The night at Qinglong Base was shrouded in thick gray clouds, and the air was filled with a nauseating fishy smell.

The central square of the base was filled with huddled survivors. They were dressed in tattered clothes, with dull eyes, like a group of animals waiting to be slaughtered.

At the front of the square, a senior executive in a black military uniform was looking down at them with a cold gaze.

"Five more people stole food today."

His voice was low and hoarse, yet it carried a chilling pressure.

"You think you can escape our notice?"

He raised his hands, and five bound survivors were brought up.

Everyone lowered their heads and their bodies trembled violently with fear.

One of them couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow:

"I was wrong! I won't do it again! Please, let me go!"

The senior executive looked at him coldly, without a trace of sympathy in his eyes:

"If you steal food, you will pay the price."

The next second, he waved his hand, and the soldiers standing nearby immediately raised their weapons and aimed at these people.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

After a few gunshots, five people fell to the ground, blood flowing, staining the gray ground dark red.

The survivors in the square had blank expressions on their faces and no one dared to make a sound.

They lowered their heads, fear and numbness in their eyes, as if all this had nothing to do with them.

Shu Weng, Qi Wan and Liu Zui stood at the edge of the crowd and witnessed it all.

"They actually... shot him directly?"

Qi Wan's fingers trembled slightly as she tried to suppress her anger.

"This place is worse than I thought."

Liu Zui said coldly, his eyes full of disgust.

"It's hell on earth."

Shu Weng didn't say anything, his eyes were cold and his fists were clenched tightly.

Who would have thought that those bustling street scenes were all illusions.

After leaving the square, the three continued walking through the streets of the Qinglong base.

The streets here are narrow and dirty, with all kinds of garbage and sewage scattered on the ground, and the air is filled with a foul stench.

The houses on both sides of the street were all built with worn-out wood and iron sheets, so crude that they could not even withstand the wind and rain.

The outside of the house was crowded with people. They were pale and thin, with tattered clothes. They huddled in a corner, with dull eyes, like zombies.

A little girl was sitting on the ground, holding a rag doll in her arms.

Her face was covered in dirt, her eyes were sunken, and her lips were so cracked that they looked like they were bleeding.

But she still held tightly to the blackened doll, as if it was her only support.

Not far away, a man was rummaging through a pile of garbage, his movements were urgent and frantic.

When he finally found a moldy piece of steamed bread, he immediately stuffed it into his mouth without even removing the mold spots on it.

"Don't look at it."

Shu Weng said in a low voice, and continued to move forward with Qi Wan and Liu Zui.

But with every step they took, they saw more scenes that were too painful to watch.

There was a mother who fell to the ground from hunger just to share a mouthful of porridge with her child;

An elderly man was huddled in the corner, his eyes lifeless, waiting for death to come.

There is no hope here, only despair and indifference.

When the three followed the man and the boy Ahao back to their "home", the scene before them shocked them even more.

That can't be called a home at all, it's clearly a cattle pen.

It was an empty, dilapidated shed without any partitions. The ground was made of hard soil and exuded a damp, musty smell.

The shed was packed with people, men, women, young and old, all crowded together, some leaning against the corners, some simply lying on the ground.

The air was filled with the smell of sweat, decay, and dirt, which made people frown.

“Is this where you live?”

Qi Wan couldn't help but ask, with disbelief in her voice.

The man lowered his head, with a hint of shame in his expression:

"Yes... all ordinary people live here. Only those 'God's messengers' can live in a good place."

"Why don't you run away?"

Qi Wan frowned and asked,

"It's better to take the risk and leave than to stay here."

The man's body trembled violently, with fear in his eyes:

"Escape? How is that possible..."

"Those who escaped were either caught and executed, or died in the mouths of zombies outside."

"Zombies?"

When Mr. Shu heard this word, his eyes flickered slightly.

"What do you mean? Are you saying that people will turn into zombies?"

The man nodded and whispered:

"Those infected will soon turn into zombies. They lose their minds and only know how to attack the living... and outside the Qinglong base, there are more zombies than we have here."

As he spoke, deep fear appeared in his eyes:

"I once saw a man trying to escape being surrounded by a dozen zombies...they went crazy and gnawed him until only bones were left."

“How terrible…”

Qi Wan said in a low voice, her pretty face full of shock.

There are no such things in the other three bases, so why are there zombies in the Qinglong base?

Liu Zui said coldly:

"So, the Qinglong Base is not a refuge for humans at all, but a prison."

Shu Weng's brows knitted tightly together, and he whispered:

"The problem here is more serious than we thought."

All of this was broadcast back to the present day, and the audience was shocked.

[Oh my god, this place is hell on earth! How come the people at Qinglong Base live such a miserable life? ]

[Living in a barn like a stable is too cruel! Don’t these people have any dignity at all? ]

[Will I be eaten by zombies if I run away? This apocalypse is more terrifying than I imagined...]

[The cold-bloodedness of the senior executives at Qinglong Base makes me want to vomit! They are basically slave masters! ]

[Those who survived can only live like animals. It's so hopeless...]

[Can Mr. Shu and his team change this place? I hope they can save these people.]

【After seeing this, I suddenly felt that my current life is so happy. 】

Mr. Shu looked at the desperate survivors in the shed, and the young man's eyes were full of determination.

「

"We need to get to the bottom of what's going on here."

"In a place like this, something big is going to happen sooner or later."

Qi Wan nodded, her eyes firm:

"If we have a chance, we must save these people."
