Chapter 288 You're a pig if you go outside
Shortly after, the base's loudspeaker came on, reminding everyone that a zombie horde was about to head towards the base, that the power would be cut off temporarily, and that everyone must remain silent.
After the broadcast announcement, all the lights that were still on in the base went out instantly.
Ling Ran and her group were no exception.
With the power outage, only the electronic devices in everyone's hands were still lit up. The air conditioning was also gone, and the remaining coolness was quickly replaced by the heat.
The entire base was dim and lifeless, as if it had been swallowed up by darkness.
There is no moon tonight, only a few stars hanging in the sky, making it seem even darker, as if there is no light in the world.
Ling Ran watched the show, completely unaffected.
Shen Nianshen and the others told Ling Ran and went out to check on the situation.
As soon as I stepped outside, I saw many people rushing out of the surrounding houses. Those who could live on this street were basically powerful superhumans or researchers from the base.
At this moment, there is a zombie horde in the base, and all the superhumans have been mobilized. However, everyone makes a very small noise. So many people are walking in the dark, yet not a single sound is made.
Pei Yi looked at those people, and then said to Uncle Chen and the others, "Uncle Chen, you stay here, let's go out and take a look."
"good."
After taking only two steps, Pei Yi saw Wu Tong following behind and said, "Wu Tong, don't follow us. The base must be in chaos right now. You don't want to get robbed."
Wu Tong: "..."
It stopped and watched Pei Yi and the others leave.
Seeing that Wu Tong seemed very sad, Liu Xiuping comforted him, "Wu Tong, the young master is doing this for your own good. You are a pet here, but outside you are a pig. People outside will eat you up."
Wu Tong snorted coldly, showing no appreciation, then impatiently flicked his tail and went back into the house.
On the other side.
When Pei Yi followed the group of superhumans, Zhou Chong's mobilization had already ended. At this moment, the superhumans made a quiet and quick approach to the city wall at the entrance of the base.
They quickly followed, but Zhou Chong saw them and paused, asking, "Mr. Pei, what brings you here?"
"See if we can help. What's the situation now?"
“The zombie horde is about a kilometer away from us.” Zhou Chong frowned as he walked and said, “According to news from the front, this zombie horde has at least 20,000 zombies and is heading towards our base, but we don’t know if they are just passing by.”
Pei Yi asked curiously, "Did you also experience a zombie horde before?"
"Yes, but they were all small-sized, around two or three thousand zombies. This time, there will be at least twenty thousand, or even thirty thousand, zombies..."
Zhou Chong shook his head. If they really came for the base, then the base must have suffered heavy casualties this time.
Hope Base currently has only a little over 20,000 people, of whom 15,000 are survivors. There are only about 6,000 people with superpowers, less than half of the survivors.
The ratio of survivors to superhumans in Hope Base is already very good, close to one-half. In other bases, the ratio is better at one-fifth, and worse at one-tenth.
Zhou Chong didn't even dare to imagine six thousand versus twenty thousand, or more.
As they spoke, the group arrived at the base entrance. What was usually just an iron gate and fence had now been replaced by a thick wall.
Above the city wall, many people with superpowers were already in position, all hiding there, while a team of firearms personnel who were not people with superpowers were also in position.
All the superhumans had arrived at the entrance area, but despite the large number of people, no one made a sound, not even a whisper.
