"It's alright! This is my younger brother, Bai Yifan. I think you're about the same age, so you should be able to get along."
Bai Xizhu said with a smile.
Hongyu blinked, watching Bai Yifan stuff more dried fruit into her arms, and slightly turned her body to the side.
I still won't accept it.
"This is for you!"
Without waiting for a reply, Bai Yifan placed the candied fruit in Hongyu's arms, then quickly and discreetly moved a meter away from her, a polite smile on his face.
I was afraid, but not completely afraid.
"This... will not do."
Hongyu's face turned completely red, and she hurriedly tried to stuff the candied fruit into Bai Yifan's arms.
Bai Yifan was prepared; when Bai Yifan came, Bai Yifan retreated.
"No need to be so polite, we're all friends," Bai Yifan declined.
Hongyu tried to return the candied fruit to Bai Yifan, but she couldn't put it back. She could only hold it in her hand and whisper, "Thank you."
"It's getting late, you can continue with your work, we'll head back now."
Bai Xizhu looked at him for a long time but couldn't find anything special about the boy in front of her. Not to mention being a brutal butcher, Bai Xizhu didn't even sense any powerful energy fluctuations from the boy.
Could it be that I've mistaken someone for someone else?
"Okay, goodbye, big brother, big sister, and Bai Yifan."
Hongyu waved shyly at the three of them with a gentle smile on his face. Because he was too introverted, his hand gesture was very small.
After Bai Xizhu and the others left, Hongyu looked at the box of dried fruit in her hand.
Suddenly, he leaned closer and took a sniff, and then the smile on his face became even more shy and bashful.
"So this was given to me by my sister, and she asked Bai Yifan to give it to me!"
Hong Yu could tell from the smell that the person in charge was Bai Xizhu.
His sense of smell was many times better than that of an ordinary person; he could easily smell the scent on everyone and what others had been in contact with.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them human-shaped police dogs.
At night, the safe base was quiet, and Hongyu stood guard with a box of dried fruit in her arms.
Every now and then, he would take out a piece of dried fruit and put it in his mouth.
The blush on his face never faded, and there were red bumps on both sides of his cheeks.
He is allergic to peaches.
But I never thought of wasting it.
Grandpa once said that we should not waste food, nor should we trample on other people's kindness.
Hongyu stared at the dark area outside the safe base, his eyes filled with determination.
His task was to guard the gate, ensuring that no zombie or mutated animal could enter the safe base.
Hongyu didn't leave her post until the person taking over came.
He carried a box of dried fruit back to his house, and the first thing he did was to do two more practice tests...
The next day, early morning.
The sun scorched the earth as it always had.
Many survivors went out to search for supplies without having breakfast.
Some survivors ate breakfast, but it was just a biscuit, some wild vegetables, or a small bag of snacks.
Fortunately, there's no need to worry about crystal cores for a long time. Compared to other security bases, the overall living standard at Yunhua Security Base is quite good.
The Bai family's breakfast was the same as usual: ordinary millet porridge, pickled vegetables, light stir-fried dishes, and steamed buns.
The base commander came over early in the morning to freeload, and shamelessly sat between Bai Xizhu and Leng Yebai, pretending not to see Leng Yebai's dark face.
Let him be surrounded by a happy family!
The family sat together, with a handheld radio placed next to the food.
Bai Zhengxuan tuned the radio to a frequency that was related to the Human Survivors Alliance established by Song Gong.
"Sizzle sizzle..."
"Fellow survivors, I have an urgent message to share: the Mingcheng Security Base in Shanghai was attacked by a horde of zombies yesterday afternoon and was completely wiped out."
"...Strong survivors, please be vigilant against the sudden increase in zombies around you, beware of high-level zombies, and take preventative measures as soon as possible against any zombie hordes that may control a large number of zombies."
Upon hearing the content on the radio, the Bai family members stopped eating in surprise.
"Brother Leng, where is the Mingcheng Security Base?"
Bai Anhai shoveled a large mouthful of millet porridge, but still felt uneasy.
The safe base was destroyed by a horde of zombies just like that?
How many human survivors are there?
Who are the zombies attacking the security base?
"The Mingcheng Security Base is some distance from here. Their security base is full of lazy and irresponsible people. Their overall strength is not great, but they still have several thousand people in total."
The base commander shook his head slightly.
The Mingcheng Security Base is lucky to have survived until now, having not suffered many zombie attacks.
That safe base held women in low esteem, so it didn't attract many female superhumans to live there.
Many of those who went to the Mingcheng Security Base were lecherous men.
In short, the Mingcheng Security Base has many internal problems, and it's already quite remarkable that it has managed to hold on until now.
In the future, small safe bases will become increasingly dangerous as the zombies evolve. Only by improving the defenses within the safe bases can they become more secure.
"Thousands of people, all dead?"
Bai Yifan shook his hand, and the fried egg in his chopsticks fell back into the plate.
I am so surprised.
Controlling high-level zombies in a horde is just too awesome!
They eat so much flesh and blood at once, aren't they afraid of dying from overeating?
No one expected that this might be the work of Zhang Yiming.
