Deathly silence enveloped the temporary meeting room.
The wind and snow were still blowing outside the window, reflecting the extremely solemn faces of Han Yi, Lei Zhennan and Lin Rui.
The crystal cores scattered on the table seemed to carry some kind of ominous omen, emitting a cold and strange light.
After a long time, Han Yi broke the silence first, and the fatigue in his eyes was replaced by a sharp determination.
"Da Lei, Lin Rui," his voice was low, but it carried an unquestionable command, "Immediately distribute all the crystal cores we've seized this time to every psychic. Have them carry them close at hand as backup!"
Lei Zhennan and Lin Rui nodded immediately without any hesitation.
They all knew what that brief absorption experience just now meant.
Han Yi took a deep breath, his eyes swept across the vast snow outside the window, his tone heavy but very clear:
"I don't know why, but I always feel that... there will be another wave of zombies coming soon, and I'm afraid it will be more dangerous than before."
This is not groundless speculation, but a beast-like intuition honed after countless times on the brink of life and death.
"besides."
He looked at the two of them, his eyes becoming sharper.
"Notify everyone. From now on, for the next few days, no one is allowed to leave their building without my order!"
"All first floors must be cleared immediately!"
"All doors and windows leading to the outside world must be reinforced! Have the metal-powered people in the team do it immediately and make sure they are sturdy!"
"All the elderly, women, and children in the base have been moved to the fifth floor and above for centralized living."
"Tell them that all curtains must be drawn and that no one should go near the windows unless necessary!"
"Finally, starting tonight, the number of people taking turns keeping watch will be tripled! Any unusual movements must be reported immediately!"
At this moment, Han Yi's expression was serious, but his mind was extremely clear.
Faced with this sudden sense of crisis, he quickly built a defense line that was as solid as possible.
Lei Zhennan and Lin Rui looked at each other and saw solemnity in each other's eyes, but more of a determination to carry out orders.
The two of them immediately split up and quickly conveyed and implemented Han Yi's instructions.
The entire temporary base was like a huge machine, running in a suppressed and efficient manner under Han Yi's command.
After arranging the main defense deployment, Han Yi quickly walked towards the room where Zheng Sisi, who was in charge of logistics, was.
"Zheng Sisi," Han Yi's tone softened slightly, but remained serious, "there is something I need you to arrange."
Seeing his expression, Zheng Sisi's heart tightened and she nodded quickly: "Captain Han, you go ahead."
"For the next few days, please refrain from stewing meat in the kitchen, and avoid any food that may produce a strong odor."
"Try to eat something light, like plain vegetables, rice porridge, etc. If that doesn't work, just hand out eight-treasure porridge and instant noodles."
Zheng Sisi was very smart and immediately understood Han Yi's concerns - smell, especially the smell of blood, was a deadly bait that attracted zombies.
She immediately nodded in agreement: "I understand, Captain Han, I will arrange it right away."
But she changed her mind.
Fresh vegetables are not easy to store, and eating porridge and instant noodles all the time is not a long-term solution.
After a little thought, Zheng Sisi came up with an idea.
She turned around and gathered more than a dozen women who were usually very skillful:
"Sisters, the situation is urgent. We have to hurry and start making buns and dumplings now. Make them all vegetarian, steam them and freeze them. They'll last for a while."
When the women heard this, they immediately understood the meaning and started to work.
Immediately afterwards, Zheng Sisi thought of a more subtle but potentially fatal problem.
She found a batch of toilet water from the supplies and then found the person in charge of managing the female members.
"Here, take it."
She handed over the toilet water.
"Give some to the sisters who are menstruating these days and ask them to sprinkle it on their bodies, especially on their clothes."
"It doesn't matter if the smell is a bit stronger, the main thing is to cover up the smell of blood."
The person in charge nodded heavily: "I understand, Sister Sisi, I'll do it right away!"
Just like that, in the midst of silent busyness and intense deployment, the building where the temporary base was located seemed to have entered a state of combat readiness.
The spark from the welding gun flickered briefly and then went out, and the heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor before returning to silence.
Night finally slowly falls.
The entire building fell into a strange silence. Outside the window, there was howling wind and snow, and inside the window, there were tightly closed doors and windows and drawn heavy curtains.
The air was filled with the faint fragrance of floral water and a silent, suppressed tension.
Everyone was waiting, waiting for the confirmation of Han Yi's ominous premonition, or... a more terrifying unknown.
