Chapter 112: The Present Situation

"There are currently about 110 people in the base, most of them are nearby residents, this industrial area was developed and used in previous years, and after the outbreak of the zombie virus, Xiangcheng fell in just three or four days. Some people fled from the city, and some stayed in the city......" Li Zijing took Zhang Zhao and a few of them, walked around the base, made a brief introduction, and told them some of the situation.

As a seaport city, Xiangcheng has a very developed trade and tourism industry, so this medium-sized city gathers people from nearly 100 countries around the world. After the outbreak of the zombie virus, many people escaped from the city in time and headed inland. There are also many people who, for various reasons, are unable to escape. The main thing is that the virus spreads so quickly that the whole city becomes hell overnight. I don't know how many people died in their sleep and became walking dead.

Over time, the city was purged, the remaining survivors survived in the cracks, and the manufacturing and transportation industries were paralyzed, resulting in a shortage of resources, until even the government evacuated and the city became terra nullius. Many groups of survivors, in order to compete for more limited resources, slowly gathered one base after another. In addition to defending against zombie attacks, you also have to guard against other base survivors. After the zombie virus swept through the city, it seemed that another disaster had befallen the city, but in just over a month, the fall of the base and the fire between the survivors gradually reduced the space for human existence.

Such a process is unavoidable in almost every city inhabited by humans. Perhaps many people who dream of rebuilding human civilization have not had time to react, and reality has been shrouded in boundless darkness.

The camp where Li Zijing is located also survived the Great Purge, and there were originally dozens of people, basically all of whom were relatives, old neighbors in the same village, colleagues and classmates. In addition, in the section of the road from H City to Xiangcheng, many people who want to go to the East China Sea camp have also been added, and it should be regarded as a relatively large survivor base within a radius of twenty kilometers. Now every few days, there are still people who come here by mistake, and they can only officially join after inspection. In this area, there are still many survivors, hiding in places that are not easy to find. Some may be three or five people, some may be one person, and after the terrible upheaval, they are not afraid to show their faces.

During the more than two hours of conversation, Zhang Zhao always had a question in his heart: "Since this is not far from the camp of the East China Sea Islands, why does no one go?" ”

Li Zijing's face changed slightly, and he sighed and said, "We also tried to send someone to inquire about the situation, but in the end, there was no one who even came back to report the news." Later, I thought about it and went to see for myself, only to find that there was a group of people guarding the way to the port, and as long as any survivor passed by, they would be extorted, and many even lost their lives. ”

According to Li Zijing, there were about 20 people, both men and women, who were mainly extorting supplies from passers-by. If only a part of it is handed over, these insatiable people will basically collect all the things on the passers-by, leaving only a dress. Those survivors who did not even have a cookie, they did not let go, and either humiliated or killed directly.

Since Li Zijing left H City and fled all the way, the ability he has shown has impressed others. There are many people like this who rob other survivors for their survival. After countless negotiations and armed duels, he barely came to Xiangcheng unharmed. Slowly, everyone regarded him as the leader and called him Boss Li. A base without a leader is like a plate of scattered sand, as long as there is one person who can lead everyone to do the right thing, then this person can unite the strength of a group of people. Later, when he came to this base, Li Zijing helped organize several resistance battles, and he had the reaction and thinking to the event, so that everyone could survive the apocalypse safely, and naturally more people believed in him.

Li Zijing didn't leave for a while, most of the reason may be that he still wants to wait for Zhang Zhao and them. After all, when he was at a dead end, it was he and Guo Rong who pulled in time, Li Zijing is a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and this kindness is extremely important to him.

In this base of more than 100 people, most of the people are between eighteen and fifty years old, and those who have survived the baptism of the apocalypse are no longer comparable to those rookies, at least in terms of mentality, they will change. After Li Zijing took over the management of the base, he carried out a series of drastic reforms, including personnel arrangements. For him, managing a group of more than a hundred people is more than enough.

The members of the base are mainly divided into the logistics department, which is responsible for the custody and distribution of resources. Laundry and cooking are also done, and even planting and farming are also done. Most of the members of the logistics department are women, numbering about forty-five people. It is co-managed by He Miaomiao and Li Yan. The Guard Department is responsible for the safety and defense of the base, personnel inspections, and the custody of important materials. There are about 30 people in the guard department, divided into five groups, their captain is called Chen Hui, who was the captain of a shopping mall security team before the end of the world, and he used to be a soldier, and he is relatively calm and careful. The other department is the extremely important field support department, also called the combat department, which is responsible for going out to survey and search for materials, and of course it will also deal with some difficult things, and there are about 30 people. The Field Support Department is divided into a reconnaissance team and a material transportation team, nicknamed the code hound and the wild wolf. Their captain was an active-duty soldier named Cheng Peng, who had been separated from the large army. In addition to the three well-defined departments, there are also full-time doctors, maintenance workers and, of course, people with special skills in other groups who are also involved in other tasks in their spare time.

When talking about the encounter with the Crow Legion on the way to Xiangcheng, Zhang Zhao learned from Li Zijing that he had also met people from the Crow Legion when they were searching for supplies a few times before. Since the number of zombies in Xiang City is still very large, it is impossible for anyone to completely control an area. The sphere of influence of the Crow Legion is basically on the township roads outside Xiangcheng, after all, the city is too dangerous, with the rapid increase in the number of zombies and the shortage of materials, those ordinary people who were originally gentle before the end of the world have become desperate, although the Crow Legion is numerous, it is still difficult to avoid some things. After all, the resources of the city are limited, and if you eat more biscuits, you will have less, and relatively speaking, it will be easier for towns and villages to survive and develop. What's more, the Raven Legion is also doing the job of robbing passing survivors, which is easier than searching for supplies on their own. Human beings are afraid of death, but zombies are not afraid, even if it is the leader of the crows, the zombies still cry and bite.

Some supplies, which are only available in cities, such as scarce medical supplies, are necessary. The people of the Crow Legion will also come to Xiang City to search, this area is so big, and it is inevitable that they will encounter it if there are many attendance tasks. The Crow Legion took advantage of the large number of people, and every time they returned to Xiangcheng, they would come with five or six cars and dozens of people with great fanfare. At a meeting between the two groups of people in the residential area to the east, there were only seven or eight people on Li Zijing's side, and the number of the Crow Legion was several times as many. At that time, the situation was similar to that of Zhang Zhao and them, and Li Zijing and they found some better materials, a small food wholesale warehouse. At that time, the goods were basically full, the Raven Legion was late, and there was still a small amount of food left in the warehouse. Since this warehouse was found by the people in Li Zijing's base, it is understandable that they can take the things here at will. But who are the Raven Legions, and who are they willing to eat some leftovers?

Relying on the large number of people, the Crow Legion not only wanted the surplus goods in the warehouse, but also Li Zijing for everything in their car, including the vehicle. Materials are one of the two most important things in the apocalypse, even more important than shelter. At that time, everyone was ready to fight to the death, and later there was indeed a small rush, until later Cheng Peng brought other team members to help, and after a machine gun fire, the Crow Legion fled in a hurry.

In Li Zijing's base, there were five rifles, all of which were brought by Cheng Peng when he and the large army resisted the corpse tide before. A total of five teammates lost contact with the bulk of the group, and their remaining ammunition was almost exhausted in that clashes. This is also one of the reasons why the Raven Legion did not dare to set foot in Xiang City again during this time. For ordinary people, firearms are things that can only be seen on TV, five rifles, five magazines, all swept away, and ordinary people are not scared to have nightmares.

"These guys, just for the time being, will come back in the future." Li Zijing was slightly distressed. The next time they encounter the Raven Legion, it will be a fierce battle.

Zhang Zhao and the others had been in close contact with the Raven Legion, and in that fierce battle, those images pressed down on his chest like a big stone. The wounds on the body are still new, the Raven Legion is another hidden darkness in the apocalypse, if you can't fight it, you can only avoid it, the ghost knows how many people the crow leader has gathered.

Since then, the base's field support department has been very careful to prevent the Raven Legion from following them, and if they discover the base, an even more devastating attack could ensue. At present, neither side knows each other's strength very well, and they do not dare to act rashly.

"We still have to find a way to get to the camp in the East China Sea Islands, otherwise, we won't be able to support it for long." Zhang Zhao expressed his thoughts, after all, there is systematic management, and food and safety can also be guaranteed.

"Yes, most people here still want to go there, the base is safe at the moment, but after a long time, it will be too risky." Li Zijing also agreed with him, as long as there is a choice, no one will push himself to the top of the waves.

The joy of reunion, Zhang Zhao's heart has never felt as steady as today. Li Yan had been following him closely, and the woman seemed to have become less talkative, and only answered when Zhang Zhao asked her. The devil knows what this woman went through and what she was thinking during this time. Song Qing is still the same as before, but she lacks some liveliness, maybe she has become mature in the end of the world. In this situation, people can't do more, they can only think more.

In order not to worry Guo Rong and the others, Zhang Zhao still had to go back to their temporary hiding place and bring the people who had been born and died with him here. At least it's safer, and a lot of things need to be planned, including the East China Sea Islands camp they'll eventually go to.

Li Zijing sent a few cars to follow Zhang Zhao and their car, and the dilapidated van was left at the base. Toyota off-road, I don't know how many generations it is, full of horsepower.

Lu Yang sat in the back seat, watching Li Yan look at Zhang Zhao affectionately, and suddenly couldn't help laughing. The three people in the car all looked at him in surprise, not knowing why. Wang Wu dozed off half-lying and asked casually. Lu Yang shook his head: "No, it's okay, it's okay." He was thinking in his heart, in the past, there were few women, and he was already unable to fight, what would happen if Li Yan met Li Zhizhi and them. He looked at Zhang Zhao and thought meaningfully: Brother Zhang, you should ask for more blessings.
