We were silent all the way. The guard was a very good driver. Many places on the road were covered with snow, but he passed through safely.
"Xing Xin was originally from the tank company, but the company doesn't need so many soldiers right now, so he was transferred to the guard team." The guard captain was making small talk.
Lin Qingqing didn't answer. She was worried about the woman and the child. Even if they were not her childhood and mother, they were still Dean Lin's family.
And Dean Lin left the base because of her!
It was she who gave Dean Lin the insect specimen and spared no effort to lobby for the specimen to be tested in a Level 4 laboratory.
Historical records show that Wuhan is the only publicly available Level 4 laboratory.
This base was built after the apocalypse, so it probably doesn't have a lab with those strict requirements. So when Dean Lin mentioned going to the base lab, it's likely not inside the base. Perhaps it's somewhere near the base?
Lin Qingqing guessed that some of the memories she had implanted were real, while some were just what the survivors had heard.
There are only a handful of people who have lived through the apocalypse for fifty years. According to their records, at the beginning of the apocalypse, there was a ship docked in the waters near the capital base, with a secret military laboratory on board.
Lin Qingqing closed her eyes slightly, wanting to contact Cai Donghu and ask him to look for large warships in the nearby waters, but she found that she could not contact Cai Donghu!
"It's over there. It's not convenient for our car to go through. Should we stop here?" The guard named Xing Xin slowed down the car and asked Lin Qingqing.
Lin Qingqing looked up and saw a towering wall stretching for dozens of miles, at least fifteen meters high. The people of our country are very mobile. The Yanjiao base was built after the end of the world, and even the width of the wall is wide enough for two tanks to drive side by side.
There were gun emplacements and watchtowers spaced about ten meters apart. Armed soldiers patrolled frequently, and the base seemed quite safe.
Lin Qingqing thought, if zombies could not advance, humans could really hide in the base and develop slowly.
But there are no ifs.
Not only do zombies advance, their numbers far exceed those of humans, from several times at the beginning to more than ten times, and the numerical gap continues to widen over time.
After all, humans can easily be infected and turn into zombies if they are not careful.
Zombies need to be at least level five to have consciousness.
After zombies above level five regained self-awareness, they lost their memories of their human lives. They didn't mind continuing to eat humans. In the late apocalypse, some zombie kings even raised humans as livestock, feeding them a little fresh flesh and blood every day.
There are many homeless people under the city walls.
They couldn't afford to rent a house, and they didn't dare to leave the city to look for supplies. They survived on a bowl of porridge they received from the government every day.
There are many simple shacks built here privately.
Initially, the base refused to allow it, but as the weather grew colder, the number of people dying of starvation and freezing continued to rise.
We can only turn a blind eye.
The vicious cycle is that more people no longer rent houses. They exchange their only points for food and run to occupy territory under the city walls.
When Lin Qingqing and the others got off the car, they saw that in just a few months, the area under the city wall seemed to have become a refugee area.
Many people who were so hungry that they were only breathing their last breath lay in the small makeshift shed, waiting to die with empty eyes.
"If they live here, what will they do when zombies attack the city?" Lin Qingqing couldn't help but ask.
It has been more than half a year since the apocalypse. Many mutated zombies are at level two or above. They can run, jump and release superpowers.
Every time the zombies attack the city, it is always crazy. On the night of the full moon, the zombies seem to be blessed with bulls, becoming more brutal and not afraid of life or death.
"Eat when it's time to eat, sleep when it's time to sleep." The captain of the guard looked at the refugees with contempt in his eyes.
Some of these people would even hope that zombies would attack the city and take advantage of the chaos to rob and steal from civilians.
"If you ask me, the government should stop providing them with this life-saving food." Guard Xing Xin also looked down on these people, especially young men and women.
As human beings, we are also afraid of death, but these trash just want to wait for death and don't want to fight.
The captain of the guard nodded in agreement. "I'd rather die among the zombies than live with such humiliation."
Lin Qingqing glanced at the two indignant people, her gaze fixed on the communicator on the guard captain's wrist: "Drive back and return the car to your colleague."
The captain of the guard covered his wrist and explained, "I didn't betray you..."
"Go ahead! You still have family. If you follow me, you will only make things difficult for yourself." Lin Qingqing didn't think that she could gain a few followers just by showing off her skills.
"How do you know I have family here?" the captain of the guard asked in surprise.
Lin Qingqing didn't explain, but just smiled and said, "Just let him follow me, he's single anyway."
As soon as the guards entered the room, Cai Donghu passed her the information.
Alas, Old Cai must be hiding something from her. She didn't even know he could leave the space.
Lin Qingqing was both happy and worried about this. She was worried about Cai Donghu's safety. After all, without a body, even a person with superpowers would have extremely fragile consciousness, except for a pervert like Shan Leng.
At the same time, I was happy that Cai Donghu could leave freely. That way, he wouldn't be trapped in this small world and could still be himself.
"I won't leak any information about you." The captain of the guard gritted his teeth, removed the communicator from his wristwatch, turned around and threw it into the car. This car belonged to the military, so no one would dare to steal it anyway.
"Then it's up to you!" Lin Qingqing walked into the crowd without wasting time on him.
"Why are you doing this?" Xing Xin couldn't help but whisper to the captain. He was alone, and following such a strong man was more exciting than being a guard. But the captain had a family, and they lived in the staff building.
"I'm afraid that if I die, my family will end up here." The captain of the guards figured it out in an instant.
When he followed them from the hospital, he felt that the woman in front of him had never tried to kill them, so he thought that as long as he didn't provoke her, there would be no danger.
He was very curious about her magical powers.
Now, he wants to take a gamble for his family and his future.
Lin Qingqing heard their conversation behind her and felt even more disappointed with the person in charge of the base.
Soldiers are the cornerstone, and mid- and low-level officers are the backbone. If a regime allows these people to be easily abandoned, it will not last long.
