Chapter 97 Arrival at the Base
Su You didn't know what happened in the carriage. He was just trying to save someone.
As long as you don't cause trouble, there won't be any problem.
The mountain roads are not maintained and there are many obstacles.
In some places, you can still see mountain torrents and mudslides caused by heavy rains and earthquakes, which have caused changes in vegetation and terrain and blocked the way forward.
In many places, they had to take detours, but even so, some vehicles got stuck in the mud and had to be abandoned.
After more than five hours of trekking, they finally arrived deep in the mountains, at the Adra base established by the military.
The Adra base was originally a military exercise and training site. It can also be used for some conventional weapons exercises and training. It also has a wide fighter takeoff runway and various land buildings.
However, the reason it can be converted into a shelter is that part of the mountain has been hollowed out, with air-raid shelters to defend against missiles and large-scale lethal weapons, and it can accommodate more than 100,000 people.
At this time, many survivors nearby heard the government's rescue information and chose to drive to the base entrance on their own.
When their convoy approached the base, it was already visible to the naked eye that there were more vehicles, and the military had set up heavy barbed wire fences and carried out strict screening to prevent infected people from sneaking in and causing greater chaos and the fall of the base.
Speaking of which, Country A is extremely unlucky.
Before the global rainstorm, a zombie crisis broke out in their city of Snowe.
To prevent the spread of infection, they risked the attention of the entire world and launched nuclear weapons in an attempt to cover up the scandal.
However, the spread of the T virus still exceeded their expectations. It spread through various media such as animals and water sources, causing outbreaks in various cities, and there was a risk of it spreading to the whole world.
At this moment, a global rainstorm broke out.
The outbreak of natural disasters hindered the further spread of the T virus, but it also destroyed the homes of hundreds of millions of people, leaving many people homeless and wandering the streets.
The subsequent earthquake and the largest volcanic eruption in the country triggered a series of subsequent disasters. The volcanic ash that covered the sky caused serious respiratory problems, and many people died of suffocation due to this problem.
The vegetation loses light and thus the energy for photosynthesis, causing it to shed its leaves and wither, leaving the mountains bare.
More importantly, due to the impact of heavy rains, the harvests of large farms in the vast and flat areas of the central region were reduced. In the absence of sunlight, food production further deteriorated, and the losses were simply incalculable.
The only good news is that Leeson, an expert in T virus research, was rescued before the city's nuclear explosion. Their vaccine research and development was carried out smoothly and achieved a breakthrough, which was able to curb the deterioration of many infected people.
Under normal circumstances, this would definitely be great news, but now even the commander of the Adra base is not very happy.
Now, he is extremely troubled by the explosive increase in the number of refugees in the base.
There were too many people coming, and with the food and accommodation required, even the Adela base was under tremendous pressure.
Just the daily food consumption is a huge problem.
Although the base has a lot of supplies stored, it cannot support the three meals a day of more than 100,000 people.
As he watched the stored supplies being consumed day by day, his hair turned white.
"Sir, a group claiming to be led by Li Xiannian is requesting to see Professor Li Sen. We would like to ask for your permission!"
The base commander's men came in to report.
"Li Xiannian, he's here?"
The base commander was not surprised to hear this name. Professor Li Sen played a huge role in the research of the T virus vaccine, and his father was a wealthy man with many connections.
Now that he has arrived at the base, the base commander does not object.
However, another sentence from his subordinate caught his attention:
"However, he doesn't seem to plan to stay here. He just wants to settle the people who came with him and also wants to see his son Li Sen."
"He also brought with him a wilderness survival crew that lost contact in the Polly Mountains before the rainstorm. They included two international actresses, the director, and some crew members. They must have met them on the way."
The base commander pondered, "Oh, this is indeed surprising. You should pay more attention to them and see what they plan to do next."
The subordinate nodded and saluted: "Yes, sir!"
Although some wealthy people also have refuges, the only ones he knows about on this side of the Poly Mountains are the Adra Base and some other smaller refuges.
There are many people at the Adela base, but the facilities are relatively complete. The disadvantage is that the large number of people leads to limited food allocation, simple accommodation, and strict militarized management, which has caused many refugees to complain.
Perhaps Li Xiannian heard some rumors, so it's no wonder that he didn't want to stay here.
However, he thought of something and sneered coldly.
Some people only care about immediate interests and don't look at the long-term.
In such a natural disaster situation, even though many countries on the planet are hostile to each other, they are forced to form a temporary alliance and share intelligence and clues with each other.
Especially in recent days, Xia Guo shared a secret intelligence he had obtained for the sake of everyone on the planet.
After a volcanic eruption, there will be gray fog.
Certain factors in this gray fog will cause animals and plants to mutate in unpredictable directions. There are also some mutated insect swarms lurking in it, which are extremely toxic and will bring great danger to humans.
Once this happens, many disaster scenes in popular film and television dramas may become reality.
At this time, the only way to survive is in a strong and safe shelter, protected by the powerful military force of the army.
Therefore, many people cannot stand the strict management of military shelters and choose some small shelters, where they are likely to be attacked by these monsters.
News has arrived from the troops stationed in Kotka that the existence of insects in the gray fog has been confirmed.
Only high-temperature flamethrowers can eliminate these unknown insects.
Moreover, they also discovered that the surrounding zombies were affected by the gray fog, and their originally low-intelligence behavior seemed to have evolved. They were able to gather in large groups, causing an impact on some small human survival shelters.
This was only the first time the gray fog descended, and its consequences were already developing in unpredictable directions.
If the gray fog descends again, will it continue to have a superimposed effect on the zombies?
The base commander had to be alert and carefully study the base layout, terrain, and weapons defenses.
If that were the case, it would be truly horrible.
