Chapter 4747
As soon as the convoy entered the rest area of the base, someone immediately asked the receptionist impatiently: "I heard that your northern base has a zombie virus vaccine. Is that true?"
When the receptionist heard this question, his expression became helpless.
In the past two months, people have been coming to the north one after another after hearing about the vaccine.
There were convoys of a dozen people and convoys of hundreds of people. Almost all of them had stopped here for repairs. He had explained this countless times.
"If there really was a zombie vaccine, we wouldn't have to stay in the base anymore."
Many people in the convoy came here just for the zombie virus vaccine, and now they were anxious when they heard this:
"But a northern convoy came to our base before, and they said..."
"Don't worry, I know what you mean. There are rumors about the virus vaccine, but it hasn't been developed yet, so we haven't used it yet."
"The one that developed the vaccine you heard about should be our largest base in the north, Beizheng Base."
"There are still about 10 million people surviving there, and all the talented people are there. If there is a vaccine, it must be them who developed it first."
"But we haven't heard any news about the successful development of a vaccine from the base yet, so you guys should stay calm."
He said so, but who among those who came here from thousands of miles away could be calm?
Ordinary people have no connections and can only ask a few questions. Those who are truly powerful and have abundant resources have already found channels to obtain more information.
There was a wealthy man named Sheng in the team. He used to do business in the north and was lucky enough to use his old connections in this base.
As soon as the gift was given, the other party revealed some exclusive inside information to him.
There is indeed a vaccine, but the public is still unclear about it.
That type of vaccination has certain requirements for the body. If you are infected with the zombie virus after the injection, there is only a one in seven chance that no mutation will occur.
The effect is not very good, and it is difficult to make and preserve, so the quantity is very small.
"Ordinary people should forget about it. It is currently in internal circulation and is still in the trial stage."
Sheng Fuhao was unwilling to give up and asked, "Is there no other way to get the vaccine in advance?"
The acquaintance hesitated for a moment and said, "I have a relative who is doing research in a secret base next to the Beizheng base. He said there is a new vaccine that is more effective. However, no matter how much money you have, you can't get it. There is only one way to get it."
"If you join their special team and perform some high-risk work, you can get the vaccine for free."
Mr. Sheng originally still had some hope, but after hearing the last sentence, he immediately shook his head and gave up.
The most dangerous mission for the base is to go into a zombie-infested city to find something.
That kind of mission is a life-threatening one, so what’s the point of getting vaccinated?
He only has a pair of grandchildren left by his side. How could he let them take risks? Moreover, they don't have the ability to do so.
It's easy to imagine that the entry requirements for such a special team must be very high.
There is nothing we can do.
Sheng Fuhao returned to the convoy and told his grandchildren that they would rest here for two days before going to Beizheng Base.
"We still have to go forward. How long do we have to go, Grandpa?"
The granddaughter was the one who had delivered something to Wen Jiuze before.
She was worried all the way. Ever since she saw zombies attacking and killing people, she would have nightmares and couldn't sleep well after hearing the sounds of zombies.
"It's almost there. If everything goes well, we'll be there in another half a month." The grandfather patted his granddaughter's hand to comfort her.
The grandson was more concerned about vaccines and asked about related news.
Sheng Fuhao waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to say more: "Let's talk about it after we get to Beizheng Base. It is estimated that the vaccine cannot be obtained at this stage."
The leader of the convoy representing the New Fourth Base also found the top management of the base at this time.
The other party revealed a piece of news to him.
"The Beizheng Base has been recruiting capable people to join the special operations team. People with good physical fitness, strong abilities, and special skills."
"If you have the ability, you can give it a try. This team is going to do some dangerous missions, but as long as you join their special operations team, the Beizheng base can provide everything, including the latest vaccines."
"Team members can bring their loved ones to live in the safest place on the base, and they can also receive free medical treatment."
"You know, it's very difficult to get a place at the Beizheng Base. If you go there now, without sufficient contribution points, you can only get a temporary residence permit for half a month."
Many people in the team were interested, including the captain.
His wife has liver problems and she often needed to go to the hospital before the apocalypse. After the apocalypse, this condition no longer exists and her condition has become increasingly serious.
He was the leader of the scavenging team at the New Fourth Base, and he was considered a capable person, but the points he earned were not enough to buy enough medicine. If he could join the special operations team at the Beizheng Base...
Seeing his hesitation, the senior executive of the base said, "If you are willing, you can sign up now. You came at the right time. There happens to be an assessment soon. In two days, our base will organize everyone to go to Beizheng Base to take the assessment."
"We already have more than 500 people who have signed up at our base."
The captain was surprised: "So many people?"
A senior executive at the base said: "This is not a lot. In addition to our base, there are people from several other bases who have signed up. There are tens of thousands of people who have signed up, and only a little over a hundred have been selected."
The captain immediately felt hopeless. He knew that he had some ability, but it was not top-notch.
It seems that this team will only select top talents.
While feeling disappointed, the captain couldn't help but think of Wen Jiuze.
He was deeply impressed by Wen Jiuze. During the more than two months on the journey, Wen Jiuze took the initiative to help several times when the situation was critical. Every time, the captain would admire his skills and courage.
If it was Wen Jiuze, he might be able to successfully pass the assessment and join that team.
The captain hesitated for a moment, wondering whether to inform Wen Jiuzhe of the news.
The opponent has not entered the base and is still outside.
"Don't worry, go back and think about it carefully." The senior executive of the base said with a smile.
There are disputes between bases, and if the people they recommend can be selected into the team, it will be of great benefit to their base.
The top management of the base arranged several members of the team in a safe area close to the base gate.
"You will stay here temporarily for the next few days. The people living here are all from the south and southeast, just like you."
"There are also a dozen people who have decided to take the test, and they are the ones."
The team leader led several of his team members and passed by a small house. Following the direction pointed by the guide, they saw several men sitting or standing in the yard.
They all had shaved heads, a bandit-like air, and dark blue lion head tattoos on their arms.
Noticing their gaze, the men looked over and sized them up with unfriendly expressions.
A big man glared at them fiercely and looked very unhappy.
The team leader and his companions walked past quickly without paying much attention to these strangers.
While a team of hundreds of people were trying their best to get information in the base, a few kilometers away from the base, Wen Jiu was stewing a goose in an iron pot.
The big goose was driven here by Xue Ling an hour ago.
To be more precise, the big goose was chasing Xue Ling.
After saying that he would watch over Wen Jiuze and sleep peacefully, Xue Ling went for a walk around the area to check for potential dangers.
Since she volunteered to take on the task of patrolling the territory, Wen Jiuze didn't hesitate to take it easy and just lay in the car waiting for her to come back.
Not long after lying there, Xue Ling escaped back.
Excitement could be seen faintly on her blue face, and the big goose following behind her was even more excited. It swayed its body, spread its wings and screamed, and occasionally stretched its neck to nip Xue Ling in front of it.
Fortunately, Xue Ling's skin was tough now, so the bite didn't leave any marks.
Wen Jiuze saw them chasing each other and getting closer, so he got out of the car and subdued the arrogant goose.
He held the goose's neck and mouth tightly and said with a smile: "You ran quite fast when the goose chased you just now. Are you usually not energetic enough to chase me?"
Xue Ling: “?” Who did I attract the goose for? How dare you laugh at me?
She immediately knocked down Wen Jiuze's hand that was controlling the big goose, and the big goose took the opportunity to nip Wen Jiuze hard.
Xue Ling: “Haha.”
Haha, you deserve it.
"Hiss." Wen Jiuze hissed in pain and grabbed the goose again.
"You're still helping it pick me up. Who are you on the same side with?"
Xue Ling was too lazy to argue with him, so she pulled an iron pot from the car.
The pot was brought back by Xue Ling when she was on the road because of her collecting addiction. At that time, Wen Jiuze even asked her why she carried such a big black pot back with her.
He threw the pot in front of Wen Jiuze and urged: Hurry up, kill the goose and stew it in the iron pot!
The goose is stewed like this.
The fragrance was wafting out, and Wen Jiuze sat beside it with his legs crossed, the wind blowing through his hair that had grown to his neck.
Xue Ling couldn't sit still, so she wandered around. After a while, she brought back a handful of green grass and threw it into the iron pot.
Wen Jiuze folded his arms and watched, but did not try to stop him. He just casually asked, "What is it?"
"Wild vegetables!" Xue Ling wrote.
Wen Jiuze wanted to be naughty when he saw her happy and busy appearance, so he deliberately asked in a mysterious tone: "I don't look like that, are you sure?"
I'm not sure anymore when he asks me that.
I have seen pictures of it before when surfing the Internet, so I think I am not mistaken.
Looking at the green color swirling in the pot, Xue Ling lost confidence.
"Do you know any wild vegetables?" she asked.
"I don't know him." Wen Jiu said frankly.
You don't know him, so why are you asking if it looks like him? Xue Ling threw the spoon into the pot and told him to just shut up and eat.
He then got up, picked some wild vegetables and threw them into the pot.
Before the goose could be eaten, Wen Jiuze had already eaten half a stomach of wild vegetables.
As the sky gradually darkened, the goose was finally cooked. Wen Jiuze sat beside the pot and ate the meat with chopsticks.
Xue Ling sat beside him and joined in the fun, instructing him which piece to eat and which piece tasted good, and felt a sense of participation.
The evening sky presents brilliant golden, orange and red colors, as if it is about to burn the sky.
Burn the sky and usher in the night.
Wen Jiuze said to let Xue Ling keep watch, but when night came, he did not let her stay alone, but sat beside her for a long time.
Xue Ling urged him to go to bed, but he said, "I ate too much and felt too full. I can't sleep."
“Digest the food” until midnight before going to bed.
The next day was a sunny day. A car came out of the base and gradually approached their car.
He is the captain of the fleet and has dealt with Wen Jiuze several times. The two are not familiar with each other, but he came specifically to tell Wen Jiuze the news that Beizheng Base is recruiting for a special operations team.
He explained the difficulty of the test and the benefits of passing it, and finally said, "If you are ready to go, go to the base and sign up."
After thinking all night, the captain decided to go out and deliver a message to Wen Jiuze.
First of all, Wen Jiuze also came here to treat his lover's illness, so the two of them could be said to be suffering from the same disease.
Secondly, they both came from the same place and registered together, so maybe they could take care of each other.
Who would have thought that after hearing the nine pieces, he directly refused.
The captain didn't understand: "You don't want to get the vaccine, and you don't want to treat your loved one's illness?"
Wen Jiuze: "Thank you for coming to tell me, but I have my own plans."
After seeing the captain off, Wen Jiuze asked Xue Ling, "They are going to Beizheng Base in two days. How is it going? Do they have any instructions?"
"Do you want to go with them to see the area around Beizheng Base, or should we just separate here and find a place to stay on our own?"
Of course Xue Ling still wanted to go to the Beizheng Base to take a look. As long as she didn't enter the base, she would be fine.
The captain returned to the base and saw several members of the team talking to the grandchildren of the Sheng family.
"Captain, what do you think? Does Wen Jiuze want to sign up with you?" a team member asked.
The captain shook his head: "He didn't sign up."
The Sheng siblings also learned from their grandfather that the special team was recruiting, and heard that the captain went out of the city to invite Wen Jiuze, so they came here specifically to inquire about the news. They were a little surprised to hear that he had refused.
After leaving the small courtyard where the captain and his men lived, my sister was still wondering, "Wen Jiuze is so amazing, why doesn't he join? Doesn't he want to get the qualification to live in Beizheng Base?"
My brother said, "What bases have you seen him enter along the way? Last time, he chased us away before we even got close to him. I guess there's something wrong with his girlfriend and she can't be seen by others, so he took her away to avoid people."
"Wen Jiuze must have been delayed by his girlfriend. Otherwise, if he were alone..." As my sister spoke, she noticed several eyes were looking at her and her voice softened involuntarily.
When she saw the lion heads tattooed on the arms of those men, she moved closer to her brother with a little fear.
These men who escaped from the Yishi base came here more than half a month ago.
Their skills are better than those of ordinary people, especially the leader, the fourth brother, who was spotted by the base leader in charge of recruiting and is preparing to take part in this assessment.
There are a lot of rules in this base. When we first arrived, we were all very restrained. We couldn't do this or that, and we were almost bored to death.
Seeing a young and beautiful girl walking outside the yard, two or three men couldn't control their eyes and followed her with strange looks in their eyes.
Only a man who looked steady and honest frowned because of the name they mentioned.
"Wen Jiu?"
He stood up and walked over to ask the Sheng brothers and sisters: "Did you just talk about Wen Jiu?"
My sister whispered a little fearfully, “No.”
My brother didn't dare to provoke them and simply explained: "No, we are talking about Wen Jiuze, a person in our team."
"I just heard you say he is very powerful? Where is he? Call him out so we can take a look." The honest-looking man had a pair of shrewd eyes that flashed with suspicion.
The young man who was just looking at the woman shouted, "Yeah, what a powerful person, call him out and let us see if he can be more powerful than our fourth brother."
The honest man turned around and gave him a warning look, then said to the Sheng brothers and sisters:
"I heard his name and thought he looked a bit like an old acquaintance of ours, so I asked."
"The one we know is called Wen Jiu. He is very skilled, can use a gun and is good at using a short knife. He is tall and good-looking."
Upon hearing this, the elder brother of the Sheng family said, "That's quite a coincidence. Wen Jiuze also uses a short knife. He might be someone you know."
The man who asked the question turned around and looked at the fourth brother who was sitting on the stool smoking, then put his hand on the elder brother of the Sheng family's shoulder and said, "Come on, tell us more in detail..."
The Sheng brothers and sisters told what they knew and ran away.
Although they didn't know much, the descriptions were exactly the same as the Wen Jiu they knew.
The fourth brother pressed the cigarette butt in his hand on the armrest of the chair with a gloomy look.
"It's him."
"I've been looking for him for so long, but I didn't expect to run into him here."
After the incident at Yishi Base, Lao Si lost his three sworn brothers one after another. He blamed all of this on Wen Jiu and searched for him in several nearby bases, but unfortunately there was no news.
He failed in his attempt to seize power and no longer cared about causing trouble for others. Like a bereaved dog, he left the Yishi base and fled to the north with the few remaining brothers who followed him.
Despite this, he never forgot his enemies.
He vowed to make a comeback in the northern base and one day take revenge on all his enemies.
Now that one of his enemies is right before his eyes, the fourth brother is unwilling to wait any longer.
"Let's go and see if it's someone we know."
The fourth brother got up, took a few brothers, and drove away from the base in their own car.
Wen Jiuze drove a little further away from the base today.
In the wild where zombies may appear at any time, it is best not to stay in one place for more than two days.
So they left their original place, followed the road that led to Beizheng Base, and stopped at a wide open flat ground.
When the fourth brother and his friends' car came over, Wen Jiuze was packing things by the car.
He initially thought it was someone in the convoy.
But the car rushed straight towards them, with no intention of stopping, and it was driving faster and faster. Someone leaned out of the window.
Wen Jiuze had better eyesight than most people. When he saw this scene, he suddenly dropped what he was holding.
Xue Ling came over with a clean pot, but he grabbed her with one hand and threw her and the pot into the car.
Wen Jiuze got in the car, started it, and drove quickly towards the road ahead.
The car hastily ran over an obstacle and jolted violently. Xue Ling, who was lying in the passenger seat and still holding the pot, was suddenly thrown up.
Wen Jiuze held the steering wheel with one hand, watching the car catching up in the rearview mirror, and with the other hand he grabbed Xue Ling to prevent her from hitting the windshield.
The pot fell at his feet. Xue Ling sat up straight, holding onto the armrest and Wen Jiuze's arm, and made a sound that expressed doubt.
Wen Jiuze said, "An enemy is here to seek revenge."
Xue Ling: “…”
Enemies suddenly appeared in the wilderness to seek revenge? You have a lot of enemies?
