Chapter 123: New work in the apocalypse
“Who are you two?”
The two strangers were brought into the room by Mo Ye. Ye Zhongming frowned slightly.
In the apocalypse, strangers often represented dangers.
But Ye Zhongming didn’t sense any evolved aura from these two guys, they were just two normal people.
“Hello, we are from the new district base.”
The slightly taller guy was the first to speak. He was much calmer than the other guy who followed behind him.
New district base?
Xia Lei stood up when she heard those words and she placed down the dagger that she was using to slice the boar meat.
Although she didn’t know what the base was, but the new district still attracted her attention. Her husband was working in the new government district so if they formed a new base, there was a high chance that her husband was there.
Mo Ye brought these two guys over because of that reason. She looked at Xia Lei and also at Ye Zhongming before saying slowly, “Let’s understand the situation first. That place is strictly managed.”
Ye Zhongming laughed coldly. The new district base was obviously strictly managed. That place would grow and turn into Cloud Mountain War Squad but it would get wiped out in just half a year.
“Your new... Base, how did it get set up?” Xia Lei was really anxious. If not for her knowing that it would be tough for her to advance without Ye Zhongming, she would have left the team to find her husband.
Now that these two were most probably from the same place as her husband, she couldn’t conceal her anxious emotions anymore.
The taller guy called Jia Ming looked at the people in the room and he glanced at the boar meat. He then replied, “The gun unit and the new district government built it. They gathered the workers in the government building and soldiers of the gun unit as well as the survivors of the few construction zones and small districts.”
Xia Lei’s eyes lit up and asked, “Do you know Qin Jun? He works at the new government office.”
Jia Ming and Da Ming were both normal civilians so they didn’t come into contact with the government personnel. Naturally, they didn’t know Xia Lei’s husband. After the apocalypse descended, the new district was in a hurry to build the base so many things were still very chaotic. It was tough for them to know Qin Jun out of tens of thousands of people.
Seeing the two of them shake their heads, disappointment flashed in Xia Lei’s eyes but it was replaced quickly by hope. Since they met people from the new district, it means that the area was really safe and her husband might be alright.
After all, workers of the government did enjoy some special treatment.
“You all... Hunting?”
That phrase was often only used in dramas, books, or used by the rich. But now, this phrase was more and more common and it became more like a job.
The two of them nodded in reply, “The new base was set up not long ago and things are not perfect so there is a lack of resources. During these ten days, essentials have been reduced. If we didn’t want to be hungry, then either we had the crystals on the heads of the zombies or bullets if not we had to come out to find food.”
“So tough?” Xia Lei was shocked. Thinking back to how her husband was a weak scholar, she couldn’t help but be a little worried.
Da Ming glanced at this mature lady and swallowed his saliva. He was already shocked by Mo Ye’s heroic and elegant features and now that he saw a mature lady, it made him even more impressed. The quality of the girls in this team was really high.
This was even before he saw Park Xiuying who was resting in the other room if not this fellow would be even more shocked. n0velusb.C0m
Da Ming also knew that this group didn’t lack food. Look at what he was eating, it was all mutated boar meat. Everyone knew that mutated meat could strengthen the body so these foods were many times more expensive than normal food. But these people had a few thousand kilograms?
Da Ming felt okay if he didn’t think about it but when he tried to think about it, he felt a little dizzy. Anyways, he knew that with this meat, he could have the best life in the base. A life where he didn’t have to worry about anything and people would serve him and warm his bed!
But his thoughts didn’t wander. Since these people could kill that weird pig farmer then they could kill ten thousand of him.
“What is the meaning of coming here?’
Little Tiger dealt with the boar meat while asking.
“Oh oh.” Jia Ming touched his nose and was a little embarrassed, “I think you all want to head to the new base. We are more familiar with that place and we can bring you there. When you are in, we can be your guide in case people cheat you.”
“Right, the new base is really chaotic now and there are dangers all around.” Da Ming added.
“We have arms and legs so why do we need you to lead us in?” Little Tiger smiled in disdain, he didn’t think that the new district was more dangerous than boar king Gu Pan.
Jia Ming wasn’t annoyed and replied calmly, “You all don’t understand,, the new district base is surrounded by zombies and mutated monsters so it is impossible to enter. You can only use other ways to get in.”
That stunned everyone, the new district base was surrounded by zombies? Couldn’t enter?
“Let me be direct, we had to use the water pipes to get out. As the water filtration system is new and imported from Germany so it is quite wide and people can pass through it. But the system is very complex and you will get lost. The two of us want to guide and then...”
Jia Ming’s face flushed red, “We want two pieces of meat...”
His voice was a little soft and it was obvious that this was the first time he did such a thing.
Ye Zhongming didn’t find it weird. This was one of the most common methods in the apocalypse. Bases would be covered in traps and tightly guarded so it was near impossible to get close without someone guiding.
“We, that, we are forced. We have relatives and including us, we have many mouths to feed.” Da Ming lowered his head and explained, “Why not, one piece...”
“Two pieces per person!” Ye Zhongming decided, “But you must help us deal with this meat and then bring us to the base.”
The two of them agreed in joy. One piece was at least .5 kilograms so that is 10 kilograms for them. That was enough for their two families to survive for half a month.
At that moment, there was some movement from Yellow Ball’s apartment. Ye Zhongming’s expression changed and he charged in.
