Chapter 144 Raising Little Zombies in the End of the World 28 Dawn Base
Lu Zai'an leaned his head on his father's shoulder, holding a small vine seedling in his hand. His little face was a little pale, and it was obvious that he was exhausted.
Shen Qian walked over with a feeling of heartache, squatted beside his son, and put his coat on him.
Then he went to look at Lu Weiyuan, who was obviously exhausted as well.
That's right, she had just discovered that there were traces of him using psychic powers in the vine tent area. He had used a lot of powers today and was probably exhausted.
Although Shen Qian was also very tired, she couldn't just ignore him. She found a thin blanket to cover him. Just as she was about to leave, Lu Weiyuan grabbed her wrist: "Qian Qian..."
Shen Qian looked back at him. He was not awake, his brows were furrowed, his breathing was a little rapid, but he seemed to be still in a deep sleep.
Shen Qian grasped his wrist and found that his pulse was a little too fast, so he injected some purification energy into his body.
His breathing gradually slowed down, and he regained his composure, but he murmured again: "Don't go..."
Chen Qian was stunned for a while, and then he felt tired and didn't want to make any more trouble, so he simply sat down, leaned against the vine and closed his eyes to rest.
In her dream, Chen Qian seemed to have returned to the past. A breeze blew on her face, and she seemed to be lying on the bed. The wind brought the fragrance from outside the window. It was the orchid that she and Zhou Shengmo had worked so hard to plant.
Such a subtle fragrance should be from his favorite Xishu Daoguang orchid. At that time, Zhou Shengmo always liked to compare this orchid to her, and they also liked to sit in the yard to appreciate the orchids.
Chen Qian never thought about that quiet and peaceful time again after she left that world. It had already passed and there was no point in thinking about it too much. Unexpectedly, after so much time had passed, she actually dreamed about it again.
In the darkness, the man next to her opened his eyes, turned around and saw the person lying beside him. For a moment, he felt like he was still in a dream.
He looked at her for a long time, unwilling to take his eyes away. After chasing her to many worlds, this was the first time she took the initiative to approach him.
Lu Weiyuan lowered his head, and just when his lips were about to land on her forehead, he stopped.
He carefully pulled up the thin blanket on his body and covered her with it, then gently rested her head on his shoulder.
After doing all this, Lu Weiyuan heard a very small "chi" sound next to him. He didn't look back, knowing that a little zombie had woken up and was watching the fun.
"Continue sleeping." Lu Weiyuan gave the order.
The little zombie obediently closed one eye, while the other eye was still rolling around curiously, wanting to see if his father would do anything else. Unfortunately, his father glanced at him with a warning look, so Lu Zai'an had to close both eyes.
So the family of three continued to sleep leaning against the vine tent until dawn.
This rescue was quite lucky. After Shen Qian woke up the next day, he immediately went to check on the seriously injured people and found that their wounds were healing. Although they were all seriously injured, there was no sign of infection and mutation into zombies.
Chen Qian went to the village entrance to check the pulses of the remaining people, and gave remedial treatment to those who had not been properly treated.
After the treatment, he asked Wen Jie and He Ruize about how they were taken away after being seriously injured by the mutant beast tide.
"We don't know anything else. We only know that the words 'Zero Point' were found in the car that took us. I don't know if you, Shen Qian, have heard of the Zero Point Research Institute. I guess it was this institute that sent people to take us away. As for where they took us and what they were going to do, I don't know." Wen Jie said.
He Ruize gritted his teeth when he mentioned this matter: "What other purpose could it have? Of course it's an ulterior motive. If that brother hadn't saved us, I'm afraid we would have become experimental subjects now."
Wen Jie was more rational and added, "Of course, these are just our guesses. The exact truth is unknown. I guess the people who escorted us didn't know what they were sending us to do."
Shen Qian didn't expect that the Zero Point Institute would make new moves so soon. All the wounded were people with special abilities, and they were all injured by mutant animals. Perhaps Zero Point didn't find Lu Weiyuan or similar zombies with special abilities, so it had to settle for the second best and use infected people with special abilities instead.
Even the Zero Point logo wasn't completely erased from the interior of the truck used for the kidnapping, which shows that the institute is brazen and fearless.
Shen Qian's heart was shrouded in gloom.
Wen Jie asked, "Chen Qian, how long will it take for our group of people to recover from their injuries?"
Shen Qian thought for a moment and said, "Those of you with minor injuries can leave today. Just to be on the safe side, bring some pure vines back for yourselves to eat, and you'll be fine. Those with moderate injuries can leave in a week, and those who are in isolation for treatment may need a month."
Wen Jie had already discussed the next steps with the few of them who were slightly injured last night. He happened to talk to Shen Qian about his ideas now: "We will divide the lightly and moderately injured into two groups and leave. The first group will leave in a week, and the second group will stay to wait for the seriously injured. What do you think?"
Shen Qian had no objection: "It's up to you to decide."
"Also, there is something I need to discuss with you. We who are slightly injured are staying here mainly to rebuild this place for you. I see that some farmhouses need to be repaired, and many fields that you don't use also need to be taken care of. We are all superpowered people, and we also want to do something for you. Shen Qian, do you think we can do these?"
In fact, Shen Qian felt that there was no need for it. After all, she and her son were the only ones living here. However, Wen Jie and He Ruize insisted again and again, so Shen Qian did not stop them.
…
Zhuo Lin never gave up searching after his team members went missing. After five members of the Shuguang Action Team went missing, he received reports from many action teams one after another, all claiming that there were wounded and missing members in their teams.
Although the mutant beast tide is powerful, these animals only attack humans and will not eat them.
In other words, the worst case scenario for the wounded is that they will mutate into zombies, and they will not disappear out of thin air.
There were signs of all this, but Zhuo Lin had always been hoping for luck. Even if he heard some rumors, he always felt that as long as he could please those high-level psychics from the military, he could at least save the members of the Dawn Action Team at the critical moment.
Unexpectedly, the thing he least wanted to see happened. In this cannibalistic apocalypse, there was no real shelter at all. If he didn't stand up to protect the people he wanted to protect, then everything he cherished would eventually be swallowed up.
What surprised him during this process was that he was not the only one who persisted, but also Lin Wan.
She is also actively seeking information and looking for solutions.
At this time, the two of them thought of the same thing again.
Lin Wan found him and said, "Last time someone broke into the resettlement site to cause trouble for Shen Qian, I felt something was wrong. This time they simply took the wounded away from the locations of the various action teams. This group of people are simply unscrupulous regardless of their identities. I think the current survival base and resettlement site in S City are not safe. What do you think? Are you still going to be someone else's thug?"
These words hurt his heart. Zhuo Lin's face turned pale and he looked at Lin Wan: "Do you have any good ideas?"
"If you still want the remaining members of the Dawn Operation Team to be safe, you must strictly screen the list and establish your own base. We have the manpower and equipment. As long as we have enough supplies, we can continue to operate. Once stability is achieved, we can also absorb personnel from other operation teams."
Lin Wan expressed Zhuo Lin's thoughts. Yes, only by establishing their own base can the team members be truly protected, and he also has a more important idea.
"It's fine to build your own base, but I hope to be able to absorb the infected, just like the previous resettlement center. As long as they are still conscious and can be saved, they cannot be expelled. Can you agree to this?"
Lin Wan's eyes flickered slightly. Only at this moment did she finally feel that the man in front of her was indeed the one she had fallen in love with at the beginning. The two of them finally reached a consensus.
"I agree. I think so too."
Zhuo Lin: "Then, welcome to become a member of the brand new Dawn Base."
A week later, when Wen Jie returned to S City with the first group of recovered wounded, he was surprised to find that although this place had just suffered heavy damage from a tide of mutant beasts, a new base had now been built on the outskirts of the city.
And the name of this base is actually Dawn Base.
As soon as Wen Jie saw the name, he hurried over to report. Unexpectedly, the person in charge here was not Zhuo Lin, but Lin Wan.
Zhuo Lin's greatest strength was organizing his team for battle, but building a base required strong coordination and communication skills, so he delegated this task to Lin Wan. The members of the Dawn Action Team who had survived the beast tide, as well as members of several other teams, had all been successfully relocated to the base after review and were now busy with its construction and the procurement of supplies.
He Ruibei, who had been living in the resettlement site to recuperate, was also taken in by Zhuo Lin. He originally didn't want to leave because his brother disappeared after the beast tide, and he refused to believe that his brother had died in the accident. He wanted to see the body either alive or dead, so he wanted to stay at the resettlement site and wait for him.
He Ruibei was supported by the pure vine left by Shen Qian, but he could not hold on for too long. He had already prepared himself to die, but Zhuo Lin forced him to come to the Dawn Base.
As soon as I arrived, I heard good news: Wen Jie, who had disappeared with his brother, is back!
Everyone was overjoyed to see Wen Jie bringing the wounded back.
"Oh my God, you're still alive! Everyone thought you were..."
"Bah, bah, glad you're back! Where have you been all this time? It's so hard for us to find you!"
"Wait... Wen Jie, weren't you scratched by a mutant bird or beast before? How come you didn't mutate? Are you completely healed?"
There were 20 people in this group who returned. As soon as they arrived at the base, they were surrounded by a crowd of people. Everyone was very curious.
"We are fine. Shen Qian and her friends saved us. Her medical skills are quite impressive. There are still a group of wounded people behind us. I guess..." Before he finished speaking, He Ruibei came over with the help of others and asked anxiously: "Wen Jie, where is my brother? You are still alive, but he... is he still here?"
Wen Jie said quickly, "Yes, yes, he's alive. In addition to sending this batch of wounded out, I also have a mission to send you over. It was Chen Qian who asked me to do that. She has cultivated a lot of herbs recently, and you should receive a new round of treatment."
