In the twilight of the morning, the base was already bustling with activity.
In a row of two-storey bungalows in the northwest corner, the door on the left was pushed open, and Shen Shi'an came out with the child in his arms.
With a bag of milk in his mouth, Shen Xun looked around with his big dark green eyes: "There are a lot of ducks."
"Hmm." Shen Shi'an replied, the pale yellow sunlight shone on his face, his expression was peaceful and soft.
They have passed through many places along the way. The base of the cigarette factory is too small, and the management is seriously unbalanced. It is more like a transit station where survivors gather temporarily; Noah's Ark is too deformed, and under its bright appearance gathers the darkest aspects of human nature after the end of the world. vicious part. Only here is a place formed by a group force after a sudden catastrophe, where survivors divide labor and cooperate with each other, wait for the trauma to heal, and strive to rebuild and develop.
This is what a base should look like.
Pedestrians on the road may not necessarily be neatly dressed, rosy complexion, or even have a good night's sleep and a full meal, but everyone's eyes are full of bright and fresh vitality:
A new day begins, and as long as you can breathe, there is hope.
There are a total of three canteens in the base, and there is one near the one-story house that everyone chose as their foothold. This time happened to be meal time, and most of the pedestrians were gathering in the direction of the cafeteria.
Shen Shi'an walked in with the child in his arms, walked around the windows, and found that the cafeteria mainly provided biscuits, bread and other convenient packaged foods. High, few survivors went to buy.
This situation is not difficult to understand. Although there are wood-type supernatural beings in the base that can give birth to plants, food crops such as wheat and rice require relatively high land. It is difficult to survive in the base with a surrounding city wall to resist zombies. There is sufficient and suitable land planned for cultivation, so that only the food reserves before the end of the world and a small amount of collected food are left to eat, and the price is naturally high.
Correspondingly, there are quite a few vegetables and fruits that can be grown on any piece of land, and the price is not too expensive. Shen Shi'an bought three sweet corns for the child with one crystal nucleus, and put two into paper bags. The other Gouzijing grasped it with both hands and gnawed vigorously.
In addition, Shen Shi'an also saw a kind of food in the cafeteria that was absolutely not found in other places: local processed food with "Yangcheng Special" printed on the packaging bag, and the production date was within one week.
Just entering the base yesterday, Zhong Han introduced to them that the Yangcheng base belonged to the industrial zone of Yangcheng before the end of the world. The whole area is vast and there are many factories. Before the outbreak of the virus, the workers and their families mainly lived in the factories. It forms its own living system outside the urban area. After the military chose to build a base here, benefiting from the abundant coal resources around Yangcheng, several factories have been restarted, and the food processing factory is one of them, which can be called the unique advantage of the Yangcheng base.
Of course, since the entire production chain is broken, it is impossible to process anything that is too delicate and complicated. Most of the vegetables and fruits are processed twice to extend the shelf life. Because the raw materials are self-produced, the price is the most favorable among all foods. The people who buy it are also the most.
Shen Shi'an bought a pack of sweet potato fries weighing half a catty and a pack of pumpkin pie, both of which tasted good, because no preservatives were added, and they tasted extraordinarily sweet.
When the turn was about the same, he hugged the dog in one hand and carried the "souvenir" in the other: "I'm going back."
The people who came out of the cafeteria after eating began to diverge, some went to the factory, some scattered on the criss-crossing streets, and some walked towards the door.
To greet each other by those who are familiar with or know each other:
"Have you eaten yet?"
"I've eaten it, I've eaten it, the melon that just came out today tastes good, have you tried it?"
"Taste it, the newly planted sweet potatoes are also good, sweet and soft."
"Really, then I have to try at noon..."
"Old Zhang, are you going to work in a factory?"
"Yeah, hey, aren't you going today?"
"No, I'm going to go out to try my luck. I heard that there are fewer and fewer zombies outside recently, and it's much safer than before. Yesterday, Lao Li and the others came back from Linshi with half a load of supplies."
"Okay, then you should pay attention to safety. If the harvest is good, I will make up the number with you in a few days."
"Okay, see you later!"
"..."
Shen Shi'an walked slowly through the trivial and life-like conversations. When he returned to his residence, Tang Song and Lin Ruan, who had gone out for a walk, had already returned. Chen Nan and others, who followed Tao Yuan for morning exercises, took a step back, and the last one to come in was Xiong Manshan .
Members gathered and exchanged information collected while eating breakfast around the table.
"...the number of survivors in the base has increased by more than 80,000," Liu Fangzhou pinched a piece of pumpkin pie that Shen Shi'an brought back from the cafeteria, stuffed it into his mouth, and said vaguely: "The supernatural beings are at four thousand one four thousand two. About 4,500, including those who did not come back after going out to do missions, should be no problem... "
Chen Nandao: "We made a brief inquiry. There are four factories that have resumed operation in the base. One is a food processing factory, one is a toilet water production factory, and the other two are used to temper steel and make weapons. The management is stricter than other places. Except for the staff, everyone else You can’t get close at all. It seems to have established trade relations with other bases, and they can exchange what they have with each other.”
Tao Yuan unpacked a pack of compressed biscuits: "When we were running, we happened to meet two military trucks coming from the forge and out of the city gate. Judging from the ruts of the trucks, the loads were not light. They should be transporting the products produced in the Yangcheng base. weapons that go elsewhere to be traded."
"The living standards of the survivors here are not bad," Liu Fangzhou swallowed the pumpkin pie, "Most of the supernatural beings go out to kill zombies to find supplies, and ordinary people go to work in factories or vegetable gardens—the four factories provide a small amount of 10,000 yuan. As for jobs, anyway, as long as you are willing to work, you will definitely not starve to death."
Lin Ruan spread ketchup on his slice of toast, and after he finished the ketchup, he spread strawberry jam, put two slices of ham and three slices of lettuce, and divided everything in half for Tang Song, "In general, the information we collected before Almost, the garrison team is also the one we expected, and the teacher in charge of the military in this base happens to know each other."
Shen Shi'an looked at Tang Song: "Acquaintance? Or just a one-sided acquaintance?"
"In between," Tang Song exchanged the sandwich with more meat in his hand to Lin Ruan, "His wife had a serious illness before the end of the world, and she was the attending doctor I introduced from the Confidential Affairs Investigation Department .”
"A serious illness that can't be cured by a normal hospital," Lin Ruan added.
"That's a good relationship!" Xiong Manshan clapped his hands: "You are saying that you have saved his wife's life. How easy it is to do things with such a big favor."
Shen Shi'an asked him: "How about the matter I asked you to inquire about?"
"I went to the Rebirth Hall. The place is quite big, and the decoration is not very high-end, but it has a very solemn and solemn atmosphere, which feels a bit like a church. They are quite standard in their work, and someone is responsible for sorting out the recovered corpses. For the remains, some people are responsible for taking photos and collecting relics, and some people are responsible for sealing up these relics and sending them to the population announcement office—I also went to that place. It is in the center of the base where the stadium used to be. Information about the deceased can be found in it. If you want to find someone or leave your own information for others, just write it on a note and paste it on the bulletin board. There is also a wall specially prepared for the Hall of Death Yes, it is full of photos of the deceased and information on the relics they have sorted out, I counted almost two thousand, and it is said that many survivors have found their family members from it."
"Where is the cemetery where the dead are buried?"
"On the hillside in the northwest of the base," Xiong Manshan lifted the wrapping paper, stirred the steaming instant noodles twice, wrapped them up with a fork and put them into his mouth in one big mouthful: "Ho, ho, ho, it's so hot, so hot …The large hillside in the northwest has been used as a cemetery. It seems that it was specially approved by the base. The corpses were recovered from the Changsheng Hall, cleaned up, photographed, and buried there after cremation. A monument was erected in front of each grave If you know the name, write the name, if you don't know the name, write 'forerunner', and a small tree was planted next to it, it's a shame anyway."
Chinese people pay attention to going to the soil for safety, no matter how they die, if they can have a place to rest after death and not leave the dead in the wilderness, then it can be regarded as a good destination.
"Not only are the corpses retrieved from the Xiangsheng Hall buried there, but also the survivors who died during the missions and search for supplies in the base are also buried there," Xiong Manshan drank most of the noodle soup in a fit of anger, and wiped his mouth with his hand: "Anyway Well, I think this matter is quite meaningful. A person’s life is nothing more than two major events: life and death. Only by understanding death can we live better, right? In the end of the world, there is no guarantee, and no one knows when it will be their turn. But knowing that after your death, someone collects your body, someone buries it, and someone visits your grave to remember yourself, more or less there will be a sense of collective belonging, especially when 90% of the country’s population is estimated to have lost their families. If it were me, I would be very happy would like to stay here."
Xu Ge nodded: "I met several people wearing the uniforms of Xiangshengtang on the street. The survivors in the base respect them very much. I think this should be the reason why the managers are willing to show support for Xiangshengtang."
Whether it is from the perspective of management or cohesion, the existence of Xiangshengtang seems to have an important role.
Towards the end of the breakfast, the exchange of information was more or less complete.
Shen Shi'an remembered one thing: "Have you heard any survivors mention the decrease in zombies near the base?"
Everyone shook their heads, "When we came here yesterday, we didn't seem to encounter many zombies on the road. Didn't the base send people to clean them up?"
"It's not clear yet, anyway, I'll pay more attention to it, and if I have a chance, I'll find out more about it."
"Okay, it would be a good thing if the number of zombies is really reduced. Maybe the zombie virus mutated again and killed himself." Liu Fangzhou happily dreamed.
A few minutes later, everyone finished their breakfast, and Tang Song and Lin Ruan stood up from the table one after another: "Then we will officially set off to contact the garrison. If we don't come back within three hours, Mr. Shen, please bring us along as planned." Go first with the blood sample, we will find a way to join everyone as soon as possible."
Shen Shi'an nodded: "Be careful."
Everyone sent the two to the door and watched them disappear into the crowd.
Chen Nan closed the door, "Brother Shen, what shall we do next?"
Shen Shi'an pinched the child's fingers in his palm, "Wait."

After Le Ang's accidental death, he signed an agreement with a system that claims to be from an extraterrestrial high-tech civilization that can collect love as energy:
Complete the task to get the heart of true love, and the system will give you five-star praise. There is also a chance of resurrection, free shipping worldwide, dear!
However, after a few tasks, Le Ang discovered something was wrong:
You wait a moment, just make an agreement to talk about love, why is my mission status always crazy
Copy two:
Qi Yan is a big monster who has practiced for thousands of years and accumulated merits in the cycle of reincarnation in the world.
Mortals are mostly boring, with one exception.
In the last life: "Qi Yan sticks, Qi Yan is good, Qi Yan and I are the best!"
