Chapter 59 There are zombies under the house
"My name is Daniel, you can also call me Wang Fugui, which is my Chinese name." Daniel came out in a hurry, without a hat or gloves. He stretched out his red, frozen hands to Su Qing and the others.
When Su Qing and the other two heard the words of the man in front of them, they all looked at Fuguier lying on the ground with different expressions.
Fuguier flashed his white teeth at Daniel with a cold expression. Although he couldn't quite understand the man's gibberish, he still knew the word "Fugui"! How did this stranger know that his name was Fuguier? This person was really suspicious!
"Qin Yu, belongs to the Capital Army Group." Qin Yu stepped forward and said.
"Oh my Jesus! Hello comrade, hello, I have really met my family!" Daniel hugged Qin Yu, his eyes filled with tears of excitement.
Qin Yu was hugged, raised his hand to pat Daniel, then naturally took a step back, looking at him calmly.
"Brother, we saw your distress signal. Do you want to leave?" Li Yi smiled and talked to Daniel.
"Yes, yes, I want to leave! I've been trapped here for over three months and haven't seen a single living person. I'm so lucky to have met you today!" Daniel wrapped his clothes around himself. "It's too cold outside. Let's go inside first."
The three of them looked at each other. Qin Yu asked Su Qing to leave Fuguier on the helicopter to guard him. Then Qin Yu walked in front and Li Yi followed Daniel into the house.
Su Qing looked around. The house was very empty, with few furniture. There were some firewood and wooden boards piled up in a mess in the living room. It seemed that the man had dismantled all the wooden furniture to use for burning for heating.
Daniel led a few people a few steps inside and stopped at a place where a thick quilt was hanging on the wall. He reached out and lifted a corner of the quilt, revealing a door.
When he opened the door, a wave of heat hit them in the face, surprising Su Qing and the others.
Behind the door was a very small and slightly dark room. Two quilts were hung on the wall, probably to cover the windows. A kang occupied half of the room, with various sundries piled around it. There were also two electric heaters on the floor, emitting hot light and illuminating the room.
"You actually have electricity here?" Li Yi asked in surprise.
Since the end of the world, power stations have basically stopped operating. Some bases can barely maintain some electricity by relying on the generators or solar panels they searched for. However, due to fuel shortages and small solar power supply, electricity is used in key places. Most ordinary people live a semi-primitive life without electricity. I didn't expect that this remote little house could still use electricity.
"I'm lucky. There's a small generator in this room. I modified it myself and it works just fine. I use it for an hour during the day and an hour at night. The rest of the time, I still have to rely on this kang to burn wood and coal." Daniel moved the quilt on the kang. "Please take a seat."
"Where are you from, mate? You speak Chinese pretty well." Li Yi walked over and started chatting with Daniel.
Daniel sat by the electric heater to warm his frozen hands and feet. "I'm from M country and have lived in China for many years."
"We are from the Dawn Base. Do you want to live with us at the base?" Su Qing asked.
"You have a base? That's great!" Daniel clapped his hands excitedly and stood up. Then, with an embarrassed look on his face, he thought of something and asked, "What are the requirements for entering your base? I... I'm running low on supplies."
Su Qing smiled. "You don't need anything. If you're really struggling, the base has preferential treatment for new members. The base also provides basic employment guidance. You can earn money based on your own abilities. As long as you work hard, you can survive well there. The base also has heating to cope with the current extreme weather."
"Is there such a good thing? Come on, let me pack up and we'll go now." Daniel's heart stopped for a few seconds when he heard that there was heating. He rubbed his hands, looked around, picked up a bag and put things in it.
Qin Yu hadn't spoken a word since he came in. Seeing this, he asked Su Qing and the other two to leave and return to the helicopter.
He didn't know why, but he felt something was wrong the moment he entered the room. His intuition told him that there seemed to be some danger in the room.
Several people came to the door, and Li Yi reached out and pushed it...but the door didn't move.
Qin Yusu Qing looked at Li Yi in confusion.
Li Yi smiled awkwardly and pushed the door with all his strength.
He pushed the door open a crack, and strong wind and heavy snow rushed in. Li Yi quickly closed the door.
It was then that they discovered that it was unusually dark outside the window, and a heavy snowstorm had actually begun to fall since they had entered.
"It looks like we can't leave for the time being."
Su Qing looked out the window anxiously, only to see the faint shadow of the helicopter. "Fugui'er is still on the helicopter."
Qin Yu stepped forward and said, "Miss Su, I'll go and bring Fuguier back."
"Captain Qin, I'll go with you. It's so windy and snowy outside. I need to put away the helicopter." Su Qing whispered to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu nodded, reached out and pushed the door open, and the two of them walked out quickly.
The strong wind and blizzard blurred the vision around them, but fortunately the helicopter was parked not far away. The two of them walked forward with difficulty against the wind and snow and soon arrived in front of the helicopter.
Qin Yu opened the helicopter door. Fuguier had been waiting impatiently. As soon as he saw the door open, he rushed over. Qin Yu held Fuguier in his arms.
Seeing this, Su Qing on the side immediately put the helicopter into his backpack, and then took out two large backpacks filled with some food and supplies for cover.
The two men and the dog quickly returned to the house.
After closing the door, Qin Yu put Fuguier down. Fuguier stood on the ground and quickly shook off the snow on his body.
"Oh my God, this is the first time I've seen such a heavy snowstorm." Daniel sighed as he stood in front of the window.
"It seems we can't leave for a while." Qin Yu frowned and said in a low voice.
"Brother, do you have any other rooms available? It seems we have to stay here today." Li Yi took the backpack from Su Qing's hand and asked Daniel.
"Yes, there is, but it's not as warm as my room. How about we squeeze in together?"
"Can we take a look first?"
Daniel shrugged and took a few people upstairs.
There is a hall on the second floor, and there are two rooms inside. Daniel opened the two doors and made way.
"The room on the left has fewer windows and is smaller, so it's relatively warm."
Qin Yu looked at the two rooms and nodded, "We'll live in the one on the left. Sorry for the trouble."
Su Qing and Li Yi were a little surprised by Qin Yu's behavior, but they all knew Qin Yu's abilities, so they tacitly did not ask any questions and just followed Qin Yu silently.
Daniel took out a few quilts from other places and brought in a lot of firewood to keep them warm. Qin Yu said that they could sort out the rest themselves. Daniel couldn't stand the cold anyway, so he went back to the room downstairs.
The three people and the dog locked the door, and Qin Yu and Li Yi held two sets of quilts against the window to block out the cold wind.
Su Qing looked at the size of the house and felt that the yurt could fit them both, so he took out the yurt from his backpack, turned on the electric heater inside, boiled a pot of hot water, and shared it with the two of them.
The three of them sat at the table to keep warm.
"Captain Qin, I see that you seem to be very alert here. Have you found something wrong?" Li Yi took a sip of hot water to relieve the coldness in his body and looked at Qin Yu with a puzzled look.
Qin Yu shook his head. "I'm not sure about the details, but I just feel like there's danger in this house."
After hearing this, Su Qing called out the system, "Call Tongzi, call Tongzi!"
“Here I am!”
"Is there anything wrong with this house?"
"Scanning... Scanning completed..."
"Warning! There are zombies underground! Warning! There are zombies underground!"
Su Qing was frightened by the sound of the system and stood up suddenly.
Li Yi was frightened by Su Qing's sudden action and stood up as well, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"There are zombies in this house!"
Qin Yu and Li Yi were stunned after hearing this. There are zombies in the house?
"Miss Su, can you tell me in detail?" Qin Yu observed the place as far as he could see after entering. The area of the small building on the second floor was not very large and the layout was very open, so it was difficult to find a place for zombies to hide.
Su Qing came back to his senses and asked the system about the number of zombies and relayed it to the two of them.
"This house should have a basement, and there are probably a dozen zombies."
Li Yi's eyes widened and he angrily said, "Wow, I knew that if someone is not of my kind, their heart must be different! Is this guy raising zombies?"
Su Qing shook her head. "I don't know any more details. Captain Qin, should we... explore?"
Qin Yu frowned and thought for a moment, "I'll go and take a look at it tonight."
It was still snowing outside. Su Qing sat on the side and used his bracelet to process the information from the base. He learned that there was also a heavy snowfall at the base. He told Fang Qing and other persons in charge to keep the people at the base safe, and he also replenished supplies in the backstage.
Just as she finished, Lu Chen's video popped up.
As soon as the call was connected, Lu Chen's slightly hoarse voice was heard.
"I heard you were trapped?"
Su Qing looked at Lu Chen, whose hair was messed up by the wind and snow, and nodded. "It's snowing so hard outside that we can't leave this small building for now. Is your base okay with this kind of snow?"
"It's not bad."
"Boss, you don't know, we are in trouble." Li Yi saw that it was Lu Chen, so he moved in front of the camera and quickly told Lu Chen what had just happened.
Lu Chen's face darkened, and he said in a serious tone, "Leave as soon as the wind and snow stop. Don't worry about anything else."
"Don't worry, Chief Lu. I will go and check it out alone tonight. If there is any problem, I will take them away immediately." Qin Yu said to Lu Chen solemnly.
It is still unclear why the foreigner keeps zombies in captivity. If... then since he has encountered them, they must be destroyed to prevent them from harming others.
Seeing this, Lu Chen gave a few more instructions, and then someone suddenly called for him outside, so he quickly hung up the video.
As night fell, there was a knock on the door. Su Qing quickly packed up the yurt, leaving only two braziers on the ground. The three of them sat on a mattress and tidied up briefly. Li Yi got up to open the door.
"Hey! What are you guys having for dinner? I have a few packets of compressed biscuits here." Daniel said to them, shaking the things in his hand. Then he walked into the house. "The temperature in this house is still low. Why don't you come down with me and make do with it? It's better to be warmer with more people than to be cold."
"Brother, food is so precious nowadays, you keep it, we brought some food with us. As for the house, we didn't dare to burn too much in order to save some fuel. We can just add two more braziers at night to make do. As soon as the wind and snow stop outside, we will leave immediately." Li Yi put one hand on Daniel's shoulder and said with a smile.
"I'm leaving soon anyway, so you don't have to save money for me. There's still a lot of wood downstairs, and some coal too. You can use it to burn."
Li Yi went downstairs chatting and laughing with Daniel.
Su Qing asked the system in his mind whether Daniel was good or bad.
The only response I got was, "It's impossible to tell without joining the base."
Su Qing had no choice but to wait for Qin Yu to come and check on him later.
