Chapter 84



The father and son were never found, but their information was obtained. One of them was a man named Li Ming, who claimed to be 32 years old. He was friendly, eloquent, and quite likable, so he was assigned a job cleaning the streets.

You have to know that with winter approaching and all supplies extremely scarce, having a job means having an income, and having an income means at least not starving to death. Even cleaning toilets is a job that countless people are eager to do.

The child is said to be three years old. Like his "mother", the female zombie, he has disheveled hair and always looks messy. Neighbors say that he doesn't move or talk, and doesn't look like a child of this age at all.

Li Ming's explanation was that the child was too weak and had not received nutrition in the womb, so his brain had not developed well. In other words, the child was stupid.

"I don't know if the child is stupid or not, but there's definitely something wrong with this Li Ming." Lin Man said with certainty, "Lin Cheng, what do you think?"

Lin Cheng said, "I agree with you. If a person were dull and insensitive, it's understandable that he wouldn't notice his wife's abnormality, but this Li Ming is clearly very agile and resourceful... I just don't know what role this Li Ming plays with this zombie, or in other words, is he actually human or zombie?"

Nan Ming's brows were furrowed, his face turning dark. "Could he be a zombie?"

"Chief Nan, never underestimate your enemy. We clearly underestimated the zombie's camouflage ability before. It can pretend to be a silent woman, so why can't it go one step further and disguise itself as an articulate man?"

Nan Ming looked ashamed and guilty, and immediately ordered a full curfew at the base, requiring everyone to hide in their houses and not come out, and sent people to search every place.

When Nan Ming was leaving, Lin Man whispered to Lin Cheng, "Can he do it?" In her eyes, this base leader was almost equated with incompetence.

Lin Cheng smiled and said, "He's just been comfortable for too long, and he's always been the one who says what he means. There's no pressure and no competition, so he probably hasn't adapted yet."

Lin Man thought to himself, no wonder they need to borrow people. When the zombies appeared before, their base couldn't organize any effective manpower at all. There was chaos everywhere. Even if the important people accompanied Lin Cheng out, the internal situation was still too empty and lacking in organization and discipline. Isn't it? Peace Base must not be run like this.

She suddenly thought of something and continued in a low voice, "Well, I just killed three zombies, all with jade needles. If someone finds out, can you help me fool them?"

"That's not a problem. We'll just have them destroy the zombies later."

"Are they willing? It seems to me that they want to study those zombies."

That requires the necessary conditions and technology. The situation is complicated right now. What if someone with ulterior motives steals something?... After a zombie dies, anything on its body becomes infectious. Even if only a fingernail or two is removed, it can infect a large number of people. "This kind of thing happened frequently back then, and even several bases were destroyed there."

Lin Man thought about the consequences and felt it was quite scary: "Then it's better to destroy it as soon as possible... There shouldn't be any traces left. Those three were shot in the head, and the jade needle is broken. Even if the bullet hit the side, no one will check the bullet, right?"

"Don't worry, no one's that idle." Lin Cheng asked, "But the jade needle? Did your needle change from iron to jade?" Can jade really be used as a weapon? So the knife you're giving him is really made of jade?

His eyes couldn't help but move to the cloth-wrapped thing on Lin Man's back.

Lin Man really wanted to say that your knife is also made of jade, which is amazing, but then he saw Nan Ming coming back again, so he immediately shut his mouth and kept silent.

Lin Cheng glanced at Nan Ming indifferently.

Nan Ming: Did he destroy something? Go ahead, just keep talking, just pretend I don't exist.

Nan Ming was embarrassed for a moment, trying to find something to say: "You both have the surname Lin, so are you brother and sister? I haven't heard you mention that you have a sister, Lin Cheng?"

Lin Man looked at Lin Cheng and said, "I guess so."

Lin Chengji smiled faintly and said nothing, but Nan Ming had a feeling that he had said something wrong.

Alas, he is an elder, but what happened today really made him unable to stand up straight.

Nan Ming didn't want to get close to him anymore, so he said directly, "Lin Cheng, I'm looking for someone in the base, but I need your help to guard the perimeter of the base. We can't let Li Ming escape. No one in the base can be let out until we find him!"

Nan Ming's expression was very serious.

After hearing this, Lin Man couldn't help but change his opinion of him. The fact that he could say this showed that he was still very clear-headed. Not only was he clear-headed, but he was also willing to sacrifice himself for the greater good.

Lin Cheng said, "Don't worry, Chief Nan, I will make the arrangements immediately."

Nan Ming sighed, "I originally borrowed your men to guard against the outside, but I didn't expect to have to guard against the inside... What's going on?" Before he could finish his words, someone hurried over: "Zombies, zombies have appeared again!"

Everyone's faces suddenly changed. Nan Ming shouted, "Where are you? Why are you here delivering a message? Is the communicator just for show?"

The man took two breaths and said, "It's resolved."

Everyone: “…”

When they rushed over, there was already a row of zombies lying on the ground. There were not many this time, only five in total, because the first two zombies were seen as soon as they jumped out to bite people. The three closest to them were scratched and there was nothing they could do. The others were rescued.

Lin Man took a look and saw that they were her new warriors, more than 200 of them. No wonder they subdued the zombies so quickly.

When these people saw Lin Man, they stared at her, especially the three veteran captains, who had a look of resentment in their eyes: "You didn't leave any instructions. We waited and waited for you to come back, so we came out to look for you. We left a few people to watch over those nine people."

The veteran captains thought they were great marksmen, but they were just a fraction too slow and were left behind. The newcomers' drive was truly impressive. They selectively forgot the fact that they and the "newcomers" were from the same era.

"Ahem." Lin Man reviewed, "Sorry, something delayed me." In fact, he had completely forgotten about them. The more than 20 people who grabbed the helicopter position and followed Lin Man afterwards had been tortured with eyes.

Lin Cheng checked all five bodies. He stared at the two bodies, one large and one small, which were the most decayed, and fell into deep thought.

Nan Ming said: "Judging from their physical features, it is very likely that they are Li Ming and his son."

Lin Man hurriedly looked over: "Is this them? Are you sure?"

Nan Ming: "I have asked someone who has seen them to identify them."

Lin Man came closer to Lin Cheng: "What do you think?"

Lin Cheng shook his head slightly and said nothing. After a while, many people came to identify them, and they all said, "They look very similar in figure." "Should they be?" "I think they are pretty close. They match each other."

But no one dared to say definitively that it was Li Ming and his son. This was normal. After all, the corpse had been so decomposed that the entire face was deformed, which was extremely horrifying. Some people didn't even dare to take a closer look and could not identify it with certainty.

Lin Cheng stood there without saying a word. Lin Man looked at those people and then at him. Seeing that they were about to make a conclusion, he couldn't help but poke him: "Why don't you say something."

Lin Cheng didn't answer her, but asked Nan Ming: "What do you think, Chief Nan?"

Nan Ming smiled and said, "I think it must be them. With a big one and a small one showing up at the same time, who else could it be but them? Well, so far, all the hidden dangers have been eliminated. We can finally sleep peacefully."

Lin Cheng said: "But from now on, people entering the base must be strictly checked."

"Right, right, right! Who let this family of three in? They must be apprehended and severely punished. Do you know they nearly caused a tragedy?"

It looked as if everything was fine and that everything would be fine after some cleanup work. Everyone was very happy, as if they had been reborn after a disaster.

Lin Cheng and Lin Man looked at this and that, seemed to understand something, but said nothing.

Nan Ming offered to treat Lin Cheng and Lin Man to a meal, but Lin Cheng said, "No, I left so many people outside the base. I'll make arrangements for them first." He then said to Lin Man, "Everything's fine now. You can take the people back. Is there anything you want to give me, or for me to pass on to the commander?"

Lin Man looked at his outstretched palm, then saw that he looked serious and didn't seem to be joking. His eyes widened slightly, as if he was very surprised. When he realized what was happening, he laughed: "Sorry, I forgot to bring it again." After saying that, he ignored Lin Cheng's stunned expression and turned around coldly: "Let's go, let's go back!"

Oh my god, do you think she's stupid? These two are clearly acting, singing the same tune. Does Lin Cheng think she's been fooled like everyone else? Does she have a stupid face?

She wanted to wait until there was no one around to listen carefully to what he planned, but he actually wanted to send her away so carelessly. I was so angry!

Lin Man walked to his own transport plane in one breath, still angry. Looking at the various packed foods inside, he really wanted to pack them all up and take them back.

The group followed her in silence, watching her pace back and forth as if she was about to spit fire. No one dared to persuade her, and they were all confused. Why did she suddenly become so angry? The nine second-generation rich kids who had been waiting there eagerly saw Lin Man's expression and didn't dare to come closer.

The captain of the first squad was the one who knew her best, so he was ruthlessly pushed out: "Boss, are we leaving or not?"

"How would I know?" Let's go. Apparently, Li Ming is still wandering around without knowing it. If we don't leave, who knows what Lin Cheng's plans are? What if she accidentally ruins them?

Lin Man irritably brushed away the strands of hair on his forehead. "I'll call the base first and tell them to be careful."

Dayan Mountain has also taken in a lot of survivors recently. Although she has personally visited each of them and found no problems with any of them, what if they happened to take in a few people with problems like Li Ming when she was away!

I don't know if this guy is a human or a zombie. He's causing too much trouble and even found a scapegoat for himself. I wonder what big move he's planning.

The liaison plane was on the transport plane, and Lin Man stepped on it.

In a transport plane off to the left, an eye glued to the glass window silently watched the scene unfold. Then, looking away, the man gently tapped the control panel. Things should be going as planned. These people should finally be leaving, right?
