Lu Huaishan and his team parked the car at the edge of the base, observing the construction of the base. He looked at the eerie forest and the temporary base that was only about 100 meters away from it, and frowned slightly.

I didn’t expect the base to be so close to the research institute.

What did Sui Yi and the others do when they came to the capital that made them prefer to be closer to the more ferocious mutant creatures rather than get close to the capital.

Although we don’t know why these mutant creatures are unwilling to come out, what if?

In their eyes, these two defensive walls are vulnerable, and the people in this base will be like delicious food delivered to their mouths.

Thinking of this, Lu Huaishan was stunned for a moment.

Because of Su Qian'an, Sui Yi and the others have always been very docile, and would occasionally do things that made people laugh and cry. He just subconsciously felt that they were safer than other zombies.

never mind…

When they leave, Sui Yi and the others will definitely follow Su Qian'an. At that time, they can let Song Ci attach itself to the cat to remind them.

Now their situation is a bit troublesome.

Lu Huaishan looked at the countless soldiers holding guns on the protective wall. The part close to the forest was constantly observing the situation in the forest. In addition, there were five high-power LED lights on it, which could illuminate the surroundings as if it were daytime in the dark night.

This made it difficult for them to sneak people out.

Their abnormalities also meant that they could not cooperate with the army.

Tsk.

There are two iron doors at the bottom of the wall, one exit and one entrance. There are several soldiers guarding the entrance with guns, and several people holding scanners. There is a plastic shed next to it, and a long line of people is lined up outside the shed.

When Lu Huaishan saw the plastic shed, his first reaction was that it was used to check for infected people, but then he thought something was wrong.

The infection rate is now very fast, and as the zombies evolve, the viruses in their bodies are also changing.

The original half-hour incubation period turned into a few minutes, and these few minutes were not enough for them to reach the base.

There seemed to be something near the base, and both waves of zombies were unwilling to come over.

In this case, the probability of an infected person appearing at the base is lower than winning the lottery.

Unless someone wanted revenge on society and deliberately brought zombies' blood to the base.

Lu Huaishan turned to look at Song Ci, "Was it like this outside when you came here before?"

Song Ci shook his head and said, “No, there was no plastic shed outside when I came the day before yesterday.”

Previously, the base’s detection of infected people was simple and crude. Those who wanted to enter the base were divided into batches, and only those who did not show any signs after one day would be allowed to enter the base.

Before entering the base, a microchip will be implanted in the arm to confirm identity. Once the chip is removed from the body, it will lose its use, which largely prevents someone from snatching passes and sneaking into the base.

Lu Huaishan nodded, let go of Su Qian'an's hand, and pointed to the base.

"Baby, I have something to do over there, so please wait for me in the car."

"Ah."

After saying that, he patted the passenger seat lightly, then got out of the car with Xiao Sui and walked towards the plastic shed.

When passing by the tents outside, I found that most of the people living outside were women and children with little strength, as well as the elderly. They were all very thin and their eyes were numb.

It is empty like a barren desert, with no sign of life.

Ambiguous sounds could be heard from many tents, some didn't even have their curtains drawn, and everyone else seemed to be used to it.

From the conversations of other people nearby, it was not difficult to guess that these people were excluded from the base because they had no labor force.

The base does not have enough supplies to feed so many people, and everyone needs to exchange labor for food.

However, these people are weak, so even if they use their labor to exchange for food, it will be taken away by others.

It doesn't mean you are safe once you are inside the base. Even in peacetime, the police cannot guarantee everyone's safety, let alone now.

The base is crowded with people, and some people are even treated as food in dark places where the army cannot see them.

These people live outside, and are actually much safer under the military's watchful eyes.

Lu Huaishan and the others looked at each other in silence, then looked away and continued walking forward.

When we got closer to the plastic shed, we found that they were drawing blood. After the blood was drawn, someone would give them an injection in their hands. Only after completing the process would they be allowed to enter the base.

Su Qian'an couldn't enter the base just because of the blood draw. And as for the injection afterwards, the loudspeaker said it was just a pass to confirm identity, but his intuition told him that it was not a good thing.

Li Yang and the others didn't know where they were taken.

This route into the base is no longer accessible.

Just as they were about to return to the car to discuss the matter, two fully equipped armored vehicles heading towards the forest caught their attention.

"Ahem, why are there still people going there to die? No matter how much the official reward is, you have to be alive to get it."

Lu Huaishan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a burly, dishevelled, ragged man sitting in front of a tent. He had a messy beard on his face, cloudy eyes, and from time to time he let out a few violent coughs from between his cracked lips.

Looking down, I saw two empty trouser legs.

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen disabled people?"

Lu Huaishan and Xiao Sui looked at each other, walked towards the man, and squatted down to be at eye level with him.

"Sorry, we didn't mean it." He took out a piece of bread from his pocket, blocked the others' view with his body, and handed it to him. There was a hint of greed in his eyes and his tone was excited.

"We are new here. May I ask what the official reward you just mentioned is?"

The man looked up at them, sneered, took the bread without any hesitation, and swallowed it in two or three gulps.

"Ahem, what else could it be? Food and shelter. I heard that it used to be a research institute, and there are many researchers who survived. Some people also said that there is a zombie vaccine inside. There are all kinds of rumors."

"Now that the army is empty, we can only rely on the superpowers in the base to explore the way. They are tempted by the supplies and think that they are the protagonists because they have awakened their superpowers. If others die in there, it's because of them. They will definitely be able to save people if they go."

"Oh, don't you see what they are like? You are so clean, I think you must have some ability. I advise you not to be blinded by the short-term interests, otherwise you will become like me."

The man touched his empty trousers as he spoke, exuding a decadent aura.

Lu Huaishan looked at his legs and understood, then gave him another candy and asked in a skeptical tone.

"Is this true? Tell us what kind of monsters are there? Are they scarier than the zombies that appeared in the city center before? So many psychics couldn't help but go there."

Bread and sugar were both very scarce things in the apocalypse. The man also realized that the two people in front of him might really have some stuff. He looked at their pockets and the meaning was very clear.

If you want to know, give me something else.

If you don’t grab some now, when will you grab it!

Lu Huaishan and the others felt that more and more eyes were focused on them, so they openly turned out the entire bag, looked at the man, and warned him with a cold tone.

"Brother, you know what the city center is like. We really don't have any left. These are things we have kept for a long time and have not been willing to eat. If you don't know, just give them back to us and we will ask others."

The man quickly peeled the candy and put it in his mouth. Feeling the long-lost sweetness in his mouth, his eyes couldn't help but become moist. He didn't know whether it was the sweetness that made him feel guilty or he didn't want to cause trouble, so he spoke honestly.

"There's nothing in there, just zombies and mutants. They're just as scary as the zombies in the city center. But if you really want to go in, be careful of the plants in there. They can eat people, too. And..."

The man raised his hand and pointed at the forest. "It's a little far away now. If you get closer, you can see two red lines on the ground. It's dangerous inside, but as long as you move quickly and run outside the outer red lines, those monsters can't hurt you."

"Remember, it's the one outside. The one near the forest is drawn by the zombies inside. They are very smart. They will come out and drag people back to eat when they think they are safe and let their guard down."

When Lu Huaishan and the others heard that zombies would set traps, they didn't feel anything. After all, the ones at home had already started trying to cook, although it was a mess.

However, it would be easy if someone went in, because at least they wouldn't attract other people's attention when they went.

After Lu Huaishan and the others thanked him, they walked towards the edge of the forest.

"Hey, you really went there, so brave? Did you run into some important person? The two of them only had knives and didn't even drive a car."

His voice was so soft that Lu Huaishan and the others didn't hear it, and even if they did, they wouldn't care.

When we reached the edge of the forest, we saw the two red lines that the man had mentioned. We could hear screams and intensive gunfire coming from inside. They should be the group of people who had just entered.

They circled around, using the trees to block their view. The soldiers on the protective wall could only know that there were people there, but had no idea what they were doing.

Lu Huaishan looked up and made eye contact with a zombie on the tree. He was even uglier than Sui Yi and the others, although he didn't have bumps all over his body.

But his whole body seemed to be covered with some liquid, with only a pair of scarlet eyes showing, and the dark liquid flowed down his skin.

Those scarlet eyes stared at him intently, as if they saw delicious food, drooling at him and making a roaring sound in their throat.

"Ho ho-"

Being looked at like this, Lu Huaishan actually felt that this zombie was normal.

Lu Huaishan stood at the edge of the red line, looked at him, patted Xiao Sui's shoulder, and walked inside.

As soon as he crossed the second red line, the zombies above seemed to be unable to wait any longer and sprayed a black liquid towards Lu Huaishan.

Lu Huaishan dodged sideways and turned his head to find that what he vomited was like a spider web, sticking to the ground, emitting a foul odor that even a mask could not cover, and it was also somewhat corrosive.

"Brother Lu, be careful!"

Lu Huaishan looked up and saw a huge black net rushing towards him.
