Chapter 155 Liancheng Base
Ji Wanwan stretched her sore body and went back to her room to take a shower and rest.
After a good sleep, Ji Wanwan took out the walkie-talkie and called the core members to a meeting. The theme of this meeting was to expand the base.
After returning from Jiangcheng, she has always had some ideas in her mind, but she has no time to put them into action. Now that the base has entered a stable period, it is time to start considering expansion.
I just finished notifying you when the long-awaited task reminder sound came.
[Beep——]
[New Mission: Expand Base Range (Liancheng Base)]
[Task completion time: 30 days]
Mission Completion Reward: Restore Liancheng's city system (the city area exists independently, unaffected by interference from other cities, and can resist level 5 and lower evolved zombies); select a designated person to awaken a common superpower; the host can choose to increase one of four physical abilities by 80 points.
[Mission countdown: 29 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds]
The system's mission was just as she thought.
Now, all the zombies in Liancheng have been eliminated except in remote areas, and Liancheng can be completely rebuilt.
Although Liancheng is not a first-tier city, it has a fairly complete urban system and a large area. Once the entire city is developed into a survivor base, it will be able to absorb most of the survivors in China to seek refuge.
Soon, all the core members of the base arrived.
Ji Wanwan briefly explained her ideas to everyone.
Everyone had different expressions. Some thought that Ji Wanwan was too radical and that it was enough to defend the current base. Some thought that Ji Wanwan's idea was very bold and worth a try. Others didn't care and let Ji Wanwan give them orders. They would attack wherever Ji Wanwan pointed.
After a heated discussion, a compromise conclusion was finally reached.
The base's combat power is divided into three waves. One wave guards the current base's safety, and one wave performs a carpet cleanup of Liancheng to ensure that no zombies are left behind. Each time an area is cleaned, it is marked and the last wave of people will rebuild it.
Since the base is backed by mountains and is located on the edge of Liancheng, the task of cleaning and reconstruction is carried out from the base to the other end of Liancheng.
When it comes to the border between the two cities, the reconstruction workers will build a high-density hole guardrail and pass high voltage electricity through the guardrail to kill the zombies at the first touch.
In this way, the expansion task of the base began in full swing.
The people in the base work hard every day, especially those who originally lived in Liancheng, who put all their efforts into rebuilding their homes.
Ji Wanwan had been busy these days, accompanying Qi Hao's grandmother from time to time, trying to wake Qi Hao up every day, massaging Xia Li's limbs before bed to prevent muscle necrosis, regularly inspecting the base, occasionally leading people to the next city to kill a wave of zombies and loot some supplies, giving guidance on base expansion every now and then, regularly maintaining the relationships among the core members, and so on...
On this day, Ji Wanwan left the base to inspect the reconstruction work in Liancheng.
When she arrived at the designated area, she saw someone who looked familiar.
Wang Youde? !
Ji Wanwan's body trembled, and some long-forgotten memories flooded into her mind.
Oh dear, before going to Jiangcheng, she had promised Wang Youde that he would come find her, but she forgot! !
This kid, why hasn't he said anything even though she's been back for so long?!
Ji Wanwan felt guilty.
Just as she was about to call Wang Youde, someone spoke before her.
"Hey there! Come over here and spit some fire! Help me weld these two together!" A middle-aged man wearing a safety helmet looked at Wang Youde in a commanding manner with a defiant tone.
The man being ordered around lowered his head, his emotions undetectable.
He walked forward with a dragging step, raised his hand slightly, and started to spit fire in the direction the middle-aged man pointed.
I haven't seen this kid in a while, and he's actually awakened his fire ability! He's a promising youngster indeed!
A trace of relief flashed across Ji Wanwan's eyes.
But looking at Wang Youde's appearance, why does he seem to be keeping his head down and lowering his head?
Ji Wanwan, who was originally planning to call for help, turned her eyes away and said nothing. Instead, she stood silently not far away, quietly looking at Wang Youde.
Something had just been welded here when the man in the helmet pushed Wang Youde and said, "Go, bring me some water."
Ji Wanwan narrowed her eyes.
If the previous matter was a business matter, the tone could be almost understood, but what about helping to get water?
This kind of nasty attitude, I think anyone with a bit of blood would resist, right? Not to mention he's an awakened superpower!
But the fact is that Wang Youde had no intention of resisting at all. Instead, he hung his head and walked towards the place where the supplies were stored without saying a word.
Even though Ji Wanwan was slow-witted, she could tell that something was wrong with Wang Youde.
What's wrong with this child?
What happened to the child while she was away from the base?
On the ruins of the building, Wang Youde handed the water to the man and was about to turn around to do his own thing when he heard the man behind him sneer: "Little white face, even after awakening the superpower, he is still a weakling..."
Wang Youde's hands hanging at his sides suddenly clenched, and the veins on his forehead bulged visibly.
He is angry.
Just when Ji Wanwan thought he was going to attack, he suddenly loosened his fist, lowered his head and walked away.
The man in the helmet smiled even more contemptuously.
Even Ji Wanwan felt uncomfortable hearing the shrill laughter, let alone Wang Youde?
Seeing Wang Youde walk to the corner and sit down by himself, Ji Wanwan couldn't bear it anymore and walked towards him.
A shadow fell in front of his eyes. Wang Youde, who was eating compressed biscuits, was slightly startled. He frowned impatiently before looking up.
Seeing Ji Wanwan in front of him with anger, he felt a lump in his throat and even forgot to chew the biscuits in his mouth.
"Lord?"
How long had it been since he last saw the lord?
It seems like it’s been a long time...
He thought the lord had forgotten about him, but he didn't expect him to suddenly appear in front of him.
Wang Youde put the uneaten biscuits into his pocket with a half-smile, then stood up from the ground. "My Lord, what instructions do you have for me this time?"
Hiss, Ji Wanwan heard a hint of complaint and grievance.
In an instant, she seemed to understand something.
She pursed her lips slightly and spoke softly, "Before, I went to Jiangcheng for an urgent mission. After I came back, I was busy with the semi-infected people who hurt people. I had no time to take care of other things. Later, the expansion of the base was imminent..."
"So, you just forgot about me..." Wang Youde scoffed and interrupted her: "Right?"
Ji Wanwan felt a lump in her throat and shut up instantly.
She was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. The stubborn look in the man in front of her made Ji Wanwan's claws numb, and she felt like she had let down her young wife.
"Ah, this...this, this, this..." Ji Wanwan stuttered rarely.
Under the man's expectant gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I just forgot!"
