Atop a mountain abroad, a group of men waited, armed with weapons, their expressions vigilant, their surroundings on high alert. At noon, planes approached from afar, slowly descending, and men in combat uniforms descended swiftly and orderly.
"Haha, Captain Lin, we're here to join you." A dark and strong man with shiny hair strode over, shook hands firmly with Lin Cheng who was waiting there, and then bumped his shoulders.
Lin Cheng smiled faintly: "Guo Teng, welcome." Guo Teng is also a tough guy in the Tuanyuan Base. He is not Lin Zhongrong's subordinate, but Lin Cheng has cooperated with him several times. He has a generous personality and no ulterior motives. He is still a very good comrade-in-arms.
"This time, we're bringing two hundred people, along with supplies. Here's the list, take a look." Guo Teng, respecting Lin Cheng, handed him the supplies. "The most important thing is the seven thousand supernatural bullets."
Someone unloaded several black armament boxes from the plane and opened them. Inside were magazines filled with bullets. Lin Cheng picked up one. The bullets inside were so transparent that an uninformed person would have no idea what material they were made of.
Knowing who had done this, Lin Cheng's eyes lit up with genuine warmth. Seven thousand bullets, clearly meant for the people from the four bases, were all here. Lin Cheng asked the representatives from the other three bases to take their own. Guo Teng and Lin Cheng stepped aside. "I heard the situation isn't good?"
"Half a month ago, Lancheng, a city with a population of 200,000 people and only 200 kilometers away from here, was taken over by zombies. Now zombies are everywhere."
Lin Cheng said as he looked at the city below the mountain.
This city is the safe city that has maintained contact with the reunion base in recent years. It has a very long English name, but young Chinese nowadays don’t know much English, so the first letter of the word is taken and it is abbreviated as "S City". Nalan City is also an abbreviation.
Si City has a population of 800,000, and there are two other safe cities surrounding it. The more distant Lan City has already fallen, leaving Weicheng, 50 kilometers away, with a population of approximately 200,000. Now, everyone in Weicheng has migrated to Si City, and both sides are combining their forces to resist the zombies. Lin Cheng and his support personnel are naturally helping them defend the city and using it as a base to fight the zombies. Otherwise, if these one million people are taken by the zombies again, everyone will forget it. They should pack up and go home.
Of course, if it really comes to that, whether you can escape is still a question.
"Hiss, this name is unlucky." Guo Teng asked, "What happened in Lancheng?"
"It's said that a high-level zombie climbed over the wall, and by the time they discovered it, it was too late."
"Just one?"
Lin Cheng said, "Well, when rescue efforts proved ineffective, Sicheng launched missiles in time. While they eliminated most of the zombies, they also caused the zombies to spread. A rough estimate is that there are 50,000 to 80,000 zombies. However, they haven't attacked Sicheng yet. I'm afraid Feo is planning something—Feo is the self-proclaimed name of the second zombie king."
"Have you seen him?"
"I met him by chance."
Zhang Changming grinned as he carried a supply bag. "What a coincidence! After the incident in Lancheng, we went to rescue the survivors. Who knew that guy had captured some people and set a trap for them? It was full of mid-level and high-level zombies. If it weren't for our powerful guns and the mighty knife of the leader, we would have all been killed."
"Advanced zombies?"
Zhang Changming explained to him, "Now we classify zombies into low, medium, and high levels. Low-level zombies are the zombies we are familiar with. They are ugly, covered in rotten flesh, and have very low sense of smell and mobility. High-level zombies are very close to living people. They can speak, and at first glance, you can't tell they are zombies. Medium zombies are in between. Ordinary bullets can't do much damage to medium zombies. Apart from grenade launchers, in individual combat, basically only special bullets can restrain them. Fortunately, their proportion is not high, otherwise those few special bullets would not be enough."
Guo Teng felt a toothache. "So, this situation is pretty bad. What about the Zombie King?"
Lin Cheng said, "I've spoken with it. It's a fanatic. Its sole goal is zombie domination of the world. No room for negotiation. We're currently contacting other base cities further away for collaboration."
Guo Teng shook his head. "Then let's do it. It's fine if we can fight head-on, but that Fertility-Giving Guanyin Number One is the real pain in the ass."
"What happened to that?"
Guo Teng gave a somewhat odd expression. "You don't know, but from the news we've been hearing since then, that guy is practically a savior, having gained countless followers on the other side of the ocean."
"None of them are worrying." Zhang Changming muttered, and suddenly stopped what he was doing. He yelled, "Boss, this package is for someone special!"
Guo Teng slapped his forehead. "Look at me. I was so busy talking that I forgot to mention that there's a package Commander Lin gave you personally, and it's not on the list." He looked envious. "Your commander is so kind to you. He really treats you like his own son, right?"
Lin Cheng was half-believing and half-doubting, so he went to take a look. The outer layer of the square package was opened, and the inside was still tightly packed. The words "Lin Cheng's special person" were written on the front.
Would the commander do such a thing? And judging by the way the packaging was done, and the four characters written with such clarity and even childishness, this was probably...
Lin Cheng's heart moved, he squatted down and took a closer look, and became more certain. He stopped Zhang Changming from opening it and said, "I'll do it myself." But he didn't show any intention of moving, and it was obvious that he was not going to open it and take a look.
Guo Teng was a little disappointed.
After the people and supplies were distributed, the planes flew away again, and the group returned to the city at the foot of the mountain. It was already evening after the meeting. When Lin Cheng returned to his residence, his package had been placed on the table.
He began to unwrap the boxes, layer by layer, until he finally opened the last layer. Sure enough, there were food. There were three boxes of biscuits: one containing pale yellow finger biscuits, one containing something resembling toasted buns, and one containing burnt-brown, cookie-like biscuits. Mixed in with purple-red fruit particles were these… Lin Cheng sniffed them, then tasted a piece. The pure, velvety aroma of wheat and eggs permeated his mouth. And those fruit particles, if he was right, were mulberries?
Lin Cheng continued to look at other things. The big red apple wrapped in layers of water was fine, but these two lemons, were they for him to soak in water and drink?
There was also a transparent glass can with a reddish-brown sticky substance inside. When Lin Cheng opened it, a sweet smell mixed with the aroma of wheat hit his nose. Lin Cheng immediately thought of something - maltose.
He found chopsticks, stirred some and tasted it, and sure enough, it was sweet.
Lin Cheng was a bit amused. They'd said they'd send him food, and it had indeed arrived. Besides these little snacks, there were also serious food to fill his stomach. There were also quite a few compressed energy bars and biscuits wrapped in tinfoil. No idea what the ingredients were, but they all tasted pretty good. There were flavors like jujube paste, apple, corn, and egg.
There was even a smoked chicken at the end, with instructions on the side saying it was ready to eat and better heated.
Lin Cheng was silent for a moment. He actually had a strange feeling that he was traveling abroad.
"This little girl..."
In addition to the food, there were two full boxes of bullets.
Lin Cheng leaned against the window, slowly eating a piece of apple-flavored energy bar. It seemed a little strange at first, but it tasted better and better as he ate it. Looking at the exotic city under the sunset, he thought of the green and busy mountain.
It's only been a month since I came out, but I already want to go back.
…
Lin Man helped her mother, or rather her mother helped her, to make malt sugar and various biscuits. She also referred to the recipe of the energy bar from the Reunion Base and made energy bars with the flavor of the Peace Base. She was very generous with all the ingredients and basically used all the remaining wheat flour here. The taste of the food was surprisingly good.
After packing up all the things and sending them to the Reunion Base along with the 10,000 bullets, she felt relieved.
We don't have to rush so much for now.
She began to study the warning symbols.
Because she was the one who made the spiritual seal, naturally only she could sense the warning talisman she made, and it was impossible for her to teach others how to make the spiritual seal... She studied it for a long time and went to pester Guan Guan for advice.
Guan Guan is becoming more and more stylish now, as if his IQ is increasing with his body size. He thought for a long time and seemed to recall something. He told Lin Man that he could add a few hand gestures to make a pair of corresponding warning symbols. For example, if he wanted to give the pair of warning symbols to Lin Cheng, he could let Lin Cheng soak them with blood. Then he only needs to put one piece next to him and give one to someone else. When that person crushes the warning symbol, Lin Cheng's piece will also break at the same time, and he will immediately sense the position of the other person's piece - accurate to the meter.
Lin Man was very happy, but what hand gestures to add? She thought for a long time and added a "1" gesture after each hand gesture.
For the first pair of warning symbols, the hand gesture added is "1".
The second pair is "2".
Lin Man felt that he was very smart. It would be better if there was a 1 or 2 mark on the warning sign itself to make it easier to distinguish.
She first made a pair, asking her mother to help with the experiment. Chen Yu smeared her blood on two irregular jade plaques. She held one and asked Wu Hui—Grandma Wu's granddaughter, Lin Man worried that her presence would affect the effect—to hold the other and smear a drop of her blood on it as well. With one on the mountain and the other at the bottom, Wu Hui easily crushed the warning symbol smeared with her blood. Simultaneously, Chen Yu's piece shattered as well. Wu Hui's location automatically popped up in Chen Yu's mind.
Lin Man let it go and made her a warning talisman. This couldn't be made by those with special abilities, otherwise it would be made into jade beads that would be difficult to carry.
After much deliberation, she decided to make thumb-sized jade sticks, with corresponding numbers embossed on them, just as she had planned. It took her two months to make thirty pairs, and during those two months, something else happened at the Peace Base: nineteen more pregnant women appeared.
When the fourth baby appeared, everyone was shocked. When the fifth baby appeared, everyone was shocked again. When the sixth and seventh baby appeared... After being shocked so many times, we got used to it. It would be strange if we didn't hear that someone was pregnant again in four or five days.
Lin Man felt that these artificial humans were really hardworking. The number of people applying for marriage or cohabitation in the base had increased sharply. It seemed that everyone, regardless of gender, was very eager to have offspring.
The author has something to say: There is only one update today. This month's plan is basically to update once a month, occasionally adding more updates until it is finished. I feel that I was tired of writing in September (I am a clumsy writer and my speed is very slow), and my work and rest schedule is not very good. I want to relax this month. I hope everyone understands. Happy holidays everyone~~
