"The first team has been cleaned up, and no trace of mutated plants has been found."

"Second team has been cleaned up..."

"The third team has been cleaned up..."

After listening to the report below and confirming that it was relatively safe outside the base, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.

One person said: "Let the logistics department collect crystal nuclei."

"Yes!"

The troops outside wearing flamethrowers slowly withdrew to the base, and some staff wearing protective clothing carried special material collection boxes and began to search for the remaining crystal cores in the ruins.

It was not until the dead of night that the clean-up work outside was roughly completed. The clean-up personnel collected a circle like sweeping the map, and returned to the base with the spoils. Forklifts were dispatched to scoop up the charred corpses outside and transport them to the big pit just dug for burial.

"Reporting to the head, the number of crystal nuclei collected this time is about ten or twenty thousand, which is estimated... about one tenth."

Hearing the following report, the person sitting in the middle took off his glasses and rubbed his temples with a tired expression: "Those plants move so fast... Didn't the vanguard capture any living samples?"

One person stood up with a look of shame and said: "When the vanguard came out of the base, they found a living mutant plant, but after cleaning up the ground part, they dug up the soil where the plant had stayed... They found that there were only some holes in it, but no plants could be found. root."

The atmosphere in the room dropped again, and some people quietly exchanged worried expressions.

"Let's do this first, and if you find a mutant plant when you go out, try to bring back a living sample." This kind of thing is too dangerous, and it seems that they can be buried in the soil and wait for an opportunity to attack. That being said, some teams that went out before but had no news of them might not have died in the mouths of zombies...

"Send someone to check the situation in L city in H province in two days. Let the people who go out this time be more vigilant and don't get too close to the destination. Once the observation is clear, come back and return to life immediately, and do not forcefully enter the urban area of L city!"

"Sir, you mean..."

"The matter in City L may also have something to do with mutant plants. People in our base have never encountered such a thing before. The two previous teams who went to investigate the situation might just not understand the characteristics of this plant... Okay. , let's move on to the next meeting, about the reward for the survivors who participated in this operation in the base!"

"The base has consumed a lot of food, ammunition, gasoline and other things after this zombie attack. The quantity of these materials is limited, and a lot has been consumed during this defensive battle..."

"But you can't give up rewards at all, right? This will hurt the hearts of the people."

"But we must also consider the future. The retreat of the zombies this time is very strange. What if this kind of thing happens again soon? This time I will give a big reward, what about the next time? You can't empty the warehouse and send them things, right? ?"

"The production speed of the military factory in the base is limited, and since there are so many ability users below, and their strength is much higher than the power of ordinary firearms, there is no problem even if they are not given hot force support."

"And gasoline, which has now become a non-renewable resource, and this defense has consumed so much, we must consider sustainable development..."

"And that crystal nucleus. It is still unclear what the crystal nucleus does. Experiments have shown that swallowing the crystal nucleus by mistake will indeed cause ordinary people to mutate into zombies. This kind of thing is too dangerous, and I personally feel that this unstable thing must be controlled. In the hands of the base officials, after thoroughly researching the use of this thing, it is allowed to circulate below!"

"Everyone is right. We can't let the people chill, and we can't ignore the future of the base..."

The hum reverberated through the room until it was bright the next day...

——————

The young couple slept from noon on the first day to early morning on the next day, and had a good night's sleep. Fang Hao was still a little confused when he woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he was looking face to face with a pair of watery dumplings lying on his chest and playing bouncing.

"Where's Zizhong?" Fang Hao hugged the dumpling and rubbed it in his arms... Well, good play, good q, good rub...

The dumpling was happily kneaded into various twisted shapes by his family, but fortunately, this guy seemed to have a thick skin and no pain.

He Zizhong was not in the bedroom, Fang Hao thought for a while, and probed his spiritual power into the space. Perhaps the area became too large after the space was upgraded. He was so violent that he didn't notice anything.

The voice of going upstairs came from outside the door - well, no need to look, no one entered the space.

"Awake?" After He Zizhong entered the door, he saw Fang Hao holding the white dumpling and rubbing his eyes with a gentle smile on his face.

"Well... What time is it? I feel dizzy from sleep." Sleeping for too long often has side effects. Fang Hao now has a hangover feeling.

"Let's rest for a while. I just went out to get today's newspaper. The base will not open the gate for the past two days, and people will not be allowed to enter or leave the base at will. Even if we go out, there is nothing to do." Paper of extremely poor material is placed on the bed.

"Is there no danger outside the base?"

"It should not be for the time being." The newspaper was full of music and dance, and there was no other special news. It only focused on the battle of united will to defend the homeland, about the mutant plants that appeared later, and how to distribute the crystal nuclei in the zombie's brain There is no news about the matter, but the upper level of the base will count the losses of this defensive battle as soon as possible, and distribute some reward materials to the members who have participated in the defensive mission.

"Then let's go back to space these days?"

"Well, go back to the space to tidy up the fields and crops, and prepare some more of those pancakes." When they were out with the Samsara team before, and when they were defending the city wall these days, Fang Hao made the food they both ate. The improved cake that imitated the base multigrain cake was almost eaten by both of them now, and they had to take the opportunity to prepare some more.

"Okay, I'll go right now." Fang Hao said that he was about to get up, but He Zizhong held him down: "No hurry, you can rest first, then go back to the hot spring and get busy."

The young couple made a plan and were going to prepare some more things while the base was closed for a few days. One of the two was in charge of cooking, and the other was in the field to choose a location to prepare a variety of red beans. At present, if you want to imitate the type of pancakes in the base, red beans are definitely a major force. Nowadays, the fields are very rich. In addition to rice, noodles and vegetables, there are many places that can be used to grow various grains.

From time to time, the dumplings wandered around Fang Hao, and from time to time they ran to He Zizhong's side. After a while, they would leave the space by themselves and go back to the villa to see if anyone came to the door - this is what He Zizhong explained to him. its task. For the past few days, everyone has been squatting in the base, and maybe someone will come to visit.

He Zizhong originally estimated that even if someone came to the door, it should be from the Samsara team, but when he left the space and saw Xu Lili standing at the gate of his house... could he pretend not to see it

"Cousin..." Xu Lili, who had tears in her eyes, stood at the gate of her house and wiped away her tears. She called her with her soprano voice when she saw her...

Suppressing the urge to turn around and leave, He Zizhong walked to the gate of the courtyard with a dark face, but did not invite her in. As for how did Xu Lili know that she lived here? Whether she checked it from the community registration office or accidentally discovered it when someone from the overlord passed by, she might have learned that she lived here.

"What's up?"

Seeing that He Zizhong didn't mean to invite herself in and sit down, Xu Lili pressed her lips together to suppress the idea of conflict with him, and took a deep breath—she came to seek help, not to turn against He Zizhong.

"Brother... On the mission at the base two days ago, people from the base came to our team and forcibly took me to the logistics side... I planted the land for three full days!" Xu Lili looked angry, "I even took a break. There's no time! They asked us to plant trees that can produce wood and transport them to the wall for city defense. I worked so hard for so long, and when I got home this morning, I caught Alan and others in bed!!"

He Zi raised his eyebrows heavily: "Someone else?" Male or female? and Dai Jun

"Two bastards, two!" Xu Lili stretched out two fingers angrily, and her fingers almost stuck in He Zizhong's face.

... 3p ah? He is not afraid of kidney deficiency.

He Zizhong's expression was a little distorted. Facing Xu Lili's anger, he didn't know what to say at this time. Sow discord? Is it still use provocation in this situation? comfort? He didn't know how to comfort Xu Lili now. Allen's behavior was much hotter than Dai Jun's betrayal. At least he only found one man, and he didn't do it in front of him, but Allen had already played it openly. np…

Xu Lili lowered her head and wiped away her tears again: "Brother, I don't want to stay with him anymore... Is he worthy of me? I worked hard for the Overlord team and was forcibly taken away by the base, but he was making fun of him at home! Yes! Is he like this? He didn't even call me when I came out just now!"

He Zizhong estimated that Xu Lili's biggest resentment should be in the last sentence. She was not complaining about Allen's carelessness, but felt that she was not as high in Ellen's heart as she initially estimated.

Without waiting for He Zizhong to say anything, Xu Lili complained to herself again: "I know those little goblins are staring at him all day long! But I've only left for a few days? Isn't it possible that I can't come back? How could he do this!"

Rubbing his temples with a headache, He Zizhong reminded: "I forgot to ask before, are you and Alan officially dating?"

Xu Lili looked up at him in surprise: "Of course!!"

"Has he introduced you to others as his girlfriend?"

Xu Lili was instantly stuck, and her expression froze.
