I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

"Oh!"

Qin Zhong immediately became interested after hearing Wang Boshen's words. It was the first time he heard about the military base. Especially when Wang Boshen said that the weapons and equipment there were enough to equip an entire division, his eyes widened immediately.

"Comrade Lieutenant, tell me, is this base far from here? How did you know it was lost?"

"Not far at all. It's in Sheshan, 40 kilometers away from here."

Wang Boshen said, "That's a Chinese military base in East China, located deep in the mountains. It's usually garrisoned with a regiment. We're not a regular military unit, but a high-security military material storage unit. Newer weapons and equipment from East China are temporarily stored there, or even destroyed."

"After the disaster day, we experienced a brief period of volatility. The commander even transformed into a zombie. Under the command of a deputy commander, we eliminated all the transformed soldiers, regained control of the base, and contacted our superiors. Later, according to their request, we dispatched six teams to different areas to organize the survivors' retreat!"

"Everything was fine until last month, when we suddenly lost contact with the base. Conventional methods like cell phones had long since ceased to function. I tried to send out three waves of liaisons, but none of them returned. We had no choice but to wait there until those events occurred..."

After listening to Wang Boshen's words, Qin Zhong became very interested in this military base in Sheshan. The reason was very simple, besides being greedy for the weapons and equipment inside.

There is another more important reason, that is also one of the locations where Mr. Mu assigned his mission.

Qin Zhong pondered for a moment and said, "Comrade Lieutenant, I can go with you to the underground air-raid shelter to take a look, but no matter what the result is, can you take me to that base later?"

Wang Boshen suddenly became alert and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"doing what?"

Qin Zhong chuckled and said, "Of course we're going to take out the weapons and equipment there and arm the survivors. Do you intend to let those equipment rot underground?"

Wang Boshen said seriously, "But these are all state-owned..."

Qin Zhong waved his hand, interrupting Wang Boshen. "Comrade Lieutenant, the country? The entire Chinese nation, and perhaps even the entire world, has become like this. Why didn't the country come to our rescue when we were in trouble?"

Seeing the change in Wang Boshen's expression, Qin Zhong decided to make his point clear. He didn't want to go back and continue explaining. "It's been over five months since the disaster, almost half a year. Do you think the government still exists?"

"I think, even if it exists, it's probably only in the Kyoto area. Also, the Sheshan base you mentioned has probably fallen. In that case, wouldn't it be a good idea to take it back and use the equipment to arm the survivors to increase their chances of survival?"

As Qin Zhong spoke, Wang Boshen's face became more and more serious. He had to admit that what Qin Zhong said made sense and every word was on point, but he was a soldier and his inherent loyalty made him feel torn.

Seeing that Wang Boshen had remained silent, Qin Zhong thought for a moment and decided not to push him too hard, so he said, "Well, there's no rush for this. Let's go to the underground air-raid shelter first and discuss everything after we come back alive."

Wang Bo let out a long breath and nodded. Seeing that the two agreed to go to the air-raid shelter to find his brother, Song Xiaoxuan happily wanted to go with them, but was dissuaded by Qin Zhong.

"You should stay here. It's dangerous for both of us to go. If you go, we will have to take care of you."

Song Xiaoxuan, blushing after being told that by Qin Zhong, had no choice but to stay. Wang Boshen and Qin Zhong were ready. Wang Boshen also put on the headlamp given by Qin Zhong, and of course, covered the headlamp with a layer of black cloth to prevent the light from being too bright.

After giving Song Xiaoxuan some instructions, he asked her to hide in a room in the small building and lock the door. Qin Zhong also left a pistol for her so that she could protect herself if something happened.

……

After making the arrangements, Qin Zhong and Wang Boshen walked out of the small building and saw dozens of zombies wandering around behind the building again. The two did not try to clean up these zombies, but tried to avoid them as much as possible.

It was only a hundred meters from the front yard to the back yard, but because there were zombies wandering everywhere, it took the two of them more than ten minutes to walk there.

When the two came to the backyard, there was a circular reinforced concrete fortress more than one meter tall in the southeast corner of the backyard. The entrance was an arched door that was six or seven inches thick.

The two men came to the gate, which was wide open. Qin Zhong stood at the gate and looked inside. He could see that the cave was dug quite deep from the outside to the inside. It was dark inside and a chilly air came out.

Qin Zhong frowned as he looked inside, not quite understanding what was going on. He asked, "Comrade Lieutenant, why is there an air-raid shelter here? Building an air-raid shelter in an orphanage is a bit strange."

Wang Boshen scratched his head and smiled, "Actually, it's easy to understand, because this wasn't an orphanage before. It was rented out for some reason and converted into one."

"Oh!"

Qin Zhong suddenly realized what was going on. Looking at the darkness inside, he hesitated and said, "It's been so long, I'm afraid it has happened. When we go down there, don't be too reckless. Don't be too radical. Don't fail to save anyone and then get yourself in trouble. That would be a waste!"

After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhong warned again: "When you get down there, try not to shoot if you can..."

Wang Boshen pursed his lips, looked at the dark air-raid shelter, and nodded.

The cave was deep and dark, with faint howling sounds of corpses coming out. The two men packed up, put on their headlamps, pressed their thumbs to release the safety of their rifles, and switched to single-shot mode. Then Wang Boshen took the lead, followed closely by Qin Zhong, and walked down the stairs.

There are a total of twenty-eight steps, about four meters deep underground. What appears in front of you is a twenty-meter square lobby with the inner wall made of rectangular stones. Opposite is a deep corridor with cold air constantly coming out.

There is a turning door on each side of the front hall, and no one knows where it leads to. Qin Zhong touched his chin and thought to himself that the space in this air-raid shelter is really not small.

Looking around warily, Wang Boshen asked in a low voice, "Brother Qin, which way do you think we should go first?"

There wasn't a single zombie in the front hall. It must be because the light coming through the archway drove the zombies, who still had a light-attracting instinct, out.

Hearing Wang Boshen's question, Qin Zhong walked to the side of each passage, concentrating his attention and listening carefully. After becoming an evolver, his vision and hearing had improved significantly.

For example, now, when he concentrated his attention and listened, he could hear the creepy growls of zombies coming from deep in their throats in the deep corridor and the corner doors on both sides. The sound was so subtle that it seemed to come from the deepest part of hell.

However, the left corner door was locked from the outside. Qin Chong wanted to go in from here, but when he was about to open it, he suddenly withdrew his hand.
