. Since the opening of this corpse fighting arena, there has never been a level 4 zombie. The man below has rare skills. This fight is bound to be very exciting.

Suddenly, the sound of betting was everywhere, and the service staff holding tickets ran around the venue collecting money and issuing tickets.

Soon, three minutes passed.

A bell rang.

The venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone stared at the entrance.

The person in the cage was also tense all over for a moment, staring at the steel gate with extreme tension.

The gates slowly opened...

Everyone in the venue subconsciously held their breath.

However, there was no movement behind the gate.

A few minutes passed, and there was still no sign of the zombies.

People began to get impatient and noisy.

Just then, a roar was heard from the passage behind the gate.

This roar pierced the entire venue, causing everyone's ears to ache slightly, and the venue immediately fell silent again...

After a few seconds, there was another roar, the sound came from far away and then a black shadow quickly flashed out from the passage.
