Chapter 44 Arrival at J City Base
"Everyone, attention! Southwest 200 is expected to arrive in ten minutes. Team 10 will be responsible for interception."
"Everyone, please be advised. Zhengdong 300 is expected to arrive in fifteen minutes. Team 14 will be responsible for interception."
Lu Shaoyang heard the instructions coming from the intercom and replied, "Team 14 received. We will ensure the completion of the mission. Over."
Then he ordered, "Teams 1 and 2, step out! Head east 1.5 miles and wait."
Two armored vehicles broke away from the team and sped eastward.
"It looks like another group of zombies is chasing us." Lu Ming looked out the window and could vaguely see a small village not far away, which probably had quite a large population.
Yan Song was driving, with Cheng Ming in the passenger seat. He released his mental energy, concentrating on "observing" for a moment before answering, "About three hundred, half of them are first-level zombies."
The closer you get to the base, the more zombies will chase you.
Especially after being strengthened by the virus rain, some zombies' hearing and sense of smell become much stronger. They can smell the smell from a long distance. If they are not eliminated, they will pursue you relentlessly and are very difficult to deal with.
In order to distinguish them from ordinary zombies, people who know that zombies are evolving call them first-order zombies.
The convoy had been traveling for a whole day, and had only stopped for ten minutes to rest. During this short period of time, the entire convoy encountered several waves of attacks.
Gu Chao would always bring people to help. Except for Yan Song, Lin Cong and Yan Wei who used their special abilities, the others would engage in close combat.
After they awakened their special powers, in addition to their usual self-study, Lu Ming would occasionally give them some pointers, while Gu Chao would direct them from the side to use their special powers to cooperate with each other.
It was agreed among everyone to only reveal the abilities of three people. The team must have a trump card, so Cheng Ming's spirit system, Zhang Rui's fog system, and Li Hangyuan's wood system were hidden by Lu Ming because they had low lethality in the early stage.
But she also told them that all superpowers are very useful, and that superpowers require constant practice to continuously improve control and precision.
Although the three of them did not attack, they used their superpowers no less often than anyone else.
Li Hangyuan was a little depressed at first because his wood element was too weak at the beginning and no flowers could grow. Others laughed at him for several days.
Lu Ming could only quietly promise him, "Once you develop vines, you'll be able to tie up zombies, and when you develop thorns, you'll be able to pierce them. In the end, you'll even be able to... I won't tell you yet. Don't aim too high. First, develop enough to kill zombies."
He was pleasantly surprised to hear that his attack power would be very strong in the future. He was full of energy and obsessed with practicing growing leaves, which made others curious. What kind of poisonous chicken soup did Lu Ming feed him?
Zhang Rui is in the same situation. His fog can no longer attack except being released into the air to block his vision.
Seeing that he was stuck in a dead end, Lu Ming had no choice but to point him in the right direction - atomization.
Because his ability was a branch of the water system, he started by atomizing external liquids. After his successful attempt, he immediately realized that he could not only atomize liquids, but also solids, and even turn dead objects into living things.
With a goal in mind, I practice harder than anyone else.
There was no need to ask about Cheng Ming's mental health. The example of the little girl cited by Gu Chao was enough for Cheng Ming to study.
Yan Song and Yan Wei were also very smart. They figured out the direction of practice on their own. Especially Yan Wei, when Lu Ming briefly mentioned the method he had discussed with Lu Shaoyang, he understood the key point and now his performance is comparable to Lu Shaoyang's.
They helped fight zombies along the way and discovered that in addition to those zombies with superpowers, these first-level zombies also had crystals in their brains.
The group of people were so engrossed in digging for crystals by poking their heads that they didn't want to stop. When others saw their actions, they either thought they were finishing off the enemy or that they were perverted murderers. Surprisingly, they didn't even notice the crystals.
After all, the probability is too low, maybe only 3 or 4 out of a hundred, and not everyone has the strength and patience like them.
However, in the near future, as long as the authorities discover that the mutant zombies have crystals, this thing will soon become like currency.
A few people kept the crystals that were suitable for them, and gave the rest to Lu Ming, asking her to mix them.
Lu Ming separated what he dug from theirs, kept half for himself, and contributed the other half to the spring, hoping that the space could be upgraded soon.
----------------
On September 25, after thirteen days of migration, the survivors of City N finally arrived at the military base in City J.
Lu Ming looked at his watch. "It's been almost two hours, why is there still no movement?"
She looked at Cheng Ming, who was about to release his mental power when he was suddenly pulled back.
"Don't move!" Lu Ming was rarely serious.
Cheng Ming also felt it, but he was a little surprised. Why did Lu Ming notice it earlier than him?
Gu Chao asked, "What's wrong?"
"There are also spiritual systems investigating the convoy behind us." Cheng Ming replied.
"And she's very strong, almost as strong as that little girl." Lu Ming looked at Gu Chao.
Gu Chao frowned, hoping that the other party was a friend rather than an enemy, otherwise he would be a tough opponent.
Although the previous fever did not give Lu Ming any superpowers, it did improve her physical condition. According to the classification of superpower users, she is now almost at the second level.
Although Cheng Ming has good talent, he has been in this stage for a short time and has not absorbed the spiritual crystal yet, so he is still in the middle stage of the first level.
The others were similar to Cheng Ming, except for Lin Cong, who was also about to reach the second level because the team encountered more fire zombies and was caught in the rain.
After waiting for another half an hour, the car in front finally moved.
The entire convoy moved forward slowly, stopping and starting, probably to scare people.
After driving a short distance, we saw another team nearby, with the survivors queuing up.
When it was Lu Ming and the others' turn, they finally understood why it was so slow.
Without a word, the guard produced a large card stating that entry to the base was free, but supplies were required to rent a room.
Previously, everyone on the military card got off the bus and lined up on the side. This is the entrance and exit for private vehicles. Before entering, you can choose the level of rental you want, and different levels receive different supplies.
"The high-end villa area requires 400 kilograms of food per month, and the number of tenants is limited to 30. The villa area requires 100 kilograms, and the number of tenants is limited to 12. The building area requires 20 kilograms per room, and the number of tenants is limited to 3. There is also a bunk bed area, which requires 5 kilograms per person... Finally, there is the tent area, where there is no rent, and you bring your own tent. Wow, they might as well rob it. It's so expensive, those people can't even afford a bunk bed."
Turn to the back and there is a conversion table between different items, and the conversion unit is base electronic currency.
5Kg of grain = 2.5Kg of instant noodles = 1Kg of meat products = 50 yuan, and there are many other miscellaneous items that can be exchanged.
The most expensive items are medicines and clothing.
Lu Ming's eyes lit up. She had a lot of clothes. She didn't buy them for free from several large shopping malls and supermarkets. Moreover, the conversion ratio was quite suitable.
So they discussed it and rented an ordinary villa and paid one month's rent.
