"By the way, the ancestor said he wanted to meet with you in a few days to discuss the next battle strategy."
Zhang Yuan added lazily after stuffing another candy into his mouth.
Wang Jianguo raised his eyebrows: "So soon, Southeast Asia is going to be taken over?"
"Hmm, don't you see who that is? He's our ancestor, how can he not be happy?"
Zhang Yuan's words were full of pride, which made Wang Jianguo laugh.
"Okay, I get it. Is there anything else? If not, go back to sleep."
Wang Jianguo started to drive people away. He had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to chat with Zhang Yuan.
Zhang Yuan saluted: "As you command! Sir, please take your time. I will take my leave."
.....
After returning home, Zhang Yuan washed up and rested.
The next morning, he went directly to the end of the world through the portal.
People in the apocalypse work very hard. They get up at dawn and go out to fight zombies.
They are now full of hope every day. They fight zombies in the morning and go into the VR virtual training hall to improve their strength in the evening.
I don't want to waste any moment.
Things are a little different today.
Hu Dexu's uncle has not gone out. He sat at the door of the shopping mall, smoking one Zhonghua cigarette after another that he bought in the supermarket.
His face was full of sorrow.
Zhang Yuan just came out of the mall and was about to go to the hotel.
Then I saw that Hu Dexu's uncle had a big headache.
He was a little curious. Hadn't everyone's life been much better recently?
Why does Hu Dexu's uncle look like this now?
So Zhang Yuan sat next to Uncle Hu Dexu.
"What's wrong with Uncle Hu? Why are you so melancholy?"
As soon as Zhang Yuan's voice came out, Hu Dexu's uncle realized that there was someone else next to him.
He quickly came to his senses, forced a smile on his face, took out the cigarette and handed it to Zhang Yuan.
"Boss Zhang, would you like one?"
Zhang Yuan waved his hand and declined: "No, I don't smoke."
Uncle Hu Dexu nodded in a trance, withdrew his hand, and sighed heavily.
Zhang Yuan became more and more curious: "Uncle Hu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with the mall?"
Uncle Hu quickly waved his hands and shook his head: "No, no, everything is fine at the mall."
Perhaps Zhang Yuan's arrival made him feel a little relieved.
The expression on his face eased slightly, and after hesitating for a moment, he told Zhang Yuan about his troubles.
"Boss Xiao Zhang, the truth is, our lives are better now, and we are all very grateful to you, but my wife has been very depressed recently."
At this point, Uncle Hu sighed.
Zhang Yuan spoke thoughtfully: "Uncle Hu, if you have any problems, just tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely find a way to help you."
Uncle Hu pulled the corners of his lips with difficulty and took another long puff of his cigarette.
The smoke enveloped his expression, making it difficult to see clearly.
He said, "Boss Zhang, do you know that China doesn't just have the Huaxia base?"
Zhang Yuan really didn't know about this.
"Didn't they say before that there was only one Huaxia base? From what you said, could it be that there is more than one Huaxia base?"
But then again, with so many people in China, how could one Chinese base possibly accommodate them all?
But no one had mentioned other bases to him before.
Uncle Hu gave a wry smile and said, "Actually, there's only one official base, the Huaxia Base, but there are also some survivor camps that can't really be called bases."
"The Huaxia base is in the capital. Many people are too far away from the capital and cannot successfully reach the capital through the zombie swarm, so they gather together and form survivor camps. Most of the people in these camps are ordinary people, of course there are also people with special abilities, but the level of these people with special abilities is generally not high."
"Most of them are reluctant to leave the survivor camp because their families are there. Home is where there are family members."
When he said this, a tear flashed quickly in Uncle Hu's eyes.
His parents and sister all died after the apocalypse. Now, apart from his nephew and wife, he has no other relatives.
Zhang Yuan did not interrupt Uncle Hu and listened to his story carefully.
It was only after he had been in this other world for so long that he realized there was a survivor camp.
Why did Uncle Hu mention the survivor camp now?
Uncle Hu went on to say, "My wife's hometown is Yun Province. Yun Province is too far from the capital, and her parents have never been able to come to the capital base."
"Neither she nor I have awakened our special powers, so it's impossible for us to go pick them up. She's an only child, with no siblings, and her parents haven't awakened their special powers either. It's even more impossible for two elderly people to cross the zombie swarm and reach the Huaxia base."
"Recently, our lives have improved, but my wife has started thinking about her parents-in-law again and has been hiding in bed crying."
Uncle Hu felt very uncomfortable. He quickly finished a cigarette and lit another one.
It seems that he wants to use nicotine to relieve the anxiety and depression in his heart.
"I just hate myself for not awakening my superpowers. I'm not capable enough to bring the two elderly people to the mall and let them enjoy life before the apocalypse."
Uncle Hu hung his head in despair, smoking weakly one cigarette after another.
Zhang Yuan seemed to have caught something. He narrowed his eyes and asked the doubts in his mind.
"Uncle Hu, from what you said, your wife's parents are still safe now?"
When the apocalypse began, Uncle Hu's father-in-law and mother-in-law should have been in their 60s. How did people of such age survive the apocalypse without awakening superpowers and without any children around them?
Moreover, communication is not well developed in the last days. How did Uncle Hu know that his father-in-law and mother-in-law were still alive?
Uncle Hu twitched his lips bitterly. "Yes, the two old people are still safe now. I don't know how they survived the apocalypse on their own, but we do communicate every year."
Zhang Yuan was very puzzled, and his eyes revealed his confusion. Uncle Hu saw this and took the initiative to explain.
"Actually, a year after the apocalypse, everyone has gradually mastered the rules of survival. The Huaxia base also has certain connections with some survivor camps, and will provide some support to the survivor camps within its capabilities."
"There are support missions every year, and the rewards for support missions are very generous. Dexu's team has also received support missions. Four years ago, the Dexu team was formed, and the first support mission they received was to go to the survivor camp in Yun Province."
"Because of Dexu's relationship with me, before I left, I asked Dexu to help me keep an eye out for my father-in-law and mother-in-law when we went to the survivor camp. I didn't expect Dexu to actually find my father-in-law and mother-in-law in the survivor camp."
"After that, Dexu helped bring back a handwritten letter from my father-in-law and mother-in-law."
