Chapter 17

Gu Wanqing was indeed an official person.

In addition to her abilities and some secrets that could not be told, she became the supervisor of various official bases.

Apart from helping to kill zombies and search for supplies, she did have free time at other times.

She had just returned from the border to the base.

She was preparing to investigate the corpse of that girl she had buried before.

When she came back the day before yesterday and passed by there, the entire grave had been dug up and the flowers were gone too.

Of course, what was missing along with that was the corpse.

Could that corpse have become a zombie?

It was indeed possible. If she remembered correctly, there was a very large tear on the face of that corpse.

Many zombies had this kind of tear.

Perhaps this corpse really came back to life and turned into a zombie.

She had no way to go deeper into the city area and could only look around the vicinity, but did not see any familiar zombies.

"Sister Qing, there is a truck ahead that honked its horn. Should we go down and take a look?" the boy asked.

If he was not mistaken, it seemed that someone had gotten out of the cab and then ran into town.

"Okay, let's go over and take a look," Gu Wanqing came back to her senses and looked at the truck on the road ahead.

The car stopped alongside the truck.

The door of the cab was still open and the ignition key had not been removed either.

But there was no one there.

Gu Wanqing sat in the passenger seat and took a glance at the adjacent vehicle, then opened the door and got out of the car.

"Sister Qing, be careful, what if there's something else in this truck?" The boy also got out of the car to follow Gu Wanqing’s footsteps.

As for the man sitting in the back seat, he did not get out of the car and still sat there with his eyes closed to rest.

Gu Wanqing did not care about this man either.

He was just someone the superiors told her to protect anyway.

But she couldn't leave him in one place.

Naturally, she could only take him around everywhere.

Fortunately, this man looked unfriendly, but was quite obedient.

He ate what was given to him, stayed where he was told to stay, and did not make a fuss.

The man was called Pei Yu'an. He was the son of her superior's superior.

He had been frail and sick since he was a child. His parents also felt that others did not have the ability to protect their son's safety, so they asked Gu Wanqing to do it.

As for Gu Wanqing, she was the first ability user in China.

It was not because of the apocalypse.

She awakened her abilities three years ago.

It was also because of this that Pei Yu'an was assigned to her for protection.

The boy who followed her was a child who later entered the laboratory.

The two of them had been in the same laboratory for three years.

Yu Qingxian naturally got on without any hesitation.

The pull rod could be turned into a steering wheel to control the direction, just like driving a small car.

This made Yu Qingxian very happy.

She had seen many travel bloggers riding luggage trolleys before.

Yu Qingxian also held the suitcase with one hand and held the other hand up high.

Then she happily made ancestral hooting sounds.

Since the death of her parents, Yu Qingxian had rarely been as happy as she was now.

It was just that when she heard the sound of a vehicle, she was so scared that she tumbled off the suitcase and dragged it into the village.

Happiness was so short-lived.

And when she fled into the village, she first smelled that fragrance.

In this small village, there were actually living people.

But then again, it made sense.

The place was only one or two kilometers away from the base, and all the zombies around it had already been killed.

And there were probably monitoring stations a few kilometers or tens of kilometers away.

Of course it was not to detect survivors.

It was to detect hordes of the dead.

If they did not know about the zombies’ direction of movement in advance, then this base would not be safe.

Only by grasping the zombies’ direction of movement in advance could the survivors be better protected.

It was very likely that there were monitoring teams around the surrounding cities of this official base.

And they used walkie-talkies with very long radio waves.

They could send advance notices.

The moving speed of zombie swarms was usually not too fast. A distance of ten or twenty kilometers was enough for the entire base to make full preparations.

If it was tens of thousands of zombies, thermal weapons would naturally be activated.

If it exceeded 100,000, they would choose to retreat.

Therefore, the perimeter walls that the authorities built in establishing bases became the primary focus.

Of course, these were all just Yu Qingxian's guesses.

As for the specifics, they would have to wait until the base was really built to find out.

Yu Qingxian sniffed in the direction the smell was coming from.

There were still quite a lot of people living in this small village.

At least more than 20.

Of course, what Yu Qingxian cared about at the moment was not those humans, but the convoy of vehicles driving in.

The convoy stopped in the village.

This shocked Yu Qingxian.

Oh no, she had wandered into someone's den!

Had those few shrieks she made just now been heard?
