Walking forward and turning a corner, Jiang Lili saw many young men practicing boxing in the square.
Seeing Qian Lin lead Jiang Li and the others in, no one asked any questions, they just chuckled and cheered:
"Wow, brother, where did you bring so many beautiful women? They're such a feast for the eyes!"
Qian Lin deliberately said fiercely, "Hurry up and practice your punches, stop talking nonsense."
It's clear that everyone got along very well.
Qian Lin smiled sheepishly at Jiang Li and the others.
"We usually like to joke around with each other."
Jiang Li, on the other hand, thought the atmosphere was quite nice.
"Everyone here is in good physical condition."
Upon hearing what Jiang Li said, Qian Lin immediately spoke with pride.
"This is all thanks to our captain. It was our captain who suggested that everyone exercise so that we can have good health."
So every day we either search for supplies or teach the local people how to box.
After saying this, the group crossed the square and arrived at the service center. After obtaining their base cards, they followed Qian Lin to their rented house.
The base card is free to apply for here, and like the first base, it uses points. They rented a small courtyard here.
When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Qian Lin handed the key to Gu Jin and then said...
"If you need anything, you can come to us for help. Most of the people living in the base are villagers, and they are all nice people."
Gu Jin took the key from Qian Lin and said a few words. She walked into the yard and looked around. She was quite satisfied.
"Then you guys pack your things. Do you need me to help you with your luggage?"
Qian Lin said enthusiastically.
"Thank you, but no need to trouble yourself. We can manage on our own. You can go ahead and do your work."
Shi Yuan said to Qian Lin.
Qian Lin didn't insist, thinking that there were many of them and they didn't really need his help, so he went back.
They had just walked in, and their car was still parked in the parking lot. After they decided to stay here, Jiang Li and Gu Jin went out and drove the car in.
They took some daily necessities out of the car and put them in the car, and then the group started carrying their luggage out of the car one trip at a time.
The people at the base were indeed very helpful. Several aunties craned their necks, peeking at the group while asking if they needed any help.
Jiang Li and the others refused. No matter how kind the villagers were, none of them wanted to get too close to people. Besides, the six of them didn't really need help. Human nature is easily tested, especially now that it's the apocalypse.
Due to the appearance of zombies, the Dragon City base has organized several teams to go out and kill them, and the patrols around the base are becoming increasingly strict.
Jiang Li and his team would occasionally join Chen Xianxuan and his group to kill zombies and find supplies, as they needed to understand the situation better since the zombie outbreak had just begun.
Jiang Li and his team were quiet and efficient, and they were also very capable, actively and without hesitation killing zombies.
Therefore, Chen Xianxuan and his team members liked their six-person team very much, and they gradually became known to the people at the base.
The group had been living at the Dragon City base for a month, and nothing had happened that bothered them. They were relaxed and comfortable every day, and no one had deliberately made things difficult for them or picked a fight with them.
When they weren't out killing zombies, the group would hide in the room.
They make dumplings and wontons, cook their favorite dishes, store them away, keep them fresh in the air, and don't have to worry about them getting cold. They can take them out and eat them anytime. Sometimes they sit in their rooms and read books.
The hairy crabs we bought earlier looked pretty good, and they've fallen in love with eating them these past few days. Everyone also really likes crayfish, and a big bowl of spicy crayfish can be finished quickly by the group.
The group was resting at home when they suddenly heard a commotion outside. When they went out to investigate, they saw Captain Chen leading a group of people killing zombies. These zombies were different from the ones they had encountered outside before; their faces and bodies had not yet turned rotten and smelly, but their complexions were pale and their movements were stiff.
People around were running around in panic, but how could there be zombies inside the base?
Gu Jin and the others joined the zombie-killing team, and soon the zombies were dealt with. Having gone out to kill zombies together before, Gu Jin and the others were quite familiar with Captain Chen and his team, so Gu Jin asked.
"Captain Chen, how come there are so many zombies at the base?"
Captain Chen knew that many people had seen the appearance of the zombies, and that the base would be thoroughly investigated afterward, so he didn't deliberately hide anything from them.
"Some of these people were bitten and killed by zombies before, and their bodies were not dealt with in time before they suddenly turned into zombies. Moreover, those who were injured before have also turned into zombies."
Captain Chen paused here, sighed, and continued.
"I suspect these zombies are contagious. People who get scratched may also turn into zombies. I've already had someone keep an eye on those who are injured but haven't turned into zombies yet. You guys should also keep an eye on them at the base, there might be some you miss."
After saying that, Captain Chen left with his men. The others looked serious after hearing what Captain Wang had said, but they did not talk outside.
Back in the courtyard, the group sat in the living room and began to talk. Gu Jin was the first to speak, and she spoke seriously.
"Let's take stock of what we know so far. We just learned from Captain Chen that zombies are contagious, so we all need to be careful and avoid getting hurt."
The others nodded in agreement, and besides what Gu Jin had said, they summarized other points as well.
First, zombies can only be knocked down by hitting their heads; other parts are useless. Even if they lose their legs, they will still crawl forward, but they are usually very slow.
Secondly, zombies are contagious. If someone is scratched by a zombie, that person will also turn into a zombie. It's just unknown how long it will take for them to turn into a zombie.
Thirdly, zombies feed on flesh. If a person is captured by a zombie, they are very likely to be devoured. Even if you are lucky enough to escape, you will soon become a zombie yourself.
Fourthly, zombies don't just appear on humans; animals can also be infected.
Fifth, corpses can also be infected and turn into zombies. So now, if someone is scratched or dies from illness, their body must be cremated to prevent them from turning into zombies.
These are all conclusions drawn by the group over this period of time, based on their experience of going out to kill zombies and the events of today.
"It seems that these zombies won't be a problem that can be dealt with in a short time."
Fu Xiaxia said helplessly, resting her chin on her hand.
"The main problem is that corpses can also be contagious. Think about how many people have died since the apocalypse. The corpses in the extreme cold certainly didn't decompose before. We just don't know when the zombies started."
If they suddenly appeared recently, then there might be fewer zombies. But if the zombie virus was already present at the start of the apocalypse, then the bodies of those who died earlier might not have decomposed and instead turned into zombies, so the number would be…”
Jiang Li didn't continue speaking, but everyone else already understood what was coming next.
