Chapter 281 Returning to the Base



After settling down for the time being, I had a good afternoon rest.

No one expected that after being surrounded and blocked by zombies for half a day, they would almost be ambushed from behind.

It seems that someone who has always had a smooth life has almost forgotten some basic common sense.

I've experienced firsthand the wickedness of human nature.

It's a bit of a distance from here to the market, but there's no rush.

Let's rest first before we talk about it.

It's impossible today; we'll talk about it tomorrow.

After observing the surroundings for an entire afternoon, the zombies were kept out.

This is a shop facing the street, with residential units upstairs. The floors above the second floor have been sealed off, leaving only the bottom two floors open.

A wall was built outside the door to keep the zombies out.

To ensure safety, some precautions are still necessary.

We need someone to keep watch tonight. It's too close to the street; if the zombies surround us, even escaping will be a problem.

Being cautious and careful is a good thing, and it's never a big mistake.

The next day, I checked the surroundings and the situation was fairly good.

After getting everything ready, hurry towards the market.

There were still many zombies, so I came up with a plan.

We stopped on a street 500 meters from the vegetable market.

I found a house and stayed there for two days. I first lured a zombie over and wiped it out, and then there weren't as many zombies near the market.

I've been busy killing zombies non-stop for the past two days without a break. Later, when there were fewer zombies, we started taking turns resting.

We've gotten used to the high frequency of combat and there's nothing we're not used to.

Li Xiao took out all the food she had prepared beforehand. She was exhausted every day, so she wanted to eat something delicious to replenish her energy.

With delicious food, I didn't feel too tired.

Similarly, the more zombies you kill, the more crystals you collect.

They're all packed in bags, piled up in the space; there are already six or seven bags.

These crystals come in various colors and sizes, and I don't know what makes them different.

They haven't gone back and don't know much about the situation inside the base.

"It's time to go back. There are many things we don't know now."

"Yeah, let's go back and rest. We've been out for too long."

During a break that day, Yu Yanbin discussed this matter with everyone.

Cheng Shaolin also felt that he had been away from the base for too long, and not only was he out of touch with the news, he was also very tired.

"Then let's go back and rest for a while before coming back. We can't kill all the zombies," Meng Yang said, taking a sip of tea.

"When are you coming back? Are you done with work here?" Li Xiao asked.

"Well, we've been busy here for over a week now, and it's almost over. Let's go back after it's finished."

"Okay, it won't be more than two days."

Indeed, you've been here at the market for over a week now, so there are bound to be more zombies here.

Zombies are now mostly found in hospitals and vegetable markets.

However, having learned from their previous experience, they did not rush off there this time.

They stopped some distance from the market and, as before, began to rob and kill in batches.

Having learned from the previous experience, this time was much better. I wasn't as flustered and exhausted.

I felt much better, so I stayed a little longer.

The zombies have been mostly wiped out, with less than a third remaining. This is good news; with so few left, the pressure is much less.

After more than a week of hard work, the results were worth it.

It won't take more than 3 or 4 days to finish here.

"Xiaoxiao, shouldn't we make some food before we leave?"

Li Xiao smiled. "Of course."

"That's good. I don't even know if I'll be able to cook when I get back." Shao Jie said with a hint of unease.

"Whether we can do it or not, we have to do it."

"That's good. Make more then, and work for a few days before going back."

Li Xiao was amused even more by his words, "How many days do you want to work?"

Shao Jie thought for a moment and said, "At least three days."

Li Xiao burst out laughing, "I thought you were going to cook for a week straight."

Shao Jie laughed at himself, "How could that be? Three days should be enough."

Everyone burst into laughter.

Four days passed quickly.

The matter here has come to an end.

This morning, I started the important task of cooking to prevent my stomach from rebelling in the future.

I've already done most of what I've done for you. This time, I'm going to cook enough food to last at least half a month.

Plenty of rice, noodles, vegetables, fish, shrimp, dried goods, seasonings, and even some seafood. Of course, not fresh.

Some seaweed, laver, scallops, and dried fish still go unnoticed.

This time we found a larger location, a villa in a well-built villa area.

The villas here are quite far apart, with the nearest one being 200 meters away. It's almost impossible to smell anything while cooking here.

I took a walk around here before coming in. This villa complex is quite large, and there was no one inside.

This is perfect; it makes it convenient for them to stay here for a few days.

We chose a villa near the exit. This villa has two floors above ground and one floor below ground, making a total of three floors.

The villa was fairly clean; apart from dust, there was nothing else.

This must have been purchased before anyone moved in, which is convenient for them as they can move in without having to do a lot of cleaning.

The first floor of the villa was quite large, and everything had been cleared out, with the entire floor converted into a kitchen.

Stove, steamer, gas stove, basin, bucket... filled the ground.

Each person had their own task, washing, scrubbing, chopping, steaming, and boiling, keeping themselves busy and energetic.
