Chapter 81 Chapter 81 Zombies
Everyone lost their appetite after eating the meal.
He Junxia asked the waiter for a few takeaway boxes to pack up the remaining food. It was already dark outside and there were few pedestrians on the street.
The three of them walked in silence. The sudden terrible news made them lose the joy of reunion, and they didn't know how to start the conversation for a moment.
In the end, it was He Junxia who broke the silence.
He said, "Mom, don't go back today. Let's go there first."
Although the allied team of mutant animals and zombies is unlikely to attack the second human base in a short period of time, he cannot take the risk because he is better off being safe than sorry.
He Junxia had a vague premonition that now was the critical time to complete the mission - once humans truly realized the horror of zombies and mutant creatures, their ideas would naturally change, and they would give up the unrealistic idea of getting rid of zombies in a short period of time and returning to normal life.
The temporary disaster relief base will also be transformed into a long-term survivor base.
He couldn't let anything go to waste.
Xie Liqing readily agreed to He Junxia's proposal.
In fact, even if he didn't say it, she would have brought it up on her own initiative.
Xie Liqing hadn't seen her child for such a long time that from the moment they met and recognized each other, she had been feeling dazed, unreal, and like she was dreaming.
Even the shocking news of the destruction of the Red Mountain Base could not dispel this illusion, and even made her doubt the reality of the world.
Xie Liqing was afraid that she would be alone again after one night.
Fortunately, the world is real, the son is real, and the eldest grandson brought back by the son is also real.
Unfortunately, the destruction of the Sequoia Base is an irreversible fact.
With only three days left until the new year, the news spread quickly throughout the three remaining bases in City A. Everyone felt threatened, and even bases across the country heard about it and took it as a warning.
They were too relaxed and too cocky.
They thought that with firearms and superpowers in hand, it was only a matter of time to recapture the city and return to normal life, but they forgot that the enemy was also developing and progressing.
The destruction of the Sequoia Base was a resounding slap in the face, completely waking up the self-deceiving fantasies of all the top leaders of the base.
The top priority is to strengthen the defense inside and outside the base as quickly as possible.
The Yunjiang base sent people to pull up dense barbed wire at high altitude overnight, installed power equipment, and set up high-altitude guards to ensure that the base could detect any mutant bird attacks in the first time.
The next morning, people were stunned to see a dense barbed wire fence covering the sky. They couldn't help but marvel at the base's swift action, but at the same time, they couldn't help but feel deeply worried.
Can the Yunjiang base really withstand the attacks of those mutant creatures?
Although the base responded quickly and deleted the bloody video on Yunjiang House, people who had seen it had already spread its content, and eyewitnesses who escaped from the Sequoia Base even recounted the horrific truth in horror.
For a moment, the New Year atmosphere in the base disappeared.
Panic spread, and no one thought about buying New Year's goods or preparing a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner. They were simply afraid they wouldn't live to see the next year. Some, desperate and pessimistic, even chose to commit suicide or commit a final act of revelry.
The Yunjiang base was in chaos.
Fortunately, the top management of the base did not give up. Instead, they used tough measures to deal with those who took the opportunity to commit crimes, and strengthened the defense weaknesses exposed in the video one by one.
Maintain troops for a thousand days and use them for a moment.
Regardless of whether they are inside or outside the system, people with special abilities who usually enjoy high welfare benefits are pulled to the base to work. They are busy all day long, and some even sleep directly at the construction site.
Not only that, the neighborhood committee staff also went door to door to publicize and hold lectures to tell everyone the correct thing to do after hearing the alarm.
The entire base was busy.
On the day before New Year's Eve, the base held a special military parade.
Looking at the spirited soldiers, various new supernatural weapons and magnificent supernatural performances, people's hearts, which had been hanging high in the air, finally slowly settled down.
No matter how powerful the zombies and mutated animals are, humans are not necessarily worse than them. Perhaps the Redwood Base was just caught off guard and seemed unable to resist.
With this thought in mind, the festive atmosphere in the base gradually became stronger.
New Year's Eve
Xie Liqing prepared a sumptuous meal, including fish, chicken, pork, and 12 dishes in total. She spent a considerable amount of contribution points just on buying the ingredients.
All three of them wore new clothes.
He Junxia and Xie Chaoyang’s new clothes were bought by Xie Liqing, and Xie Liqing’s new clothes were bought by He Junxia.
He Junxia originally wanted to say that there was no need to care about those ceremonies. If he wanted new clothes, he could just go to an empty shopping mall outside and get as many as he wanted. However, after Xie Liqing saw the bloody destruction of the Redwood Base, she didn't want him to take risks outside the base again.
(Although it wasn't an adventure for him)
However, they were not short of contribution points. Since Xie Liqing was willing, He Junxia did not refuse and obediently followed her to the mall to try on clothes.
Facts have proved that this approach is very correct.
After buying New Year's goods together, buying clothes together, selecting ingredients together, and making New Year's Eve dinner together, Xie Chaoyang and Xie Liqing have become much closer and more harmonious, no longer as unfamiliar as they were at the beginning.
He Junxia was very satisfied with this.
When he chose to take in Xie Chaoyang, he also hoped that after he was gone, the child would be able to accompany Xie Liqing to overcome the pain of losing her son.
After all, one must have a dream in life.
Xie Liqing and Xie Tengda have depended on each other for more than ten years, and Xie Liqing has also revolved around Xie Tengda for more than ten years. Xie Tengda is Xie Liqing's hope in life and the focus of her life.
Once Xie Tengda dies, Xie Liqing is likely to go to extremes.
Just like when He Junxia was first infected with the zombie virus, Xie Liqing didn't care at all whether she would be infected with the zombie virus, and was even prepared to die with her son.
This maternal love is deformed and great.
But He Junxia believed that both herself and the real Xie Tengda hoped that she could live well and happily.
That's why He Junxia wanted to find a new bond for her, and Xie Chaoyang was the best choice, the best choice for both parties.
Children whose parents are unkind and lack the care and love of their families need the deep, heartfelt care and love of others to fill this spiritual void. Xie Liqing, on the other hand, is accustomed to giving to her children, to considering them her only priority. Her love is strong and passionate enough.
As for Xie Chaoyang's identity, He Junxia already has a plan.
*
The New Year’s Eve dinner is over.
Xie Liqing took out two red envelopes from her bag and gave them to He Junxia and Xie Chaoyang. Just by looking at the thickness of the red envelopes, one could tell that they were quite heavy.
Xie Chaoyang turned to look at He Junxia, his bright eyes filled with cautious expectation and desire. It was the first time that he had received a red envelope from an elder.
He Junxia nodded.
Xie Chaoyang's ears flushed as he took the red envelope from Xie Liqing: "Thank you, grandma."
Xie Liqing felt a little nervous when she heard the address, and nodded with a smile, then glanced at He Junxia calmly.
The little kid only knows how to add generation status to her.
She is only in her early forties, how come she is already old enough to be called grandma?
However, despite her complaints, Xie Liqing knew that her child did this to better conceal his actions and avoid being discovered by people they knew.
"Thank you, Mom."
He Junxia took the red envelope with a smile.
The three of them chatted and laughed, feasting on the food. Among them, the dishes made from exotic animal meat were the most popular and were finished in a short while.
The exotic beast meat in the base is in short supply, and if you want to buy it, you have to use your connections everywhere. All the exotic beast meat used for cooking is brought back by He Junxia from outside.
Xie Liqing asked curiously, "Why don't you bring the chicken and cat back with you?"
He Junxia: "They're too conspicuous."
Xie Liqing reacted: "That's right."
The base has strict control over mutant animals, and a license for breeding exotic animals is required. Moreover, mutant animals are generally much larger than ordinary animals, and can be seen at a glance. It is difficult to sneak them in secretly, and if caught, you will face a huge fine.
He Junxia smiled but said nothing.
In addition to being worried about attracting attention, the most important point was that he did not regard the cute green tea-looking fat orange as his own property.
Free elves should not be confined to a small space; the vast world is theirs.
Moreover, the people in the base don’t have a very good attitude towards mutant animals.
Some people hate mutants because their relatives and friends died at the hands of mutants. Some people take risks and hunt mutant animals raised by others because the price of mutant meat is high and the supply exceeds the demand.
The base's official attitude towards this is also ambiguous.
As for the mutant black rooster, its IQ is not low. It can meow like a cat, take the initiative to feed the fish in the pond, and diligently create mutant chicks.
He Junxia decided to give it a chance to live.
However, there is no need to explain each of these considerations one by one.
He Junxia changed the topic to the house, and Xie Liqing really stopped dwelling on that matter. She picked up some food for them from time to time and asked them to eat more.
A villa area dozens of kilometers away
The big black rooster and the orange cat looked at each other, and finally huddled together to eat the New Year's Eve dinner that someone had prepared in advance, which was heated by the orange cat using an induction cooker.
He Junxia had trained them before leaving.
The milky white fish soup was bubbling in the pot, the aroma filled the air and hit the cats and chickens, and the strong energy gradually dissipated outwards.
The orange cat and the big black rooster kept swallowing their saliva.
This is a pot of fish soup made from level three carp. Even the bones have been boiled down. It is a great tonic for those with special abilities or mutant creatures below level three.
Fortunately, the villa area is remote and hidden, and has been cleaned up several times by He Junxia. Otherwise, if the cat and the chicken want to have the New Year's Eve dinner, they will have to fight with other mutant creatures first.
"Gululu" "Gululu"
A cat and a rooster buried their heads in their bowls, eating meat and drinking soup in big mouthfuls. The fish in the pond in the back garden smelled the scent and poked their heads out, watching the orange cat and the big black rooster eat with relish.
It smells so good.
After drinking the New Year's Eve soup, the orange cat turned over and lay on the soft tatami cat bed, but no one would rush over to suck its belly, and no stinky human child would envy and hate it unhappily.
Only one "annoying" cat-like rooster was left, crowing like a chicken.
The orange cat stretched lazily, squinted its emerald green eyes and looked at the big black rooster that was singing happily, then quickly curled its lips and looked away silently.
snort
There is no human in the villa, and the rooster wants to be king.
You wish!
The orange cat stood up and slapped the big black rooster, who was immersed in its beautiful singing, several meters away with its paw.
"Meow-oh-meow!"
The big black rooster protested with dissatisfaction. God knows, after being captured by humans, it completely lost the opportunity to show off its singing voice.
If we don’t play for a while now while humans are away, we will have no chance when they come back.
The orange cat panted: "Meow meow meow."
Silly chicken, humans are not coming back.
The chicken was stunned, the chicken was happy, the chicken cheered, and the chicken was slapped away by a claw again.
The orange cat left the villa with its chin raised proudly.
Cats don't hang out with stupid chickens.
The big black rooster, unaware that he had been defined as a "stupid chicken", flapped his wings and chased after it.
Chickens also need to find meal tickets from humans!
