Chapter 114
When the thirty or so people finally calmed down, the roar of a helicopter was heard above their heads.
It was Lin Luo who informed Yao Haichao that he should go down the mountain. There was a communicator between the two of them, and this was the first time it was used.
The plane slowly stopped, and when Yao Haichao got off, he saw more than 30 survivors who were pale, thin, and ragged. There was no light in the eyes of most of them, just like the oppressed lower classes in the old society, who were still alive but could not see any hope.
Just, just living.
There was not a single old person or child, and even women were very few, less than five.
Reality is so cruel. People with weaker physiques always die the fastest. Fortunately, after awakening their special abilities, they can make up for the difference in physique to the greatest extent.
Not to mention Lin Luo, even in the rankings of the major bases, at least half of the top psychics are women.
"Ms. Lin."
Yao Haichao felt very uncomfortable when he saw his compatriots in this state, but Lin Luo had not just said how to arrange these people, so he could not help but look at her.
A helicopter certainly can't accommodate it.
It's even more impossible to leave them here.
Lin Luo had no choice but to repeat what he had just said. Then, with a thought, all the food and water in the helicopter "flew" out and landed in front of the group of people.
"Fill your stomach first. Someone will be here by tomorrow noon at the latest."
If the base is willing to travel overnight, they can arrive here as early as early morning, but Lin Luo won't make this guarantee.
What's next? There's nothing much to say. The sooner Lin Luo leaves, the sooner the base will get the news. She gave Yao Haichao a look, and the two were about to board the plane.
Lin Luo suddenly remembered, "Oh, right, I've shielded this village with my spiritual power, so people can only leave but not enter."
Even if everything is cleaned up thoroughly, we still have to be prepared for the worst, otherwise it would be more cruel to save someone halfway.
Lin Luo couldn't do such a thing as giving someone hope and then falling into despair.
Afraid of these? People don’t understand what Lin Luo’s mental shield represents, Yao Haichao quickly added.
"Miss Lin's mental shield is very powerful. Even tens of thousands of zombies can't break it. You just wait in there peacefully. Shall we go back now and find someone?"
Lin Luo's mysterious power just now really left a deep impression on everyone. Everyone watched the plane fly away, and soon the place became completely quiet.
Only then did they turn their attention to the food in front of them. The food here was enough to feed about a dozen people. Lin Luo and Yao Haichao brought foods that were easy to fill up and high in calories.
But for these more than 30 people, it was very difficult.
Gulong——
Someone swallowed their saliva. Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar dried meat, chocolate, the base's special compressed biscuits and self-heating meals, they couldn't control their instinctive reaction at all.
Four years! A full four years!
They barely survived by relying on those unpalatable mutant beasts and could hardly remember what delicious food tasted like.
"Brother Chao, can these? Can I..." eat them?
There was naked desire in everyone's eyes, but no one dared to take the initiative to grab it.
A small group must have a boss. This person named "Brother Chao" is obviously the decision maker among them, and he has great prestige.
He was also the first person to come to his senses and ask Lin Luo a question.
“Put away half and eat half.”
Brother Chao made a decision quickly.
The food was originally not enough for 30 people, and now it has to be reduced by half. I guess everyone can only taste it and barely have a basic meal.
Brother Chao would do that? It’s actually normal to do so. Lin Luo really has no need to lie to them.
But what if something unexpected happens? What if the people at the base can't get there in time?
After all, no one knows what's going on at the base.
Indeed, Lin Luo and Yao Haichao seem to be living a good life. However, before the apocalypse, people were divided into rich and poor. Will it be even more serious after the apocalypse?
Before everything is truly foolproof, Brother Chao must first make another preparation.
The team has been able to survive until now, and it has to be said that Brother Chao played a crucial role, and it is no wonder that everyone trusts him so much.
Half of the food was taken out, and each person was first given half a piece of jerky and a piece of chocolate. Four self-heating rice pots also began to sizzle and emit an enticing aroma.
ah--
It is the aroma of rice and meat dishes.
The taste of the meat on the tip of the tongue was so delicious that it made you want to swallow it. However, no one dared to chew it hard, for fear that it would be gone if you ate it too quickly.
Then the fragrant rice made many people shed tears of excitement.
They may not have been rich before the end of the world, but at least they could have three meals a day, and rice was never a precious thing to them.
But now, it is no exaggeration to say that they can finish at least two large bowls of rice without any side dishes!
"Woo woo, delicious, really delicious."
A man who hadn't cried even when injured by a mutant beast couldn't hold back any longer, "Am I really not dreaming?"
"Even if it's just a dream, it's worth it!"
After swallowing the last bite of food, everyone sat in a circle, and the fire-type mutant was responsible for making a fire.
There are many wooden benches and chairs in this village, and there is no shortage of fuel. The water-based mutants are responsible for producing water, so Lin Luo's bottles can be kept for now.
At this time, the sky was gradually darkening. Looking at the flickering flames, the emotion brought by the food gradually faded away. Everyone fell silent, not knowing what to say.
It all happened so fast, and when I calmed down, the feeling of unreality became even stronger.
"That braised pork was delicious! My mom is the best at this dish!"
Finally, the first voice was heard, and then the discussion gradually became more frequent.
"I used to hate eating fatty meat. I would throw it away the moment I saw it. Now I really want to slap the guy who wastes food to death."
"Haha, who isn't? I was trying to lose weight back then, and I only ate a few mouthfuls of boiled vegetables a day."
"When we get to the base, I'll make some braised pork for you guys. I'm not bad at this either."
Only after losing something will you cherish it more.
The food that I used to disdain has now become a source of happiness. Just taking a simple bite of it is enough to satisfy me.
"Will they really come to pick us up?"
At this moment, an inopportune voice suddenly emerged, "We have no power or influence. Going to the base will require more food to feed us."
If it was before the end of the world, more than 30 lives would naturally be very precious, and you would know without thinking that the country would come to rescue them.
But, it’s the end of the world now!
All of them have experienced situations where they have to fight for their lives for a bite to eat. At such times, human life is really not as valuable as food.
Besides, it would be a considerable expense for the base to send people to pick them up. If you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem cost-effective.
"Daqiang! What are you talking about!"
We all know that this partner has pessimistic thoughts from time to time, but at this time, what's wrong with believing him once?
"I don't know! Xiaohua is dead! Brother Lu is dead! Dead! All dead! Four years, not four hours, not four days, but four whole years!"
"No one came to save us! I watched them leave one by one. I really don't know what we did wrong! Why did we encounter such a thing! I, I!"
"If the country hasn't given up on us, why didn't you come earlier? Why?!"
Daqiang uttered the last sentence in an almost collapsed tone. His hysterical look with his head in his hands made it impossible for anyone present to think of blaming him.
In fact, who isn't?
They were just ordinary people before the apocalypse. Not to mention killing zombies and people, they might not even have killed a chicken. Even if the instinct to survive prevailed when faced with sudden changes, it did not mean that everyone had truly adapted to this kind of life.
Now that someone has suddenly given us hope, there will indeed be a moment of indescribable disappointment in our hearts.
"I believe her."
Brother Chao suddenly spoke, and his weight was naturally different. When he spoke, Daqiang also stopped what he was doing, and looked at Brother Chao with red eyes, "Brother Chao."
Brother Chao didn't shy away from Daqiang, "She wouldn't bother to lie to us."
Yes, Lin Luo had no intention of hiding it. Brother Chao could feel that she didn't regard saving people like her as a big deal.
It's like just picking up a fallen chair on the side of the road. Do you need to pay special attention to it?
Absolutely not necessary.
If he wasn't 100% sure, he wouldn't behave like this.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Lin Luo is a person with particularly good acting skills, which led him to make the mistake, but this goes back to the starting point. Is there anything about them that is worth deceiving?
Brother Chao's words made the atmosphere stagnant again.
At this time, it was completely dark outside. No one chose to go to bed because they couldn't fall asleep at all. They just stared at the fire.
It seems to be waiting for a result, a hope.
I don't know? After a while, Brother Chao suddenly stood up and said, "Someone is coming!"
He was the one with the highest level of supernatural power here. This shout immediately put everyone on alert, and they had weapons in their hands without knowing when.
It seems that even if he is in a daze, the instincts he has acquired over the past four years will not be lost.
"We are Team 3217 from the Central China Base. Are there any survivors? Are they asleep?"
The distant sound was clearly transmitted to everyone's ears through the loudspeaker.
clang——
I don’t know? Whose weapon fell to the ground, and under the flames, there was a light flickering deep in everyone’s eyes.
As Lin Luo said, this barrier can only be exited but not entered.
The leader of the Central China Base team smiled kindly at the survivors who emerged and said, "Ms. Lin's strength is truly remarkable."
"I think you guys probably won't be able to sleep either, so why don't we just go back overnight and get a good rest for the day back at the base? Oh, and by the way, we only brought four cars this time, so you guys have to squeeze in. Sorry."
"No, nothing."
Really! They're really here to pick them up! The light in the survivors' eyes lit up again, sparkling and dazzling.
"Ms. Lin, who is she?"
Along the way, after being briefed on numerous details about the base, Chao couldn't help but ask: Is such a powerful individual the base's trump card? Or are all the other powerful individuals in the base like him?
"Her." One of the team members who was not very focused on driving thought for a second. The roads were very dark at night, and the car lights were particularly bright, which was most likely to attract zombies and messy mutated plants.
They never dared to come out at night before, as that would be suicide.
But now, when driving on this spacious road, we still need to be vigilant, but we don’t have to worry so much about our life safety.
All these changes happened because of one person.
"Yes, the savior."
This is the driver's truest thought.
Miss Lin, she must be a fairy sent by God to save them!
Of course, Lin Luo didn't know that she had gained dozens of "fans" with just one casual action. In her opinion, it was indeed a very ordinary thing.
However, Brother Chao and the others were like a trigger. After Lin Luo and Yao Haichao went out, the probability of finding survivors also increased.
When there are many people, there are about a hundred people at a time, and when there are few, there are still a dozen people.
Apart from "perverts" like Lin Luo, it would be too difficult to survive on your own in the end times.
Faced with these people, Lin Luo handled them in the same way as before, giving them food and notifying the nearest base to pick them up.
Of course, not every survivor is so grateful and believes Lin Luo's words. The two have encountered people who want to ambush them and steal helicopters and food more than once. Who knows whether the people Lin Luo said would come soon are real? Of course, they will not feel at ease until they get what they want.
Lin Luo’s answer to this is to let these people no longer have to worry about food and drink and sleep here forever.
Otherwise, it would be a nuisance if brought to the base. We can't let a single rat dropping spoil the whole bunch.
With such a busy job, the days go by quickly.
Lin Luo had just arrived at the South China base when he got the news that Xiaoyue was about to give birth. She was said to have been in the delivery room for almost five or six hours. Hong Hu was waiting at the door so long that he almost pulled his hair out!
