The steel-backed beast shuttles through the mountains, and there are fewer and fewer zombies, it should be said that the large army has passed through the mountain pulse on the Hengduan Plateau where the northwest and the basin intersect, and the temperature has begun to show an abnormal decline.

"Is there really an ice storm?"

"Of course Her Majesty will prophesy?"

"Divine stick! I told you that there were weather satellites in the meeting, so you should stop promoting your theories! ”

"Will we be able to get to our destination before the ice storm?"

This is the topic that everyone is most concerned about in recent days. The speed of the steelback beast is not slow but it is not too fast, and the mountains between the northwest and the large basin that could have been traversed in two days, the steelback beast walked for six days before it came out.

The Great Basin, the beautiful and rich place of the past, the moment it came out of the mountains, everyone was silent, the most densely populated Great Basin was the focus of nuclear bombs, and after the death clouds were swept away by the mountains in the northwest and northeast, the sprouts of hope may have begun to be drilled elsewhere, and there is still a deathly silence here.

Dead trees spread all over the ground, far and near, replacing the original flowering and shady trees of the Great Basin, and there was nothing but patches of black ash on the ground here, far and near.

Occasionally, a few lone lame, legless zombies crawl towards the mountains nearby, probably the only living creatures in the Great Basin.

No, absolutely not, when the ice storm came in the previous life, there were thirteen giant geothermal power station bases in the big basin, such as Zijiang, Hongyan, Pigeon Mountain, Margai, Yongchang, Bailu, Loncin, Kuzihe, Xiangshuidong, Muchuan, Sandaokan, Xiong Blind Ditch, and Muddy City.

The 44th Army, which has been sticking to the Great Basin, has rescued nearly 10 million survivors, and in the long winter after the ice storm, the human beings who are not afraid of death are active around the thirteen bases in the Great Basin, and only after the long winter did the 44th Army issue a dizzy eastward order, causing one of the hopes of mankind to gradually disappear.

In the previous life, Xiao Dai entered the big basin from the north, this time, she came in from the west, although the time was nearly a month earlier than the previous life, and she didn't have to rush in the snowstorm, but she didn't rush towards Zijiang, she had her own plans.

The 44th Army should have discovered the anomaly of temperature changes through the migration of zombies, and began to recruit and send people to excavate the Zijiang base, at this time they hurriedly rushed over, and there was only one end, and their weapons were confiscated, and they were forcibly incorporated into the people's system, no matter whether they lived or died, Xiao Dai would never participate in the hard life of three steamed buns a day.

Only when the ice storm came, and half of the soldiers sent out by the 44th Army to blow up the culvert bridge froze to death and their combat effectiveness was halved, did they dare not take away the civilian armed forces and wantonly oppress.

At that time, they would unprecedentedly recognize the legitimacy of civilian armed forces with a certain strength, register them, and call them the National Guard Reserve, each with a different number to roam around the basin, as long as it does not touch the interests of the army and does not make trouble in the base, the 44th Army will allow these organizations similar to mercenary groups to be active everywhere.

The beautiful Great Basin, the original granary of the southwest, after more than 200 million people plummeted to 10 million, decades of rich accumulation and grain storage are enough for them to squander for a long time.

Fifteen years later, Xiao Dai once calculated that if the leaders of the 44th Army had a little brains or foresight 14 years ago, they would definitely be able to rely on these capitals to survive until the dawn era 15 years later, relying on the fertile soil of the Great Basin and the preliminarily purified water system, they would be able to revive human civilization.

However, what is lacking in this era is prophets, or even if there are prophets, it is estimated that they will die ugly.

Xiao Dai's goal is very clear, collect currency reserves, material reserves, if she can, she hopes to be able to expand her team, now with her, the team is only 18 people, and the two little girls, Mo Xinxiao and the blind old lady are cut, and there are only 14 people who can really use it.

If she had so many people in the fleeing team she had met before, she could have plundered all the way like a locust, taking the lead in seizing the Bailu geothermal power station that the 44th Army had developed half a year later, relying on food, weapons, and energy to recruit troops and horses, forming a force that the 44th Army would not dare to underestimate, and could even influence the fate of tens of millions of survivors in the entire Great Basin.

People, in the last days, the most important thing is always people, and the most difficult to guess is also people, Xiao Dai doesn't want to repeat Tian Fu's mistakes, for the selected team members are carefully selected, and they will not trust a person as easily as Tian Fu.

Cao Ermao, Cao Ermao, you guy shouldn't have arrived in Zijiang yet, if you are here, I don't have to work so hard to select team members, your vicious eyes can save me a lot of things!

"Your Majesty, there's a town ahead?"

Xiao Dai woke up from her memories, the carriage was too crowded, she had to trade a second-hand armed bus to follow behind under the broken excuse that there was a secret warehouse somewhere, although the armed bus was also added with a few bulletproof shields and barbed wire, but it was still very safe to drive in the big basin where the zombies were almost extinct.

"Reduce the speed of the car, approach at a constant speed, Kansai, I warn you not to disclose any information about the Holy Light Sect to the outside world, the 44th Army is very sensitive to the cult."

"Yes, Your Majesty, you've explained it many times, but we have to have an explanation or a reason."

Ma Lulu glanced at the relationship strangely and said:

"We are the Minister of Propaganda, please don't forget your identity at any time, okay?"

"The platform of the Cultural Protection Association is too big, it is easy to attract the prying eyes of others, it is better to call ourselves a mercenary group, it has strength, but it will not provoke the nerves of the army."

Finally a sensible person, Xiao Dai adopted Wang Banshan's suggestion, thought about it for a while, and said:

"Let's just say that we are a mercenary organization that escaped from Anding County, is that our name? Let's call it the Old Mercenary Group. ”

"I hate weird names."

Kansai was starting to talk again, and Xiao Dai yelled impatiently in the walkie-talkie:

"If you don't want to be thrown down, shut me up!"

－－－－－－

There is an endless pile of garbage on the outskirts of Guobei Town, and some ragged people are constantly shuttling through the garbage heaps, trying to find something valuable, and there are many low houses in the garbage piles, and from their rudimentary construction materials, it is clear that these people must have fled from nearby villages.

The steelback and the bus named Mir in Kansai slowly approached the garbage heap, and some of the scavengers looked up at the two cars, if it weren't for the fact that the shape of the steelback was too sadistic, and the zombie flesh and blood on it made the scavengers feel terrified, these people would have rushed over to stop the vehicle, tearing the passengers on it to shreds, and stealing their supplies.

"Look, that person is eating people!"
