A month ago, cell phones started to have a signal. Yang Hong also trained a few people who were good at communications before the apocalypse, and had them modify everyone's cell phones before distributing them to everyone.
After receiving the modified phone, everyone was so excited they didn't know what to do.
That day, the phone rang incessantly throughout the base.
They're right next door, yet they still insist on making a phone call.
The novelty wore off after a week. Later, Han Junche, Qin Zhaoyang, and Hong established communication between the Starfire Alliance and the capital.
Incidentally, while they were repairing the base station, they also visited the base station in City B. They didn't hide anything and explained the situation directly, giving the City B base station two options.
There are two options: join them or leave.
Yang Hong bluntly told them, "We will start from the capital and restore the world from the apocalypse. You don't have to join us, but you must leave. Of course, let me make this clear: once the capital is back on track, we will reclaim the entire empire."
The base in City B is sandwiched between the Nine Lives Base and the Sirius Base. Moreover, due to the growth of the Starfire Alliance, many people left their base, greatly reducing their strength.
Upon hearing that Sirius Base, Starfire Alliance, and Nine Lives Base had joined forces, he chose to join them without hesitation.
Winter goes and spring comes, the ice and snow melt away.
Qin Zhao's return was put on the agenda.
However, at this point, there was still no news about inhibitors.
After communications were restored, Han Junche and Mr. Mei kept in touch. Although they were both anxious about the inhibitor, neither of them urged Academician Lu and the others.
Because Han Junche and Mr. Mei knew that the most anxious people were not them, but Academicians Lu and Ma, and the research team, because the inhibitor had not been developed for so long.
Gradually, the temperature rose, and the daytime high temperature has returned to above zero degrees Celsius.
Mr. Mei called Qin Zhao that day, his tone very relaxed: "Since we're just killing time anyway, let's start repairing the road. I'll send someone over, and you and he can lead the zombies to start repairing from the Starfire Alliance side. I'll also transfer some zombies from here to start repairing from the capital. Let's try our best to repair the road from the capital to the Starfire Alliance."
While road construction is important, it is not the only purpose.
Han Junche understood Mr. Mei's deeper meaning: he wanted the living to see that although zombies were terrifying, they were not entirely useless under control.
In addition, Mr. Mei also wanted to help everyone gradually get used to the way they interact with zombies.
The day after the phone call, Mr. Mei sent Ji Yunhai, a bigwig in the infrastructure industry, over.
Ji Yunhai and Qin Zhao, one on each side, quickly gathered all the zombies in the vicinity and began repairing the road.
Because of limited materials, it was impossible to build a paved road; we could only make the road smoother, but that was enough.
Then everyone saw a strange sight: those zombies, who could barely walk, were carrying baskets filled with soil and stones, and began to repair the road section by section.
At first, everyone was very scared. Understanding the situation was one thing, but actually seeing it was another.
Although they were afraid, they couldn't resist their curiosity and stood watching from a distance.
As the days went by, the people's initial fear gradually turned into a habit. Now, when they went out to find supplies, if they saw a zombie repairing the road accidentally fall down and couldn't get up, they would actually dare to stop and lend a hand.
Of course, even if someone lends a hand, it's just by holding a bamboo pole and helping out a little.
But this is a good start.
