Apocalyptic Disaster: Stockpile Supplies for Free and Make a Comeback

Chapter 173 Tracking
It took a whole day to tally up the number of personnel and supplies lost at the base.

The bodies of the base's own people were buried on the hillside behind the base, while the bodies of outsiders and those who were ignored were disposed of in a centralized manner.

The breached gate is severely deformed, and emergency repairs have been underway for two days but are still not complete.

The temperature had dropped to minus thirty degrees Celsius, and the wind carried a white chill. Visibility was extremely limited, and everything moved slowly.

After resting, Song Jinhe arrived at West Second District. Apart from the damaged facilities, no trace of the previous damage was visible.

She was checking the direction the group of remaining soldiers had run.

“They can’t go very far in this terrible weather,” Song Jinhe asked Gu Huai with her eyes.

To pursue or not to pursue.

"Go find someone with strong abilities."

The enemy has all flown away, and it's impossible to find them all. It would be best if we could eliminate all of their main forces.

“Okay.” Song Jinhe nodded, took the newly approved weapons and Gu Huai’s trusted men and drove off.

Snowmobiles are difficult to drive, and halfway there they spotted the other party's abandoned vehicle. Following the clues, and with Song Jinhe's guidance, they apprehended all eight people hiding in the old church.

The headquarters also asked around, and when they arrived there, the zombie corpses stuck on the iron rods were frozen into icicles and displayed in front of them, which was still somewhat shocking and unsettling.

In this apocalyptic world where even the living have no dignity, what about the dead?

The blizzard collapsed part of the defenses, and the horde of corpses covered in snow entered through the gap.

It was deathly silent inside, with only the sound of the wind and the howls of zombies.

There is blood in the window above.

Song Jinhe didn't dare get too close. Right now, it felt like the zombies were fused with ice, making them impossible to damage.

I just encountered one, and my hands went numb from shaking.

However, these zombies have poor hearing.

There's no need to go in given the situation inside; she circled the area at her furthest sensory range and didn't find a single living person. Even if there are still survivors hiding in some concealed place, they pose no threat to the base.

Their primary objective in coming out was to ascertain whether the intruders had any other forces at play, and whether that organization still maintained contact with this area.

As it turned out, the person who infiltrated the lab was telling the truth.

Song Jinhe could already see the scene outside the window and door as the horde of corpses surged in.

Most of those left behind at the base were family members who lacked combat capabilities; the defenders simply couldn't hold off so many zombies.

That organization is far more capable than groups that rely solely on force to seize resources and engage in arson, murder, and looting.

Given the strength and scale of the invaders, they had no intention of incorporating them; talented individuals were merely resources to be consumed.

“They know so much about our base, but we don’t even know where they are,” Gu Huai sighed.

Who can feel at ease in this situation?

“They won’t be making any more moves against the base for a while.” Jiang Shi’an, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the car, slowly opened them.

"So, Brother Jiang, you deliberately let him leak the information?" Gu Huai, in the passenger seat, suddenly looked back.

"if not?"

"That's what I said."

Gu Huai smiled but didn't ask Song Jinhe how she tracked him down.

It's obvious they have people in the base. If they're not allowed to get the data, they'll try again and again. The base no longer has the resources to deal with them.

"Is it genuine information?" Song Jinhe asked.

Jiang Shi'an nodded, "It really is. It was also information that was blocked by the highest level of authority back then, but that part isn't particularly crucial now."

After all, the sample size was limited at the time, and so much time has passed since then, during which the viral genes have evolved in so many ways.
