Chapter 151 Safe Zone
His smile remained as he pointed northwest, "Of course, the safe zone is in that direction. Walk straight for twenty minutes and you'll see a flat area with bright lights. That's the safe zone."
Now that Base No. 3 is under the management of Base Commander Zhang and Deputy Base Commander Jin, there's no need to pay any entrance fees or anything like that. As long as you haven't committed any crime, you can join."
Pu Zhi nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "On my way here, there was a heavy rain yesterday, and the zombies had evolved. Why don't I see any zombies here?"
Hearing Pu Zhi ask this, the soldier's smile was almost overflowing with pride: "It's a new generation of zombie scent shielding agent developed by Dr. Su. It works on those below level five!"
"Dr. Su?" Pu Zhi thought about the people he knew, and there was only one person with the surname Su.
The soldier slapped his forehead in frustration, having forgotten that Pu Zhi was new and didn't recognize Dr. Su. "It's Dr. Su Qingzhu. She used to be a genetics expert. When she joined the base, she was undermined by the notorious Lin Qiuzhi and Dr. Shang Xi. It was only after their deaths that Dr. Su Qingzhu's talents were truly realized."
Pu Zhi didn't expect Su Qingzhu to be so powerful. He thanked the soldier and gave him another piece of chocolate.
When the soldier saw the chocolate, his eyes widened. This thing was too precious, so he picked it up and wanted to return it.
Pu Zhi just smiled and raised his hand to make a gesture of silence. The soldier looked around and secretly breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that no one else saw it.
By the time he realized what was happening and wanted to return the chocolate to Pu Zhi, Pu Zhi had already disappeared.
He was both happy and angry at himself for being too slow, but then he thought that since Pu Zhi could give him such a precious thing, he would definitely not be short of it.
After figuring it out, he smiled and took the chocolate to share with his good friend who was also on duty. Pu Zhi drove slowly on the road in the temperature of -20 to -30 degrees Celsius, wearing only an ordinary down jacket and not even turning on the air conditioner.
As his level increased, or perhaps because of the Breath of Chaos, Pu Zhi's body's ability to resist cold and heat seemed to have increased a lot.
Following the direction pointed by the soldier, we walked along the simple gravel road and around a small hill several dozen meters high, and saw the brightly lit safe zone.
I didn't see any zombies along the way, only smelled a faint scent of medicine.
The safe zone is very simple, mostly consisting of tents made of rags, or some thatched and mud houses and wooden houses. Everything is built based on convenience, speed and light weight. Even if there is an earthquake, the probability of these things killing people is much lower.
There were not only lights but also fires in the lit areas. However, the temperature was too low and the house was not warm, so I could only endure it as I couldn't sleep.
Although everyone looked unhappy, no one said anything bad about the base. They were all criticizing the Future Association, Shang Xi, Wu Dao and others, and they also cursed Qin Xiu and Zheng Guan.
Base No. 1 would not tell them about this, so it must be He Bufan who told Base No. 3.
"Hey, if they really succeed in developing a potion for super powers, do you think we can also become super powers in the future?" A group of people who were warming themselves by the fire were chatting idly.
There was a small pot on the fire with a few potatoes in it, boiling in the water.
As soon as he said this, a girl couldn't help but retort, "Come on, haven't you seen Xishan and the others? Although they have superpowers, their memories are almost gone. Each of them has problems here or there. If the mysterious man hadn't killed Shangxi and the others, Xishan and the others would still be alive like puppets.
If Base One is so kind as to give you the supernatural potion, it must be to control you. Stop daydreaming."
The man was anxious and explained hurriedly: "I mean if, if!"
The people around also agreed with the girl's point of view: "Exactly, didn't you see that there were so many children, but only five survived? And those people in the glass jars were either dead or disabled."
One of the people who didn't know asked, "Why are they disabled? Were they beaten because they didn't obey the base?"
The woman waved her hands hurriedly. "What? The base commander and his men are so nice, how could they do such a thing? It's because they are still unfinished products, Shangxi hasn't researched them yet. So when they are released, most of them have physical problems and become disabled."
The man suddenly realized that he had just arrived at Base No. 3 and was not familiar with many things.
The girl looked at the man who was still obsessed with the fantasy of becoming a superpower, and poured cold water on him: "Let's not talk about how many people the experiment harmed. Even if it succeeded, everyone would be a superpower, and everyone would be the same. You wouldn't be able to become a superior person.
Furthermore, Base One has over 10 million people. Our Base Three has fewer people, only around 800,000 right now, but the five bases combined have a population of at least 20 million. With so many people all possessing special abilities, if your awakened abilities are average, you'll probably be stuck farming or sweeping the streets.
We have about three or four hundred psychics in our base right now, and at least a hundred of them have useless abilities. They do the same work as us ordinary people. If all 20 million of them were psychics, I can't imagine the chaos it would cause."
The woman's words successfully brought the man back to reality. Yes, only a few are lucky. Even if the times ushers in new changes, most ordinary people will still be ordinary people.
The conversation was still going on here. Pu Zhi listened while driving and learned a lot of useful information. At this time, they had already reached the outskirts of the safe zone.
The outermost area was guarded by a group of soldiers. There was a bonfire every few dozen meters. Three or five soldiers huddled together, warming themselves by the fire while paying attention to any abnormalities around them.
Pu Zhi's car was so eye-catching that they immediately came up to question him and eliminate any unstable factors.
It was too late, and she was a girl, so a tall soldier couldn't help but ask, "What's your name? Where did you go? Why are you back so late?"
Pu Zhi paused and replied with a faint smile, "Lin Dongyue, I just arrived here. The soldiers in the base said this is a safe zone, so I came here."
The soldier glanced at Pu Zhi suspiciously. "She's new here?" How could a weak woman like her be out in the open? Could it be...
"Are you a mutant?"
Pu Zhi nodded slightly and admitted it.
Suddenly, a short soldier next to him pulled the corner of the soldier who was talking to Pu Zhi and whispered a few words to him.
The tall man thought this made sense and asked hurriedly, "Are you Miss Lin Dongyue, who has been to Base No. 2? And there's a cheetah named Qianli with her?"
As he spoke, he looked through Pu Zhi's half-open car window toward the back seat, and sure enough, there lay a cheetah with extraordinary majesty.
