Chapter 13 Chapter 13 The First Members of the Base (Part 1)…
Lu Chen left early in the morning every day and came back late at night. No one knew what he was busy with. Anyway, he was just staying for a while, so Su Qing didn't care. Moreover, Lu Chen often brought her a lot of junk...supplies.
Su Qing now has a solar tram and has been out searching for various building materials recently. The resources she needs to consume to build the base are too huge. Even with Lu Chen's occasional sponsorship, it is not enough.
That day, Su Qing got up early in the morning and stood in the field watering the crops. She had picked these crops several times and had stockpiled a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in her backpack.
She didn't know when the cooperation that Lu Chen mentioned would take place. She needed some cash now. There was still more than half a month left before the time agreed with the system. She hadn't had any chance to get gold coins recently. She was a little anxious to sell things for money to pay off her debts first. It seemed that she would have to bring it up with Lu Chen next time he came.
After watering, Su Qing walked towards the breeding area.
There were a lot more chickens, rabbits and fish in the breeding area. When she was searching for supplies outside, she found a cow and a calf that looked like it had just been born on a farm, and she brought them all back.
She now comes to squeeze some milk every day, and the freshly squeezed milk can be refreshed in the mall and turned into milk that can be drunk directly.
She and Fuguier have a cup every morning.
With the blessing of the system, Fuguier grew very fast. In just over a month, it could reach her waist when it stood up. It looked majestic when it was still, but it would lose its majestic power if it moved a little.
For example, now, when Fuguier saw her coming back with the milk bucket, he immediately wagged his tail wildly, snorting under his breath and looking at her with bright eyes.
The only thing she felt thankful for was that this Husky didn’t destroy the house!
"It will be ready soon, just wait!"
Su Qing added dog food to Fuguier's bowl, soaked it in milk, and placed it on the ground.
Seeing Fuguier eating happily, she felt a little worried. Fuguier was growing fast and eating a lot. If this continued, the little dog food in her backpack would not last long, and it was particularly difficult to find.
While eating breakfast, Su Qing opened the system map and looked at a small town not far from here that he planned to visit today.
Now the city she was in had been completely searched by her, and she couldn't find anything. She could only expand her search scope to other places. After determining the route, Su Qing packed up and set off.
Fuguier was now sitting in the passenger seat and could stick his head out of the car window to enjoy the breeze. Su Qing didn't drive fast along the way, but he made Fuguier look like a mentally retarded person. He half-closed his eyes, his ears moved in the wind, and he ate the wind with his teeth bared.
That look made Su Qingle very happy.
The car drove into the town, Su Qing parked the car and started searching with Fuguier.
"Go and see if there is any food for you." Su Qing said to Fuguier.
“Ouch~”
Eating always makes dogs happy. Su Fugui's eyes lit up and he sniffed around actively.
More than a year has passed since the apocalypse, and all those who can move have found a base to survive. This small town is quiet and deserted, with only a few zombies wandering around.
Su Qing went into several stores in succession and found that there was nothing usable left in them, not even broken or rotten things. Everything was cleaned out.
She was a little surprised and went into a few more shops, but they were still empty.
There seems to be someone in this town... otherwise the things wouldn't have been taken so cleanly.
Su Qing took out the gun and held it in her arms, looking around vigilantly. Although she didn't know how to use the gun, it could still be intimidating. She called Fuguier back and told him to stay by her side and not to wander around.
She was really unwilling to go back empty-handed, so she searched carefully for a while and barely found some building materials. Seeing that it was difficult to find anything else, she prepared to leave and go home.
After walking for a while, Fuguier suddenly stopped, sniffed the air with his little nose, then whimpered at Su Qing and ran towards an alley.
Seeing this, Su Qing hurriedly followed.
After running along the alley for a while, the front suddenly opened up and revealed a small park. At the same time, Su Qing saw a faint bloodstain on the ground, and Fuguier, who was running in front, also stopped.
Su Qing put away his gun and walked forward slowly. He saw several zombies lying on the ground in front of him. A girl was sitting under a big tree in the front. The girl was covered in blood and leaned against the tree trunk as if in a coma.
As soon as she approached, she saw the girl suddenly open her eyes, her eyes were cold, and she was about to swing a knife at her.
Su Qing was startled by the girl's action and stepped back repeatedly.
"I have no ill intentions!" Su Qing said.
Fang Qing closed her eyes and opened them again. Seeing a living person in front of her, she said in a cold and hoarse voice, "Leave here."
"Do you need help?"
"Ha! You can't help me, go away." Fang Qing sneered, closed her eyes and leaned back against the tree trunk.
Seeing this, Su Qing took out some anti-inflammatory drugs and gauze from his pocket, actually from his backpack, and put them on the ground. "I have some anti-inflammatory drugs and gauze here. I hope they will be useful to you."
"I was bitten by a zombie. Your things can't save me. Take them."
Su Qing had learned from the system before that if someone was injured by a zombie, they would be infected with the virus and would soon turn into a zombie. In the current world... there was no solution.
Su Qing felt very sad because of the powerless feeling of having to watch someone slowly turn into a zombie.
"System, is there any solution?"
"This life form has been detected and can be refreshed."
What? Su Qing quickly opened the refresh mall and saw that the first icon was lit.
[Infected humans - can be refreshed.]
[Refresh successfully, gain humans who loyally support you. ]
"Congratulations, host! You will gain a very loyal supporter. Please work hard to cultivate your relationship. The reward is 1,000 gold coins, which will be automatically deducted by the system. The current balance owed is 23,800 gold coins."
What is a highly loyal supporter? Su Qing was a little confused, but there was no time to dwell on this. Su Qing stared at the girl to see her reaction.
Fang Qing, who was sitting under a tree, could already feel her life slipping away bit by bit. Something was trying to control her brain, and she was about to lose control of herself.
She raised her hand in despair, pointed the knife at her heart and was about to end her life, when suddenly an electric current seemed to flow through her body, and then she felt her brain begin to clear up.
She was surprised at the changes in herself. She straightened up and slowly stood up. Fang Qing felt that the wounds on her body seemed to be healing. These changes... had only occurred since the person in front of her appeared.
"You saved me?" Fang Qing looked at Su Qing.
"Uh... I guess so." Su Qing felt that it seemed a bit far-fetched to admit that it was her, but she couldn't explain it.
"Can you cure the zombie virus? But you didn't touch me at all just now." Fang Qing was a little confused about how the girl in front of her saved her.
"Uh... just this once! I have my own way. Anyway, you're fine now."
"Thank you, I'm Fang Qing. Thank you for saving me." Her voice trembled slightly, and the despair in her eyes was replaced by tears of gratitude. She bowed deeply to Su Qing, "You saved my life. In the future, if you have any requests, please feel free to ask. As long as I, Fang Qing, can do it, I don't care whether I live or die."
Su Qing saw Fang Qing bowing to her and quickly moved aside, "No need for that, it's just a small favor. My name is Su Qing."
"You're a good person."
"Awoo~" Fuguier, who had been ignored for a long time, looked at the two people and started howling to try to attract their attention. It was obviously this king who discovered this place!
Both of them looked at Fuguier.
Fang Qing was a little surprised to see Fuguier. In this environment where it is difficult for people to survive, there are actually people who keep pets. Seeing that the man and the dog are clean and tidy, she was afraid that they have very good conditions and don't have to worry about food and drink.
"This is my dog, Fuguier. He was the one who noticed something was wrong here and brought me here."
Fang Qing squatted down and touched Fuguier's head, "Then you can be considered my savior."
Fuguier squinted his eyes and rubbed his little head against Fang Qing's hand, acting coquettishly.
"How cute! You guys aren't from here, are you?"
"I live in City D and came here to search for supplies."
"I just said I've never seen you in this small town before."
"Do you live in this town? I see most of the stores are empty."
"Yeah, everyone here has run away, and there aren't many zombies. It's still safe for me."
Su Qing didn't understand what the message given by the newly refreshed mall meant, but it was rare for her to meet someone, so maybe she could try to recruit him back to the base?
"Why don't you find a base to live on?"
"Base? Haha, I came from a base." Fang Qing's expression was a little cold when she mentioned the base. "That place requires you to hand in supplies every day as a condition for staying in the base. The requirements are very harsh. The elderly, the weak, the sick, the disabled, and the children who can't go out to collect supplies can't stay there at all. They can only live as refugees outside the base."
Fang Qing paused for a moment before continuing, "There's all sorts of chaos going on out there, and the people in the base just stand by and watch, completely unconcerned about people's lives. Instead of staying there, it's better to come out and fight for yourselves. At least you don't have to worry about being harmed."
Is the base so complicated? Su Qing was a little surprised.
"But I see there's nothing useful left in the town, let alone food. How... do you survive?"
"Yes, I have searched this place for everything I can use. There's a mountain near the town, and I've been relying on my luck there lately. Today, I saw a wild rabbit, and I chased it here and ran into several zombies. If it weren't for you, I would have died here today. A lot of zombies have come to this town from nearby, and it seems I can't stay here any longer."
Can't stay? There's a way.
Su Qing looked at Fang Qing sincerely, "I have a base, are you interested in coming to my place?"
Fang Qing looked at Su Qing in surprise and said, "Your base?"
"Yes, but the base is very small now and there is no one here. You are the first one. My base is very safe and has abundant supplies. I don't need you to hand over anything. You just need to put in some work in exchange for supplies. I can definitely make sure you have enough food and clothes without any worries." Su Qing nodded repeatedly.
"You look so young, yet you actually built a base? But I'm not alone. I have other people in my family."
"It doesn't matter, more people means more!" There are others? That's simply great. Su Qing looked at Fang Qing with shining eyes.
Fang Qing could hardly bear Su Qing's burning gaze. She was indeed considering changing places. There was no food here, and she couldn't hold on any longer with several children. Perhaps she could consider Su Qing's suggestion.
