In the remote northeastern borderlands, nestled in a vast expanse of land nestled among rolling snow-capped mountains, lies a base known as "Hope." This secret sanctuary, dedicated to cold-resistant crop research, holds the warm hopes of countless people. However, a sudden event has cast a shadow over this sacred land.
A week ago, a batch of precious cold-resistant grain seeds disappeared from the base's core warehouse. While the number of seeds was small, it was significant enough to impact the entire research process and even the future success of cold-resistant crops in this frigid region. Although the news was kept strictly secret, known only to a select few, it inevitably spread throughout the base, sending panic and fear into the air.
Old Zhang, the warehouse guard, was a taciturn veteran who had served at the base for over a decade and had never made a mistake. On the night of the incident, he was on patrol as usual, only to discover that the warehouse door lock was intact, while the seeds inside had vanished. He froze in place, as if all his strength had been drained, speechless for a long time.
The leadership of the base quickly held an emergency meeting and decided to set up a special task force to investigate the matter. Everyone knew that this theft was not as simple as it seemed, and there might be a more complicated conspiracy behind it.
Meanwhile, somewhere in the base, Xiao Li was feeling a wave of unease. He was an ordinary researcher at the base, but a week earlier, he had been compelled to participate in a theft. His family had been kidnapped by an unknown group, who were forcing him to steal the seeds. Xiao Li had no choice but to take the risk. He knew his actions would bring immeasurable losses to the base, but he couldn't bear to see his family in danger.
The investigation proceeded in secret, and clues gradually gathered, eventually pointing to Xiao Li. Under interrogation, Xiao Li initially insisted on his innocence, but his inner struggle and pain intensified. He knew he couldn't keep the truth secret forever, but he couldn't imagine the consequences of revealing the truth.
At that moment, news suddenly arrives from outside the base: a batch of cold-resistant crop seeds has been donated by an anonymous individual, a quantity exactly equal to the stolen seeds. Everyone is shocked. Could someone be secretly aiding the base? And does the appearance of these seeds mean that Xiao Li's crimes can be forgiven?
However, things weren't quite as simple as they seemed. The letter left by the donor mentioned that he had obtained the seeds from a secret source, none other than the Hope Base. It turned out another force within the base was secretly manipulating the situation, exploiting Xiao Li's vulnerability to orchestrate this elaborate theft, aiming to disrupt the base's research and shift the blame.
After learning the truth, Xiao Li suddenly woke up from his dream. He was both thankful that he had not become the real criminal and regretful of his initial weakness and ignorance. He decided to cooperate with the task force to thoroughly uncover the enemy hidden in the base.
After much deliberation, Xiao Li and the task force finally uncovered the masterminds. They turned out to be a group of spies from abroad, intent on sabotaging the research on cold-resistant crops to achieve their own ulterior motives. After a thrilling confrontation, the spies were apprehended, and Xiao Li, having made meritorious contributions, was given a lighter sentence.
The Hope Base is back on track, and research on cold-resistant crops has achieved breakthroughs thanks to the efforts of Xiao Li and others. Whenever a cold wind blows across the lush green experimental fields, people remember the young man who once made a mistake but ultimately found his way back. Xiao Li knows he will spend his entire life making up for that mistake, protecting the warmth and hope that belong to every seed on this land.
The col, usually shrouded in tranquility and peace, was now filled with an indescribable sense of eeriness and tension. Sunlight filtered through sparse clouds, dappling the rugged mountain landscape, but it could hardly dispel the thick shadows. In this hidden corner, a group of beautiful Chinese people were conducting a chilling training exercise—they were training an army of zombies.
These zombies, once ordinary villagers and wanderers, have been transformed by an unknown drug into hideous monsters with dull eyes. Their skin has taken on an unnatural grayish-white hue, and their faces are covered in traces of decay, as if silently revealing their unfortunate fate. Their movements are mechanical and stiff, as if driven by some irresistible force.
The beautiful Chinese stood by, observing all this with a cold gaze. Their faces betrayed no trace of sympathy or pity, only a thirst for power and an obsession with control. They held various instruments and chemicals, constantly adjusting and strengthening the zombies. In their eyes, these zombies were merely tools and pawns, used to fulfill their schemes and ambitions.
The deep roars and screams of the zombies echoed through the valley, their sounds particularly harsh in the silent ravine. A sickening, decaying odor hung in the air, as if reminding everyone of what was happening. Meanwhile, the American people continued their training, as if they had become accustomed to this scene, even enjoying it.
This scene, filled with terror and despair, reveals the dark side of human nature and its thirst for power. In this seemingly absurd story, we can't help but wonder: What forces drive them to do such a thing? What impact will their actions have on the world? And what can we do to prevent this from happening?
The zombies' eyes glowed bloodshot, as if scorched by flames. Their skin had begun to peel and fester, revealing dark red flesh and white bones beneath. Every time the wind blew, the sickening stench of decay could be smelled. Even more terrifying, these zombies were extremely sensitive to human scent. If anyone approached, they would attack frantically, as if to tear them to shreds.
