Lin Man in the Apocalypse

For seventeen years in the apocalypse, the fields yielded no crops. Lin Man and her mother struggled daily on the brink of starvation and thirst, until one day, she obtained a space.

Chapter 149

While Lin Cheng had already entered the zombie state, Lin Zhongrong was preparing to set off.

He ignored the opposition and decided to take all the infected people affiliated with the Reunion Base to receive treatment from the Goddess of Fertility, and he would lead the team himself to prevent the Goddess of Fertility from using any dirty tricks.

It was at this time that the people returning triumphantly from S City learned that over two-thirds of them had been infected with the zombie virus. Of course, upon returning home, the uninfected and the infected were separated. The uninfected were allowed to return to base, but the infected were not. They were still being held together in a concentrated area. Over time, even a fool could see the problem. Just as everyone was speculating, this bolt from the blue struck them.

Then, before they could come to their senses, they received another piece of news that the infected people in the Reunion Base would be taken away. Upon inquiring, they found out that they would be taken to the other side of the ocean, to the former country M, to receive treatment. Worried that they would be uneasy and disbelieving, Lin Zhongrong sent his confidants to explain and comfort them.

This confidant was Han Yeqing. When Lin Cheng was on a mission abroad, he was finally promoted from a not very important subordinate to Lin Zhongrong's first assistant. Many times he could even directly represent Lin Zhongrong.

All these comforting actions were quite effective. Before the infected people in the Reunion Base were frightened by the shadow of death above their heads, a hand reached out and pushed away some of the shadow, allowing them to see some light.

In comparison, the infected people in the other three bases are in a very bad situation.

Because they found that they were not treated so well. From all indications, their base had decided to abandon them and sent people to restrict their movements, as if they were preparing to trap them to death in this garrison.

How could they sit and wait for death?

Fan Xuan, Chen Shan and Xiong An are the leaders of the three groups of infected people respectively. As the only four infected people who knew about it before, they have established a deep friendship with Guo Teng and they also appreciate each other. Under the cover of their own people, the three of them found an opportunity to find Guo Teng who was busy boarding a plane. In their eyes, it was as if he was about to board Noah's Ark. They expressed to him their wish that the reunion base would take them to play together.

Guo Teng was a little embarrassed, but he was also quite loyal, so he informed Han Yeqing of their demands, and Han Yeqing passed the information to Lin Zhongrong through secret channels.

Lin Zhongrong had actually expected this to happen. Logically, he had no position or qualifications to care about the infected people in the other three bases, but if the other party came to him for help, he could not just stand by and watch them die. He talked with the three people headed by Fan Xuan for a while and reached a consensus. So soon after, the number of planes leaving the base increased threefold. By the time the other three bases got the news, all the infected people in the base had run away, and the people they sent to look after the infected were knocked down and locked up.

Lin Man had been paying attention to that side and soon got the news. She felt a little strange and asked Lin Cheng why those three bases had such an attitude. Don’t they care about the lives of their own people at all?

Lin Cheng said, first of all, no one wanted to take on such a responsibility: traveling so far to a completely unfamiliar and unknown place, the Zombie King's territory, and bringing a group of highly dangerous infected people with them. What if they escaped? What if they suddenly transformed into zombies? From every perspective, this journey was fraught with risk. Not everyone was as skilled and daring as Lin Zhongrong.

Secondly, the distance is too long and the round-trip cost is too high. Moreover, we have to make this trip every year just to save two or three hundred people, so the effort and reward are not commensurate.

"Aren't they afraid that the infected people will rebel?" Lin Man asked.

Lin Cheng answered slowly in a hoarse voice: "Don't we have a superior?" They should have expected that Lin Zhongrong would not sit idly by, and perhaps they wanted to force him to take over the three groups of infected people. Anyway, he had to go there in person, whether he took one group or four groups. If he refused to take them, the infected people and their families would probably hate him the most. If he was willing to take them, the other three bases would not have to pay anything and could reap the benefits. If something went wrong, they could still put the blame on Lin Zhongrong - was it him who took the initiative to rob people?

Lin Man thought for a long time before he figured out the whole thing, and immediately became very annoyed. If this was true, it was too shameless!

Lin Cheng comforted her: "Don't worry, the commander knows what's going on." Lin Zhongrong hated scheming and coercion the most. There were not many people in this world who could scheme against him, and scheme against him in such a disgusting way.

Lin Man thought about it and agreed. Her father was very fierce and was a little worried that the Goddess of Childbirth would cheat. Just as he was worried, Lin Zhongrong came back three days later. He brought back the same number of people as he had taken there. It was as if he had just taken the team on a sightseeing tour. The thrills that others imagined did not happen at all. And a few days later, he ran to Dayan Mountain.

Lin Man hurriedly asked him about his trip to Country M.

Lin Zhongrong said, "There are zombies and humans over there, and they seem to be getting along pretty well. Both sides worship the Goddess of Childbirth as a deity." He added with a touch of amusement and sarcasm, "The Goddess of Childbirth is dressed like a great leader, with slicked-back gray hair and ghostly white skin. She lives in a spooky church, and ordinary people go there to worship, some even asking to be turned into zombies."

Lin Man asked: "Why would anyone want to become a zombie?"

"I don't know what method the Goddess of Childbirth uses, but she has several zombies under her command whose movements and speech are almost human. They call the process of becoming a zombie a baptism or something, believing that as long as they survive and become human again, they will gain powerful strength and a longer life." Lin Zhongrong paused and said, "It's like a cult."

Lin Zhongrong smiled and said, "But don't worry, I'm not a bad dad either. I showed them my skills with the hammer you gave me. I frightened the zombies and people so much that even the Goddess of Childbirth changed her attitude."

This business can go smoothly thanks to the hammer. The hammer, combined with his lightning power, creates a noise that is comparable to that in science fiction movies.

Lin Man asked him, can the Zombie King really suppress the virus?

Lin Zhongrong nodded in affirmation. All the infected had been there for days, and there had been no signs of them turning into zombies. Furthermore, clinical verification had shown that even their blood wasn't infectious. It was truly miraculous. This also made Lin Zhongrong wary of the Goddess of Childbirth. That guy had a lot of mystical tricks up his sleeve. They were all zombie kings, and this one was clearly the king of kings.

Lin Zhongrong said, "Logically, it would be best to gather our forces and destroy him now, but it would definitely come at a huge cost. No one wants to risk their lives right now, and we ourselves need to recuperate." He shook his head and sighed, "We can only let him develop. Maybe he just wants to be his Grand Master."

Lin Man thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, how many humans do you estimate there are over there?"

Lin Zhongrong answered quickly: "It's about the same as here, just a few million." He had conducted an on-site investigation and had professionals make an estimate after returning.
