Reborn in the Apocalypse: A Commoner's Survival Log
Chapter 139 Arrival at the Capital Base
Back in the air-raid shelter, the group split up and searched again. Finally, they found Sui Sui, a girl tied to a stone slab with a towel stuffed in her mouth, in a secluded corner.
As soon as she was untied, Sui Sui tried to commit suicide by banging her head against the wall, but Chai Jin stopped her in time.
"Why would you be so desperate to kill yourself? We've killed all those villagers. If you're still not satisfied, go and stab them a few more times!"
"I'm pregnant with some bastard's child, and I don't want to give birth!"
Zhou Yang and the others were dumbfounded: "Uh, isn't it that Da Shan guy?"
Sui Sui gave a cold laugh: "Heh, when that Da Shan wasn't around, his brothers and his father all came to bully me. I feel so dirty! I don't want to live anymore."
The short-haired girl rushed out and hugged Sui Sui, who was still contemplating suicide: "Sui Sui, you're different from us. You still have parents in the capital! How about I go with you to the capital to find your parents? If you don't want to have the child, then we can go to the capital and have an abortion, okay?"
Thinking of her parents, Sui Sui finally stopped struggling and hugged the short-haired girl, crying bitterly.
Although the others did not join in the weeping, their eyes also reddened.
Zhou Yang and the others watched silently from the side, without disturbing them. Only after everyone had calmed down did they suggest continuing their journey.
Seeing that they were also going to the capital base, Zhou Yang and the others decided to see them through and bring them along as well.
However, there wasn't enough room for so many people on the pea, so they had to drive themselves to follow.
After looting the only supplies on the mountain, the group descended.
When they reached the main road, Zhou Yang took out a 7-seater minivan, which they should be able to squeeze in.
"You're all riding in this car following behind us, but who can drive? Let me make this clear first, this car is just for your reference. We're taking it back once we get to the down payment base."
“Of course, we have no objection!” Wang Yixin was the first to nod, and then added, “I’ll drive. I have a driver’s license and I’ve driven before.”
“Okay!” Zhou Yang said, tossing the car keys over. “Let’s set off now. It’s only about 400 kilometers from here to the capital base. If we drive fast, it should take about four or five hours to get there.”
Zhou Yang and his group led the way on peas, while Wang Yixin and his group followed in their car.
When they first saw the dog suddenly grow to a huge size, Wang Yixin and the others were so frightened that they collapsed to the ground. It took them a while to recover before they shakily got into the car.
In order to make sure Wang Yixin and the others could keep up, Zhou Yang even asked Wandou to slow down and keep the speed at around 130 km/h.
The zombies and mutated animals they occasionally encountered along the way were easily dealt with by Zhou Yang and his companions.
The variety of supernatural abilities they witnessed elicited gasps of amazement from Wang Yixin and the others, their eyes filled with envy.
Sigh, if only they had such powerful abilities, then they wouldn't be in this situation...
Unfortunately, they had nothing.
Young Pengpeng nestled in his older sister's arms, sitting together in the passenger seat, his eyes blinking as he watched the colorful lights through the car window. Then he placed his little hand on his sister's injured arm, and a faint green light emanated from his palm.
Sun Jing felt a warm and itchy sensation on the injured area of her arm. Looking down, she saw her younger brother's small hands pressing on her arm, which was glowing with a faint green light. Looking at her arm again, she saw that the wound had completely healed.
Her younger brother has superpowers! And they're healing abilities!
“You…” Sun Jing was shocked, but stopped herself just as she was about to ask a question.
In this apocalypse, she trusts no one anymore! She must carefully protect her brother's supernatural abilities.
Wang Yixin, who was in the driver's seat, noticed her unusual behavior and, thinking something was wrong, quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
Sun Jing shook her head and hugged Peng Peng tighter: "It's okay, just focus on driving."
Wang Yixin didn't think much of it and focused on driving his car.
Four hours later, the group finally arrived near the capital base.
It was almost 9 a.m.
The capital base is not actually located in the capital, but rather in the area south of the capital bordering the province of Bec Chau.
Although it is far from the city center, there are still many residential areas around it.
The group still had to pass through a residential area before reaching the capital base.
Fortunately, this area seemed to have been cleared, and there weren't many zombies, but mutated animals and plants could still appear at any time.
Zhou Yang and the others got off the peas and started driving.
Apart from a calico zombie cat that blocked our way, we didn't encounter anything else.
As for the zombie cat, before they could even make a move, it was stomped underfoot by Pea's flying pounce.
Zhou Yang and the others only heard the sound of bones breaking before it was over.
After driving for half an hour, the group finally arrived outside the capital base.
As expected of the Capital Base, which is known as the largest security base in the country, its gate is more than twice the size of Baijishan's.
The wall was built high and wide, with a long row of soldiers standing on it. There was a watchtower on each side of the gate, and two isolation observation rooms outside, also guarded by soldiers armed with guns.
Just looking at it makes me feel safe.
Zhou Yang nodded secretly.
The checkpoint at the city entrance was divided into two sides: one for ordinary people and the other for those with superpowers.
After Zhou Yang and Wang Yixin got out of the car, they put the car into their spatial storage.
"From now on, it's up to you. As long as you're diligent and work together, you shouldn't have any problem making a living at the base."
After they thanked him profusely, they went to join the queue of ordinary people, and then Zhou Yang and the others went to the queue of people with superpowers to enter the city.
There weren't many people in line for those with superpowers, and it wasn't long before it was Zhou Yang's turn. None of them were injured, and they passed the test quickly.
Even the mutated pea was only briefly tested for obedience to its owner to ensure it wouldn't harm anyone before being put inside.
Of course, this was also because Zhou Yang had made the peas the smallest size beforehand to avoid attracting too much attention.
As soon as they entered, they were surrounded by a group of small, thin children.
"Big brother/uncle, do you need to ask for directions?"
"Brother, we can lead the way!"
"elder brother,……"
One of the boys, the largest in the group, tugged at the corner of Zhou Yang's sleeve and said, "Hey, do you need someone to show you the way? Just a pack of instant noodles will do. We know the base really well, you can ask any of us."
At the Baijishan base, you can occasionally see orphans looking for work.
Therefore, Zhou Yang guessed that most of these were orphans who needed to raise themselves. In order to avoid being bullied and to survive, these children had no choice but to stick together.
"We need to find someone at the base. Do you know where we can get there the fastest?"
"I know, the base has registration procedures. You can just ask at the base's service hall. Brother, do you need someone to show you the way?"
"Okay, then you."
"Brother, I can't leave. I need to take care of my younger siblings. They're small and might get bullied. Can this little brother, Xiao Qi, show you the way? He often shows the way to others and knows the area well." The child pulled over another somewhat introverted child and pushed him in front of Zhou Yang.
Looking at the two of them, Zhou Yang couldn't help but sigh, "Some people are not as kind as a child."
"Okay, let's go with him. Shall I give you the payment now?"
"No need, you can give it to him after Xiao Qi shows you the way, thank you brothers!"
The boy bowed to Zhou Yang and the others before leading the other children to find the other newly arrived survivors.
Looking at the children, Zhou Yang and the others felt a pang of sadness. Even the capital base didn't have the resources to help these children.
