Chapter I: Base 1

On December 25, 2024, at 7:02 a.m., a group of escort teams consisting of three military green pickup trucks and a white RV set off from the camp of the advance team and set off for the original military base.

The survivors who had drunk a little gruel were curled up in thin blankets, with a lot of supplies brought in S City beside them, most of them were packed into their backpacks, and a small part was left out, and several women organized the still hungry children to eat in their suits, and by the way, some boxes of milk were warmed and distributed to the young warriors standing in the cold wind.

I have to say that the soldiers who came out of the coastal base all have a good plain condition, even if the snow flakes are pierced in the face like knives, even if the stomach is empty and the mouth is dry, they also firmly express that they will not accept the gifts of the common people who are also in danger.

The soldier's thinking is extremely stubborn at some point, in other words, it is brainless, and Zhao Yi's way of thinking is the same, it seems that women and children are not fed, why should they eat and drink? They would rather stand hungry and cold for more than ten hours in the middle of winter than accept food from women and children hungry.

As everyone knows, if the soldiers who are the protectors are all hungry and fighting, once they fall down because of their lack of body, who will give the women and children behind them a place of shelter?

Yun Mo took a box of warm milk from a woman, handed it to the little girl beside her, and looked at the woman frowning as if she wanted to scold her child for not taking other people's food, but was intercepted by Yun Mo before he could speak.

"I'm not hungry, I've had breakfast." She stated the facts plainly, "A bowl of porridge, a plate of pickles, a carton of milk, an egg, and a full tube."

Reaching out and sending the blanket that the girl next to him drooped down, Yun Mo swept over the many children with vegetables on the truck, and said in an almost commanding tone: "Before you arrive at the base, you don't have to deliberately prepare food for me. All resources are used with children first, the elderly second, and then adults."

The cold voice reached everyone's ears. Not only did she stop the busy woman, but the soldiers on the truck looked at her several times.

"If you encounter an unexpected matter on the road and need to be solved with combat power, then ......" Yun Mo unloaded the mountaineering bag behind him. One by one, biscuits, mineral water, bread and sweets were pulled out of it, "then, all resources should be used optimally by the military."

She raised her eyes and swept over the women who had not washed for a long time, and said, "There is any objection to the above."

With a light tone, a calm temperament, and the addition of that mysterious and unpredictable force value, all the women and children nodded subconsciously whether they understood it or not, and even some young soldiers were stunned by her.

Yun Mo stopped talking. She curled up in the corner of the truck with a Tang knife and a blood-stained green military uniform wrapped around her, turned her face sideways, and peeked at the surrounding environment in the wind and snow with an expressionless face, checking for any abnormalities.

The caves fell from the gray sky one after another, and the smell of the T-virus wafted in the air. Haunting the tip of her nose, lingering.

T-virus...... I'm afraid that from this morning, those zombies and aliens who have encountered heavy snow will seize the time to devour the virus, and they can't care about chasing prey for the time being.

But what about when the snow stops?

Yun Moha let out a white breath, and said in his heart that after the snow stopped, the zombies would probably become more ferocious...... And humans. But it's still standing still. Faint, sleepy, untouched and eaten, will not be conscious.

She glanced at the RV behind the palace, thought of Xiao Chen who was like a time bomb inside, and thought about Xiao Chen as soon as he woke up, Han Xiuyu could still control him. But. There's just no big mess.

Slowly resting his little face on the Tang knife, Yun Mo rubbed the cold hilt like a cat, found a comfortable position to press the weight of his head, narrowed his dark jade eyes and relaxed his spirit, ready to take a break on the bumpy truck.

An army green tunic is draped over her head. Covering the thin shoulders, the soldier in the truck involuntarily slowed his breathing, the woman stopped what she was doing, and even the young child lowered the chewing sound in his mouth, as if doing so would make the girl sleep better.

The tires flattened the thick snow and drove off into the undulating distance, and the RV behind the convoy followed behind with a deep and shallow foot.

"Xiao Yu." Wei Jun squeezed into the aisle, his fat all stuck on the walls on both sides, which made his whole person a lot more stable. I saw that he stretched out his fat fingers and poked the scales of Xiao Chen's calf for a while, so bored that he was covered in hair, "You said this kid shouldn't be a genetic mutation, right?" How did it get like this?"

Han Xiuyu glanced back and said to Tian Hongyue in the passenger seat, "Why was Xiao Chen sent into the car?" Didn't Yun Mo look at him?"

Tian Hongyue put his hands behind his head, staring blankly at the tassel of the swaying peace charm in the car, and the tired and hoarse voice that had not slept all night sounded in the car: "I don't know. Yun Mo and the old man talked in the tent for more than half an hour, and the old man came out with a very solemn face, and then told the army to prepare a vehicle to send us to the base quickly...... Who knows what they talked about? How could Xiao Chen be sent over? Why didn't Yun Mo look at him personally?"

Wei Jun, who was ignored, scratched the corner of the wall, and pricked up his ears to listen to the conversation between the two.

Han Xiuyu frowned and asked, "I heard...... If it weren't for what Yun Mo had talked to the old man, I'm afraid we would have been left in the advance team for a day or two to observe. What do you think they will say? Creepers? Strangers? Or something else?"

"…… It's nothing more than a crisis topic." Tian Hongyue yawned loudly, and the corners of his eyes popped up. [,! A few tears, "Things are definitely not simple, whenever it rises to the point of exchanging opinions with the high-level, the topic of thinking about Yun Mo will involve some areas that we don't know. Probably - military secrets, national security, sovereign interests...... Well, I should have thought too much and said it like a meeting of national leaders."

"You can sleep for a while." Han Xiuyu swallowed a stomach full of questions, and intuitively felt that some things were not simple, not to mention anything else, just Xiao Chen's situation could not let the advance team let him go immediately, so what was the reason for them to directly ignore Xiao Chen's particularity, and instead send more people to S City non-stop?

Tian Hongyue held on to the last trace of consciousness, looked at Han Xiuyu's tangled face, and finally smiled and told him some of the words he had overheard: "Huh...... I heard Yun Mo seem to say, 'It's all mutating, it's too late if you don't go', 'Instead of checking us, it's better to hurry up and save the trapped crowd'...... Alas, don't look at me like that, just these two sentences, and nothing else."

Han Xiuyu gave a decent explanation after making up for it, temporarily suppressed some doubts, and still had something to explore, but unexpectedly, the man next to him had already closed his eyes and fell asleep.

He was silent for a while, raised his hand and rubbed his sour eyes, and pushed the glasses that had long been without lenses on the bridge of his nose, somehow, a wave of uneasiness surged in his heart, plus the experience of the previous times, he couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to, every time this feeling appeared, it was the rhythm of something big.

Now, if it's a smooth ride, it's an eight-hour drive to reach the military base. Let's hope nothing happens......

At the same time, at the other end, the coastal military base of the city of N, the seventh-floor conference area of the office building, inside the hall.

"At about 8:50 last night, the advance team found a group of escape convoys at the end of National Highway 129, unfortunately, when Team 1 found the convoy, the convoy of 100 men had been wiped out, many of them were police station personnel from S City and members of the underworld organization. This also includes the captain xxx and the deputy captain xxx of the police station......"

"The convoy died a miserable death, there was not a single intact corpse present, and if it was not bad, it was probably attacked by evolutionary zombies...... Yes, that's right, the evolutionary zombie is what it described in the information that came from the Kyoto military headquarters twelve hours ago."

"The advance team was unable to determine if there were any creeper remnants nearby, nor were they able to determine if there were survivors nearby. The current situation is not optimistic, if even a men's escape team of about 100 people can't get rid of the hunt of evolutionary zombies, then the survivors who escape from S City are afraid that the chances of survival are not very good."

"Therefore, we must be fully mentally prepared - we will not be able to save the trapped people in the short term."

The Sven man on the podium in the conference room tapped the table slowly and methodically, but his voice was very solemn: "The epidemic spread very quickly, and several soldiers in the living forces of the base fell into an infection coma for some reason, although we isolated them in time, but there is no guarantee that the infection of the virus can be contained."

"The base needs soldiers, some established regulations need to be changed, starting tomorrow, recruit troops for survivors who enter the base, preferably strong and healthy men, of course, women with good stretches can also be used. We need a group of militiamen who take turns patrolling the base and standing guard. After all, everyone should also know that no matter how big the base is, it can't unconditionally raise a group of idlers."

The man stacked up the materials on the podium, loosened the tie around his neck, and continued: "The inflation in the base is very strict, and an egg sells for about 100 yuan, I'm really curious about when this is, why hasn't the banknotes been invalidated?"

"Okay, let's do it until we find an alternative to the banknote driving and trading function, but I hope that some people don't go too far, play the common people hard, and be careful of being killed by the mad civilians. Huh."

The corners of the man's mouth hooked up a flirtatious smile, his eyes stared straight at a certain big entrepreneur below, and a pair of narrow eyes flashed with a hint of playful contempt.
