Chapter 533 Fang Rou’s joining [first update]
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu arrived on the other side and rested for nearly twenty minutes before waiting for Yao Shangzhen and others. No one was missing. He nodded slightly.
Yao Shangzhen saw a rope hanging from the top, guessed that it was prepared by Zhen Shuai, and climbed up on the rope.
"Basic Director, did you prepare this rope? Thank you."
Zhen Shuai shook his head, "No."
Yao Shangzhen was shocked, "No? Who could it be?"
Zhen Shuai wrote lightly: "It should be the library in front of you. They were tied up by people from the base."
Liu Weihua and others climbed up one after another.
When they were down there just now, they all heard the conversation between Zhen Shuai and Yao Shangzhen.
"Basic director, do we have to pass by the library?" Liu Weihua asked.
Others took this time to take out their water glasses to replenish water.
Zhen Shuai nodded, "I used to pass by there when I went to the airport. If I change the route, I may not be able to find the direction of Yonghu Building smoothly." This is actually just an excuse. The real reason does not need to be known to others for the time being. .
"Then we must be more careful then." Yao Shangzhen said, "The survivors at the library base are definitely not as good as us, and they may not be happy to see us." The others looked at each other and nodded
. This is the truth. Their complexion is so good that they don't look like people living in the apocalypse. The complexion is second, and the main reason is that their mental outlook is quite good.
"Report to the base commander that we are almost out of water. We need to look for the Miaoguo tree first." Zhu Erjun said.
Zhen Shuai waved his hand, and a large bucket of water appeared in front of everyone, with a water suction device installed on it.
"Do it yourselves."
Yao Shangzhen is not a person who likes to laugh, and a happy smile appeared on his face at this time.
Everyone laughed dryly at Zhen Shuai and invariably did the same thing - raised their heads and drank up all their water. In fact, they had deliberately controlled the frequency of drinking water along the way, and they were already very thirsty.
Then they quickly went to line up to fill the water glasses.
Liu Weihua secretly took out the used plastic bag that he had not thrown away and filled it with water.
When the others saw this, their eyes lit up, and they actually took out their fresh-keeping bags.
Zhen Shuai was a little stunned, "I didn't even throw it away."
Everyone smiled bitterly inwardly. The base commander really felt a little... ignorant of the feeling of sorrow in the world. In this apocalyptic world, this little fresh-keeping bag is also a good thing. How could they throw it away?
Zhen Shuai felt very sad.
"Okay, okay, when I get back, I will give you some subsidies personally. If you want a fresh-keeping bag, I will also give each of you a roll." Yao Shangzhen and others were very happy
. This was no time to be polite, and no one was foolish enough to refuse.
"Thank you, base director!"
After they filled the water, Zhen Shuai put away the bucket.
The group continued on their way.
Not long after setting off, four thin mutants hurried over, their expressions full of vigilance. They heard the noise and came over. When they saw Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing, they immediately recognized them.
"Is it you?"
These two people left a very deep impression on them.
Zhen Shuai waved hello and said with a smile: "Hey, there are still people who remember us. Don't worry, we are just passing by and don't have any ill intentions towards your base." The four mutants did not doubt his words. There were only twenty-two people on the other side. If it was true
, To harm their base, it is impossible to send only such a small number of people. However, they were still a little concerned when they saw the bark and branches on the ground.
A mutant left quietly, probably reporting back to the base.
Zhen Shuai did not stop him.
"Excuse me, what is this?" a mutant asked politely.
Commander Zhen put down his backpack and pulled Shen Xingdu to sit down. He sat on the ground next to Shen Xingdu, leaned against him relaxedly, and said lazily: "Let's wait until your leader comes." The three mutants were happy.
Just like this, standing quietly aside, exchanging glances occasionally.
Yao Shangzhen and the others didn't sit down. They seemed to be standing relaxed, but in fact they were very wary of their surroundings.
Not far away, Marshmallow and Linger were carefreely teasing a butterfly that flew over from nowhere.
Shen Xingdu took out a bottle of juice from his backpack and handed it to Zhen Shuai.
Zhen Shuai drank half of the drink and couldn't finish it, so Shen Xingdu drank it all naturally.
Everyone else noticed the water droplets on the bottle, which looked like water droplets produced when a chilled drink was suddenly heated. They looked at Shen Xingdu with a bit of surprise in his eyes.
Fang Rou walked over quickly with a group of subordinates, and gave Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu a polite smile from a distance. Noticing that all of them looked very good, she remained calm on her face, but was shocked in her heart.
"Two little brothers, I didn't expect to see you again. It's a pleasure to meet you. I am Fang Rou, the leader of the library base."
After approaching, she extended her hand to Zhen Shuai.
"Miss Fang, nice to meet you. I'm Zhen Shuai." Zhen Shuai stood up, gently held her hand, and left her at the touch.
Fang Rou glanced at the branches and bark on the ground, "Brother Zhen, if you don't mind, why don't you come to our base and sit for a while?"
Zhen Shuai said: "I won't go for now. If Miss Fang doesn't mind, we want to stay in your base tonight. Stay at the base for one night."
Fang Rou remembered what happened last time because they wanted to stay at the base.
"Of course there is no problem. You two are guests from afar. If you need our help with anything else, you can just say it. If you can help, the little girl will not be stingy." Zhen Shuai secretly thought that this girl is not simple, but he has no intention
. hide.
"We are coming from the airport base, and this trip is to open up a passage from the airport base to Yonghu Building. Because the last time I came here, I passed by the entrance of your base. In order to prevent getting lost in the forest, this passage may have to be Pass by the gate of your base."
Fang Rou received too much information at once and could no longer remain calm.
"Airport base? Can you tell me what the airport base is like?"
Zhen Shuai glanced at Yao Shangzhen.
Yao Shangzhen stepped forward with a serious look on his face and said solemnly: "Our airport base is based at Yonghu Airport. Currently, there are... among them, soldiers... mutants... ordinary people..." He didn't say anything that shouldn't be said
. Zhen Shuai nodded secretly. General Yao's youngest son is not as unreasonable as General Yao said.
Qian Bo glanced at Fang Rou, who lowered her eyes as if thinking about something.
Qian Bo asked Yao Shangzhen naively, "Are the other people in your base the same as you? You seem to be living a good life, unlike us." Yao Shangzhen glanced at Zhen Shuai, a little proud, "Yes, our base is in
our The base has developed very well under the leadership of the base commander, and everyone is like us!"
Qian Bo's appearance of being silly does not mean that he is really silly. He has long seen the military temperament in Yao Shangzhen, so the possibility of him lying is unlikely. If that's the case, this airport base is definitely not simple. However, if there is no reliance, how can the airport base dare to forcibly open a road between the airport and Yonghu Tower at such a long distance.
He looked at Fang Rou uncertainly.
Fang Rou raised her head and stared at Zhen Shuai, and said in a deep voice: "I can promise you to let the passage pass through the entrance of our base, but I have a condition." It is very rare for a woman to have such courage, Zhen Shuai originally thought that she would have to think about it for a long time
. . He always admired this kind of people and nodded gently.
"Tell me about it."
Fang Judao: "I hope you can allow me to send a team to Yonghu Building with you. What is the situation in our base? Brother Zhen, you saw it last time. If you can, We want to go to Yonghu Mall to replenish some supplies. It doesn't matter to us adults, but there are still many children in the base."
Zhen Shuai knew that she was playing the sympathy card because she was worried about being rejected, and he didn't mind.
"Yes, but your people will have to contribute equally when the time comes."
Fang Rou suppressed her inner excitement, "No problem, I'll arrange for people to come over and help now."
Zhen Shuai was confident.
Yao Shangzhen and others were still a little worried that Fang Rou actually sent people to deal with the base commander. When they saw that Fang Rou sent 21 people, they also began to admire this woman. This number happened to be one less than their number, which was obviously a sign of goodwill.
"Brother Zhen, I'll be waiting for you at the base. Please allow me to entertain you all tonight." Fang Rou smiled lightly.
"Thank you, Miss Fang."
Fang Rou left with the others, leaving behind twenty-one helpers.
With their joining, Zhen Shuai and the others moved much faster, and opened the passage from Tianqian to the library before dark.
Fang Rou had someone prepare a rather sumptuous dinner. They didn't know where they collected barbecue racks, roasted a lot of meat, mushrooms and vegetables, and also cooked a large pot of fragrant wild bird egg soup.
Water is scarce in the last days, so boiling this pot of soup requires a lot of water. This is a very generous reception.
Fang Rou didn't look at Zhen Shuai like other women who always looked at him with sticky eyes, and even wanted to get closer to him. Shen Xingdu had a good attitude towards her, and saw that she had baked the food himself and put it in front of Zhen Shuai. There was no air-conditioning on her plate.
Fang Rou saw that Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu were a couple last time, so she did not dare to ignore Shen Xingdu and put the second portion of baked food on his plate.
Shen Xingdu nodded slightly and raised his hand to indicate that enough was enough.
Fang Rou smiled and nodded.
"I hope it suits your taste. I haven't learned anything else in this post-apocalyptic world, but I have learned a lot about barbecue food."
Zhen Shuai had already tasted it, and it was OK. "It tastes very good."
Neither party discussed any sensitive topics, so they used A relatively pleasant dinner.
The room Fang Rou arranged for them was also very nice. Although it was simple, it was very clean.
After staying comfortably for one night and having breakfast the next morning, a total of forty-three people from both parties set off together.
Fang Rou personally led the team. In addition to Qian Bo, she also brought nineteen other subordinates, all of whom were mutants.
At the beginning, the two teams were inevitably wary of each other. After seeing how Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu cut down trees, the people on Fang Rou's side simply put all their guard down. With the abilities of those two people, how can you manipulate them? It's useless to be on guard, it's better to be calm and maybe gain some favor.
Since they took the initiative to give in, the entire team has become harmonious and their work efficiency has also improved a lot.
Chapter 534 People from Asan Kingdom [Second update]
Zhen Shuai did not allow the passage to pass through the entrance of the cement factory base. There were too few people at the cement factory base, and he wanted to eliminate the possibility of people from the Yonghu Building base and library base attacking the cement factory base. He planned to find an opportunity to go over and take a look when he returned.
Unconsciously, half a month later, when Yao Shangzhen and others saw the tall buildings towering in the distance through the gaps in the branches, they could no longer hold back their excited cheers.
"That's Yonghu Building, right? It's finally here!"
In the past half month, a group of them had suffered a lot. The main problem is water. Since Fang Rou and his party joined, Zhen Shuai has not provided them with water, so they can only look for the Miaoguo tree. There are many pomegranate trees in the forest, but there are many animals living near each pomegranate tree, so a few battles are inevitable. Even so, they still didn't get much water, just enough to drink every day and simply wipe their faces when they got up in the morning.
The people on Fang Rou's side were especially excited. This is the second survivor base they have seen since entering the apocalypse. Seeing Yonghu Building, the loneliness in their hearts subsided a little.
With a relaxed smile on her face, Fang Rou looked in the direction of the building and said, "If we hurry up, we should be able to get there in two hours." "Then work harder!" Liu Weihua said excitedly
.
The others didn't say anything nonsense and continued to cut branches and peel bark while holding mutated sisal.
They were almost reaching their destination, and Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing made no move.
No one else had any complaints. Everyone knew that they were lucky because Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu had almost shouldered half of the work along the way. If it weren't for Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu, I'm afraid they would have spent at least several months, or even a year, to open this passage.
Not only that, they also gained another benefit along the way, that is, their combat effectiveness was improved. Especially the twenty people at the airport base. Every time they encounter mutant animals, with Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu at their side to protect them, they can fight against mutant animals with confidence. Their actual combat experience has become quite rich, and their boxing and sword skills are even more proficient. They all dared to confidently say that if they took the assessment again after returning, their warrior level would be improved by at least one level, or even two levels.
Fang Rou, Qian Bo and others had been observing secretly. Just one day after setting off, they discovered the power of the boxing and swordsmanship they used and secretly learned it.
Liu Weihua reported it to Zhen Shuai at that time, and Zhen Shuai told them to leave it alone. In fact, he had already discovered it.
"You are all happy, please keep the noise as small as possible. There is a mutated giant python nearby. If you can avoid alerting, don't alert."
Everyone said "yes" without panicking at all. It is true that Commander Zhen and Shen Xingdu are so powerful and have powerful weapons that they cannot be nervous at all.
After enduring the sweltering heat for two hours, I got closer to the Yonghu Building and could see it more clearly.
Fang Rou suggested: "Brother Zhen, I just saw a fruit tree over there. Let's get some water and wash it well before going out." This is not only because of love for beauty, but also because you don't want to be beaten by the survivors of Yonghu Tower. The reader looked down upon it.
Commander Zhen glanced at everyone sympathetically and said, "Okay." He and Shen Xingdu had been feeling refreshed from the first day they went out, until now. This group of people was in a miserable condition. They were no better than beggars. Not only were their clothes torn, but they also emitted a strong rancid smell.
He personally led everyone to a Miaoguo tree, with his left hand in his pocket, and the Wuxie sword in his right hand holding the sword flower elegantly. White lights flashed past, and the wrinkled leaves on the Miaoguo tree fell down one after another. . In less than two minutes, all the leaves on one of the thick branches were cut off, leaving only heavy miao fruits.
Zhen Shuai slowly walked aside with his hands behind his back, "Take it off!"
"Thank you, base director!" Yao Shangzhen and others shouted in unison in surprise, then realized that they had spilled the beans and looked at Zhen Shuai nervously.
Fang Rou and others were shocked. Zhen Shuai is the base director of the airport base?
Zhen Shuai waved his hand, "Okay, okay, hurry up. If you have anything to do, we'll talk about it later."
Fang Rou and others looked at the attractive miao fruits on the tree, and decided to put aside Zhen Shuai's identity for the time being. A group of people were divided into two groups, one group went up the tree to pick fruits, and the other group followed below.
After picking enough Miao fruits, they divided into two teams, male and female, and each found a secluded place to freshen up.
Zhen Shuai found a cool place and sat down with Shen Xingdu to eat and drink some water.
Everyone brought a change of clothes. After more than 20 minutes, they packed up neatly and walked out cleanly. The men were cool and the women were pretty, which was quite eye-catching.
Speaking of which, the people at the library base have been blessed by Zhen Shuai all the way. They eat well, drink well, relax mentally, and take good care of themselves. Their skin is plump and shiny, and their mental outlook is almost the same as before. Two completely different people.
They can feel this state themselves, and when they think of Zhen Shuai's true identity as the base commander, they can't help but have a lot of thoughts in their hearts.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu walked in the front, with Marshmallow and Ling'er following them. The others followed closely and walked toward the outside of the forest, but were blocked by a wall.
The fence is made of thick tree trunks crowded together, connected together with wooden boards, and mutated pine needles serve as nails, which are very strong. Although this cannot eliminate large mutant animals, it can still stop small mutant animals.
People in the base need to go to the forest to find food and water, so this wall must have a door.
Zhen Shuai and the others walked along the wall for nearly twenty minutes when they saw an open doorway. There is no door panel installed in the doorway, but there are ten braziers, some high and some short, with blazing fire burning in the pots. Humans can enter and exit from here, just be careful to avoid the brazier. Most animals are afraid of fire, so this can prevent some animals from intruding.
At this time, six people holding long watermelon knives came from the side.
It turns out there is a duty room next to it.
Zhen Shuai frowned when he saw these six people. These six people are all red-skinned mutants, but it can still be seen from their facial contours that they are not Chinese, but people like Asan.
"Who are you?"
"Who are you?" One of the guards asked in awkward Japanese, and at the same time gestured to the other guard to report the news.
They didn't know everyone in the base, but they all had a basic impression that they had never seen this group of people before.
Zhen Shuai's eyes flashed, "I'm here to see Jiang Shaohui. I want to ask him if he still wants the batch of supplies he asked me to keep? If not, I will keep the supplies myself.
" ?
The eyes of the five guards were all bright, and their attitudes immediately changed.
"Everyone, please come in first. Our leader will be here soon."
Zhen Shuai and the others walked around the brazier and walked into the wall.
A guard also moved two chairs from the cabin and placed them next to Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu. As for why he is so discerning, it is because Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu are holding hands.
"Both of you, please take a seat."
Yao Shangzhen, Fang Rou and others stood behind Commander Zhen and Shen Xingdu in tacit agreement, with their heads held high and their chests high, showing an amazing momentum.
Five guards stood opposite, quietly sizing them up and secretly guessing their identities.
After waiting for about half an hour, a tall and muscular mutant from Asan Kingdom appeared with seven or eight guards holding rifles.
The guard who moved chairs for Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu hurried forward and whispered something in the mutant's ear.
The guard who spoke first introduced to Zhen Shuai and the others in a low voice: "This is our leader, Mr. Gabriel."
Zhen Shuai's brows furrowed.
The faces of Yao Shangzhen and others were very ugly. A person from Asan Kingdom turned out to be the leader of a survivor base in their country. This is absolutely terrible news.
Zhen Shuai saw Gabriel giving a few instructions to a subordinate, and the subordinate quickly ran towards the building.
"My friends who have come from afar, welcome to Yonghu Base!"
Gabriel smiled and extended his hand to Zhen Shuai. Not only was he tall, but his voice was also very high. His words were like thunder, making people's ears buzz and making them very uncomfortable.
Zhen Shuai stood up and shook hands with him with a faint smile. "Mr. Gabriel, it's a pleasure to meet you. I didn't expect to disturb you. Maybe your subordinates didn't convey the message clearly. I'm here to see my friend Jiang Shaohui." "I'm here.
" I know, I know, I've already asked someone to invite him. My friend, I haven't asked you what to call you yet?" Gabriel's eyes passed over the group of people, and there were unrecognizable emotions hidden in his narrowed eyes.
Zhen Shuai breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that Jiang Shaohui is still alive.
"My surname is Zhen, and I mean handsome."
"Really handsome?" A flash of displeasure flashed through Gabriel's eyes. Although he was not proficient in Chinese slang, he also knew what "really handsome" meant. How could his name be "so handsome"?
The audience could guess what he was thinking by looking at his expression and couldn't stop laughing.
[Sorry, our anchor is really called "Zhen Shuai"!]
[You crooks will never understand how broad and profound my language is. 】
【Friends, don’t discriminate against Wai Guo Keren. I am just a crooked nut, but in my heart I am actually a ** person. 】
Gabriel quickly put a smile on his face, "Mr. Zhen Shuai, look at me, I'm neglecting you. Please, let's go in and talk slowly." "Mr. Gabriel, please." Zhen Shuai nodded with a smile, looking
like Simple and harmless.
Gabriel glanced at the other people around him, knowing that he was definitely not as simple as he seemed, otherwise, how could these strong men be willing to follow him.
The two of them were chatting while walking. If two more people were arranged to take photos next to them, it would look like a friendly meeting between the leaders of the two countries.
Zhen Shuai always had a smile on his face, as if he didn't even notice that the muzzles of Gabriel's guns were faintly aimed at them.
