Chapter 90 is finally here
December 20th, sunny.
Early morning.
Just like every day after the apocalypse, it was another ordinary, boring, and difficult day for the survivors who knew no facts.
Although it’s only been four months since the end of the world, one can already see confusion, numbness, and a sense of meaninglessness in the faces of passersby.
It can be said that if they were informed of the zombie tide at this time, perhaps this abandoned base would collapse from the inside and become food for the zombies without waiting for the zombie siege.
Lu Ming and Gu Chao stood at the gate of the base, watching dozens of convoys carrying troops and survivors slowly drive out, with mixed feelings.
Judging from the satellite images of the past few days, the zombie tide has come closer, but is relatively scattered, and there seems to be no sign of a siege.
But Lu Ming knew that in the original story, this was all an illusion.
They are not like the zombie tide in K City, which is formed by the migration of zombies. So when their traces can be found on satellite images, a large tide has already formed.
Because of the high-level command, the zombie tide in J City continued to attack the base like annoying mosquitoes, with no rest time at all. Until the zombies gathered more and more, the speed of eliminating them could not keep up with the speed of siege. Finally, the city walls were pushed down and the base fell.
Since those people were still evacuating, there was no way to dig traps on the zombie route in advance, and they could only wait anxiously.
Lu Ming has been feeling uneasy these days because her arrival has changed many things. She also doesn't know if this zombie wave will also be fanned by her butterfly wings and cause any problems.
The last car drove out and the gate slowly closed.
They walked up to the lookout on the right side of the gate and asked one of the scouts, "Have you found anything?"
This scout is from Lu Shaoyang's team. His name is Wang Juntao. He has a vision abnormality and can see very far away.
Since the N City Armed Police withdrew along with the garrison two days ago, Lu Shaoyang and his men had officially been incorporated into Zhou Zixi's unit. Of course, this was only on the surface. After all, the higher-ups on both sides of the base still believed Zhou Zixi was unaware of the zombie siege, and they temporarily reached a compromise, demoting Zhou Zixi from division commander to battalion commander, replacing Battalion Commander Wan.
The rest of the division was transferred and reorganized for various reasons, so their division, which originally had more than 6,000 people, now only had more than 400 people under Zhou Zixi left, and they were finally arranged to guard the city gate.
If it doesn't exactly fit their ideas, it can be said to be extremely miserable.
The situation on Lu Shaoyang's side was not much better. They were notified to evacuate together, but their families were asked to "postpone their transfer."
Bah, go play in the mud.
Lu Shaoyang's entire squadron immediately took off their hats, ripped off their epaulettes, and stripped off their uniforms, throwing them at the captain's face - just as Lu Ming imagined.
The actual situation was not so tense. They left the organization calmly, and no one dared to stop them. They successfully regained their freedom... within a few hours.
Secretly, they all joined the Chaoyang Squad. Oh, after absorbing these people, it was renamed the Chaoyang Brigade.
But before the defense of the city begins, Zhou Zixi's military identity is still needed to reassure the survivors.
Gu Chao and Cheng Ming will include the 6 people from the original Chaoyang team, plus: Qin Mu and his wife, Lu Shaoyang 28 people, Zhou Zixi 423 people, and 20 medical staff consisting of family members. All 479 people will be cross-organized into 21 teams. Each team has its own functions, captain and deputy captain, and the strength is balanced.
The members of the original Chaoyang team are naturally captains or deputy captains. Gu Chao leads Team 1, and the deputy captain is Lu Ming. He has 28 people under him, the largest number of people, and they are all psychics with very strong strength. They are one of the vanguard assault teams, responsible for guarding the south gate, one of the two gates, which is the gate close to Area D and Area E.
There are many survivors here. Once a zombie is released, the base will be turned into a living hell in an instant.
In order to avoid the tragedy in the original story, they deliberately arranged Yan Song and Cheng Ming far away, one was the main force guarding the South Gate, and the other was the main force guarding the North Gate.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual for the time being, Gu Chao and Lu Ming prepared to go back to the villa to discuss things.
The two walked side by side on the street, and passers-by would take a second look, because this couple were both good-looking, with outstanding temperament and clean clothes. They walked leisurely on the side of the road, forming a sharp contrast with the dusty survivors.
Lu Ming was a little distracted and almost tripped several times. She didn't hear what Gu Chao said to her.
"oops!"
Lu Ming felt his forehead suddenly hit something hard. When he looked up, it was Gu Chao.
"What are you doing?" Lu Ming was a little confused. Why was he standing in front of her and letting her bump into him?
Gu Chao had no choice but to move aside the tree behind him: "Don't you look at the road?"
Luming stuck out his tongue and walked around the tree.
"What are you thinking about?" Gu Chao asked in a low voice.
She sighed deeply: "What else can I think about? I'm wondering when the zombies will come."
Gu Chao said calmly: "What is there to think about? It's not just your problem. Besides, if the sky falls, we tall people will hold it up. It's useless to think too much." As he spoke, he reached out and patted her head.
Lu Ming thought about it and realized that she had done everything she could and now she could only leave it to fate.
"Wait!" she suddenly realized, "Are you saying I'm short?!"
She looked up and found that Gu Chao was already ten meters away from her. She didn't care about the zombies anymore, and rolled up her sleeves angrily to chase after him.
"Stop right there!"
A smile appeared in Gu Chao's eyes, but he kept walking.
The two of them returned to the villa while playing and found a group of people gathered at the door of Zhou Zixi's new home next door.
Lu Ming came to the periphery and quietly asked Yan Wei beside him, "What's going on? Are you here to ask for supplies again?"
Yan Wei whispered back, "Yes, the people who came this time are from the logistics department. They said the quantity of the handed-over supplies doesn't match. They suspect they've withheld some, and they're searching right now."
Lu Ming's eyes rolled and he chuckled twice, probably thinking that the secret of Shangliu Town had finally been discovered.
The top brass at the base were such cowards, not only did they transfer Zhou Zixi and his men away, they also asked them to hand over all their supplies. How shameless! Fortunately, they had previously used all the army's supplies to pay the survivors' wages, so those people got nothing.
As they were talking, a group of people came out, led by Zhou Zixi and another unfamiliar middle-aged man.
Zhou Zixi looked unhappy and asked coldly, "Is Director Sun satisfied?"
Director Sun also suppressed his anger and snorted, "Captain Zhou, although I don't know where you hid the things, I urge you to hand them over voluntarily, otherwise the sentence of corruption will be too light!"
Zhou Zixi sneered, "Don't worry about it, please."
Director Sun walked away.
However, just as a group of people finished watching the excitement and were about to return to the villa.
The deafening sound of the whistle rang in everyone's ears.
Everyone's expression changed.
That is the base's alarm, a warning signal that will only be activated when the situation is extremely dangerous and will endanger the entire base.
"Woo..."
Lu Ming and Gu Chao looked at each other with serious expressions, then turned around and walked quickly back to the south gate of the base.
The zombie tide is coming!
