Although the time spent on advancing was somewhat different from his previous life, Ye Xuan didn't find anything wrong with him, so he put this matter aside for now. After Ling Jiaze rested at home for a day and recovered, the two of them left the temporary residence together to see what was going on inside the security base.
The two of them walked towards the busiest direction of the base, Ye Xuan was observing the current situation of the base along the way. Although there is a slight deviation in the time between the two lifetimes to reach the safe base, the safe base in the early days of the end of the world has not changed much. It still makes people feel extremely depressing, as if panting is a burden.
A shivering old man in ragged clothes huddled in a corner, a skinny child, a middle-aged woman with unkempt hair...
These people have different ages and identities, but Ye Xuan saw one thing in common in them—empty eyes. These people have had their hope of life wiped out by the coming months of the end of the world, leaving only the instinct of survival, and when their bodies can no longer hold on, they will be finished.
In addition, Ye Xuan saw sharply that a young woman entered the room with a strong man half-pushed and half-pushed, and a slightly thin and good-looking boy was also half-forcibly taken away...
Ye Xuan knows what will happen after these people leave. After the apocalypse, morality and law will collapse. The hungry will rob food, and the full will rob money, sex and power. These three goals that humans have always pursued are not uncommon at all. things. As for exchanging your body for what you want, that is a common occurrence before the end of the world, not to mention there are people who would not sell their bodies for profit before, but now take this path in exchange for a chance to survive.
Ye Xuan is already used to these situations after the apocalypse. Even if the order of the apocalypse is slightly restored a few years later, it has not recovered to the productivity before the apocalypse. There is no way to go out to deal with zombies or those who make contributions to the base. Living on the fringes of society, never dying from cold or starving, but just staying alive.
The slightly better thing is that perhaps because the zombie attack encountered on the way here successfully hit some people who thought they were the chosen ones because of their supernatural powers, it made them realize that they did not run amok in the last days Ability, his own abilities are not very strong, and he has restrained a lot of arrogance. There are not many people in the base who bully the weak at will just because of their physical strength. After all, morality is now broken, and the management of the base is not very strong. Once malicious people completely lose control and let themselves go, the management of the base will not be able to suppress them.
Ye Xuan even had time to think, maybe the wave of zombies can also play a role in helping the base management? If there is no attack, the base will only be more chaotic, and the lives of people with poor physical fitness will only be more miserable. Is this probably the survival pressure brought by external threats
Just like what he saw in his previous life, except for some conspirators who will do anything to achieve their goals, every major force in the base will join hands to fight against the zombies. Although those people must have some small calculations, but few really dare to make small moves at that juncture.
cough…
After realizing that his thoughts were wandering, Ye Xuan coughed uncomfortably, and moved his eyes away from the small corner of the base.
Zombies are the enemies of human beings, he is still very clear about this...
—
This is the first time for Ling Jiaze to face these things directly. When the apocalypse first came, he was in the school. On the one hand, there were teachers from the school, and on the other hand, he had a relatively bottom line. He was basically stable. Later, he and Ye Xuan got in touch The only ones are residents of the community and survivors who go out to collect supplies. The residents of the community do not come to them easily, and those who dare to go out will not live too badly. The living conditions of human beings he has seen are not bad.
After arriving in the safe zone, most of his thoughts were on Ye Xuan. Although it was heard that the living conditions of ordinary people who did not bring supplies were poor, and many people could only lay a floor in one room, he also belonged to the army. The resident originally had few houses, and it was impossible to arrange and prepare accommodation for so many people in a short period of time, so we didn't inquire too much. But now that he came out to see him, he realized how difficult it is to survive in the last days. It was so difficult that countless people fell into the abyss of despair just at the beginning.
Seeing that there were not many people around, he said in a low voice: "I think the situation in the safe zone is worse than I thought." According to his expectation, it is unlikely that everyone in the safe zone will have enough food and clothing, but it will not be there yet. One bite has reduced to the point of selling one's body, at least one can maintain the basic consumption of one's body, and the situation is much worse now.
"No way, although City C is not a particularly large and prosperous city, there are quite a few citizens. Even if most of the citizens were lost in this disaster, the rest of the citizens plus the survivors who came from the surrounding areas will add up. It is not a small number. Although the army has collected some supplies, it is not enough for so many people on average. If you want to meet everyone’s basic living needs, all the supplies will be exhausted in a few days. into greater difficulty."
Ling Jiaze frowned and said, "But judging by the current number of people, even if the base minimizes the supplies it provides every day, it won't last long, right?"
The population base is here. Unless no supplies are given, no matter how little is given to everyone, it will add up to a large and terrifying number. If the base only wants to solve the material problem by reducing per capita consumption, it is really stupid.
Seeing Ling Jiaze's worried face, Ye Xuan pointed to the building in front of him and said, "Look, isn't this the way the base solves problems?"
"Survivor Center", Ling Jiaze read out the large characters on the sign, looked puzzled and asked, "Is this the upper-level office of the base?"
"More than that," Ye Xuan looked at the buildings in front of him, and said with nostalgia: "The base officials will issue missions here, and the survivors will go out to collect supplies or participate in rescues in exchange for what they need. , so that the base can operate normally.”
After the end of the world, many survivor bases have been formed. These bases have different names and different rules, but they all have such a place to issue and receive tasks, which helps the exchange and transactions between the official and ordinary people, and maintains the operation of the base. Almost all survivors will go to such a survivor center immediately after arriving at the base to get what they want, and Ye Xuan is no exception. Now he can be said to be the person who is most familiar with the operation mode of the base .
"But not everyone has the courage to go out. In fact, those who dare to go out will not rely on the base for food and drink. If this continues..."
Seeing Ling Jiaze's voice getting quieter, Ye Xuan was ruthless and took up his words in a low voice. "Either muster up the courage to go out to collect supplies, or take a step back and find a job within your ability in the base, and then you will die. The base has no ability and it is impossible to support a group of idlers. In order to keep more people alive, it is only possible to get something for nothing. People who wait for others to support them will not be able to survive in the last days."
Ye Xuan remembered that after a while, after this method of receiving quests to obtain materials was popularized, the base would completely stop the supply of free food, and the two roads of work and death would be clearly laid out in front of everyone. The cruelty is also fully exposed.
Knowing that Ye Xuan couldn't change this matter, Ling Jiaze couldn't help raising his voice, and asked aggressively: "So for the survival of more people, those who still can't adapt to the end of the world have no choice but to die, right? ?”
Before Ye Xuan could answer, Ling Jiaze realized the offensiveness of his words, and apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." After he finished speaking, he lowered his head in shame, and didn't meet Ye Xuan's eyes again.
The apocalypse was not brought about by Ye Xuan, and the corrupted human nature was not instigated by Ye Xuan. He can stand here safely, worrying about the life and death of those 'vulnerable groups'. Ye Xuan still depends on him. What qualifications does he have to question nothing? What about Ye Xuan, who just told himself the reality
Seeing Ling Jiaze silent like a frost-beaten eggplant, Ye Xuan was annoyed and funny. He was not angry at first. After all, he knew that although Ling Jiaze looked inaccessible on the surface, he was actually a much purer and kinder person than himself, not to mention that he had experienced the apocalypse once more than him, and the other party would soon It is quite normal to feel that you are too indifferent and have a hard time accepting some of your opinions. Coupled with the fact that Ling Jiaze regretted and apologized as soon as he said it, he couldn't get angry even more.
The faint anger now is actually because of Ling Jiaze's reaction—the two have known each other for a while, and they have also experienced a life-and-death crisis like a group of zombies. Why is this person still so reserved, panicking at the slightest sign Woolen cloth
He said helplessly, "I didn't say anything, why did you panic?"
"I..." Ling Jiaze opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. Ye Xuan looked at his slightly red ears, and for some reason, he thought of the words "Caring and Chaos"...
If he remembered correctly, Ling Jiaze had a good impression of him, so his current reaction...seemed to be nothing incomprehensible? Thinking of this, Ye Xuan coughed a little uncomfortably, and said nonchalantly: "Now there is only a prototype of the security base, and many things are just my guesses, let's go in quickly and have a look, maybe we can find out about b news from the city or the Northwest."
Hearing Ye Xuan mention the business, Ling Jiaze immediately put aside his relationship problems, nodded and said, "Let's go quickly, I also want to know about Grandpa and the others soon."
As for Ling Jiaze's father, he was tacitly ignored by the two of them.

Apologies for not updating for months
When I went out on a skateboard in July, I was distracted on the phone, and because I was not familiar with the road, I didn’t pay attention to the turn in front of me. After turning the corner, I didn’t control the speed and went straight downhill, resulting in a broken arm bone and a broken wrist bone. When I arrived, I was raised at home for more than two months before getting better. During this period, my parents watched all the mobile phones. I said that she could operate it, but I couldn’t operate it by myself (I listened to n novels abruptly...)
Because my parents don't know about my writing, it's not easy for them to use my account to help me ask for leave, so I have been procrastinating, sorry
I have almost recovered recently, and it will take a few days to keep up with the previous thinking. It is estimated that it will be updated normally in October.
