Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 136 Entering the base
"Boss, I just got here too. I heard that Sheng Kai failed to steal someone else's girlfriend, got angry and embarrassed, and his men pulled out guns to threaten him, and then he lay down."

Gu Huai turned to Sheng Kai and casually chuckled, "You're pretty good. I can't even beat him, yet you dare to make a move."

As he spoke, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

Stealing someone's partner? Whose partner?

Gu Huai's gaze shifted to Song Jinhe, who was standing next to Jiang Shi'an.

This is the girl who could make steamed buns as hard as bricks, the one who kept Jiang Ge in Wucheng.

That steamed bun almost broke his teeth; he's definitely a master of hidden weapons!

Gu Huai's cold expression instantly turned into a smile. "Finally met you. This must be your sister-in-law?"

Song Jinhe tilted her head, looking at Jiang Shi'an with a confused expression.

"Yes." Jiang Shi'an answered without hesitation, his gaze sweeping over Sheng Kai with a chilling indifference that sent shivers down one's spine.
"What did he just say inside?"

"He said my teammate wasn't good enough and told me to give up on him." Song Jinhe pursed her lips, her eyes slightly cold.

She watched as the other man drew and cocked a gun, but didn't react; her main reason was that she didn't want to reveal her location.

Another option is to wait for the other party to actually fire, then at the right moment, provide some psychological disruption and run towards that Brother Sheng's direction.

Without much mental interference, the bullet slipped and landed at Sheng Kai's feet, allowing him to watch the show without leaving any evidence against him.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shi'an happened to come over and saw the scene, and made the first move.

Despite the scorching temperature of over forty degrees Celsius, Sheng Kai felt a slight chill from the sweat rolling down his back.

As fellow members of the base's management team, the Gu family was someone his father had always wanted to connect with but couldn't. After the apocalypse, the landscape was reshuffled, and Gu Huai awakened a powerful talent, now commanding the base's strongest fighting force.

Times have changed. Those fancy tricks and schemes don't work anymore; strength is the only true measure of success.

The base can exist without the Sheng family, but it absolutely cannot exist without its main force.
Three months ago, the city shelter fell, and tens of thousands of survivors became zombies or zombie food.

He thought this group of talented individuals was no different from the previous ones. Those talented individuals who thought they were very strong outside were just so-so once they arrived at the Luozhou base. They still had to listen to his orders, let alone a woman without any talent.

Sheng Kai choked on his breath, his neck turning red. He never imagined that the highest authority in the experimental zone would be in the hands of such a pretty boy.

Gu Huai looked up at the figure rushing over to clean up the mess left by the spendthrift son.
"Oh, right, you didn't know that? Uncle Zhou used to work for them."

When the Luozhou base was still a temporary shelter, Zhou He was the deputy commander. Within a week, many management personnel and rescue teams were infected with the zombie virus. If it weren't for his efforts to turn the tide and stabilize the situation, the Luozhou base might have fallen.

If Gu Huai hadn't contacted Jiang Shi'an, Zhou He would have also sent people into Wucheng to look for them.

This statement was meant to remind Sheng Minghong.

For a moment, Sheng Kai's mind was buzzing. He looked at the middle-aged man walking towards him, but before he could even call him "Dad," he was hit hard on the head, which was knocked to the side.

"Can't you just shut up for once? You can't even do a proper job at the management office?"

Sheng Minghong cursed a few times, then looked at Sheng Kai, who was bowing his head and not daring to speak, and said, "You can stop working on the management office's review of outside survivors for now. Go back and reflect on your actions."

After reprimanding his son, he turned to Gu Huaizhou and the two men, feigning difficulty.
"What happened today is all my fault for not teaching properly. Please forgive me. The base has not received any news from Mr. Jiang and assumed that there were no survivors in the experimental area, which led to today's misunderstanding."

"We had some of the documents and data we brought back before, but no one here could unlock them. Now that Mr. Jiang has come, it's great news for our base."

Sheng Minghong smiled and tried to smooth things over. He was also troubled by having such a son; he had paved the way for him to participate in the management of the base, but it hadn't been long before he started causing trouble.

No matter what, Sheng Kai is his son. The slap he gave him was to give an explanation. If an outsider were to do it, it wouldn't be as simple as just a slap.

Outside the base.

Zhang Yi and the others waited by the RV.

After looking around for a while, Deng Yurou finally found an opportunity to come over alone. She hesitated and looked at Zhang Yi shyly.
"I just heard that you took a long detour to get here, and even encountered a zombie horde and a volcanic eruption along the way."

Zhang Yi nodded, unsure of what the other person wanted to do.

“We came from a neighboring city, and there were originally five or six of us.” Deng Yurou’s eyes reddened as she recounted her experience.

This team is very exclusive; we definitely won't be able to get close to them unless we change our strategy.

At that moment, Deng Yurou caught a glimpse of Ding Huan walking towards them out of the corner of her eye, and knew that her chance had come.

"Yu Rou, what are you doing here?" Ding Huan asked urgently, his wary gaze sweeping over the men.

Deng Yurou's back stiffened as if in a conditioned reflex of fear, and her expression was also off. Ding Huan couldn't see this from his angle, but Zhang Yi and Dai Jie could.

"It's not our turn to register yet, so I came to check." Her voice was a little nervous.

"We're almost there, let's go."

Ding Huan was also worried that Deng Yurou would leave him if she got together with another gifted person, so he just wanted to get her away as soon as possible and didn't notice the change in her tone.

I didn't even see the pleading look in her eyes when she turned to leave.

After the two had walked away, Zhang Yi frowned and asked uncertainly, "Will she be alright?"

"The one in Su Lan's team is of a higher rank." Zhuang Ting casually withdrew his gaze and pointed out, "She's trying to use you."

-

According to the rules of the Los Angeles base, talented individuals who pass the initial screening can first move into temporary apartments. They will be assigned a residence only after the management office verifies their information and assigns them work.

However, because of Jiang Shi'an, Song Jinhe and his team skipped this step and drove their RV and sedan into the garage next to the villa area after the inspection.

Liao Zi'an personally came out to make arrangements.

"Don't worry, everyone. Your accommodations have been arranged. From now on, we're all brothers!" Liao Zian's smiling demeanor was completely different from when they first met.

With another capable team of their own now in the base, it's a good thing for both them and the base.

"What's going on?" Zhuang Ting asked Qi Sixing, who had come out to meet them, in a low voice, seeing the situation.

"I didn't realize it either. Not only does Brother Jiang know the people inside, but he seems to be the head of some kind of laboratory," Qi Sixing replied.

"I was wondering how Brother Jiang, a doctor, could be so skilled. It couldn't be that he trained specifically to avoid being beaten up during medical disputes."

"..." The real doctor, Cheng Yan, smiled and said, "Is it possible that if I encounter a medical dispute, I will run towards the medical equipment? The hospital may not care whether I live or die, but it will definitely care whether the equipment lives or dies."

Deng Yurou, who had just registered her information, was very excited to see this scene. She was right, this team was not simple, and the people at the base treated them completely differently!
