Chapter 089 Zombie Apocalypse 27
Xie Yunsui's idea failed.
Ji Tianyuan came back with good news, but he planned to settle down in an apartment building in the central district.
Xie Yunsui heard the news:?
Xie Yunsui was puzzled: "It's fine if you stay here, but why do they stay here too?"
Ji Tianyuan grinned: "Because it's safe for you."
There are no alien plants in this area of the central district, so it's just wide enough for people to move around. There's also a natural protective shield outside, so not just anyone can pass through. Living in it makes you feel completely safe.
The East District base suffered such a disaster, and those who were able to escape had nothing to worry about. Now that they were out, there was no need to go back.
Life is everywhere.
"We found quite a bit of food at the supermarket, including dozens of large bags of biscuits. Each bag contained ten regular-sized packets, enough for a full meal." Ji Tianyuan recounted his two-day finds with a smile. "We also found a few charcoal stoves and two boxes of charcoal for cooking. We have a pot in the apartment. We also found some compressed biscuits and a few scattered boxes of instant noodles. They're not in good shape, but the packaging isn't broken, so they're still edible."
Xie Yunsui knew what would be in it. He had put all of this in there overnight. Those biscuits were the ones that Xiaoxi disliked and found unpalatable.
He found that since coming into this world, he had few good nights of sleep and was often active at night.
As he spoke, Ji Tianyuan thought of something: "Oh, by the way, yesterday near the supermarket, someone in the team didn't wear their mask properly and got caught in a Venus flytrap. They weren't seriously injured. When the trap bit them, they chopped the Venus flytrap apart with fire axes or something..."
"I don't know if I'm just being overly suspicious. When I used my supernatural powers to attack the Venus flytrap before, it wasn't that easy to kill it."
The skin of those alien plants has always been hard and thick, and the supernatural powers could not leave any marks on them. Even if he used the fire generated by his supernatural powers to burn them wildly, the Venus flytrap would at most turn black, and it would still eat people as usual.
But tell him now that it can be solved with just a fire axe?
Ji Tianyuan's defense was slightly broken.
Xie Yunsui was surprised: "Really?"
I haven't thought about this problem. He has always used a sword to deal with the Venus flytrap. There is a sharp formation on the sword, which makes it easy to chop. Could it be that the buff is fully stacked?
Ji Tianyuan had no choice but to study it further on his own. He still had some crystal cores in his gourd, so he bought a can of chili sauce to change the taste.
I can never collect enough crystal cores. When can I eat the finished boiled fish?
"Everyone's injuries are almost healed. I want to organize a group to go outside and clean up the zombies in the next two days."
Since saving money was not possible, Ji Tianyuan decided to increase revenue.
-
"Captain Xiang, it seems that everyone who has come to our base these days is from the East District."
Xiao Xingjin pushed open the door to the vegetable garden and said directly, "There have been dozens of people coming and going. Something must have happened in the East District."
Xiang Ziming asked: "Didn't they mention it?"
Xiao Xingjin spread his hands: "Normally there are always survivors coming to seek refuge. I can't always ask everyone. The people in the reception area have been slacking off recently and don't ask where the survivors are from. If I hadn't checked, I wouldn't have discovered this problem."
Xiao Xingjin felt like a super nanny. As long as he wanted to worry, he would have endless worries.
Xiang Ziming smiled cheerfully: "Thank you for your hard work, I'll go ask again."
Xiao Xingjin rolled his eyes at him and changed the subject: "I've noticed these past few days that the alien plants in the central area haven't expanded their territory and are quite well behaved. I feel like this is the calm before the storm, so I plan to take this opportunity to organize two teams of psychics to clean them up."
"Okay, it's up to you."
"I'll put you in the queue. This is a notification, not an inquiry."
“…”
Xiang Ziming gave him a sad look.
Xiao Xingjin looked up at the sky: "Who told the superpowers in our base to follow you? None of them like to go out. You have to take the lead."
Xiang Ziming sighed: "Okay."
"I'm not saying anything, but many of the psychics in the base are already at level three. When will you get the next level?"
"I've been practicing very hard."
"What's the point of working hard? I think you should just grow vegetables every day. You should practice a little and start cracking crystal cores!"
"I keep knocking and knocking, but I can't reach the fourth level. There's nothing I can do."
Xiang Ziming looked like he had given up, but Xiao Xingjin couldn't empathize with him. He was not a psychic and didn't know how much effort it took to level up. He thought that everyone had reached level three, and if Xiang Ziming continued to stagnate, there might be a big mess.
In the past, everyone respected you because you were so capable, but now everyone is equally capable, so why should they still respect you?
Or in the future, if everyone is better than you, what makes you think you can still be the boss?
Xiao Xingjin knew that he was eager to give up the title of leader and concentrate on being a vegetable farmer, but for the sake of the 50,000 people in the base, he had to persevere.
At this time, if there are still people scheming for this little bit of power, even if they come to power, it may not be good for everyone.
Just look at the North District, it’s a mess right now.
The North District Base is in the midst of considerable civil unrest.
Zou Yao and his team disappeared in the central area for nearly ten days. During these ten days, no one knew whether they were alive or dead. Two forces in the base took advantage of the situation to develop.
Even if Zou Yao returned, he would no longer be able to have absolute control over the base as usual.
"Boss, I heard something happened in the East District, and many survivors have come to our base." Someone came to report.
Zou Yao, however, didn't seem to be interested in listening. "Don't bother me with anything. Just come and follow the base rules."
He was more concerned about how many people the two forces had under their command.
The reporter hesitated to speak.
West District.
Liang Hongyu was also listening to the report.
"The zombie clearing team developed a new community this past week and lost six people, two of whom were superpowered. The good news is that there are a lot of supplies in this new community."
"The rate at which the central zone's alien plants are invading the base has slowed down, and they're barely moving. However, the team responsible for the cleanup said they seem to have gotten stronger. Psychics often have to work together, exhausting their powers to eliminate a single one. This thing is like an iron wall, resistant to all kinds of psychics."
"The day before yesterday, someone from the search team brought back the zombie virus. It infected three people last night, but it's been resolved."
"According to statistics, everyone's winter supplies are almost enough to get through this winter, and if we save on food, it's enough..."
"Recently, two-thirds of the base's espers have been upgraded to level three, and the rest are at level two."
Liang Hongyu held a handful of crystal cores in his hand and said calmly, "I heard that the two bases next door have recently taken in a lot of survivors?"
"Uh, well, we're still investigating."
"Well, the East District is a little far from us, but don't forget to check it out."
After the reporter left, Liang Hongyu looked at the crystal core in his hand that had absorbed all the energy and was scrapped. He felt the energy in his body, and his eyes were dark.
Why? I'm trying so hard to absorb energy, but I still can't level up?
-
In a convenience store.
Lu Xizhou was hiding behind the cashier counter, reading a comic book with great interest.
There have been no recent injuries, so he no longer has to sit outside for treatment.
Because Xie Yunsui said it was too lonely to be alone, he placed a soft armchair behind the cash register, and Lu Xizhou stayed there to accompany him during the day.
When seeing the tense part, Lu Xizhou would ask about the plot: "Did the five-member team go their separate ways?"
"Did Xiaomei fall off the cliff and die?"
"Is the dragon's treasure fake?"
Xie Yunsui answered them one by one: "No, no, no."
He could only give such a simple answer. If he gave any more spoilers, Lu Xizhou would lose his sense of immersion.
He mixed a glass of sunset flower sparkling drink and brought it to the recliner with some grilled skewers. Youyou was holding up a small wooden board pretending to be a coffee table.
Then he took out the latest map of City C, which was a detailed version that Little Bee had drawn yesterday.
The center is still their area, and outside is a dense circle of alien plants, followed by four major base circles. The outermost circle is zombies, and outside the zombie circle is the suburbs.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, everyone wanted to run to the suburbs or the countryside. After all, there were fewer people there and they were rich in fields and water. As a result, the population in the middle and outer circles gathered near the suburbs, while the people in the inner circle ran out, but did not run in time, and eventually became part of the four major bases, or became zombies.
Xie Yunsui circled several roads with a pen.
The four major bases are not connected to each other. There is a distance between each base, which takes about two hours to drive, and there is a no-man's land in the middle.
There are not many zombies in the no-man's land. Most of them are trapped in the buildings, and those wandering on the streets have been cleared out long ago.
Here, whether it is to spread the alien plants or bring in the zombies, it can be done without affecting the base and can further deal with the zombies.
Thinking of the scenes I saw in Han Xiu and others' life experiences...
"Thank you, boss!"
Ji Tianyuan drove the car to the door of the store, rolled down the window and called out, "Is Lu Xizhou here?"
Lu Xizhou raised his head while sipping the sparkling drink.
Ji Tianyuan also saw him: "Great!"
He got out of the car, and at the same time a group of people swarmed out of his car.
Xie Yunsui made a rough estimate and thought that the people from the two cars that went out today seemed to be here. He looked back and saw that there was another car behind them.
After these people came down, they stood aside. Ji Tianyuan entered the store and began to explain.
It turned out that they were out clearing zombies today. There were ten of them in two cars. They chose a residential building and cleared each floor with five people.
Everything was going smoothly. Everyone had experience and wanted to earn more crystal cores to exchange for more abundant ingredients, so they worked very hard.
But just when they finished their morning work and were preparing to eat, Zhao Dong was captured by zombies.
Although everyone was dressed warmly, with joints and exposed skin wrapped in cloth strips, there were bound to be such accidents when clearing out zombies.
The zombie's sharp claws grabbed the collarbone from the jaw, the cloth was torn into pieces, the wound was exposed, and blood gradually seeped out.
It's not deep, but there's blood.
Everyone knew that he was going to mutate and they couldn't bear it for a while. But Zhao Dong knew that he was not going to survive, so he generously asked them to wait until he turned into a zombie and then took away the crystal core from his body.
He said, "Don't despise this one, if you save one more you can buy a bottle of water."
He chuckled, but no one was in the mood to joke.
People are always like this. They are decisive in taking action against zombies who are strangers to them, but they feel sorry for those they know.
Ji Tianyuan ignored his request and took the rest of the people away. He finished his lunch in the car and went to another place to continue clearing the zombies.
Everyone was in a heavy mood while working in the afternoon, and everyone checked their protective gear repeatedly. Fortunately, no other accidents occurred.
Just as they were about to return to the central area, Zhao Dong ran all the way over to join them...
Ji Tianyuan looked strange: "We saw him being captured with our own eyes, but he didn't turn into a zombie."
The car behind rolled down its window just in time, and a man with a long scar from his chin to his collarbone looked over, his face showing an indescribable helplessness.
"I, I shouldn't have mutated?"
A zombie wouldn't drive while covering its wound, right?
