Chapter 539: Collective Migration [First update]
Zhen Shuai asked again how everyone was preparing for the martial arts competition.
This question played into the audience's mind. They all said that there was not enough time because they wanted to make the game more exciting and hoped that the anchor would give them more time.
It was just a small matter, and Zhen Shuai immediately agreed.
[Okay, I’ll give you two more months. 】
The audience was overjoyed. With these two months, they would be better prepared.
Nothing special happened until we got back to the airport base.
The people in the base shouted happily when they saw them:
"The base chief is back! The base chief is back!"
Before Zhen Shuai and the others entered, Song Zhengmao and a large group of people came quickly to greet them.
Zhen Shuai walked inside surrounded by everyone, and noticed that everyone had a strange look of joy on their faces. He felt that it was not because of his return.
"Assistant Song, what happened?"
Song Zhengmao looked serious and said: "Basic Director, I originally planned to wait until you have rested before reporting to you. A week ago, our base was attacked by a beast tide for the second time. But this time the mortality rate is less than 8%!"
A smile appeared on Zhen Shuai's face, "Very good, I finally lived up to my hard work."
The survivors who passed by greeted him happily when they saw him, with full expressions. Be respectful and grateful.
"Hello, Base Chief."
"Base Chief, welcome back!"
"Base Chief, thank you for your hard work!"
Zhen Shuai kept nodding his head.
When he was approaching the office building, he said to Yao Shangzhen and others: "Your mission has been completed. Go back and reunite with your family. You can collect the mission rewards at any time." Yao Shangzhen and others looked somewhat reluctant
. Growing up with the base can not only increase your knowledge, but also lead a wonderful life almost every day.
Liu Weihua chuckled and asked boldly: "Chief of the base, next time there is a similar mission, can we still follow you?"
Shen Xingdu held Commander Zhen's hand tightly for a moment.
Zhen Shuai smiled slightly and said, "We'll talk about the future later."
"Yes!" Although Liu Weihua and the others were disappointed, they did not dare to say anything more. After saluting, they left in a slapstick manner.
Along the way, twenty of them also became friends.
General Yao and General Liu both greeted Zhen Shuai at the door of his office.
Zhen Shuai quickly invited them in.
General Yao briefly talked about what happened in the past month or so.
The beast attack a few days ago was more ferocious than the last time. Thanks to the survivors, they learned their skills and worked together to successfully push back the beast tide, and the mortality rate was controlled to less than 8%. . Compared with the last time, this result is so surprising.
Zhen Shuai also talked about the situation at Yonghu Building.
The two generals were very angry when they learned that the base had previously fallen into the hands of the Asan people.
Zhen Shuai said: "So I decided to start the transfer tomorrow."
General Yao was stunned, "So urgent?"
Zhen Shuai said lightly: "It's not urgent, but there is no need to stay here anymore."
General Yao thought the same thing.
"Should we transfer them all or in batches?"
Zhen Shuai said: "There is no need to separate them in batches. If you want to go, just go together." If it is done in batches, no one will want to be left behind.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. But if we walk together, the speed will definitely be very slow." General Yao had no objection. He also wanted to go to Yonghu Building as soon as possible to train the survivors there. They were the first group of people to be taught boxing skills by Zhen Shuai, but they did not cherish this opportunity. He hated them quite a bit. It is foreseeable that after the troops pass by, the survivors of Yonghu Building will suffer.
"It doesn't matter, just slow down." Zhen Shuai thought of the several planes parked at the airport, which was a pity, "It's just that there is no place to land there, otherwise, the elderly and children can be transferred by plane." General Yao didn't care,
" Don't be afraid if there are old people and children, just help each other when the time comes."
Zhen Shuai just said casually. Since we are in the last days, it is inevitable to suffer some sins.
He told Song Zhengmao, "Go and inform now. Those who are on missions outside should not be left behind." "Yes, base commander, don't worry, I will make arrangements." After finishing speaking, Song Zhengmao went out first.
General Yao and General Liu looked at Commander Zhen with relief.
Zhen Shuai was heartbroken when they saw him.
"If you and I have nothing else to do, please go back and rest."
General Yao and General Liu looked at each other and smiled, understanding that the other party was thinking the same thing as themselves. The base should be completely handed over to Zhen Shuai. Even if Zhen Shuai is willing to give up the ownership of the base, he must be allowed to sit in the position of base director for ten or eight years.
General Yao smiled with some evil intentions, "Hehehe, okay, okay. The base commander has had a hard time this time, so we won't delay you and Mr. Shen's rest." Zhen Shuai didn't care what they were thinking, waiting for
them After leaving, he immediately entered the fairyland with Shen Xingdu, Marshmallow and Ling'er.
During this period of time, the two of them never had a chance to be intimate, which was really hard.
The two of them toiled in the fairyland for a long time before they had enough fun, ate something more, and fell asleep hugging each other. No matter how boiling it was outside, it would not affect them.
All survivors are willing to go to Yonghu Tower, for no other reason than because it is more suitable for living than the airport. At the airport base, there are basically hundreds or thousands of people crowded into a room without any private space. Sometimes, whoever gets something good has to find a place to eat it secretly outside. It’s hard to save money, because if you don’t eat it, someone else might steal it. There is no way to check even if you want to. For another example, couples have no chance of living as a couple even if they want to. Older couples just have nothing to do with their married life, but they can't help but think about their children, right? Even if it is the end of the world, children will have to find a partner when they are old enough, and if they have a partner, they will have a place to live. On top of that, things can easily go wrong when so many people live together. In the apocalypse, the survival rate of women is much lower than that of men. Fights between several men because of a woman often happen, and there are even more disgusting things that would make your ears dirty if you talk about them.
Therefore, after the upper-level leaders of the base learned about the reaction from below, they felt relieved and even saved the mobilization work.
Early the next morning, the survivors had their last meal at the airport base, and then left the base holding their children, supporting the elderly, and carrying their luggage.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu stayed at the end and collected all the supplies in the warehouse. They also collected some things that the survivors could not take away. Zhen Shuai has asked the pilots to move several intact aircraft into the repair room and lock them up. Humans may still be able to use them in the future.
By the time the two left, it could be said that the entire airport had been emptied by them.
In the live broadcast room, both domestic and foreign audiences looked at the mighty team and invariably heard the sound of the 25,000-mile Long March in Chinese history.
Foreign audiences sincerely admire the people's resilience and hard-working qualities. They couldn't help but wonder, what is the current situation of the people in this world and their country at this time? They put forward suggestions to the anchor and asked the anchor to show them the situation in foreign countries.
After the ** audience saw their barrage, their curiosity was aroused and they couldn't help but feel a little proud. Their ** survivors will definitely live a good life if the anchor is there, but this may not be the case for foreign survivors.
Zhen Shuai thought for a while and did not refuse, [Okay, but not now, and I can't care about other things now. After the task is completed, I will show you around. ]
Foreign audiences happily gave him many gifts. They know that the anchor is a very soft-hearted person and will definitely come to the rescue after seeing foreign survivors.
Because the team was so large, the march was indeed very slow. Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu couldn't bear it after walking at the back of the team for a while. After he made Ling'er grow bigger, he took him and Shen Xingdu to fly to the front of the team and said hello to General Yao.
"General Yao, take your time. The governor and I are waiting for you at Yonghu Building." "
Okay, base commander, leave this to me." General Yao smiled understandingly, his eyes full of kindness and tolerance. No matter how capable the base commander is, he is still a child. He must have gotten bored following the slow team.
Commander Zhen took Shen Xingdu and Marshmallow and flew away with peace of mind.
Others were so envious that they couldn't help but fantasize about catching a mutated bird in the future and taming it as a mount to see how majestic the base looks!
Zhen Shuai did not immediately fly to the Yonghu base as he said, and spent a few days in the fairyland with Shen Xingdu before riding Ling'er there.
Something big happened with General Yao.
When the survivors learned that they had to pass through two connected trees to reach the other side of the chasm, many people backed down and complained.
"This is too dangerous. If we fall down and die, I won't go over!" "
Yeah, isn't this going to cost us death? If I had known we had to cross this "bridge", we might as well have stayed at the airport base." "Husband,
you Do you dare to let our daughter take such a risk? Although we can hold her, what if she is afraid of struggling? We will all fall!" "General, this won't work, it's too dangerous. How about we think about it again
? Other ways?"
General Yao had a headache from their quarrel.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing! It's very simple. Those who want to go can go, and those who don't want to go can stay. Now start crossing the bridge. There should be no more than fifty people standing on the trees at a time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that these two trees won't be able to bear it. However, since these two trees are so strong, there shouldn't be any problem." His words frightened some people who had not hesitated into hesitating
.
General Liu glanced at General Yao helplessly, not knowing whether he did it on purpose or not.
He waved to his soldiers, "You go through first."
"Yes!"
The soldiers were different and jumped down without hesitation.
As time went by, more and more people crossed the bridge, and those left behind began to feel panic.
"What should we do? Do we really want to stay?"
Chapter 540 Human Wisdom [First update]
It was already a week after Zhen Shuai learned about this incident, and nearly 50,000 people stayed on the opposite side and did not follow.
His reaction was very bland, and he only said three words, "I understand."
Although Song Zhengmao has been with him for a while, he still can't see through him.
"Please come over, General Yao."
"Yes."
General Yao and Song Zhengmao both just arrived today. But General Yao was in very good spirits. The situation at Yonghu Building was much better than at the airport base, which made him eager to show off his talents immediately.
When he learned that Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing were going on a long trip again, he simply said: "Okay, you can safely leave the matters in the base to me. How many people do you plan to take with you this time?" Commander Zhen said, "Not a single person." General
Yao
asked with concern: "What private matter are you dealing with? Do you need my help?" "
It's not a private matter." Commander Zhen looked at Governor Shen inquiringly, not sure if now was the best time to tell General Yao about the matter. .
Shen Xingdu said calmly: "Shuai Shuai, they still have to rely on themselves after all."
General Yao looked stern, leaned forward unconsciously, and said solemnly: "Basic Commander, did you find something? Just say it, the old man will bear it You can live there."
Zhen Shuai felt that what the governor said made sense, but why had he forgotten that he could only lead the people of this world away, not carry them on his back.
"In this case, I won't hide it from you. The things under the cracks are getting closer and closer to the ground, and something is wrong. So I want to find a few more cracks to investigate and see what is going on." General Yao's
expression The moment was extremely solemn. In fact, Zhen Shuai mentioned a long time ago that the temperature inside the moat is gradually rising. But because he had too many things on hand and the matter was not that urgent, he forgot about it as time went by.
"Basic Director, I leave this matter to you and Mr. Shen."
Zhen Shuai nodded, "I will try my best to find out. I will leave after placing something on the roof.
"What is it?" General Yao ask.
Zhen Shuai said lightly: "It is an aircraft. I will make it float above the building, tie a huge hot air balloon on it, and write the name of the base. I believe that the survivors who see it will try their best to come over. The aircraft The lights will be turned on at night. Please tell the people below not to be scared."
"Aircraft?" General Yao shook his hand holding the teacup and said calmly, "Okay, I understand."
Zhen Shuai added: "My initial setting is that the base must accommodate at least five million people. Managing five million people is not an easy task. Please worry about it." General Yao said: "The management regulations you have formulated are very mature. According to these regulations
, There's nothing to worry about. I only need to be responsible for training everyone. But when will you come back?" Zhen Shuai was not sure, "It will take a month or two." In fact, most of
his
tasks have been completed and he can do everything he needs to do. All that has been done has been done. Next, we just need to wait for the survivors to come by themselves until the total number of people in the base reaches five million. He could ignore what was under the crack, but he always felt that it would be a huge threat to humans, and he was really curious, so he decided to check it out.
General Yao silently made a few more additions to the original training plan in his mind. He believes that as long as every survivor becomes a strong person, no matter what is under the cracks, mankind will have a little more control.
Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing left again. Except for General Yao, General Liu, and Song Zhengmao, few people originally knew about it.
In order to save time, they still rode Ling'er, so everyone below could see it. Zhen Shuai had no intention of concealing his whereabouts, so he didn't care. He saw it when he was seen.
The mutated giant python resting in the forest was sleeping soundly and keenly heard the movement above its head. What it dislikes most is people or animals moving above its head. It stuck out its head violently and opened its mouth habitually, trying to bite the target. Suddenly, a familiar palpitation surged into its heart, and it instinctively retracted its head. Only then could it clearly see the enemy in front of it. It was stunned for a few seconds, then retracted into the forest with a whoosh, and fled without a trace.
When the people in the building saw this scene, they shed a cold sweat for the base director.
Zhen Shuai ignored the giant python and signaled the spiritual eagle to continue flying forward. It's not without its benefits to have such a mutated giant python nearby. Carnivores generally have a sense of territory, and other giant animals will not easily approach them if they are around. For example, when the Yonghu Building was attacked by a tide of beasts last time, there were also mostly birds.
Zhen Shuai first asked Ling'er to fly to the crack on the Dong'an Road side, and found that the temperature there was the same as the crack near the library. The fiery red thing below was closer, but unfortunately I still couldn't see clearly what it was.
Some viewers in the live broadcast room speculated: [Anchor, could it be magma? ]
Zhen Shuai's heart moved. In fact, he has also thought about this possibility.
"Xiaosi, can you use the live broadcast system to go down and check it out?"
"Yes, you can, but the temperature down there is too high. Although it will not affect the live broadcast system, it will have an impact on the host." 004 said.
Zhen Shuai asked Shen Xingdu, "Xingdu, can your spiritual consciousness go down?" Shen Xingdu shook his head, "
I tried, and almost got burned."
Zhen Shuai immediately became nervous, held his arm, and looked up and down. "When did you try it? How come I didn't know? Are you okay? Are you really not hurt?"
Shen Xingdu held his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, I will move back when I feel uncomfortable."
Zhen Shuai hummed softly. He said, "Don't take any risks in the future!"
"It's up to you." Shen Xingdu gently pinched his chubby lips.
"Itchy." Zhen Shuai shook his head to avoid it, "Let's go look at other cracks." The only
cracks they had come into contact with so far were the cracks on Dong'an Road and the cracks near the library. There are only these two cracks in Yonghu City.
Other cracks are closest to Yonghu City in neighboring cities.
With the live broadcast system navigation, Zhen Shuai and the others arrived there more than an hour later.
The Spirit Eagle landed calmly.
Not far from the crack, a group of survivors who were digging in the ruins saw two people and a dog jumping off the back of the giant eagle. They backed away in panic and quickly took off the bows and arrows on their backs.
"Sorry, did I scare you?" Zhen Shuai raised a smile and waved at them in a friendly manner.
Seeing that he and another cold man were standing there with no intention of getting closer, the survivors did not attack or run, but looked at them curiously.
One of the mutated men in his early thirties, who was probably their leader, took two steps forward.
"We were scared. We didn't expect anyone to come from the sky. Who are you?" "
We are adventurers in the forest. Are you looking for supplies?" Zhen Shuai is handsome and has a very harmless temperament. That way, when he shows his kindness, it's hard for anyone to resist.
The mutated man's expression softened, "It turns out that this area is a food street. There are many restaurants and snack bars. We are looking for salt here." "It must not be easy to
dig, right?" Zhen Shuai asked.
"Yes, we don't have the tools at hand. It will take a lot of effort to move these reinforced concrete bricks. Moreover, the roots of some trees have grown into them. It is not easy to dig out." Another person said. The survivor sighed, but did not complain too much, as if he had accepted his fate, or was used to it.
Several mutated wolves approached slowly. Zhen Shuai pressed the hilt of the Wuxie Sword, but saw that the survivors just looked at them with expressions unchanged.
The next second, several mutant wolves suddenly turned around and ran away.
Zhen Shuai said "Huh" in surprise.
The leader smiled and took the initiative to explain: "We sprinkled some special powder around. The animals hate the smell. However, the smell dissipates quickly, and it needs to be sprinkled again every ten minutes or so. "
Zhen Shuai was not too surprised. Humans are intelligent creatures after all.
"Aren't you curious about what kind of powder it is?" The leader was surprised. Probably because it was rare to see such a clean and energetic survivor, he was very interested in talking to Zhen Shuai more.
Zhen Shuai said: "Curious. Are you willing to tell us?"
The leader smiled again, and his tone was gentler, "There is nothing unwilling to do. The more people know, the more people will survive. This is how to put this kind of The old man who told us the method said it. This powder is made from the dried and ground flesh of mutated animals and plants after the explosion."
"Thank you, I will remember it, and if I meet other people, I will tell them." Zhen Shuai said.
The leader smiled at him again.
Zhen Shuai felt a little weird, why he kept laughing.
He held Shen Xingdu's hand and played with it while looking at the others.
There are fifteen people in this group, six of whom are mutants, and the other nine are ordinary people. The one thing they have in common is that they are all relatively strong, so they dare to go out together.
When Governor Shen Xing saw that the leader kept looking at Zhen Shuai and smiled, he blocked his sight unhappily.
The leader was stunned for a moment and looked away awkwardly. He didn't mean anything else, it was just that it was rare to see such a "normal" person, so he couldn't help but look at it a few more times, which made him feel less depressed.
"Let's continue. We must find salt before dark, otherwise, the day's efforts will be in vain."
His companions all agreed and continued to dig in the ruins with various tools. Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu looked on, and they were not disgusted.
"I have salt here, I'll give you a pack of it." Zhen Shuai said.
The leader glanced at him and continued working, digging out many broken dishes. He picked out the ones that were still usable and set them aside.
"Hehehe, thank you, but we still have to dig. Salt is in short supply at our base. If you dig more, you can exchange it for other things. Where do you plan to go?"
"We are here to investigate the situation of this crack. You guys, Did you find anything strange about this crack?" Zhen Shuai said and walked towards the crack.
"Hey!" Several people stopped him at the same time.
Zhen Shuai stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
The leader pointed to a big tree next to the crack and said nervously: "Don't get too close to that tree, it will explode."
