"Is this the capital base?"
After a long while, Tang Mingyuan said with a sigh.
Meng Zezhi also rolled down the car window and looked around, seeing the solid city walls and towering towers,
There are soldiers standing guard on the city walls, and machine guns and cannons are mounted in the towers. The colors of the walls are light and dark, the bright ones are the traces of repairs, and the dark ones are the footprints left by the siege of the zombie tide.
The Chengmen Cave is 30 meters long and 245 meters wide, and can accommodate two-way four-lane traffic.
There are also soldiers’ handles at the gate of the city. Because power users are immune to zombie viruses, they are only responsible for checking whether ordinary people who enter the city have wounds. If they are determined to be injured by zombies, they will inevitably be sent to the quarantine area. If he was lucky enough to awaken his powers during this period, everyone would be happy. If unfortunately turned into a zombie, what awaits him will only be humane destruction.
Meng Zezhi has been to many survivor bases, but no base has ever been as majestic as before. In addition to being shocked, I added two sighs.
This is not something to be proud of at first, who said that this 'luxury' is built on the tens of millions of human lives in the last days.
It can only be said that they did not come at the right time. The sun was setting at the moment. Most of the mercenary teams who went out on the mission chose to return to the city at this time. In addition to the teams who came to the capital base, the mighty team had been lined up until two. Inside and out.
The speed of the search was very slow, and it was already half an hour later when it was Meng Zezhi's turn and others.
The junior officer in charge of the search glanced at their license plates and asked, "From out of town?"
Vehicles at the Beijing base have been uniformly replaced with white license plates beginning with the Chinese character Beijing.
"Yes." Tang Mingyuan replied.
"Stay or stay?"
Tang Mingyuan thought for a while: "Let's settle down."
After the search, the junior officer raised his finger and pointed to the registration office on the side: "Go to register there."
"good."
"...Every person entering the city needs to pay three first-level crystal cores, and each car needs to pay two first-level crystal cores. You have a total of fifteen people and three cars, and you need to pay a total of fifty-one first-level crystal cores..."
"give."
"Look up at the camera and take a photo... Well, this is your temporary certificate. You can buy a detailed map of the capital base at the store in front of you."
After dismissing the team in front, the young woman in charge of registration looked up at Tang Mingyuan who was approaching, and asked familiarly, "Name?"
"Tang Mingyuan."
"age?"
"Twenty-seven."
"Is it a supernatural being?"
"Yes."
"Farewell?"
"Earth system."
"grade?"
"Level four."
The young woman stopped typing on the keyboard and looked up at Tang Mingyuan.
With just this glance, Tang Mingyuan has a bottom line. It seems that these fourth-level abilities are not very common in the capital base.
The young woman continued, "Where did it come from?"
"Wu County, Hu Province."
"Pre-apocalyptic occupation?"
"soldier."
The young woman controlled the mouse and clicked: "Military rank?"
"Major?"
The young woman looked up at him: "Do you have any documents?"
"Yes." Tang Mingyuan handed her the documents.
The young woman checked the ID card on the IC card reader, and then continued to ask, "Why do you want to settle down at the Beijing base?"
"Visiting relatives."
"What's the relative's name?"
"He Minshan."
"Who?" The young woman obviously knew the name too.
That's right, if an ordinary person without superpowers doesn't have a background, how can he find such an easy position.
"He Minshan, congratulations to the old man."
The young woman reacted: "What's your relationship with Mr. He?"
Tang Mingyuan pointed to Meng Zezhi behind him: "Our uncle... the captain is his grandson."
The young woman stuck her head out and glanced at Meng Zezhi, and only said, "Wait a minute, I'll send someone to the He family to ask, by the way, what's your captain's name?"
"Qi Siyong."
"Okay." The young woman immediately summoned a soldier and whispered a few words at him. The man looked up at Meng Zezhi, nodded, and drove away.
Meng Zezhi and the others had no choice but to step aside and make way for the people behind.
Tang Mingyuan couldn't help looking around, his eyes glowing brightly, he said, "Uncle, Brother Qin, how about we do this in the logistics center in the future?"
"I see." Meng Zezhi nodded.
In order to expand production in the planting area, it is necessary to expand the cultivated area and increase the number of manpower. Therefore, the expansion of the logistics center is imperative. It is inevitable to cooperate with other survival bases. The frequent flow of population will inevitably attract zombies. Therefore, it is indeed necessary to build a city wall to resist the zombie tide.
Saying that, he turned to look at Qin Yaochen.
Qin Yaochen pursed the corners of his lips, completely out of state.
Recalling the first time, when he followed Zhu Zhengqing home to see his grandfather for the first time, the anxiety and unease in his heart at that time were probably no less than that of Qin Yaochen now.
Meng Zezhi grabbed his hand and reassured him, "Relax, my grandfather won't do anything to you."
"En." Qin Yaochen unconsciously entangled his fingers with him.
Seeing this scene, Tang Mingyuan and the others couldn't help but have a smile in their eyes, then covered their mouths and coughed lightly, looking at him.
About a quarter of an hour later, with a roar, a jeep stopped in front of the sentry post, followed by a young man who jumped out of the car, his eyes swept over Tang Mingyuan and others, and finally fell on Meng Zezhi. body.
Meng Zezhi, who was leaning on the side of the car, immediately stood up straight: "Brother."
Brother He's expression softened slightly, nodded, and said, "Just come back."
He didn't talk too much nonsense: "Let's go, grandpa is waiting for you."
"Yeah." Meng Zezhi was not impressed with Brother He's attitude.
The love of parents is always blind. For the death of Qi Siyong's mother, Mr. He has always felt guilty, believing that his indifference caused his daughter's tragic death.
Of course, he transferred this guilt to Qi Siyong, and could not wait to hold Qi Siyong in his hand.
The old man is old and his energy is limited. If he pets one, he naturally can't take care of the others. From childhood to adulthood, the younger generation of the He family has it, and Qi Siyong must have it. Qi Siyong has it, but the juniors of the He family may not have it.
It came and went, the hatred on Qi Siyong was not justified.
But in the end, they were relatives, and the He family was strict, so the juniors of the He family didn't treat Qi Siyong much, they just couldn't get close.
In this way, Meng Zezhi saved a lot of heart.
Having said that, Brother He greeted the young woman and led Meng Zezhi and his group into the base.
The planning of the capital base has been perfected. Inside the city walls are the military camps and the resident camps of major mercenaries, and further inwards are residential areas and commercial streets. In the middle are the mission center, government buildings, and the military compound.
The military compound was formerly a medium-sized villa complex, and the He family lived in the innermost villa.
When he arrived at the place, Mr. He was already waiting at the door. When he saw Meng Zezhi coming over, his eyes blushed. He hugged Meng Zezhi tightly: "It's fine, just come back, just come back..."
"Grandpa." Meng Zezhi followed with red eyes, he was always able to enter his role as quickly as possible.
When Mr. He had enough hugs, he let go of Meng Zezhi, looked him up and down, and came to the conclusion, "I'm thin—"
Hearing this, Aunt He and her daughter on the side couldn't help but rolled their eyes. Wherever she lost weight, she obviously looked taller and stronger.
This eccentric person is blind.
"Is everything okay at home?" Meng Zezhi asked.
"It's all good." Old Man He smiled.
This is true. There are more than a dozen people in the He family, except for Mr. He and Aunt He, who have awakened their abilities one after another, and no one has become a zombie. After the end of the world, and because of the He family's position in the army, it was a matter of course that they occupied a place in the capital base, and they lived fairly well.
Even so, the old man was still not happy, he was thinking about Qi Siyong.
Fortunately, the people came back safely at this time.
It is not easy for the old man to live his whole life, so he just wants to be round and tidy.
Meng Zezhi took time to glance at the other He family members: "Uncle, aunt, second uncle, second aunt, aunt, sister-in-law..."
"Just come back." Uncle He nodded.
"Just come back!" Aunt He pouted.
Aunt He has always never dealt with Qi Si.
She is the child left by Mr. He's first wife. Although Mrs. He will not treat her badly, she can't treat her as her own.
And because Mother Qi was the youngest daughter of Mrs. He's 70th birthday, and the youngest child of the He family, she was loved by the He family since she was a child.
In contrast, the treatment of Aunt He and Mother Qi in the He family is naturally very different.
When Qi's mother insisted on marrying Qi's father and even cut off the relationship with Mr. He, Aunt He was secretly happy. As soon as Qi's mother died, Mr. He brought Qi Siyong back.
He is also a grandson, and Mr. He regarded Qi Syong as a treasure in his hand, but ignored her daughter because he couldn't stand her behavior.
No wonder Aunt He felt unbalanced.
It's just that she would never be so obvious in the past.
As if remembering something, Mr. He asked, "Where's Zhou Tie?"
He glanced at Tang Mingyuan and the others, they were very strange.
"Something happened on the way." Meng Zezhi said with a smile, "By the way, Grandpa, let me introduce you to someone."
Saying that, he pulled Qin Yaochen, who was almost on the same foot, to the side: "This is my love, Qin Yaochen, these are his brothers, thanks to them on the way."
Qin Yaochen tensed his face and bowed his body: "Master He."
The air was quiet for a moment, and Uncle He and others frowned slightly.
Qin Yaochen clenched his fists subconsciously.
Mr. He's expression froze, the corners of his lips trembled, and a thousand words were reduced to one sentence: "Look at me, patronize and talk, you are hungry too, go eat first, I let the kitchen make your favorite crayfish ."
"good."
When he got to the dinner table, Aunt He left for some reason, Meng Zezhi took Qin Yaochen and sat next to him.
There are not many dishes on the table, a bowl of spicy crayfish, a plate of fried shredded potatoes, a portion of canned pork stewed with cabbage, and a pot of braised beef.
As for Tang Mingyuan and others, Big Brother He will entertain them.
Mr. He was getting old, and he didn't like pasta, so he only ate a piece of cake and drank a small bowl of cabbage soup, then put down his chopsticks and concentrated on peeling the crayfish for Meng Zezhi.
"Thank you, grandpa." Meng Ze knew thank you, and turned around to put a chopstick of beef for Qin Yaochen, who was silently cooking rice.
This time, it was difficult for the He family to ignore Qin Yaochen.
Mr. He took a deep breath, reached out and wiped his hands with the towel on the side, tugged at his face, and asked, "Where is Mr. Qin from?"
Qin Yaochen quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and replied, "People from Liushi, Geng Province."
"How did you meet our Siyong?"
"I met by chance on the road." Qin Yaochen said, "I gradually became familiar with it later."
"Oh, what did Mr. Qin do before?"
"soldier."
"Soldiers?" Mr. He couldn't help but look better.
Meng Zezhi said with a smile: "Brother Qin is amazing. He is only twenty-nine years old, and he is already a colonel."
Mr. He's face was pulled down again in an instant.
Twenty-nine years old is not funny at all.
Did you forget that you are only seventeen this year.
"Then do you plan to live in the capital in the future or not?"
From Mr. He's point of view, since Qi Siyong is back, he will definitely stay in the capital in the future. With the He family taking care of him, it will be no problem to keep him safe and sound for the rest of his life.
"This—" Qin Yaochen looked at Meng Zezhi subconsciously.
Meng Zezhi immediately said, "Grandpa, Brother Qin and I have built a small survival base outside, not far from the capital base. We will go back after your birthday."
"Survivor base?" Mr. He was stunned: "You?"
"Ok."
Mr. He has mixed feelings in his heart. It has only been more than half a year, and this child has grown to the point where he does not need him.
In addition to being sad, he couldn't help but feel a little relieved: "Okay, okay, you are willing to make a foray yourself."
But he was not worried about Qi Siyong's safety, and immediately said: "The world outside is not peaceful, you are outside alone, you must pay attention to safety, and if you need anything, just tell your two uncles that they are still in the capital base. It's a bit of power, and I can help you a little bit anyway."
Uncle He and Uncle He frowned slightly, but nodded anyway.
"Okay." Meng Zezhi said with a smile.
"By the way," Mr. He asked, "Where is your base?"
"Wu County." Meng Zezhi said.
Uncle He and Uncle He stopped eating for a while.
Just listening to Meng Zezhi continued: "It's only half a day's journey from the capital. When the facilities in the base are improved a little bit, I'll pick up your grandfather to go to our place to play."
"Alright, alright." The old man was coaxed to the point of ecstasy.
Uncle He and Uncle He looked at each other with a look of surprise.
The author has something to say:
Meng Zezhi: I pretended to be coercive and even my relatives would not let it go.
