Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

Longmen County.

On the side of a national highway.

Some buildings stand.

Not very dense, with some spaced tens of meters apart with only one or two low houses.

Below one of the three-story houses, a minibus and a bus are parked, but both vehicles are quite dilapidated, with rust in many places.

Some parts of the minibus even have small holes, revealing the interior.

The entire national highway is very quiet, and under the sunlight, not a single wandering zombie can be seen.

Just then.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—

A huge roar, approaching from afar, breaks the silence!

It's a helicopter!

Next to the minibus, several people rush out onto the roof of the small building!

They wave their arms excitedly, shouting frantically, seemingly trying to attract the attention of the helicopter in the sky.

More survivors, men and women, are rushing out of the stairwell behind them, jumping and shouting excitedly together.

Disappointingly.

The helicopter in the sky, whether it didn't see them or didn't intend to help.

Didn't slow down and continued to fly in its original direction.

Soon.

It had moved away from the small building and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Leaving a group of survivors on the rooftop with disappointed expressions.

One young woman with messy hair was already crying, squatting on the ground hugging her knees and sobbing.

"A Zhen, don't cry."

"Since others aren't here to save us, then we'll save ourselves. Everyone will be alright."

Another man, about thirty years old, with a dirty and messy appearance and a stubbled face, walked over and patted the woman's shoulder to comfort her.

This person is none other than Brother Li, who the Luyuan Combat Team rescued at the Shenzhen border!

The others are undoubtedly his former companions!

At this time, more people came to comfort A Zhen, who was squatting on the ground crying.

"A Zhen, you still have all of us. We'll be with you and find a safe place to live together!"

Hearing the comfort from her companions, the woman, A Zhen, finally felt a little better. She wiped away her tears and saliva with her dark sleeves. Ignoring her tear-stained face, she stood up again and thanked her companions:

"Thank you, everyone. It's so good to have you! I just couldn't help being disappointed for a moment."

The others didn't blame her.

Because everyone's heart was also full of disappointment.

That day, they were trapped by zombies at the Shenzhen border and rescued by a powerful mysterious convoy, but the people in the convoy didn't intend to take them along.

Helplessly, they had to repair their vehicles and leave as soon as possible.

They continued towards their original destination, Guangyuan City.

Along the way, they encountered many difficulties and dangers again, but fortunately, the degree was not as dangerous as last time, and they all survived without any major incidents.

Brother Li didn't dare to drive into some small roads where it was difficult to turn around; he was traumatized.

Stumbling along the way, it took them most of the day to reach a place in Longmen County, Guangyuan City.

After arriving in Longmen County, it was hard to say whether it was good luck or bad luck, but the battered minibus started to malfunction.

They barely managed to drive it to this national highway before it finally broke down completely on the road.

At that time, it happened to be near this small building, so they worked together to push the minibus to the bottom of the building to park.

Seeing that it was getting late, everyone decided to stay in this small building overnight.

Fortunately, after they broke open the door, there were no people or zombies in the building, which made everyone who had prepared for a fight extremely excited.

They resealed the doors and windows on the first floor and settled down here temporarily.

After inspecting the damaged minibus, Brother Li roughly understood where it was broken.

It couldn't be repaired.

In such a place, although it couldn't be said to be in the middle of nowhere, it was still relatively remote.

Plus, they found some food in the small building, so Brother Li suggested settling down here first, using it as a temporary base. They would go out during the day to find supplies and vehicles, and return here to rest at night.

This suggestion was unanimously approved.

Because the buildings here were sparse and the population should not be large, the number of zombies should not be too high, ensuring a certain degree of safety.

Last night, they hid in the small building and didn't encounter a single zombie bothering them.

This made them excited for a while.

They planned to change cars, but ordinary cars didn't feel safe at all.

Moreover, there were more than a dozen of them, and three or four cars were not enough, because everyone had a lot of luggage with them.

In those days, they settled down in this relatively safe environment.

During these days, they first slowly found a car, then carefully searched around, and finally spent two days finding a bus full of blood stains in a distant place, and drove it back without any complaints.

However, the bus didn't have much fuel, so Brother Li took people out again to collect fuel from abandoned vehicles, and it took another whole day to fill the 400L fuel tank.

The relatively stable days here during this period made them realize the importance of location.

Places with low population density were much friendlier than downtown areas.

Just when they were reluctant and struggling to decide whether to leave this short-term residence, the earthquake came.

The disaster interrupted their hesitation.

After the earthquake, there was a black night with no sun, and then acid rain.

Everything struck them dizzy.

The world was still the same world, but it was not the one they were familiar with.

Fortunately, the acid rain didn't last long, only half a day before it stopped, but that night, they once again experienced the taste of zombie harassment at night.

A dozen zombies gathered from nowhere appeared downstairs again.

Making them think that their safe residence had been overthrown again.

They still had to change places.

They finally managed to hold on until the next day, and the sun still rose as scheduled, but they didn't dare to go out because they weren't sure if the terrifying acid rain would come again.

After the zombies left during the day, Brother Li also took people down to check the vehicles downstairs.

The result was that the original minibus could be said to be completely scrapped.

As for the newly found bus, apart from some corrosion and rust, it was generally okay, and there were no problems after starting and checking it.

That is to say, they still had the means of transportation to leave.

But yesterday they planned to wait another day to confirm whether the acid rain would really not appear again.

The next day was a whole day of sunny weather.

The result relieved them.

They planned to leave after another night.

Then came today.

Just as they woke up and were packing their luggage, they heard the sound of a helicopter in the sky!

They ran to the rooftop as quickly as possible, wanting to attract the attention of the mysterious helicopter and learn more information!

The result was the scene that just happened.

The plane didn't make any stops and flew away.

Disappointed, they could only return downstairs to continue packing their luggage. According to the plan, they still needed to leave today and continue searching for that mysterious place with high walls.

"A Zhen, let's work hard together."

While carrying luggage, a tall and beautiful woman smiled and said to A Zhen, who had just cried.

"Sister Li, thank you, I will work hard together."

After speaking, the two women hugged lightly.

"Li Cai, you guys get on the bus after you finish carrying these. We men will carry the larger items in the back."

Brother Li also walked by carrying two heavy bags of luggage at this time, and said with a smile to the woman who had just spoken.

"No need, Brother Li, I can carry them. Let me help."

Li Cai responded with a smile.

She felt that these were things she could do, so she should do as much as she could. Brother Li and other men often went out and took a lot of risks.

An idea flashed in her mind that maybe she could follow along and help when Brother Li and the others went out in the future.

In the apocalypse, regardless of gender, everyone should learn to take care of themselves.
