Chapter 277: New Population
"It's raining again......"
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Wang Tao turned back to He Jijun and said:
"Lao He, can you fly a plane today?"
"It's not a big problem." As long as there is no extreme weather such as strong winds and lightning, the plane can be driven. However, He Jijun continued, "But the helicopter has been used a bit more recently, and many parts have been replaced due to corrosive acid rain. There aren't many parts in the base......"
"That is, the helicopter can't be used often?"
Wang Tao frowned.
"Well, if there is too much corrosive acid rain, there will definitely be problems with the plane...... Unless you wait for the weather to be fine. β
He Jijun was a little helpless.
"Well, there's no way around it. I can only trouble Lao He, you have to worry about it more, pay more attention to it......"
Wang Tao shook his head.
Now you have to use airplanes. If you drive to Bauhinia City, what time will it be, and the ground is full of zombies, and you can't get by.
Wang Tao is going to go to the Bauhinia base today.
Yesterday, Lan Yulian had already said that there was a suspected fourth-order zombie over there, and Wang Tao had to go and see what the situation was. If it was really a fourth-order zombie, then Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng might be in danger.
As for the candidates who will go out this time, He Jijun is naturally going to go. Although Wang Tao learned how to fly a helicopter, not to mention this kind of extreme weather, it is normal weather, and he doesn't dare to drive it.
Then there are Jiang Shixue, Xu Xiaojun and Lightning.
Wang Tao doesn't plan to bring too many people, in case there is really any irresistible danger, it is not necessarily good to have more people, after all, the helicopter has such a large space.
"Wang Tao, you have to be careful!"
Ding Yuqin was a little reluctant to sort out Wang Tao's clothes.
She just reunited with Wang Tao, and she also wanted to go out with Wang Tao, but she knew that she was too weak now and was a burden to Wang Tao, so she didn't say much sensibly.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry."
Wang Tao patted her hand, and then said.
"I might stay there for two days, after all, fourth-order zombies may not be so easy to find. In the past two days, I asked Changhong and them to take you to hunt zombies, and you can just follow behind to mend the knife. There are still a lot of zombies around our base, which should be enough for you to kill. β
Ding Yuqin's blood volume has only increased to 30,000, and there is still room for growth of 70,000 in the future. This must allow them to continue to increase their blood volume, less than 100,000 blood volume, they can't participate in Wang Tao's various actions now.
"Hmmm! I'll take the time to improve my strength! β
Ding Yuqin nodded.
In the past, when she was in the Mizusawa base, she basically didn't go out, and she didn't hunt zombies much, so her strength was very weak.
Later, after she felt that she was not of much help to Wang Tao and might just be a vase, she began to try to hunt zombies.
Now that she has lived a wandering life in the last days for such a long time, her combat effectiveness is not to mention how strong, but at least she is at the middle and upper level of the supernatural, which is also very good.
Wang Tao looked at Han Rui next to him again.
"So are you."
"Don't worry! With your help, my strength will definitely improve quickly! β
Han Rui patted her chest very confidently.
She is a relatively strong woman, and she is not willing to hold Wang Tao back.
"Good."
After Wang Tao went to explain a few words to the others, he stepped onto the helicopter.
Buzz β
With a roar, the helicopter left the military base.
"I feel like there are more and more zombies......"
Looking at the zombies attracted by the plane below, Wang Tao was a little helpless.
Not to mention the zombies in the city, let's just say that if the zombies outside the city go to the military base, it will also be a big challenge to the base!
Naturally, there is no way to defend military bases. The Bauhinia base doesn't seem to be very good...... Wang Tao is a little confused now, and he doesn't know where to go.
The helicopter was much slower than the previous fixed-wing transport plane, and it took some more time to come to Bauhinia City.
"Ho Ho ......"
"Roarβ"
The helicopter flew past the zombie horde, which immediately attracted the attention of countless zombies, and they ran under the helicopter, quickly disrupting the formation of this group of corpses.
Wang Tao cheered up and observed the movements below. The strength of the fourth-order zombies is too strong, and they can even shoot down the helicopter, Wang Tao has to be on guard at all times.
Fortunately, when I flew all the way to the base of Bauhinia City, I didn't encounter any danger.
Wang Tao contacted Lan Yulian.
"Wang Tao, is that you? You're not on that helicopter! β
Before Wang Tao could speak, he heard Lan Yulian's surprised voice.
"It's me, clear a flat place for me to land."
The Bauhinia base is large, but there are also quite a few people. Wang Tao was afraid that someone would come over to get in the way because of excitement or curiosity.
"Good!"
Lan Yulian quickly cleared a clearing of the lot, which was at the door of a large warehouse, with vehicles and people waiting next to it.
After the helicopter landed and Wang Tao and several people walked out of the plane, someone immediately pulled the helicopter into this large warehouse. Lan Yulian was still very thoughtful.
"Wang Tao!"
As soon as Wang Tao got off the plane, Lan Yulian pounced excitedly. Wang Tao stroked her hair and said:
"I haven't seen you in two months, and it's still so beautiful!"
Among these women around Wang Tao, except for Jiang Shixue, Lan Yulian is the best maintained.
Jiang Shixue is because she has a special physique, which no one can compare. Lan Yulian is because she is the leader of a force, she usually does not go outside to scavenge for supplies, and she is a wet nurse, so she can keep herself in good condition at all times.
Hearing Wang Tao's praise, Lan Yulian was very useful. She put her foot on Wang Tao and kissed him on the cheek, then let go of Wang Tao and hugged Jiang Shixue beside her at once.
"Light snow! I miss you! β
Jiang Shixue was a little embarrassed, but she also reached out and hugged Lan Yulian, she knew that Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng liked her very much.
Wang Tao hugged Lu Yingfeng. Lu Yingfeng was a little embarrassed, and her face was blushing.
Wang Tao pinched her face, and then said with a smile:
"Let's go."
"Hmm~"
Several people returned to the central area of the base, and Wang Tao introduced Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng and He Jijun to each other.
Lan Yulian found out that Wang Tao was still carrying a dog.
"Huh? What's its name? β
Lan Yulian asked with some curiosity.
"Lightning. The entire military base is gone, only it remains......"
Wang Tao explained briefly.
The reason why he carried lightning was because he didn't know how lightning should be promoted, so he took it out for a walk, and maybe he would find a way to get promoted.
"Poor little ......"
Lan Yulian's motherly love attacked, and she was ravaged fiercely with lightning. Then she talked about the suspected fourth-order zombie in detail.
"Recently, there have been a total of 4 third-order lord zombies around our base. But now these 4 lord zombies are all dead, it should have happened last night, after all, I saw these zombies during the day yesterday. These lord zombies were torn apart, and they died in the zombie horde......"
Lan Yulian took out a mobile phone, and there were photos taken on it.
Although it is not too clear, you can probably see that these zombies died really miserably.
Just looking at the corpse, there is no way to tell what the situation is. Wang Tao also felt that it was the hand of a fourth-order zombie.
The difference in the strength of the third-order lord zombies is not too big, and it shouldn't cause this situation.
"Did you hear anything?"
Wang Tao asked.
"Nothing seems to be moving...... I've investigated, and no one at the base has heard from me, including those on duty. β
"Isn't there any movement?"
"No......" Lan Yulian shook her head, and then as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly said, "Oh yes, these four lord zombies all died in the same place, so I said that they were killed at the same time." β
"These 4 zombies were together before?"
"No, they were ...... in different directions before"
"Then that's weird......"
Wang Tao frowned.
These 4 third-order lord zombies weren't together before, they suddenly got together last night, and then they were tortured and killed. But there was no movement...... It's not that fourth-order zombies can't do it to this extent, but that zombies also know how to do things in secret? Or is it that this fourth-order zombie has a very peculiar method, so that these zombies can't make any movement before they die?
"What I'm worried about is...... In case this is a fourth-order zombie that is good at stealth or sneak attacks, it will be very dangerous! β
Lu Yingfeng suddenly spoke.
Wang Tao nodded. That's what worries him as well. A fourth-order zombie may not be terrifying, but if it is a fourth-order zombie who is good at concealment and sneak attacks...... That would be terrible!
"By the way, have you picked up the crystal nuclei of these third-order lord zombies? What are the crystal nuclei? β
The strength of these zombies can be inferred through these crystal nuclei.
"No, after we found out that these zombies were dead, we asked people to take hidden potions to take a sneak look, but we didn't find anything, their crystal nuclei were gone. There are so many zombies around, maybe they will be kicked by zombies somewhere......"
Lan Yulian said with some pity.
After all, it is the crystal nucleus of the third-order lord zombie, and it is still very valuable.
"Well, tonight, I'll go out and see what's going on."
Wang Tao thought for a while.
It's useless to just analyze it here, you have to look at it.
"I'm with you!"
Lan Yulian immediately raised her hand, but was pressed by Wang Tao.
"Are you here to be my oil bottle?"
ββ¦β¦β
Lan Yulian pretended to be very angry, but Wang Tao obviously didn't eat it. He pinched her little face and said:
"Don't come out at night, only me and Xiaoxue go out."
Others can't see at night, and at night it's really a drag oil bottle.
"Okay."
Lan Yulian had already arranged for someone to observe the movements around her, and she didn't find anything for the time being. Wang Tao and Lan Yulian walked around the base and learned about the situation at the base.
I have to say that Lan Yulian does have a talent for management.
After she got all the survivors of this Bauhinia City to this base, she managed it in an orderly manner, basically there was no chaos, and before the corpse tide arrived, it was a thriving scene.
Only then did Wang Tao know that the group of survivors from Duzhu Town had indeed come to Bauhinia City, and they were all accepted by Lan Yulian.
At the beginning, there were nearly 10,000 people in the Bauhinia base. Later, after Lan Yulian brought everyone else in Bauhinia City, there were more than 10,000 people. After other foreign survivors and survivors from Duzhu Town joined, the population of the entire Bauhinia Base now reached 20,000.
"21,944 to be exact - oh no, a new baby was born in the base yesterday, and now it's 21,945!"
Lan Yulian said to Wang Tao with some pride.
"Oh? And the new population? β
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
In the last days, it is already difficult to survive on your own. Most people don't choose to have children, and no one wants their children to come into this world to suffer.
Wang Tao himself has this kind of thought, and he doesn't have the slightest idea of having a child now. But then again, Wang Tao has also come into contact with a lot of women, and sometimes he doesn't prepare safety measures, but he hasn't been hit once......
"I can't have a problem, right?"
Wang Tao suddenly doubted himself.
After all, if you want to say that a man and a girl can't have children, then both parties may have problems, but if a man can't give birth to more than a woman, then 100% of the men have problems......
Shaking his head, Wang Tao quickly shook off this idea. The child is too far away from him to be something he can think about now.
Lan Yulian naturally didn't know that Wang Tao was thinking so much at this moment, and after she heard that Wang Tao was surprised by the new population, she said quite proudly:
"Ahem, before I took over the base, the birth rate of newborns here was almost zero - no one wanted to have children, and no one dared to have children. But in the two months since I took over, there have been more than 20 newborns! But unfortunately, several babies have died before......"
Lan Yulian sighed.
At present, the medical conditions are not good, and the newborn is very fragile, and the slightest carelessness will lead to premature death. Lan Yulian was the first to see the child who died young, and she was sad for more than half a month......
However, Lan Yulian quickly raised her head again and said with a smile:
"A new student represents hope! If a base does not have newborns, then it is doomed to destruction, and our Bauhinia base has nearly thirty newborns, I believe that our base will survive forever! β
Looking at Lan Yulian, whose face seemed to radiate light, Wang Tao suddenly felt a little unbearable to hit her.
But Wang Tao also has the responsibility to tell Lan Yulian about the current situation.
"Yulian, I think you're great, I'm ashamed of myself. But I have to tell you that the current situation ...... Hard. β
Wang Tao looked at her seriously.
Lan Yulian was a little panicked by Wang Tao, and she subconsciously said:
"Isn't it a tide of corpses! Our base can be stopped for the time being! And we've got you! You're all fourth-order, you're so strong...... You're supposed to protect us, right? β
Speaking of the back, Lan Yulian's tone suddenly weakened.
Asking Wang Tao to protect the Bauhinia base also means that Wang Tao has to take a big risk. She wanted to protect these people in the base, but she didn't want Wang Tao to be harmed......
Seeing Lan Yulian's appearance, Wang Tao stroked her face.
"Of course I will protect you, protect you. However, you haven't seen those powerful fourth-order zombies, the kind of giant zombies that are tens of meters tall and like skyscrapers, if they appear, they can step into the Bauhinia base in one step......"
Wang Tao, Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng talked about the situation in Wuyang City. Hearing Wang Tao's introduction of this kind of giant zombie that can shoot down the plane, their eyes were frightened, and then fell silent.
"And to give you the bad news, we also contacted a base before we contacted you. They were also trapped by the zombie tide, and when we were about to go to their aid, their base fell, and it was easily breached by the giant zombies......"
"How could it be ......?"
If the giant zombies hadn't attacked the human survivor base, then Lan Yulian might still have been a little lucky, but now that there are examples here, her last bit of luck is gone.
But Wang Tao didn't plan to let her go, so he just listened to Wang Tao continue:
"When I was driving a military transport plane before, I ran into a giant zombie, and the giant zombie was not in the city, but moved with the corpse tide and walked east."
ββ¦β¦β
The eastern side of Wuyang City...... It's Bauhinia City!
Lan Yulian suddenly felt that she was cold, as if she had lost all her strength all at once.
Wang Tao stretched out his hand and hugged her.
"I'm not attacking you, I just think you should know the real situation we are in."
ββ¦β¦ So, what would you do if a lot of fourth-order zombies or giant zombies really came? β
Lan Yulian raised her head and bit her lip to look at Wang Tao.
"Take you both away. I'll only have to take you both away. After all, I only have one helicopter. β
Wang Tao spoke very calmly.
In fact, to be honest, if that happens, even if he leaves, he doesn't know where to go, and he himself is still confused......
ββ¦β¦β
Lan Yulian's eyes suddenly turned a little red.
She is the leader of the Bauhinia base, and she doesn't want to give up these survivors. If she's gone, what's the difference between her and a murderer? But...... There's really nothing she can do! What can she do that even Wang Tao can't do.
"Hey! Don't think so much! This is all Wang Tao's imagination, in case the tide of corpses passes quickly, there is not much danger! You know, no matter what the tide is, it will always go away! And even if there is a real danger, it will be a matter for the future, maybe we will already have a solution by then! β
He Jijun suddenly spoke.
He felt that the morale of the people was a little low, and he had to mention the morale.
"Haha, too. I'm talking about the worst-case scenario, and I'm a person who has always been lucky since the end of the world, and I've never encountered any desperate situation, and even if there is, I can save the day...... I'm sure we'll be fine after all! β
Wang Tao laughed, and then kissed Lan Yulian fiercely on the face.
Lan Yulian glared at Wang Tao, but didn't say anything more.
He Jijun is right, even if there is really danger, it will be in the future, at least it is safe now, and it is not to the point where you have to run away......
"I'll take you to see the newborns."
Lan Yulian said suddenly.
Wang Tao hesitated, then nodded.
"Okay."
Lan Yulian took Wang Tao to the hospital at the base.
The conditions of the hospital are rudimentary, but the space is large, and there are many areas divided inside. Pregnant women are concentrated in one of these areas, and they are cared for and fed. Lan Yulian gave a very good treatment.
Wang Tao saw the more than 20 newborns.
Newborn children are wrinkled, ugly-looking, and have some smell on them. But Lan Yulian didn't dislike it at all.
Suddenly, she handed one of the children to Wang Tao.
Wang Tao looked at the child's wrinkled little face, and then looked at Lan Yulian's expectant eyes, he shook his head and didn't answer.
"Okay, I've seen it. I'll go back and get ready and go out in the evening. β
After Wang Tao finished speaking, he turned his head and left, without the slightest nostalgia.
Lan Yulian's body stiffened, and her face was a little pale.
