The buffet lasted until 10 p.m., and almost everything, from meat and stir-fries to vegetables and fruits, was devoured.
Braised pork belly, braised pork hock, roasted chicken legs, grilled squid, king crab, and braised prawns – this is simply a culinary feast.
Everyone left satisfied only after their bellies were full.
With points and delicious food, today was an unimaginable carnival for everyone at the base.
Only after everyone had left did Ye Ning speak up: "Brother Zhao, Uncle Gao, Sister Li, please stay for a while. Let's have a short meeting first!"
"Okay!" The group nodded.
Ye Ning and Xiao Jingchen sat at the head of the round table, while the others sat around the table.
"The second large-scale zombie horde is coming soon!" Ye Ning said bluntly.
"What?" Apart from Xiao Jingchen, the rest of the people were shocked.
“Miss, but didn’t the zombies already invade before? And we set up electric fences outside, so the zombies couldn’t break through at all!” Gao Feng asked first.
“That was the last wave; this time it will only be more troublesome than the last one.” Ye Ning shook her head solemnly.
"Because of the rising temperature, this time the zombies will be more powerful than before, both in terms of agility and strength."
One degree may not seem like much, but they are facing tens of thousands of zombies, which together make it terrifying.
"Moreover, this time the zombies are different from the last ones. This time they are not identified by sound or the movement of objects, but by ultraviolet light."
"As long as they are within 500 meters of you, your whereabouts will be virtually impossible to hide."
"What's so scary? Does that mean we basically have no way to avoid being searched by zombies?" Sister Li asked, posing a soul-searching question.
“Absolutely right! This direct conflict is definitely unavoidable, so I’ve come here to discuss countermeasures with you!” Ye Ning said calmly.
In fact, Gao Feng and the others had already panicked when Ye Ning brought this up.
"Miss, Young Master Xiao, what do you think we should do about this?" After all, they had very little experience dealing with zombies.
"Jingchen, what do you think?" Ye Ning first handed the floor to Xiao Jingchen.
"In my opinion, we should continue to recruit more people, even though it would be safest to withdraw everyone back to the shelter."
“But the base has been developing for so long, it would be such a waste to give up now,” Xiao Jingchen analyzed.
If they want to avoid being controlled by Xinyuan Group in the future, they must expand their territory.
If the construction here is abandoned or destroyed, it will not be easy to find such a suitable location again in the future, so this base camp must be preserved.
Only in this way can we quickly gain a foothold in the era of superpowers.
"If we are unwilling to give up, then we must find a way to protect this place, which requires more manpower."
“Since conflict is inevitable, let’s just use a simpler method and resort to violence!” A cold glint flashed in Xiao Jingchen’s eyes as he pulled a 98k from under the table.
"Let's just use this to deal with them!"
Anyway, we haven't used this batch of goods since it was seized, so it's a good opportunity to see their power.
Gao Feng was almost startled by the 98k; in his 40-plus years of life, it was the first time he had ever seen such a weapon of mass destruction.
"Isn't this... a bit too much?" Gao Feng asked tentatively.
"Not an exaggeration at all!" Xiao Jingchen rolled his eyes. After the zombies went berserk, their lethality increased exponentially. Unless you shoot them in the head, it would be very difficult to kill them.
"In addition to daily physical training, we must also start shooting training during this period."
"Old Zhao, I'm leaving this to you! You can come and pick up the rest of the weapons later!" Xiao Jingchen casually tossed the 98k to Zhao Xuan.
“No problem!” Zhao Xuan nodded without hesitation.
"Besides that, there's something else I need to discuss with you. Ye Ning and I are planning to take a few more people back this time. The shelter is too big, and I'm afraid we won't be able to keep an eye on it." Xiao Jingchen took a sip of coffee.
“Of course, no problem! Or, young master, why don’t you take me with you?” Zhao Xuan volunteered.
“That’s definitely not going to work. You need to stay here and oversee the overall situation! Uncle Gao and the others don’t have much combat experience. You must stay here to command.” Xiao Jingchen refused without hesitation.
"Pick a dozen or so reliable people for me, and with Uncle Yun and the others, that should be about right." Xiao Jingchen had already calculated the manpower he needed.
"And another thing! Uncle Gao! You need to continue to raise and reinforce the walls during this period. Also, add a few more watchtowers to ensure that the firepower can cover the entire area!" Ye Ning added.
“Yes, Miss!” Gao Feng replied quickly.
"While the zombies haven't gone berserk yet, let's quickly add two more layers of electric grids, and increase the voltage of the grids as well."
"The temperature is 25 degrees Celsius now, and summer is just around the corner. We must hurry up and get things ready," Ye Ning said solemnly.
The zombies are already showing signs of becoming active. She couldn't quite remember the exact date of their rampage in her previous life, but it probably started in the last ten days or so.
"Sister Li! Is the food supply at the base sufficient lately?" Ye Ning asked Sister Li.
"We have enough for now. If we don't use the stored instant food, it should last for about three months," Sister Li replied after a moment's thought.
"It's best not to use those stored ready-made foods; save them for when it's inconvenient to cook."
Self-heating rice, in particular, will be absolutely essential if you need to go into the wild once the extreme cold returns.
"Then the current food reserves are probably not enough." Because the base will definitely need to recruit more people in the near future.
"Here's what we'll do! I'll give you some supplies. You absolutely must ensure that there's enough food during the days when the zombies arrive, so they don't have to fight the zombies on an empty stomach."
"In particular, meat and staple foods must be supplied in sufficient quantities. Beverages and sweet soups must be available throughout the day."
