Chapter 69 Zombie Tide
Bai Zhi has always felt that in the apocalyptic stories she has read, not all the characters of the protagonists are worthy of the so-called good fortune given to them by the heaven.
This was further confirmed when the incident that shocked the entire C City Base occurred a month after the Hope Convenience Store disappeared in the Satellite City.
Because of the sufficient food and energy reserves purchased by the convenience store in the past two weeks, the C City Base experienced tremendous changes in the following month.
First of all, the basic power supply was restored to important places such as the military and political office building and the base hospital.
The number of cars driving on the streets of the base and the number of military trucks entering and leaving the base have obviously increased several times compared to before.
The logistics department has also enriched its commodity reserves. The upper limit of rice and flour purchases has been doubled, and warm clothing and bedding are cheaper than before. There is even gasoline that can be purchased although it is expensive.
The official does not sell antibiotics and generators directly in the logistics department. The former needs to be purchased after a doctor's diagnosis and prescription in the hospital, and the latter can only be used indirectly by purchasing electricity quotas.
A week after the official purchase of the generator, the base's mechanical engineers and scientific researchers passed the test and improved the power supply system in the base.
All residents who have purchased electricity quotas from the logistics department can enjoy the basic power supply of the base at 11 am and 7 pm every day for two hours of meal time.
Almost two years after the apocalypse, kitchen appliances, lighting, water heaters, air conditioners, and electric blankets have finally re-entered the lives of the survivors in City C.
Of course, those in need can also buy them at high prices from the purchasing agent team in the trading area for their own use.
With the basic guarantee of food, clothing, housing and transportation, the enthusiasm of the base officials and survivors to recover the non-safe areas outside the base and expand the survivors' activity area has also increased significantly.
With the cooperation of Deng Jingtian, the City C base has developed an inhibitor that can suppress the development of the zombie virus within 12 hours. The official rescue team and the superpower team are also more brave and active in killing zombies than before.
The zombies seemed to sense the atmosphere and momentum of the survivors in City C. The rescue teams that went out on missions in recent days said that they encountered fewer zombies than before.
When things have been going smoothly, it may be the moment when a huge turning point will occur.
On this day, Bai Zhi accompanied Li Chengyi to the military and political building of the gymnasium as usual. He went upstairs to the water storage department, and Bai Zhi waited in the sofa area of the lobby on the first floor.
She was holding a tablet computer that was no longer obtrusive, watching a movie that Li Chengyi had downloaded before the end of the world. Not long after watching it, she heard exclamations from the door of the building, followed by a noise. She
took off her headphones and looked up at the door. A large group of military and political workers were gathered at the entrance, talking about something in a panic.
From the clear words "Captain Fu", "Deputy Base Commander", "Crystal Core", "Zombie", and "Skin" that sporadically came into Baizhi's ears, the inexplicable bad premonition that Baizhi had in the hospital ward at that time came to her mind again.
Getting up from the sofa, Baizhi put the tablet and headphones into the bag and walked towards the crowd at the door.
Standing behind a few people who were discussing heatedly, Baizhi finally heard what everyone was talking about.
——————————————
Four hours ago.
The rescue team led by Fu Jingchuan suddenly encountered a zombie tide. Fu Jingchuan's psychic ability was slowly exhausted by the endless stream of zombies surrounding the small building where the rescue team was located.
In the end, everyone could only fight with their superpowers, and many people were injured.
Fortunately, Deng Jingtian, a healing psychic, was with them. After everyone was injected with inhibitors, he helped heal the more serious wounds.
Fu Jingchuan's abnormality was discovered by Deng Jingtian and Gu Feng after his wounds were healed.
Fu Jingchuan's bloodthirsty desire has been intensifying as his superpowers have increased, and he usually relieves it by absorbing crystal cores.
Now that his superpowers are exhausted, his bloodthirsty desire is even more intense than usual, and he needs a greater amount of crystal cores.
With everyone injured and consuming a lot of superpowers, the crystal cores collected for the time being are not enough for him to use.
So Fu Jingchuan's face turned pale and blue, his body temperature was cold, his eyes were scarlet because of his bloodthirstiness, his cheeks were twitching slightly, and his hands were shaking.
After Deng Jingtian healed his not-so-serious wounds, the abnormalities that shouldn't have occurred were discovered by Gu Feng, who was following Deng Jingtian and was the second strongest psychic in the C City base and already knew Fu Jingchuan's abnormalities.
"Deputy base commander, why do you look so much like a zombie now?" Gu Feng's deliberately amplified voice and the content of his words quickly attracted the attention of the survivors who were sitting on the ground to rest after the battle.
“Zombies?!”
“How could Captain Fu be a zombie!”
“The deputy base commander’s face is so pale and blue, it doesn’t look like normal skin!”
“His eyes are so red too!”
“Can’t he control zombies? Besides him, which other psychic can control zombies! Only zombies can control zombies!”
“Oh my God! Will he hurt people? He is the strongest psychic in the base. He will be even more powerful after becoming a zombie! Am I going to die here!”
“Even if Captain Fu is a zombie, so what? He has been able to control zombies for so long. Apart from killing zombies, has he ever hurt any human being? He just saved your lives!”
…
"Captain Fu?" Deng Jingtian naturally understood Gu Feng's plan immediately.
Although it was thanks to Fu Jingchuan's supernatural power that everyone had a chance to escape and save their lives.
Now that they have just come down safely, it is a bit immoral to kill the donkey.
But the first thing Deng Jingtian learned from the tragic ending of the original book where the original owner was a vicious female supporting role was that if a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. It is not afraid of being a bad person, but it is afraid of not being a bad person thoroughly enough.
So after she crossed into the book, she not only snatched back the space from the Green Tea and White Lotus heroine, but also used the golden finger that knew the plot to snatch away the harem of the hero and the heroine. She also designed to kill the best friend who stood on the side of the heroine and had been targeting her.
Although there are some differences between the real world and the book,
for example, the government issued a notice on zombies earlier and faster than in the original book, and the C-city base is more developed and stronger than in the original book;
for example, the A-city base came to visit and established inter-base communications, which was not mentioned in the original book at all;
For example, the Hope Convenience Store is like this. It is obvious that there are systems and taskers, but there are none in the original book.
For example, Fu Jingchuan was found injured a long time later. She originally planned to use him to kill more zombies and build the C City base for a while. She and Gu Feng would then expose him, and then take over the base with their current reputation and supernatural power.
