Chapter 531 The sour smell of love [first update]
General Yao said: "Yes, six years old."
Zhen Shuai raised his eyebrows.
General Yao smiled and said: "I have a young son who is about the same age as Mr. Liu's grandson. Let him follow him. He also came out of the army and is now a mutant. He will not hold us back." This is not a big deal
. Zhen Shuai also agreed.
After sending General Yao and General Liu away, he asked Song Zhengmao to announce on the radio.
When the survivors in the base heard the broadcast, they all stopped and listened.
"Attention all survivors, I am Song Zhengmao, secretary to the base director. Now I am broadcasting a notice from the base director. Tomorrow, the base director will personally lead a team of 20 people to Yonghu Building to open a passage from the airport to Yonghu Building. , and inquire about the current situation of Yonghu Building. Interested survivors can register in the mission hall in an hour. The requirements must be B-level or above warriors, regardless of gender. This time out may be longer, shorter than A week, or a month, please be mentally prepared. Above."
The broadcast was broadcast three times in total to ensure that everyone could hear it clearly.
The survivors started talking, and many people who met the requirements were moved and quickly walked towards the mission hall. The base commander only has twenty people, so they can't be late!
Survivors below Class B were very upset. If they had worked harder, they would have had a chance this time. They all know how powerful the base commander is. Traveling with the base commander will not only bring no danger, but also increase their knowledge and even get close to the base commander. It's a pity that such a good opportunity was missed by them!
Zhen Shuai sat in the office for a while, guessing that it was almost time, and took Shen Xingdu out with him.
As an increasingly perfect assistant, Song Zhengmao picked up his briefcase and followed silently.
One side of the mission hall was crowded with people, all survivors who wanted to go on a mission with Zhen Shuai.
Seeing the base commander and the man who had been inseparable from the base commander, they all became excited and said "Hello, base commander".
"Hello." Zhen Shuai approached with a smile, without any airs, just like a boy next door.
But no one dares to underestimate him.
Zhen Shuai saw two young men in camouflage uniforms standing alone. He guessed that they were General Yao's son and General Liu's grandson. He looked around twice and looked away, and said loudly: "Everyone must know that from the airport to Yonghu Building is not close."
Everyone nodded. They are basically from Yonghu City, so they naturally know the distance between the airport and Yonghu Building. Nowadays, almost the entire city is occupied by virgin forest. It is self-evident how dangerous this road will be.
"Since I'm taking everyone out, I will definitely try my best to ensure everyone's safety. However, the situation in the forest is very complicated, and I can't guarantee that I can notice everyone at all times. Therefore, this mission is still risky. "Everyone thinks it over carefully."
No one left. Since they are here, they have considered all aspects of the situation. Besides, even if they don't go on missions with the base, they will still take on other missions, which are equally dangerous.
Commander Zhen showed approval, "Well, this at least shows that everyone made a decision after careful consideration. This is good. We should be so calm in the apocalypse." Everyone was praised by such a young base commander, and they were happy at the same time
. There are still some strange feelings that cannot be explained, but overall I am more happy.
Zhen Shuai asked: "Are you all B-level or above soldiers?" Probably to let him know their level, he noticed that everyone's badges were worn on the right side of their chests.
Everyone said in unison.
"Yes!"
Zhen Shuai nodded and glanced at everyone one by one.
"You, you..."
He named twenty people in succession. Among these twenty people were ordinary people and mutants, men and women.
"Twenty of you are enough. Others, don't be disappointed. There will be many such opportunities in the future."
Those who were not selected were secretly disappointed, but upon hearing these words, they became energetic again.
"Yes!"
After they dispersed, Commander Zhen said to the twenty people, "Okay, you guys should go back and say hello to your family, and meet at the gate of the base at six o'clock tomorrow morning." "Yes, base director
! "
Twenty people left quickly with excitement.
General Yao's son and General Liu's grandson saluted Commander Zhen and left. They admired Zhen Shuai from the bottom of their hearts, but after all, he was the one who took ownership of the base from their elders, so they were still a little uncomfortable facing him.
Zhen Shuai had a good feeling about them both, and the fact that they didn't look at him with complaints or hatred showed that they were sensible.
Thinking that he would be able to leave the base tomorrow, he pulled Shen Xingdu out with great joy.
People who saw this scene seemed to be able to see a little person spinning happily in his body. It turned out that the base commander still had such a childish side, and many survivors laughed quietly.
When Shen Xingdu saw his lover's happy look, a touch of tenderness appeared in his cold eyes, and he moved his hands to interlock with his fingers.
People passing by couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. Alas, the base commander is so handsome, and Mr. Shen is also handsome. It's a pity that they belong to each other.
The next morning at around four o'clock, Zhen Shuai woke up. Without calling Shen Xingdu, he took out two backpacks from the cabinet and packed them happily.
Marshmallow and Ling'er seemed to know that they wanted to go on a long trip and hang around him.
"The governor is still sleeping, you two are not allowed to argue." Zhen Shuai squatted on the ground, rubbing the heads of his two pets with both hands, and warned in a low voice.
Marshmallow and Ling'er blinked and made a motion to cover their mouths at the same time, one with their claws and the other with their wings.
Shen Xingdu woke up as soon as Zhen Shuai came up, but he lay on the bed and didn't move, silently watching his little lover busy, the love in his eyes almost overflowing.
Zhen Shuai packed his luggage very quickly, and quickly filled both backpacks with daily necessities, changes of clothes, etc. for the two of them.
He turned around and was about to ask Shen Xingdu to get up, but found that he was already awake. He didn't know how long he had been watching him.
"Are you awake? Get up quickly."
Shen Xingdu sat up, took the person into his arms, kissed him deeply for a long time, then let go and went into the space to wash up.
Zhen Shuai touched his lips and whispered, "Have you eaten ** so early in the morning?"
It was not yet six o'clock when the two of them arrived at the gate of the base.
Zhen Shuai thought he would be the first to arrive, but he didn’t expect that twenty volunteers all came. Because they were traveling far away, there were family members who came to see them off, but they all stood far away and did not come over.
General Yao was actually there.
Zhen Shuai was speechless, "Mr. Yao, why are you here? You are trying to defeat me."
General Yao chuckled, "Basic Commander, I'm not here specifically to see you off. I got up early to take a walk and came to see you off."
Zhen Shuai shook his head helplessly, "Whether you came here specifically or just by the way, go back quickly. It's starting to get hot now. You have to pay attention to your health." "Okay, okay, I'll go back now. I wish you the best."
You have a safe journey." General Yao looked serious, "Chief of the base, the future of the base depends on you!" "Don't
worry." Zhen Shuai watched him leave.
Only then did the others come forward to say hello.
"Base director, morning."
"Morning." Zhen Shuai waved his hand and saw that they were in good spirits and had a gentler attitude. "You came so early. Have you had breakfast?" Everyone said they had.
"Before setting off, let's get to know each other first," Zhen Shuai said again.
Everyone introduced themselves one by one, and only then did Zhen Shuai know that General Yao's son was named Yao Shangzhen, and General Liu's grandson was named Liu Weihua.
Zhen Shuai nodded and opened the live broadcast room.
"Okay, let's go!"
He and Shen Xingdu were walking in front. Marshmallow and Ling'er passed them, trotting happily, extremely excited.
Others hurriedly waved goodbye to their families and hurried to follow. The farthest place they had ever been was just to the edge of the natural chasm, but this time they had to cross the natural chasm, and everyone was a little excited. Or maybe there is a crazy factor in human beings.
It's just that Commander Zhen's identity is different after all, so no one dares to speak. The whole team is quiet and the atmosphere is very strange.
Zhen Shuai didn't notice it at first. He hadn't traveled far for a long time, so he was in a very good mood. He kept talking to Shen Xingdu. In fact, he was just talking nonsense. For example, he found a medicinal herb here and a mutated animal there. He ran over... but Shen Xingdu listened carefully and echoed from time to time.
The people behind suddenly realized that this was the legendary sour smell of love.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched them quietly making sour expressions behind Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu, laughing so hard that they had no sympathy for them at all. They have been abused by the anchor and Brother Shen for a long time, so it would be nice to have a few more companions.
As they walked, Zhen Shuai suddenly felt something was wrong. He finally remembered that there were other people there. He looked serious, turned his head as if nothing had happened, and said seriously: "Follow everyone, don't fall behind."
"Yes!"
Zhen Shuai is not good. Ignore other people, and when they see the herbs again, teach them to recognize them and let them pick them up and put them away.
Liu Weihua knew the reason why his grandfather asked him to follow Zhen Shuai, so he asked: "Chief of the base, do you still know about herbal medicine?"
"That is."
Zhen Shuai nodded, "Actually, I have good medical skills - traditional Chinese medicine. That's why I didn't do it this time. The reason for bringing a doctor. If you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me."
Seeing that he was so approachable, the others dared to participate and asked a lot of questions out of curiosity. Of course, they didn't ask any questions they shouldn't have.
Zhen Shuai answered them all.
The atmosphere in the team became relaxed and comfortable.
At the beginning, the trails left by humans in the forest were relatively obvious. The deeper you go into the forest, the traces of the trails become fainter until they disappear. The direction of the forest also became difficult to discern.
Zhen Shuai stopped and raised his hand to signal the people behind him to stop, "From here on, we will start cutting down trees."
Chapter 532: The Immortal’s Means [Second Update]
Almost all the trees were thicker than their waists. Yao Shangzhen and others looked at those trees, and then looked at Zhen Shuai in embarrassment. How to cut this? Although their sisal weapons are good, if they are used to chop down such a thick tree, they will be useless after just one chop.
Zhen Shuai said: "Of course I don't ask you to cut down these trees. Just cut off the branches or peel off the bark to ensure that people passing by can easily find these traces. This road may be used frequently in the future."
Yao Shangzhen and others breathed a sigh of relief. There is no problem in cutting sisal branches and peeling bark.
"The line supervisor and I will go ahead and chop, and you guys will clean up along the route we took. The noise you create will be loud, so be careful." Zhen Shuai said, "Don't take too much care of the chopped branches and bark. When the survivors in the base find out, they will drag them back and use them as firewood."
"Yes, base director!"
Yao Shangzhen and others were holding mutated sisal to search for their targets. The properties of mutated sisal are indeed very strong, and there is no problem at all in cutting down a branch thicker than an arm with one sword. The group of people acted like a competition. It is undeniable that they also had the intention of showing off in front of the base commander and were full of motivation. Some mutated trees grow too tall and their branches are a little far from the ground. Just cut off a large piece of bark at a height of a person.
One of Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu used the Wuxie Sword and the other used the Spirit Sword. When cutting down the tree, it was like cutting tofu.
Yao Shangzhen and the others noticed it and were very envious. I don’t know where the weapons of the base commander and Mr. Shen came from. They are simply magical weapons. Seeing that Commander Zhen was in charge of the left side, he held the sword with his left hand, and Shen Xingdu was in charge of the right side. While the two of them walked forward unhurriedly, they swung their swords and knives regularly. Each time they swung, there would be a large branch or branch. When the tree bark falls down, the two of them will always avoid it in time. They are full of tacit understanding and at the same time look extremely cool.
The group of people looked at each other silently, thinking of a rumor in the base: the base commander and Mr. Shen are likely to be advanced mutants, so their skin is a normal color, not fiery red like other mutants. .
Because Commander Zhen and Shen Xingdu were good at using weapons, they soon left Yao Shangzhen, Liu Weihua and others far behind.
The two of them walked back because they didn't want to be too far away, and continued to chop down the trees left for Yao Shangzhen and the others.
Yao Shangzhen and others were very embarrassed and quickly speeded up.
Zhen Shuai reminded: "We have a heavy workload, you can just follow the pace that suits you. If you get injured, it will delay things. There is no need to compete with us, we have the advantage of weapons." He heard him take the initiative to
mention Weapons, Liu Weihua asked curiously: "Basic Commander, the weapons you and Mr. Shen must have are some kind of magic weapons, right?" Commander Zhen kept moving his hands, "So to speak. If you are
curious, you can borrow them when you take a break. Let me show you."
Yao Shangzhen and others' eyes lit up.
Zhen Shuai chopped for a while, looked at it again, and felt that it was almost done.
"Keep going."
"Hmph, hum..." A sound of animal humming came from not far away.
Liu Weihua turned his head and looked in that direction alertly, "Alert!"
After a moment, a black wild boar that was twice as tall as them strode towards them with arrogant steps. The branches slapped against it, making a "snap" sound, but to it it was just a tickle.
It's a mutated wild boar!
Yao Shangzhen and others immediately blocked Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu from behind. Not only did they not have the slightest fear, they were full of fighting spirit.
"Basic Commander, you and Mr. Shen go first, leave this mutated wild boar to us!" "
I'll do it." Zhen Shuai's voice contained a chuckle, "Business matters more. If you encounter a mutated wild boar when you come back, I'll leave it to you to deal with it."
Yao Shangzhen and others had to step aside and looked at the shining sword in his hand.
Zhen Shuai casually took two steps forward and smiled at the mutated wild boar.
The mutated wild boar couldn't understand his expression, but it felt the murderous aura on his body. It exhaled a stream of hot air angrily from its nose and raised its right front hoof to kick him.
Zhen Shuai flew up and faced him with the Wuxie Sword.
Yao Shangzhen and others saw a dazzling white light flash from the sword, and then the mutated wild boar let out a shrill scream and fell to the ground with a "boom". The body was actually split in two, and blood, internal organs, etc. flowed out. All over the floor!
Everyone's eyes widened, and a chill rose from their vests. What a terrifying power! With just one sword, the base commander cut such a huge mutated wild boar in half!
In this world, it can be said that Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu are invincible. So he didn't shy away from revealing anything in front of others.
"Xingdu, put away the wild boar and let us roast some for lunch. I will treat the blood to avoid attracting other beasts." Shen Xingdu held the wild boar's hoof, and the wild boar disappeared out of thin air
.
Yao Shangzhen and others felt dazzled and rubbed their eyes. The wild boar was indeed gone.
Zhen Shuai took out a bottle of slender spray from his pocket and sprayed it several times on the blood and internal organs on the ground. The blood and internal organs quickly turned into a pile of brown powder, and the smell of blood in the air became lighter. , completely dissipated in less than half a minute.
Yao Shangzhen and others looked at me and I looked at you, speechless.
Seeing them standing dumbly, Zhen Shuai coughed lightly.
Yao Shangzhen and others came to their senses and hurriedly stood at attention, their hearts pounding.
"Okay, don't think too much. If you really can't figure it out, just think that we are the gods who are here to save you." Zhen Shuai straightened up after making a joke, "Go on." Yao Shangzhen and the others were too frightened
. It took me a while to understand myself, and I actually started to believe that they were gods. Otherwise, how could they have such magical means?
Yao Shangzhen reminded in a low voice: "Okay, everyone, we will do whatever the base director says." Others
understood the meaning of his words and nodded silently. No matter what, Zhen Shuai is their base commander.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu walked a long way forward, but did not leave the sight of others and continued to cut branches.
Yao Shangzhen and the others felt at ease. With such a powerful presence as the base commander, their mission this time was not dangerous at all.
At noon, Zhen Shuai announced an hour's rest.
Yao Shangzhen and others looked expectantly at the weapons he and Shen Xingdu put aside casually.
Zhen Shuai picked it up and handed it over. You can read it if you want.
Yao Shangzhen and others played with it reluctantly for a while before putting it back.
Shen Xingdu cut a large piece of mutated wild boar meat, and Zhen Shuai cut it into small pieces for everyone to roast and eat.
The meat of the mutated wild boar is very fragrant and does not require any other seasonings. It only needs to be rubbed with some salt. The
lean meat is crispy and tender, and the fat meat is not greasy. Instead, it has a special fragrance. After just one bite, everyone found that their physical strength had been significantly restored, especially the mutants. It is no secret that the meat of mutant animals contains a lot of calories, so both ordinary people and mutants like to eat the meat of mutant animals.
Some of the viewers in the live broadcast room silently dug out the snacks at home, and some simply picked up the phone to order takeout, even though they had just eaten less than half an hour ago... Shen Xingdu brought out some extra, and several people stopped by after eating
. After roasting, everyone finally got a piece bigger than their fist, wrapped it in the zip-keeping bag Zhen Shuai gave them and put it in their pockets, so they could eat some when they were tired when they were cutting down trees in the afternoon.
There is nothing to say about the next process, which is just cutting branches and peeling bark... All the animals attracted by the movement here were either killed by Zhen Shuai or dealt with by Shen Xingdu. All the edible meat was kept in the space.
None of the young people had read a few books about portable space, so Yao Shangzhen and the others thought that one of Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu must have a portable space.
They were only envious of this, not coveted at all. The power of Commander Zhen and Shen Xingdu made them only in awe.
Two days later, they arrived at the edge of the natural chasm.
A steady stream of heat rose from the bottom of the chasm. After standing on the edge of the cliff for less than ten seconds, they were covered in sweat, as if they were taking a sauna, and it was a little difficult to breathe.
"Are we going to jump down from this tree and walk to the other side?" Guo Fangyi took a look and swallowed.
She is a female mutant and an A-level warrior. Everyone has noticed her performance along the way, and she is no worse than a man. But at this time, there was a hint of fear on her face. This chasm is bottomless and gives people a very scary feeling. Just by looking at it, it seems that it will be swallowed up in the next second.
Yao Shangzhen and Liu Weihua also had serious expressions. The tree looked very big and it was not difficult to stand firm on it, but if there was any negligence, they might fall down. It's not as simple as falling from a tree to the ground.
Commander Zhen saw their expressions in his eyes and asked calmly: "If there was the ground below, would you still be so scared?"
Everyone was speechless. If there is ground below, they may also be interested in walking a few more times up and down the tree.
"Xingdu, let's go first." Commander Zhen said to Shen Xingdu.
Governor Shen Xing nodded and jumped lightly.
Marshmallow followed closely behind him.
"You decide for yourself whether you want to follow or not." After speaking, Zhen Shuai jumped down.
Yao Shangzhen saw that he and Shen Xingdu quickly walked out nearly ten meters away, gritted his teeth, squatted down first, and then jumped down.
The others held their breath nervously until they saw him land safely in the tree.
Although Liu Weihua and Yao Shangzhen were separated by a generation, they were similar in age. They often competed with each other secretly. They were willing to be overwhelmed by Yao Shangzhen. They pursed their lips tightly, copied his movements, and stood on the tree smoothly. It's not that he deliberately imitated Yao Shangzhen, but it's easier to keep his balance when he squats down and then jumps.
When the remaining people saw this, no one was willing to back down.
"Don't be anxious. Let's do it one by one. Nothing will happen." Zhu Erjun said calmly.
Because they were so nervous, they didn't notice that Ling'er didn't leave, but hovered quietly behind them, wings gently flapping.
It was left by Zhen Shuai just in case. If someone does fall, it will immediately revert to its original shape and catch the person.
