Chapter 7: Survivor Base

On the first night of the last days, Li Mu didn't sleep well, not to mention that the biological clock that he had long been used to staying up late couldn't be adjusted for a while, but that there was a roar of mutant insects and beasts outside the building from time to time, which made it difficult for Li Mu to sleep.

I felt dazed and finally fell asleep not long after, when I heard a loud noise, and Li Mu was awakened again. He had just sat up from the sofa, but saw that An Ran had already opened the door of the suite.

"What sound?" Li Mu asked in a daze.

"Gunshots." An Ran said, and walked towards the door, "Let's go, go to the top of the building and have a look." ”

Li Mu hurriedly got up and put on his shoes, but An Ran had already arrived outside the door.

The sky was already slightly bright, but the light was not enough to see the surrounding situation clearly, Li Mu took a small strong flashlight and hurriedly climbed to the top of the building, but saw An Ran looking at a building in the distance, the gunshots came from that direction, and a strong light could be faintly seen flickering.

"That's a survivor base, we're going to go there and change the potion for you later." An Ran said, "Maybe some big guy rushed over......"

"Uh, isn't the base finished?" Li Mu said.

"Where is it so easy, hehe," An Ran said with a smile, "Although the scale of that base is very small, there are hundreds of people, as long as you don't encounter those insects and beasts within the third ring that are said to have mutated to level four or five, it is impossible to break through the outer defense of the base." Look, the gunfire has stopped......"

"That's good, if that base is over, won't my dream of becoming stronger be shattered? Hehe......" Li Mu said with a smile.

"Hehe, even if this base is finished, we can find other bases." An Ran said with a smile, "Now there are at least one or two hundred large and small survivor bases in the entire capital, this is just relatively close to us, and the transaction is fair." Let's go, let's get ready, the sky will be bright soon, and we'll set off after dawn. ”

"Uh, it's so early......" Li Mu glanced at his watch, it was only past four o'clock in the morning, and he was pitiful that he had only slept for four hours this night......

It's not so troublesome to get up in the morning of the last days, let alone brush your teeth and wash your face, on days when there is no running water, gargling is a luxury, Rao is Li Mu brought a toothbrush in his backpack, and he was also asked by An Ran to prohibit it, and in the end he was only allowed to soak the towel with a sip of mineral water and wipe his face.

"I said, even if there is no running water, wouldn't there be a river in the city and a lake in the park? You won't be so stressed about water, right? Li Mu sorted out his backpack while leaving all the unimportant things in it - such as the "treasures" that he was going to take to exchange for gold in ancient times, and only brought all the food and water according to An Ran's request - this was to prevent the surrounding survivors from turning into thieves to sweep the building after leaving.

"Those places are basically guarded by a team of survivors, and water and food are also essential for survival, which is expensive." An Ran said and walked out of the suite, carrying a small backpack and a shotgun.

"Uh...... Do you have a gun? Li Mu was taken aback.

"There are no bullets." An Ran pursed his lips and said, "Ten parasites can be exchanged for a gun, but bullets are very expensive, especially scattered bullets, one parasite can only be exchanged for two shots, and it is not cost-effective to use this to fight zombies." But carrying it on your back makes it easy for those who specialize in robbery to make a living afraid to do it......"

China's ban on guns may be very beneficial in peacetime, but when the end of the world comes, ordinary people have no weapons to defend themselves, but their chances of survival are greatly reduced.

Carrying a backpack that had been lightened by half, he returned to the foggy streets, bypassed the messy bus, and arrived at the tripwire trap, An Ran didn't even forget to untie the thin wire rope and put it in his bag.

"If you encounter zombies on the road later, remember not to hack them to death, you must cut off your limbs first, and then kill the parasites directly......" An Ran taught Li Mu the knowledge of survival in the last days as he walked, "If you meet a living person, don't say hello indiscriminately, and the most important thing is not to show your timidity......

Li Mu kept looking at the surrounding environment while remembering it carefully. There are a lot of cars parked on this main road, and even a lot of high-end familiar brands, models with cool shapes that have never been seen before. Just by opening the lid of the fuel tank in some of the cars, you can guess that the fuel in these cars has long been drained, and the rest are probably all powered by electric energy. Li Mu thought about how much higher the technology content of the cars that were 30 years ahead of his time would be higher than those of his own time......

The journey was quite smooth, except for encountering a few zombies wandering on the road, under the command of An Ran, the two quietly bypassed, and there was no danger. However, Rao was like this, and he walked cautiously for less than two kilometers, and it took more than an hour to reach the gate of the survivor base, and the sun had already risen.

"When we get there, that building is." An Ran pointed to Li Mu, but it was a six-story shopping mall. It is important to know that the floor height of the mall is much higher than that of ordinary buildings, so it seems that there is no fog above three floors.

The mall is no better than ordinary buildings, there are many entrances and exits, and the exterior walls are also glass, and many places can be seen along the way are broken, all blocked with scrapped cars. The two walked around the mall before they came to the mall's only reserved entrance.

Scrapped cars and shelves are also used as barricades, leaving only a two-metre-wide passage behind which a dozen men are on guard at gunpoint. Two other men are passing through a barricade and appear to be survivors of the trade.

An Ran and Li Mu followed through the passage, and the guards looked at the two of them with a hippie smile, but An Ran ignored them and just strode into the mall.

The mall is foggy and dimly lit, but just a short distance from the entrance is a huge bar where the trading point is.

"Welcome, haha." Behind the counter, a big man with stubble grinned.

An Ran frowned and said, "Have you changed?" ”

"Looks like a regular customer, yes, we just took over the business, haha," the stubble man grinned, "but we promise the price is fairer than it used to be, how about it?" What do you want to change? ”

Li Mu felt An Ran's body tense, obviously on high alert.

It seems that the gunshots in the early morning are not insect and beast attacks, but the original survivor base has been captured!

Li Mu doesn't know if this situation is very common in the last days, but at least for himself and An Ran, this is not a good thing, who knows the details of these guys, will they simply open a black shop?

But it is clear that it is impossible to turn around and walk away......
