Chapter 396 Big Pot
The base commander smiled bitterly.
Where can he find a solution? The surrounding bases are all in danger. Not to mention that the supplies cannot be traded, even if they are sent out of the city, how can the other party get through the zombie army and enter the city?
"How long can the food in the granary last?"
"Three days at most."
Three days...
The base commander dug his fingers deep into the cracks between the bricks. The goods purchased in the supermarket will be delivered within seven days.
Excluding today and the three days when there is enough food, if we don't count the day the goods arrive, they only need to hold on for two days.
This was the worst plan - no, there was one more, he had overlooked the most fatal point!
Did the psychic he sent out to pick up the deliveryman just happen to be caught in a zombie swarm?!
Thinking of this, he hurriedly jumped onto the city wall and looked down, trying to find a familiar face among the dense crowd of rotten faces.
The breath of the living incited the zombies below, who slapped the thick city walls more and more violently, and gradually showed a tendency to pile up.
A burning ball of fire passed from the corner of the eye, fell into the pile of zombies, ignited the dry hair, and set it on fire.
Just then he saw the receiver who was not even as tall as the shoulder of the person next to him.
It's over. The delivery person will definitely not be able to find this place. It's in the vast suburbs and there is not a single sign. How can he be accurate?
The base commander couldn't help but look pale.
The zombie hordes that covered the sky and the sun surged in like a surging tide.
From the city center, from the streets, from the residential buildings——
etc.
What's that thing following the zombies?
"There's someone behind the zombies!"
"That's a person! And he's riding, riding, an electric bike?"
"It's over. She ran in the wrong direction. There are more zombies here. What a pity. I have to make a good choice in my next life."
"Shh—stop making noise! I think I hear a different sound."
The distance was too far, and everyone could only see a person in bright clothes riding a small electric scooter heading in this direction. It was a pity, but at the same time, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Among the disgusting gray and black colors, different bright colors suddenly popped out, which really aroused the remaining curiosity.
Hearing the long hiss from the base, everyone shut their mouths and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
The wind slowly brought a message:
"Ahem, the delivery has arrived, come and pick it up~"
"What did you say?"
“It seems to be a delivery…”
"Who of you ordered the courier?"
"Don't make a fuss. How can a business stay open without internet and electricity?"
Yeah, very weird.
For a moment, everyone on the wall had an expression as if they had seen a ghost. They used their supernatural powers mechanically and stared at the small electric device that was obviously approaching them without blinking.
On the other hand, their respected base commander was like he had won a jackpot of tens of millions of yuan, and he excitedly raised his arms and shouted:
"I'm here~ Boss Xia~ It's me~"
…
Xia Yan followed the tour guide zombie all the way and soon saw the tragic base in the distance surrounded by a tide of zombies.
Could it be that her customers are in this city?
Xia Yan approached slowly with a little melancholy. After both of them could see each other's faces, the man standing on the rooftop waving his arms and shouting was the owner of this order, right?
The group of zombies in front was smelly and dense. She stopped where she was, reached out to shut down the little bee, supported herself on one leg, and looked up while holding up her sun hat.
"Isn't the location you gave a bit too remote? I ran for a long time. If it weren't for the zombies leading the way, I would never have found this place."
The people in the depression of the city wall were dumbfounded.
Are the zombies becoming intelligent? Leading the way? Are they really that intelligent?
The base commander, however, looked deeply moved, as if he had met a savior. "The main reason was that this place was originally a wasteland with no landmarks around. I couldn't reserve a place, and the people I sent to pick you up were unlucky enough to run into a zombie horde..."
Xia Yan kicked away a zombie that was approaching without any eyes.
Little did she know that her light kick almost made the people upstairs' eyes pop out.
All I could think about was why the zombies didn’t eat her?
Could she be the legendary Zombie King?
"Okay, I'll find a spot to go in."
She said this, turned on her electric scooter, and rushed through the pile of zombies in full view of everyone, with the distance between her and the zombies being only half an arm's length.
A zombie could easily grab her slender arm, bite off her neck with a single groan, and then rush over like a swarm of bees to devour her...
Everyone was so frightened that they didn't even realize that they had thrown the supernatural power in the wrong direction.
The originally mature and steady base commander also regained his youth and started running a marathon on the city wall.
"Go check if there are enough zombies at the north gate and get ready to welcome Boss Xia into the city!"
At the top of the north gate wall, there were dozens of people with long-range attack abilities. After receiving an order from the base commander, they all used their abilities to clear a four-meter-wide path.
Xia Yan rode his bike up and saw the wheels sinking into the blood mud. Even turning the ignition switch felt sluggish.
Upon closer inspection, there were a lot of broken bones mixed in the mud, the sharp ends of which could easily penetrate the soles of shoes.
Listening to the squeaking sound of the wheels rolling past, Xia Yan couldn't help but sigh that all the products produced by the system are of high quality.
The path behind her was soon occupied by zombies that crowded in and stumbled after her. At first glance, one would think that her ability was to summon the living dead.
Xia Yan rode all the way to the city gate, put the bike across her back to block the zombies that were approaching, and reached out to knock on the door.
The people inside shouted "Get ready" and suddenly opened the city gate. Then the psychics behind them waved their hands and used various superpowers to rush towards the zombies.
The brilliant colors left an indelible mark in Xia Yan's eyes. She blinked and said softly, "You are really passionate."
“Come in quickly!”
A voice of urging exploded in her ears. Xia Yan put the electric bike back into the grid and walked into the colorful city. The city gate slammed shut right behind her.
Bang bang bang.
Three protective shackles were put on in a row.
"Boss Xia, you came just in time! You saved our lives!"
When Xia Yan regained his clear vision, he saw the base commander with an excited and flushed face.
If there weren't differences between men and women, I would probably give her a warm hug.
She was a little unaccustomed to it and said calmly, "Where are the supplies?"
"Here, put it here." The base commander pointed to an empty warehouse.
Xia Yan did as he was told.
Looking at the warehouse that was filled in an instant, the base commander and his men gasped.
Knowing you're buying a lot is one thing, but seeing it with your own eyes is another.
The head of the base was so angry that his throat was shaking. "Prepare a big pot and cook instant noodles with eggs, sausages, and vegetables! Everyone, eat as much as you can!"
Hiss.
Just by listening to it, people around couldn't help but salivate and swallow their saliva continuously.
Did you hear what the base commander just said?
Cook instant noodles! Add sausage and eggs!
Full of food!
Everyone took action, lighting the fire, adding firewood, washing the pots and dishes, with a smile on their face, as if they were celebrating a festive day, and there was no longer any sense of urgency or anxiety caused by the zombies pressing in on the city.
Xia Yan took out a flyer and asked, "How about getting a points card?"
