After the number of people in the team increased to nine, the original off-road vehicle became a bit crowded, so Tang Song and his wife found the strongest van from the parking lot in advance, with a medium size and a high enough chassis. Behind the buggy.
On the second day after leaving the research center, seeing that the Yangcheng base was getting closer, Shen Shi'an put the off-road vehicle into the space, and the group of people all got into the truck.
Tao Yuan was in charge of driving, Liu Fangzhou sat in the co-pilot and reported the surrounding situation at any time, and the others gathered in the car, each with a backpack.
"The space ability is too eye-catching," Shen Shi'an leaned on the swaying carriage board: "For the sake of safety, after entering the base, unless there are special circumstances, I will not use the space to collect items. Everyone needs to say now Come out, keep it as simple as possible, and focus on the essentials."
Everyone nodded, discussed and communicated with each other, and carefully allocated the space in the backpack. Xiong Manshan's backpack is the largest, he picked it himself, the whole body is pink, there are two little bears embroidered on the strap, the bag is stuffed full of bread and ham, the dog glared at it, trembled and took it out again Little half.
"You'd better find a way to disguise your face," Lin Ruan sat down, \"It's too eye-catching, and it's easy to be remembered by interested people. After all, this place is very close to the capital. If the people who want you know what you look like, then It's troublesome. Is there anything like liquid foundation?\"
When Shen Shi'an was collecting sunscreen items along the way, Lin Ruan picked up a bottle of the darkest one, darkened Shen Shi'an's skin by several shades, let down a part of her hair tied behind her head to cover her eyes, and then Pulled a distance and looked carefully: "Tsk, a handsome person is still handsome even if he is black."
Shen Xun took it for granted.
Xiong Manshan was the first to finish packing his things, fastened the pockets of his backpack, and sat next to the window connecting the front and rear compartments. When he turned his head, he found Liu Fangzhou on the co-pilot smiling at him.
The electrification all over his body seemed to give him a jolt, Xiong Manshan smiled dryly and moved his butt towards Tang Song, and quietly lowered his voice: "Major Tang, let me ask you something."
"you say."
"Did Fangzhou ask you to test the illusion on him last night? What did you show him in the illusion?" Xiong Manshan rubbed his arms: "I always wonder why he looked at me after he came out of the illusion. There's something wrong with his gaze, it's chilly and creepy."
Tang Song paused as he tidied his backpack: "To be honest, I don't know either."
"Hey??"
"My ability has two ways to confuse the target," Tang Song put down the bag and explained patiently: "One is for me to construct an illusion to determine what the target can see; the other is to let the target experience what he most wants to experience, That is to say, it is determined by the target's own consciousness—what Ark asked me to experience is the second type."
That's it.
Could it be that what Fang Zhou most wanted to experience had something to do with him
Xiong Manshan was very flattered. But no matter how flattered he is, it's not a problem if someone keeps staring at him and laughing. The thief who looks like a spirit behind him is scary.
Xiong Manshan simply moved to the position farthest from the window, touched the bulging backpack twice contentedly, and turned his head to see Chen Nan combing his brother's hair.
Fuck! ! !
Xiong Manshan jumped up on the spot with a pale face, almost hitting a hole in the roof of the car.
The carriage shook violently, Shen Shi'an hugged the child and looked over: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I'll loosen my muscles and bones..." Xiong Manshan wiped the sweat from his forehead, and sat back awkwardly under the eyes of everyone.
Not long after, he quietly moved to the diagonally opposite side of Chen Nan, and erected his backpack to block between himself and the living zombie's head.
Huh, it's much better now. Lin Ruan on the left is writing and drawing with a pen and paper, while Xu Ge on the right is holding a pot of flowers.
Xiong Manshan leaned over: "Sister Xu, what kind of flower is this, it smells so good."
Xu Ge glanced at him faintly: "This is my sister."
"..."
There's no way this team can stay any longer.
When the sun rose overhead, the truck drove along the provincial road into a complex of buildings. The two main roads here meet in a cross shape, and the buildings are built along the road. Most of the shops facing the street are supermarkets, restaurants, car wash shops and other privately run small shops. Dozens of zombies are scattered here and there.
Tao Yuan parked the car under the shade of a tree on the side of the road, refueled and watered, and waited for the engine to cool down. The performance of the truck cannot be compared with that of an off-road vehicle. Gou Zijing’s buttocks are numb after sitting all morning. He looked up at Shen Shi’an: “Is it okay if I go down and see?”
"Be careful, don't run far."
"Hey!" He jumped out of the car with a bang while carrying the knife.
Xu Ge followed closely behind, and Chen Nan specifically instructed: "Brother Xiong, stay in the car, don't get out, let alone fight with zombies." Then he also jumped down. The three quickly got rid of the zombies, and wandered around the shops to see if there was anything.
Tang Song spread out the map, found everyone's current location and formed a line with the Yangcheng base: "There are still about 15 kilometers left, and we will definitely arrive in the afternoon."
Shen Shi'an twirled the beads on his right wrist: "It's a little faster than we planned."
"There are fewer zombies along the way than we expected. I don't know if they have been cleaned up by the base," Lin Ruan said. help us."
"After entering the base, first find a foothold and simply check the situation. If the garrison troops are consistent with the information we got before, then Lin Ruan and I will negotiate with the other party and try to get a communication to help pass the message to the superior. Mr. Are we together?"
Shen Shi'an thought for a while, then shook his head. He really desperately hopes to get in touch with Mr. Gu, but since he has already come here, there is no need to take risks for a phone call—the garrison may be an alliance of interests with the faction that Tang Song and the two belong to, but it may not be with the Gu family. It's best to hide your identity until you figure out who the various forces who want to find him are.
"For safety's sake, we'd better agree on a signal. For example, if Lin Ruan and I leave and don't come back for more than two hours, then Mr. Shen will leave immediately with a blood sample..."
Before Tang Song finished speaking, Liu Fangzhou on the co-pilot suddenly turned his head: "Brother Shen, someone is approaching!"
Shen Shi'an's expression froze, and he shouted: "Xunxun!"
Gou Zijing and Chen Nan and Xu Ge quickly returned to the car.
Lin Ruan asked: "How many people?"
"Twenty-three, six of them are supernatural beings."
"How far is it from us?"
"It's one and a half kilometers now. The other party is moving very fast. He should be driving."
Tang Song said: "The number of people chasing and killing us has never exceeded fifteen or more."
"Moreover, people with supernatural abilities account for the majority," Lin Ruan added: "The expensive ones are not expensive." After all, snatching blood samples that can be used to develop vaccines is not something suitable for publicity.
Shen Shi'an looked at Liu Fangzhou: "Which direction did the other party come from?"
"The east side is the main road on the right hand side in front of us."
Not even that. They walked from south to north. If they were really chasing soldiers, they should have come from the south.
Shen Shi'an looked at Tao Yuan again: "Can the car start now?"
"Yes," Tao Yuan touched the hood, "but the temperature of the engine is still too high, and the sun is so strong, it probably won't last long, so we have to stop."
Shen Shi'an quickly made a decision: "Hold the troops first, keep vigilant and prepare for battle at any time."
About five minutes later, a large truck appeared on the main road east of the intersection, turned right and stopped at the northern end of the intersection.
The gates of the car were opened, and people jumped out of the car one after another. All of them were dressed in pure white uniforms similar to some kind of uniform, and through the strong light at noon, they could clearly see that they were lying neatly on the board of the car. There are rows of black body bags.
"Fuck!" Xiong Manshan hugged his pink backpack tightly: "What the hell is this!"
Soon someone spotted the van on the other side of the intersection, and the nine people surrounding it.
There was a commotion in the crowd for a moment, and not long after the co-pilot's door was opened, a young man wearing the same clothes but with more sophisticated details walked towards the crowd, and stopped five meters away: "Hi, may I ask you Are you going to Yangcheng Base?"
Lin Ruan, a beautiful young man with a pale and weak appearance, took half a step forward, and asked timidly, "You, are you too?"
The man smiled: "We are the residents of the Yangcheng base, and we are going to drive back now. If you don't know the way, you can follow behind our car."
Lin Ruan rubbed her fingers, looked back at the members and turned her eyes back again, pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.
The man seemed to see his concerns: "Don't worry, I have no malicious intentions. The Yangcheng base welcomes all survivors. We have encountered many people like you who came here for fame. It is just a matter of leading a way. If you I’m really worried, of course you can go by yourself, is there a map? If not, we can lend you a copy of the map, the next route is not complicated.”
Lin Ruan was obviously relieved, turned around and walked back to Tang Song, and said in a deliberately low volume that could be heard by the other party: "I think they are good people."
Xiong Manshan poked his head out from behind Shen Shi'an, and pointed to the large truck compartment in the distance: "Brother, what's going on in your car, can you explain? I'm a little flustered."
"Sorry, I should have explained clearly first, did I misunderstand you?" The man pointed to himself and the other 22 people standing behind him: "We are all members of the Yangcheng Base, and we are dedicated to finding Return the scattered corpses of the survivors and bury them in the ground."
"What?"
The man smiled: "Is it convenient to come closer and talk, it's not a solution to keep shouting like this."
Everyone looked at Shen Shi'an, and Shen Shi'an nodded.
Said he wanted to get closer, the man stopped again two meters away from everyone, as if he was also wary of Shen Shi'an and others. However, this distance is much more convenient for communication.
"My surname is Zhong, and my name is Zhong Han. I am the person in charge and one of the founders of the Hall of Rebirth. You should know that many people have died since the end of the world broke out, right? Not only were they killed by zombies, but they were also infected with viruses. Later, those who killed themselves in order not to become zombies, those who chose to commit suicide because they were too desperate, those who died of starvation and disease, and those who died in the struggle among survivors. Come back and help them sort out the remains and put them in the ground for safety, so as not to be bitten into pieces by the zombies. At the same time, collect as much information as possible from them, such as names, addresses, and belongings, and send them to the survivors in the base together with their photos The public announcement office, so that if their family members come to Yangcheng base one day, they may be able to get their information from the public announcement office, which is a kind of comfort for the living and the dead."
Liu Fangzhou understood: "Then you are equivalent to a public welfare organization?"
"you could put it that way."
Xiong Manshan couldn't help sighing: "That's really amazing." It took a lot of manpower and material resources.
Zhong Han was a little embarrassed: "The end times are difficult, but I just did my best. If I die one day, I hope someone can bury me, so that my body will not be left in the wilderness. There is a place where my information can be recorded. It will not be completely forgotten by this world. All the members of the Hall of Death are volunteers, and they all come together because of the same belief. Of course, our energy is limited and we must focus on survival, so in the process of searching for corpses It is also necessary to collect materials, but fortunately, the two are not too conflicting."
Tao Yuan said casually: "Mr. Zhong introduced it in great detail."
Zhong Han waved his hand: "Even if I don't tell you that you will know these things after you enter the base, it's not something you can't see people. We will go back on our way after a short rest. You can follow us or go first Leave, here is very close to the base, and you can get there in at most forty minutes."
Then he stood up: "Then you are busy first, I will go back."
The two sides nodded to each other, and neither shook hands.
After they left, the beautiful boy Lin Ruan lost 80% of the weak expression on his face, folded his arms and said, "He's pretty wary of us."
Tang Song said: "It's abnormal if you don't take precautions."
"It doesn't look like a bad guy." Chen Nan looked at Shen Shi'an: "Brother Shen, shall we go behind them?"
Shen Shi'an looked away from the big truck and nodded: "Let's go together, it happens that the engine is still cooling down, so we have to eat too, right?"
Half an hour later, two trucks, one large and one small, were driving on the northward winding provincial road with a distance of about 200 meters. When it was four or five kilometers away from the Yangcheng base, there were obviously more vehicles of various colors on the road, some heading south and some heading north, crossing on the road.
Lin Ruan and Tang Song didn't have any feelings yet, but it was very different for Shen Shi'an and others: they had fought against large and small groups of zombies for several months, and they hadn't felt such lively and lively popularity for a long time.
"Look!" Liu Fangzhou, who was sitting in the co-pilot, shouted excitedly: "The city wall! Damn, this city wall is so high, at least twice as tall as Noah's Ark."
The field of view in the van was limited, Xiong Manshan and Chen Nan immediately squeezed towards the window, and Gouzijing pushed away and occupied it by himself after just two glances, but even these two glances were enough to sigh: "The city wall is so high and so long At least you have to use dozens of earth-type supernatural powers. How many survivors did Major Tang say in this base? Fifty thousand? Let alone fifty thousand, I believe even one hundred thousand."
Although other people couldn't see the front, they could fully feel the vitality of this medium-sized base from the increasing traffic and crowds behind the carriages.
The truck was stopped 50 meters away from the city gate, and Zhong Han in front sent someone over to remind him: "When entering the city, vehicles and personnel must be inspected separately, get out of the car first."
Everyone jumped out of the car one by one with their bags on their backs, and looked up at the majestic city gate that was two stories high in front of them. The city gate should be made of copper and iron metal, with vermilion rivets the size of a washbasin regularly arranged on the surface. , looks extremely solid and safe.
Gou Zijing shrugged his nose in Shen Shi'an's arms: "Did you smell a scent of toilet water?"
"My kid has a really good nose," Zhong Han walked over with a smile, "Our base belonged to the industrial area of Yangcheng before the end of the world, and there were three toilet water processing plants in the innermost part. The smell is stronger, so there are very few mutated mosquitoes in the base, and there is no problem at all if you want to go for a walk in the street at night."
The whole set of inspection procedures for entering the city was not particularly cumbersome. Half of the personnel in charge of the inspection were wearing camouflage uniforms, and the other half were confirmed by Liu Fangzhou as all supernatural beings. It seems that what Tang Song and Lin Ruan heard was correct, the place is indeed jointly managed by the military and the supernatural beings.
Both parties seemed to know Zhong Han, and greeted him friendly, "Master Zhong, are you back?"
"Yes, thank you for your hard work, these are friends we met on the road."
Therefore, the prosecutors were even a little polite to Shen Shi'an and others.
The inspection process went very smoothly. Shen Shi'an still registered the information under Yun Feiyang's name. Before the official release, the inspector told him: "The first day of entry to the base is free for newcomers. Starting at midnight tonight, each person will need to pay one coin per day after that." The zombie crystal core is used as the base management fee, if it is not paid in full at the population management office for more than three days, it will be forcibly expelled from the city, I hope everyone understands and cooperates."
"Can I pay now?"
"OK."
"Then let's pay for two days first." Shen Shi'an counted eighteen crystal nuclei from his backpack. Including the free first day, they can stay in the base for a total of two and a half days, which is exactly the time required by the plan.
I took the truck back from the soldiers, because there was nothing in the car, and I hadn’t found a foothold yet, and I didn’t let Baina go everywhere, so I parked in the public parking lot not far from the city according to the other party’s instructions. When I walked out of the parking lot, I found Zhong Han hadn't left yet.
"The Hall of Immortality is quite famous in the base, and the location is easy to find. Just walk along the road to the west of the base." Zhong Han said: "You guys may not be used to it when you first came here. If you need any help in the base, Just come and find me."
Everyone said: "Thank you."
Lin Ruan, a weak and beautiful young man, appeared again: "Brother Zhong, you are so kind!"
"It's nothing more than a little effort. Survivors in the last days should help each other. Then you take your time, I'll go back first." Zhong Han sat back in the co-pilot's seat, smiled and said goodbye to the nine people, and the big truck was watched by everyone Soon disappears at the end of the road.
Others walked in front and looked at the scenery along the street. Shen Shi'an held the child a few steps behind, and asked Liu Fangzhou in a low voice: "Does Zhong Han have supernatural powers?"
"Yes, but I almost didn't notice."
"What's the meaning?"
"His light cluster is milky white, which is very similar to the color of ordinary people. If it weren't for the close distance, I would have overlooked it." Liu Fangzhou also lowered his voice: "Brother Shen, do you doubt him? To be honest, I think He doesn't look like a bad guy."
Shen Shi'an was silent, and his gaze swept across Liu Fangzhou, Xiong Manshan, and Lin Ruan in turn, with a slight smile on his brows, but he couldn't tell what his tone was:
"If there's one most important thing I've learned from everyone along the way, it's never trust a person's appearance."
The author has something to say: Shy and harmless Liu Fangzhou: "?"
The mighty and strong man Xiong Manshan: "??"
Pale and weak Lin Xiaoruan: "???"
