Chapter 66 Xiangtan Base

They had no plans to stay in the Xiangtan base for long. According to the plan, Wen Yuan now had no superpowers, and Shen Qianxun was an ordinary second-level space superpower user. One of them had a long sword, the other had a Tang sword, and Marshmallow stayed in a constant temperature cloth bag, carried on Wen Yuan's back.

He put the Hummer back into the space and looked at the base in front of him where people were coming and going.

The main body of the base is located in the suburbs of H City, close to several surrounding settlements. The city walls built by gold and earth-type ability users enclose the suburbs, settlements, and new development areas.

Most of the buildings in the base were built before the apocalypse, including newly built high-rise buildings and suburban villas. This saved a lot of infrastructure work and was perfect for settling survivors. It was not far from the city, making it convenient for survivors to go out and collect supplies.

They are currently at the main gate of the base. There are two small gates 300 meters on both sides of the gate. Looking up, they can see the big red words "Xiangtan Base".

Unlike the Spark Base, which was jointly established and managed by the government and chaebols, the Xiangtan Base was established and managed by the local military and political authorities. It is also a large official base marked on the base map.

The 50-meter-high city wall stretches for a thousand meters, and there are 100,000 survivors inside. It is the base with the largest number of survivors in H Province, with more than 10,000 people with special abilities. The base address was announced not long ago, and now many survivors come to the base every day.

Above the city wall, there is a towering artillery position every 10 meters. In addition, there is a separate observation tower with soldiers stationed there 24 hours a day. The government has made preparations in advance to deal with future zombie waves.

The trees and buildings within a few kilometers around the base have almost disappeared. In addition to being used for base construction, the felled trees are also used as a buffer zone to facilitate observation from the lookout tower. Other buildings that block observation will also be razed to the ground.

In addition, armed soldiers patrol the base 24 hours a day to ensure the safety of survivors entering and leaving. Facing the zombies at this stage, the power of bullets should not be underestimated.

In a corner under the city wall, there are several wooden houses with "Inspection Waiting Room" written on them in red spray paint. Everyone entering the base needs to stay inside for 30 minutes to confirm that they are not infected with the zombie virus.

If you have wounds on your body, go to the special "Injury Monitoring Room" on the side. There are several armed guards standing at the door. Once an infected person is found, he must be killed immediately.

Under the scorching sun, almost everyone's face was filled with fatigue, and some were even numb. Once any abnormal noise was heard, they would panic.

Faced with the sudden end of the world, most people failed to adapt, and faced the future with more fear and confusion.

"Come on Chihiro, let's go there."

Shen Qianxun followed Wen Yuan to the examination waiting room. Soon, the waiting room was filled with more than 100 people. It was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day, and the smell in the air was particularly unpleasant.

After entering the end of the world, coupled with the high temperature weather, water resources are in urgent need. The daily water provided by water-type and ice-type mutants is very limited, so wells are dug inside and outside the base.

In order to store water and maintain daily drinking water for all survivors, each person can now only extract 1 liter of water per day, and children under 5 years old can get half of that. Don’t even think about having water to take a bath every day. It’s good enough to have some water to wash the body.

Shen Qianxun wore a homemade constant temperature mask and a constant temperature hat, wrapping his whole body tightly. Marshmallow was hugged by Wen Yuan and slept soundly in the cloth bag. The arrival of the two did not attract much attention from others.

"Time's up, you can go out, the next group of people come in." The supervisor shouted, and more than 100 people left in an orderly manner.

Shen Qianxun and Wen Yuan walked at the end, and after passing through a 10-meter-high iron gate, they officially stepped into the base.

What you see is a spacious two-way asphalt road with a tall sign saying "Special lane for motor vehicles". There is also a security booth next to it and guards stationed at the door.

Looking left and right, there are two gravel roads with people walking on them.

Wen Yuan explained, "That's where the ordinary survivors are, and it's also the entrance and exit for most non-superpowered people. They'll pick up their missions in the mission hall, and then arrive at the city gate at the appointed time to go on missions with the superpowered team to earn points."

"Most of their tasks are to collect supplies, including collecting zombie corpses to use as fuel for the base."

"By the way, tests have shown that zombie corpses, when dried to a certain degree, are no longer contagious, and the gases they burn are also non-toxic."

Shen Qianxun nodded, this can be regarded as "waste recycling".

Wen Yuan had already told her last night that they needed to rely on points to survive in the base. Ordinary people needed to complete tasks to earn points in order to maintain their daily needs in the base, of which food and accommodation accounted for the majority.

The base does not keep idle people. Those who are lazy and greedy will be kicked out. Many good people have become much more honest after being kicked out once.

Those who refused to change their ways despite repeated warnings, or those who wanted to take advantage of the last days to bully others, were sent to work in coal mining, where they would only have one vegetable dumpling in the morning and evening, nothing more.

The base commander Song Ping was born into a military family. After the end of the world, he awakened his fire ability. He is swift and decisive in his actions, and always considers the overall situation to ensure the survival of more people.

Even when facing those with special abilities who are looking for trouble, he has a way to deal with it, which is to let them join the guard team formed by soldiers, let them experience the real hardships, and be on the line between life and death every day, which will only allow more people to survive and protect their human living place.

In the end, the proud psychics lowered their heads, and some even chose to stay in the guard team forever. The base commander Song Ping personally put on the red medals belonging to the guard team for them.

"By the way, what is Deputy Base Commander Luo like?"

Wen Yuan thought about it, and gradually became embarrassed. "Well, Luo Wenjian was a high-ranking official before the end of the world. He was more smooth and tactful than the base commander Song Ping, but he wasn't a wicked person."

Shen Qianxun nodded, and at this moment, the unique "buzzing" sound of the large truck came out, and the two stepped aside.

Five tall trucks, tightly covered, slowly passed by the two men.

Seeing Chen Qianxun's curious expression, Wen Yuan added, "This is a mine transporter that travels several times a day. It is mainly used for the production of firearms, such as bullets and explosives."

"Hmm~"

Shen Qianxun responded in a low voice, despite having superpowers, weapons are still very useful, even in the end times, various bases will not stop the research and production of weapons.

After the vehicle left, Shen Qianxun released the Hummer, and the two ran out of the shade, lowered their heads and got into the air-conditioned car, driving slowly all the way.

Shen Qianxun sat in the co-pilot seat, looking at the internal structure diagram of the base that he had just taken.

The base is divided into eight sector-shaped areas, which are managed separately. There are no high walls between the areas, but they are separated by a clear cordon.

From the outside to the inside, it is divided into shanty towns, which are also the areas where ordinary people live, followed by planting areas, followed by areas where people with special abilities and a small number of ordinary people live, and finally the central area, which is also the residence of people with special abilities who have strong attack power and their families, as well as other chaebols and executives.

In the villa area in the central area, part of it is rented by individual teams of psychics, while part of it is inhabited by chaebol families.

Even in the end times, most chaebols still stand tall, holding a large amount of resources in their hands, not only materials, but also powerful superpowers, to maintain their wealthy and safe lives after the end times.
