"Or, just close the door. It's too late."
The sound of crying echoed in the crowd. Everyone was hesitant. On the one hand, it was their conscience, and on the other hand, it was their own safety.
Qin Tian and Captain Lin both stood by the door and closed the door as soon as Xu Bai entered the basement.
The door of the basement is made of heavy stones and can be closed by a mechanism. There is also a stainless steel door inside for double protection.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Qin Tian murmured, not knowing whether he was trying to convince himself or others. He and Xu Bai didn't know each other very well, but he really felt that this girl was very powerful and shouldn't die like this.
If she were still alive, she would be the best she could be compared to those parasites who only thought about being protected by others and causing trouble for others.
"But the zombies are coming, close it quickly."
"Qin Tian, shut it down..."
Captain Lin next to him also felt a little reluctant. There were two or three hundred people crowded together in the basement. Abandoning one person could save the lives of two or three hundred people.
But if an excellent person is abandoned, the loss will only be the lives of two or three hundred people.
This can't be closed!
Even Qin Tian was a little hesitant. When he was about to press the button to close the door, Captain Lin stopped him and said, "Wait one more minute."
Qin Tian was astonished. He looked at Captain Lin's confident eyes, nodded, and ignored the group of people urging him behind him.
"Hurry up, Xubai, wait one more minute."
One minute is very long.
Xu Bai's ears were sharp. He turned around and chopped two or three zombies around him with his long sword. He even kicked them away, knocking down several of them.
After doing all this, she quickly ran to the basement.
"Get out of the way."
Following Xu Bai's shout, she pushed hard on her feet and jumped towards the door.
Three seconds...
Two seconds...
One second...
Xu Bai slipped into the basement as expected, and Qin Tian quickly pressed the button to close the door.
Qin Tian and Captain Lin, who were originally standing by the door waiting for it to close, were pulled back by Xu Bai before they could even breathe a sigh of relief. Xu Bai stood in front of them, holding up her long knife and slashing at the zombie that was halfway towards them. The zombie was stuck between the wall and the door, constantly squeezing in, making incomprehensible gibberish from its mouth.
Is it still too late?
Everyone's faces turned pale and they clenched their weapons tightly, waiting for the zombies to rush in and fight them to the death.
But the zombie's head fell to the ground and rolled a few times.
Even if he dies, it doesn’t matter. There are still groups of zombies behind this zombie that can crowd in.
When I thought of this question, my heart, which had just been filled with joy, immediately sank again.
When he looked up again, the zombie that was originally stuck between the wall and the door had been kicked away by Xu Bai.
The door is closed!
"Oh yeah the door is closed, we're saved!"
After Qin Tian came to his senses, he quickly closed the other stainless steel door. The big stone door switch could be pressed from the outside to open the door, but this door could only be closed and opened from the inside. This was the reason why two doors were set up at the time.
When all the doors were closed and everyone could get a break, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
The basement can barely accommodate about three hundred people, but the space is rather crowded, and there are only two or three small windows for ventilation, and the small windows here are surrounded by railings inside and outside.
There is a small window in it through which you can see outside.
After the door closed, the zombies could not sense their presence, and the zombies that had surrounded them began to wander and scatter.
But there were too many of them, so this place could only serve as a short resting place.
Among these two or three hundred people, about two hundred are soldiers, and the remaining less than one hundred are residents who originally lived in the base.
Not everyone could hold on for two or three hours, with the zombies fighting in wheels. Many of them leaned against the wall helplessly. Some of those who were extremely hungry had already started rummaging through the food in the basement. There was only a bag of rice and a bag of sweet potatoes, some bowls and chopsticks, a pot, a kitchen knife, a pile of wood, a lighter, and a box of mineral water.
Someone immediately asked someone to cook sweet potato porridge.
Even if we have a lighter, it is not easy to light the wood. In addition, there are too many people here and the air is not so smooth. The consequences of the fire are not something everyone can afford.
Fortunately, among these people, there were about twenty people with fire abilities. They took turns to rest and used the little bit of their abilities that had just been recovered to cook porridge for everyone.
There was only enough food for everyone to share a bowl, and that was it.
Fortunately, they didn't plan to stay there for long. They would retreat at dawn tomorrow depending on the situation.
But where can we retreat to?
Captain Lin was a little worried. All his superiors were dead, and he was the only one left with a slightly higher position. In the past, he didn't need to think about these things. His superiors would just make a decision and tell him to execute it. He never thought that making a decision would be so difficult. It was a pity that his superior was bitten by a zombie yesterday while trying to protect his wife and children. As for the others, he didn't see them in the basement, so they were probably dead too.
"Xu Bai, your previous invitation to us to your place still counts?" Captain Lin recalled the first time she met Xu Bai, when Xu Bai invited them to her base, and asked hurriedly.
He was also a little embarrassed. When Xu Bai invited them, there were only more than ten of them. Now the number has increased more than ten times. He wondered if the base was big enough to accommodate them?
In recent days, he has seen some people in some bases who have no place to live or cannot afford the rent in the base, so they set up tents in various halls. When they hear any noise, they wake up to check what is going on.
Xu Bai, who was originally sitting against the wall with his eyes closed to rest, opened his eyes and looked at Captain Lin when he heard the question, then his gaze fell on the others and then looked back at Captain Lin.
"It counts, but..." Xu Bai paused and checked the system's headcount data.
"Just what? Not enough food? Our group of people can find food by ourselves. As long as we have a place to live, it will be fine." Captain Lin was very nervous and stared at Xu Bai without blinking. He knew that this small base with an average number of people could not have enough food, but this group of survivors, who were both literary and martial, could find food by themselves, but a place to live was still necessary. No one wanted to go out and work hard every day, worrying about one meal a day, and couldn't even go back to the base to have a good sleep and rest.
This is also the reason why he did not want to rebuild a new base with this group of people.
Firstly, there is no food, and secondly, we need to arrange people to keep watch at night.
If you can join a ready-made base, it would be the best option.
