Giant vortices suddenly appeared in the skies over multiple locations worldwide, and strange phenomena caused widespread public panic;

Kuafu Base.
It is located inland and its original site was once a prosperous, ancient, modern metropolis.
In the seventh year since the apocalypse, as one of the largest existing defense lines of mankind, the total population of Kuafu Base has now exceeded 18 million.
Its area is already comparable to that of a super-large city, and the urban diseases that large cities should have will only become more obvious in this era; coupled with the various resource shortages, disease damage and environmental pollution caused by the uninterrupted zombie tides, the contradictions within the base have continued to intensify and become acute. As early as three years ago, it had reached the point where it could no longer rely on its own supply chain to operate normally and had to rely on rationing and wartime policies to barely support itself.
But compared to those people whose entire cities have been invaded by the zombie tide and who can only rely on polluted water to survive, the residents here are still lucky.
At least they had relatively clean food, water, and a base shelter that could protect them from wind and rain.
In addition, there are schools, hospitals and some basic community facilities inside the base. However, medicines in this era are even more expensive than the same weight of gold. For most ordinary people, a trip to the hospital means spending all their money.
Especially in the past two years, soaring prices have led to extremely bad consequences. The original curfew time has been advanced again and again, and now even during the day, managers have begun patrolling the streets with guns.
But even so, it still cannot stop those who are bankrupt for various reasons, disabled in the mission or have seriously ill family members from taking up arms and taking risks.
The crime rate has been rising in recent years. However, despite knowing the seriousness of the situation, the government still conducts a mandatory lottery for all adults over the age of 18 in the base at the end of each month.
The chance of winning is about one in ten thousand, but everyone who draws the red ticket will be forced to take up arms and go outside the base to carry out missions.
Average mortality rate
Thirty-seven percent.
Despite the high death rate, everyone knows that if humans continue to hide in safe zones and never go out, they will only end up with nothing and gradually go to extinction.
They must find a way to completely eliminate the zombie tide.
The reason why the first human was transformed into a zombie is so long ago that it is impossible to verify. People only know that every zombie has a crystal core in its head. After the crystal core is broken, the zombie will completely lose its ability to move, but its body will not slowly corrode over time. Instead, it will pollute the local soil, vegetation and water sources, causing greater damage.
After seven years, the independent research institute that the government spent a lot of money to cultivate finally extracted a substance called purification solution, which can barely eliminate the toxicity of the lowest level zombies and purify some water sources that are not too seriously polluted.
But to go further, they need more and higher-level crystal cores as experimental samples.
If we can obtain the crystal core in the zombie king's head, then perhaps humans will really have a chance to completely end this dark age and return the world to its original state!
However, as the end of the world approaches, people go from being full of hope at the beginning to gradually becoming numb, and finally falling into despair about the future.
In this process, many people have experienced the death of their relatives, friends and loved ones, and have become zombies. Even government experts believe that if this continues, humans may go to their own death before the day when ammunition runs out and the zombie tide completely conquers the base.
There is no doubt that what they need more than the unreliable promises of the base managers is tangible hope that they can grasp.
No one knows when it will favor humans.
Until that day, a tattered jeep drove up to the gate of the base.
Many people recognize it.
Because just two days ago, this car broke through the checkpoints and escaped from the base at full speed.
But apart from some relevant personnel, few people know who the people in the car are and why they took the initiative to leave the only remaining shelter for mankind.
However, similar things have happened before, and many people thought they could find a better way to survive by getting out, but without exception, they all died. Because what awaited them in the outside world was only an endless tide of zombies and an extremely harsh environment that was so polluted that it could not even meet the most basic living conditions of humans.
Seven years after the end of the world, the bloody lessons of the past have left a deep mark on everyone's mind.
Leaving the base would be tantamount to seeking death.
But today, the jeep that had escaped from the base alone drove back from outside.
Moreover, it brought back three strange guests.
And, something more valuable than all the diamonds and gold in the world combined.
——Hope to end the end of the world.
Soon after the jeep arrived, a large number of motorcades, helicopters, and fighter jets drove in. The people in the base had not seen such a large-scale battle for a long time. They came out of the small room and onto the street, looking up at the densely packed whizzing planes in the sky, not understanding what fate awaited them next.
The fate of ants always rises and falls with the times. The only thing ordinary people can do is to pray to God.
But as a rumor, whose truth or falsity was circulated in the base, even those who had been living numbly like stone sculptures could not help but ignite a small hope in their withered hearts again -
I heard that these outsiders came from another large-scale base;
I heard that they called themselves members of the "Moda";
It was also heard that they brought a small bottle of reagent containing something that could end this nightmare.
If this is true.
If this is true…
That would be great.
Although they say “it’s just another scam by those high-ups trying to fool people” and “how can we possibly believe such a thing”, when the night is quiet, countless people still toss and turn in the darkness.
They slowly exhaled their last breath of life from their lungs that were almost crushed by reality.
To go back to the past, to put everything back on track, to experience those peaceful days again.
They are willing to do whatever it takes.
Kuafu Base, Doomsday Research Institute.
Gu Liangyi, Yi Yan, and several people who came to the base with them from Mo University were standing outside the thick glass curtain wall, observing the reaction of the high-level zombie whose hands and feet were imprisoned on the wall after being injected with the improved version of the purification potion.
On their left were the top brass of the Kuafu base. These people were much more anxious than outsiders like them. Every one of them stared intently at the hideous zombie's every move, their eyes so eager that it seemed as if the zombie that could bite off their throats was their first love.
There is no way. Even though the lives of the top leaders are much more affluent than those of ordinary people in the base, who doesn't want to end this terrible era and live a normal life?
This is also the reason why Mo Da was able to quickly cooperate with Kuafu Base with the help of the short-haired woman.
As one of the three major human bases, the Kuafu Base is not actually short of weapons and military factories. It is easy for them to eliminate the zombies, but how to clean up the remaining zombie poison and prevent it from infecting other humans is a big problem that is enough to give them a headache and make them unable to sleep.
Mo Da's arrival was like a godsend, resolving their urgent needs.
"I really didn't expect this." Gu Liangyi said in a low voice.
He watched helplessly as the zombie's dark skin faded at a speed visible to the naked eye after being injected with the purification potion. Not far away, the performance of the higher-ups at the Kuafu base was even more exaggerated. Many of them could not help but have tears in their eyes, and many were breathing so heavily as if they were about to cry for joy.
"The purification potion given by the elves at the beginning, after being fused with blood ore, can actually cure zombie poison. Do you think that the prophet knew this day would come?"
"You seem to have said this more than once." Zhuge Xiao said thoughtfully, "We have always speculated that the so-called prophet is actually another vest of your cheap father. Father's Day on Earth is coming soon, why don't you buy some health products for him?"
Gu Liangyi: “…………”
Zhuge Xiao didn't quite understand why he suddenly rolled his eyes at him, and asked in a wronged tone, "Am I wrong? Even if aliens don't need health-preserving pillows, mattresses, or Septwolves belts, they are at least gifts from my son, so it has nothing to do with whether they need them or not."
Yi Yan paused for a moment, and decisively used his body to separate Zhuge Xiao, who was still trying to commit suicide, before the black-haired young man could completely explode: "Third brother, you should say less."
Such a serious occasion was ruined by Zhuge Xiao alone.
"Principal Zong, thank you so much!"
But the top leaders of Kuafu Base didn't seem to mind this at all. The leader was so excited that his hands were shaking. He held Zong Qinyuan's hand with one hand and put his arm around Gu Liangyi's shoulder with the other - because he also knew that Gu Liangyi was Zong Qinyuan's most valued student, and that in the previous largest zombie wave in history, the "wind-based supernatural power" of this black-haired young man was so powerful that they almost dropped their jaws.
"This tube of medicine is equivalent to saving more than 10 million people in our base, and also saving all of humanity!"
Zong Qinyuan was already very used to this kind of exaggerated thanks. He forced a polite smile and shook the other person's hand vigorously: "No, no, we just did our best."
"What are you talking about... Don't worry, leave the rest to us. If you have any requests or wishes, just ask directly! We will do our best to satisfy them!"
The smile on Zong Qinyuan's face suddenly deepened.
Seeing that Principal Zong was about to start his familiar sales tactics again, Gu Liangyi quickly found an opportunity and quickly slipped away from under the senior executive.
The news of the successful experiment quickly spread throughout the base.
"After we return this time——"
The city was bustling with people. Amid the revelry, Gu Liang subconsciously looked in the direction of Yi Yan, and those dark and deep eyes had been quietly looking back at him at some point.
There was a faint smile on Yi Yan's lips. His gaze at the young man seemed to penetrate all barriers of time and space, fade away all the dust and entanglements of the outside world, fame and fortune, and touch the cornfield swaying in the wind at the foot of the mountains.
"After we return this time, it will be our own world."
This time, he took the initiative to reach out to the black-haired young man.
Just like their first meeting.

This is the end of the extra chapter! Thank you for your company along the way, you are the biggest motivation for me to keep updating (≧▽≦)/~
The next book "Global Chasing 2" will be published in the summer vacation. Here I would like to recommend a newly published pre-collected book "Pretending to be Straight", which is a very interesting fake play true two-way secret love plot. If you like it, you can collect it~ The copy is as follows:
Ji Qiu is a rich second-generation who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
He has a childhood sweetheart with a very bad temper, named Qin Sinian.
He and Qin Sinian have been at loggerheads for many years, but everyone around them feels that their friendship is stronger than gold.
The reason is that when he was 14 years old, Qin Sinian found a wonderful trick to disgust people on the Internet:
Pretend to be gay challenge.
So he challenged Ji Qiu to a duel.
As two stubborn people who have been competing for the loudest voice since they were in the confinement center, although they are committed to opposing each other in everything, they are unprecedentedly consistent in being strong and competitive:
——I can’t admit defeat even if I die!
Under Qin Sinian's provocation, the young, ignorant and rebellious Ji Qiu gritted his teeth and accepted the challenge.
As a result, it has been installed for more than ten years.
Qin Sinian didn't say anything, and Ji Qiu didn't want to mention it either. In this way, he and Qin Sinian pretended to come out publicly, pretended to choose wedding rings, pretended to take wedding photos, and so on.
Even Ji Qiu couldn't help but admire Qin Sinian's determination and acting skills.
As a straight man, he can pretend to be like this.
It’s worthy of him!
At the urging of their parents, one sunny morning, they changed into suits they had picked for each other and sat silently in the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau waiting for their marriage registration.
An hour passed and no one spoke.
Seeing that the line was about to reach them, Ji Qiu finally couldn't hold it anymore -
When will Qin Sinian, this stubborn guy, be willing to admit defeat to him! ?
