"We're too late! I wonder if that person is even here!"
The man kicked down the dilapidated door, and the female zombie behind him looked at the baby in the man's arms with a smile like an aunt.
Upon entering the base, the dilapidated scene was completely different from the previous base. Various snacks and tea were scattered on the ground, and a speaker by the roadside was still playing softly.
Ah Xiao's gaze shifted from the baby's face to the self-entertaining speaker, his sharp teeth peeking out from his mouth as if he wanted to bite the scalding speaker directly.
The man swiftly kicked the stereo open, then pretended not to care and walked on.
"Ho—"
The zombie Ah Xiao was clearly angry. The baby waved its two white, tender arms and accidentally bumped into the cold little hand.
"Heh~"
Ah Xiao called out gently and followed closely.
The man withdrew his squinting eyes and casually curled the corners of his lips.
Passing by a dilapidated iron gate, inside which was a blood-covered zombie, clinging to the gate, trying to get out.
"Ho—"
"Bang!"
Ah Xiao slammed his hand on the iron gate, opening his mouth wide to scare the zombies inside.
The man looked at the happy baby in his arms and smiled broadly.
He kindly reached out to help open the iron gate, and the zombie inside, dragging its large intestine that had fallen to the ground, lunged at him menacingly.
But Ah Xiao slapped her away in an instant, and seeing the doorplate lying on the ground, she tried to pick it up in confusion.
"The base commander's office?"
The man kicked it. "So he's the base commander! What a pity! But why does he carry that badge with him all the time?"
After circling the base, the man confirmed that the person he was looking for wasn't there, and then turned and left.
The map indicated this was roughly the area. The man frowned, the map in his hand was crumpled to shreds, but it didn't stop him from finding his way.
"I heard he was assigned here, Ah Xiao, you must believe me, I will definitely find him!"
The man's gaze was firm. He twisted the accelerator, and the car shot forward from where it stood.
......
After a day and a night of travel, everyone finally saw the gate of the base.
"Wow! That's the legendary mega-base! Look at the gate, these walls, it exudes an air of grandeur!"
"Southern Security Base? This was specially set up by the country in the early days of the apocalypse, how could it not be magnificent?"
"Mom! This place is like heaven! It can definitely keep out those man-eating zombies!"
"Yes! Great! We've finally arrived!"
"......"
The car was in chaos. The day and night journey had already exhausted them, and now that they finally saw a glimmer of hope, everyone was overjoyed and wept tears of joy.
Li Xin felt a sense of awe upon seeing the crowd standing on the wall; their strength far surpassed their own.
Wow! It's the boss! Base commander, look! It's the base commander!
The man in the car held the handlebars with one hand and excitedly pointed at the wall with the other.
"So that's why the deputy base commander and the base commander both ran away in their middle age! They were waiting for us here!"
Li Xin craned his neck to look over the wall, tears streaming down his face as if he were seeing a loved one.
They had already made up their minds from the beginning: they would let him collect the junk while they came to enjoy themselves in a big city.
"Base Commander? Base Commander? What's wrong? Why are you crying all of a sudden! Don't get agitated!"
"Brother, don't try to comfort him. He's obviously seeing family! How could he not cry?"
Li Xin wiped away his tears of pain and snorted coldly, "Who cares about them? I'm here to settle accounts with them!"
The people on the wall waved their arms happily when they saw the rumbling of the car.
"They're here! Great! We made it in time!"
Zhang Renli happily spun around. What he couldn't let go of most after coming here were the survivors. Fortunately!
Chen Chao directed the group, and the door was opened by their combined efforts.
Lin Anran was the first to enter the base on her motorcycle.
"boom--"
She took off her helmet, looking both cool and stylish. She tilted her head and was immediately embraced by her mother.
"Ranran! You're so handsome! Mom loves you the most! Come here and let Mom give you a kiss!"
"Huh...wait? What? Let me go!"
Lin's father shook his head helplessly and pulled the fussy Lin's mother to the back to help.
Lin Anran got out of the car with a smile and followed.
Li Xin, as the head of the Dawn Base, pretended to be serious when negotiating with Chen Chao.
"Hello! Commander Li, my name is Chen Chao, welcome!"
"Hello, Commander Chen! Thank you so much for your tireless help. We are extremely grateful. We apologize for bothering you!"
Both sides exchanged pleasantries, and the base suddenly became lively.
Children and the elderly got off the minibus, their eyes taking in their surroundings.
"Wow! It's so big! Grandma, are we going to live here?"
"Yes! Xingxing, let's live here from now on, okay?"
"Are there still those monsters here? Xingxing wants to fight monsters!"
"My dear star, this place is gone. Let's live a good life here."
"......"
This conversation brought tears to everyone's eyes. Although they didn't know what the future held, at least they were safe for now.
"Tsk—Everyone, please be quiet. I am Chen Chao, the base commander of the Southern Base. As you all know, there is a zombie horde. Please pack your things as soon as possible and prepare to fight at any time!"
"Tsk—Everyone, please be quiet. I am Chen Chao, the base commander of the Southern Base. As you all know, there is a zombie horde. Please pack your things as soon as possible and prepare to fight at any time!"
"Tsk—Everyone, please be quiet. I am Chen Chao, the base commander of the Southern Base. As you all know, there is a zombie horde. Please pack your things as soon as possible and prepare to fight at any time!"
"......"
The broadcast played on a loop, and people were busy with their work with a tense atmosphere.
The zombie horde could surge at any moment, and their only task now is to be ready to fight back at any time.
The battle horn had sounded. Lin Anran and the others stood on the wall, looking at the densely packed zombies in the distance with mixed feelings.
"Those must be the zombie horde! It looks like they're coming!"
Lin's mother was a little excited; it had been a long time since she had shown off her skills!
However, this time it's really a bit tricky!
Jiang Rong's excitement was written all over her face. "Great! It's finally here! I've been waiting so long!"
Ma Yang adjusted his glasses and analyzed seriously, "Based on their movement patterns and speed, tonight might be too early; they won't arrive here until tomorrow morning!"
Lin Yu: "Wow, Brother Ma, you can even figure this out! That's amazing!"
Ma Yang curled his lips into a smile. "It's alright! If you study a bit more, you'll be as smart as me!"
Everyone: ......
