"I don't know. I heard from people that there seems to be some kind of danger. The lockdown is to ensure safety."
"How many days will this be closed?"
"I don't know. I didn't hear the notice. Maybe a day or a few days?"
"Oh~, I originally wanted to go to the abandoned city nearby to see if I could find anything."
…
"Brother Jing?" An Gui looked at Jing Si in confusion, "Why is this blocked? Is there a wave of corpses coming?"
While they were talking, after all the people entered the base, or those who decided not to return to the base for a few days left, there was a bang, and the base's defense gate not far away was closed, and there was no possibility of entry or exit.
Those who wanted to return to the base in the short term, whether they were scavengers, hunters or other ordinary residents, could only curse and leave.
"I don't know, but it doesn't look like it." Jing Si answered An Gui's question.
There are usually warning signs for the formation of a zombie tide.
Although there were an absurd number of zombies outside the wooden house at the foot of Beihan Mountain last night, on the way they would come this morning, there were still zombies wandering aimlessly along the way, and the number was normal.
This doesn't seem like a sign of a zombie wave.
After some thought to no avail, Jing Si took An Gui to find a soldier on guard who had just returned from get off work.
"Hey, brother, I want to ask why our base is sealed off? How long will it take to unblock it?"
The soldier seemed to have just finished his night shift and couldn't help but yawned: "I don't know, ha~ The superiors didn't say how long the order was to be sealed."
After saying that, the soldier ignored him and walked straight forward, as if he wanted to go home quickly to catch up on his sleep.
Jing Si glanced at An Gui and said, "Let's go. I don't even know. Anyway, we don't plan to go out anytime soon. Let's go back quickly. They should be all anxious."
"Um."
An Gui allowed Jing Si to pull him forward, but An Gui couldn't help but look back at the closed door.
I don't know why, but his perception is very keen and he has always had a strange intuition about danger.
The closed door at the entrance and exit of the base made him feel inexplicably depressed, but it was only a little tight, so slight that he couldn't be sure if it was a feeling of danger.
Maybe he was a little tired after following Brother Jing all morning and encountering some zombies along the way.
Maybe he felt wrong?
In another alley, a woman wearing a red cloak listened to the conversations of the people around her.
In the apocalyptic era, there are more and more people wearing strange clothes, so it is not very strange for Mei to wear a red cloak.
According to the cursed conversation descriptions from people around her, she also learned about the blockade of the northern area of Minglei Base.
However, this did not make her expression change much. Mei just glanced at the tall green and black wall outside and then withdrew her gaze.
Anyway, she came here to find someone. She had already entered the North District, but she would not leave again for a while. The blockade had little to do with her.
Mei quietly moved the silver bracelet on her wrist into her sleeve, and then disappeared into the crowd.
If Jing Si were here, he would definitely be able to find that the silver bracelet on Mei's wrist is very similar to the bracelet that An Gui has always cherished. Even the diamond-shaped pendant on the bracelet has only slight differences in writing.
People from Minglei Base were coming and going on the road, and except for the blockade, they looked no different from usual.
However, no one noticed that all the soldiers on the fence who took turns today were new faces.
…
In the North District of Minglei Base, in the accommodation area near the administrative building, in Deputy District Chief Zhang's room.
Deputy District Chief Zhang stood with his hands behind his hands facing the window, his expression indifferent, and a dark purple mist flashed across his eyes.
Bang!
The door to the room was violently pushed open, and a man in black robes rushed over angrily.
"Zhang Qi, you bastard, what the hell are you doing? Huh?!"
"Not only did you use my name to rob our people without permission, but what the hell do you mean by sealing off the northern area of Minglei Base?!"
"How do you want our goods to get out?!"
Deputy District Chief Zhang Qi Zhang remained unmoved in the face of the angry man in black, as steady as an old dog, as if he had anticipated his reaction.
"Sit down." Zhang Qi's voice was neither urgent nor slow, and he pointed to the table not far away.
"Drink some tea and don't be impatient."
Two cups of hot tea have already been placed on the table, as if they have been there for a long time.
Dao Ye glanced at him suspiciously, then temporarily suppressed the anger in his heart and sat down.
Yes, the man in black is Dao Ye from Dark Scorpion. After struggling to survive Dr. Mu's punishment, he was sent here with Wang Tai to transport the "supply".
However, Wang Tai was not present at this meeting with Deputy District Chief Zhang, and Wang Tai did not even know about it... Dao Ye had other purposes.
Seeing Dao Ye sit down, Zhang Qi also sat down opposite Dao Ye and took a sip of tea.
“Good tea.”
Seeing that Dao Ye was about to get angry again, Zhang Qi took off his reading glasses, wiped them with a lens cloth with a sigh, looked at him with a pair of cloudy eyes, and said: "If I remember correctly, your organization's experiment The room is inside Minglei Base, and the blockade seems to have no impact on you."
"Zhang Qi, you are pretending to be stupid for me, but you know what I am talking about?" Dao Ye clenched his fists and couldn't help but get angry again.
"Oh -, I remembered, you are doing trouble behind Xiaomu's back. One of the goods is going to be sent to Xiaomu, right?" Zhang Qi put his glasses back on and said with some seriousness, "Young man It's really rude, the old man has a bad memory and doesn't know how to be considerate."
Dao Ye couldn't bear it anymore and hit the gray-haired deputy district chief who was in his fifties or sixties with a pure golden energy.
There aren't many metal powers used, but they are enough to scare ordinary people.
The identity of the deputy district chief still has some uses, which is why Dao Ye did not kill him directly. If the deputy district chief were replaced, it would be very troublesome for them.
However, a dark purple mist flashed in Zhang Qi's eyes. This ordinary old man in his fifties or sixties actually caught the pure energy attack of Dao Ye's gold power with his bare hands.
Dao Ye didn't see that when the pure gold energy struck a few millimeters in front of Zhang Qi's palm, a tiny dark purple crack quietly opened, swallowing up the energy almost instantly.
He froze on the spot, then looked at Zhang Qi and became completely alert: "What did you do?!"
Dao Yexin raised his voice completely, and he looked at Zhang Qi with eyes full of scrutiny. If he remembered correctly, none of the news he had received before said that Zhang Qi had supernatural powers.
Zhang Qi, deputy director of the North District of Minglei Base, was originally a completely ordinary person.
"You were the one who launched the attack, young man." Zhang Qi smiled, as if he didn't care about Dao Ye's previous attack or his gaze at this moment, "Don't be nervous."
