Chapter 401 The Beast Tide Invades



The last time she came to the base, the atmosphere wasn't great, but at least it wasn't this tense.

And now...anyone who passes by can see that he is not at ease.

Jiang Zhuo sighed softly, "We're all from the same base. If something happens on the other side, everyone will be in danger."

"All the leaders have left for work. They were supposed to be the ones to receive the owner, but their superiors couldn't spare the time, so I'm here. Once they're settled, I'll come to the owner in person."

"No, no, I'll go by myself." She couldn't bear to have the leader come to her in person. "But... what are you guys busy with at the base?"

"Actually..." An unnatural reaction appeared on Jiang Zhuo's face.

"What?"

Jiang Zhuo gritted his teeth and decided to tell her: "Actually, mudslides are not the biggest hidden danger."

"What is that?"

"It's...it's a mutant beast!"

A word immediately popped up in her mind: "Beast attack?"

Jiang Zhuo admitted: "Yes."

Xie Purou wanted to ask something, but she didn't dare to ask directly, for fear that she would ask some confidential questions that would embarrass Jiang Zhuo.

"Can I take a walk around the base? If you want to buy something, you can go directly there. Chu En will receive you and she can make the decision for me."

Jiang Zhuo said respectfully, "Of course, the higher-ups have given the order, the owner is free to move around."

Xie Purou immediately wanted to go out and take a look. After saying goodbye to Jiang Zhuo, she returned to her room and changed into a set of clothes that would blend in naturally with the base. She then put on a thick coat that the base had purchased from her, and finally a raincoat.

In order to make it easier for them to transport the goods, she controlled the cruise ship so that there would be no rain and people would have to leave the area to get wet.

I asked M80 to turn on the temperature sensor, walked for a while, tentatively stepped out of the cruise ship's operating area, and stretched out my hand to feel the temperature outside.

She held an umbrella in one hand, and the cold wind blew on her hand, and the bone-chilling coldness came from her hand.

I quickly pulled my hand back. After only leaving it outside for a short while, my warm little hand turned red from the cold.

Gritting his teeth, he jumped out of the business scope.

She was so cold that she blew on her hands to warm them up a few times, then quickly put her hands into her coat pockets.

Fortunately, she was wearing enough clothes, otherwise she might not have the courage to step out.

M80 said considerately: [Host, do you need some long johns? We're close now, so there's still time to go back.]

Xie Purou snorted, "Who are you looking down on?"

If she really can't stand it, she can just turn off the temperature sensor.

Turning on the warmth sensor is not to seek trouble, but to try to integrate into the crowd and see what the outside world is like.

She walked forward casually. She didn't see much green plants in the base, and it took her a while to reach the residential area.

Before she knew it, she had reached the villa area.

Outside the villa area, two elderly ladies holding umbrellas and wearing raincoats were cleaning the garbage from the sewer.

The geographical location of the first base is high, and with the floor drain purchased from Grape B&B, the accumulated water only reaches the aunt's calf.

The two aunts chatted casually while cleaning.

The sound of raindrops hitting the water was loud, and the distance between them was quite far. The two aunts were still chatting loudly, and she walked not far away, slowing down her pace and hearing them clearly.

"This world really doesn't leave us any chance of survival. Life is already so difficult, and yet God still sends mutant beasts to steal our territory during this natural disaster."

"Who says it isn't? It's already annoying enough to be on guard against zombies, and now we have to be on guard against mutant beasts. This life is really not a life for human beings."

"I heard that several soldiers died trying to drive away those beasts. Life is already tough, and if a man dies in a family, wouldn't that be even worse?"

"Well, after all, it's the higher-ups' business, let's get to work!"

Xie Purou wanted to hear more about what the people thought of the base, but unfortunately the two aunts stopped talking and she had no chance to listen.

Just as she was about to continue walking forward, there was suddenly chaos in the distance.

The sharp whistling of air raid sirens makes people feel nervous and uneasy in an instant. It is warning everyone that danger is coming.

Xie Purou looked around but didn't see anything wrong nearby.

The alarm was base-wide. Since the First Base was so loud, it didn't necessarily mean that her location was in danger.

The base broadcast sounded.

"Attention all residents! A beast tide is coming! A beast tide is coming! All residents, please stop what you are doing immediately and seek shelter indoors."

The broadcast was repeated three times, and the announcer's voice became higher and higher, making the listening residents feel nervous along with the tension in his tone.

The situation was in chaos now. The two aunts in front immediately dropped their work, picked up the equipment they brought and set off to go back.

The rest of the people also took action immediately, running and complaining.

"What's going on at the north gate? Isn't the beast tide at the north gate of the base? Why are we running back to our rooms too?"

"Could it be that the north gate has been breached? Are they about to break in?"

"No way, aren't there so many soldiers and people with special abilities protecting us? They shouldn't be able to attack us here."

"Don't worry about it, just run quickly, or you won't be able to escape later."

"I really don't know what the base is keeping those soldiers for. They can still be attacked by mutant beasts. We live in the base and have to hand over so many crystal cores to them. It's really useless!"

"Stop complaining. Can you find a better place than the First Base?"

"I heard the environment at the private base is pretty good. Although it's a bit expensive, they have security and good treatment. As long as you hand in the crystal cores, you can get a woman to accompany you every month. Hehehe..."

Some people on the side couldn't stand the conversation between the two shameless guys, especially when they slandered the soldiers guarding their base, which made some people feel uncomfortable.

When disaster strikes, everyone is busy cleaning up their own mess. With the idea that less is more, someone trying to stop them from slandering the soldiers could only say, "You're still thinking about women at this time? Run!"

There was a lot of noise, and the two people were just taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to what they were saying, so they became even more outrageous.

The man's words asking them to run quickly still made the two of them uncomfortable.

"What's it to you? We're going to say it. The base doesn't care, and you want to take charge of us?"

The base really couldn't handle so many of those idiots right now. Even if someone committed a crime, as long as it wasn't a serious one, the base wouldn't detain them.

Even if they are locked up, they still need to be provided with food and accommodation. Of course, those locked up also need to work. For some people, the treatment of being locked up is much better than going out to fight zombies on their own. At least there is no danger to their lives.

Many people would rather be locked up. The base is overwhelmed by this but has no way to deal with it.

In response, no one paid any attention to them. The two of them did not take it seriously and were secretly delighted. Their mean-spirited nature was fully reflected in them.
