Chapter 462 Another Base

"Xiao Zhou, still can't get in touch?" General Lu asked.

The young man named Xiao Zhou sighed, his voice a little broken, "Yeah, we haven't been in touch for almost half a year, why don't they answer?"

General Lu also sighed, raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't be too anxious, you will get angry. You have been busy for so long, go and have a rest and drink some water, you have worked hard."

Xiao Zhou lowered his head, "Okay, thank you, sir."

After that, Xiao Zhou returned to the room.

General Lu turned to Yun Shuhuai and the others and said, "Sorry for the long wait. Let's continue walking."

Yun Shuhuai looked at Xiao Zhou, thought for a while, and said as he walked, "General Lu, may I ask what you just said about not being able to contact them? They haven't been able to contact them for more than half a year. Is it a certain team that is out on a mission?"

Lu Zheng shook his head. Coincidentally, they also reached their destination.

General Lu opened the door, "Please, let's go in and talk."

After entering the room, General Lu poured a cup of tea for the two of them, and then talked about what had just happened.

"There is one thing that I didn't publicize because it didn't really help the base. In fact, after the apocalypse, in addition to our base in H City, other places also built shelters. S City, located in the southwest, also has a military base like ours."

Yun Shuhuai nodded slightly. So that's how it is. She had heard of the S City base in her previous life. Because they were too far apart, the two bases had never had any actual exchanges.

If we take T City, where Yun Shuhuai used to live, as an example, the distance between H City and S City is about twice the distance between T City and S City, and there are almost four or five provinces in between.

But as military bases, the internal facilities must be better than those of civilian bases, and it is reasonable for them to be able to communicate with each other.

She remembered that the first ice-type psychic she met shortly after the apocalypse was Cheng Xiuyi, who was from S City.

When they parted, he drove with the two of them to S City in the opposite direction, and no one knew what was happening to them now.

Liang Yi also knew about S City, having heard about it from Lin Yan.

In fact, it was not surprising that there were other shelters outside the base, because no one would easily leave here and risk their lives to find other shelters that were unknown.

Now the H City base has developed quite well, and a batch of crops have been harvested under the promotion of the wood-type psychics. The taste of the crops has also improved a lot after the guidance of Yun Shuhuai.

If we can harvest like this a few more times, the food storage in the warehouse will be enough to cope with the next extreme weather. We can be self-sufficient in the future, and maybe we won't have to risk our lives to go out to find food.

In addition to the necessary food, the farm also grows vegetables and fruits. Most of the seeds and plants are provided by Yun Shuhuai.

Now only a small batch is produced, which is very expensive.

But as long as the production volume increases in the future, maybe everyone can eat fruits and vegetables.

Recently, the base has begun to plan to raise some small and easy-to-control mutant animals. Since ancient times, people will never compromise on improving the diet.

The shelter outside might not be as good as this place. Even the powerful psychics have never thought of leaving.

General Lu went on to say, "In the beginning, we were always in contact with them, exchanging ideas on how to deal with zombies. But because we were too far apart, we couldn't provide any practical help even if something went wrong. So later on, we just kept in touch, reporting safety every month, just to let each other know that we were okay."

At this point, General Lu sighed, "Later, I don't know what happened, but we contacted them less and less, and about half a year ago, we completely cut off contact with each other until today."

Liang Yi thought for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Well, could something have gone wrong over there?"

She had already thought of the worst case scenario.

Half a year ago, the corpse tide hadn’t appeared yet, and that was still in the south. Maybe…

General Lu shook his head, “I’m not sure, but before we completely lost contact, we contacted each other once. After reporting our safety, we wanted to communicate again, but before we finished talking, the other party directly disconnected. At first we thought something had happened, but more than a month later, we contacted again, and it was still the same operator. The other party said that the base was safe and nothing had happened. Later, the number of contacts became less and less, and the conversation time was the same.”

After listening, Yun Shuhuai said, “It sounds like the other party deliberately didn’t answer.”

"I feel the same." Liang Yi said, "It's like two people in love. They are sweet and loving at the beginning. They can't wait to talk on the phone for 24 hours every day. Later, it becomes dull and finally there is no love at all, so they go their separate ways."

Yun Shuhuai: ...

General Lu: ...

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?" Liang Yi asked.

Yun Shuhuai patted her shoulder while holding back his laughter, and whispered to her, "When did you become so funny? Be serious. Remember, you are a leader now."

Liang Yi looked at General Lu who had an expressionless face, and quickly said seriously, "Sorry, I was just joking."

Lu Zheng shook his head, "It doesn't matter, it's a very interesting metaphor. Young people have so many ideas."

Liang Yi smiled awkwardly, "No way, General Lu doesn't look old."

General Lu When General Lu didn't answer, Yun Shuhuai immediately came out to smooth things over and ease the awkwardness, "Um, General Lu, do you know why the other party deliberately didn't answer?"

Lu Zheng said, "I don't know. We just hope to be able to contact the other party and ask them. Recently, the base has developed rapidly with the help of everyone. As survivors, passing on our experience can also help more people."

Yun Shuhuai asked again, "Half a year, was it before the corpse tide? Could it be..."

"I don't know." General Lu sighed, "That Xiao Zhou, his home is in S City, so he is so anxious."

The two were silent. People like them who are always alone can have nothing to worry about in the end times.

Like Xiao Zhou, knowing that his important relatives were in the safe zone with him, but suddenly he could not contact them, and the corpses kept coming, and his family members were in danger of death, it must be very uncomfortable.

Yun Shuhuai sighed, "So that's how it is. This world is really a torture for the survivors."

"Yes."

General Lu also sighed, he took a sip of water and said seriously: "Okay, let's continue to talk about business, about Tianxiang's cooperation with us..."

They probably talked for another half an hour before they finished. At the end, Liang Yi and General Lu shook hands symbolically.

"Happy cooperation, Chief Liang."

"General Lu, happy cooperation."

The military had cooperated with Jiehuo before, so the things they discussed were similar to before, and some new things were added on this basis.

The previous cooperation was decided by General Qin and Qin Ye. Qin Ye took away a lot of the benefits, and very little fell to the military.

Now all the affairs in the base are handed over to General Lu, and he will not let this happen again.

Besides, Liang Yi is not such a person. Of course, her cooperation with the military is not for charity. She will not miss the benefits that she should take, and she will never take what she should not take. Both parties will trade fairly and complement each other.

Yun Shuhuai served as a third-party witness to ensure fairness and justice. If Qin Ye's situation happened again, she would intervene forcibly.

The conversation went smoothly, and Liang Yi couldn't stop smiling when he came out.

"Sister Yun, thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have dared to think about this before. I only thought that I could survive in the end times. I never thought I would achieve what I have now."

"It's not that you don't dare to think about it, it's just that you haven't reached the right position. When you are short of food and clothing, you will naturally want to eat and drink enough. After eating and drinking enough, you will also want to eat and drink fine food. People climb up step by step."

Yun Shuhuai looked at her and said, "I can see that you are an ambitious person. You can stand out from the many forces in the base, which shows that you are very capable. If you are mediocre, no matter how much I help you, it will be useless if you can't grasp it. Now is a great opportunity, remember to grasp it well."

Liang Yi nodded, and tears suddenly burst out of her eyes uncontrollably. She stepped forward and hugged Yun Shuhuai tightly.
