When the apocalypse comes, salted fish will only make bubbles
Chapter 217 The worries of the imperial capital
While hundreds of thousands of people were pouring into the Kule Desert, the distant imperial capital was not at peace either.
With the continuous influx of survivors from all over the country, the walls of the imperial capital were built higher and higher, and the new cities on the periphery were expanded.
The area of the original security base of less than 10,000 square kilometers has more than doubled or tripled. Even so, the entire security base is already over saturated.
There are more than three million survivors who have fled to the country alone. The country is overcrowded and resources are scarce. It seems to be an iron-clad wall, but in fact it is also facing a huge crisis.
As the powerful people in the imperial capital, the Pei family is working hard from top to bottom to alleviate this dilemma.
However, in view of the large number of people gathered and the shortage of resources, many efforts have yielded little results, and the imperial capital has inevitably become the target of the zombie siege.
Zombies hurting people happened almost every day, and large and small groups of zombies were constantly intruding. The military had to send a large number of manpower to clean up the zombies wandering outside the city every day.
But recently, for some unknown reason, there have been more and more zombies, and the size of the gathering has gradually become larger.
When Pei Hongge, the head of the Pei family, received a report from the research institute, all these anomalies finally had answers.
After Pei Hongge read the report carefully, he felt extremely heavy. He handed the report to his general's wife, Shen Yuerou, and sighed:
"The zombies have still mutated. As mentioned above, the research institute discovered energy cores in the zombies' brains. This greatly improves their ability to track humans. Once entangled, it is difficult to get rid of them."
Shen Yuerou was not in a hurry to answer. She quickly browsed the documents and stayed on the final judgment report for a long time.
"The combat effectiveness of the zombies has indeed improved. I didn't expect it to be because of this energy core. But fortunately, the rating above is elementary, and it's just the beginning."
Pei Hongge was also thankful for this. Fortunately, he discovered it in time and could give them all a warning.
Especially his wife, who spends all day dealing with zombies, could easily suffer if she is not careful.
Thinking of this, he finally couldn't help but pull his wife, who was dressed in military uniform, onto his lap and sit down.
He put his arms around her waist and said solemnly:
"Yuerou, you must be careful when you are outside every day. Remember, you are General Shen, and the capital cannot do without you. Therefore, you should not go into battle if you can. You must consider the overall situation!"
Shen Yuerou struggled for a while but didn't break away, so she had to let him hold her, while her fingers poked the other person's forehead unceremoniously:
"Hey! Don't try to remind me in different ways. How can I not know what you are thinking? Do you think the capital can't live without me, or someone can't live without me?"
Pei Hongge buried his head directly in her chest and resigned obediently: "Oh, my good general, I can't live without you!"
Seeing this, Shen Yuerou pushed him silently and reminded him in a low voice: "Oh, how old are you and how can you still be so tired? Be careful of others seeing you!"
Pei Hongge stubbornly did not raise his head, cherishing this rare moment of tenderness, and said in a muffled voice:
"Don't be afraid. No one except that kid dares to come in without knocking. Yuerou, I'm really worried about you being out every day. If you come back rarely, please stay with me for a while!"
"You, the older you get, the more squeamish you become!"
The couple had always had a good relationship. One was a business tycoon and the other was a talented general in the military. They joined forces to help the Pei family reach the top of the imperial capital.
It's just that the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. The stability finally gained after the apocalypse did not last long.
As countless cities across the country fell one after another, the imperial capital, which had the highest safety factor, was also under increasing pressure.
The influx of refugees brought wave after wave of zombies, and the imperial capital relied on its strong military strength to avert danger time and time again.
However, over time, no matter how good the defense is, loopholes and weaknesses will appear. After a long battle, the body and mind will be exhausted, and the combat effectiveness will be severely reduced.
The situation is becoming more and more serious, and this report of the institute will undoubtedly push them to the cusp of an even more intense storm.
Zombies are becoming more and more difficult to deal with, but human beings have less and less vitality. If they are allowed to continue to evolve, how long can the Imperial City sustain it, and to what extent will human beings be destroyed? !
After embracing each other for a moment, Shen Yuerou broke the silence with a sigh:
"There has been no news from my son for a few days, and I don't know how they are doing now? Have you noticed anything unusual about the zombies?"
When Pei Hongge heard this, he raised his head and teased her with a smile: "When Laoqu asked Chonglin to pick up Linqing by name, you agreed without any hesitation. I thought you weren't worried about him. Why, you have softened your heart after all. ?!”
"Can it be the same?"
Shen Yuerou stood up from his lap and resumed her general style.
"The Qu family has made it clear that they want to use the children as bargaining chips for cooperation. If I hesitate at all, they will have resentment in their hearts. And you have also seen that even if I don't agree, your son won't go? I think He is more positive than anyone else!"
Pei Hongge just said it casually. Seeing that his arms were empty, he sighed helplessly and continued what she said:
"Ha! Chonglin and Linqing have been close friends since childhood. You can't let him just sit back and watch. Besides, he has learned a lot in recent years and knows how to do things that are beneficial to the family."
At this moment, the situation was not so dangerous and unpredictable at that time. They agreed to let their son take over the important task. One reason was because of his own persistence, and the other reason was that they wanted to give him a chance to exercise.
After all, their son is the only heir to the Pei family. If the business cannot continue after the apocalypse, he must have the courage and ability to face the cruel apocalypse on his own.
Shen Yuerou herself is brave and militant, so she naturally doesn't want her son to just sit back and enjoy the benefits.
A man is an eagle, so he should go out and have a good experience. However, as time passed, the situation changed, which made her somewhat regretful.
"Anyway, I, as a mother, feel guilty for letting him take the risk to leave. I just hope he can come back safely and I will make up for him properly."
Pei Hongge understood the lady's thoughts very well. He just held the other party's hand in his palm and patted it gently:
"Just relax! The brat is very capable and nothing will happen to him. Didn't I tell you all the previous news? He has led the team well. When he comes back, it will be a great achievement. He will only thank you. !”
These words really amused Shen Yuerou, and she smiled helplessly: "You are the only one who can say it! Okay, I have to go, you go ahead and do your work!"
"You're leaving so soon, why don't you stay and have dinner with me?" Pei Hongge said with a look of reluctance.
Shen Yuerou shook her head again and again: "No, I have to go back and arrange the cleaning task. Before my son comes back, we have to clean up the door of our house! Let's go! Eat well!"
After watching Shen Yuerou leave, Pei Hongge's expression became solemn again. There were not only so many zombies in front of the imperial capital's house, but also places with people would inevitably be targeted by them.
Can’t kill them all! I can’t kill them all!
Is there any way to make zombies disappear and never come back again?
