Live and work in peace? It's really strange that these four words appeared in the last days. Chu Xiang was a little curious, and turned to them and said, "We will go tomorrow."
After Chu Xiang finished speaking, he entered the villa. The two people outside the door hesitated for a moment, and then went to the opposite villa.
Chu Xiang stood by the window and watched them pass by, narrowing his eyes slightly. Why stalking here if it's just an ordinary casual invitation? It seems that the base leader took a fancy to their strength and didn't want to miss them. I just don't know if this kind of solicitation is purely well-intentioned.
Troubled times are the easiest way to inspire those dark things in human hearts. Chu Xiang predicted the worst, went to the master bedroom of the villa to find three pieces of jade jewelry of the hostess, and carved a defensive array on them with spiritual power.
It was already late at night when Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng finished their practice. The two of them hadn't eaten all day, and their stomachs were growling with hunger. When they came together, they immediately went to the kitchen to get something to eat.
Chu Xiang leaned against the door of the kitchen and told about the nearby base.
Xiao Jin said: "Since they sent people to follow, I'm afraid it's not easy to leave if we don't go. Why don't we go and find out. No matter whether the leader is an enemy or a friend, he will not deal with us as soon as he comes up. If the enemy is a strong enemy, we still have time to run away." .”
Chu Xiang nodded, "I think so too." She lifted up the necklace made of jewelry, "It's for you, amulet, don't take it off after wearing it."
Xiao Cheng received the necklace and saw the complicated patterns on the pendant, he was surprised: "What is this? Could it be you who engraved it? How did you engrave it?"
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "If you practice hard, you can engrave it on it in the future, but the formation is very difficult. If you engrave it wrong, it may explode. Put it on quickly."
Xiao Jin didn't speak, but smiled when he put on the necklace. He could feel that Chu Xiang accepted them little by little, and truly treated them as his own. This kind of fate is very wonderful. Some people have been together for more than ten years, and the relationship may be flat. Some people can have deep feelings like comrades-in-arms after a few days. It all depends on whether they get along and what they have experienced. Bar.
The three of them discussed the secret signal and wink, so that they could cooperate in case of danger, and then practiced for another night. When Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng came into contact with self-cultivation for the first time, it was as if they had acquired some new-style toy. Their enthusiasm was high and they wished they could practice every second.
All their crystal nuclei were used up, and when they set off to the base, they joked: "Go to the base to see if there are any advanced zombies. The crystal nuclei of advanced zombies are precious."
Xiao Jin drove, glanced at the rearview mirror, raised his eyebrows and said, "They have followed, and they are really watching closely."
"Be careful when you arrive at the base." Chu Xiang lowered his head and polished his dagger, and the words of his advice seemed to be spoken casually, without any appearance of fear.
Xiao Cheng wondered: "Since we're worried, wouldn't it be over if we don't go? Why are you two going? It's fun?"
Chu Xiang said with a smile: "We can't always avoid people and be lone rangers, right? It's hard to meet living people in the first place. We still need to communicate with each other, and don't lose touch with society."
"That's it... still in society? Who cares if we're out of touch?" Xiao Cheng complained a few words, and suddenly understood, "Oh, you mean don't be like those people in the camp, who spend all day in a daze and don't understand. The situation in the last days. We need to collect various information from other populations, right?"
Xiao Jin whistled, "Brother, you have become smarter. It seems that cultivation can also improve intelligence. By the way, remember not to mention cultivation at any time, you know? Anyone who asks is to absorb the crystal nucleus to improve. "
"I know, I know, am I that stupid?" Xiao Cheng rolled his eyes, found a few guns, loaded them and handed them to them.
The base is not far away, and it takes about half an hour to drive there. The base was originally a villa area, and high walls were built with heavy objects such as cars and sacks. There are always people patrolling and guarding with guns on the wall, the gate is tightly closed, no zombies can enter, it looks like a very safe place.
A man and a woman who followed Chu Xiang and the others jumped out of the car, and the man ran up to them and said with a smile: "You are really here, that's great, I promise you will never want to leave after entering the base, this is really a paradise , let’s go, I’ll take you in.”
After speaking, he waved to the people on the wall and shouted: "These three are the chief's guests."
The people on the fence nodded, gestured to the inside, and the door opened immediately. The man added: "I'm sorry, most of the people in the base are ordinary people who don't know how to fight, and weapons may make them very uncomfortable. There are no zombies here, it is very safe, please give the weapons to the base for safekeeping. Don't worry, if you If you leave, everything will be returned to you."
Xiao Cheng frowned and pressed the car door, "What do you mean? You want to take away all our supplies? What's the reason for this?"
The man laughed and said, "You will know when you go in. The base is under unified management. Every day, the cafeteria distributes meals for free, and everyone can receive free supplies. This way everyone will be very happy and feel safe..."
Xiao Cheng sneered before he finished listening, "Isn't this kind of idealism a lie? It's the end of the world, and loss is rampant. Is this a play? Who came up with the rules?"
The smile on the man's face disappeared immediately, "The leader is our great benefactor, who brought us together and strive to survive. In the past, he would have been a great philanthropist. Why do you make such rude ridicule?"
Xiao Jin winked at Xiao Cheng, and said, "I'm sorry, my brother just thinks differently from you, so I'm sorry. But the things in this car were collected by us at risk, and I'm afraid we can't hand them over to strangers for safekeeping. This base... We won't go in, let's go."
Chu Xiang got into the car first, and started the car without saying a word. The man hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jin and said, "Wait, wait a minute, I'll go talk to the leader and see what the leader has to say. It's all here, don't worry Let’s go, we really don’t have any malicious intentions, we just appreciate your skills and hope you can stay. Can you wait? I’ll be right back!”
The man called two people to come and take care of them, and quickly ran into the base. Chu Xiang exchanged glances with Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng seemingly unintentionally. Xiao Cheng lit a cigarette and walked around the open gate smoking while actually observing the situation inside the base.
Xiao Jin casually leaned on the car, looked at the surrounding environment layout of the base, and already had a few ways to leave in his mind.
Chu Xiang determined how many patrolling people and guns there were in all directions of the fence, where were the blind spots, and where they could avoid.
When the leader came out, they had observed everything they could observe and stood together again. The leader is a strong man in his thirties, with great momentum and a kind smile. He shakes hands with them warmly when he sees them.
"Hello, my name is Peng Peng, and I'm the leader of this base." Seeing that Chu Xiang was obviously surprised, he smiled as usual, "I heard about you two days ago, and the three of you actually put the The entire villa area has been cleared, it’s amazing! I admire it.”
Chu Xiang smiled and said: "Mr. Peng is polite. Two friends said that Mr. Peng invited us to visit the base. We just came here when we had nothing to do. We didn't expect to hand in supplies and weapons. I'm afraid it's not appropriate. After all, we are still strangers to each other, and we don’t have this trust. I think we won’t go in this base.”
Peng Peng was a little surprised that Chu Xiang was in charge. He saw Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng standing beside Chu Xiang, one on the left and one on the right, without the slightest objection. He had a new assessment of Chu Xiang's strength, and said with a hearty smile: " Rules are dead, but people are alive. I like to make friends the most, and our base also likes to recruit strong people. As for these things, to be honest, we are not trying to rob you, but I have a lot of unarmed people here. Ordinary people with the power to bind chickens, I want to protect their safety, and I can't let outsiders bring weapons in at will."
He smiled, "However, I sincerely invite you to visit the base. How about this? This car is locked and placed here. I guarantee that my people will not touch it. You can drive away at any time when you leave. Why? Like? Go in and have a look, maybe you will like it here and are willing to stay. In this kind of world, a stable life is more important than anything else, isn't it?"
This kind of thing is originally mutual distrust, it all depends on how the individual chooses. Chu Xiang nodded lightly, and put the gun and dagger into the car first, "I hope Mr. Peng is a man of integrity. It's an honor to visit your base. My name is Chu Xiang."
"Miss Chu, please." Peng Peng led her into the base, and everyone looked over curiously. Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng set up their weapons and followed behind Chu Xiang, one looked left and the other looked right, observing the environment of the memory base without any trace.
The gate slowly closed behind them, and there was only one gate, which seemed to separate the apocalypse and the comfortable home. In the base, there are children chasing and running around, old people gathering together to laugh and chat, men repairing things, and women drying clothes.
It's such a beautiful scene, it's easy to get addicted to it. How wonderful it is to live in such a comfortable base in the last days
However, the three of Chu and Xiang who had fought life and death outside knew that this was just a beautiful bubble. Once many zombies surrounded them, or a small team with a large number of people attacked, the base would suffer great losses even if it was not destroyed.
Besides, collecting supplies will always be dangerous. Who would be willing to risk their lives to find things and bring them back to support others? And fair distribution! The nearby supplies will also be used up soon, so where will I find something to support these people? These are all hidden dangers of the base, but everyone is confused by this dream, and in the end they are nothing but cannon fodder.
A beautiful girl saw them running over immediately and said excitedly: "It's you! My name is Xiaoai, and I hid in the villa area on the east side before. Thank you for killing all the zombies there, otherwise I would never have a chance to come The base. Are you also here to join the base? This place is very good, it is a paradise on earth, you are welcome!"
Chu Xiang smiled and nodded, "It seems that you have adapted well."
"Of course, brother Peng is very powerful. He can protect so many people and let everyone live a good life. Although he has to do some work every day, it is very simple work. I am so lucky to be here." Xiao Ai said to Peng Peng sincerely, "Thank you, brother Peng, for not disturbing you, I will go to work."
Peng Peng smiled and said: "Xiao Ai told us about you, she seems to admire you very much. The little girl was very hungry when she came, and she was very afraid of people. In the past two days, with everyone's concern, she has returned to normal. I have adapted here. I know you have experienced a lot outside, and the life of fighting and killing is easy to make people tired, and it seems that there will never be an end. It is different here. I hope to restore the life before the end of the world in the base. More capable people are needed to work with me, so I really hope you can join the base."
Someone asked Peng Peng to report the matter, but Peng Peng did not continue to persuade them, but let them go shopping by themselves, "Maybe you will fall in love with this place after you understand it, go and see the base, you will be satisfied."
Chu Xiang, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Cheng were wandering casually in the base, and everyone would show curious expressions when they saw them, and then stepped forward to talk to them. It is nothing more than asking them if they are new friends who joined the base, telling them how good the base is, and then persuading them to stay.
Xiao Cheng sighed in a low voice: "I really don't know whether to call them naive or stupid."
With a smile on the corner of Chu Xiang's mouth, he walked slowly with his hands behind his back, "Whether it is naive or stupid, everyone should be responsible for their own choices. There is a saying that I often hear - relying on the mountains to fall, relying on everyone to run, but unfortunately few Personally understand."
Probably Chu Xiang's smile made people mistakenly think that she was very satisfied with the base. The woman who followed her before came over with Xiao Ai and said proudly: "How is it? The base is great, right? I'll let Xiao Ai take you Where are you going to live tonight?"
Chu Xiang nodded, "Okay, thank you."
Xiao Ai was very happy to be sent to lead them the way, chatting non-stop along the way. Xiao Cheng was very annoyed by someone chattering like this, and he opened his mouth to interrupt her, but Chu Xiang stopped her with a wink. Then Xiao Cheng watched Chu Xiang talking and laughing with Xiao Ai along the way. At first he thought the sun was coming out from the west, and the violent man finally had the side of a little girl. Later, he understood, Chu Xiang This is a cliché!
In more than ten minutes, Chu Xiang tricked Xiao Ai out, and got out all the information Xiao Ai knew about the base. Seeing Xiao Jin giving Chu Xiang a thumbs up secretly, Xiao Cheng couldn't help feeling sorry for Xiao Ai, a silly girl. I'm afraid that one day she will be sold and count the money.
Xiao Ai took Chu Xiang and the others to the villa assigned to them, and said with a smile: "The houses in this villa area have no owners anyway. If you don't like this one, you can change it. Everyone is like this. The electricity can still be used here, you guys You can take a hot bath and relax."
Xiao Cheng asked curiously: "Are you really satisfied with this place? Do you want to stay here forever?"
Xiao Ai's smile faded, and she sighed, "Everything is good here, but it's a pity... there is no research institute. I think I will leave if I have a chance, but I am not physically fit, and I don't know how to kill zombies, so I want to leave It’s also hard. And even if I go, I don’t know where to go.”
She looked at the three of them, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "By the way, where did you come from? Did you see other bases on the way? I want to go to a base with research institutes and laboratories, just to study how Eliminate the zombie virus. Is there? Is there?"
Chu Xiang was a little surprised, "Are you doing research?"
Xiao Ai nodded, "Yes, my parents are both from the research institute, and I have liked to study these things since I was a child. It's a pity that they are gone, otherwise they must know where there is a research institute. Before you killed a lot of zombies, I even dissected them I killed several zombie corpses, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even have this chance, thank you very much."
Xiao Jin asked seriously: "Have you studied those zombies? Then do you think it is possible to eliminate the zombie virus?"
"It's possible! But..." Xiao Ai frowned, "It will take a long time for the entire team to go through very precise research calculations, records and analysis to succeed. In this environment, it is very difficult. Even if it is like a paradise, there is no problem. It’s too difficult to get the equipment for the laboratory, let alone someone who knows research like me.”
Xiao Ai likes to talk very much, and once she opened the chatter box, she couldn't stop it, and she babbled a lot of details about her research on zombies. Chu Xiang studied medicine and did research all her life in her previous life, and she could tell from a few words that she was a professional and a genius in this field.
It's a pity that if it weren't for a particularly powerful base, no one would value such a talent at all, because she would be useless if there was nothing for her to study.
Xiao Ai chatted and remembered that she was going to the cafeteria to help distribute meals, so she hurried to work. This is her life now, she can only be a handyman.
Xiao Cheng looked at her back and said: "It's a pity, if it weren't for the end of the world, she might become a very good, very good person."
Xiao Jin slapped him on the back and urged: "Go to the cafeteria and get some food, now is not the time for you to envy scholars."
"Who is envious of scholars? Then, those who have a lot of knowledge are very powerful. I won't tell you, I will go to the cafeteria to find out the news." Xiao Cheng patted Xiao Jin's hand away, and quickly ran out after Xiao Ai .
Xiao Jin shook his head amusedly, sat on the sofa and explained to Chu Xiang next to him, "Xiao Cheng has never been able to study since he was a child. No matter how hard he works, he is only a pass line. When I ran into one, I guess I really felt sorry for Xiao Ai. But in this world, people who love sports and fitness may have an easier time surviving."
Chu Xiang leaned on the sofa, supported his head and smiled, "Now he is the envy of others, and the most enviable thing is being able to survive in the last days."
"That's true." Xiao Jin thought with his palm up, and a ball of flames burst out, "We haven't seen any supernatural beings in such a large circle, and we know too little about this. After dinner later , I'll go talk to those patrolling, see if I can get anything."
"Okay, I'm going to chat with the little girls. They usually have objects of admiration, exaggerated praise, and it's easy to chat."
"Xiao Cheng is free to move about freely, and ask whatever he can ask."
The two of them arranged the matter in a few words, and when Xiao Cheng came back from eating, the three of them started to act after eating.
The night at the base is also very interesting. Everyone gathers in the square, playing music and dancing. The kids were running around the adults and everyone was having fun. Even the soldiers who came back from killing the zombies smiled and played with everyone with beer.
After the battle, it was also a kind of relaxation and comfort for them to be able to play so easily and comfortably. Maybe they could meet a one-night lover in a happy atmosphere.
Chu Xiang chatted with the little girls about clothes and food, and soon they talked about the handsome guy at the base. Being handsome now is no longer good-looking, but strong enough and powerful enough. The little girls talked endlessly about the people they admired. They loved the soldiers in the base like a treasure, and Peng Peng was the most admired. Chu Xiang successfully learned from them that there were two supernatural beings in the base, and Peng Peng was one of them.
Peng Peng is an earth-type supernatural being, and many places where the fence was built outside were made by Peng Peng with supernatural powers. It is said that he has been promoted to the third level of supernatural ability, he can change the soil on the ground into various shapes, and his defense and attack are top-notch.
Xiao Jin also had a lot of gains. He found out that there are people with supernatural powers but no practitioners in the last days. There are not many people with supernatural powers, and there are only two people in their base. However, ordinary people may not know when their supernatural powers will be activated.
Xiao Cheng was not idle either, he found out several important locations of Peng Peng's office, residence and base, and even recorded how the patrolling personnel changed their guards.
However, the more they inquired, the more they found that the base was not as peaceful as it appeared on the surface. It is said that some people are dissatisfied with life in the base and will sneak out. But the base is so heavily guarded, how can ordinary people get out? Those so-called "sneakers" must have disappeared, and it is very likely that Peng Peng did it.
After everyone left, Chu Xiang and the three of them also went to the villa where they were temporarily staying. Unexpectedly, they ran into Peng Peng halfway.
Peng Peng asked with a smile: "How is it? How do you feel? Have you made a decision?"
Chu Xiang tentatively said: "We are not used to such a comfortable life, and we still want to go on. Sorry, thank you Mr. Peng for your hospitality today."
Peng Peng's smile did not change, but his eyes became more excited, "That's fine, I will tell you tomorrow morning, although it's a pity, but I respect your decision. It's fate to get together, let's say goodbye to everyone tomorrow morning and then set off. , I will ask someone to send you for a while and help you lead the way."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Peng." Chu Xiang said a few perfunctory words, and returned to the villa with Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng.
"He asked someone to escort us and guide us, probably because he wanted to harm us."
"Soldiers will block the water and cover it with soil, just be careful."
"He must be doing something on the road. He won't move our supplies in the morning. Check the car."
The three had a brief discussion, and each went back to their room to concentrate on cultivation. No matter when, improving strength is the most important thing. In this world, being able to fight is the kingly way.
In the early morning, Chu Xiang keenly heard voices in the yard and frowned. She speculated that Peng Peng was going to make trouble when he was sending them off. Did she guess wrong
She walked quickly to the window and looked towards the source of the sound. She raised her eyebrows unexpectedly when she saw the person coming, "Xiao Ai?"
She saw Xiao Ai bent over anxiously and carefully ran to the door of the villa, tentatively trying to get in from the surrounding windows, but all the doors and windows were locked, and there was no way out. Xiao Ai had no choice but to knock on the door, looking back while knocking, as if afraid of being known.
Chu Xiang went downstairs, opened the door and leaned against the door and asked, "It's so late, what's the matter?"
Xiao Ai hurried into the house and closed the door, grabbed Chu Xiang and said anxiously: "Sister Xiang, run quickly, Peng Peng wants to kill you, if you don't leave, it will be too late!"
