Chapter 87

Those who are struggling to survive see hope, while those with ulterior motives are alarmed.

Fu Erdie listens to the daily information reported by the community every day, and also switches channels on time at 20:00 every day to listen to the news from the D City base or other bases.

As time went on, bases of all sizes in various parts of the Flower Country gradually developed their own channels for communication and information exchange.

It seems that most survivors have a good idea of ​​what to do and can trade with nearby bases when they need something for daily survival.

However, as far as the D City base and the butterfly garden are concerned, this kind of information exchange is often limited to the local area, and the situation in more distant places is not so clear.

After all, for many bases, distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. Even if they occasionally know how well D City is doing or how well the butterfly garden is doing, it has nothing to do with people who are often a thousand or two thousand kilometers away.

They would come to the D City Base's channel to listen to the conversations between the D City Base and the Butterfly Garden, and receive information from the D City Base, but would not tell their own information.

This uncertainty became more prominent after it was confirmed that most bases had been occupied by people with special abilities and that the ordinary people previously rescued by the government had been driven away.

Because for the superpowers who took over the base, they belonged to the "new school" who were all "elites". The D City base, where the management had not changed, belonged to the old school.

The "new school" would still symbolically turn on the telegraph machine at 20:00 every day and use the little electricity to listen for any news.

The power of telegraph machines in many small bases is completely maintained by the little bit of solar power generated. They are reluctant to waste any more, so as soon as 20:00 arrives, they can't wait to contact the person they want to contact, send and receive messages as quickly as possible, and turn off the phone immediately after receiving useful information.

It was originally agreed that the telegraph would be operated for half an hour every day regardless of whether there was news or not. Gradually, this was reduced to only twenty minutes, then ten minutes, and now even only five minutes.

The telegraph machines in the small base were purchased from the large base with technical personnel. If they broke down during use and could not be repaired in time for various reasons, these telegraph machines would basically be useless.

Gradually, more and more people had telegraph machines, but the information Fu Erdie and City D received did not increase. Sometimes when I visited other bases' channels, I even found that some bases were using mute messages, and the translated words were not in pinyin or English, but in other languages, or even in English, they clearly meant different things.

This made the External Relations Department of City D a little confused and annoyed.

Fu Erdie and his group were playing as they walked, and they had the leisure to listen to telegrams from other channels from time to time. In the end, they didn't get any useful information, and they just kept walking and sightseeing.

By the end of January, they had only traveled 700 to 800 kilometers, stopping and starting on their way.

On January 24, when Fu Erdie and a few others were planning to park the plants on the first floor of Building No. 7 by the river and then take the plants into a box truck and go home to provide monthly treatment to the people in the community, they suddenly noticed that there was a zombie tide of 300,000 people 130 kilometers away from the river bank.

They are led by the Zombie King and seem to be surrounding a certain area with a purpose.

Fu Erdie noticed this and let the house dock and slowly move towards the target location. The four of them went ahead to deal with the Zombie King.

This time the handling was very easy. The Zombie King was just an ordinary fourth-level zombie. He was very dangerous to the local organization, but for the four of them, it was really easy.

After obtaining all the crystal cores of this batch of zombies, Fu Erdie discovered that the direction he came from behind was on fire.

They hurried back and saw that it was indeed their Building No. 7 that was burning. The entire Building No. 7 was on fire, and the plant cubs had all shrunk into the building, no longer able to move their feet to keep the building moving forward.

Fu Erdie pursed her lips, rushed into Building No. 7 quickly in the flames, used her special powers on the house, and then used the faucet in the house that suddenly increased the pressure and volume of water to wash away the surrounding fire.

Sang Wenhao, Han Zhi and Cen Xiyang did not rush in, but relied on Han Zhi's shared vision to quickly find the mutant zombie who set the fire.

It turned out to be a fourth-level zombie.

They quickly dealt with the zombies that launched a sneak attack, and cooperated with Fu Erdie to control the fire and put it out.

This time the fire did not cause any damage. After all, the defense of the fifth-level house is very strong. With the doors and windows closed on all sides, the entire building is sealed into a closed space. The main part of the house is protected on the outside, and the plant part is all hidden inside. No matter how it burns, it is impossible for the flames of the fourth-level superpower zombies to burn through it.

Even if some places are burned black, the house can recover quickly thanks to its own self-healing ability.

But Fu Erdie just felt uncomfortable, the kind of discomfort that seemed like a good vacation was being interrupted and was about to end.

This is just a small town, and it seems to be a relatively normal situation where the zombie king leads a wave of zombies to find the target base. But when the zombie king himself is only level 4, how can he cooperate with another level 4 zombie?

One was responsible for the open action, and the other was responsible for the secret observation and sneak attack. This seemingly strategic action made Fu Erdie feel that it would be more difficult to deal with the zombies later.

Because this means that the mutant zombies have already acquired the intelligence of normal people.

But if that was the case, why didn't they go out when their teammates were attacked, but instead went to attack Building No. 7 in the rear?

Was this a plan from the beginning? Then where did they know about Building No. 7?

If they knew anything, they should know the approximate level of Fu Erdie and his group.

Since he knew their general level, why did he fight them like he was going to die, instead of just running away? No matter how he looked at it, there was a bit of a contradictory temptation in it.

Fu Erdie thought about it and felt that the plan to go back should be changed. He couldn’t take the house back and leave only the plant cubs here.

Plants are not smart enough to learn how to use telegraphs to keep in touch with the community at all times.

So this time, she decided to let Sang Wenhao take the house back alone in the electric car, and she, Cen Xiyang and Han Zhi would all stay by the river with Building No. 7, or even stay in the middle of the river.

that is……

Fu Erdie looked at her boyfriend, with whom she had never been apart since they first met in the first year of the apocalypse, and all kinds of emotions surged in her heart.

Perhaps it was the end of the world that deepened their bond and dependence on each other, and she felt a reluctance and worry that she had never felt before.

She looked at Sang Wenhao, Sang Wenhao looked at her, and the two looked at each other reluctantly, until they were interrupted by Cen Xiyang who couldn't stand it anymore.

"You all, go back together!" She pointed at the electric cars stored in the building, "Leave now, don't act out some life-and-death farewell here!"

Fu Erdie shook her head: "I'm worried about you."

Cen Xiyang just thought she was being hypocritical, and slammed the table: "How come there are so many fifth-level mutants, and he is a spiritual type! I am also a ranged attacker to some extent! If I am killed like this, then I am too useless!"

Fu Erdie frowned and wanted to say something, but Cen Xiyang quickly packed her things up and stuffed them into the electric bike.

After Fu Erdie compromised with a helpless look on her face, Cen Xiyang continued, "Trust us. The two of us have guarded the community for so long before, there is no reason why we can't guard it now. And we are not fighting alone. The green ivy and succulents are also guarding here together. How can there be any problems?"

Fu Erdie took a deep breath.

This time they were the attackers, and a building was too big a target. If there really were some particularly powerful zombies with special abilities... or even people with special abilities targeting them, she would be worried.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"I'll be back soon, be careful."

She left all the dandelions here and told them that if they were in danger, the plants would sink to the bottom of the river to avoid attacks from outside. Cen Xiyang and Han Zhi flew high on the dandelions.

The tallest dandelion here has four levels, which can allow two people to fly very high.

Cen Xiyang nodded repeatedly and let them go.

Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao then controlled the electric car and the box truck to fly out of Building No. 7. After Building No. 7 turned into a pancake floating on the water and a white light jumped into the box truck that Fu Erdie was going to take back, the two sides formally said goodbye.

Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao, who had already learned to drive, took turns driving for a day and a night to cover a distance of 800 kilometers. After driving around many congested roads, they returned to the community the next morning.

The properties of the house are very special. Its special abilities cannot be copied and used by Fu Erdie, and the place where it can land is still an "old object" like a box truck, as well as Building No. 7, or to be more precise, the place where the original body of 16-1 is.

Now the main body has left the community, and the energy body has returned to the community, but it cannot directly land and provide coverage. Instead, it has to use the box truck as the main body and extend out from the ground.

As soon as it extended, the entire community, regardless of whether they had seen Fu Erdie and his group return or not, instantly noticed something different and began to look around.

Fu Erdie and Sang Wenhao were tired from traveling, so they raised the box truck and electric car and parked them on the roof of Building No. 6. Then they asked the house to treat its own family first, and then, under the arrangement of their own family, they would treat the foreign supernatural persons who were qualified and willing to use the corresponding number of visits. After giving the instructions, they took a nap with Sang Wenhao.

After waking up at three o'clock in the afternoon, when most of the people who needed treatment in the community had been treated, she went to find out about the situation of the plant cubs in the community this month and read the news sent by Cen Xiyang in Building No. 7.

Building No. 7 is very safe, and the community has gradually dealt with the 70,000 to 80,000 zombies attracted by the psychics. It has added one third-level plant, three second-level plants, and dozens of new plants that have been officially stabilized to the first level.

After confirming these situations, Fu Erdie did not wait for the Spring Festival in early February. She only stayed in the community for one night before setting off again, preparing to meet up with Cen Xiyang and others in Building No. 7.

However, this time, Fu Erdie did not go straight to the destination, but walked while bringing out tens of thousands of dandelions from the community.

There was no threat in the northwest direction, and the southeast direction was the direction they were heading. For the time being, there was nothing that could cross Building 7 and threaten the community. However, there were some places in the other directions that could not be taken care of for the time being.

Fu Erdie released many dandelion babies to hunt in the wild. They ate when they could, and stood guard when they couldn't. After they had roughly cleaned up the cities along the Li River for a while, they would come to find them.

If they still want to stay in the community, or want to follow Fu Erdie, Fu Erdie will take them with her again.

She spent three days planting dandelions on all the routes within a 300-kilometer radius where the zombie tide might arrive.

With Dandelion doing some surveillance and protection, and with the device that the D City base has now developed that can detect high-level mutant zombies within a range of 500 kilometers, the security of the base camp is now under another lock.

The two of them rushed with a box car and finally arrived at Building No. 7 before the Spring Festival and reunited with Cen Xiyang, Luoluo and others.

During this period, Building No. 7 did not encounter any major incidents, but it encountered a lot of minor troubles that were visibly encountered.

Many fire zombies approached the river bank of Building No. 7 indistinctly, set fire to this place, and ran away, leaving no time for Cen Xiyang and his companions to fight back.

Looking at the zombies holding burning fireballs and throwing them at Building No. 7, for a moment, Cen Xiyang suspected that they were not zombies with special powers at all, but people with special powers.

But Han Zhi's vision could not be wrong. They could clearly see the corpse spots on the bodies of those mutant zombies.

"It's very strange. They have corpse spots, but they are not as scary as other zombies or those superpowered zombies we have seen before." Cen Xiyang felt very strange when he thought about it. "Some of them look like superpowered zombies that have only died a few days ago. But if that's the case, they should only be level one."

Cen Xiyang briefly mentioned these situations on the telegraph, but the few words on the telegraph could not compare to the surprise of what he actually saw.

On the Spring Festival, Fu Erdie saw the mutant zombie that Cen Xiyang had mentioned often harassing her.
