Upon hearing this news, everyone present was invigorated.
Since the sandstorm, all radio signals have been affected, and they haven't received any messages from other bases for a long time.
"Where did the signal come from? Is there any specific information?" Ma Dongmei asked anxiously.
The presence of a signal means there are living people, and Lu Sheng and her group are not the only lone boat in the human world.
Su Zheng tried to calm his agitated emotions, took a deep breath and said, "The signal is coming from the South China Sea. They are also actively sending signals to search for survivors."
After getting a signal, the two sides shouted excitedly for a long time, frantically communicating over the radio, afraid that if the connection was lost this time, they would never be able to contact each other again.
"The other side was originally a border garrison in the South China Sea. After the apocalypse, they have been absorbing survivors and have become a large-scale base. We have already shared our approximate geographical location with them."
"They have aircraft carriers and cruisers, as well as some land tanks, and they will be arriving soon to join us."
Lu Sheng nodded, tacitly approving Su Zheng's decision.
She had her own reasons.
On the one hand, desertification control is a massive undertaking, and more labor is needed to complete the task as quickly as possible. On the other hand, these outsiders (often referred to as "Xiba" or "Baipi") are unreliable; once they've accumulated enough food, they might not continue hunting zombies.
Delay can lead to problems, and Lu Sheng needs a large number of people to improve work efficiency in the shortest possible time.
We need to obtain the zombie virus removal agent as soon as possible to have any hope of truly ending the apocalypse.
On the other hand, although these foreigners seem honest now, those who are not of our kind are bound to have different intentions. This group has been eyeing M City's supplies for a long time, and if they manage to gather enough men first, they might launch an attack on M City.
Lu Sheng needs to take precautions.
Over the next period, as the number of people hunting zombies continued to increase, the scattered new mutated zombies in the vicinity were almost all killed off. To hunt more zombies, they had to form groups and go to more remote places, but many people hesitated because of the harsh external environment.
The supply of zombie bone meal could not keep up, forcing a slowdown in the growth rate of desertification control plants.
In order not to affect the expected progress, Lu Sheng could only arrange for people to conduct small-scale hunting on the outskirts of the artificial forest.
She was initially hesitant about who to send, but Huang Jianbo unexpectedly volunteered.
"I'll go. You don't need to assign me any people. I'll go myself."
It had been a while since I'd seen Huang Jianbo. He was tanned and thinner, looking as if he'd aged more than ten years. His face was haggard and his beard was unshaven.
After returning to M City, he tried everything he could to beg Tong Ziqi for forgiveness. But Tong Ziqi, who had always been gentle and accommodating to him, was like a stubborn rock, refusing to budge no matter how much he pleaded.
Knowing she couldn't face Tong Ziqi, Gu Wenwen volunteered to ask Lu Sheng for help in Xu Yi's lab. She lived and ate in the lab, becoming completely invisible.
Zhao Mujia stared at him blankly, "Dude, are you crazy? Those new types of zombies are not pushovers. Two squads from Xiba next door were wiped out yesterday. If you go alone, aren't you just delivering takeout to them?"
"It's fine, it's better to die out there." Huang Jianbo smiled perfunctorily, took two magnetic cannons from the vending machine, and walked out.
Cheng Mofan hesitated, then said, "Bozi, it's fine if she doesn't forgive you. You did make a mistake, so just part ways amicably with Qiqi. Your erratic behavior is just putting pressure on her."
To put it nicely, it's self-reflection; to put it bluntly, it's morally blackmailing Tong Ziqi.
But Cheng Mofan and Li Kun couldn't stop Huang Jianbo at all. He insisted on taking a big yellow dog with him, and the two of them drove away from the safe zone.
As he walked further and further away, the bespectacled young man, who had never been in a relationship and was obsessed with romance, couldn't help but plead with Tong Ziqi on his behalf, "Sister Qiqi, Brother Bo knows he was wrong, please forgive him this once."
Tong Ziqi, who was helping to mix bone meal, stopped what she was doing when she heard this. "Once a traitor, always a traitor. Haven't you ever watched a historical drama?"
"But... his kindness to you isn't fake, is it? Can one mistake erase all the good he's done for you?" The bespectacled young man's clear eyes revealed his naivety.
Zhang Xiaojuan was cracking sunflower seeds when she suddenly threw a sunflower seed shell at the bespectacled young man, saying, "Xiao Meng, I have to talk to you about this."
"Your idea is dangerous. I don't even need to look at your birth chart to know that you will be deceived by women at least three more times in your life."
"No matter how much you like someone, you have to have a bottom line. He knew very well that Qiqi would break up with him once she found out, but he still did it with a gamble, which at least shows that he didn't care about the worst outcome at that moment."
"So all of this is the consequence he should bear."
Zhang Xiaojuan spoke eloquently, and the bespectacled young man listened intently, almost ready to take notes on the spot. "Brother, what you're saying is so profound, I need to slowly understand it."
"Brother, you're so mature. You must have had a lot of romantic experience, right?" Zhao Mujia, another woman who had never been in a relationship, said with admiration.
Zhang Xiaojuan almost choked on her water. "It's...it's alright. It's just a mere third rank. I'm not really interested in talking about it."
"Holy crap, three stages?!"
"Brother, how did you negotiate? Can you teach me?"
“I still blush when I talk to girls. Su Zheng is also a single woman. I can’t learn anything useful from them.”
"Brother, why don't you start a class? I'll listen on my knees."
Zhang Xiaojuan, flattered by the two, deliberately cleared her throat and said, "This depends entirely on one's understanding. Everyone's personality and experience are different, so there's no way to generalize. I've been a bit busy lately, but I'll give you a lesson when I have some free time."
