Chapter 093 Zombie Apocalypse 31
Xiang Ziming's vegetable garden was opened again. He installed plastic film for protection, making it look like a small greenhouse.
Xiao Xingjin stepped in: "Boss Xie from the Central District sent someone to deliver a message to us - put the kettle down first."
Xiang Ziming heard the tone and knew that what he was going to say was very important, so he obediently put down the kettle.
Although I was muttering to myself, how important could it be? The weather was cold, and the growth of the vegetable fields had slowed down. Some vegetables had even frozen to death. There might not be enough food for the people at the base this winter. This was what mattered.
"Our base has been encountering high-level zombies frequently over the past two days. They're stronger and faster than regular zombies. We've lost thirteen people so far, and many teams aren't planning to go out today."
"What does this have to do with Boss Xie?"
"Boss Xie sent someone to say..." Xiao Xingjin seemed equally puzzled, speaking in a skeptical tone. "They said that during the first snow, City C might face a large-scale zombie attack, and the lead zombie would be this high-level type. But they didn't specify the source of the information, and there's no evidence to support it. They told us to quickly build defenses and prepare."
Xiang Ziming thought for a moment and asked, "Does this mean they want us to go to the central area to stock up on supplies?"
Xiao Xingjin: "I don't think so. If they're short of crystal cores, why not just do another tour? The crystal cores we earned from the last tour of the four major bases won't be used up in this winter, right?"
Xiang Ziming: "So what do you mean?"
"Everyone, we've already seen a few high-level zombies. It's better to believe it than not. It's best to be prepared. I always thought that using that big truck as an obstacle avoidance tool was too simple."
Although the truck looks big, the cargo box is actually empty. If it encounters a large-scale zombie attack, it will not be able to withstand it.
Xiao Xingjin took out the blueprint of the "protection base" he designed a long time ago. At that time, he had imagined this doomsday disaster with the greatest malice, and this protection base naturally encompassed all his ideas.
What he wanted was to establish a new order and community amidst despair and chaos. This survival base would have to accommodate at least one million people, with ecological plantations and water purification areas built within the base to meet the basic living needs within the base.
The base is mainly circular, with a super-high protective wall built on the outer circle. A circle of gear traps is built on the outer circle of the wall to make it difficult for zombies outside to approach. Once they want to attack the base, they will first be crushed by the trap.
This is just the initial setting. We need to ensure that the survivors survive as much as possible so that we can think about the next step.
The biggest enemy of the survivors right now is the zombies, but in the entire world, it is not just the human population that has mutated.
Only when most of the survivors have enough food and clothing will they have the manpower and energy to research and equip advanced ground and air weapon systems, build protective shields, and resist the threats of mutated plants and animals, especially mutated flying animals.
However, all this was just speculation. Xiao Xingjin did not expect that so many survivors were holding the idea that "this kind of life is only temporary, and as long as the zombies are cleared out, humans will return to their original society."
Even Xiang Ziming felt that it was just a matter of time.
Xiao Xingjin had suppressed this idea, but now he brought it up again, wanting to convince Xiang Ziming: "If a large-scale zombie attack occurs, it would be best to build a protective wall like this, with the base as the center. The entire area should be well protected, not scattered here and there."
As for the various buildings within the planned scope of the protective wall, Xiao Xingjin believed that they should have been demolished long ago.
Xiang Ziming: "I'm afraid this is difficult."
Even if such a protective wall was built before doomsday, it would require a lot of manpower and building materials, and would also require specialized construction experts to design and draw up blueprints based on the terrain.
But now, there is nothing.
Xiang Ziming said, "I'm afraid the survivors of the base are unwilling to do this kind of work. Spending a lot of time building a protective wall means that there will be no source of crystal cores, and no way to exchange them for more supplies. Even if I force the order, without 'salary', the project will be suspended sooner or later."
Xiao Xingjin's expression turned cold: "Then let's publish it in my name first. As for how much we can do, it depends on their determination."
…
Liang Hongyu received the message from Xie Yunsui and asked calmly, "What else did you say?"
"Uh, no, but we found that Wu Feng has been taking people to the central area recently."
Liang Hongyu misunderstood and thought that it was because Wu Feng went to the central area from time to time that Xie Yunsui asked someone to give them this notice.
He had never been to the Central District—because he had been tricked by Xie Yunsui—but he didn't stop the base from going to the convenience store to trade. What else could Wu Feng do with his men in the Central District? Of course, he could only buy things.
For Mr. Xie, having such a long-term customer who often brings people from the base to patronize the business, it is only natural for him to take care of him.
Liang Hongyu didn't know where Xie Yunsui got the information, but in the past two days, several teams had indeed reported on the situation of high-level zombies.
"Inform everyone. Add a few more teams to go out and clear the zombies these days. Increase the daily quota of zombies cleared by 100."
Liang Hongyu curled the corners of his lips. Anyway, they had cleared out a lot of zombies around the West District, so even if there was a large-scale attack, it would not be their turn.
…
East District Base.
Ever since Lang Hao's accident, the base has not had a new leader. There are always people who are dissatisfied, so everyone simply divides themselves into small groups and just lives together.
Ji Tianyuan is in charge here, but he frowned after entering the base.
It was clearly daytime, but there were no people moving around inside the base, and everyone was hiding in their houses.
Ji Tianyuan followed his memory and found someone he knew.
"Why isn't there anyone leading a team to clear out the zombies?"
The man said, "Two teams went out a few days ago and encountered a very powerful zombie. Half of the team was killed. After they came back, the news spread, and no one went out anymore."
Ji Tianyuan was silent for a moment, knowing that they had encountered a high-level zombie.
In addition to the ones they encountered, they also encountered them here in the East District, so they must have encountered them in the other three bases as well.
In other words, advanced zombies are appearing from all directions.
Ji Tianyuan said: "When the first snow falls, there will be a large-scale zombie outbreak. Someone in the base must step up to build defense equipment, otherwise the zombies will flatten the entire base."
"..." Zhu Huahui looked like he was asking, "Who told you that? We've been out cleaning up for so long, all the zombies nearby have been cleared out."
The zombies' sense of smell and hearing work normally, but the range is limited.
The zombies outside the East District base are a long distance away. Even if they gather in the open air inside the base, the noise coming out will not affect the zombies.
Zhu Huahui said directly: "And now everyone is preparing to get through this cold winter peacefully. If they don't go out, no one will bring back a wave of zombies..."
Ji Tianyuan interrupted him: "Those powerful zombies are evolved zombies. They are fast and powerful, and can command and dominate low-level zombies. These zombies must have a sharper sense of smell and hearing. Not only you, but people in other bases have encountered them. With so many evolved high-level zombies, are you sure that there won't be one or two with low-level zombies to attack the base?"
Ji Tianyuan went out. He came here not to convince anyone, but just to reveal the news.
In this way, even if a zombie wave really comes, everyone will not panic and lose their composure.
After all, this was the base where he had stayed before. Ji Tianyuan found acquaintances in every small area to promote the matter and soon returned to the central area.
Their central area was not idle either, and they still had a certain degree of trust in what Boss Xie said.
At this moment, no one was planning to go out to clean up the zombies. Several earth and gold-type psychics planned to build a central area protective wall first, which would be almost the empty space in the central area and would surround it.
Outside the protective wall are alien plants. Even if the zombie tide breaks through the four major bases, they will still face the protection of a layer of alien plant circle.
The more everyone thought about it, the more they felt that staying in the Central District was the right decision!
"All three bases were notified, except for the North District. When we requested to see Zou Yao, they made all sorts of excuses. Later, they brought up Boss Xie's name and kicked us out of the base."
After Xie Yunsui heard this: "..."
Perhaps it was because Xie Yunsui's expression was too playful that everyone seemed to realize something: "Could it be that Zou Yao and Boss Xie have some grudge?"
Xie Yunsui: "I've beaten him before."
Everyone: I understand.
Zhao Dong asked, "Do we need to send someone to the North District to tell other people about this news?"
Ji Tianyuan said: "Just shout a few times at the gate of the base. There will definitely be people who can hear it. It's up to them whether they believe it or not."
The important thing now is to build the protective wall in the central area.
The temperature outside is close to 0 degrees now, and the snow starts falling as soon as the weather gets cold.
Xie Yunsui said: "Leave a gate at the place connected to the four major bases."
In addition, he also asked Xiaoxi to leave a passage for the alien plants between the central area and the four major bases.
Xie Yunsui thought about it. Not to mention that the zombie outbreak was imminent, even if winter didn't come, these four bases would not be able to successfully build a protective wall. The scope of their bases was too large, and they had manpower but not the materials. At most, they could build an earth wall.
The passage connecting to the central area is the last retreat route for the four major bases.
Hopefully someone will find out.
Xie Yunsui originally thought that no one would come until the zombie tide broke out, but he didn't expect that more than twenty survivors from the East District would come over the next day carrying large and small bags.
These twenty or so people were all women, and the youngest was only thirteen years old.
"We found a passageway among the alien plants... so we came here. Is there any place to stay here?"
The middle-aged woman who asked the question was called Hua Sheng. She had a serious expression on her face and was obviously the boss of this small group.
In fact, they were sure that people could live here, after all, Ji Tianyuan lived here, but they also had to ask to avoid causing displeasure to the people who originally lived here in the central area.
Then they discovered that the group of people living in the central area were almost all from the previous east area base.
Hua Sheng: "Didn't you guys run to the next base?"
At that time, everyone was fleeing. Hua Sheng paid special attention and found that they were basically heading towards the north and south bases.
Ji Tianyuan recounted the story of how he had picked up someone and asked, "Why do you want to live in the central area?"
"Actually, what you mentioned yesterday sparked a lot of discussion within the base. You know, we don't have a leader right now, so everyone has their own opinions when they get together. Some support building fortifications, some say we should take this opportunity to move to the next base, and some are indifferent, thinking that with the zombie wave coming, no one can escape it, so we might as well take this opportunity to eat and drink."
Hua Sheng smiled and said, "We didn't want to give up. We woke up this morning wanting to go out and check on the zombies, but we didn't expect to find this passage to the central area. The alien plants in the past weren't so considerate. I think it must be someone in the central area who wanted us to come over."
Xie Yunsui thought she was a smart person.
Currently, there are two residential areas in the central district, one is an apartment building and the other is the Nandian Garden Community.
"The apartment building is close to the convenience store. Nandian Garden hasn't been cleaned up yet. If you live there, you need to go out and clean it up with everyone else. You'll have the chance to pick up some supplies." Xie Yunsui introduced.
Hua Sheng's eyes lit up: "Let's choose Nandian Garden."
