Volume 7: The Truth of the World Chapter 19 Good News and Bad News
In Home No. 1, between Hulu District and Q District, there is a large fully automated farm, which was transformed by Shen Jin into the Ark No. 1 rescue site.
As the name suggests, it represents a location in the "Ark Project". There are also rescue sites 2, 3, and 4, which are distributed in sparsely populated areas of Home Base No. 1. These were all set up by Shen Jin and Wallfacers No. 9 and 10 a few months ago to prevent this situation from happening. If necessary, Shen Jin can even bring all the survivors in the entire Chinese country to Home Base No. 1. In that case, his home will really become a large Noah's Ark, the last Garden of Eden of China...
Now, it’s not yet at this stage.
When Shen Jin and others returned to the base, the survivors on Zhengzhou's side were still being teleported to the Ark No. 1 area. Space cracks were torn open on one [teleporter] after another, and rows of survivors crawled out of them and were then taken to the living area by the logistics team.
In 40 minutes, all 500,000 survivors in Zhengzhou were teleported, and the extraordinary people of the Zhengzhou branch of Tianluodiwang were also teleported here, completing a perfect retreat!
Yang Ao stayed behind and put all the more than one hundred [Transporters] into his backpack. He took a look at the empty Zhengzhou branch base of Tianluodiwang and said, "I'm afraid the zombie tyrant will be angry to death... Goodbye!"
He activated his portable [space locator] and returned to Home No. 1.
Shang Qian is arranging all matters here. 500,000 survivors is a lot. Home No. 1 is so large that it can only accommodate 810,000 people. This is a direct increase of 2/3. The Ark No. 1 area originally only had accommodation for 200,000 people. Now that there are suddenly so many people, it is really difficult to accommodate them.
But these people are not residents of Homeland No. 1, and they do not necessarily plan to live here for a long time. After the crisis is resolved, they may return with the people of Tianluodiwang. After all, that is their hometown...
Moreover, for the sake of convenience in management, we cannot allow so many people who do not understand the rules of No. 1 Home to wander around, as this may easily lead to a large number of public security incidents.
Shang Qian called Long Taojia from the construction team, "Old Long, have your people expand Ark One on the spot, build dormitories that can accommodate 300,000 people, and equip them with public toilets, drinking water areas, garbage dumping areas, and so on!"
"Okay, Mr. Shang!"
Long Taojia took the order and started the intensive construction with his 10,000-strong construction team. All of a sudden, tens of thousands of people wearing gloves and carrying [electric jet packs] on their backs rushed over, like the rocket soldiers in Red Alert. It was very spectacular. They took out building blocks from their backpacks one by one, flicked their fingers, and quickly built the matchboxes. It was very fast!
The survivors from Zhengzhou were all stunned. Right under their noses, dormitory buildings suddenly appeared on an open space.
"My goodness, am I dazzled? Why am I seeing a mirage?"
"No, you are not seeing things, it's this world that is abnormal, I must not be awake yet!"
"You all know nothing and have no experience! I heard from the people of Tianluodiwang that this is a unique skill of the No. 1 Home Base, called 'Blocking Ability'. It can build defense facilities and houses very quickly!"
"Oh my goodness! I thought we could just stay out here for one night, but looking at this speed, we will be able to move into the new dormitory in no time. This is outrageous!"
"What's so good about this shabby dormitory? I still want to go back to live in the residential building at our Zhengzhou base!"
"I don't think so... A safe place can only be called home. If you have to run away and wander around every day, then there's no point in staying at home! In the past year or so, I've moved four times. It's really annoying!"
"+1, hemp among hemp!"
A group of people pointed and discussed the construction team's rapid construction work. After being rescued, they were no longer afraid, but instead had great interest in new things. In summary, they loved to watch the fun.
Shang Qian called Wang Defa again, "Old Wang, go to the Resources Department to get a batch of simple beds and put them in these newly built dormitories. Then arrange for people to come and cook for them tomorrow morning so that they won't starve. For any other reasonable needs, ask the logistics staff to meet them as much as possible. Shen Jin just said that these people may stay for a while, and they may go back when the crisis over there is resolved!"
"Okay, Mr. Shang, I will definitely do a good job of providing logistical support and management for the survivors here during this period of time, so that they won't cause any trouble to our base and we can send them away smoothly!"
Shang Qian shook her head: "Old Wang, you don't understand what I mean!"
Shang Qian adjusted her black-framed glasses and pointed at the ignorant survivors from Zhengzhou City. "Since they are here, why don't we invite them to take a good look around our base? What if they fall in love with this place... and voluntarily stay here and don't plan to leave?"
Lao Wang slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I see! I will notify the administrative department and prepare to process the new residents to move in. Don't worry, I will make sure most of them... stay voluntarily these days!"
"Well...that's right, I trust you to do the job, Lao Wang!"
Shang Qian left with satisfaction. After these things were arranged, she didn't have to worry about them anymore. Although Lao Wang liked to carry heavy burdens for others, he was very reliable in doing things.
Shen Jin and his team were communicating with the head of the Zhengzhou Tianluodiwang branch, and they didn't know that Shang Qian had already set her sights on them...
"Thank you! Thank you very much for the help from Home No. 1, otherwise, we would have suffered heavy losses during this retreat!"
"You're welcome. This is what I and Wallfacers No. 9 and 10 agreed on in advance. Besides, there are so many compatriots here, and we are all Chinese. We can't just let them die at the hands of zombies."
"During this period, we may have to disturb your base. We need to borrow some food to maintain the lives of the soldiers and civilians. When Zhengzhou is safe, we will take it out from the granary and return it to you!"
"No problem. Don't worry about food, water, and accommodation. My people will arrange everything for you. Just stay here for the time being. If you have time, you can go to our Q area. The city here is quite lively!"
As he spoke, Shen Jin naturally took out a card and said, "Here is this for you. There should be quite a bit of money in it. If you see anything you like, you can buy some for yourself!"
"Um...Okay, thank you, Colonel Shen!"
Yang Zheng, the boss of Zhengzhou Tianluodiwang, took the thing that looked like . Although he didn't know how to use it, he still responded with a polite smile. After all, the man in front of him saved them.
After finishing speaking, Wallfacer No. 9 pulled Shen Jin and said, "You have to be mentally prepared recently. The habits of the Zombie Tyrant are completely different from those of the Z Zombie. We can't figure it out yet. It is very likely that other areas will also be attacked by a large zombie tide. Once that happens... we can only let them retreat to your side again!"
No. 10: "You are the only one who can stop the zombie tyrant!"
Shen Jin nodded: "I understand. We have agreed before that if such a disaster happens, Home No. 1 will definitely be the home of all Chinese people. I think we should now consider how to deal with the impact of the zombie tyrant leading the zombie tide!"
The zombies in City B will enter Province H tomorrow. If they seek out and destroy human settlements, they will inevitably fight with Home No. 1.
Wallfacer No. 9 sighed, "Alas... the situation we were most worried about has finally happened. The zombies did not sit back and wait for death. They directly teleported so many fourth-order zombie tyrants here. Next, we must not only consider how to defend against the zombie tyrants, but also consider... how to eliminate them. Otherwise, they will lead a large number of zombies to run rampant across the country, which will destroy the results of our efforts for so long!"
Wherever the zombie tide passed, there was devastation. Now China's major urban settlements have finally managed to gain a foothold and restore order and production. No. 1 Home has also just built a large number of power generation facilities and charging stations in various places. If the zombie tide continues, all their efforts will be in vain.
Shen Jin scratched his head, "But... we can't defeat the zombie tyrant head-on. Maybe relying on the defense of Home No. 1, we can still kill it, but your thing... can't be used outside Home No. 1. We... are powerless!"
No. 10 suddenly said: "Unless there are a few more fourth-order extraordinary people!"
"Yeah... Only a fourth-level extraordinary person can shake the zombie tyrant in the zombie tide!"
Sun Can said nothing, turned around and went back to his residence to practice. The others were also a little helpless. They were even further away from the fourth level. "Let's wait for Hu Shou to recover his strength and wait for the research results of the white ape man to see whether the psychic can be promoted to the fourth level... If something unexpected happens, Sun Can and I... may be fourth-level psychics that are difficult for humans to deal with!"
If the two of them were devoured by the genes of alien races when they were promoted to the fourth level, it would be a big trouble for humans.
The Zombie Tyrant's quick movements cast a shadow on everyone's heart.
…
Two days later.
Home No. 1 activated Ark Base No. 2 to accommodate the survivors of Chengdu City. Chengdu City is also a big city with many survivors, a total of 800,000 survivors, which kept the construction team, logistics team, and resource department busy for a while and they haven't had a rest in the past few days.
Fortunately, Home No. 1 has abundant storage of various supplies. After all, it is an old hoarder who has plundered all the resources of six cities and part of the resources of two provinces. It has a rich financial foundation and can easily supply the 1.3 million new survivors.
This time when Yang Ao went to Chengdu City to help them evacuate, he also moved their granary over. Anyway, the food would slowly go bad if it was kept there, so it would be better to put it in the boxes of the No. 1 Home Warehouse, where time would stand still and the food could always be kept fresh.
By the way, Yang Ao also took some time to secretly lead his men back to Zhengzhou City and emptied the grain reserves there. Zombies don’t eat food, but they were afraid that they would be bitten when passing by, and then they would be infected with the zombie virus in the warehouse and would not be able to eat it.
Home No. 1 keeps these foods on behalf of their two bases and also provides them with food free of charge.
In return, I received sincere gratitude from the people in the two bases.
"Thank you~!"
Generally speaking, these rescue methods had been rehearsed in advance and no problems occurred during the process. However, it was unexpected that so many people would come at once. Shang Qian also asked the construction team to hurry up and expand several other Ark bases to prepare for the next city attacked by the zombie tyrant.
Today, Hu Shou has fully recovered. He came to Home No. 1 with the genetic analysis report of the white ape man.
"You did a great job, I wasn't wrong about you!"
Shen Jin smiled and said, "It's just a small favor. I can't just watch my compatriots die outside, right?"
Hu Shou patted his shoulder with great force and said, "No matter who you are, we... are the same kind of people!"
Shen Jin was confused: "Who am I? Why are you saying this suddenly?"
Hu Shou smiled and said, "Nothing, this is the latest lab report, it should be of some help to you!"
Shen Jin took out a thick report and saw a lot of data and pictures. It wrote about the process and results of various tests. It was very complicated!
Shen Jin frowned as he watched. Beside him, Sun Can grinned. "Commander Hu, you should just tell us the conclusion. It's too difficult for us to understand this..."
Hu Shou's mouth curled up slightly: "Okay... Actually, I don't understand it either. Someone in the lab explained it to me!"
Shen Jin, Sun Can: “???”
You don’t understand it, bring it here so we can see it!
So disgusting!
But when Shen Jin saw the smile on Hu Shou's face, he suddenly realized that this was Hu Shou's bad taste!
"There is good news and bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Shen Jin: "Bad news!"
Sun Can: “Good news!”
The two looked at each other and said, "It's all right. Just decide!"
From their subconscious answers, we can see the difference in their concepts. Shen Jin wants to know the disadvantages first, while Sun Can wants to know the advantages.
This may be the difference between a successful person and a reckless person.
Hu Shou did not keep the secret any longer: "The good news is that there is no essential difference between the genes of the psychics and the structure of us gene-locked extraordinary people. In other words, no matter which promotion method we choose, we have to face the impact of alien bloodlines if we want to advance to the fourth level!"
Shen Jin and Sun Can felt relieved. It would be fine if everyone could be the same. Since Hu Shou could survive, they could also find a way to survive.
"What about the bad news?"
"The bad news is... what the ancient extraordinary said is correct. It is easier for gene-locked extraordinary people to pass the fourth level than psychics. This is because our control over genes is much stronger than psychics. We can block the genes of some alien races and prevent them from being activated. Therefore, the inner demons we face will be weaker. And you psychics... The inner demons you have to face are very powerful, equivalent to the spirit of a fourth-level alien race. You must face this process by yourself, and no one else can help you!"
"This man from Crocodile Country just couldn't withstand the impact of his inner demons. He completely lost himself and forgot who he was originally. In the past two days, we have tried to wake him up, but... all failed. His consciousness has been completely taken over by the aliens. The genes in his body are leading his body and brain to undergo rapid transformation. After a while, he will completely become an ancient alien!"
"Hiss! A gene fragment can cause such a huge impact. Can these alien races really come back to life after hundreds of thousands of years?"
"The curse of the alien race... this is too terrible!"
The news brought by Hu Shou gave Shen Jin and Sun Can some peace of mind. Theoretically, they could be promoted to the fourth level, but it was very difficult.
Shen Jin had some guesses and suddenly asked, "Is the inner demon... a kind of mental attack?"
