Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Back at the Green Source Base.

Having weathered the disaster, it had returned to its high-speed rhythm.

The evening of the day after the acid rain.

The combat team members didn't go out to search for supplies today, but stayed around the base to test and confirm the suspected zombie mutations that appeared during the acid rain.

The process wasn't complicated.

They only needed to attract zombies, use a special large net on the wall to directly cover the target, kill the unnecessary zombies, and then drag the target to the isolation zone.

Pull out all their teeth, put on special muzzles, chop off all their fingers (leaving their arms swinging to maintain normal running speed), seal all wounds with tape to prevent bodily fluids from splashing onto humans.

Tie a rope around their waist, leaving a certain length, fix the other end, and delineate their activity area.

Then they could conduct experiments and tests.

As long as they were careful, they would basically not be injured.

After most of the day of testing and exploration, they had roughly assessed the latest changes in the zombies.

They found that the strength of these captured zombies was 20-40% stronger than before.

In terms of agility, that is, movement speed, it was also generally 10-30% faster than before.

If the speed of zombies chasing humans with all their might was equivalent to a jog in the past, then now it was almost a medium run!

If humans were chased by such zombies, they might be able to shake them off at first, but they would inevitably be caught up in the long run!

Because humans cannot maintain a fast run for a long time, but zombies can!

Also, their response to smell and sound was more sensitive, their vision remained unchanged, and their aversion to light remained unchanged.

Obviously.

The danger of going out had increased.

The details of future combat operations must be adjusted.

Originally, one person might be able to deal with 2-3 zombies, but now they can only cope with 1-2, and the previous model can no longer be applied.

This was only the data from the zombies captured outside the base, and the sampling range could only be considered limited to Mentang Town, and the situation of zombies in more distant places remained to be confirmed.

And don't forget that zombies are stronger at night, so they have to be tested again at night.

Although they rarely go out at night, they also need to understand these specific data.

At this point, the combat team had obtained the desired conclusion.

After the captains reported these to the boss, Qin Jin compared it with the zombie strength in his previous life and it was almost the same.

The zombie strength outside was basically this standard.

At night, Qin Jin followed the combat team members to the conference room on the second floor to conduct a new round of tactical deployment, the overall change was not large, but some details were adjusted.

"Everyone will still go out in teams to search for supplies tomorrow, which can also be regarded as familiarizing yourself with the new outside world."

"At the same time, start paying attention to the survivors outside, and if you encounter suitable ones, you can bring them back to the base first, and we will evaluate whether they can be absorbed. The squad leaders will go to my office later to get the information, which will contain reference standards."

He said to all the team members, which was also a temporary decision on their short-term action direction.

Leaving the conference room and returning to his office.

He immediately found Xia Yan and the Sun brothers.

He handed them the target for departure tomorrow and instructed:

"Tomorrow, you will take two helicopters out, you can allocate the two destinations yourself, remember to record the road conditions along the way, if you can scout at the location, scout, if not, quickly find a way to withdraw!"

Several people saw the address on their hands and the precautions behind them, and couldn't help but stare at President Qin!

Hiss—

President Qin has set his sights on these places!

Several people dared not say more, hiding their thoughts in their stomachs.

After expressing their understanding, they left the office, they had to do some preparations.

After Qin Jin watched a few people leave, he returned to his boss's chair and sat down.

He lit a cigarette and slowly smoked it.

After the earthquake and acid rain, it was equivalent to adding a layer of negative status to the global survivors, but adding a layer of positive buff to the zombies.

Between one addition and one subtraction, the difficulty of the apocalypse began to show.

Don't think about finding supplies and food so easily in the future.

This nearly one-month golden adaptation period after the mutation has passed, and the new difficulty mode has just started.

The real challenge has just begun.

As for putting the target on the military region now.

Of course, the strength was not enough and the timing was not right before.

The previous combat team was completely incomparable with the current experienced one, and there were no helicopters to scout in advance.

Bringing the team over at the beginning of the apocalypse, not to mention that the weapons were not ready and used skillfully, just the long-distance raid of hundreds of kilometers might lose a lot of manpower, not to mention the possible resistance at the target location.

Only now can I slightly move those thoughts.

I will give the new list to the captains of the combat team later, and let them start to familiarize themselves with the outside world tomorrow.

When the reconnaissance results come out, he will lead the team again to obtain more powerful strength!

Smoking a cigarette.

His eyes stared at the starry sky outside the window.

His eyes flickered slightly.

————————————

The next day.

The morning sun shone early.

Another good day.

Since the rain two days ago, there have been two consecutive days of sunny weather.

The warm sunshine dispelled the cold of some base personnel who got up early.

Qin Jin watched the combat teams drive off.

Then he came to the place where the helicopters were parked.

Yesterday afternoon, the two helicopters that needed to depart had been maintained in advance, filled with fuel, and brought spare fuel, and parked at the base's lift point.

At this time, Qin Jin had just arrived and saw a small group of people standing and talking below.

It was Xia Yan, the Sun brothers, and a few other people.

As soon as he walked over, the people in the discussion saw him, so they all hurriedly greeted the boss.

"Are these the people who are going to learn to fly helicopters?"

Qin Jin stood with his hands behind his back and asked the people faintly.

When he walked over just now, he saw that those people were basically familiar faces, either from the combat team or from the base defense team.

This time, Sun Xiaolong stood up to answer.

"Yes, we have discussed with the combat captains, defense captains, and Old President Qin, and each team has drawn a member to learn. Xiaolong and Xiaohu's original team just happened to not need it, so basically each team will have someone who can drive in the future, we all think this is more appropriate."

Oh.

Qin Jin was overjoyed when he heard this. These people did a good job. They would use their brains to handle things well.

This is a good subordinate.

He nodded in satisfaction and praised them a few words.

"You guys continue to be busy, get ready and set off, you must come back today."

Seeing that the time was almost up, Qin Jin didn't want to disturb their departure time, so he took the initiative to leave the chat and let them set off early.

Several people responded.

Before long.

Two prepared medium-sized helicopters started, the propellers rotated, and after the speed reached the critical point, they slowly lifted off, determined the direction and flew away.

Qin Jin watched this scene silently in the distance.

I hope this reconnaissance can bring back good news.

————————————

Mentang Town.

A small residential area about four or five kilometers away from the Green Source Base.

One of the four-story buildings.

Here on the third floor, there are actually more than a dozen survivors gathered!

Some of them were sitting on chairs, some were leaning by the window, and some were standing at the door, silently seeming to be waiting for something.

On the faces of some of them, and the exposed palms, you could vaguely see fresh scars, presumably the sequelae left by yesterday's acid rain.

Just as these people were silent.

The people standing at the door suddenly heard rapid footsteps coming from the stairs!

Before long, a man in his twenties, wrapped tightly, wearing a knitted hat on his head, ran in.

I saw that his face was excited, his face was flushed, and his mouth was still panting heavily, I don't know if it was caused by running or something else.

Everyone in the room focused their attention on him.

One of them, who had been leaning by the window, with narrow eyes, combed back, and dressed in the cleanest and most decent clothes here, greeted him. His tone was calm and urgent, and he asked the man who had just come in:

"How is it? Little Li, did you find the place where those people live this time?"

The man who had just returned seemed to have finally caught his breath. Seeing the middle-aged man asking him, he still said loudly with an excited expression:

"Director! I found it!! I finally found the location where those people live!"

"It's so big there! Super amazing!"

"And there are such high walls!!"
