Chapter 362
Abandoning the Shouxing Town base and moving to other places was unacceptable to many survivors, because most of the people here were locals and it was hard for them to leave their hometown. Now they were asked to give up their hometown, how could they accept it? As a result, as soon as the news spread, there was an uproar in the base, and many people protested to Zou Haiyang and other management.
However, Zou Haiyang has explained the seriousness of the situation to other managers. This time they all stand firmly on Zou Haiyang's side. If they do not act ruthlessly at this time, it will only lead to more serious consequences.
Zou Haiyang didn't have much time left for everyone. After two days, he led everyone out. Those who didn't want to leave could stay.
Most of the survivors who had protested against them before followed them, because they knew very well that without the protection of the psychics led by Zou Haiyang and others and the warriors who had cultivated internal energy, they would be in danger of losing their lives at any time. Although they complained, they did not slow down at all, for fear that Zou Haiyang would really abandon them.
But there were also some conservative people who stayed, determined to die in their hometown. There were also some older people who did not want to hold back the younger generation and become a burden to them. Zou Haiyang and others had no choice but to harden their hearts and leave without looking back.
After more than half a month's trek, they encountered attacks from zombies and strange beasts several times on the road, and there were casualties every time. But when they finally arrived at the Hope Base, the size of the entire team not only did not shrink but expanded, because other survivors came to join them along the way, and the people in Shouxing Base also learned about the situation in other places from them, which made their resentment towards Zou Haiyang and others subside, and they even felt grateful.
Because one of the survivors who joined their team escaped from a small base. Facing the attacks of zombies and monsters, their base could not withstand it at all. The leadership of the base was the first to abandon the base and escape with their people. The remaining survivors could only flee in all directions. However, less than one-third of the people escaped.
The people of Shouxing Town thought they were in a miserable enough state, but they didn't expect that the group of people they met were even more miserable than them. Their situation was not much better than that of the refugees in ancient times. They even failed to bring much supplies with them because they fled in such a hurry. If the people of Shouxing Town had not supported them with food, they might not have been able to reach the Hope Base.
This made them terrified, but they were also glad that Zou Haiyang and his team did not abandon them like the leader of the small base and just run for their own lives. Even on the way, Zou Haiyang and his team fought desperately with zombies and monsters, and they were lucky to survive.
"Look, the wall of Hope Base is in front of us. Their wall is so high and big, it can definitely stop the zombies." Facing the increasingly powerful zombies, the protective wall of the small base was as fragile as paper and could not play any defensive role at all.
"But will the base accept us? Can we find a job there to support our family?"
"I think so. Hope Base is different from other bases. Just think about it, ordinary people can also cultivate internal energy. The method came from Hope Base. This shows that the top leaders of Hope Base are not like other bases who only praise people with special abilities and do not regard ordinary people as human beings."
"I haven't heard of it. I hope the base has developed an antidote so that we can be saved even if we are bitten by a zombie."
"That's great. I regret not coming to Hope Base earlier."
This wave of survivors was not the first to come to the Hope Base. When the situation outside became more and more serious, the base also issued a mission to search and rescue the survivors. The survivors brought back were not left alone, but were all invested in the construction of the outer city.
The base was constantly expanding and was in need of people, so the base welcomed this group of survivors who came here voluntarily. After a series of work such as inspection and registration, these survivors were quickly settled down and assigned to various positions according to their specialties and abilities.
While busy, Ling Shaoyang heard a name: "Zou Haiyang from Shouxing Base? Did he come alone?"
The assistant beside him reported: "They brought the entire Shouxing base to surrender. Although some personnel were lost on the way, the situation is much better than other small bases."
Ling Shaoyang nodded. If Yuan Jing could catch his eye, he certainly wouldn't be too bad. If he only cared about his own survival, he wouldn't be worthy of attention. "First put him in the position of middle-level management to manage this group of new survivors."
"OK."
Ling Shaoyang didn't go to see Zou Haiyang specifically, but he still told Yuan Jing about it to reassure him.
Yuan Jing thought about it and decided not to meet him. The friendship of the previous life was a matter of the previous life. This life had its own fate. When Zou Haiyang climbed to a high position in the future, they would naturally have the opportunity to get along with each other, but it would be difficult to be like in the previous life.
Yuan Jing didn't feel any regrets. At least this time, everyone would live well, right? That was enough.
Zou Haiyang and his group were given important positions and had no time to think about anything else. They devoted themselves to the construction of the new base. Everything they saw at the Hope Base made them not regret coming here. The Hope Base was much better than their previous Shouxing Base. This group of new survivors quickly adapted and consciously changed their identities, considering themselves to be part of the Hope Base.
Even when they talked about the two leaders of the base in their spare time, they mostly expressed admiration. Thinking about the time when they had met Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing, it has only been a short time and the difference between them is so big.
"If only we had come to Hope Base earlier, otherwise Old Chen wouldn't have..."
It's a bit sad to bring up this topic. The Lao Chen they are talking about is the one who unfortunately turned into a zombie after fighting with zombies. They can only kill their companions who have been completely turned into zombies with their own hands. In addition to him, there are several other companions. If they had come to the Hope Base earlier and had the antidote, they would still be alive and well.
"Uncle Zou, Uncle Xia," several active children ran in happily. When they arrived at the new base, they regained their smiles. "People from the big base have come to our Hope Base. Many people have gone out to watch the fun."
"Big base? What are they doing here?" Xia Wenhai asked.
"Uncle Xia is so stupid. Of course he came to our Hope Base to exchange the antidote."
Well, even a child knows this, but he, an adult, still has doubts. Xia Wenhai laughed and said, "Let's go out and see what's going on."
Zou Haiyang also smiled and shook his head. He was dragged out by them to watch the fun. It seemed that the Hope Base was established not too long ago, but now it can stand on equal footing with the big bases.
Although Zou Haiyang is very busy now, he is much more relaxed mentally than before, because now he does not have to bear the future of the entire survivors of the base, and he does not have to worry about his own decisions that will bring about the end of everyone in the base. During that time, he was very tense mentally, and after coming to the Hope Base, he can finally unload the burden on his shoulders.
The first large base to arrive at the Hope Base was the H City Base, which was relatively close to the Hope Base. They passed the inspection in the newly modified cars and entered the Hope Base. Luo Sheng and Zhong Wenzhou, who were sitting in the front car, were the leaders of this team. Luo Sheng was in charge of the martial arts, and he was also a thunder-type psychic. He really wanted to fight with Ling Shaoyang from the Hope Base to see who was more powerful. Zhong Wenzhou was in charge of the negotiations.
Zhong Wenzhou looked at the scenery outside with great interest, and said to cool guy Luo Sheng: "You have to admit that Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing are both very capable. It has only been a short time, and they have built this Hope Base into its current size. Although it is only a medium-sized base now, if they continue to develop, it is not impossible for it to become a large base in the future."
Luo Sheng glanced at him and said, "Since you are so interested, why not just come over and join them."
Zhong Wenzhou laughed: "Recognizing others' strengths cannot be equated with whether I want to join them. There are many people interested in them now, and it's not my turn. Look, the bird flying in the sky, is it also from the exotic animal garden of the Hope Base? How do you think Yuan Jing can control these exotic animals?"
The H City base also has a psychic-oriented mutant. His ability is to communicate with strange beasts, but it is considered good if he can control two or three strange beasts. But I heard that when they first came here, they brought twenty or thirty beasts with them, and they were marching on the road in a mighty procession, which was a spectacle.
Luo Sheng looked at the eagle circling in the sky, fear flashing in his eyes. If he fought alone, perhaps Yuan Jing would not be his opponent, but the other party also had this kind of group attack skill, and if he ordered those strange beasts to besiege him, he would also have a headache.
Zhong Wenzhou continued, "In addition to controlling strange beasts, I heard that he is also a poison-type mutant. Tsk tsk, this kind of ability is really rare. If he wants to deal with someone, people will be caught off guard. There are also rumors that the antidote came from his hand. Just based on his abilities, no matter which base gets him, it will be equivalent to the strength of several teams of mutants. Ling Shaoyang is really smart. He has already determined his status."
Luo Sheng said coolly: "There is no corner in the world that cannot be pried open. You can try. If you can dig Yuan Jing to our H City base, you will get the first-class credit."
Zhong Wenzhou wanted to give it a try, but when he thought about the strength that Ling Shaoyang had displayed according to what he had heard, he decided to give up. He might be turned into charcoal by Ling Shaoyang before he even took any action.
"Forget it. When it comes to charm, I am far inferior to you, Luo Sheng. How many people in our base want to marry you, Luo Sheng? If you make a move, your chances of success will definitely be much greater than mine. Aww~" Just when he said this, Zhong Wenzhou shouted, "Just talk, don't do it, you are trying to attract me again. Forget it, let's not talk about it. Ling Shaoyang is not without background. His grandfather is General Ling of the Imperial Capital. If he can't make it here, he can go back to the Imperial Capital."
The other people in the team were also looking at the scenery and survivors outside with great interest, and found that this place was not worse than their H City base. The survivors all looked good, and they had the leisure to watch them, pointing at their convoy and talking and laughing. Only when life is good can one show such a side of themselves.
The convoy stopped because the people who received the news had arrived to greet them. The person leading them pointed to the person in front and introduced him, "That's Lu Qi, the director of the Hope Base. He was one of the first people to follow Ling Shaoyang and Yuan Jing. His lover Xiang Zhou also holds an important position in the base."
