Chapter 91: First Day in Zombie World (2) Moving
After a brief goodbye to her teammates, Yu Luowei returned to her simple home at the official base. Her mother had just returned from an outside trip. Her fire ability was among the highest in the base, so even though she hadn't joined the official team, she was often asked to help out.
The mother was about to cook when she saw Yu Luowei coming back. She stopped what she was doing and looked Yu Luowei carefully. She was relieved to see that not even a hair was missing.
Yu Luowei stopped her mother from cooking and mysteriously pulled out two boxes of tomato beef brisket rice from her space. Her mother immediately grew nervous: "Meat is a rare commodity at this time, let alone being able to make it into such a feast."
Yu Luowei quickly explained: he and his teammates had "conquered" a beef and mutton farm during those five days. Now the zombie animals have not appeared yet, so they killed a small number of cattle and sheep and divided them among themselves. They tied the rest as much as possible to the car and brought them back together.
That evening, everyone took the raw meat to the fifth floor of the mall, where they had pots, pans, and seasonings—a much more complete set than at the base—and processed it there. Yu Luowei said that's when she made her lunch boxes and also took home a lot of takeout boxes.
After the explanation, Mom finally settled down to eat. While eating, Yu Luowei brought up the idea of switching bases. She explained that they'd found a shopping mall and a farm this time, storing quite a bit of supplies. But at this base, everyone was more or less familiar with the situation. It was fine for a short period, but over time, if someone noticed something was amiss, they wouldn't be able to explain it. It was better to switch bases. They were unfamiliar with the area, and no one would know how much supplies Yu Luowei and Mom had.
My mother didn't want to leave this familiar environment, but after hearing the reason, she was silent for a while and then agreed. Yu Luowei said that she could take advantage of this holiday to go out and ask around. After dinner, she ran out of the steel house.
She first went to the official supermarket and used her contribution points to buy a regular car. Since the tank was low, the price was very low; the only thing expensive was the gasoline. Yu Luowei didn't need to buy gas, though. She drove a short distance outside the base, making sure no one was around, and then returned the car to its space.
She planned to use teleportation to reach another base. While her teleportation wasn't instantaneous and couldn't reach her destination directly, as long as she switched to a different space in time, it was much faster than a car. She wanted to change cars so she could take her mother and her belongings with her when she moved.
Yu Luowei also remembered the location of the other base clearly. After a period of boring transmission, he finally arrived near the base before dark.
Yu Luowei only knew about its future, not its current state. He only found out after arriving. Because this was a populous province, the base had been converted from the largest local university, allowing it to more safely accommodate more survivors. The initial cleanup required more effort.
Yu Luowei found a large, leafy tree, common on university campuses, and crouched down, shielding herself with its leaves as she surveyed the base. Order and other matters seemed relatively good; there were no disturbances, and ordinary survivors had jobs. The number of zombies around was also small, and any appearances were dealt with immediately. She had also observed that supplies were relatively stable.
The existing dormitory buildings were where the psychics and the few survivors lived. Yu Luowei observed that they were basically full, so it might be difficult to find a place for two people to live.
Yu Luowei planned that if it really didn't work, he would modify the ability he reported and say that he had gained new abilities after the evolution of his ability. In the current situation, the stronger the person, the more "fair" it would be.
It gets dark very quickly. Because zombies originate from black air, they are more active at night than during the day. Generally, the base gates will be closed at dusk.
To have their own area in the base, they had to register first. Otherwise, they would have to squeeze into the playground with other people who hadn't registered yet and barely make it. Yu Luowei didn't want that, so she just took a quick walk around the base and left overnight.
There was no need to rush on the way back. Yu Luowei also destroyed several large zombie dens nearby and collected some supplies that she had not found during this period of time.
She took out her luxurious tent and rested overnight, returning home in the morning. After explaining the situation to her mother, she spent a rare relaxing day with her. On the third day of her vacation, she went to see the person in charge of the base.
When he mentioned that he wanted to change bases, the person in charge was a little confused, because although Yu Luowei's ability was not strong, it was very useful. The captain also said that Yu Luowei was the hero of this mission. However, after hearing the reason Yu Luowei made up, he still agreed to Yu Luowei. After all, he knew that they were looking for their father when they first arrived.
After issuing the letter of introduction, because of Yu Luowei's good performance in the previous mission, the person in charge waved his hand and gave her a 20% discount card. This thing is new and, like contribution points, is valid in supermarkets in various official bases.
After thanking the person in charge, Yu Luowei took the 20% discount card and went home to find her mother. Together they packed their things. As they were loading their things into the car, many neighbors came to ask about them. Yu Luowei used the excuse that she wanted to find news about her father to fool them.
They didn't leave much stuff outside, so they packed it up quickly and could leave early tomorrow morning. Although there were many people coming in and out of the base every day, for the sake of caution, Yu Luowei planned to wait until she left before teleporting back to get the plane.
On her last day at the base, Yu Luowei sought out a skilled psychic who modified her car, increasing its speed and defense. Meanwhile, her mother gave small gifts to several of her close neighbors at the base. These neighbors had been very caring towards her during her missions, even helping to look after their homes while she was away.
Early the next morning, when most people at the base were still asleep, Yu Luowei and her mother got in the car and left the base along the route Yu Luowei had chosen the day before.
The modified car was different. It had only been driving for less than half a day before it had already reached the border of another province. Of course, this was also related to Yu Luowei using his mental power to deal with the zombies on the road in advance.
After driving for a while, they arrived at their destination. With the letter of introduction from the person in charge, the two of them entered the base smoothly. When registering their abilities, Yu Luowei changed her ability information as planned. When it came time to assign rooms, at Yu Luowei's request, the two of them were successfully assigned a room in the dormitory building's stairwell. This was originally the dormitory manager's room, and since it was relatively small, it was made into a two-person room.
Leaving her mother here to pack, Yu Luowei went to register with the patrol team at the new base. Although she still had to complete missions after registering, in less than a month, the search for survivors would be almost complete, and the authorities would begin bombing other areas to combat the zombies. By then, she would have almost no missions left. From then on, it would be free missions. As long as she registered her destination, she could be away for a month.
Now Yu Luowei joins the official patrol team in fact to prepare for her mother to live here alone in the future. She has already made up her mind that when the time comes, she will pretend to die in the mission.
Today's tasks have already been assigned. Yu Luowei was asked to report there tomorrow morning. The procedure is the same as the previous base. He can take a good look around the base today.
After returning, Yu Luowei first accompanied her mother to familiarize herself with the cafeteria, supermarket and other places in the new base. At night, she used space teleportation to secretly teleport to the location where the planes were placed in the original base. She mentally controlled several psychics on guard and put one of the planes into the space. Then she left a hill-like pile of various supplies urgently needed by the base, including medicines, on the ground, which was considered the cost of purchasing the plane.
For the remaining two weeks, Yu Luowei, in addition to completing her base duties, often secretly went outside to practice flying, quickly mastering the technique. Because of her high-level abilities, she accumulated more and more contribution points. Yu Luowei didn't keep a single cent, transferring them all to her mother's account. The patrol provided meals, and Yu Luowei also had supplies in her space, which she forcefully persuaded her mother to accept.
Because he completed the mission very well, Yu Luowei was praised by the higher-ups. Taking this opportunity, Yu Luowei got the official global map, which also marked the places where the authorities were about to bomb. It also clearly marked where the roads had collapsed and where the roads were still passable.
Luo Wei wasn't sure where this map came from. However, based on her nearby verification, it seemed quite accurate. This would be a significant aid in her search for the source. She didn't want to encounter a bombing plane while she was on her way.
With two days until the source officially appeared, the authorities had just begun assigning bombing missions. Yu Luowei had just completed a three-day mission and decided not to take on any new ones for the next two days to spend more time with her mother. Because they were staying in a room, not a model apartment, they were well shielded from sound and smells. They had a few rare meals in the room during those two days.
Ten months into the zombie outbreak, almost all survivors have been hunted down. Hotels and residential buildings surrounding the base have been requisitioned. Beyond the base, the outside world has been completely overrun by zombies.
As a new psychic at the base, Yu Luowei wasn't chosen to pilot the plane this time. The sister who assigned her the mission reminded her to stay close to home for the next few days and avoid going far. Yu Luowei thanked her, but she had to go out. The sources of the two previous black energy flashes had already surfaced in her mind.
The other two may still be in the making. Among the sources of their appearance, one happened to be in the neighboring province. Yu Luowei took it as the first target and planned the route according to the map he got. The next day, he said goodbye to his mother, registered the purpose, location and time of searching for supplies with the patrol team, and then set off on his journey.
