The end of the world starts from the zombies

Chapter 179 Base No. [-]
Then he ate the animal meat.

After a while, he entered the space in a daze.

A white mist filled the air, and a white screen was in front of him.

"I haven't completed any of the system's tasks yet." Looking at the options displayed on the screen, Liu Qing felt a little annoyed.

"Fire-type shapeshifters and water-type shapeshifters, now that the power is out and there is no air-conditioning, I can't even refine zombie meat."

Thinking of this, he began to wonder where he could find these animals. He looked through the "Zombie Illustrated Book" and found that the fire-type animals on it were all cats and canines.

Due to time constraints, the growth of animals is still very slow. At least except for elephants and rhinoceros, which are shape-shifters of water and soil, Liu Qing has not seen other shape-shifters.

His thoughts changed and he thought of various marine animals in the deep sea, including whales and sharks.

Thinking about it, these animals are more than one grade better than elephants and rhinos, but this has nothing to do with him.

As time passed, he exited the space, and when he woke up, it was already the second day.

Then, he took his anesthesia gun, automatic rifle, and various supplies, and drove away from Lingxi Town.

Before reaching Lake City, Liu Qing had to turn left and right, and then passed a large lake.

Driving all the way, he bypassed countless zombies, passed dozens of car ruins, and finally came to Haicang East Lake through the national highway.

He got out of the car and started watching the animals in the lake.

After using 'Qingji Tong', he found that he could see some small animals inside through the turbid water surface.

A deep blue lake with mostly first- to second-level animals, such as squids, octopuses, etc., which are relatively rare second-level animals.

But these are not my goals.

After adding some information to the Zombie Illustrated Book, he drove on.

Finally, at [-]:[-] pm on the [-]th, they found this temporary base.

Beside the five-meter city wall made of reinforced concrete, there is only a small exit. In addition, there are those cannons full of texture at the gate.

Liu Qing was frightened by such a large formation.

On the other hand, he also understood that the threat of these zombies was more serious than imagined.

After taking out Zhang Zexin's pass, he successfully entered the base.

The houses in the base are all very simple, made of wooden boards or even thatch, which indicates that they are temporary construction sites.

From relevant managers, Liu Qing learned that this base is planned to accommodate more than 57 people and is one of the [-] temporarily established strongholds in the province.

Of course, the population itself is actually just an imaginary number. From the perspective of Haicheng alone, among the [-] people who survived in the entire Fuzhou Province, three should be similar to what he knew.

With a population of 30 billion in Huaguo and a total population of 9000 million in Fuzhou, the number of people who can survive is at most 500 million.

But this idea was quickly broken, because Liu Qing learned from the managers that the government had organized a rescue operation half a month ago and had prepared enough supplies to carry out operations in two densely populated points in the west and north of Fujian Province. , implemented a 'sky patching' plan and successfully executed it.

This operation successfully predicted the intentions of the organization behind it, destroyed 78 of their strongholds, and saved more than 200 million people in disguise.

"This is good news." Hearing this, Liu Qing couldn't help showing a knowing smile. On the one hand, she was very happy.

For a month, his head was almost occupied by those rotting faces, indifferent to death and having a very contradictory aversion.

So it is a very happy thing that so many of the same kind have survived.

After learning about the measures in the base and the distribution of daily necessities, he found Wu Yue and Yin Guoping among the survivors.

A day passed, and the two were already familiar with the situation in the base.

The allocated place to live is very narrow, also because Wu Yue and Yin Guoping insisted on living together.

Therefore, including Liu Qing, the three of them were allocated a luxurious room of twelve square meters in total.

Just put down three single beds, and a small stool.

"Have you found your mother?" Thinking of Wu Yue's mother's condition, Liu Qing knew that she had just gone to the survivor base, so she asked.

"No." Wu Yue shook his head in frustration, "The base my mother went to is another point, near the critical point to the north, and it's almost a few hundred kilometers away from here."

"Just know she's safe," Liu Qing comforted him.

You know, in this crisis of the end times, how many families have no one person, and there are many people who have only one person. Not to mention Wu Yue knows that his mother is alive, and Yin Guoping is far away from his only son. Thousands of kilometers away.

Due to limited energy, many of the places where people live in the base were built by survivors using local materials. Under the rough sketches provided by the government, they only had half a month to build the places.

In addition, in terms of food, a piece of rice and sweet potatoes were planted in the base to supplement nutrition.

From October 12 to No. [-], during the two days, Liu Qing gradually learned about the general situation in Fuzhou.

On the night of September [-]th, zombies broke out in eight strongholds across the province. In one day, the death toll directly exceeded one-third of the total number of people.

Overnight, tens of millions of people turned into zombies, and the transportation and management facilities were completely paralyzed. Even some important officials such as the mayor who went out were directly eroded by the virus.

What's more, from the power outage to the destruction by force, a large area of ​​the signal base stations in the province was paralyzed. Afterwards, it was estimated that the news of the communication was delayed by at least four hours.

This makes the already suffering human beings even worse.

From the [-]th to the [-]th, the central government of China dealt with the situation urgently. The commander-in-chief and chief of staff of the army set the direction, and experts from other places supplemented it and customized a plan tailored to local conditions.

From September 20th to NO.[-], on the one hand, the city made a comprehensive announcement by radio, temporarily adjusted the team, and accepted citizens and consolidated the central store. The army began to set out from the base, flying planes and tanks to prepare for support.

But an abnormal situation suddenly occurred, and large swaths of zombies began to appear regularly. They formed at least hundreds of them, began to move towards areas with a strong human presence, and attacked the city's defense lines like crazy.

Afterwards, the army's news received temporary notifications. These notifications were mixed with false news from people with malicious intentions. There were also some forward soldiers who arrived at the destination to support them, but they seemed to be caught in a urn and fell into a pre-set siege.

It was a relatively chained front, but it collapsed in an instant, so it was repaired after a dead sheep. For general considerations, the high-level can only choose to withdraw part of the support to the city, and preserve the provincial hub as the communication and main base, which is Fucheng.

Therefore, this is also the reason why the radio listening to the news was not true.

In the end, after the general situation stabilized and the supplies were sufficient, the high-level officials could spare no effort to set up a temporary base and carry out search operations.

The names of the bases are all based on numbers, and the place where I and Yin Guoping are located is called Base No. [-].

In terms of food, there is still a temporary reserve in the base, but it is only enough for 5 people in the base to eat for two months.

During this period, the people inside must make plans for themselves. The food grown must produce certain results, and must be purchased from outside.

Everyone's labor is inevitable, and the materials provided can be promoted to the position, so as to facilitate the management of the expanded base later.

Every day, the base will be led by a hundred soldiers, plus three hundred survivors, to hunt animals on the nearby mountains, and go to areas with fewer zombies to collect the remaining supplies.

Since the establishment of the temporary base seven days ago, various measures have gradually been perfected.

In two days, Liu Qing got used to this place, and heard about Xie Zhiqiang and Chen Chujia.

They each joined the ranks of survivors and participated in growing food and mining timber, and building houses.

As for going out to hunt for food, it is a dangerous task and can be deducted

In Liu Qing's view, they had reformed and started living an honest life.

Of course, Liu Qing also joined the team, planting, building houses, logging, and transporting materials. He did all these things.

On the one hand, the base is still constantly armed, and the main combatants always maintain this ratio of half, and the remaining personnel can be counted as temporary substitutes.

Because Liu Qing also heard from other people that four days ago, the satellite detected that the flow of zombies began to unite consciously and on a large scale from the province.

On the third day after the completion of the No. [-] base, it attracted nearly two hundred zombies to besiege it.

Fortunately, the leader of the base, Lu Chongtian, actively defended himself. Under the fierce attack of guns, he paid the lives of five frontline personnel before killing them all.

Liu Qing and Yin Guoping were relatively hard-working. Because Wu Yue was still young, the activities she participated in were tailoring clothes and receiving returning teams.

The three of them started living at the base like this.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, the middle of October passed, and it was October 24th in the Chinese calendar, which was half a month after the three of them entered the base.

On this day, Liu Qing had accumulated enough work points, passed the team's physical fitness test, and joined the hunting team.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Panyi Mountain, the weather was fine.

"Hey! Liu Qing, Hu Pengqi, you have great strength, come and move this wild boar." The dark-faced middle-aged man named Zhang Bing stood at the front of the line and turned around to shout.

The scene turned, and across from the dark-faced middle-aged man, there was a black-skinned wild boar with tusks lying there. Judging from the thick black hair alone, this wild boar was a rare animal that had not turned into a zombie, but in the past Judging from its plump body, it weighs at least three hundred kilograms.

"Okay!" After responding, Liu Qing, whose muscles showed strong strength, walked over with an equally strong young man named Hu Pengqi.

Liu Qing grabbed the head, Hu Pengqi grabbed the tail, and the two began to lift the limbs of the wild boar.

Along the way, the wild boar's trunk was lifted very steadily by them. Of course, the main credit for this was Liu Qing's sufficient strength.

Looking back, Zhang Bing was very satisfied with the performance of the two men. In his opinion, the two men had good physical fitness and reliable work. They joined the team for a week and provided quite a lot for the catering department. food.

Especially the young man named Liu Qing, whose degree of power control is rare in his life. You must know that Zhang Bing was able to work as a coach in the martial arts gym for seven years before the outbreak of the apocalypse.

Therefore, there is definitely some gold in his gaze.

"The special forces have begun to recruit personnel. It just so happens that the two people in my team are of the same age and strength. How about just the two of them." After thinking a few words in his heart, Zhang Bing settled down.

As the captain of the two main hunting groups, Squadron 35 and Squad 15, his team manages a total of NO. [-] people. These people are all elite members of the base, and their physical fitness ranks among the best in the base. And it has unlimited potential, and can be transformed into combat troops and generals with tens of thousands of troops at any time.

As the captain, he has the obligation to train these people.

None of the animals on Panyi Mountain have mutated.

Because areas with and without animals were locked and excluded, this hunting operation was very efficient. In addition to a wild boar, they also harvested an elk, a dozen hares, a dozen bamboo rats and some mountain animals. Chicken and civet.

There are not many large animals, but this time the harvest is already good.

After walking seven or eight kilometers and returning to the base, after unloading the [-]-jin wild boar, some young girls came up with tea to greet Zhang Bing and others.

Among the little girl's reception team was Wu Yue. Unknowingly, she had already passed her 12th birthday in half a month.

In other words, she is already 12 years old.

"Brother Qing! You play so many things!" Wu Yue said with a happy expression, looking at all kinds of animals piled up all over the place.

"Yes." Liu Qing was dripping with sweat, "The environment in Panyi is very good, basically no one has been there, so there are many animals."

"Then which of these animals are bred and which are eaten?" Wu Yue looked at the animals that were still alive and asked curiously.

"The one that dies is the male, and the one that lives is the female," Liu Qing said with a smile.

Not only Base No. [-], but every base with humans has allocated a lot of breeding chickens, ducks, pigs and geese, but other than that, it is good to have more and more female animals, so if the hunting team encounters Female animals cannot be killed according to the rules.

Not to mention that animals of the same species and different genders will have different centimeters.

Calculated according to the amount of meat, every catty of edible meat is [-] centimeters. So far, Liu Qing has accumulated [-] centimeters unilaterally plus the share of cooperative hunting.

This is enough to rank in the top [-] in the base, and it is also one of the best in his own hunting team.

As for the personnel with higher scores in front, either they have been hunting longer than him and have traveled back and forth from various bases, or they have made a lot of contributions in fighting losses.

After all, in the case of food shortage, zombies that have died but are still fresh can be eaten after being roasted by fire, although most people will not eat them if they have a choice.

"How's Uncle Ping doing?" Because of going hunting every day, Liu Qing was assigned to a single room near the base. A week ago, Liu Qing didn't see much of Yin Guoping.

Wu Yue went back and forth between the two sides, so he became the bridge of communication between Liu Qing and Yin Guoping, "Grandpa Ping also passed the hunting qualification, but it seems that because of his age, the upper management transferred him to the second backup team. The main job is to carry things."

"Tired? You should let him eat well. At 50 years old, your body is your capital," Liu Qing said slowly.

The two were chatting like this, and suddenly a person walked by.

Liu Qing looked up and found that it was her captain, Zhang Bing.

"What's the matter? Boss", following the call in the team, Liu Qing also got used to calling him the title of captain.

"Come here, I have something urgent to tell you." When he walked to Liu Qing, Zhang Bing patted him on the shoulder, and then walked out the door.

"I'll go out for a while, Yueyue, you go do your work first."

Seeing this, Liu Qing had no choice but to put down the teacup in hand, and followed him out.

When he was about ten meters away from the gate, he saw Zhang Bing standing with another strange man. They talked to each other, and then looked at him in unison.

Seeing this, he had a faint premonition.

He walked over and asked, "What's the matter? Captain."

"Come here," Zhang Bing waved his hand and hugged Liu Qing's shoulders, "This is Wu Jian'an, the captain of the Seventh Squadron, and also the immediate boss of your immediate boss."

Speaking of this, he smiled: "Team An, this person's physical fitness is indeed very good. It can be said that he is born with a strong physique. He can't be more suitable for the requirements of his superiors."

Wu Jian'an nodded: "It looks really good, but I have no experience in the army, and I may have less professional experience."

"Low experience can be cultivated, but natural physical fitness cannot be changed." As he said that, Zhang Bing looked at Liu Qing, "Have you heard of the research on skill improvement? This time the above clinical trial has passed, and the recruitment of the first A group of special forces."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and you have to make good use of it."

Hearing these words, Liu Qing realized the purpose of the two.

Even though he didn't know much about the base, he quickly agreed and said, "Yes, I know a little bit about it. If there is anything that needs me to do, I will do my best."

"Do you have any short-term goals now, or where is your family?" Wu Jian'an nodded and asked.

Facing Wu Jian'an's inquiry, Liu Qing told him that he was an orphan and even some basic information.

In the end, the two sides agreed to meet next week, and then a group of recommended players would be called to conduct an ability test.

To determine competency eligibility and develop direction for special physical fitness modifications.

The day of October 25th in the Chinese calendar seemed ordinary and extraordinary to him. What was ordinary was that he still had three meals a day and would go out to the base in the afternoon with the purpose of hunting.

The extraordinary point lies in the temporary recommendation of his own captain.

The night was drawing to a close, and the air was a little dry and hot.

In Team 35, the hunting at night was still full of rewards.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening, so he found some beer and drank a few glasses with the people in the team.

Because of communicating with the management of the reception team, Wu Yue who was on the side could stand beside him and talk to him from time to time.

"Brother Qing, why did you go out at noon?" After returning to the team to pay the game and some zombies, Wu Yue asked him.

"There's something wrong with the squadron."

"By the way," Liu Qing took a sip of wine and felt its astringent taste on the tip of his tongue, "Yueyue, I was informed today that I have to interview a special team member. In other words, I may not have to go hunting for a while."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wu Yue calmly.

"Special Forces? Specifically, something like special forces?"

Liu Qing nodded, "Yes, it should be a modified substance like a virus, but it just won't be infected with a virus."

"Oh," Wu Yue responded, not knowing whether to be happy or sad for Liu Qing.

For her, those transformations were unheard of, and special was just a neutral word.

"Then I'll tell Grandpa Ping later, maybe you won't have to go out to bask in the sun every day." Speaking of this, Wu Yue smiled.

Liu Qing also nodded: "Speaking of which, Uncle Ping is not young after all. If you do some heavy work every day, it will not be able to bear the body. Anyway, I have a lot of work points and I won't be able to use it for the time being."

Speaking of this, he paused: "Your words are good to exercise here. Tomorrow, I will go to the HR team to explain and let Uncle Ping manage it better."

For Liu Qing, Yin Guoping has saved her life, and this kindness is difficult to repay, even if she uses up all her work points.

The matter ended here, from the conversation with Wu Yue until the tavern closed at nine o'clock in the evening.

He walked all the way in front of the catering department, returned to the single room dormitory, and was about to fall into a deep sleep.

Before going to sleep, he looked up at the rare white ceiling in the base and reviewed the experience in his mind.

After half a month, my mission still didn't make any progress, but I entered the space again.

In a disguised form, the energy in his body has increased by one-fifth, and at the same time, the reserve of zombie flesh is about to be exhausted.

"As for the fire-type shapeshifters, Peng Qi seems to have said that Xitou Mountain encountered a leopard king. It was very powerful and could dodge bullets. I don't know if it's true or not."

The words in my mind are constantly playing back: "Let me tell you, the people in the No.20 team are so unlucky that their mother doesn't even know each other. The ten-member team that was prepared temporarily went to explore the big mountain on the other side of Xitou. When I went in, I encountered a blackened leopard, and the whole team only went in for half a minute, and only two people ran out."

Regarding these words, Liu Qing was silent. If what Hu Pengqi said was true, then this leopard king must be a zombie animal in the shapeshifter stage.

Because in his understanding, even the top four animals would not have this reaction speed.

As for water-based animals, currently I have to either go to the bottom of the sea or look for animals that have something to do with water, such as elephants and rhinos.

Thinking about it, he fell asleep.

In the half month since entering Base [-], I have successfully become one of them.
