Zhou Fei came out to complete the field slapped Hu Libai on the shoulder and said to him: “Yes. Captain Hu, how can you attack people casually? Wouldn’t this make the little brothers from outside feel cold towards our base?”
“…” Hu Libai thought he had a heart attack. He felt embarrassed and didn’t want to speak, but fortunately, because of his dark skin, no one could see that he was blushing.
It’s not good to be ashamed in front of someone. But he lost his face in front of Zhou Fei, because he made trouble first, and now he doesn’t need to make more trouble.
Hu Libai wasn’t that kind of stingy person. Although the bruise on his body was still painful, the man in front of him had a sense of strength. He didn’t suffer any serious injuries. He was a Tier 7 power system supernatural person and recovered quickly.
Hu Libai awkwardly explained: “Well, as the captain of a superpower, I came over to investigate you because of base security issues. It’s okay, our base will not target you.”
Zhou Fei also turned his head smiled cordially and said to Pei Zhaozhou: “I’m sorry, my brother Hu is a bit impulsive. But you can see that he didn’t want to kill you. He just wanted to try your skills… It seems that this brother is extraordinary. He is also a person who wants to enter the base. I have just come here from a certain base not long ago. We will likely be colleagues in the future.”
After that, Zhou Fei stretched out his hand with a very friendly, wide-eyed smile, and under Pei Zhaozhou’s indifferent and vigilant gaze, he retracted his hand in embarrassment and smiled bitterly in his heart.
He gritted his teeth and cursed inwardly. He was just a worker from the base who had just arrived. Why is Captain Hu looking for trouble? Why did he have to offend the indifferent handsome guy with extraordinary strength in front of him?
Even ordinary people who can survive the last days can’t be underestimated. What’s more, looking at this indifferent handsome man with bright clothes, he doesn’t seem to be tortured from the wilderness full of zombies, and it is not a good thing.
After this meeting, there was no power fluctuation, so he beat the 7th-order power system supernatural power Captain Hu on the ground. He was so fast that the Captain had to think how to punch. And in the meantime, this indifferent handsome guy hit five or six punches.
The beating turned Captain Hu into a pig head. What if his handsome face was damaged?
Just thinking about it, Zhou Fei’s whole body trembled. He was just a small Tier 6 fire-type supernatural ability player. After the fireball was thrown past, this person could hit him, and so he could not dare to provoke him.
In this way, Zhou Fei’s smile became even more flattering, and he was able to stretch out: “As this was Captain Hu’s mistake for being ignorant, I’ll take you to register in advance to the base. Anyway, with your skills, you will be specially recruited by the base, and sooner or later you will be a full member. They are all our brothers.”
Pei Zhaozhou felt a little weird in his heart when he looked at the base supernatural person who had suddenly become sincere and enthusiastic.
He had just beaten his partner and thought he would retaliate. He was not afraid of him, but worried about causing trouble for Si Huaixi.
Since the other party has expressed kindness, Pei Zhaozhou was not so ignorant to reject it. But, he still had something to ask from the other party.
He didn’t know Si Huaixi’s condition behind the city wall, he had been suppressing his anxiety. There were two base supernaturalists in front of him that are likely to know about Si Huaixi’s situation.
Pei Zhaozhou furrowed his brows slightly and couldn’t help asking: “Okay, thank you, but I want to ask one thing. Just now someone I know crossed the base wall and went in directly. I heard that zombie snakes appeared. I want to know about him. How is the situation now?”
Zhou Fei chuckled: “What? Are you kidding? We are all standing guard at the gate outside the base. How can anyone pass us over the city wall and enter… Wait, What’s that person’s name?”
Pei Zhaozhou replied: “His name is Si Huaixi, and he is the superpower ability user of this base.”
Suddenly, Zhou Fei’s pupils shook, and he thought that the name of Commander Si seemed to be this, he turned his head and asked Hu Libai: “When did Commander come back? How come I have no impression? Do you know Captain Hu?”
These days, he and Captain Hu are guarding the base’s main gate. The commander is the kind of person who is out of the base for 300 out of 365 days a year. He will not come back unless the base has major orders and arrangements.
Although the commander seldom stays at the base and seems aloof and indifferent, many supernaturalists and ordinary people on the base are rescued by the commander, and many people come to Lucheng to follow the commander and repay the favor. And it depends on the commander of the division to bring back some extremely important and scarce materials from some remote northern bases.
The people in the base respect and yearn for the commander, and even many admirers and beauties want to pursue him. The commander was the youngest known high-level ability a few years ago, and he has been quite famous in the last days. Even the largest base in the northern capital has invited the commander to join.
What’s more, the commanding officer has a handsome face that makes even a man’s heart flutter. He looks better than those big stars before the end of the world.
There was a time when those suitors stumbled upon the commander’s door to stop by and stepped on the grass in front of the commander’s door until there was no grass. Zhou Fei largely suspected that the commander was annoyed by those suitors and hid outside the base. Men and women admired him greatly.
Surviving in the last few days has become difficult. The moral bottom line of the past was repressed in front of the zombies. Under the huge pressure of survival, even the same sex can be dragged into bed to vent. Beautiful and fair-skinned men become the plaything of the strong, which is not rare in the last days. It’s even more popular because men can’t get pregnant.
Zhou Fei was stuffed with a beautiful and weak man. After trying them, he felt bored. He didn’t like a man or a woman, their cowardly and timid appearance immediately halved the interest.
Sure enough, a man should be like a commander, if he changes to a commander, he doesn’t mind doing the following.
The unscrupulous Zhou Fei licked his lips.
But he just thought about it, he didn’t intend to die. The commander was a forbidding cold mountain peak. Those piercing and cold blue eyes seemed to be able to see through people’s hearts, revealing the independence and estrangement from thousands of miles away. People can approach him?
Zhou Fei felt strange.
With the ability of a commander, why don’t he go to higher bases? Why is he staying at this small base? No, it is now a medium-sized base. The population of the Lucheng base has grown rapidly in recent years, and it has reached the standard of a medium-sized base.
In addition to a small accident just now, Hu Libai has always been honest and responsible in his duties. He has no impression of when the commander came back. He clearly said: “The record of entering the city does not have the name of the commander. He should have just arrived.”
Zhou Fei suddenly looked at Pei Zhaozhou with a curious look: “In this way, do you know Commander Si?”
Pei Zhaozhou vaguely guessed that Si Huaixi was their commander. The tone of the base supernatural player seemed to respect Si Huaixi. It seems that Si Huaixi’s status in the base is not low, at least he is not being bullied. This makes Pei Zhaozhou feel a little relieved.
Pei Zhaozhou had clear eyes and nodded sincerely: “Well, he saved me.”
Zhou Fei smiled and said nothing.
If a brick falls and hits someone from the base, they might be the people rescued by the commander himself. Although a bit of an exaggeration, even Zhou Fei has inherited the kindness of the commander.
It is not useless to say that they are all rescued by the commander.
Zhou Fei has more inexplicable comrades-in-arms. Seeing the outsiders who care about the commander so much, he has always been indifferent and relieved: “Don’t worry, the commander is okay. A little zombie can’t hurt him. It’s just yesterday that the black rain destroyed the iron nets at the bottom of the river, allowing the zombie snakes to enter.”
The corners of Pei Zhaozhou’s lips were slightly curved, and the amber-gold eyes were filled with clean and pure joy. The cold facial features seem to be much softer. The majestic and tough temperament of an imperial soldier defending the country and the people has made the common people believe and trust him.
Zhou Fei suddenly wanted to make friends with this person and said enthusiastically: “Come with me, I will take you to Xiaoli to register, if it is not for the observation period of one day, I would have taken you to familiarize yourself with the environment inside the base… Captain Hu, I’ll take him there first.”
Hu Libaimu said “Hmm…” with a swollen face with a blue nose, and he stood at the gate faithfully, but he was so embarrassed that he didn’t want to approach him. It happened that Zhou Fei and that kid looked of similar age, so he simply threw the trouble to him.
Zhou Fei ignored this awkward middle-aged man and took the new Pei Zhaozhou with hospitality. He still crackled and said, “You just came here and didn’t make any contribution to the base. The house is not very good. If you bring enough spar, I can find someone to help you change it…”
Spar, the universal currency of the end times.
When he changed to StarCraft, Pei Zhaozhou’s account balance was so small that he hadn’t even counted it. He had countless assets under his name, and resource stars were not absent. Money was not important to him, but he never thought he would be ashamed of his empty pockets one day.
Pei Zhaozhou said slightly distressed: “I… do not have a single spar.”
Zhou Fei was stunned and said with a smile: “It’s okay. You can come to my newly assigned dormitory for two days. Anyway, we are all big men… I think I lived in the temporary dormitory provided by the base for a day. There were a few dozen people crowded in that place, and a man, touched my thigh in the middle of the night. I was so scared that I kicked him and immediately ran to the logistics office of the base to apply for a change of residence the next day.”
Pei Zhaozhou thought of the key Si Huaixi gave him and shook his head: “No, thank you, I already have a place to go.”
Zhou Fei wondered: “Oh, where? I’ll drop by there.”
Pei Zhaozhou hesitated for a few seconds and said: “If I stop by, I have to talk to the owner of the house because he allowed me to live there temporarily.”
Zhou Fei followed his curiosity and asked, “Didn’t you come from outside? Do you still know the people at the base? Who? Do I know him?”
Pei Zhaozhou nodded: “Si Huaixi brought me here. Before he left, he gave me the key and asked me to stay temporarily.”
Zhou Fei’s eyes suddenly shocked: “By Si Huaixi, you mean the commander?”
Pei Zhaozhou: “If it is correct, he should be the commander, that’s what you all call him.”
Zhou Fei took a deep breath and said in shock, “Are you sure you didn’t meet a person with the same name and surname? When did the commander allow others to enter his house and give you the key? Am I dreaming now, or are you dreaming?”
Pei Zhaozhou frowned slightly, took out the key, and looked at the door number K-108, then glanced at Zhou Fei, and asked, “It’s the house K-108, right?”
Zhou Fei looked at the numbers on it, long and vertical and then horizontally for dozens of seconds, suddenly awakened. Damn! This is the residence of the commander.
When did the commander change his gender and let an outsider enter his house?
You must know that there were a few suitors who wanted to block the commander’s house, but they were beaten out mercilessly by the commander before they entered the door. So the commander deliberately used mental power to create a barrier to prevent foreign invasions. The attackers broke in, not to mention the trap left by the commander, which caught a few unidentified people.
Now everyone in the entire base knows that there is a forbidden area, K-108, the residence of the commander. It cannot be approached easily. Even Chief Cao dare not break into his home without the permission of the leader.
Unexpectedly, the Commander handed the important key to an outsider.
Zhou Fei looked left and right, but he didn’t see anything special about Pei Zhaozhou, except for being so tall and handsome.
Suddenly, He felt sore in his heart. Is it possible that the commander is a face-controller?
An elderly person in front of the line had a dispute with his family. Song Xiaoli, who was in charge of recording the people coming and going at the gate of the base, urged: “Whether it is still selling books or not, everyone in the back is waiting.”
His eldest son immediately became anxious and shouted fiercely to the old man: “You old man! How long has it been? Why are you still holding a useless book? Now that person has died in the past 30 years. It’s better to sell that book and earn some money to feed your two grandsons. At least this base will still accept it.”
The old man seems to be over 70 years old. It is really rare to live that long in the end times. If it weren’t for the end times, he was a professor of botany at an agricultural university. And he also taught base people about how to grow food. He was also supported by the base and fed his elder son’s family.
Now the base is not supporting him because he is old and useless. His life suddenly becomes restrained.
Originally he could have relied on the spar and it would be enough to survive his old age. Unexpectedly, the eldest son disliked the sudden decline in the quality of life. He, a 71-year-old man, went out to work hard, seeing that he was too old and unable to earn much spar, they wanted to make a fortune by selling him to other bases through his status as a professor of botany.
The old man was heartbroken, and he could only be grateful that the Lucheng base was a well-known base, and would not be harsh on outsiders like him, so he was afraid that he would be forced to death by his eldest son’s family sooner or later.
However the eldest son’s family was raised by him, and he was reluctant to go to work at the beginning. They were all raised by his old father. If it weren’t for his two grandsons and his wife’s temporary will, he wouldn’t have taken good care of them. The children and the younger son died in the last few years as a soldier, leaving only the elder son’s family, his last relatives, he has been cruel, but he did not expect to raise such a white-eyed wolf.
Now he can’t keep the books his friends have asked him to keep.
The two grandsons are still arguing. Fairer skin is considered rare in the last days, and the eldest son and daughter-in-law’s family all of them have fair skin. Although it’s impossible to gain weight in the last few days, it is not that. For a scrawny person struggling with food and clothing, they seem to be living well.
On the contrary, Mr. Ren is still wearing clothes from more than a decade ago, the lines are all open, and the rough and crooked needles and threads seem to be stitched up by himself.
The grandson shouted in a harsh voice: “I want to eat steamed stuffed buns. I’ve been tired of eating dry whole grain cakes, so I will sell the book quickly, or I will let my father throw you away.”
The people around us gave contemptuous glances, even if it is difficult to survive in the last days, it is instinctively disgusting to expose the ugly human nature like this.
The eldest daughter-in-law noticed the unhappiness of the people around her, she covered her son’s mouth and said: “How can we not support grandpa, you see that we are all filial, we have raised him until he is more than 70 years old, and we will raise him till he reaches his final days. How difficult it is for the elderly…”
The people around him withdrew their gazes, and many people nodded secretly. It is already very filial to be able to raise a useless old man in the last days and to be able to live does not require so much.
The eldest daughter-in-law curled her lips and smirked, followed her husband, and stared at Elder Ren, waiting for the old man to sell the useless books and make a small sum of money to splurge on the new base.
Mr. Ren wiped his tears and handed the book that the friend had ordered him before his disappearance to Song Xiaoli, a staff member of the base, and said hoarsely: “This is a research transcript left by my friend during his lifetime. He was once a talented Professor. He follows the Antarctic expedition to study the meteorite that hit almost the largest iceberg in Antarctica. He also compiled the results of the study and sent it to me. He wanted me to help publish it. Unfortunately, the end of the world came before it was too late. He was also missing. I had to keep his relics until now.”
“The zombie virus of this apocalyptic crisis originated from an iceberg that fell from a meteorite in Antarctica. The name of this book is ‘Antarctic Iceberg Meteorite Research Material of Human Evolution’ and the author is Wenfeng Chen.”
Song Xiaoli accepted the book. Seeing the cover’s title, she thought that Commander Si asked her to search for books about zombie viruses, and left a large amount of spar. This old man’s book happened to be what the Commander wanted.
Seeing the old man’s nostalgia for this book, plus the fact that this book has been well preserved after more than 20 years, the old man also cherishes the book very much.
Song Xiaoli called the shots and referred to the spar for the elderly as a third-order spar, which was enough for the elderly to buy some medicine for a whole year without worrying about food and clothing.
But when Song Xiaoli handed the spar to the old man, it was snatched by his elder son. When he saw a broken book sold to the third-order spar, the eldest son’s family was overjoyed.
Song Xiaoli frowned, turned her head to look at the elder Ren who had been reluctant to leave, and asked, “Excuse me, do you have anything else?”
Old Ren shook his head and looked tiredly at the eldest son’s family who was leaving with the spar.
He originally wanted to redeem his friend’s book after earning a spar, but he didn’t expect the people from the Lucheng base to be so generous and pay the price of a third-order spar. He was in his seventies, old and sick. The old man is exhausted, unable to earn a Tier 3 spar, and can’t get his friend’s book…
Old Ren sighed, feeling that this is all fate—
Just like the original friend Chen Wenfeng, the young Zhengmao ran to Antarctica for scientific research. He thought he had discovered a new substance of human evolution, but he did not expect to become the victim of the first wave of people exposed to zombie viruses. Life and death are difficult to distinguish.
Inside the base.
After the zombie snake was killed, the wounded were taken to treatment.
Si Huaixi stopped and went to a remote and dirty corner by the river.
Due to the black rain in the past few days, the river water rose, and the water surface showed a strange black-gray color, with a rancid smell.
Si Huaixi’s cold sea-blue eyes stared sharply at the seemingly calm water surface, squatting down and reaching out to touch the water surface, but was disturbed by someone.
Chen Wen’s eyes were gloomy, and he smiled gently on the surface and said kindly: “Commander, I will be responsible for the rest. Chief Cao is looking for you.”
Si Huaixi nodded and looked at Chen Wen, the head of the logistics department of the base with a kind smile on his face.
He is a level 7 water system ability player. He came to the base a few years ago. He has a gentle personality, friendly and tolerant. As a water system ability player, he often uses abilities, taking out water for free and giving it to ordinary people in the base who don’t have water.
One must know that even water is a precious resource in the last days. Some rivers and wells may have zombie viruses. Ordinary people may be infected with zombie viruses if they drink it. Therefore, the safest and drinkable water is the water taken out by the water system ability users.
Ordinary people at the Lucheng base are very grateful to this kind-hearted water system supernatural player. Chen Wen’s reputation at the base is very good. Later, he was appreciated by Chief Cao who asked him to be in charge of the logistics department of the base and manage many materials in the Lucheng base. An important position, and the person was also trustworthy.
Si Huaixi got up and said, “There are a few corpses at the bottom of the river. Go and check who is missing in the base.”
Chen Wen showed surprise: “Could it be that zombie snakes killed people?”
Si Huaixi’s eyes were deep: “Not sure, I used mental power to detect the bite wounds on the corpse, but a large amount of black rain flowed into the river a few days ago, and the acid inside corroded the wounds of the corpse. I can’t distinguish whether it was a zombie bite by a snake or a sneaking zombie… In either case, you need to be alert. Immediately and quickly repair the iron net in the river, and don’t let other zombies sneak into the base again!”
Chen Wen replied solemnly: “Yes, I will send someone to deal with it immediately.”
After waiting for a while, Si Huaixi didn’t seem to leave, his eyes staying on the surface of the river, seeming to be confused.
Chen Wen’s smile became stiff, and he urged: “Are there any more instructions from the commander?”
It’s too early. Si Huaixi hasn’t returned to the base for a long time. Chief Cao should have something to look for, so he tightened his brows and said, “There is a corpse at the bottom of the river that is very strange. It’s still well preserved…”
The cold light in Chen Wen’s shone. He raised his head and his expression became innocent and suspicious, and then cautiously guessed: “Will it be the supernatural power who died unexpectedly? Rain cannot corrode his body.”
Si Huaixi frowned slightly: “The corpse had no obvious wounds, and the cause of death is unknown. It was not killed by a zombie snake, but it accidentally fell into the river…”
Chen Wen deliberately led the topic: “Is it a vendetta?”
Si Huaixi pursed his lower lip, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he did not give a better explanation. After careful consideration, he said: “Minister Chen, please find the missing person, investigate the cause of his death, and hand over the report afterward. I have to go.”
Chen Wen: “Good.”
A long time after Si Huaixi left.
Chen Wen’s expression suddenly changed, and his eyes were cold and cursed at the bottom of the river, “Idiot. If he finds out, you will die.”
Only the silent water surface responded to him.
The slowly flowing river water gave people a strange peace, and even the blood that surfaced on the water soon washed away with the current without a trace.
TL/n- The currency that these people use during the last days is Zombie crystals (or spar). Just know that spar is the currency (which actually is a zombie crystal obtained after killing zombies).
