Chapter 154 - 154

Chapter 154 StrangeCalm returned to the base, and the next day, Base Chief Chen Chao issued a mission to hunt down the zombies around the base.In the second year of the apocalypse, refugees continued to arrive at the base seeking help, making the already adequate housing even more crowded.Base Chief Chen Chao officially appointedZhang Renli as the new head of Southern Safety Base. After discussion, the Deputy Base Commander decided to expand the base beyond its existing structure.In order to accommodate more disaster victims, all available laborers at the base were mobilized.Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his brow. "I'm not exaggerating! I feel like I've become a professional architect now!"Hahahaha!Luo Chun carried a large bag of cement and placed it on the ground. " Lin Yu, that's great! When we recover, the city's reconstruction will all depend on you!""Hahaha! You flatter me, Uncle Luo. We'll have to rely on you guys then! I'm just an assistant!"Father Lin leaned back in his tractor seat. "Alright! Stop joking! Move aside, I'm going to dig!"The group, who were all feeling tired, were occasionally amused by their antics, so they weren't too exhausted.They get to open blind boxes for their lunch every day, which is such a blessing for them!Sometimes it's mala tang (spicy hot pot), chicken leg rice bowl, sweet and sour pork rice bowl, stir-fried pork with chili peppers rice bowl...Their mouths were practically watering; they would never give up such a lucrative job to eat cornbread!"Everyone! Dinner's here! Let's eat!"Lin Anran opened the trunk of the van, and the aroma of meat wafted through the lunchbox.What are we eating today?"Whatever he eats, I don't care!""Wow! It's curry rice! Ah~ It smells so good! Ouch! It's so hot! It's so hot!"" Ranran! Thank you so much! You made so much delicious food for everyone! You're practically our god!""Mmm! This is so delicious! Ranran, you're so generous! You've used up all this meat to cook for us!""Yes! And the craftsmanship is amazing! I feel like I'm in heaven!""..."Lin Anran touched her chin. Luckily, she had stocked up on a warehouse full of instant food, so she wasn't worried about them eating it. But this praise was too embarrassing!"You're welcome! It's what I should do! Everyone, please eat! Thank you for your hard work!"Looking at her older sister's affected expression, Lin Yu couldn't help but mutter under her breath, "You should all be grateful that your older sister didn't cook, or she would have scared you to death!"After receiving a cold glare, Lin Yu buried her head in her rice, pretending to be nonchalant as she ate.Damn bloodline suppression!After the meal, the teams that went out to find supplies gradually returned.Xie Nan complained, "What's going on these past few days? We haven't seen a single zombie since we went out. How are we supposed to meet our KPIs?!"Bo Cheng sighed as well, "Yeah! It's so boring, I always come back empty-handed!"The other team, who were also out on a mission, joined in. "You guys too? Holy crap! Did we get lost in a maze? This is so weird!""We also noticed something strange after we went out. Usually, even if no one goes out, there are usually two or three zombies wandering around nearby. This time, we circled the base for a long time and didn't see a single zombie. Isn't that strange?""We're the same! I'm starting to suspect that those zombies planned this all along, deliberately hiding from us! That's so cunning!""..."Everyone was horrified. Zombies could hide on their own? That sounded absolutely terrifying!Lin Anran thought for a moment, "Are there more high-level zombies around us?"Like a thunderclap out of nowhere! It blew everyone's appetite away!Advanced zombies are essentially miniatureZombie Kings; they possess consciousness, can be uncontrollable, and even have their own mini-leaders."No, no way! How come there are so many powerful people in the base? If they really are high-level zombies, they should be avoiding us!"The man's voice became increasingly less confident. Although he wasn't the strongest, these people were truly powerful figures!"I think so too! If it really is an advanced zombie, what is its purpose? Is it to attack our base?""Don't say that! It's really not certain. Judging from this trend, it might even gather into a massive zombie horde! That's terrifying!"Lin Anran watched as everyone offered their differing opinions and felt a mix of emotions.That's so imaginative! She just mentioned it casually, and everyone reacted so strongly.Base Chief Chen Chao began with empty rhetoric, "Don't worry, everyone! I will personally investigate this matter! I will absolutely guarantee everyone's safety.""That's great! Base Commander is so reliable! Now we can eat without worry!""Yes! Yes! Oh dear! My meat's getting cold! Eat up!"Base Chief Chen Chao was speechless. So, everyone isn't worried at all, is that right?Lin Anran stood up, dusted himself off, and said, " Uncle Chen, you guys eat first. A-Nian and I will go out and take a look!""I'll go with you!"Base Chief Chen Chao put down his bowl; asBase Commander, there were some things he had to do personally."No need! We're both at Supernatural AbilityLevel 9 now, we can protect ourselves, so you don't need to worry.""Ah! Good, level nine, not bad... Wait! Level nine?!?"Base Chief Chen Chao's mouth gaped open like an egg. "Then...then you guys go! Be careful on the road."A bomb not only stunned Base Chief Chen Chao, but also left everyone speechless!Level nine! That's level nine!They never even dared to dream of such a thing, and now they finally understood why this family usually lived such a carefree life!We can walk on flat ground outside like this! Who's afraid of those high-level zombies!"Mom! This is clearly a big shot! We actually made a big shot cook for us! We're just... so shameless! I have to eat more!""Mmm~ The food tastes even better now! I'm going to cling to your coattails now, and none of you are allowed to bully my big sister from now on!""Me too! Me too!"Lin Yu felt very proud to see everyone becoming fans of her older sister.That's his sister! Hmm~ Not bad! Everyone here has good taste!As Lin Anran left the base, he couldn't help but sneeze twice. "Who's talking about me behind my back again!"Jiang Qinian silently draped her coat over Lin Anran's shoulders."I can feel it! It's the Zombie King again! It came back with us."Lin Anran looked puzzled. Wasn't that zombie scared away? Why is it still following us? Is it trying to ambush us? That would be too stupid!"It's been following us the whole time? Why didn't you tell me?"Jiang Qinian stroked the fluffy head. "It wants us to take it in! It'll help us deal with the zombies around here."???Take him in? Deal with the zombies?"Why is he so perceptive?"
