Chapter 60 is not over yet
"If all the bugs turn into zombies, what will happen to the base?"
Someone suddenly asked this.
There are hundreds of thousands of people living in the base, most of whom are ordinary people who have no power to resist these things. If someone is bitten or scratched, they may face a wave of zombies erupting from within the base.
But Lu Ming's focus was on: "What?! There are these disgusting things in the base?! Are there also these in our villa? Why have I never seen them before?"
Her scalp began to tingle again! The thought of having shared a room with these things made her feel sick, and she couldn't help but worry whether these things would crawl onto her bed...?
Lin Congru acted as if he had heard a strange question. "Of course there are some in the base, but our villa is new and well-equipped, so it's normal you haven't seen them. But think about the other accommodation areas, where dozens or even hundreds of people live together, barely able to afford food and clothing, let alone maintain proper hygiene. Especially the tent areas, you've never seen them before. They're so filthy and messy, with garbage, sewage, and feces all over the floor..."
As he spoke endlessly, Lu Ming seemed to see the scenes of those people struggling to survive.
She was a little confused, "Why don't they try to live a better life?"
Lin Cong seemed amused by her naiveté. "How can we find a solution? The base only gives us a bowl of rice soup every day. It's not enough to eat, and if we don't eat enough, we don't have the energy to work. And even if we can eat enough, the work at the base is all physical labor. The women, children, and the elderly can't do it. If they don't work, they have no income. If they have no income, they have no food to eat and can't afford rent. It's a completely vicious cycle."
Lu Ming thought about it and realized that she hadn't been just an ordinary, powerless person from the beginning. If she hadn't received compensation from the game company and hadn't met Gu Chao and the others, even if she had arrived at the base, she wouldn't have been able to make a living. She was too weak to do any work, let alone go out and fight zombies and search for supplies.
She seemed to understand why humans would eventually become extinct.
After the apocalypse, the human population plummeted, and the majority of those who survived were unable to protect themselves. Threats from zombies and their own kind plagued them, and without help, only a handful of those with special abilities would survive.
And how long can these people with special abilities turn the tide and survive surrounded by so many zombies?
They are just some small insects now, and there will be all kinds of more terrible disasters and environments waiting for them in the future.
So, how can she change the fate of mankind?
She was originally full of confidence, thinking that she could change the world as she held the space in her hands.
But now, she felt that she was too naive.
Apart from returning to the space, Lu Ming hasn't remembered that she is still in the game for a long time. After so long, she has an illusion that this is the real world.
She pulled at her hair in frustration. Why did this happen to her? She had no idea what she was doing. Wasn't this goal too difficult?!
Gu Chao felt complicated as he looked at the little girl in front of him with her eyebrows knotted and a bitter look on her face.
What is she worried about?
A clean, innocent, and lovely little girl like this should live in the sunshine, pampered and loved by her family, doing the job she loves, traveling with friends, finding someone to love and cherish for the rest of her life. She should be free, bold, and carefree, not like she is now, spending every day among rotting corpses with ruptured intestines, dealing with hideous snakes, insects, rats, and ants, her hands often rubbed with blisters, her body covered in bruises from sparring, and worrying about this and that every day.
As he thought about this, he couldn't help but put his hand on her shoulder.
A sudden weight on his shoulder pulled Lu Ming back from his chaotic thoughts.
Looking up along the pair of big hands with distinct joints, Gu Chao's deep black eyes were staring at her without blinking.
"Don't overthink it."
His deep and deep voice seemed to have a power that gradually calmed Lu Ming down.
She let out a breath. Really, there was no point in overthinking it. Everything had to be done slowly. Besides, based on her experience, those ordinary people might just consider having a safe place to live a good life. They might even be unwilling to change. Why was she so worried? She should just focus on managing these future leaders first.
Well, let's develop their strength first! Lu Ming set a small goal for himself in his heart.
At this moment, the car suddenly stopped, and several people hurriedly reached out to steady themselves. Before they could ask, Cheng Ming's solemn voice suddenly came from the intercom: "The superpower team is approaching us rapidly, and there are many small creatures following behind..."
What little thing?
Several people's expressions changed, and Lu Ming became even more nervous. No way... Could it be... Don't scare me again!
The people in the convoy also got off the car to understand the situation.
Gu Chao climbed onto the roof of the car and saw a military truck speeding towards him. The person in the passenger seat leaned out and fired wildly backwards with a rifle.
He frowned. If it was something from the processing plant, it would be at least an hour and a half's drive away. How could it have chased so far?
The people in front also saw this scene. Although they didn't know what was behind, they all knew that it was definitely not a good thing.
The cars in front turned around in panic, ready to speed away at any time, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Gu Chao jumped out of the car, adjusted the personnel layout of the two cars, and then sat in the driver's seat of the front car.
He picked up the intercom and said, "Close the windows tightly and prepare to break out!"
After saying that, he released the handbrake, stepped on the accelerator and drove out!
Seeing the military truck approaching, they not only did not slow down, but instead stepped harder. When their vision was no longer obstructed, they could see clearly what was chasing them.
It turned out to be spiders of all sizes and colors!
At first glance, they were densely packed, with long legs moving quickly, and countless black eyes glowing with a faint light, as if staring at new prey.
Gu Chao calmly ran over the swarm of spiders that blocked the road.
I could hear the teeth-grinding sound of insect bodies bursting. Some spiders spit silk at the car, while others jumped onto the car body. Their hard teeth even gnawed on the iron sheet, spitting out venom and corroding small holes in the car.
Seeing this, Lin Cong didn't care about his tired body, and quickly stretched out his hand from the sunroof and pressed the roof. A thin flame centered on his palm and burned around the car body. The spiders couldn't stand the high temperature and jumped out of the car to avoid it, and died under the tires of the car behind.
With the lessons learned from the previous incident, Yan Song and Yan Wei in the rear car wrapped the entire car with a layer of soil and a layer of gold shell, thus preventing the car body from being corroded by the spider venom.
The speed of 120 yards allowed the two vehicles to break through in the blink of an eye. Apart from a few climbing on the car bodies, there were not many following them. Instead, they all chased the military trucks that passed by.
After driving a few hundred meters, the two cars braked suddenly again. The clinging spider was thrown out by inertia and nailed to the ground by various supernatural powers.
They got out of the car and stood there looking back.
