Chapter 71 Reorganizing the Base
"It's me. Gu Cheng."
Luo Qin coughed lightly, his face turning a little pale.
As an early awakener, the excessive use of ice-type abilities almost consumed all of his mental energy. In addition, he had just undergone surgery to remove the bullet in his leg, making him look very weak.
Gu Cheng saw at a glance that Luo Qin was injured and asked anxiously, "General Luo, are you injured?"
Luo Qin shook his head. "I'm fine, just some minor injuries. How are you and your brothers?"
Gu Cheng nodded. "We're fine. You led Tu Biao into the secret warehouse, so he can't attack us. To us, the remaining men are just a pile of loose sand. Even if they have guns, they're just useless. Don't worry, we're all fine."
After hearing his words, Luo Qin's expression eased a lot and he nodded.
"Yes, you did a great job."
After the two exchanged information, they couldn't help but sigh.
There was a sudden riot in the base that day. Tu Biao took advantage of the chaos to break in and used his lightning ability to injure many of his men.
This ability was so bizarre that it could even defend against and kill ordinary bullets. Many soldiers had no experience in dealing with this kind of person and were caught off guard by him.
Moreover, Tu Biao had already sent people to infiltrate the base to gather information inside and wait for the right time to take action.
When they discovered it later, it was too late.
Taking advantage of the riot, he easily controlled Luo Qin's wife and daughter, as well as the relatives of some important generals. Everyone in the base was his hostage.
Tu Biao was well prepared and brought enough chips into the command post.
At that time, Luo Qin's special ability had just shown signs of awakening, and with only conventional weapons, he could not hurt Tu Biao at all.
In order not to disturb Tu Biao, he planned to wait before taking action.
Later, Gu Cheng sent him a message saying that he had also awakened a plant-vine-related ability, which led to the scene of pretending to compromise with Tu Biao.
Luo Qin had no intention of coming back alive.
According to the information, Tu Biao is an ambitious man. If he takes control of the base, the entire area around the mountainous area will no longer be able to receive assistance from the base and may even be abandoned by Tu Biao. This area will degenerate into a hopeless hell.
Now that he is dead, it is good news for everyone.
Su You and Luo Qin share the same opinion.
Although she did not have Tu Biao's complete information, she had experiences from her previous life. Tu Biao was too ruthless in his actions. Whether in public or in private, she would not leave behind such an inhuman opponent.
"Well, since Tu Biao is dead, General Luo has checked and found no problems, and he will be back soon."
"You can first eliminate Tu Biao's men, appease the people, and rebuild the base. As for this man's body, I will take it away first."
After Luo Qin and Gu Cheng finished speaking, Su You spoke up.
Gu Cheng realized belatedly that General Luo was not in the ward at the base at all. The resources here were limited and the lights would not have such a strong and stable voltage.
A trace of doubt came to my mind. Where did this woman come from? How did she have such abundant resources?
He was also able to kill Tu Biao, rescue General Luo from his hands, and even transfer him to another place in a short period of time.
This is outrageous.
Of course, Gu Cheng's good professional ethics prevented him from asking.
This man is their friend, not their enemy.
In these apocalyptic times, people who are willing to lend a hand are always extremely precious.
"Okay, thank you very much."
Gu Cheng thanked her. Although he still had some doubts, he did not stop the woman from opening the space door.
Su You nodded, pulled Tu Biao's leg and walked into the space door.
This guy is pretty good. He has strong observation skills and good adaptability. He is also a control-type psychic. I really want to have him as my subordinate.
But it seems that General Luo will not let him go. This young man dares to take risks for General Luo and is also a loyal soldier.
Of course she wouldn't take away someone else's favorite thing.
In this operation, Tu Biao was her main target, and the others were considered to be doing General Luo a favor.
It can be said that the harvest was very fruitful.
*
The base didn't suffer much damage from this riot, but it served as a wake-up call to everyone.
The injured need to be treated, the dead need to be buried, the trouble caused by Tu Biao's men needs to be quelled, and the damaged walls and facilities need to be repaired.
The impact of the natural disaster outside is immeasurable. Tens of millions of people in the entire city have been affected, and order is in chaos. The official base can accommodate too few people, and it is necessary to urgently build air defense facilities and launch rescue operations.
In short, there are still many things to deal with.
Gu Cheng had no time to rest and quickly plunged into a new round of work.
Later, General Luo came back soon, feeling much better both mentally and physically.
After coming into contact with the mysterious woman, General Luo seemed to have made up his mind.
He began to actively build and expand shelters, regroup the rescued people, and start indoor vegetable and food cultivation. At the same time, he called on the population in the city to move to mountain bases or hidden air-raid shelters, store enough survival supplies, and make plans to survive in the shelters for a long time.
In addition, in order to prevent the impact of plague and other hidden dangers caused by heavy rain and earthquakes, items and environments from the city need to be disinfected, and personnel can only officially move into the base after being isolated and having their body temperature measured.
There is also volcanic ash and acid rain in the air, which can affect the respiratory tract and exposed skin, so you need to wear a mask and take protective measures to avoid other hidden dangers.
After everything was arranged, although there were still some obstacles, everything was progressing steadily.
It was not until he met Luo Qin that Gu Cheng asked about his doubts.
"General Luo, who was that woman that day? Why was she willing to save us?"
There was a hint of confusion in his eyes.
"She even gave us a batch of seeds?"
Luo Qin sighed, "Perhaps, she is just someone who wants to preserve some spark of humanity and strive to maintain survival in the apocalypse."
He looked outside the dark base.
"Gu Cheng, do you believe in the end of the world?"
The strange acid rain was so fine and dense that the land began to acidify. Plants began to wither and die, or turn into twisted and weird shapes, as if there were some living things inside.
Even the animals that survived began to hide in caves or ruined buildings. They became more ferocious and weirder, and even grew some strange parts.
“I didn’t believe it before, but now…”
Gu Cheng spoke with some difficulty, "First, there were global torrential rains, typhoons and tsunamis more powerful than in previous years, and recently, frequent earthquakes, and unprecedented volcanic eruptions. The volcanic ash that erupted blocked out the sun, causing severe environmental impacts."
Luo Qin sighed. "That's right. According to the test results brought by the coastal investigation team, something seems to have happened in the deep ocean. Radiation and pollution levels are constantly increasing, even worse than the nuclear sewage and wastewater incidents previously discharged by neighboring countries."
"It is undeniable that for all of humanity, our end has arrived."
