Chapter 51: Arriving in City B

Five days later, Qin Wu powered up her walkie-talkie and contacted the following cars.

“We should be able to reach the base in the late afternoon.” She said and quickly continued.

“However, there is a difficult stretch up ahead.”

“Big sister Qin, what’s going on?” A tender voice floated over the walkie-talkie.

This voice belonged to Lu Yanyan.

Since her uncle was driving, the walkie-talkie was handed over to her, and she was responsible for maintaining contact with the team.

“There is a small hospital up ahead, a church eighty metres away, and several other establishments within one kilometre. The base is just beyond this stretch.” Qin Wu informed.

“Shouldn’t the base have already cleared the area?” Lin Rongrong asked in an uncertain voice.

After all, the area was very close to the base.

Even if the army didn’t clear it, superpower teams should have already cleared it while looking for supplies.

“The original base was on the other side of city B. The army and superpower teams may not have had enough time to clear this area.” Qin Wu said.

In the previous life, the city B base was first established on the other side of the city.

At that time, everyone thought the outbreak was an ordinary pandemic.

Even if it was more serious than previous pandemics, no one suspected it was an apocalypse.

They felt everything would return to normal in no time.

As a result, the leaders didn’t put much thought into establishing a base.

It was only later that the leaders shifted the base from the original place to another more suitable area.

Mo Chenxuan happened to have a villa in that area.

In this life, he sent his housekeeper and chef to occupy the villa ahead of time.

Even after the apocalypse began, the two loyal servants stayed in the villa while waiting for the base to shift.

When they last talked, the housekeeper informed Mo Chenxuan that the base had yet to shift.

However, the leaders reacted faster than in the previous life.

Although the base had not shifted, the leaders had already sent an exploratory team to survey the villa area and the surrounding estates.

Given that it had been a while since the last contact, Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu guessed that the base had already shifted to the new area.

“Big sister Qin, have you recently had contact with the base?” Lu Yanyan asked.

“Not recently, but when we last had contact, the base was about to move. It should have moved by now.”

No one questioned Qin Wu after hearing this.

Soon after, the team neared the small hospital.

“How?” Qin Wu asked, looking at Mo Chenxuan.

“There are hundreds of scattered zombies within five hundred metres. It’s nothing we can’t handle.” Mo Chenxuan sighed in relief.

He originally worried that the establishment of the base would force thousands of zombies onto this stretch of road.

Fortunately, his worries did not come true.

Since there were only hundreds of scattered zombies, the team didn’t even need to get out of their cars.

They crashed through the zombies, and one hour later, they saw a majestic base wall.

The wall was about eight metres tall and ten metres thick.

Although it was afternoon, there were patrol teams along the base wall, and sniper nests were erected every few metres.

Qin Wu nodded when she saw this.

Compared to the previous life, the base wall looked sturdier, and the patrols were better organised.

’Seems like the leaders are not just messing around.’ She thought and looked at Mo Chenxuan with a relieved face.

Seeing the face, Mo Chenxuan chuckled.

He was also relieved.

However, they had only seen the wall and didn’t know the situation inside the base.

Ten minutes later, the team finally saw the base gate.

From what Mo Chenxuan and Qin Wu knew, the base had four gates – the South gate, North gate, East gate and West gate.

The South and East gates were for ordinary survivors.

In this instance, ordinary survivors meant ordinary people and superpowers who were not affiliated with the military and leadership.

Similarly, the West gate was strictly for military and leadership use, while the North gate was for emergency use.

Of the four gates, the South and East gates were the most crowded.

At this time, Mo Chenxuan led his team to the South gate.

The South gate had two roads – the entrance road and the exit road.

At a glance, the traffic on the exit road was free-flowing, but the entrance road looked like a parking lot.

Hundreds of cars queued to pass through, and thousands of survivors either waited in their cars or walked around to communicate with others or check the situation.

“It will be a while before we can enter.” Qin Wu sighed.

“Mmh.” Mo Chenxuan nodded with a thoughtful expression.

He wished he had a way to contact his housekeeper and chef.

Unfortunately, ordinary communication had long gone down.

Unless he encountered someone he knew, he had no way of letting his housekeeper know that he had already arrived.

’It doesn’t matter. I will just go to the villa after we enter the base.’ He thought.

Time passed, and the queue moved forward.

Three hours later, Mo Chenxuan’s car finally reached the front.

“Are you a resident?” A guard asked.

“We are new.” Mo Chenxuan said, and the guard nodded before speaking.

“Are you here for a visit, or do you wish to reside in the city B base?”

“Permanently reside.”

“Park your car in that parking lot and register at that office.” The guard said, pointing at a parking lot and then an office.

“Thank you.”

After that, Mo Chenxuan drove away and soon parked his car.

At the same time, Qin Wu checked a pamphlet that the guard gave them.

“How is it?” Mo Chenxuan asked.

“We each need twenty kilograms of food to get a permanent resident card. If there is no food, we can give twenty litres of fuel, daily necessities or ten level one crystal cores. We also need one kilogram of food to register a vehicle. This kilogram can also be substituted for fuel and other things.”
