Chapter 304: Zombies Appear
"Taotao, Zhuang Aiyi? Gone!" Lu Weiyi shouted, and the sound echoed in the silent space.
"Coming..." Zhuang Aiyi responded, followed by the sound of trotting over.
After a while, Taotao and Zhuang Aiyi were seen running out from the shelves. Their two fair little faces were rosy and looked exceptionally healthy.
"He has indeed grown a lot taller, taller than Ai Yi," Zhuang Mingxu said in a low voice as he looked at Tao Tao's appearance, "It's not easy to find a knowledgeable gentleman nowadays. I'll keep an eye on him and let someone take a look at him later."
Lu Weiyi was surprised that he actually believed these things, and then he saw Zhuang Mingxu smiled and said, "If you believe it, it exists. If you don't believe it, it doesn't exist."
The two children ran up to him, and Zhuang Mingxu reminded them emphatically for a while not to tell anyone what happened here. He made sure that the two children understood before leaving the space.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone is free now, Lu Weiyi gathered everyone together to hold a small meeting.
The first thing to talk about is the issue of the banker.
Everyone in the team appreciated Lu Weiyi's kindness. In addition, Zhuang Mingxu had taken on all the responsibilities on his own recently when the other team members were unable to do anything, and his relationship with the team members had become much closer. Most people had no objections.
Lu Weiyi looked at Antonio.
"Don't let them hang around me," Antonio could only try his best to ensure.
Lu Weiyi nodded and finally looked at Li Zhuang.
Li Zhuang waved his hand to indicate that it was over.
"If they go, I will let them stay on another island and they will not have the chance to contact you." Lu Weiyi made a republican guarantee and then talked about the second thing.
"There are not many people with special abilities on our island. Nowadays, both zombies and mutated plants and animals are constantly upgrading and evolving. I plan to recruit some weapons research and development personnel to assist in the construction of the base with external forces."
"I recently received news that there is a pre-doomsday weapons research and development base in Cangnan City. Some time ago, there issued a call for help to the surrounding bases. I want to lead a team to bring them back to our base for resettlement," Lu Weiyi said, turning his head to glance at Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu took out the map you drew recently and spread it on the table, "The location of the base is here. The straight-line distance from our base is not particularly far, but it is closer to the Kyoto base."
"Given that the other party is sending out a large-scale request for help to surrounding bases, it is uncertain whether people in other bases will also receive the message."
"So we are faced with two choices next: return to the base and then set off for Cangnan, or go directly from Kyoto to Cangnan to rescue people and then return to the base."
"Didn't we go to a weapons research and development center before?" Xu Sa glanced at Lu Xi, wanting to see his opinion as a professional.
"There are differences between weapons. You can tell from the names that Pingjin City is called the Weapons Research and Development Center, and Cangnan is the Weapons Research and Development Base," Lu Xi reluctantly made an analogy, "It's probably the difference between an automatic rifle and a grenade or missile."
“Is this... so awesome?” Xu Sa was surprised.
"That's a weapons research institute affiliated to the state, it's famously called the 608 Institute, which specializes in developing all kinds of weapons. During the military parade, at least 60% of the weapons on display and deployed to various troops were developed there."
Lu Xi said childishly, "They invited me to work there last spring, but I refused."
"Wow, such a great place has invited our Xiaoxi. It seems that our Xiaoxi is really great." Gu Qingyue saw his little emotion and hurriedly stroked his fur.
"Of course, I'm no worse than them," Lu Xi said pertinently after showing off, "However, if they could come to our base, they could indeed contribute greatly to the research and development of weapons for our base."
"Even if the talented people are no longer there, the machinery and equipment there can be added to our base and will be a great asset, which is worth our trip," Lu Xi added.
Ning Yuan compared the map with the current situation and pointed at the group of people in the living room, "Is there too few people?"
"If you don't have strong abilities, even if you have a lot of people, you're just going to die," said Xu Sa.
"We have a limited number of people in our base. Even if we go back and make another trip, we can only take away one or two teams at most. We can't take out more." Ning Yuan considered the situation of the base, "But the situation we are facing now is, is it our base that was attacked?"
"No matter whether we can't go back immediately," Gu Qingyue frowned and sighed, "Although Captain Zheng doesn't seem to have any hostility towards us, he is still vigilant. It seems that he will not tell us the information channel until his health improves."
"Did you find anything over there?" Ning Yuan looked at Liu Yang.
Liu Yang shook his head and said, "We haven't received any information at all. I asked the communications soldiers under Major General Lu who are in charge of this area, and they said they haven't received any information since the rain."
Zhuang Mingxu considered everyone's opinions and finally made a decision, "Let's first see if the accident happened in our base. If it does, we will go back and take the remaining people with us even if we can't rescue them in time. If it is safe, we will go directly to Cangnan and try to get the people first before other forces in Kyoto take action."
…
With Lu Weiyi's open support, Zhuang Mingxu went back to the Zhuang family the next day and told them that they could go together.
but……
Xia Xiaorong and her mother and her two children were ruled out.
He was not a saint. He traveled thousands of miles back home. He was hit by the news that his mother had become a zombie and that he had a younger brother who was only a few years younger than him. Then he was thrown into the laboratory by his family.
A series of events followed, leaving Zhuang Mingxu with less and less affection for the Zhuang family.
Yueban Bay was established not long ago, and the base facilities are definitely not as good as Cangnan Base. After explaining a series of situations, Zhuang Mingxu let them make their own choice.
With Gu Qingyue's dedicated arrangements, Zheng Yi's body recovered very quickly. On the third day, his supernatural powers showed signs of recovery.
Zheng Yi readily told the only team the help channel intercepted by his men, but it was raining heavily and no information could be received, so it made no difference to everyone.
The heavy rain continued day and night, and ordinary people in the base could no longer hold on. There was no food stored at home, so everyone had to find ways to get food.
When survival is not guaranteed, the crime rate will naturally rise.
Lu Xiao was very busy in the following days. His subordinates kept investigating criminal problems in the areas assigned to him, and the wood-type mutants kept producing various edible things. He even borrowed two wood-type mutants from the only team.
Different locations at the base began distributing free food at fixed times to help people get through this period.
Just when everyone finally felt united, the base was attacked by zombies.
The incident happened late at night. When the entire base fell into sleep, a large number of zombies suddenly poured out of the artificial lake to the north of the base.
The guards' vigilance had already been lowered due to continuous rainfall, and a large number of zombies appeared at once, instantly spreading out and attacking the surrounding areas. By the time the news reached the villa area, it was already half an hour later.
Lu Xiao went to the scene as soon as possible and sent someone to notify Lu Weiyi and others, asking them to be ready to provide support at any time.
"How did the zombies get into the base lake?" Lu Weiyi searched for the one-piece waterproof suit in the space and asked Meng Huan who came to deliver the message. At the same time, he made arrangements within the team, "Liu Yang, Lin Mo, Zhou Nan, Lin Tian, Huang Rui, Qi Lin, stay in the villa to protect other members, and evacuate the Kyoto base at any time when necessary."
"Liu Rui and Gu Qingyue are responsible for protecting Dean and Xu Yi at the front and ensuring that the wounded receive treatment at any time. The rest of the people will go to the front line together."
Several people quickly put on their waterproof suits and followed Meng Huan out.
Xu Yi had never participated in one before, and his hands were shaking. Li Zhuang couldn't bear to watch it, and with a "tsk", he fastened his hat for him and casually reminded him, "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong with the treatment."
Xu Yi didn't respond, but stumbled to keep up with Li Zhuang's steps, following him closely, as if he was worried about other people.
Meng Huan drove the car for a while before the car was forced to stop.
The people attacked by the zombies kept trying to get away from the area around the lake and fled to other places, which blocked the traffic and caused congestion. The psychics who went to support were unable to move forward and were instead pushed back by the crowd.
The car stopped where it was and couldn't move forward at all. In the dark night, only sporadic flashlights could be seen flashing by. More people were walking forward in the darkness. The roars of men, the shouts of women, and the cries of children were like a hell on earth.
"If this goes on, there will be a stampede sooner or later. What should we do?" Gu Qingyue pressed his whole face against the car window and looked out in the residual light of the car lights.
Just as he finished speaking, a bloody hand pressed on the car window from below, shocking Gu Qingyue so much that he fell backwards. Gu Qingji beside him hugged him and looked out of the window with cold eyes, and saw a crying face slowly floating up.
It was a profile of a woman with loose hair and a child in her arms. She was pushed by the constantly crowded crowd and couldn't keep up. She fell to the ground and climbed up with difficulty by holding the car window.
"Pa pa" she slapped the car window twice, "Please, save the child, save my child."
Gu Qingyue frowned and turned to look at the other members of the team.
"Don't open it," Li Zhuang said, "I can't save it."
Once one person starts, more people will keep coming up, just like when they were at the Yongping City safe base in the early days of the apocalypse, and Xi tried to send out some food but was surrounded by more people.
If you can't save the public, don't do anything.
Gu Qingyue sighed, closed his eyes and looked away.
There was a constant stream of people outside the car, and the anti-peeping film made it impossible to see whether there was anyone inside. The woman knocked a few times but got no response, so she had to continue to squeeze out with the crowd.
When Gu Qingyue turned around, he saw him stumbling, and after a few steps he fell down and was stepped on by someone.
"She..." Gu Qingyue's anxious voice just came out.
Then I heard a series of gunshots nearby.
The voice of a loud speaker resounded throughout the surrounding area, "Everyone stand in place and line up to be inspected. No crowding is allowed. Those who disobey will be shot immediately."
