Chapter 278 New Population
“It's raining hard again…”
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Wang Tao turned back to He Jijun and said:
“Lao He, can you fly the 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 still fly. However, He Jijun continued, "But the helicopters have been used a lot recently. Due to corrosion and acid rain, many parts have been replaced. There are not many parts in the base..."
“In other words, helicopters can no longer be used frequently?”
Wang Tao frowned.
“Well, if there is too much corrosive acid rain, the plane will definitely have problems... Unless the weather clears up.”
He Jijun was a little helpless.
“Well, there's nothing we can do about it. I can only ask Mr. He to worry more and pay more attention...”
Wang Tao shook his head.
Now we have to use planes. If we drive to Zijing City, how long will it take? Besides, the ground is full of zombies, so we won't be able to get through.
Wang Tao is going to visit the Bauhinia Base today.
Yesterday, Lan Yulian said that there were suspected fourth-level zombies over there, and Wang Tao had to go and see what was going on. If it were really a fourth-level zombie, then Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng might be in danger.
As for the candidates to go out this time, He Jijun will naturally go. Although Wang Tao has learned how to fly a helicopter, he doesn't dare to fly it even in normal weather, let alone such extreme weather.
Then there are Jiang Shixue, Xu Xiaojun and Lightning.
Wang Tao doesn't plan to bring too many people. If there is any irresistible danger, having more people may not necessarily be good. After all, the helicopter only has such a large space.
“Wang Tao, be careful!”
Ding Yuqin tidied Wang Tao's clothes with some reluctance.
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 was very sensible and didn't say much.
“Sister-in-law, don't worry.”
Wang Tao patted her hand and then said.
"I may stay there for two days. After all, level 4 zombies may not be so easy to find. I will let Changhong and the others take you to hunt zombies in the past two days, and you can just follow behind and hit the target. There are still many around our base. There should be enough zombies for you to kill."
Ding Yuqin and the others' blood volume has only been 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. With less than 100,000 blood volume, they will not be able to participate in Wang Tao's current actions.
“Well! I will seize the time to improve my strength!”
Ding Yuqin nodded.
When she was at the Shuizhe base, she basically never went out, and she didn't hunt zombies much, so her strength was very weak.
Later, she felt that she was of no help to Wang Tao and was probably just a vase, so she began to try to hunt zombies.
Now that she has lived a wandering life in the apocalypse for such a long time, her fighting ability is not to say how strong it is, but it is at least above the average level of a superpower user, which is considered very good.
Wang Tao looked at Han Rui next to him.
"The same to you."
“Don't worry! With your help, my strength will definitely improve very quickly!”
Han Rui patted her chest confidently.
She is a relatively strong woman, and she is not willing to hold back Wang Tao.
"very good."
Wang Tao went to explain a few more words to the others and then got on the helicopter.
Hum—
With a roar, the helicopter left the military base.
“It feels like there are more and more zombies...”
Looking at the zombies attracted by the plane below, Wang Tao felt helpless.
Let's not talk about the zombies in the urban area, but let's talk about the zombies outside the urban area. If all the zombies go to the military base, it will also be a big challenge to the base!
Military bases naturally cannot be defended. The Bauhinia Base doesn't seem to work well...Wang Tao is a little confused now and doesn't know where to go.
The speed of the helicopter was much slower than that of the previous fixed-wing transport aircraft, and it took some more time to arrive at Zijing City.
“Ho ho…”
"Roar-"
The helicopter flew over the zombies and immediately attracted the attention of countless zombies. They ran under the helicopter and quickly disrupted the formation of the zombies.
Wang Tao was alert and observed what was going on below. The fourth-level zombies are so powerful that they can even knock down helicopters. Wang Tao has to be on guard at all times.
Fortunately, we didn't encounter any danger until we flew over the Zijing City base.
Wang Tao contacted Lan Yulian.
“Wang Tao, is that you? Are you on that helicopter!”
Before Wang Tao could speak, he heard Lan Yulian's voice of surprise.
“It's me, clear a flat place for me to land.”
Zijing base is very big, but there are also a lot of people. Wang Tao was afraid that someone would get in the way because he was excited or curious.
"good!"
Lan Yulian quickly cleared an open space, which was at the entrance of a large warehouse. There were vehicles and people waiting next to it.
When the helicopter landed and Wang Tao and others stepped out of the plane, someone immediately pulled the helicopter into the large warehouse with a car. Lan Yulian was very considerate.
“Wang Tao!”
As soon as Wang Tao got off the plane, Lan Yulian rushed over excitedly. Wang Tao stroked her hair and said:
“I haven't seen her for two months, but she's still so beautiful!”
Among the women around Wang Tao, apart from Jiang Shixue, Lan Yulian is the one who takes the best care of herself.
Jiang Shixue is because of her special physique that no one can compare to. Lan Yulian, because she is the leader of a force, usually does not go out to search for supplies, and she is also a wet nurse, so she can keep herself in good condition at all times.
Hearing Wang Tao's praise, Lan Yulian was very pleased. She stepped on her feet and kissed Wang Tao on the cheek, then let go of Wang Tao and hugged Jiang Shixue beside her.
“Xiaoxue! I miss you so much!”
Jiang Shixue was a little embarrassed, but she also reached out and hugged Lan Yulian. She knew that Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng both liked her very much.
Wang Tao hugged Lu Yingfeng. Lu Yingfeng was a little embarrassed, her face turned red.
Wang Tao pinched her face, then smiled and said:
“Let's go.”
“Hmm~”
The group returned to the central area of the base, and Wang Tao introduced Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng and He Jijun to each other.
Lan Yulian then discovered that Wang Tao was also bringing a dog.
“Huh? What's its name?”
Lan Yulian asked curiously.
“Lightning. Everyone in the entire military base is gone, only it is left..."
Wang Tao gave a brief explanation.
The reason he brought Lightning was because he didn't know how to advance with Lightning, so he took it out for a walk more often, and maybe he could find a way to advance.
"Small poor…"
Lan Yulian had a motherly love attack, and she hugged Lightning and ravaged her fiercely. Then she talked about the suspected fourth-level zombie in detail.
"Recently, there have been a total of 4 third-level lord zombies around our base. But now these 4 lord zombies are all dead. It should be what happened last night. After all, I saw these zombies during the day yesterday. These few Only the lord's zombies were torn to pieces and died among the zombies..."
Lan Yulian took out a mobile phone and took photos on it.
Although it's not too clear, you can probably see that these zombies died miserably.
Just looking at the corpse, there is no way to tell what happened. Wang Tao also felt that it was a fourth-level zombie who did it.
The difference in strength between the third-level lord zombies is not too big, so this should not happen.
“Did you hear anything?”
Wang Tao asked.
"There doesn't seem to be anything going on...I've checked, and no one at the base heard it, including those on duty."
“Is there no movement at all?”
"No..." Lan Yulian shook her head, and then seemed to think of something, and said quickly, "Oh, by the way, these four lord zombies all died in the same place, so I said they were killed at the same time."
“These four zombies were together before?”
“No, they were in different directions before…”
“Then that's strange…”
Wang Tao frowned. These four third-level lord zombies were not together before. Last night they suddenly got together and were brutally killed. But there was no movement... It's not that the fourth-level zombies can't do this, but that the zombies also know how to work in secret? Or is it that this fourth-level zombie's methods were so strange that these zombies didn't make any noise before they died?
"What I'm worried about is...if this is a level four zombie that's good at concealment or sneak attacks, it would be very dangerous!"
Lu Yingfeng suddenly spoke.
Wang Tao nodded. This is also what worries him. A fourth-level zombie may not be scary, but if it is a fourth-level zombie that is good at concealment and sneak attacks... it would be terrible!
“By the way, have you picked up the cores of these third-level lord zombies? What kind of cores are they?”
The strength of these zombies can be inferred from these crystal nuclei.
"No, after we found out that these zombies were dead, we had people take concealment potions to take a look secretly, but nothing was found. Their crystal cores were gone. There were so many zombies around, maybe they were kicked by the zombies. where it goes…"
Lan Yulian said with some regret.
After all, it is the crystal core of the third-level lord zombie, so it is still very valuable.
"Well, tonight, I'll go out and see what's going on."
Wang Tao thought for a while and said.
Just analyzing it here is useless, you have to go and see it.
"me and you togather!"
Lan Yulian immediately raised her hand, but was pressed down by Wang Tao.
“Are you going to be my tow bottle?”
Lan Yulian pretended to be angry, but Wang Tao obviously didn't accept this. He pinched her little face and said:
"Don't you all go out at night, only Xiaoxue and I will go out."
Others cannot see at night and are really useless at night.
"All right."
Lan Yulian has arranged for someone to observe the surrounding activities, but nothing has been discovered for the time being. Wang Tao and Lan Yulian walked around the base and got to know the situation of the base.
I have to say that Lan Yulian does have management talents.
After she brought all the survivors of Zijing City to this base, she managed it in an orderly manner, and basically there was no trouble. Before the zombie wave arrived, it was a prosperous scene.
It was only then that Wang Tao knew that the group of survivors from Duzhu Town had indeed come to Zijing City, and they were all accepted by Lan Yulian.
The original Bauhinia base had nearly 10,000 people. Later, the owner changed hands, and after Lan Yulian got everyone else in Zijing City over, 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 reaches 20,000.
“To be precise, there are 21,944 people—oh no, a new baby was born in the base yesterday, and now the number is 21,945!”
Lan Yulian said to Wang Tao with some pride.
“Oh? There is also a new population?”
Wang Tao was a little surprised.
In the apocalypse, it is already difficult to survive on your own. Most people would not choose to have children. No one wants their children to suffer in this world.
Wang Tao himself thinks the same way. He has no idea of having children now. But then again, Wang Tao has been in contact with many women, and sometimes he does not prepare safety measures, but he has never been tricked once...
“Is there something wrong with me?”
Wang Tao suddenly doubted himself.
After all, if a boy and a girl can't have a baby, then both parties may have a problem, but if a boy and a girl can't have a baby, then it's 100% the boy's fault…
Shaking his head, Wang Tao quickly got rid of this idea. Children and other things are too far away from him and are not something he can consider now.
Lan Yulian naturally didn't know that Wang Tao was thinking so much at this moment. When she heard that Wang Tao was surprised by the new population, she said proudly:
"Well, before I took over this base, the birth rate here was almost zero—no one wanted to give birth, and no one dared to give birth. But in the two months since I took over, there have been more than twenty newborns. But unfortunately, several babies died in infancy..."
Lan Yulian sighed.
The current medical conditions are not good, and newborns are very fragile and will die if they are not careful. Lan Yulian was the first to see her child who died, and she was sad for most of a month...
But Lan Yulian quickly raised her head and said with a smile:
“New life represents hope! If a base has no newborns, it is doomed to destruction, and our Bauhinia Base already has nearly thirty newborns. I believe our base will survive forever!”
Looking at Lan Yulian whose face seemed to be radiating light, Wang Tao suddenly couldn't bear to hit her.
But Wang Tao also has the responsibility to tell Lan Yulian about the current situation.
"Yulian, I think you are great, and I am ashamed of myself. But I have to tell you that the current situation is... very difficult."
Wang Tao looked at her seriously.
Lan Yulian was a little panicked when Wang Tao saw her, and she subconsciously said:
"It's just a zombie wave! Our base can stop it for the time being! And we still have you! You're already at level 4, you're so strong...you should be able to protect us, right?"
At the end of the story, Lan Yulian's tone suddenly weakened.
Asking Wang Tao to protect the Bauhinia Base means asking Wang Tao to take a lot of risks. She wanted to protect the people in the base, but she also didn't want to let Wang Tao get hurt...
Seeing Lan Yulian's appearance, Wang Tao stroked her face.
"Of course I will protect you and protect you. But you have never seen those powerful fourth-level zombies, the 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 talked to Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng about the situation in Wuyang City. When they heard Wang Tao introduce this kind of giant zombie that can bring down a plane, their eyes were horrified, and then they fell into silence.
"And let me tell you another bad news. Before we contacted you, we also contacted a base. They were also trapped by the zombie tide. When we were preparing to support them, their base fell and was easily killed by giant zombies. Breached…”
"how come…"
If the giant zombies did not attack the human survivor base, Lan Yulian might still have some luck, but now there is an example here, and her last trace of luck is gone.
But Wang Tao was not going to let her go yet, so he continued to say:
“When I was flying a military transport plane before, I encountered a giant zombie. The giant zombie was not in the city, but followed the zombie tide and headed east.”
To the east of Wuyang City...is Zijing City!
Lan Yulian suddenly felt cold all over, as if she had lost all her strength.
Wang Tao put his arms around her.
“I'm not trying to hit you, I just think you should know the real situation we are currently in.”
“…Then, if many level 4 zombies or giant zombies really come, what will you do?”
Lan Yulian raised her head, biting her lip and looking at Wang Tao.
“Take you two away. I can only take you two away. After all, I only have one helicopter.”
Wang Tao spoke very calmly.
To be honest, if that happens, even if he leaves, he won't know where to go. He himself is still confused now...
Lan Yulian's eyes suddenly turned red.
She is the leader of the Redbud base, and she does not want to give up these survivors. If she walked away, what was the difference between her and the murderer? But...she really can't do anything! How could she do what even Wang Tao couldn't do.
"Hey! Don't think so much! This is all Wang Tao's imagination. What if the tide of corpses passes quickly and there is no big danger? You know, no matter what kind of tide it is, it will eventually recede! And even if it is true, If there is a danger, that will happen in the future. Maybe we will have a solution by then!"
He Jijun suddenly spoke.
He felt that everyone's morale was a bit low and needed to improve their morale.
"Haha, yes. What I'm talking about is the worst case scenario. Since the end of the world, I have always been very lucky. I have never encountered any desperate situation. Even if there is a desperate situation, I can always turn it into a safe place... I believe that we are finally It'll be fine!”
Wang Tao laughed, and then kissed Lan Yulian **** the face.
Lan Yulian glared at Wang Tao, but said nothing more.
He Jijun is right. Even if there is real danger, it will be in the future. At least it is safe now, and it is not to the point of having to run away...
“Let me take you to see those newborns.”
Lan Yulian said suddenly.
Wang Tao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"OK."
Lan Yulian took Wang Tao to the hospital at the base.
The conditions of the hospital are very simple, but the space is large and divided into many areas. Maternity mothers are concentrated in one of the areas, with dedicated care and special meals. The treatment given by Lan Yulian was very good.
Wang Tao saw the more than 20 newborns.
Children who are just born are wrinkled and ugly, and they also smell a little bit. 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 face and Lan Yulian's expectant eyes. He shook his head and did not answer.
"Okay, I've seen it. I'll go back and prepare for going out at night."
After Wang Tao finished speaking, he turned around and left without any regret.
Lan Yulian's body stiffened and her face turned pale.
