Chapter 262 Sneaking Into the Base
Li Yuanhong confirmed the location of the hiding person, but it turned out that Jin San didn't know. Li Yuanhong asked another person again, and that person didn't know where the person was being held. This gave Li Yuanhong a headache. After all, the person was with them. In his hands, Li Yuanhong was a little bit defensive
"Brother Li, what should I do?" the guard asked with a frown.
Li Yuanhong pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Where is Jin Shanping now?"
"Our leader has brought the airship to the gathering place." Jin San knew everything now, fearing that he would be the one who got slaughtered if he said half a sentence wrong.
"It seems that your life is still of some use, so tell me where your base is!" Li Yuanhong smiled evilly.
An hour later, in a valley, a pair of people who had gone out to search for supplies were walking back. It was winter, and it was almost impossible to harvest anything. The roots of plants frozen in the ground could not be dug out at all, and the nearby ones could not be dug out. The village had already been plundered without even a grain of rice, but in order to fill their bellies, they had to endure the severe cold and take risks. Maybe with luck, they might find mountain rats or something, and they would have enough food for those few days.
But this group of people was very unfortunate. They had nothing to gain except that another person died passively in the snow. Their clothes are thin, and after two years of wear and tear, their clothes have begun to crack and break. Before the end of the world, these clothes would have been beggars' clothes, but now, they are their last protection against the cold.
The few people who were stumbling around had no hope. They had not eaten for several days. Even if they went back today, they would probably be carried out of the gathering place as corpses tomorrow morning.
Suddenly a young man fell to the ground. It looked like he was dying. Several other people reluctantly walked up to this young man. This young man was so hungry that he was naked and his body was as thin as a stick.
"Hey, the boy is dying, let's find a place to bury him here!" an older person said.
"He's still a little angry!" said a young man next to him.
"There is no difference between having energy and not having energy. They are both dead. Bury him early. We still have the strength to dig a hole for him, so that his body will not be harmed by wild beasts. We died later than him, and we probably won't even be able to survive." There are no people digging holes!" the older man said with a sad look on his face.
"Okay... okay!" Although the people around him were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to follow the elder's advice.
A few people had just dug a few shovels of snow on the side of the road, and before the ground was even exposed, they heard someone behind them ask: "Hey, this man is not dead, why do you want to bury him?"
Several people turned around and saw a young man in military uniform looking at the boy lying on the snow.
"Master Jun, it's not that we have the heart to bury him. He's already very hungry and probably won't survive. We bury him while we still have some strength. It's a good deed!" The older man looked sad. said.
"I thought he was sick. He's hungry. This is easy. You guys can carry him up. There's a cave next to him. I happen to have some food here. I'll make some soup and you guys can eat it, so you don't have to die!" The man said very easily.
"Ah? Is there something to eat? Give us something to eat?" Several people were surprised.
"Why don't you believe it?" I saw the man taking out a pack of compressed biscuits from the backpack at the back.
Seeing that they really had something to eat, they didn't know where to get the strength, so they carried the young man up with all their hands and feet, and soon they arrived at a nearby cave that was sheltered from the wind.
The man took out a small pot from his backpack, gathered some firewood outside, gathered them together, and then lit it with a lighter. The fire quickly burned, and the man set up a wooden shelf next to the firewood pile, and then Fill a small pot with half a pot of ice and snow, place it on the shelf, and start boiling water.
Everyone was very surprised. This man seemed to be doing magic tricks. Whether it was a small pot or a lighter, they had not seen it for more than a year. The people with these items in the camp were almost all high-level managers. They were not supposed to be soldiers at all. own.
"Sir, where are you from?" the elder asked boldly.
The man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then turned and asked the elder: "What do you mean?"
"I don't think you are like the people in our gathering place. These things are not what ordinary soldiers should have, and those soldiers will not be so kind to us and will take the initiative to provide us with food." The elder said He looked at the young man in front of him with worry, fearing that he would make him angry by revealing his identity just now, causing everyone to lose the food they had in their mouths.
"Haha, you are more observant. I am indeed not from around here. Do you know Qingyuan County?"
The elder said intuitively: "You know, I used to live in a city on the southwest side of Qingyuan County. I still have relatives in Qingyuan County. I even went there to visit relatives before the end of the world."
"I came from Qingyuan County. There are no zombies there now. Moreover, there is food there and there is trade with the Chinese state. There is no shortage of food and clothing there!"
"What? You haven't lost anything, and you still have food and clothing? Stop lying to me. If there was such a good place, would you run to us?" The young man next to him didn't believe it.
"I came here to find someone, not to live here. When I find someone, I will take him to our place. He will starve and freeze here. This is not a human life."
As soon as these words came out, everyone present bowed their heads and fell silent. Aren't they just living a life that is not human?
Seeing everyone sinking, the man felt that he had said the wrong thing, so he quickly changed the subject: "The water is boiling, I'll put the biscuits down, and I'll pick up some more firewood. Don't let the fire run out in a while." So the man left. go out.
This man went out without attracting the attention of everyone present. Their eyes were all on the pot, watching the biscuits in the pot slowly melt and finally turned into a pot of batter. It seemed to be the most wonderful thing in the world. matter.
Soon, the man came back again. Not only did he hold firewood, he also held a few stones in his hand. These stones were high on the four sides and concave in the middle, like bowls. The man distributed these stone bowls to everyone and broke them again. Some branches were used as chopsticks, and they were handed to these people, and finally they got the porridge in their bowls.
Everyone who had been humiliating each other just now, when there was food in the bowl, they immediately picked up the bowl and drank the porridge without caring whether the batter was hot or not.
Fortunately, the stone bowl the man brought back was cold. The porridge was poured into the stone bowl and cooled down, so the mouths of these people were not burned.
After eating a bowl, these people looked at the pot eagerly. Although there was no food in the pot, there were still some residues on the wall.
However, the man had no intention of giving them the residue, so he went outside to get half a pot of snow and put it on the fire to burn. It turns out that this is another pot of batter and porridge.
After three pots in a row, everyone felt better in their stomachs, and the boy who was about to starve to death also had the strength to stand up.
"Thank you very much. Although we may not live long, we still want to thank you!" the elder said.
"Thank you. Actually, I also need your help with something." The young man said.
"What's the matter?" the elder asked.
"Didn't I say I was going to find someone? But I'm not familiar with your base. Can you take me in?"
"Are you telling the truth?" The elder looked at the stranger again. Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said, "I can help you, but I have a condition."
"What conditions?"
"Take this child to the Qingyuan County you mentioned. This child cannot starve to death here!" the elder said.
The stranger thought about it for a long time, and then reluctantly agreed.
"Okay, since you agreed, you can't follow us into the gathering place like this." The elder said.
"Why?"
"Do you know those soldiers guarding the city?" the elder asked.
"do not know."
"Do you have a soldier's certificate?"
"Soldier, certificate?" The man was stunned, and one look revealed that he had no idea what a soldier or certificate was.
"You don't know the guards there, and you don't have any soldiers or certificates. As soon as you enter the city, they will catch you. Then they will convict you of pretending to be a soldier and then shoot you directly." The elder said.
When the man heard this, he was stunned. He didn't expect that this gathering place would have such a law.
There was no choice but to change into the clothes of their survivors, but he didn't know that his clothes had just been taken off the dead body.
The man wearing the clothes of a dead man was Li Yuanhong. Under Jin San’s guidance, the plane quickly arrived over the North Korean military base. But what Li Yuanhong didn’t expect was that the main body of the gathering place was actually built in a cave. It seemed that there were many mountains It's not a bad thing to just dig a few holes and build a shelter.
What Li Yuanhong didn't expect was that a large number of anti-aircraft missiles and other anti-aircraft weapons were deployed around this gathering place. Although Li Yuanhong believed in Fatty Lu's skills, he did not dare to take risks with airplanes. Therefore, Li Yuanhong could only cancel the direct airborne strategy.
The airborne landing failed and the only option was to enter the gathering place directly. The guard originally wanted to go in, but Li Yuanhong disagreed because although the guard could become invisible, the people he brought could not. Moreover, the guard could not speak Korean, which was the biggest disadvantage. .
Li Yuanhong walked towards the base with several survivors. Although his clothes were still thin, because he had food in his stomach, the survivor did not feel so cold anymore, so the speed was much faster.
At dusk, a few people finally walked to the gate of the base. The base was built in a canyon. There was a tall city wall at the entrance of the canyon. This city wall was built after the end of the world. It had no cement or steel bars and was completely made of stones from the surrounding mountains. Leicheng. Although this is not a cement wall, the stone wall is thick enough, so zombies below level 20 cannot break through this wall. This wall was built in the middle of the valley, so the zombies couldn't take advantage of the zombie hordes if they wanted to attack. The base was also threatened by the zombie hordes, but the crisis was resolved by relying on the stone wall.
Several people walked to the city gate under the city wall. At this time, several soldiers were standing guard. These soldiers were wearing the kind of big-brimmed hat military uniforms that existed before the end of the world, a bit like the Soviet military uniforms after World War II. Due to the cold weather, these people did not stand straight and did not look like soldiers at all. They just checked the survivors who were holding things. Most of the survivors who came back empty-handed, they just counted the numbers and let them go.
Since one person in Li Yuanhong's team had died before, these soldiers simply checked the numbers and let them go. It can be seen that the guards of the team here are not very strict. After all, they are the only base within a few hundred miles. , the others are all zombies and mutated beasts, and there is nothing to guard against against humans.
Li Yuanhong followed the crowd into the settlement and exited the canyon. The place suddenly opened up, and Li Yuanhong seemed to have arrived in a small city.
