"Base Commander, what happened?"
A mission team returned with some food, but not much, just enough for the base to eat for a few days.
This was their best effort, and many members of the team were injured in the process.
Before Elder Lu could answer, several more groups of people returned one after another.
Okay, with Zhang Qingqing, how can we forget Cui Miaona and Gu Ying?
Looking at the familiar faces, Xie Lin and Shi Shi exchanged a glance and smiled.
The special forces team is all here in this time and space, what a coincidence!
"Little sister?" Ming Hailiang was incredibly excited. He jumped up and down and hugged a dirty girl.
Xie Lin was puzzled.
Since his sister is at the base, how come Ming Hailiang has never seen her?
Mingzhu recognized him too. "Brother, I've finally seen you! I almost died. If it weren't for Aimin saving me in Lincheng, I would have..."
"Okay, okay, it's all in the past. We're reunited now, and we'll never be apart again."
Oh, we're not in the same city. But: "Ming Hailiang, you still have to take us to Beijing."
Ming Hailiang, of course, hadn't forgotten. "Xie Lin, I'll take you there. Can you give my sister a ride too?"
"Yes, that's fine."
Upon hearing that they were leaving, Mingzhu grabbed He Aimin's hand, "Brother, I want to stay here, I want to stay with Aimin..."
The shyness on their faces was a clear indication of their relationship.
Ming Hailiang was devastated; his sister had just been found and then taken advantage of by a pig.
He was grateful and couldn't bring himself to break up the couple, but he had promised Xie Lin and didn't want to be separated from his sister. Now he was in a dilemma.
"Xie Lin, after I take you to the capital, can you send me back?"
"No, because there isn't enough time," Xie Lin stated bluntly.
Who knows what might happen on the way? He needs to get home quickly and doesn't have much time to waste.
Considering Guagua's abilities, he didn't force him and asked Ming Hailiang to write down the detailed address. With Guagua, the know-it-all, there was no fear of not being able to find it.
Old Lu spoke up: "Children, I've decided to leave this base. Now that you've all returned, it's up to you to decide."
"Why?" the returning team of superpowered individuals asked in unison.
Mr. Lu asked Xie Lin to play the recording once.
Through Ming Hailiang's narration, everything was restored.
"Thank goodness Xie Lin came, otherwise you would have found your comrades being cooked in the pot when you returned. Sister, come with me and leave. The people here have no heart."
"No, base commander! We were wrong, we won't do it again, please don't abandon us!"
Those kneeling kowtowed and begged for mercy, wondering if the new base commander would be as lenient with them as Base Commander Lu.
They had heard that the ordinary people at other bases were at the very bottom level; if they weren't capable of going out on missions, they had to work at the base, and if they didn't work, they wouldn't have food to eat. They weren't as comfortable as they were.
They regretted it, they really regretted it.
But is belated regret genuine? Not necessarily.
If there is a food shortage again someday, who can guarantee that this scene will not happen again?
Gu Ying was furious, her eyes red with anger. "Mr. Xie, thank you for saving my sister. How is Qingqing now?"
Cui Miaona clenched her fists, her teeth grinding together, both angry and nervous, afraid of hearing bad news.
"Yes, everything is fine now. Rest in my space. I'll release them when they wake up. This situation isn't appropriate right now."
It was unrealistic to disband a base with tens of thousands of people in one go, and the higher-ups would not disregard the lives of these survivors. They would naturally send someone to take over. Old Lu immediately asked the higher-ups for instructions through special channels.
He declined the position of base commander, saying that anyone who wanted the position could take it.
Despite all their efforts to persuade him, the higher-ups couldn't keep him, so they had to find another way.
It's no wonder they almost became food; who would want to be that fool?
Half an hour later, the people who had been recuperating in the space came out. Their injuries had healed, but the shadows could never be erased. The Lu family members all chose to leave and return to their hometown.
All the injured and the eight kind-hearted people in front of them decided to follow Old Master Lu.
The returning teams discussed it amongst themselves and resolutely decided to follow suit.
Xie Lin was dumbfounded.
He initially thought he would take people he knew with him, but how did the group get so big?
Left with no other choice, he asked Mr. Lu to contact Mr. Xiao in Beijing.
Mr. Xiao and Mr. Lu are old friends, so of course they hope their old friend will return. As for the reason, it's not too late to ask when they get together.
"Old Lu, I was just about to contact you. The antidote for zombies has been made. As long as you drink the medicine, zombies can turn back into humans."
"Professor Zhou has also tried it on mutated plants and animals, and the effect is the same as when used on zombies. The Beijing base has now become open, with free entry and exit."
"I believe that Beijing will soon be able to free up the base from living in the city."
"As long as there is enough antidote, the country will soon be able to return to peace."
Old Master Lu was shocked by this huge surprise.
How come he's never heard of this news before?
It wasn't that he hadn't heard of it; it was that the higher-ups had blocked it, and it would only be available to other cities once Beijing had fulfilled its expectations.
Another point is that we don't have enough medicinal herbs right now, and it will take time to gather them. We're worried that the heads of the bases in other cities might cause trouble, which could backfire.
In a country that has lost its order, who can guarantee that the head of each base is of one mind with the country?
"Old Lu, you must keep this a secret to avoid any mishaps."
How could Old Master Lu not understand these intricacies?
Having witnessed the cruelest hearts, he only trusts his own words.
"Okay, I understand. Lao Xiao, prepare a few houses for me, and I'll bring some trustworthy people with me."
"Okay, I'll wait for you."
