Chapter 289: Drawing Salary from the Bottom of the Cauldron
It wasn't until the beginning of this new day that people no longer woke up to the whispers of zombies and the loud noises of weapons and abilities attacking zombies, and the civilians in the base gradually felt that the zombie tide had receded.
Of course, many zombies were not destroyed. Sooner or later, they will definitely come back.
And at this time, the members of the northern base who turned the tide at the critical moment had already left.
The civilians at the base did not rejoice for long, and soon fell into a new panic.
The base's higher-ups announced the commendation order, and the vast majority of the Adeptus teams and guard bosses large and small were on the list. The original purpose of the high-level was to convey to the people that "we have repelled this zombie tide, and we will definitely be able to repel the zombie tide in the future".
Unfortunately, it backfired. When many people heard about this commendation order, their expressions were very blank.
They simply didn't believe that the top brass of the base could repel the zombie tide on their own.
In other cases, the people did not personally participate in the battle, so they are not very clear, but the helicopters of the northern base have passed back and forth over the base in a majestic manner. Are they here to do a live broadcast of the battlefield?
And as time went on, more and more news circulated in private. Prisoners who survived said that the base hierarchy tied them up and threw them into a pile of zombies as bait to attract them.
The civilians who left the base on the back side of the base said that they were almost consumed by the zombies, but the guards did not let go of the ropes they had promised.
The various Adepts who have fought on the walls say that the zombies follow one after the other. The barricades and the fence couldn't hold up, but fortunately they suddenly stopped somehow, and the base had a chance to fight back.
And the person to whom these rumors point is familiar to everyone.
So with anxiety and anxiety, people went to visit Fang Ru's residence. However, what is unexpected is that Miss Fang and Mr. Wu have already left?
The northern base was originally an outsider, no matter how powerful it was, people didn't know much about them, and they didn't have any psychological dependence. But Miss Fang and Mr. Wu have done every bit for the base, especially the ordinary people. It's obvious to all.
The top brass of the base did not say a word about the exploits of the two. Apparently unloading the mill and killing the donkey!
Fortunately, the mother-in-law who had been taking care of Miss Fang's diet was still there, and said that Mr. Wu had left a medicine for the civilians. Although these potions are not gratuitous, these reasonably priced potions are provided to the protection of the people compared to the brutal methods of the base that only know how to keep people out of the building where they are when something happens. It is more acceptable to the people. So even if Fang Ru's purpose is to make money. The people still think. Wu Fang and the others did not give up on them even if they left.
While ordinary civilians miss the days when Mr. Wu and Miss Fang were there, their resentment and distrust towards the high-level of the base have deepened. However, the high-level officials of the base didn't realize that they still wanted to take back Fang Ru's old residence. Anyway, Miss Fang and Mr. Wu both went to the north. This container house is very comfortable to live in, why not auction it at a high price and make another profit.
When the people learned about it, they were furious. The potion left by Mr. Wu is still there!
Even if they are used to being angry and dare not speak, this time they are really challenging their limits.
Fortunately, before the people could bear it anymore, the mother-in-law came forward to resolve it, and through her relationship with Shen's mother, she left this container house. Shen's mother wanted to invite her to live in the inner base, but although her mother-in-law didn't say it directly, she made it clear that she didn't want to trouble others. In order to take care of her self-esteem, Shen's mother agreed.
The anger of the people subsided. Nothing happened. Only the guards were surprised to find that civilians from the outer base occasionally passed by the outer side of the inner base, and the glance at the inner base seemed to be even more resentful.
The days of the base are gradually back on track, whether it is a stranger or a civilian, how to get out of the base is the same as before the zombie tide. People are still accustomed to buying a little potion before leaving the base to protect themselves from returning safely. My mother-in-law would only sell enough potions to buy a base once at a time, and even if people wore out their mouths and raised the price to an incredible price, they still refused to sell more. So the people trembled, afraid that one day the potion would be sold out, and they, the civilians, would have nothing to rely on when facing the zombies.
But as time went on, people began to realize that something was wrong. Why hasn't this potion been sold out yet?
And not only civilians, but also the Adepts can buy potions. The first to use were the Ming team, the Xinyue team and the Lin Hu team. At first, the team thought they were just draining their inventory. It's been a month, how much did they buy at the beginning, and they haven't used it up yet?
As a result, with these three teams as the starting point, Mr. Wu's potion once again became an indispensable addition to the combat power of each team after disappearing for a period of time.
At the same time, although the high-level got the weapons in the arsenal with the help of the northern base, they were all consumed in the repelling of the zombie tide, and there was no possibility of replenishment. The guards were huddled in the base more than before the zombie tide, and every shot they fired had to think deeply and again.
Fang Ru's residence did not reproduce the scene that it once was, but all kinds of potions were transferred through the three teams, and they secretly but continuously flowed out of the gate of Fang Ru's residence.
Whether it is a supernatural or a civilian, they all tacitly hide it from the top of the base. So much so that when the base realized that something didn't seem quite right, a full month had passed since Fang Ru left, and Fang Ru had already arrived at the northern base safely.
But until then......
[How far is it......]
The little fish in the bed of the truck is about to be spit upside down.
As soon as the words fell, suddenly the wheels pressed against a raised mound again, and the speeding off-road vehicle lifted its four wheels off the ground, and then fell heavily.
So the people in the carriage took off like shaking the Lantern Festival, and then fell into the air.
Fang Ru was the worst, he had already fallen to the ground, and he was continuously injured by the impact caused by the small fish and the pot. After playing around outside, Fang Ru, who opened his eyes in a flicker, climbed to the edge of the carriage with difficulty, spitting stuffing......
What the? Isn't there a helicopter?
Hehe, people are out of gas!
From the northern base to the Jing'an base, it takes about a week to fly each way. It is simply not possible for the fuel of a helicopter to last so long. Fortunately, there was a military base (this base is not another base) to replenish fuel on the way, and it was still very smooth when Yang Ze and his party came over.
But who would have thought that when they walked back, those military bases would be occupied by zombies! (To be continued......)
