Chapter 1 Sitting in the City of Sorrow

2126, June, or July, who knows, for people who live in the dark, for people who have no concept of time, it is difficult to determine a specific date.

Panshan City, Zhongyu Seventh Bureau, mysterious base.

Wang Qiang took stock carefully in the warehouse, and there were not too many materials in the warehouse to count, so Wang Qiang had to be extra careful.

It has been almost two years since he entered the secret base, and two years ago, after being raided by Sun Zaichen's troops in the grinding stone pit, Wang Erye led everyone to migrate to the secret base.

Thanks to Wang Erye's precautions, in order to prepare for a long-term situation, Wang Erye transported a large amount of materials to the base. Thanks to Second Master Wang, the people in the secret base can survive until now.

"It's not going to be too good." Wang Erye, who was taking stock on the side, spoke.

"If we save a little, the 2,000 people in the base will be able to live for another year, a year at most." Second Master Wang said with a sigh.

Up to one year!

"No, you miscalculated!" A voice retorted.

It's Chen Haonan.

Chen Haonan opened his mouth and said: "Save a little food, ration it every day, and you can sit and eat for two years, but we can't live that long, we will all die." ”

"Why?" Wang Qiang asked.

Now everyone is trapped in the base, life and death are already in the same boat, as a biologist, Chen Haonan is a talent that Wang Qiang relies on very much.

Chen Haonan replied: "Brother Qiang, this is common sense, everyone is very weak, we lack vitamins!" There are no vegetables and fruits in the base, no vitamin C supplements, many people have night blindness, sepsis, once the skin has a wound, it is difficult to stop the bleeding, in addition, we can not get vitamin A and B supplements, calcium thinning, rickets, memory loss, reduced activity ability all the time to consume our vitality. ”

Chen Haonan Balabala said a lot of repetitive and long-winded words, and it is hard to imagine that a logical biologist would be tortured by the environment to the point of incoherence.

Wang Qiang was silent, as Chen Haonan said, most of the people in the base are in a bad condition, and survival and health have become the biggest problem.

Wang Qiang turned back to one of his subordinates and said, "Song Yi, you go and call Shangguan Xuanyu and Xiao Yuhan over, and we will discuss and then go out to search for some supplies." ”

As soon as Wang Qiang said this, everyone, including Wang Erye and Chen Haonan, dissuaded: "No, Brother Qiang, it's too dangerous outside, it's not worth it!" ”

It's too dangerous out there!

Wang Qiang was silent.

Yes, every time you go out, you have to pay a great price, ranging from the death of three or five people to the death of half of the people, which is really unbearable.

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, a wave of impotence tortured himself, Wang Qiang sighed, stroked his thick black beard, and then shook his head and left the warehouse.

Walking slowly in the base, there is an idle population everywhere, and the long-term semi-subsistence and closed life have deprived many people of their vitality.

Walking and walking, looking at everything in the base, Wang Qiang's thoughts drifted back to when all this happened......

After the failure of the rescue of the Nian Maniac in Pratunam two years ago, the city has been reduced to rubble in the flames of war. At that time, the zombie tide suddenly attacked, and he and Xiao Yuhan escaped with the help of a dilapidated jeep.

After many twists and turns along the way, he finally returned to the grinding stone pit, but the garrison of the grinding stone pit had been completely evacuated, leaving only some refugees who could not leave.

At that time, on the way to escape, I had already found out that this zombie attack was not a small scale. Out of compassion, he decided to take all the refugees who were willing to leave with him, and then go to the secret base en masse.

It's just that I didn't know at the time that this zombie attack was not a matter of scale at all, but a complete catastrophe.

Finally came to the secret base and had a smooth meeting with Wang Erye, and at this time, the entire secret base already had more than 2,700 people.

Before returning to the base, Wang Erye had accumulated a large amount of materials in the base in line with the strategy of digging deep holes and accumulating grain, in order to fight a protracted war.

At that time, he still didn't realize the crisis faced by the Huaxia Continent, but the increasing number of zombies in the Panshan area made him a little vigilant.

Soon after, the team that went out to look for supplies found that the Hongqian troops who were supposed to besiege Baiyang City did not know when they all evacuated the outskirts of Baiyang City.

Realizing that something was wrong, he sped on the outskirts of Yunxian County again, and found that these places that had been beaten were abandoned by the army! Not only was it abandoned, but seeing that the remnants of the supplies everywhere were not taken away, one can guess how hasty the retreat of the army was!

On the one hand, he asked people to collect the materials near Yunxian County, a suburban county, and on the other hand, he led a small mobile unit to spy on Fangling City in the north. However...... On the outskirts of Fangling City, I saw a terrifying scene!

The tide of zombies piled up like mountains and seas is beating the wall of Fangling City.

This is a massive siege of the city by millions of zombies, and the magnificence is simply terrifying!

It wasn't until I saw this scene that I knew that something was wrong.

The Panshan region is the central region of the territory ruled by the Huaxia Alliance, and it is far away from the frontier, so it is impossible for such a large-scale zombie storm to occur. Now that the zombie storm has blown here, no matter how dull my head is, I know that the zombies must have broken through the human defense line on a large scale!

The short observation cost him the lives of dozens of elite soldiers, and the relentless pursuit of the zombie horde allowed him to kill for a long time!

When he returned to the base with the remnants of the team covered in blood, he finally knew that disaster had come.

In the next few days, a Central Army airship crashed near the base, and Shangguan Xuanyu, who was rolling and climbing, came to the gate of the base alone.

With the arrival of Shangguan Xuanyu, Wang Qiang finally knew the situation outside.

In September 2124, the zombies broke through the defense line of the Northern Army and the Eastern Army from the north, and more than ten large cities, including Longbian, Montenegro, Devil's Ridge, East Gate, and Water Gate, were slaughtered by zombies. Because of the large number of troops drawn, the Northern Army and the Eastern Army could not even concentrate the defensive forces and the battle was declared over.

A large area of land fell, Zhao Valve and the Hong family were finished, Zhao Junyi, who led his troops to conquer the army, decisively led the army to the south after getting the battle report, and Hong Qian was a filial son, knowing that his father who was sitting in Dongmen might be more auspicious, he still led the army back to Dongmen City......

When the zombies broke through from Black Mountain City, and then defeated the defenses of the Northland, a large number of zombies Chen soldiers in Longcheng, and Long Xiaoyuan personally went out of the mountain to organize the overall defense...... When Shangguan Xuanyu left Dragon City, the zombie tide that stretched for five hundred miles had already surrounded Dragon City.

From the information brought by Shangguan Xuanyu, everyone in the base knew that the Huaxia Alliance might be finished!

At that time, everyone in the base was divided into two factions, and there was a fierce debate about the future of the base.

After recognizing the overall situation, some people felt that they should continue to move south through Baiyang City, so that they might be able to find a living space in the south.

This proposal is very difficult, there are at least a million zombies in Poplar City, and with less than two thousand guns in hand, it is almost an impossible task to cross Poplar City. If you want to go to the south, you can only take a detour, but whether it is to go east or west, the extra distance will increase the great risk, at that time, the zombie soldiers have already besieged Fangling City, and it is only dozens of kilometers away from the secret base. If you go around the road again and encounter a zombie tide in the wild, you will be dead.

Others advocate staying at the base, where the exit is secret, the base is fully equipped with facilities, and there is a safe underground water supply system, so that everyone can live here for a long time as long as there is enough food. Many people still didn't believe at the time that zombies could defeat humans, and in the past many years, humans have shown super resilience, and this time, it should be no exception.

But...... Two years on, and the situation is getting worse and worse.

Panshan belongs to the mountainous area, and the place where the secret base is located is a hidden location in the mountainous area, and it stands to reason that it should not be a place for zombies to focus on, but even in such a place, there are still a large number of zombies roaming around the base.

Compared with the zombies in the south, those zombies in the north and south have a higher degree of evolution, more terrifying lethality, and more numerous.

In the past year, due to the shortage of materials, I organized several search teams, but without exception, each exploration paid a heavy price.

There are too many zombies!

With his own strong force, he still can't take care of other people, and when he goes out, he really trades his life for supplies.

After several failed searches, most people have also cut off their thoughts of exploring the outside world, and compared to the fear of life, hunger is not too terrible.

……

Wang Qiang thought as he walked until he bumped into someone in the hallway.

"Ah...... Strong...... Elder brother. A pleasant voice came, pulling Wang Qiang's thoughts back from his memories to reality.

Wang Qiang looked up, and then stroked his beard in embarrassment: "Ah, Xiaoshi, it's you." ”

This little poem is a refugee who fled to the neighborhood two years ago, when he was alone, covered in scars, and looked very pitiful.

At that time, he was exploring the situation in the vicinity, and when he saw poor little poetry, he saved her.

This girl gives herself a special sense of intimacy. Xiaoshi is a good girl, she is a little timid and afraid of people, and Wang Qiang doesn't seem to have any other content about Xiaoshi in his head.

"Excuse me, I hit you, does it hurt?" Wang Qiang asked.

"No, it doesn't hurt." Xiao Shi covered her eyes and ran away shyly.

Wang Qiang shook his head, thinking to himself that this girl was really timid, how did she grow up in the last days?

Wang Qiang shook his head and continued to walk towards the base.

……

Xiaoshi quickly ran back to her room, rummaged through the drawer, and soon found a box of colorful contact lenses.

"Black! Black! Black! Ah, found it! Xiao Shi took out the black one from a pile of contact lenses and put it in her eyes, blocking the dark green pupils.

"Brother Qiang, he didn't find me!" Xiaoshi muttered quietly, and looked at herself in the mirror by the way.

In the mirror, the poems are no different from ordinary people.

……

The next day, Wang Qiang overrode the public opinion and gathered a hundred soldiers to go out in search of necessary vegetables and fruits.

The gate of the base was opened, and Wang Qiang stood in the natural sunlight, feeling the warm warmth completely different from the cold night condensing lights in the base, and Wang Qiang felt that perhaps this was the only benefit of the wilderness.

In less than five minutes after walking out of the base gate, Wang Qiang and his soldiers killed more than fifty zombies!

In order to ensure that the action would not attract too many zombies, Wang Qiang equipped the soldiers' standard rifles with mufflers, and issued a dog-legged long knife to each person.

The dog-legged long knife is very effective against the beginner and second-order zombies, slashing horizontally and vertically and pointing at the zombie's head to greet them, and cutting watermelons.

After purging the zombies in the radius, Wang Qiang arranged for the soldiers to disperse and look for food on the spot.

The base is surrounded by lush jungle, which has not been destroyed by humans for many years, and has long become a primitive deep forest, full of wild vegetables and wild fruits, but there is no shortage of food, and in one morning, everyone collected a lot of food.

But after the afternoon, Wang Qiang's good luck was over.

A warrior was picking apples when he was bitten by a zombie buried deep under the rotting leaves, and his foot without armor was bitten by the zombie.

The soldier's life was in danger, and after Wang Qiang fixed the soldier's artery, he decisively amputated!

This is a good thing, after the amputation, a large amount of blood shot out of the lower leg of the warrior, attracting countless zombies swimming nearby!

Wang Qiang's head was buzzing, there were so many zombies within a radius of two kilometers, this was a hornet's nest!

Wang Qiang hurriedly beckoned everyone to gather and form a defensive formation, but it was too late, and more than ten soldiers who had gone too far had already been entangled by zombies. These fighters were so scattered that Wang Qiang couldn't even rescue them alone.

The battle broke out suddenly, and seven or eight speed-type mutant zombies rushed into the battle formation built by the soldiers like huge hyenas, instantly smashing the defensive formation to pieces!

The killing of zombies is nothing, but the impact on the warriors is great, and the uncontrollable fear makes the warriors kick their guns and shoot indiscriminately, killing many of their own people.

"Retreat! I'm coming to the Queen! Wang Qiang hurriedly ordered, and drew his long knife to kill the mutant zombies that rushed into battle.

The soldiers retreated in a panic, and they didn't even have time to take most of the collected supplies with them.

Covering up all the way, and finally returning to the base, Wang Qiang counted the survivors, seventy-eight people. In a short period of time, more than 30 people were lost! Looking at the harvest again, there are pitiful vegetables and wild fruits, and Wang Qiang's heart is cold.

It was another fiasco, and the atmosphere inside the base was extremely low. After this battle, Wang Qiang no longer mentioned going out to explore.

In the conference room of the base, Wang Qiang and a group of henchmen sat in the conference room and began to talk in a very serious atmosphere.

Everyone is pessimistic about the situation of the base, but compared to the eerie horror of the outside world, the base is actually quite good in general.

Everyone discussed for a while, but never said a practical suggestion, but Li Xian repeatedly proposed to expand underground, and strive to open up a few slightly larger indoor planting bases.

Just when everyone was sighing, there was a knock on the door of the conference room, and a very young soldier in the base said excitedly to the people in the conference room: "Brother Qiang, Second Master Wang, General Shangguan, Sister Xiao, Chief Xiao, Coach Guan, Teacher Li, Brother Wang Wang...... Everyone, Aunt Wang said that she had a breakthrough! ”

Wang Qiang knew the little soldier who came to talk, this fifteen or sixteen-year-old guy was a refugee taken in by the grinding stone pit, born with a nagging voice, nicknamed Little Trumpet.

The little horn is worthy of its name, at first he followed Shangguan Xuanyu as a herald, and in a short time Shangguan Xuanyu had auditory hallucinations, so Shangguan Xuanyu sent the little horn to Wang Erye, and then Wang Erye sent it to Xiao Yuhan, and Xiao Yuhan gave it to Wang Qiang like a treasure. Wang Qiang was tossed by the words of the little horn, this product is full of energy, and his mouth does not stop, which is really very human.

Wang Qiang had an idea, and thought to himself that Wang Liyao in the base didn't need to communicate with people more, so he sent the little horn to Wang Liyao.

At this time, Aunt Wang mentioned by the little horn should refer to Wang Liyao.

Wang Qiang knew that since Wang Liyao returned to normal, she had been tinkering with the phase movement project she participated in, and more than two years had passed, and there was still no gain, and even Chen Haonan, who was once very interested, gave up.

At this time, Wang Liyao actually said that she had made a breakthrough!

Wang Qiang and everyone present immediately stopped the meeting and went to the equipment configuration room in the center of the base together.

But seeing that the room was lit up with a completely different red light from the past, Wang Liyao was standing excitedly on the edge of the machine console.

"What's going on?" Wang Qiang asked.

When Wang Liyao saw Wang Qiang coming, she immediately jumped up with joy like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child: "Wang Qiang, it's successful, the machine has finally been turned on over there!" ”

Wang Qiang's brain twitched, and he stammered and asked, "What succeeded?" ”

Wang Liyao is not good at words, Wang Qiang doesn't understand well, Chen Haonan can't look past it, so he helps explain: "Brother Qiang, this is the way things ......"

It turned out that as early as a year ago, with the help of a group of soldiers in the army with repair skills, Wang Liyao had repaired the teleportation machine in the base. However, the teleportation machines in this base are only docked with the teleporters in the northern Kyoto area, so it is useless to repair them unilaterally. In order to use this complete set of equipment, it is necessary to make the machines in the Nakakusai Bureau base in Kyoto, which is 1,700 kilometers away, run to achieve phase movement.

Obviously, this is an impossible thing, the Kyoto area was occupied by zombies as early as the first year of the X-virus outbreak, and the city is without humans, so it is naturally impossible for machines to turn on.

Originally, Wang Liyao also died of this heart, but out of a sense of responsibility, Wang Liyao has always carefully maintained this device, after all, it has been her hard work and watch for most of her life.

But, today, a miracle happened!

The machine in Kyoto has magically turned on!
