In every book, there's a scumbag, despicable and shameless, selfish and insidious, who brings misery to countless others. When the boss takes on the scumbag script, they can turn the tables in ...
Tao Rui informed everyone of the news through electronic broadcasting. At that time, everyone in the base stopped what they were doing instantly, as if they had pressed the pause button.
What followed was disbelief. That legendary safe base was so large, supposedly housing tens of thousands of people. How could it just vanish? Even if zombies attacked the city, how large could the swarm be? Wouldn't one person be able to kill them all? Even someone with superpowers could wipe out a whole swarm.
There is nothing wrong with their small base. They built it with their own hands, and it is not as solid as the safe base.
Everyone was puzzled and a little panicked at the same time.
If even the base that was said to be very safe fell, what about this base?
After giving everyone three minutes to react, Tao Rui continued on the radio, "We've lost contact with the security base and have no information on the situation there. However, we do know that City A has a large permanent population, which means there are a lot of zombies. Although we have teams out every day clearing out the zombies, the number we've cleared is just a drop in the bucket compared to the total number."
We're not too far from the airport, and I believe everyone knows how many zombies there are in the airport."
"But everyone has been living here for six months, and our situation has been pretty good, so there's no need to panic. What we need to do now is to intensify our training every day and do our best to improve our combat effectiveness. I also hope that everyone will pack their most important belongings and place their bags, food, and weapons near the door of the dormitory.
If anything happens at the base, everyone can grab their belongings and move immediately. There will be an evacuation drill later, so everyone must take it seriously so that when the actual evacuation comes, there won't be any panic."
As everyone listened to Tao Rui's calm voice, their emotions were somewhat soothed and they gradually calmed down.
After Tao Rui finished telling the bad news, he announced a good news.
"Everyone knows that I've been conducting research in the medical field for the past six months. Aside from seeing patients, I've rarely been seen. This might be confusing. I've heard some people think I'm putting the cart before the horse and that I should be more involved in building the base and expanding it, rather than keeping it small."
Tao Rui chuckled and said with a hint of joy, "Today I want to tell you that I'm not putting the cart before the horse. I've developed an anti-venom pill to fight the zombie virus. Of course, this anti-venom pill is still in its early stages and can't completely eliminate the virus, but as long as someone takes it immediately after being bitten, the zombie virus will only stay in the wound. Then, if the wound tissue containing the virus is cut off in time, the bitten person will be safe.
Like other elixirs, the Anti-Poison Pill requires work points. The work points aren't very high, so please work hard. Also, to celebrate the successful development of the Anti-Poison Pill, we're giving one to everyone today. Please keep it safe.
As soon as the broadcast stopped, earth-shaking cheers broke out in the square.
They'd been at the base for so long that they'd gotten to know Tao Rui well; he was always decisive and never spoke empty words. Since he'd said so bluntly today that the anti-poison pills were effective, then they definitely were, no doubt about it.
People like Liang Yurou were very skeptical, but the cheers drowned them out, and everyone immediately ran to line up and receive the pills from Xie Qiulan, hiding them on their bodies like treasures.
They didn't have to worry about losing anything in the base because Tao Rui had installed numerous surveillance cameras, even the plants themselves. All petty thieves and lawbreakers were kicked out by Tao Rui, showing no mercy. After such brutal consequences occurred several times, those who remained lived well, and the base was safer than before the apocalypse.
That day felt like Chinese New Year. Everyone's previous panic had vanished, and smiles graced their faces. Of course, they hadn't forgotten the crisis Tao Rui had mentioned. Those who loved cultivation began practicing, while those who didn't began training and practicing with weapons.
Ji Yingying and Lei Xiao divided them into groups. Every day, the team leaders would pick a time to organize training for the team members, and not a single day wasted. Now, the results can be seen faintly.
After Xie Qiulan distributed all the anti-poison pills, she returned to the small building and gathered with Tao Rui and the others. She said with a smile, "The anti-poison pills are really great. The kids were so happy to receive them."
Zhou Yangyang asked curiously, "What if a zombie bites an artery? Would it cause heavy bleeding? Can the wound be healed?"
Tao Rui controlled the water in his cup to form a column of water that circled around him and then fell back into his cup. He smiled and said, "If the person whose artery was bitten had a water-type ability nearby, he could survive."
Zhou Yangyang suddenly remembered how, when he first arrived at the fishing ground, Tao Rui had taken all the blood the villain had left on the ground and reabsorbed it, forcing him to suffer for days before dying. His eyes lit up. "So, that means, as long as the injured person takes the elixir and finds uncle in time, they'll definitely survive? Uncle, you're amazing! I believe you'll eventually develop an elixir that can kill all the zombies!"
Tao Rui raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Thank you for your trust. Okay, now that everyone is gathered, what are your thoughts on the destruction of the safe base?"
Lei Xiao was the first to speak up, "It's not safe here either. I already know of a place with a military base that's safer. We should move there. The road is dangerous, though. It's not far, but with so many people, it's still easy for something to happen."
Xia Lin, who had been in charge of various matters at the base, looked a little serious. "We should also consider one thing: our fishery base has already gained a reputation. Now that the safe base is destroyed, will anyone come to us for refuge? How many people will come? We can't accommodate too many people. If we expand further, the base will become a very long rectangle, which is not suitable."
Tao Rui nodded. "Besides, there's a lake to the east and a mountain to the north. If we need to escape, we can't escape to either side. Even if we escape to the road, we can't escape to the airport. So there's only one way to escape. It's too limited. We must relocate."
Qin Yu asked, "If we all leave, what will happen to those who escape from the safe base and join us?"
The safe base originally housed tens of thousands of people, and theirs was the closest to that base. Their reputation had recently grown, and word had spread of their ability to cultivate supernatural powers. No one knew how many would flock to join them. If they failed, not only would they not despair, but they wouldn't even be able to survive. This made their journey to the safe base incredibly challenging.
Ji Yingying suddenly had an idea. "Can we advertise? We could put up notices about our destination in prominent places across City A, set up road signs along the way, spray paint messages on doors and cars, and hang banners in the woods near the road..."
In short, we want to make sure that people who come to us will know that we have moved away halfway through, and then turn and rush in the right direction. What do you think?"
After a few thoughts, they decided this method was feasible. It was simple and effective. While advertising would be troublesome, it wouldn't be too dangerous if a few psychics were involved.
So from that day on, the psychics led by Qin Yu began to go out frequently, looking for all places that could be used for advertising, and collecting all things that could be used for advertising. Ji Yingying, the former big star, wrote the copy, expressing the clearest meaning in the simplest words.
Lei Xiao carefully planned the route based on the military base information provided by some soldiers to ensure that vehicles could pass through, and then went out to find more trucks, buses and gasoline.
Xie Qiulan refined more daily elixirs, Tao Yuanfeng refined more weapons, Ji Yingying also spent more time inspecting everyone's practice every day, and even Wang Wei was cooking from morning to night, making pancakes and other foods that were not easy to spoil and could satisfy hunger.
The residents were quick to notice the commotion, so Tao Rui took a day to announce the upcoming relocation in the square.
The new base was a military base. Among other things, its security was quite high, offering advantages over other places in terms of both defense against foreign enemies and resistance against zombies. The only downside was that it was said there were many zombies in the base, hundreds, perhaps even thousands.
I don't know if they've emerged yet. If they haven't, there might still be level 2 or 3 zombies. So after arriving, I have to clear out the zombies before checking into the base.
Some people were reluctant to move because they knew how dangerous the road would be, but Tao Rui also explained the disadvantages of the fishery base to everyone.
Tao Rui and the others had to leave, so those who wanted to stay could only run the fishery base on their own.
There are actually people who want to stay, about fifty people. This is normal. They are used to living here. There are no zombies around and there is not much danger. They have also learned how to kill zombies, and they feel that their chances of survival are greater if they stay than if they move.
Tao Rui asked Xia Lin to persuade them. If they insisted, he would give them some food, poultry, livestock and weapons, and said that he would give the fishing base to them after he left.
The entire base began to pack up, and Tao Rui showed his spatial ability for the first time.
Everyone at the base was shocked, because Tao Rui's three-element superpower had spread throughout the continent, and no one with three-element superpowers had ever been seen anywhere else. But it turned out that he didn't have three-element superpowers, he had four!!!
After Tao Rui demonstrated his spatial ability, he said that he would store everyone's food on the road, and many public supplies in the base would also be stored by him. Then he mentioned the names of Liang Yurou and two other spatial ability users.
Tao Rui smiled and said to them, "My spatial ability hasn't been upgraded much, so the space is limited. I can only carry these things. Please help everyone pack the items you need to take away. Everyone should try to travel light so that you don't have to carry a backpack when you need to fight.
Of course, there will be generous rewards for requisitioning your space, and there will be special people with special abilities to protect you. As far as I know, Liang Yurou's space is at least three times the size of mine, and it should be able to accommodate everyone's beds, tables and chairs.
We're moving there, and we don't know what the situation will be like yet, so take whatever you can. Remember to write down your names on your belongings. If something unexpected happens along the way and you need space, like food, you can throw away the furniture and find it when you get to the military base."
The two space-ability users agreed without hesitation. Their spaces were relatively small, about the size of a 30-square-meter room, but they could still help store a lot of things.
Since both of them agreed, Liang Yurou naturally had no choice but to agree as well.
Tao Rui smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness. Everyone will definitely be grateful to you."
Damn kind! Liang Yurou's nerves tensed up reflexively when she heard these two words, but she didn't want to reveal her true face, so she could only continue pretending.
It was just that she had known they were leaving, and she had even agreed to help a few people pack their things, hoping to win them over. Now that Tao Rui had done this, it became the base's credit. Why was it so difficult for her to win over some people?
After Tao Rui calmed everyone down, he personally led the team to do advertising.
He has wood-related abilities and Fan Qi has gold-related abilities. Working together, they can easily lift the advertisement and place it anywhere, then fix it with metal.
On the most conspicuous locations of the high-rise buildings in City A, huge posters of celebrities are hung, but what is exposed is the back of the poster, on which is written in red spray paint the date and time. Most of the people at the fishery base will leave and head to a certain place and direction.
It also states that the fishery base will leave behind dozens of people who are unwilling to relocate, but there will be no psychics or soldiers.
This way, everyone who passes by will have their own choice.
Within a few days, they had put up advertisements in most places in City A. They even spray-painted words and drew arrows on the glass windows and doors of many streets.
The people at the base also prepared a lot of wooden signs to be put up along the roadside.
Everything was ready, and Tao Rui was about to leave when one of the people who were out collecting supplies was bitten on the arm by a zombie. The people who were traveling with him nervously drove the person back and hurriedly found Tao Rui.
Everyone rushed to the small building and looked at the person being carried into the yard with extreme nervousness.
Tao Rui came out of the small building and immediately checked the wound and asked, "Have you taken the anti-poison pill?"
"I ate it! I ate it right after I was bitten!"
"How do you feel?"
The injured person felt it carefully and shook his head, "I don't feel anything, just the wound hurts a little."
"Is this the only wound? Are you feeling any other discomfort?"
"It's just this one wound, there's no other discomfort."
Tao Rui squatted in front of him and said speechlessly: "Then why are you lying here? I think someone else carried you back."
The injured man uttered an "Ah!" and sat up, scratching his head in embarrassment. "I'm just scared, aren't I? They were scared too, so they told me to stay still and not to cause any more bad influences."
Tao Rui smiled and said, "No, I'll tell you if there are any precautions. Everyone, remember, take the anti-venom pill immediately after being bitten, and then you'll be fine. Just treat the wound within 24 hours. During this time, the wound will be treated like a normal wound."
Everyone nodded, no one spoke, and they all watched Tao Rui deal with it.
Seeing this, Tao Rui simply asked someone to bring a chair for the injured person, took out a medicine box, and treated his wounds in front of everyone so that everyone could understand the process.
Liang Yurou stared at Tao Rui closely. She couldn't believe it. She had the spiritual spring to be immune to the zombie virus. How could Tao Rui, a doctor, really develop something to fight the virus? She had never seen Tao Rui so talented before. How could he be so outstanding just because the apocalypse had arrived?
Tao Rui sterilized the scalpel and gave the victim an anesthetic pill, which acted like an anesthetic. Then, with professional and decisive techniques, he shaved off the mark on the victim's arm.
What was scraped off was almost a thin layer of skin, and only the two or three spots that were bleeding were cut deeper, but the injured person was not bleeding at all.
Someone asked in shock: "Can anesthetic pills stop bleeding? How...how come there wasn't a single drop of blood after the scalpel? There wasn't even blood on the scalpel!!!"
Zhou Yangyang shouted, "I know! Because Brother Rui's water ability has reached level five, he can control other people's blood. If he doesn't let the blood flow, the blood won't flow!"
"Ah? Water-based abilities can control blood?"
"...I also have water abilities, so why can't I? Do I need to be level five?"
Zhou Yangyang shook her head. "No, it was already possible when Brother Rui reached level 2. In fact, you should be bolder and study all possible forms of superpowers. Don't be limited to just a few. Imagine boldly. You might even be able to develop a method that others don't know how to use.
By the way, being able to control someone's blood means that if you want to kill them, you just need to control their blood flow or stop it from flowing. I can do that, too. I can freeze someone's blood. Oh, and I can't control someone with a higher level of ability than me.
Zhou Yangyang thought this move was amazing. Although he had never done this before, he knew he could do it.
However, this was the first time everyone knew that killing people in this way was possible, and they were instantly horrified, and even more in awe of Tao Rui's core team. Especially those who had previously been dissatisfied with or questioned Tao Rui, they instantly felt a chill run down their spines, filled with fear.
Zhou Yangyang shrugged and said playfully, "So don't betray us. It's up to you whether you want to stay or leave, but never sell us out, otherwise... Hehe, I think we can issue a hunting order and offer a reward of food and crystal cores."
"...No, I won't betray you."
"No one would betray the base...definitely not..."
Zhou Yangyang, a bratty little kid, actually used this incident to give everyone a serious shakeup. With so many residents, there are bound to be diverse personalities and all sorts of ideas. Peaceful coexistence is important, but in this chaotic apocalypse, deterrence is also crucial. If the base is to remain safe, no one can be allowed to engage in mischief.
While Zhou Yangyang was shocking everyone, Tao Rui had already sprinkled medicinal powder on the injured area, bandaged him, and prescribed him a bottle of pain-relieving pills and a bottle of spiritual-tonifying pills.
The injured man truly felt as though he were fine. The feeling of being unharmed after being bitten by a zombie was strange, like a dream. He paid the crystal core without hesitation, immediately swallowed the elixir, and returned to the dormitory to rest.
His roommates and some curious people gathered in his dormitory, but did not disturb him. They let him rest well and then observed whether he would mutate.
As a result, one night passed, and then another day passed, and he did not mutate. He also looked energetic because his qi and blood were replenished by the elixir.
Liang Yurou was shocked. This was totally beyond her expectations. Not long after, someone came to ask her when she could upgrade her superpowers and whether her healing power could also cure the zombie virus after it was upgraded.
She suddenly felt a deep sense of crisis. What she had always been proud of was her magical space. The space was so big that she could hide in it, and there was a spiritual spring that could heal everything.
But what about now? Tao Rui's space was not small, and there were other space users in the base. After she refused the daily task of collecting supplies, they never contacted her again. Her space had been idle for a long time. She could only plant fruit trees in it and secretly eat the good things for herself. There was no other use for it.
As for hiding, she didn't need to hide in the base. If she was alone, the months she had been hiding had already left her with psychological trauma. Unless she was about to die, she never wanted to hide again!
Besides, the spiritual spring water, possessing healing powers only she possessed, was originally unique. But Tao Rui unexpectedly developed a variety of pills, including those for colds, stomach ailments, and headaches. Her collection grew increasingly comprehensive, and everyone knew that overuse of supernatural powers would exhaust them and require replenishment. Therefore, everyone considered her ability to heal limited. They almost assumed that only those with injuries and bleeding would seek her treatment, while other ailments were treated with medication.
Because there are countless pills, Xie Qiulan makes them every day and sells them very cheaply. Everyone has become accustomed to it. This way of taking medicine to treat diseases is more reliable and more familiar to them.
Now Tao Rui has actually developed a medicine to fight the zombie virus, so it wouldn’t be surprising if she could cure the zombie virus!
Could it be that the only benefit of her spiritual spring water is to beautify her skin?
Besides this, what else can it bring? Going to work every day and getting a generous salary? She doesn't like going to work at all, okay?
Liang Yurou was almost going crazy. She felt that Tao Rui was her nemesis, but she couldn't leave now. No one was as powerful as Tao Rui and the other core figures. She couldn't find anyone who could protect her and take her away. She was really angry.
So now that Tao Rui is moving, she has no choice but to move with him.
People came to ask her if she could cure the zombie virus after the upgrade, but she could only give a perfunctory answer. Then she inexplicably felt that everyone's eyes were like "Why are you so useless?"
A person with healing abilities is actually not as good as a doctor.
Ke; therefore, Qiao Zhan Ren is reliable.
The injured man was so happy that he immediately ran to buy several more anti-poison pills, almost spending all his accumulated crystal cores.
The others were also overjoyed. For the first time, the anti-poison pill had proven effective, just as Tao Rui had predicted. This not only meant they had a few more lives saved, but also showed that Tao Rui was truly amazing. There was hope for the future!
The anti-poison pills instantly became a hot commodity, with many people rushing to buy them. Tao Rui simply limited them to only buying one more pill each, and they could only buy more after using it on the way. After all, refining pills required medicinal materials, and they didn't know what they would need in the future, so they couldn't use all the medicinal materials on this one.
Most of the herbs in Tao Rui's herb garden were collected in the mountains. He went back into the mountains again, and this time he collected almost all of them. He also caught a lot of rabbits, wild boars, pheasants, and other animals in the mountains. So, of the small animals at the base, he only took half with him, leaving the other half for the people who stayed at the fishery base.
They set off at the time indicated in the advertisement. There were more than twenty large and small vehicles in total, and the passenger bus was a double-decker with large capacity.
Everyone on the bus wore glasses, masks, gloves, raincoats, and boots, and held weapons. With around a thousand people, they looked quite imposing. The sides and back of their bus were spray-painted with words: "Fishery Base Relocation." If I met someone on the road, I might be able to recruit them directly.
Those who stayed behind watched them leave through binoculars from several observation towers, and no one spoke.
The vast base suddenly became empty. They were perplexed. Was staying here truly the right thing to do? But was running away also the right thing to do? They were tired of running and didn't want to run any further. If the zombies truly broke through, then, well, that was it.
After the twenty or so cars were no longer visible, they walked down silently and unknowingly arrived at the spirit gathering array set up by Tao Rui.
Before leaving, Tao Rui specially rearranged and strengthened the spirit gathering array.
They stood there in silence for a while, and someone said, "Let's practice cultivation. Perhaps if we awaken our supernatural powers, we can live a better life. Mr. Tao left us so many things and such good conditions. We would be so sorry to him if we don't live well."
"Yes, I feel bad for myself. Let's practice hard. When we become really strong, maybe I will have the courage to go to the new base."
"Yes, come on, let's help each other and improve together!"
As for those who stayed, they became even more united, all moved into the small building, and became more devoted to cultivation than anyone else. From this perspective, staying might actually be a good thing.
Tao Rui's car was in the front, with Ji Yingying and his grandparents in it.
After the car drove a long way, they saw Tao Rui's advertisement, which was really eye-catching.
Tao Yuanfeng said, "Xiao Rui, at first, we accepted those hundred or so people, and then it really became a base, and gradually it grew to this large population. Now we have to relocate the base, to an unknown place to start a new life, and accept even more people, possibly tens of thousands, or even more. Are you... stressed?"
This was something Grandpa and Grandma had wanted to ask Tao Rui for a long time, but they hadn't wanted to upset him because he'd been so busy. Besides, Tao Rui was doing research, and the base's management was shared among others, so he didn't have to worry too much. Now that we're moving and expanding the base, things are different. Isn't the burden a bit too heavy?
Ji Yingying also looked at Tao Rui worriedly. They really had never thought of making the base so big before, but now, in order to prevent those who came to the fishing base from despairing, they even made advertisements and road signs, which meant that there would be more and more people in the base in the future.
Tao Rui drove the car and said with a nonchalant smile, "It doesn't matter now. Don't worry. If the pressure really gets too great in the future, I won't accept outsiders. Besides, we won't accept everyone who comes to join us. You see, the advertisement actually lists some of the base's rules. Those who feel they can't accept the rules may not come, and those who come and can't stand it will leave again.
Especially those who have been to other bases, they feel that other places are much freer, the strong are supreme, and there are many gray areas. But our base, on the other hand, is just as law-abiding as before the apocalypse, and we have to train every day, which is not something everyone can accept.
The three nodded, it was indeed true. Some of the people who had come to their base before also left because they didn't like their rules.
And as long as Tao Rui is not under pressure now, there will naturally be subsequent solutions.
They drove all the way, clearing out zombies along the way, but they kept turning left and right, and it took them half a day to get out of City A.
After all, City A is where they often clear zombies. There are not many zombies in places they usually go to, but outside City A, the zombies are very free. Just in the afternoon, they encountered a group of zombies with hundreds of people wandering around, which just blocked their way!
Tao Rui made a prompt decision and stopped the car. "Everyone get out and kill the zombies. Those with good skills should step forward, while those who are weaker should be cautious. Go ahead!"
His voice was clearly just of normal volume, but it seemed to ring in everyone's ears. Everyone was startled and shocked by Tao Rui once again, but then they lined up and ran out of the car in a well-trained manner, consciously finding their respective team leaders and rushing towards the zombie group.
Everyone is a soldier, and that's no joke. Even those in their 50s and 10-year-old ranks can spear zombies, perform military boxing, and dodge quickly. Children who aren't tall enough will even trip over zombies before killing them. Not a single one of them backs down.
Except for Liang Yurou, she hid in the car and didn't get out. Since she was a therapist, no one minded.
The results of half a year of training at the base were fully demonstrated at this moment. Each of them had been practicing for half a year, and they would take spiritual tonic pills whenever they had time. They had more or less spiritual power in their bodies. When they fought with the zombies at this time, they found that their physical strength was really much better than before, and their morale suddenly soared.
A thousand people killed a hundred zombies, and it ended quickly after a chaos.
Among them was a second-level earth-type zombie, mixed in with the zombie group, and stabbed several people with earth spikes. Everyone was fully armed, and only two people were bitten by the zombies after being stabbed. Then Qin Yu killed the second-level earth-type zombie with a chopstick.
The two quickly retreated to the back, took the anti-poison pills, and ran to find Tao Rui, who quickly bandaged their wounds. The other stabbed people ran to Liang Yurou, and Fu Jinghe asked her for treatment. Although medicine could cure them, they were on their way and must not leave any wounds, otherwise what would happen in the next fight?
Although more people came to Liang Yuruo than Tao Rui this time, she still fell into a deep sense of crisis, because they would not keep traveling forever. When they arrived at the new base and Tao Rui developed more medicines, would anyone come to her for treatment?
It felt like she had suddenly gone from being a high-ranking healing expert to an ordinary medical staff member who was dispensable in the base.
Liang Yurou decided that this couldn't go on. She had to prove her worth to gain status. Otherwise, not only would she be admired, but even ordinary respect would soon disappear.
So when they encountered a group of zombies again at night, before the bitten people could find Tao Rui, Liang Yurou stood up and said, "My superpowers have been upgraded today. I can treat the zombie virus. Let me treat you."
The fight was not very clear in the dark, but a total of sixteen people were bitten this time.
Tao Rui came over after hearing Liang Yurou's words. They immediately looked at him, a mixture of anticipation and distrust. Liang Yurou's healing ability seemed to be hit or miss, like when she couldn't heal some stomachaches, or when a child developed a high fever due to her ability, she thought the child was seriously ill and dying. No one was as reliable as Tao Rui.
Tao Rui stood nearby and said, "Please ask Miss Liang to treat you. I'll be watching here. If there are any problems, the anti-poison pills will last for 24 hours."
The zombie horde had been eliminated, and it was getting late. They needed to rest here for a night, which was plenty of time for treatment. So the sixteen people lined up and asked Liang Yurou to help treat them. After all, if something went wrong, Tao Rui could still save them.
Liang Yurou was furious at their distrust, but who could she blame? It was her own fault for trying to act cool and failing to do so, leaving people with the impression that she was unreliable and prone to misdiagnosis. The only way to improve her image now was to cure the zombie virus.
She could heal bites without needing anti-venom pills. Such a precious ability would surely spread quickly, becoming known to everyone. If Tao Rui treated her but didn't cherish her, she doubted other bases would be able to do the same. When the time came, someone with good vision would surely invite her over, and she would once again be the center of attention.
This is definitely her best way to "jump job".
Liang Yurou thought of the bright future and didn't care about the fatigue of treating everyone. She smiled gently and kindly, maintaining her saintly persona.
Tao Rui saw that she specifically asked for a bucket of water, poured water for everyone to drink, and then said that it was to disinfect the wound. In fact, she just applied the spiritual spring water on the wound and pretended to "activate the healing power."
Tao Rui carefully checked on the people she had treated, feeling relieved. Liang Yurou hadn't played tricks on him, but he still insisted on checking everyone again, only then announcing that Liang Yurou's healing ability had truly been upgraded, allowing her to directly heal those bitten by zombies.
Everyone was jubilant again, but because they were outdoors, everyone subconsciously lowered their voices, and no smiling faces could be seen in the darkness. It was completely different from the excitement and liveliness when Tao Rui announced the anti-poison pill.
Liang Yurou felt such a huge psychological gap that she didn't feel any joy at all, and she became even more determined to leave the base.
That night, no one dared to sleep soundly. This was the first time they had felt so uneasy since entering the fishing base. Fortunately, the Soul-Replenishing Pills could replenish spiritual power, which was equivalent to replenishing energy and physical strength. Even though they didn't sleep well, they didn't feel tired the next day.
There was a lot of food in Tao Rui's basement. In the morning, he gave each person a piece of bread and a glass of water, and then set off again at dawn.
This time they passed through a city adjacent to City A. Someone suggested going into the city and collecting a lot of supplies to put into the space. After all, everything would have to start all over again when they arrived at the military base. It was obvious that the place must be very remote and it would be difficult to find food.
However, after Tao Rui discussed it with a few others, they decided to take a detour outside the city. Since they were now carrying too many residents, even if the people bitten the day before had survived, there was still a chance of accidents. Gathering supplies would be a matter of waiting until they settled into the military base.
As they made a detour, they happened to run into a team of more than 20 people!
These twenty-odd people had no car, their clothes were dirty and torn, they looked tired, their lips were chapped, and they looked very haggard.
As soon as they saw the convoy, they raised their weapons with extreme vigilance. Then, when they saw the words "Fishing Base" on the body of the car, they relaxed a little, but only a little.
Then they rushed to the road and stopped Tao Rui's car.
"You...you are from the fishery base?"
“Save us!”
