CH 72

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar place in front of him, Fang He actually resisted subconsciously. Although this place can be said to have the best defense in the apocalypse, there is a large amount of survivors accommodating it, and the supplies were consumed too fast. Everyone who wants to live in this place has become a little selfish and greedy, and will do anything to achieve their goals.

Li Zhen rubbed his brows, and turned his head to look at Fang He, who was lying on the window and looking outside. This made Li Zhen feel inexplicably distressed. The kitten might remember something in the past. Li Zhen reached out and hugged Fang He, “What are you thinking about?” 

Fang He turned his head and looked at Li Zhen, “Nothing, you don’t look well, do you want to rest?”

Li Zhen tried his best to implant the seeds of consciousness into the mutant zombies under his control, it’s just that there are too many mutant zombies. And in a densely populated place like A City, Fang He could see that Li Zhen’s mental energy was consumed too much.

Li Zhen shook his head, “Let’s go first.”

If he wanted to open Fang He’s heart knot, then he had to face everything in A City. Li Zhen pinched Fang He’s ears and took out a bunch of supplies from the space. It was mostly packaged food, and some bagged wheat, and some other daily necessities. 

Fang He’s cat paws leap on Li Zhen’s shoulder, looking at the supplies behind him, and feeling a little distressed. He would rather give these materials to ordinary people than to give them to the guards outside A City. Those people are scumbags, and they collected materials far more than what they handed over to the base.

Along the way, when Fang He was idle, he also talked to Li Zhen about some basic rules of the base in A City.

A City base was not built in the central district of A City. Instead, A City base was at the foot of the mountain in the northeast direction. Three lines of defense were established with the help of the mountains, and there was a lake under this group of mountains, which was enclosed within the three defenses as a whole.

There are extremely complicated rules for entering A City base. Except the residents of A City, who came along with them at the very beginning, they enjoyed long-term residency rights. Other survivors, who came from various regions have to pass the special inspection of the base; you can then enter the base, but only within the first line of defense. And you must pay a certain amount of supplies if you want to enter the second line of defense.

To go further directly inside the third line of defense, the amount of supplies would have to be doubled tenfold, but the third line of defense is particularly safe, and there is almost never a zombie invasion. Even ordinary people can make a living by doing some work there.

If you have special materials, it can also be exchanged for the resident status of A City base, and can be assigned to a residence. Although it’s only a small, simple temporary housing, it could mean that you can have a free supply without doing work. It is not very delicious, but it is absolutely safe to eat.

At the beginning, the survivors who came from T City were confined to the first line of defense. This area is relatively vast, but there is always the danger of invasion by zombies.

From the very start, his uncle already saw the danger of being invaded by the zombies every day in the first line of defense and couldn’t bear it. And so he betrayed him, in exchange for the two of them entering the third line of defense. 

Li Zhen smiled at Fang He’s resentful expression, and reached out to pick his tail, “We’re not going to just rush in, are we?”

Fang He looked at the direction of the A City base in the distance, his cat tail twitched, even so Li Zhen really did hit the nail on the head.

Li Zhen could actually see a sense of eagerness in Fang He’s eyes, and raised his eyebrows, “Are you sure some mutants have sneaked in directly before?”

“I’ve never heard of this, but I’m different. Does the base still need supplies from a cat? I can take you in!”

Li Zhen pinched Fang He’s ears, “Animals can also be infected by zombie virus. Do you think a relatively well-established base will let you go as a kitten?”

Fang He tilted his head and thought about it, but the information he knew in his previous life was all the information about people, where can he know how the base treated the small animals? Fang He moved his cat paws away from Li Zhen’s hand, then he proudly held his head high, “My speed is fast. No matter what kind of three defenses it has, it will never stop me.”

Li Zhen patted Fang He’s head, “We don’t lack these supplies, why do we have to work so hard, and the more generously we go in, the better off we’ll be.” 

As long as Li Zhen mentioned any plan, Fang He was completely fine with it. His planning is far inferior to Li Zhen’s, so Fang He lay on Li Zhen’s shoulder and rubbed Li Zhen’s ear, “That’s up to you.” Anyway, it was easy for him to fight a guard or two, ha!

Li Zhen tilted his head, and lightly bumped his head against Fang He, then started the car.

At this moment, zombie Xiao Sang sat in the trunk of the car with skill, and stood by the window with Xiao Baiqiu.

Xiao Baiqiu raised its head, and when it saw Fang He, it immediately lowered its head and jumped onto Xiao Sang’s arms and yelled at Fang He. 

Fang He stretched his head forward, and looked at the pitiful appearance of Xiao Baiqiu, then waved his cat paws, “We will definitely come out after a while, so you guys stay honestly outside.”

After saying this, Fang He remembered his previous promise again, “Xiao Baiqiu, you keep the crystal nuclei from the hunt, if Xiao Sang wants to eat crystal nuclei, let him eat enough.”

When Li Zhen heard this, he slightly raised an eyebrow. This kitten actually didn’t feel regret at all. Before, when Xiao Sang ate the crystal nuclei like jelly beans, the kitten cruelly wanted to restrict Xiao Sang.

Fang He waved his paw at the two, “Let’s go!” 

However, even if Li Zhen’s car sped up, Xiao Sang still held Xiao Baiqiu following along. Fang He felt strange and patted Li Zhen, “Why do they still follow us?”

Li Zhen glanced at them and slowed down the car. He raised his hand, and suddenly a large scale of light flew towards Xiao Baiqiu. A large number of fish were swallowed by Xiao Baiqiu in an instant, then Xiao Sang turned around with the satisfied Xiao Baiqiu in his arms, and in the blink of an eye, the two were gone.

Fang He’s mouth opened wide, “It’s so small but it eats so much?”

Li Zhen glanced at Fang He while accelerating, “It has a space ability.” 

Fang He was stunned for a moment, and let out a whimper. He had been attracted by a large number of crystal nuclei before. When he saw so many crystal nuclei, he was so excited that he forgot everything, and just blindly integrated the crystal nuclei into the space. He didn’t even remember to ask where Xiao Baiqiu put all those things.

The closer they were to A City base, the slower Li Zhen’s speed was. Gradually, there were some other vehicles on the road, but not too many, only in twos and threes.

The road to A City is not very congested. It can be seen that A City has also taken efforts to deal with the main roads in and out, which not only brought convenience for survivors to come, but also saves time for hunters to go out.

Slowly, the periphery of the A City base was already in sight. Li Zhen squinted slightly and looked ahead. 

Fang He pointed his cat paw at the wall in front, “That high wall is the first line of defense in A City.”

The first line of defense in A City base is a fence that is gradually built with manpower. It is three meters high. Initially, it took two earth-type mutants to ram the foundation for half a month, and then let the manpower fix the spikes and various sentry points and attack stations on it.

This line of defense normally has only three entrances, but in order to prevent the intrusion of zombies, the entrances are not large, plus each person who enters needs to do the appropriate testing, so there were a lot of people waiting outside the entrance.

When Li Zhen’s car drove over, everyone’s eyes turned. When they saw that the car was almost intact, the eyes of many people lit up. They finally arrived at the A City base, and many cars were scrapped, and some cars were good enough to run, but most of them don’t count for much of a share of supplies. 

An intact car means the opportunity to enter the second line of defense. If it weren’t for the clear rules at the entrance to the base that prohibit mob fights near the base, many people would probably jump on it.

Fang He yawned lazily, “We can only queue.”

Li Zhen nodded. At this time, a malnourished and sickly uncle came over. He rubbed his hands, and stood by the car window, “Young man, do you want to exchange your number?”

Fang He instantly regained his energy and stared at the uncle. The gray-faced uncle caught a glimpse of what was inside Li Zhen’s back seat, and swallowed his saliva, “With just a little bit of supplies, you can switch to the front and don’t have to wait in line for a long time, and you can go directly to the inspection area of the base!” 

Just after the uncle finished speaking, a young man suddenly ran over and kicked the person aside, “I, I say you old thing, you dare to rob my people?!”

After the young man finished scolding, he turned to look at Li Zhen flatteringly, “This big brother, looking at you so handsome and suave, you must be a mutant, right? Congratulations, you can definitely enter the third line of defense! You see, it takes a lot of time for you to wait outside. You just have to give some supplies and I will take you directly in the inspection area!”

Fang He stood up, looking at the uncle next to them, who desolately walked to the side and squatted down. A thin woman covered with a thin gray blanket shrunken her head as she looked at them.

Li Zhen also frowned, he raised his hand and waved, pushing the young man aside with a strong force. 

The young man’s face changed immediately, he didn’t dare to make a sound, and his face shrank into the crowd in horror. Although the base clearly stipulated that fighting is prohibited near the base, if the mutants really did it, the defense personnel may not be able to stop them.

When the uncle saw the young man suddenly shrink back, he could probably guess what the person in the car had done, he clenched his fist, and gritted his teeth, then he came over again, “Sir, you…do you want to exchange?”

Fang He’s cat paws stepped on Li Zhen. It’s not easy for him to speak now, so he could only let Li Zhen answer, they naturally wanted an exchange.

Li Zhen lifted Fang He off his shoulders, he looked at the uncle and said, “Can cats be kept in the base?” 

The uncle was stunned and looked at Fang He. At this time, it was already good for people to survive, where can there be a ration left to raise cats. But looking at the neat clothes of the person in the car, and the car’s good condition, it is estimated that this mutant’s ability is very high, so it’s normal to have a cat. He also heard that the wife of a certain hunter brigade in the base raised a dog?

So, the uncle nodded, “It seems that it can go in by paying some supplies, but it also needs to be tested.”

Hearing this, Fang He really wanted to roll his eyes, he might as well just go into the space and let Li Zhen bring him in.

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and stroked Fang He’s back, “What if I exchange the number?” 

The uncle immediately smiled and said, “Not much, one person’s ration for two days is enough. Anything is fine, you see to it.”

Li Zhen stretched out his hand and brought a large package of snacks from the supermarket, and handed it over. The uncle’s eyes widened in shock, and he hurriedly hugged it. His hands were shaking because of the sheer weight, then he turned around and shouted, “Boss Hu, its a done deal!”

As soon as these words were said, the people in front of Li Zhen and the others naturally gave way. They knew this rule for a long time, but they can’t afford to give up that little ration. At most, they waited at the door for most of the day, so how could they be willing to exchange so many things for a row number.

When everyone saw the bright and exquisite packaging, they all licked their lips subconsciously. It would be good to not be hungry at this time. 

Li Zhen watched as a man ran over and yanked the stuff out of the uncle’s hand, then reached out and gave the uncle three blackened steamed buns, only then he beckoned for Li Zhen to follow.

Fang He simply wanted to stretch out his cat claws to scratch people. What kind of business is this? Why haven’t he seen it before?!

Li Zhen also frowned, he raised his hand and quietly put some compressed biscuits into the uncle’s pocket.

The uncle didn’t notice at all, he hugged the steamed bun and ran to the thin woman in the corner with a smile, and handed the steamed bun over.
