Chapter 290: Departure, marching towards Hongtaishan again

Following Ye Xin's scream, Meng Jinghan's steady and powerful voice came: "Sit still!"

With a step on the accelerator, the car shot into the distance like an arrow.

When the car landed safely, Ye Xin's face turned pale: "Just now, what was that thing?"

Meng Jinghan said in a deep voice: "It should be a high-level zombie, a high-level zombie that can command other zombies!"

Because the car was shaking so violently, Ye Xin only saw a tall figure swooping towards the car, and then being thrown away by the car. Before it could stand firmly on its feet, it turned in another direction and swooped towards the car again!

At the same time, a dozen zombies in front of the car were running towards the car, as if they wanted to block the car's forward direction and provide convenience for the zombie behind it.

Although Meng Jinghan had just learned to drive, he had not lost his observation ability.

Seeing that the zombies behind were about to catch up, he had to steer the wheel again, knocking two zombies away before escaping successfully.

Looking at the unwilling zombies behind him, Ye Xin immediately used the power of space to contact his father: "Dad, we encountered a high-level zombie on the road, and it seems to be able to command other low-level zombies."

Father Ye's voice came: "Are you okay?"

"We're fine. I've reinforced the base's defenses again. I'll have to pay attention to the base's safety before I come back and try not to go out as much as possible."

Ye's father expressed his concern and cut off contact.

Ye Xin was no longer sleepy, but stared with wide eyes to help Meng Jinghan watch the road.

"The Hope Base is not far ahead," Meng Jinghan said solemnly, "and a little further west is our base. It depends on which base the zombies choose."

“I hope we’ll be lucky enough.”

It was with this in mind that Ye Xin reinforced the base's defense system again.

With the defense system, they can hold out for a few days even if zombies besiege the city.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the A701 base.

What comes into view is a large open space. The original shantytown has been transformed into a training ground with countless thick tree stumps standing inside.

It looks like the wood was brought from the mountains of Hong Kong and Taiwan and planted on the ground to simulate the environment of the jungle. To make it more realistic, the ground under the trees was sprinkled with water, and the soldiers would sink to their ankles when they stepped on it.

The soil is also mixed with grass roots, leaves, etc.

When Ye Xin arrived, the soldiers were still in training. Everyone was covered in mud, and it was impossible to tell what their clothes originally looked like.

They held explosives wrapped in plastic sheets, jumping, running, and dodging the machines that appeared from time to time.

They bent over the mud to dig holes and bury explosives, doing everything meticulously. No one stepped back, and no one complained.

Ye Xin and Meng Jinghan looked at each other, and admiration rose in their eyes.

Liu Mingfei was still directing the training on the spot. Ye Xin was greeted by Fang Xin and the old man.

Seeing Ye Xin staring at the training ground intently, Fang Xin explained sheepishly: "It was the old man who first proposed this idea. Only by letting them get familiar with the environment we will face, their chances of survival will be greatly improved."

He looked at Ye Xin with sincerity in his eyes: "This is why we asked you to come here now. We hope that the people you bring can train with us to minimize casualties."

Ye Xin nodded: "It is necessary!"

The old man smiled and said, "It's almost lunch time. How about we go eat first, take a rest, and then talk about training in the afternoon?"

Fang Xin stretched out a hand, motioning Ye Xin to follow them to the cafeteria.

This time, Ye Xin's treatment standard was significantly improved, from the original cabbage stewed with vermicelli to one meat and one vegetable.

The dish is stewed chicken with potatoes. Although there are only three pieces of chicken, it is still a dish after all.

Looking at the chicken in Ye Xinbala's bowl, the old man smiled and said, "Try it! These are chickens bred at our base. We put a lot of effort into raising these chickens. We just raised a batch of them."

"Hehe, it's completely natural! It's incomparable to before the apocalypse."

Ye Xin smiled and took a bite of the chicken. As expected, the chicken was springy and tender, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth. It must be a free-range chicken that was allowed to forage for food freely.

The soldiers who had just returned from training looked at the chicken stewed with potatoes and couldn't help but shouting, "Finally, we have meat to eat!"

"To be honest, I've been eyeing those chickens for a long time. I've thought about roasting them, stewing them, and grilling them. I dream about them every day."

Everyone laughed.

The old man lowered his head and bit a potato: "From today on, the soldiers must be guaranteed to have meat every day. If they can't keep up with the physical strength, everything will be in vain."

"Miss Ye, I know your Mid-mountain Base is wealthy. Do you think this kind of meal is okay? If you don't mind, please invite your warriors to dine with us. If you don't think it's good, hehe..."

Ye Xin understood what the old man meant before he finished speaking.

Now this is the best food that the A701 base can provide. If her soldiers feel that the standard has been lowered, Ye Xin will have to supplement the rest herself.

In the next period of time, they will be comrades in life and death, and Ye Xin cannot be stingy. She agreed on the spot: this meal of pickled mustard greens will be kept for dinner, and she will provide the ingredients for the lunch meal, and all the soldiers will eat together.

The news spread throughout the cafeteria and immediately caused another round of cheers.

Everyone knows that the Mid-Levels Base is wealthy. Since Lord Ye has promised to provide the pickled mustard greens for lunch, how can they not be excited?

Unexpectedly, the food on the second day still shocked them.

Big bones!

Hot big bones!

Each person actually had three big pieces! They were full of meat, and even the marrow inside the bone tube was trembling and steaming.

The soldiers at the mid-mountain base didn't seem to find it strange. They used chopsticks to tear off the meat and eat the bone marrow bit by bit.

The soldiers at the A701 base were so happy that they grabbed the coke and stuffed it into their mouths, eating until their mouths were full of oil. They even licked the oil on their fingers, still wanting more.

They ate the same diet for the next few days, and the amount of meat they ate gradually increased day by day. It was not until the 15th day that they slowed down their meat eating, obviously with enough oil in their stomachs.

During this period, Ye Xin trained with the soldiers. Fang Xin, Liu Mingfei, and even the elderly also participated in the training.

Seeing the old man with white hair but still doing well in training, Ye Xin couldn't help but admire him again.

What are the pillars of a country? People like this are them!

Even though he is already gray-haired, he will still offer his last bit of light and warmth!

Before setting off, Fang Xin stood in front of the team again, and standing beside him were Liu Mingfei, Ye Xin and the old man.

The soldiers stood together fully armed, handed over their suicide notes, put them into a large iron box prepared in advance, sealed it and kept it at the A701 base.

You can get it back when they come back.

Even Ye Xin and Meng Jinghan left a suicide note in it.

Everyone knew the danger of this trip. No one spoke while doing all this. The thousands of people in the whole place were silent. They all moved silently, returned to the team, and carried their bags...
