Chapter 41 The First Residents
"Yeah, we have the elderly, the weak, women and children here, how can we defeat those monsters outside."
"Can't we contact the government forces? Can't they send a helicopter to pick us up?"
"There must be too many people to contact, and I couldn't get through on the phone. The government means that we have to rely on ourselves to get out."
"Would you go out on your own and wait to be infected by zombies? Look at those hordes of monsters. We went out one second, and the next second we were pounced on and mauled to death by zombies. What's the difference between dying early and dying late?"
The people in the basement were chattering, had different opinions, and couldn't reach a consensus.
Those who pretend to be strong always want to give it a try, thinking that if they run into government troops when they go out, they might be saved.
At such times, human nature will be fully exposed. People will only think about themselves and will not care about the elderly, the weak, women and children.
Soon, the young people who reached a consensus formed a team, found some handy weapons from the store, and sneaked out late at night.
At this moment, zombies on the roadside smelled the scent of living people and gradually surrounded the bakery.
The old woman in the bakery clasped her hands together and prayed to God for peace.
When Su You arrived here, the glass of the bakery had been broken by zombies.
Robert took a bullhorn knife and stabbed it into the eye socket of a zombie to protect his wife and daughter in the basement.
At the same time, the old woman took a long and thick rolling pin and hit the head in front of her hard.
He kept muttering, "I'll let you bite me, I'll let you bite me!"
Su You walked in and eliminated the zombies in the store, and found that there were only four living people, including a three-year-old child and a white-haired old woman.
Seeing the zombies pouring in from outside, she warned, "Go to the basement first. There are too many zombies."
"Okay." Robert finally reacted.
Although the basement was small, it had a wooden door. They piled flour and butter at the door in an attempt to delay the chance of zombies coming in.
After doing all this, Robert said, "Thank you for helping us get rid of the zombies!"
Su You nodded. "The basement isn't very safe. Why did you go out?"
Robert said, "The people hiding in here with us wanted to go out and find the government troops, but the door of the store was left a crack, and a zombie got in. I wanted to deal with it and close the door, but they found us and attracted more people."
Hearing this, Su You roughly understood what had happened. No wonder she had sensed that there were more than four survivors here. It turned out that quite a few people had escaped.
It seems that the number of available laborers has decreased.
She felt a little regretful.
At this time, the old woman asked in confusion: "Girl, how do you know there are people here? What are you doing here?"
Su You glanced at them, a smile flashing in the corner of his eyes. "I'm the person in charge of a surviving base, and I'm here to search for survivors. I wonder if you're willing to live in a new base?"
Hearing this, the three people's eyes lit up, and even little Jenny asked: "Sister, what is the survival base?"
Su You smiled and touched her furry head. "The base is a safe place for people to live. There are no zombies or disasters. It's just like our life before."
However, facing the adults, she was straightforward and frank. "You need to work to enter the base. After the work is evaluated, you can be assigned to an appropriate position to earn points, which can be exchanged for material and living security."
It sounds no different from the outside, except that money is exchanged for points, and it is not as troubled as the current zombie siege.
Robert was immediately attracted, and it took a day and a half.
He and his wife and daughter felt like they had been going through a long ten years. They were always nervous and dared not relax, for fear that these monsters would run in or that their companions would be transformed.
It's so nice to have a safe place.
However, he was still a little worried. "Where is the base? Is it safe? The city will be blown up soon and it will no longer be safe. The underground air-raid shelter needs to be strong enough."
Su You nodded. "Of course, we can sign a contract. If you are not satisfied with your life in the base, you can ask to be released. I will let you out."
Robert was an adult and of course understood what she meant.
The location of the base is too important to be disclosed, and entry and exit to the base is strictly controlled.
Robert felt that this was an underground organization similar to a doomsday society that was recruiting people to join. The disaster was a good opportunity for them to recruit members.
At the same time, he also believes that even if he arrives at the government resettlement site, it will not mean safety.
After all, for a city that cannot even control the virus infection, the question of whether it will spread to other cities is a very certain one.
Even being outside has become extremely unsafe now.
This girl gave him a very reliable feeling. Maybe the society had a very solid underground fortress that they could rely on to survive.
Robert's thoughts turned over and over, and he finally agreed to her proposal.
Robert said, "I have a farm that specializes in food production. I can provide food breeding for the base."
His wife is a pediatric nurse and is very patient.
The old woman has been making bread for decades and is an excellent baker.
Especially Robert's words made Su You very interested.
She was worried about the large amount of agricultural equipment and land being wasted in the base, and was looking for someone to start farming. Robert appeared just in time to fill the gap.
His wife and the old woman can also continue to work.
Soon, Su You took out a drone from his backpack.
She turned up the special sound that could be played by the drone to bring away the scattered zombies in the area.
At this time, she led the four people through a city air-raid shelter, made a circle, and brought them to the base.
"Okay, we've arrived at the base."
As soon as Robert stepped in here, he could no longer hear any sound from outside.
He stared with wide eyes in shock, looking at some of the buildings in Snow City, and asked in surprise, "Are these buildings replicas of the city buildings on the ground?"
Apart from the lack of buildings, there are almost no signs of human presence, and many places are like the shadow city of Snoa.
They looked at this place and did not hear any sound of zombies, only a quiet and harmonious atmosphere flowed here.
It’s just wonderful!
The moment they entered the base, they agreed with most of Su You's statements and showed great affection for her approachability.
As for being able to let them enter the base, it was really just a coincidence.
Robert was extremely glad that he made the right choice and brought his wife and daughter to the safe underground bunker.
At this time, Su You took out four black cards and handed them to the first group of residents who had just entered the base.
"The black card is your proof of identity here. It records your real information and can help you accumulate and check points, allowing you to live a normal life in the base."
