Chapter 78: Tide of Corpses
There are endless zombies, with no end in sight. Densely packed heads are crowded together, all walking in the same direction.
In addition to these ordinary zombies, there are also giant zombies, there are hundreds of them just visible to the naked eye!
The car didn't dare drive too close, and even backed up for a distance. Even so, more than a dozen zombies were attracted over.
But compared with this dense swarm of zombies, it is like the difference between a drop of water and the ocean.
The car quickly turned around and drove away, and quickly found a high and safe place to stop.
"What... is going on?" Bai Qi swallowed, still feeling frightened by the scene he had just witnessed.
This is too scary!
It was the first time he had seen such a large group of zombies!
And there are so many giant zombies!
There were only three giant zombies in the place where they went for their mission this time, and it took them half a month to deal with them.
These hundreds... no, even more than a few hundred, plus the endless ordinary zombies, how many people are needed to deal with them?
"The direction they're heading in... is the same as ours."
Liang Shaoqing's face looked very ugly.
Baiqi, who was standing by, hadn't reacted yet: "What do you mean? Are we on the way?"
Others in the car: "..."
Just follow your dog's head.
"This means that the zombie tide's target is the Oasis base." Ji Ruwen's voice was deep, with a subtle tremor in his tone. "And they are advancing with a purpose, which means..."
His voice was a little dry, and he was unable to express the guess.
But Liang Shaoqing spoke up to continue his words.
"This shows that intelligent individuals have evolved among the zombies. They already have a sense of command and teamwork."
That's why they are all moving in unison towards the oasis base.
Obviously, the oasis base has the largest number of people within a radius of hundreds of miles.
"We must notify the base as soon as possible!" Liang Shaoqing's face turned grim. "There are other bases!"
I don’t know whether only the Oasis base encountered the zombie tide or other bases also encountered it. If all of them encountered it, then we can take precautions in advance; if only the Oasis base was affected, other bases can also send people to help.
"But how can we get in touch? Communications are completely dead, and the various bases rely on the few remaining satellites. We don't have any equipment to get in touch!"
The others in the car said anxiously.
Short-distance communication relies on walkie-talkies, while long-distance communication relies on fixed satellite equipment.
Of course, they didn't have that in their actions.
The radio only receives information in one direction and has no way of notifying the base of their information.
The most anxious person in the car was probably Ji Ruwen, because he knew that Mibao was still waiting for him in the base!
If he had known earlier... he would not have allowed Mibao to come to the Oasis Base!
If the zombie tide really reached the Oasis base, how could Mibao, a child, survive?
Ji Ruwen was very panicked.
So... he couldn't panic. He had to find a way to notify the base and let Mibao evacuate quickly.
This is the only way.
Thinking of this, Ji Ruwen suddenly had an idea and quickly took out a map from his bag.
He seemed to vaguely remember that there was an abandoned signal station nearby.
Perhaps there is satellite equipment transmitting signals there.
“Found it!”
Ji Ruwen circled the location of the abandoned signal station on the map with a marker, his face full of excitement.
"We can go here and look for satellite equipment!"
The other people in the car gathered around immediately, and Liang Shaoqing took the map and looked at it.
"This place is about twenty kilometers away from us. We're still in time!" Liang Shaoqing was also a little excited, and then quickly handed the map to the team member driving, "Hurry, let's go here!"
The driving team member did not dare to delay. He responded and immediately started the car and headed there as fast as possible!
They are racing against time!
At the same time, Mibao and Chaolu had also arrived at the Oasis Base. Chaoyang and Yutao received the news and met them at the base entrance in advance.
The base's testing equipment has recently made new progress, so 24-hour isolation and observation are no longer necessary.
You just need to scan it with a machine and then disinfect your whole body.
"Brother Chaoyang, Uncle Yu!"
Mibao rushed towards Chaoyang and Yutao and hugged each of them.
Mibao missed them very much after not seeing them for half a month.
"Where's Sister Ye Duo?"
Mi Bao looked around but did not see Ye Duo.
"Ye Duo has class, and it's probably going to end in about an hour." Yu Tao said with a smile, "Do you want to go see her?"
Mibao nodded quickly: "Okay, I also brought her a gift, oh, and yours too."
As he spoke, Mibao began to take things out of the small bag he was carrying.
It is a small doll carved from wood, but it is rather crudely carved, just a wooden prototype, and you can barely make out the shapes of a cat and a lion.
Mibao handed the cat puppet to Yu Tao and the lion puppet to Chaoyang.
"Wow, could this be made by you, Mibao?" Yu Tao took the gift and looked at Mibao in surprise.
Mibao nodded proudly: "Yeah, I've been doing it for a long time!"
Because of this, she even acted like a spoiled brat to her mother for a long time because her mother was afraid that she would get hurt using the carving knife.
"Mibao is amazing!" Yu Tao praised.
This is a real compliment. Mibao is still so young, and it's great that he can make a puppet like this.
Chaoyang also looked at the little lion puppet in his hand with great interest, and was reluctant to put it away for a long time.
"But why was a lion given to Chaoyang, but a cat was given to me?" Yu Tao bent down slightly, leveling his eyes with Mibao, and asked curiously.
Mi Bao scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "It feels like... they are very similar. Uncle Yu is very elegant and gentle, just like a cat; Brother Chaoyang is very powerful."
She made a cute little rabbit for Ye Duo.
"I have one too~" Chaolu proudly took out her little wooden puppet from her bag. It was a wolf.
Chaoyang looked at Chaolu's puppet, a little confused: "Is yours a dog?"
He couldn't think of any similarities between morning dew and dogs.
Chaolu: “…”
Mibao: “…”
"It's a wolf." Chaolu was speechless. "Mibao thinks I'm so cool! What's with that look?"
Mibao was also a little hesitant: "Is it because I am too unlikeable?"
"No, it's my poor eyesight," Chaoyang said quickly. "I couldn't see clearly from a distance, and dogs and wolves are quite similar, so I made a mistake. Mibao, the puppet you made is really good!"
"That's right, Mibao, don't doubt yourself. It's all his fault. He's damaged his eyes from taking online classes every day." Chaolu chimed in.
Chaoyang: “…”
I seriously suspect that Chaolu has ulterior motives in what she said.
After chatting for a while, everyone got in the car and headed to the welfare home to pick up Ye Duo after class.
