Chapter 278 New Population
“The rain is heavy again...”
Looking at the heavy rain outside, Wang Tao turned back to He Jijun and said:
“Old He, can we do it today? Flying a plane? "
"It's not a big problem. "As long as there are no extreme weather conditions such as strong winds and lightning, the plane can also be flown. However, He Jijun continued, "But 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, the helicopter 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 we wait for the weather to clear up."
He Jijun was a little helpless.
"Oh, there is no other way. I can only ask Mr. He to worry more and pay more attention..."
Wang Tao shook his head.
Now we have to use airplanes. 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 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, you have to be careful!"
Ding Yuqin tidied Wang Tao's clothes with some reluctance.
She just reunited with Wang Tao. 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.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law."
Wang Tao patted her hand and then said.
“I may stay there for two days, after all, level four zombies may not be so easy to find. I will let Changhong and the others take you to hunt zombies during these two days, and you can just follow behind and hit the target. There are still many zombies around our base, which should be enough for you to kill.”
Ding Yuqin and the others’ health has only been increased to 30,000, and there is still room for growth of 70,000. 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 didn't go 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 might just be 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 very strong, but it is at least above the average level of a superpower, which is considered very good.
Wang Tao looked at Han Rui next to him again.
"You too."
"Don't worry! With your help, my strength will definitely improve quickly!"
Han Rui patted her chest very 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 stepped onto the helicopter.
Buzzing——
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.
Not to mention the zombies in the urban area, if the zombies outside the urban area all go to the military base, it will also be a big challenge to the base!
Of course a military base cannot be defended. The Bauhinia Base doesn't seem to work well either... 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 Bauhinia 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 very 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 did not encounter any danger when we flew over the Bauhinia 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.”
The Bauhinia base is large, but there are also many people. Wang Tao was afraid that someone would get in the way because he was excited or curious.
"Okay!"
Lan Yulian quickly cleared an open space, which was at the entrance of a large warehouse, with 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 is still so beautiful!”
Among the women around Wang Tao, except Jiang Shixue, she is Lan Yulian Best maintained.
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 both Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng liked her very much. she.
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~"
A few people returned to the central area of the base, Wang Tao Lan Yulian, Lu Yingfeng and He Jijun were introduced to each other.
La Yulian then discovered that Wang Tao was also bringing a dog.
"Huh? What's its name!"
Lan Yulian asked curiously.
"Lightning. The entire military base is gone, only it is left..."
Wang Tao explained briefly.
The reason why he brought Lightning was because he didn't know how to advance with Lightning, so he took it out more often, and maybe he could find a way to advance.
"Poor little..."
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 have happened last night. After all, I saw this during the day yesterday. Several zombies. These lord zombies were torn to pieces and died among the zombies..."
Lan Yulian took out a mobile phone with photos taken on it.
Although it's not too clear, you can probably see that these zombies died miserably.
Just looking at the body, 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 investigated and no one at the base heard it, including those on duty."
"Is there no movement at all?"
"No..." Lan Yulian shook her head, then seemed to think of something, and said quickly, "Oh, by the way, these four lord zombies all died in the same place. place, that's why I said they were killed at the same time."
"These four zombies were together before?"
"No, they were in different directions..."< br>
“Then this is 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 said road.
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... that would be terrible!
"By the way, have you picked up the crystal nuclei of these third-order lord zombies? What kind of crystal nuclei 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 asked people to take concealment potions and take a look secretly, but nothing was found. Their crystal nuclei were gone. There were so many zombies around, Maybe he was kicked somewhere by the zombies..."
Lan Yulian said with some pity.
After all, it is the crystal core of a 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.
It’s useless to just analyze it here, you have to go and take a look.
"I'm with you!"
Lan Yulian immediately raised her hand, but was pressed down by Wang Tao.
"Are you going to be my dragster?"
"..."
Lan Yulian pretended to be angry, but Wang Tao obviously didn't accept this. He pinched her little face and said:
"Don't go out at night, only Xiaoxue and I go out."
Others can't see at night, so it's really a waste at night.
"Okay."
Lan Yulian has arranged for someone to observe the surrounding movements, 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.
It must be said that Lan Yulian does have management talents.
After she brought all the survivors from Bauhinia 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.
Wang Tao also knew only then 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 there are 21,945 people!"
Lan Yulian said to Wang Tao with some pride.
"Oh? There is still 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 did not prepare safety measures, but he has never been tricked once...
"Is there something wrong with me?"< br>
Wang Tao suddenly doubted himself.
After all, if a boy and a girl can’t have a child, 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. After she heard that Wang Tao was surprised by the new population, she said proudly:
"Ahem, in my case 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! It is a pity that several babies died in infancy before..."
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 dead child, and she was sad for most of the month...
However, Lan Yulian quickly raised her head and said with a smile:
"New life represents hope! If a base has no newborns, then it is destined to be destroyed, and our Bauhinia base has nearly thirty freshmen. Come on, I believe our base will last forever!"
Looking at Lan Yulian whose face seemed to be glowing, Wang Tao suddenly couldn't bear to hit her.
But Wang Tao also has the responsibility to tell Lan Yulian 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 difficult."
Wang Tao looked at her seriously.
Lan Yulian was a little panicked when Wang Tao saw her. She subconsciously said:
"It's just a zombie wave! Our base can stop it for the time being! And we still have you! You all Level 4, you are so strong...you should be able to protect us, right?"
After speaking, 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 wants to protect the people in the base, but she is also unwilling to let Wang Tao be harmed...
Seeing Lan Yulian's appearance, Wang Tao stroked her face.
“Of course I will protect you, protect you. But, you have never seen those powerful fourth-level zombies, the giant zombies that are tens of meters high and like skyscrapers. If they appear, one step away You can enter the Bauhinia Base..."
Wang Tao told 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. , it was easily defeated by giant zombies..."
"How could..."
If the giant zombies had not attacked the base of human survivors, Lan Yulian might still have some luck, but now that there is an example, her last bit of luck is gone.
But Wang Tao was not going to let her go yet. He just heard Wang Tao continue to say:
"When I was driving a military transport plane, I encountered a giant zombie. The giant zombie was not in the city. In the area, they followed the tide of corpses and headed east."
"..."
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 fourth-level zombies or giant zombies are really Here, what will you do?"
Lan Yulian raised her head and looked at Wang Tao while biting her lip.
"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...
"..."< br>
Lan Yulian’s eyes suddenly turned red.
She is the leader of the Redbud base, and she doesn't want to give up on these survivors. If she walked away, what was the difference between her and the murderer? But... there is really nothing she can do! 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 soon and there is no big danger! You know, no matter what kind of tide it is, it will eventually recede. "And even if there is real danger, it will happen in the future. Maybe we will have a solution by then!"
He Jijun said suddenly.
He felt that everyone's morale was a bit low and he needed to improve their morale.
"Haha, yes. I am talking about the worst case scenario, and I have always been very lucky since the end of the world. I have never encountered any desperate situation, and even if there is a desperate situation, I can turn the danger into safety... …I believe we will be fine after all!”
Wang Tao laughed, and then kissed Lan Yulian hard on 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...
"I will take you to see it. Those newborns?"
Lan Yulian said suddenly.
Wang Tao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay."
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 twenty newborns.
Newborn babies are wrinkled, ugly, and smelly. 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 get ready and go out in the evening."
After Wang Tao said that, he turned around and left without any nostalgia.
Lan Yulian's body stiffened and her face turned pale.
