Chapter 511 Sea Base

Dahai Base, Central Meeting Room.

"Everyone, please speak freely."

Looking at the people in front of him, Yao Hai's tone was a little tired.

There are currently 1,037 people in the Dahai Base, and everyone obeys Yao Hai's orders. He is the well-deserved local emperor here.

But at this time, he no longer has the high spirits when the base was first established. He even wants to abdicate and let whoever is capable take over!

Su Jie next to him seemed to feel his thoughts and immediately held his hand.

Looking at Su Jie's encouraging eyes, Yao Hai sighed again in his heart.

If someone can lead the base, he really doesn't mind giving up his power, but unfortunately no one can do it!

"General, can we discuss with Zou Jian and borrow some food from the Mammoth Base? After the winter is over, we will hunt and return it to them, even if we pay more interest..."

At this time, someone spoke up.

Others also looked at Yao Hai.

"No."

But Yao Hai shook his head directly.

Seeing the disappointed look in everyone's eyes, he explained:

"Let's not talk about whether the other party is willing to lend us food. Even if they really lend us food, we can't do it with food alone..."

Hearing Yao Hai's words, everyone's face suddenly became a little nervous.

"General, could it be that..."

"Yes, those passages can't block for long. About three days later, we will have to face a wave of zombies. We can't retreat this time. After all, the space inside the air-raid shelter is limited. If we retreat again, there will be no place to live. We have to deal with this group of zombies and block the passage again..."

Yao Hai sighed.

"This..."

Everyone looked at each other, their faces were ugly, and they even regretted why they set the base here. If the base was in other places, there would be no such "surprise"... But think about it carefully, Yao Hai asked for their opinions at the time, and they voted unanimously.

Everyone fell into silence.

Seeing the regretful look on everyone's face, Yao Hai also regretted it to some extent.

When they accidentally found this air-raid shelter during the move, they were very excited and felt that this was a natural base.

This air-raid shelter is very large, and the passages inside are very developed, like an underground maze. This is naturally a good thing for them, and they wish the base was as big as possible.

But soon they didn't think so, because they found that there were zombies in this "underground maze"!

Except for the entrance they found and some areas inside, there were zombies in other passages!

Fortunately, there are doors in each passage of this air-raid shelter, and those zombies are isolated outside. As long as the door is not opened, it will be no problem to block the zombies with this reinforced concrete door.

But they underestimated those zombies. After finding food, the destructive power of these zombies is terrible. And these zombies are very strong, and the people in the base may not be opponents.

Seeing that the door was about to be breached, Yao Hai took action in time.

He had awakened the earth ability before, and could create a rock and soil wall comparable to steel. He directly blocked the zombies with the rock and soil wall.

Yao Hai's rock and soil wall not only has high defense, but most importantly, as long as he is within a certain range of the rock and soil wall he made, he can sense the quality of the rock and soil wall and judge whether zombies are coming.

It is equivalent to a human radar!

Then the task of blocking the zombies is none other than him.

Of course, he also knows that this is only a temporary solution, either to deal with these zombies or move.

It is unlikely to solve the zombies. If he could solve them, he would have solved them long ago.

And moving is even more impossible, because not long after he moved here, it suddenly snowed heavily and the temperature outside dropped sharply. He might be fine if he went out, but other survivors would definitely be frozen to death.

Fortunately, his rock and soil wall did block the zombies and was safe for the time being. Yao Hai decided to wait until the winter was over, and then he would see whether to find a way to deal with the zombies or move again.

But this winter was much harder than he imagined, and the zombies blocked by the rock and soil wall did not give up. They were still tirelessly consuming the rock and soil wall!

Yao Hai was not sure he could deal with the zombies, so he could only constantly reinforce the rock and soil walls.

A few days ago, a group of zombies came to the entrance of their base, and they seemed to be preparing to build a nest here.

Yao Hai certainly did not allow zombies to build a nest at the door of his house, otherwise they would not be able to get out.

After evaluating the strength of these zombies in his mind, he felt that he could solve it by taking some people with him, so he went out to fight.

As luck would have it, when they were fighting outside, the rock and soil wall in a passage was broken through. A large number of zombies rushed directly into their base!

Yao Hai was panicked at the time. He thought the base was about to be destroyed, but fortunately there was his wife Su Jie.

Su Jie's combat effectiveness was not good, but her mind was flexible. Yao Hai could lead so many people, and many rules and regulations were formulated by Su Jie. Su Jie organized people and used the special terrain of the air-raid shelter to resist the attack of the zombies with difficulty.

When Yao Hai came back from the battle outside, he found that only more than 100 people died. For a situation like the zombies inside the base, more than 100 deaths were not a lot. He had seen too many bases wiped out by a zombie.

In the end, Yao Hai killed all the zombies and blocked the passage again. Fortunately, the zombies in the passage did not come in a swarm, but in waves. It gave him a chance to breathe, otherwise he would probably not be able to stop them.

However, it was precisely because of this battle that Yao Hai briefly entered the passage. In addition to seeing many zombies, he also saw some instruments for unknown purposes.

Their sea base was currently short of resources. With the idea that everything had come, he took the risk to get these instruments back, and then continued to block the passage with a rock and soil wall.

He didn't understand these electronic products, but there were survivors at the base who did, and the survivors discovered that they were military wire-free equipment. After some tinkering, they were finally able to contact other people!

But the radio signal was not very good. Intermittently, the only thing I could hear was that the other party seemed to be some kind of Changhe base. He asked the other party for help, whether it would be useful or not, give it a try first. But before he finished speaking, the signal was completely cut off...

The survivor who controlled the radio said that he could repair it, which reassured Yao Hai that it would only take one night and he would be able to contact the Changhe base again. As a result, the instrument was completely scrapped the next day...

This made Yao Hai feel very uncomfortable.

In fact, Yao Hai did not have any expectations for this Changhe base. Having lived in the apocalypse for so long, what kind of situation has he not seen before? To put it bluntly, even if the Changhe base is really kind and willing to come to rescue them, in this icy and snowy environment, there are still frozen zombies, flying zombies, etc., whoever comes will die!

He just wanted to leave some hope to other survivors in the base.

People can survive only if they have hope. He can lead so many people by making the survivors feel that there is hope for survival by following him.

But unfortunately, God doesn't seem to want to give them this hope...

Of course, this "little hope" is not what he should consider at the moment. What he needs to consider now is how to overcome the difficulties at hand.

Their food can last for ten days at most, but looking at the current weather, it is obviously impossible to get warmer in ten days, so food is a big problem.

Moreover, the rock and soil wall in one of the passages in their base is almost exhausted. If he continues to reinforce it, it will be reinforced to the activity space in the base.

They can't go out now. There's only so much space in the base, so use less. Therefore, we can no longer reinforce it. We must deal with these zombies while we still have food and strength. Then go back to the end of that passage and build the geotechnical wall...

In addition to these problems, there is currently a bigger problem - Mammoth Base has given an ultimatum, whether to wait for death or merge into Mammoth Base, it only takes Yao Hai's thought!

Mammoth Base is a neighbor of the Sea Base, but their base is not a bomb shelter, but in a dark crevice.

Yao Hai only learned about Mammoth Base after moving to this air raid shelter. It was Zou Jian who came here.

Although Zou Jian is only a third-level superpower, he has integrated many ice-attribute defensive crystal cores and can travel through such ice and snow, so he is the spokesperson of Mammoth Base.

At that time, Zou Jian promised various benefits and wanted Yao Hai to join Mammoth Base with Dahai Base.

To be honest, Yao Hai was really tempted at the time.

Because he is really not good at leading a team, the fact that he can make the team so big is mainly due to his wife Su Jie. He does whatever Su Jie asks him to do. Unknowingly, he gathered a team of a thousand people, and everyone obeyed his instructions. It was like everyone else called him general, which was also the rule set by Su Jie...

One decision of his can affect the life and death of thousands of people. Some people may like this feeling, but he doesn't like it. He just feels too much pressure!

Therefore, he felt that it would be a good choice for them all to merge into Mammoth Base.

However, when discussing with Su Jie, Su Jie told him not to make a decision so quickly, but to go to Mammoth Base for inspection first. No matter how good Zou Jian's words are, if you don't see it, it's all false. What if the other party is a trap? They have encountered such things many times before.

Yao Hai felt that his wife's words made sense, so he expressed his intention to visit the Mammoth Base.

Zou Jian also agreed immediately.

So, Yao Hai took the other two Awakeners and Su Jie to the Mammoth Base.

There are four awakened ones in the sea base, and these four are naturally the base's highest combat power. If one person is left to look after the house and the three awakened people go out together, safety is still guaranteed.

After arriving at Mammoth Base, Yao Hai discovered that Mammoth Base was actually in a dark crack!

He had seen these cracks before, and he thought they were some kind of abyss, but he didn't expect that people could live in them.

I have to say, this location is really good!

The black fog above the head blocks the sight of the flying zombies. The temperature below is also higher than outside. The zombies don't seem to come to this place specially. Although it is a bit dark here, more torches can be used for both lighting and warmth. ...This is a great place to build a base!

Unfortunately, although this crack is large, there is some slope here at Mammoth Base, so you can go down. The rest of the place is like a cliff, with no way to get down.

The Mammoth Base also received Yao Hai grandly, allowing Yao Hai to see their strength. The total population of Mammoth Base is three thousand, and there are seven awakened ones! This strength is much stronger than the sea base.

However, as the people from the Mammoth Base took them on a tour, Yao Hai slowly discovered that something was wrong.

Although the population of Mammoth Base is large, many of their people live like zombies. If you don't pay attention, you might think they are zombies.

These people are alive, but only alive.

Mammoth Base did not hide it. They told Yao Hai that when survivors come to their base and accept the food and living space they provide, the lives of the survivors no longer belong to them, but belong to them and are theirs. Private property!

Private property is a nice way of saying it, but to put it more bluntly, it's actually a slave.

They can ask these survivors to do anything, and the survivors have no right to refuse!

Seeing this, Yao Hai was unwilling to let his base be merged here.

Although Mammoth Base stated that Yao Hai must also be the owner and would not harm Yao Hai's interests.

But if Yao Hai had thought about the addiction to being a local emperor, he would have passed it long ago. He is really indifferent to these things, even disgusted with them.

But Yao Hai is a person with no independent opinions. After all, the people in their base are almost dying. What if the survivors are willing?

So Yao Hai did not leave in a hurry, but continued to visit.

Then he discovered something that was even more difficult for him to accept——

It is not necessarily safe inside this crack, and the area outside the base is very dangerous. Mammoth Base allows these survivors to mine, work, and even explore the depths!

Forget about mining, it will be tiring at most, but exploration will kill people, and looking at the data given by the Mammoth Base, the mortality rate is extremely high!

Yao Hai felt that joining the Mammoth Base for survivors was equivalent to being tortured and sent to death... It would be better to die early.

In addition, Su Jie next to him kept hinting that he refused, so Yao Hai refused.

The people at Mammoth Base didn't say much. They just said to give Yao Hai time to think about it. Anyway, their base has always been here and has always been open to the sea base.

After that, Zou Jian ran to Dahai Base from time to time.

Although Yao Hai dislikes Mammoth Base, there is currently no conflict between the two. Therefore, in order to prevent Zou Jian from freezing to death outside, he ordered that if Zou Jian comes alone, he will be let in.

So Zou Jian has become a frequent visitor here.

But now, Zou Jian has forced Yao Hai to make a choice on behalf of Mammoth Base.

Yao Hai is unwilling, but after all, it is the lives of more than a thousand people...

"How about we merge into Mammoth Base?"

At this time, someone finally spoke.

"You know what that means."

Yao Hai's face didn't look good.

Ordinary survivors may not know much about Mammoth Base. They only know that they may do hard work after going there, but they, the leaders, know that ordinary survivors will most likely die if they go there.

"But we have no choice... Moreover, after you go, General, your status will be extraordinary..."

Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.

Zou Jian said that if they go with Yao Hai, it is impossible for them to be slaves, and they can even live better than now! After all, Yao Hai has formulated too many rules and regulations, which places great restrictions on them. But over there, the master can do whatever he wants to the slave...

If they really go, it would be equivalent to exchanging the interests of ordinary survivors for their interests. Although it sounds a bit disgraceful, there is a saying that they have done their best to these survivors, and it is their turn to repay them, right?

Boom, boom, boom!

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door of the conference room.

"Enter."

After Yao Hai's voice fell, a figure ran in impatiently.

"General, it's not good! There is an eagle with a huge size and terrifying momentum hovering above our heads! It feels like we are being targeted!"

"..."

It’s over!

Hearing this, everyone's hearts suddenly became cold.

When they were fleeing for their lives before, they had seen the terror of flying mutant beasts, especially raptors, and they were very vengeful! If they are targeted by that thing, they can't even think about getting out. They will die if they show up!

If you can't get out, how can you merge into Mammoth Base... The last hope seems to be gone... Liangliang!
