"Hey bro over there, wanna join the survivor base?"
"Our base offers low living conditions, a safe environment, and job opportunities!"
"You only need to put in a little effort to earn three meals a day!"
Lin Xue got out of the car carrying a large machete, and the zombies behind her quickly rushed towards her.
"Be careful, young lady!"
The village chief saw the other person get out of the car to greet him, and was about to get out himself when he saw several zombies rushing towards him from not far away.
Startled, he quickly stopped his hand from opening the car door, but still stuck his neck out of the car to warn Lin Xue.
"Uncle, don't worry, they're just a few zombies, they can't hurt me!"
The moment Lin Xue finished speaking, she kicked the charging zombie to the ground and then charged at the one behind it with her knife.
With just a few powerful moves, all the zombies fell at Lin Xue's feet.
Lin Xue's nonchalant actions completely won over Erzhuzi and the village chief.
Both of them looked shocked as they stared at the seemingly frail woman in front of them.
Then, recalling how cleanly and efficiently the other person killed the zombies, he immediately became respectful.
"Young lady, where is this base you're talking about? What do we need to contribute to join?"
Seeing that no zombies were coming out nearby, the village chief got out of the car and approached Lin Xue.
The villagers sitting in the carriage also craned their necks to look out of the carriage.
When they discovered that the village chief was talking to a strange little girl, they all became excited.
So far, they haven't seen any other survivors besides their own villagers!
That little girl is really pretty, and judging from the zombies lying on the ground behind her, she's incredibly strong.
If even a little girl is so capable, the villagers think their base must be very powerful as well.
"If it were a few years later, joining our base would likely require paying a heavy price, but for now!"
"Our base was recently built, and the entire base is my personal property. If you want to join our base, you'll have to work for me, but I can guarantee your safety!"
"Of course, there is another way, which is for you to find your own living supplies, pay me a certain amount of supplies each month, and you can also live in my base."
"However, I will not be responsible for any dangers that occur while you are away from my base searching for supplies!"
Lin Xue's meaning was clear: either you obediently work for me and I will provide you with food, clothing, and shelter, or you hand over enough supplies and you can come and go as you please.
Since the village chief hasn't seen Lin Xue's base yet, he can't immediately decide which method to choose.
So he asked tentatively.
"Can we take a look at your base first? What price will we have to pay if we want to leave someday?"
Lin Xue understood what the village chief was saying, so she briefly explained the situation at the base.
"If you want to leave my base, you only need to let any of the people in charge of the base know. You don't need to pay anything!"
"But after you leave, you can promote our base to other survivors, but you cannot betray the base!"
"Including but not limited to collusion with outsiders to seize ownership of my base!"
Hearing Lin Xue say this, the village chief breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally, everyone decided to follow Lin Xue to her base first.
When they arrived at Lin Xue's house, they saw the huge vegetable greenhouse and the thriving seedlings inside.
No one had any intention of leaving.
"This is where I live. Besides this, there are many other houses inside. You can choose any one to stay in, or you can choose one of these houses in front."
"From now on, I will open a door at the back of these houses. As long as you enter and exit from this side, you will be safe!"
Lin Xue briefly explained the situation to the group, then handed them over to Tian Shanchuan, asking him to guide them through the area.
After leading the villagers on a tour of the base, Village Chief Tang was very satisfied with the place.
Although this place is not as big as their village, it looks very safe, and the walls are very high, so zombies definitely can't climb in.
Most importantly, there is such a large greenhouse here where vegetables can be grown.
He had already seen the vegetables and grains growing inside.
This at least ensures they won't starve to death here.
Finally, Village Chief Tang and his villagers chose a luxurious house to live in.
Tian Shanchuan also told them that the number of people in the base would only increase in the future, and that this row of villas, where the boss lived, would definitely be safer than other places.
The villa has more than a dozen rooms, enough for the eight of them to live in.
On the second day, Tian Shanchuan led these people to start working.
"These are testing wristbands handed out by the boss. Each of you will wear one on your wrist. You have one hour to take care of your personal issues. After one hour, we'll go with the boss to dig for wild vegetables!"
Tian Shanchuan explained the functions of the watch to them, and then returned to his house.
This morning, Feng Yue made breakfast. Because there are more people eating now, the food is all prepared and then moved to the passageway under the flat roof to eat.
Breakfast was simple: a big pot of corn porridge, stir-fried canned meat with bok choy, and a bowl of pickled vegetables.
Although the food was simple, it was a rare treat for everyone!
Everyone cherishes every bite of food they eat.
In particular, the eight villagers who had just arrived from Tangjia Village all cherished and enjoyed their share of food.
After finishing her corn porridge, Lin Xue put down her bowl and turned her gaze to Feng Yue.
"Feng Yue's cooking skills are good. I'll go find some flour later, and you can steam some buns for everyone!"
Corn porridge can only fill you up with water; you still need to add a staple food.
What Lin Xue considered a perfunctory breakfast was a delicacy in the eyes of others.
Apart from Lin Xue, no one complained about the simple breakfast.
After all, they don't usually get to eat such good food.
After finishing her meal, Lin Xue began inspecting the vehicle.
In addition to her own pickup truck, a Dongfeng brand truck driven by villagers from Tangjia Village also drove out together.
When they arrived near the gas station, Lin Xue discovered that after two days of accumulation, a considerable number of zombies had arrived.
She had Erzhuzi park the Dongfeng truck on the side of the road, while she drove her pickup truck over to lure the zombies away.
After all, the truck that Village Chief Tang and his group drove was tall and imposing. As long as everyone stayed in the truck and didn't make a sound, and with Lin Xue leading the monsters, they wouldn't be threatened.
After Lin Xue lured all the zombies away and found a way to eliminate them.
Then he led everyone to the riverbank, to the lush green vegetable gardens.
