Song Xia was completely stunned when she was chosen by the system; she couldn't understand it at all. She had never given birth, and her heart had long since turned to ice, so why was she chose...
"Aunt Song, let's go."
Song Xia patted Song Zi'an's head, meaning to tell him not to be afraid.
"I'm not afraid." Song Zi'an was just a little reluctant. He had decided that if he couldn't be cured, he would come back immediately.
On the way, Min Hui explained to them: "If ordinary people want to enter the base, they usually have to undergo three days of observation to confirm that they are not infected with the zombie virus before they can be released. Of course, with our guarantee, you only need to be tested with instruments. A nurse will draw your blood later, so don't resist."
"Hmm." Song Ziming nodded. "Is there anything else I should be aware of?"
"Also, once you enter the base, no matter how pitiful the people seem, try not to give them food."
Speaking of this, Min Hui's voice was somewhat heavy: "Because there are endless ordinary people in the base who can be helped. If you give to one, countless others will pop up and ask you to give to them. If they know where you live, these people will even break into your house."
The team member added, "Our team actually had seven people before. Once, we went out to search for supplies and brought back quite a lot. Xiao Zhang took pity on us and gave food to two children and an elderly person. Later, more and more people gathered around him, and we went to stop them, which allowed Xiao Zhang to escape, but..."
At this point, the team member paused for a moment, and Lao Hei continued, "That night we all went out drinking. Xiao Zhang didn't like to drink, so he stayed at the lodging. In the middle of the night, some kids came to steal, and he couldn't bear to drive them away. Then a group of kids came in. Seeing that they were not in control, Xiao Zhang tried to stop them. He was caught off guard and one of the kids stabbed him in the stomach."
The team member smiled bitterly: "Although we are superhumans, we are still just mortals. By the time we got back, Xiao Zhang's body would be cold."
Old Hei sneered: "When we cleaned Xiao Zhang's body, his face and body were covered in mud. Those kids were carrying things back and forth by stepping on his body."
Song Ziming, Song Ziqi, and Song Zian all fell silent after hearing this, unsure of what to say.
Min Hui patted Song Zi'an's head: "Your mother has protected you too well. You don't know how dangerous it is outside. After the apocalypse, many people are no longer normal people just for a bite to eat."
“We understand.” Song Ziming nodded; he would definitely not let his guard down.
Min Hui then looked at Song Ziqi and said, "Ziqi, once you enter the base, don't trust anyone except us brothers."
Song Ziqi responded blankly; she vaguely knew something, but didn't fully understand it.
So Min Hui explained again: "Besides women with superpowers or women who are attached to powerful superpowered individuals, there are very few people in the base with such a healthy complexion and such clean and tidy clothes as you. Especially since you are so young, you can tell that you are inexperienced. Since the apocalypse, some people have taken advantage of their superpowers to indulge their desires. And even if they do something, because they have superpowers, the base administrators will choose to ignore it afterwards. In other words, unless someone can help them take revenge, they will not be punished."
Song Ziming's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fists. If anyone dared to do anything to Ziqi, he would not be polite.
"In short, remember, never act alone in the base. It's not like before, there are surveillance cameras everywhere. Although the base only occupies half of H City, if it's hidden somewhere, it will be very difficult for us to find it."
Song Ziqi sighed helplessly: "I thought the base would be a sanctuary for people."
"Who would be so kind? And who has such strong abilities? Those with superpowers who felt oppressed before the apocalypse have long since gained power. It's difficult to make them obey. As for ordinary people, if they are given enough safety and food, would they still think about working in this apocalypse? Let alone risking their lives to search for supplies."
"The apocalypse changes not only the world, but also people's hearts."
"Do you know how surprised we were when we first saw you? Although you were all wary, the clarity in your eyes was something the children in the base didn't have."
Thirty miles isn't a long distance; after chatting for a few minutes, we arrived at our destination.
The base's gate was very tall, which deeply impressed Song Ziming and his group.
"I didn't expect the city walls to be so high."
"It wasn't this high before, but once when a zombie horde came, some zombie animals jumped right in, so it was raised later."
"There are some key areas in the air that have been reinforced with electric fences. Remember, do not enter any areas that have been reinforced with electric fences."
Old Hei scoffed: "Those people think they have some power and act recklessly. I think this base is doomed sooner or later. They haven't even resolved the conflict with the zombies, and they're already playing power games. Who knows, they might ruin themselves one day."
"Why is the management so chaotic? I thought the base would be as harmonious as it was before the apocalypse."
"Those who used to be in power no longer have superpowers, and those who now have superpowers are unwilling to be ordered around by ordinary people, so they have slowly become what they are now."
"I wonder if the other bases are any better than the White Tiger Base."
"Where there are people, there will be competition. I don't hold out much hope."
The squad silently drove into the base's gate. There appeared to be only one gate, but it actually concealed a hidden secret.
Each vehicle has a designated parking area, and they must be registered and inspected. Some superhumans will even grab whatever they want during the inspection, unless they know that the person being inspected is very powerful.
When Song Ziming entered, he heard noises and fighting. On the other hand, the people responsible for checking them were quiet and well-behaved from the moment they entered.
"Brother Min, why did you bring back three children this time?"
"These are my nephew and niece, there are nine of us. The supplies we handed over are here. Do you see if the quantity is correct?"
"Brother Min, you're an old acquaintance, when have you ever made a mistake?" Although he smiled like that, his men didn't stop checking, which Min Hui and his men were used to.
After counting and confirming the numbers were correct, the group smiled and saw Min Hui and his companions off to another location: "As usual, blood collection. Brother Min, you've explained the rules to your three nephews and nieces, right?"
"I did say that."
Min Hui led Song Ziqi and the others over. Song Ziqi felt uncomfortable all over. Even after they passed through a door, she could still feel that kind of gaze that made her skin crawl.
Moreover, since she arrived here, everyone has been looking at her strangely, until Min Hui slammed his fist on the table.
"What are you looking at? Don't you want your eyes out of the way?" Old Hei said in a gruff voice.
"We're just watching our own thing, what's it to you? Min Hui, are all your team members this domineering? We're watching her because we respect her." As he spoke, the man whistled at Song Ziqi.
It wasn't just their small team that came in for testing; there were about twenty or thirty people, all crammed into this room waiting for the results.
Min Hui looked over coldly: "If I find out that anyone speaks ill of my niece or makes a move on her, even if they die, I will drag them down to hell with me."
Everyone at the White Tiger Base knew that Min Hui was easy to talk to. Since that incident, no one had seen him like this before, and the whole room fell silent instantly.
