Chapter 562 Shocking News
As the truck entered the base, Qin Zhong discovered that the interior of the base was much more advanced than it appeared from the outside.
Driving forward along the flat concrete road, Qin Zhong was surprised to find that the population in the base was not as small as he had imagined.
A large group of scientific researchers, dressed in various clothes and holding various tools, were busy moving around the corners of the base, installing various instruments of unknown use.
Next to them was a burly man in military green camouflage uniform, holding his weapon tightly in his hand, staring at the vehicle of Qin Zhong and others like an eagle staring at its prey.
"I didn't expect that there are so many people here." Looking at the bustling scene in the base, Qin Zhong couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"Haha, because of your and Miss Sun's reminders, and because we pay more attention to virus protection on a daily basis, when the virus broke out on the disaster day, we were lucky enough to retain most of our manpower."
Ding Kai said proudly, "Don't be fooled by the large number of people here. This is just one of the five major bases in Kyoto. After all, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Although Kyoto is still full of zombies, we can actually recapture the entire city in just three days if we wanted to. The reason we didn't do that is mainly because we don't want to expose our strength too early!"
As he spoke, Ding Kai sighed and said, "Do you want to know why I didn't kill Fury and Greed when I could have?"
Looking at Ding Kai's gaze towards him, Qin Zhong nodded silently. To be honest, he had really thought about this question, but then he thought that Ding Kai must have his reasons for not killing him.
Ding Kai looked at Qin Zhong and said, "After the apocalypse, as the Chinese government and the civilization of Planet T communicated more and more, we gradually understood the truth of the apocalypse. It involves another alien civilization, and Demon Mountain is the spokesperson for this civilization on Blue Star. Even the people of Planet T are unwilling to offend this civilization easily!"
"Furthermore, after receiving support from his master, Demon Mountain's power has grown immensely. He now secretly or directly controls nearly ten major cities in the world, and within these ten cities, there are countless survivors. Demon Mountain even possesses nuclear weapons. If a war were to break out rashly, I'm afraid even more people would die!"
"It is precisely because of this that the Chinese government and the remaining governments on the other Blue Stars are fighting against the forces of Demon Mountain while also vigorously improving their own strength. They are also looking for a suitable opportunity to fight a decisive battle with Demon Mountain. However, before this opportunity comes, we cannot act rashly. Otherwise, I am afraid it will cause huge damage!"
Qin Zhong frowned when he heard this and said, "King Tie, have you ever thought about whether this might be raising a tiger that could become a disaster?"
"Well..." Ding Kai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Someone did bring this up before, but now the decision is made by a few big guys. Although I've been promoted to level nine, I'm still a soldier at heart, and a soldier's duty is to obey!"
Qin Zhong smacked his lips when he heard Ding Kai's words, thinking to himself, "If it were me, I wouldn't just sit there and wait for death. Often, when you feel like the time isn't right, it might just be someone else deliberately making you think that way. Delaying things for too long isn't necessarily good for you. If you can resolve it quickly, don't delay! Over time, everything becomes uncertain!"
But Qin Zhong would only recite these words silently in his heart. After all, he was an outsider, and there were some things he could only think about but not say out loud. However, Qin Zhong's heart moved, and he thought of the content of the last entry in the diary.
Although the content of the last log entry was vague, Qin Zhong could feel that perhaps, on that day, mankind encountered a huge crisis that might even affect human existence.
But I just don’t know what this crisis is!
……
While the two were chatting, the truck moved forward and gradually went deeper into the base.
As we went deeper and deeper, training grounds began to appear on both sides of the road. There were many people training inside, and the shouts and screams were deafening, and the scene looked very lively.
"Are these all official soldiers?" Qin Zhong looked outside with envy. As expected, people are more dead than humans. After a zombie war, there are only more than 30,000 people in the Songcheng base, and there are no more than 5,000 official soldiers.
And here, at a glance, Qin Zhong must have seen no less than five thousand people, not to mention those he had not seen.
"Haha, actually not as many as you think."
Ding Kai smiled and shook his head, saying, "Most of these people are ordinary survivors who have been rescued. However, this is the end of the world, and even ordinary people must undergo rigorous military training. If a war really breaks out, even these ordinary people can become our reserve force."
At this point, he suddenly sighed heavily and said, "Harsh living conditions often forge the most elite warriors. So, as long as these survivors still have their vitality, after a period of rigorous training, they can at least become qualified soldiers. We can also provide the outstanding ones with evolution potions, giving them the opportunity to become Evolvers."
At this time, Qin Zhong interrupted again, "Why can't everyone provide evolution potions? Is it because it's difficult to refine evolution potions?"
Ding Kai nodded and said, "Not only is there this problem, but more importantly, the evolution potion was developed based on the X virus, and is extremely contagious. There's a certain chance that someone will turn into a zombie after being injected with the evolution potion. Therefore, it's generally only used on the strongest warriors. For ordinary people... it's very dangerous!"
Nodding silently, Qin Zhong said with deep understanding: "Yes, it's not worth it to survive the virus outbreak at the end of the world and die here!"
"Stab!"
At this moment, the truck suddenly stopped, seemingly reaching its destination. Ding Kai looked outside and smiled at Qin Zhong, "Okay, we've arrived."
Then, the side door of the truck opened, and Qin Zhong and Ding Kai got off the truck side by side. As soon as they got off the truck, Qin Zhong saw three buildings in front of him.
Each of the three buildings has six floors, and the walls emit a unique metallic silver glow, as if they are made of steel, like three steel fortresses.
"Haha, how about it, it's quite spectacular!"
Seeing Qin Zhong's shocked expression, Ding Kai smiled and said, "These three steel fortresses are the base's office area. Although they don't occupy a large area, they took quite a while to build."
"The exteriors of these three buildings are all cast steel?"
Looking at the silver light flashing on the surfaces of the three buildings, Qin Zhong asked in surprise, "This is simply invincible, right? Hiding in a building like this, no zombies can pose any threat to you."
"Yes, this is also the last line of defense of this base."
Ding Kai patted his wrinkled uniform and said with a smile, "We built these fortresses to maximize the chances of survival in the event of a special incident. As for the construction, we have quite a few Awakened people in this field. With everyone working together, it wasn't too difficult."
"Lord Iron King!"
While the two men were standing in front of the building talking, more than a dozen burly men in black armor ran to the front of the convoy. One of them, a handsome young man, stepped forward and saluted with a standard military salute.
