Volume 3 Chapter 38 Encountering an embarrassing situation again

The M country people retreated in defeat and finally gave up the survivor bases on the edge. Instead, they all gathered in the center with only the three largest bases currently remaining.

Besides these three survivor bases, few bases exist. This was why they hadn’t found a survivor base after so long.

In addition to these three survivor bases, there were many individual households in country M. That is to say, these people tend to live in relatively remote areas with their family, or one or two people and are self-sufficient.

It is not at all similar to the current situation in China.

Under the enthusiasm of the two foreigners, the group of people walked together. Their current location was a little far from the nearest base.

Shao Qing specifically asked them: “Do you know which base has more Chinese people?”

The male immediately said: “Oh, of course. The original Chinatown was established into the Chinatown survivor base after the end of the world. Their power is quite large, even now. It is also one of the three remaining bases. Do you want to go there?”

Shao Qing nodded. Reportedly, these overseas Chinese contacted Jing Du and wanted to return home. The reason they hadn’t come over in part was due to this.

The man hesitated and spoke after a while: “Well, I will take you there. I know some people there. Now that the Chinatown survivor base is under martial law, most people can’t get in.”

“Thank you.” Shao Qing thanked him seriously, then they headed towards the Chinatown survivor base.

One day was not enough for them to walk to the Chinatown survivor base, so by afternoon/ evening, they had to set up camp.

The afternoon was short, and it was fine, but there was one person who couldn’t help but want to take a nap….

That was Er Dai. For some reason, Er Dai has been able to sleep well very recently and the amount of crystal nuclei absorbed every day has also greatly increased.

Shao Qing laughed at him: “You’re able to eat more and more now. Soon I won’t be able to support you if you continue this way.” While clearing the inventory, she took out all the high-quality crystal nuclei and gave them to Er Dai.

Before, Er Dai didn’t sleep no matter if it was day or night. But now it was more than just night time. Even during the day, he would stop to take a rest. When Shao Qing was cooking, when she looked over, he would have nodded off and fell asleep.

Shao Qing did not know whether to cry or laugh. The only thing she could do was to get everyone to take a nap together. What? Refuse to sleep? What? Feel like we’re wasting time and taking a nap? What? Must go?

Come, let’s compare moves with each other. I was just getting a little itchy recently.

After that discussion, no one raised any objections.

Shao Qing felt that she was still very democratic!

Both male A and female B were new to the team. They didn’t know how cruel Shao Qing was, so they were still rather close to Shao Qing, their benefactor.

When Shao Qing was cooking at noon, they also kindly provided some ingredients, which came from poisonous bees. These poisonous bees have a high ability to kill people but have a higher ability to make honey.

Queen bees require a lot of energy to lay eggs. For queen bees, the best thing was human flesh, which could replenish a lot of energy. The only thing that could barely be replaced for human flesh was nectar.

The worker bees tend to hoard a lot of nectar in the pond in the nest. The bloody pond that the explorers saw was actually nectar that had been deposited for a long time.

The nectar provided by the two foreigners was the nectar that they obtained from the poisonous bee’s belly. The nectar was rare, but it was much sweeter than the average honey.

Shao Qing used it to make honey glazed chicken legs and wings. Because the two people provided the ingredients, Shao Qing allowed them to eat together.

Shao Qing’s cooking skills instantly conquered the two foreigners and the two foreigners cried as they ate. They probably hadn’t had such good food since the apocalypse. Moreover, China’s 5000+ years of culinary skills couldn’t be compared with country M’s hundreds of years.

The expressions of the foreigners showed that they just wanted to hold onto Shao Qing’s thighs and never let go.

What do you seek in life? Isn’t it just to eat and dress warmly, and then satisfy the little one?

In the apocalypse, not speaking about clothes, at least following Shao Qing meant they would be fed well!

It’s a pity that Shao Qing was not going to accept two foreigners as younger siblings. After finishing things, she was going to leave. She couldn’t just bring them along. Let’s not even talk about whether they agree or not, just them not speaking the language was a big enough problem.

So in order to avoid all troubles, it is best not to take them in.

Two days later, they finally arrived at the Chinatown Survivor Base. The Chinatown Survivor Base was not located in the original Chinatown. The base was named Chinatown Survivor Base just because almost all the people in the base were Chinese and 80% of them came out of Chinatown.

And it has been used thus far with no intentions to be changed, it is estimated that the person who named it was also a handicap at naming things.

The guards outside the base of Chinatown were very strict. If you want to enter the base, you must go through many checks. This was because the poisonous bees could carry the zombie virus.

As long as they were stung, they would have a great chance of becoming zombies. They have suffered so much, so they had to be extra cautious. Thus, all ordinary people had to go through examinations that were several times more complicated than before.

Shao Qing arrived at the door, and the two foreigners immediately stated that they knew acquaintances and could simplify the examination procedures.

Shao Qing smiled, then said: “Leave it to us, this matter will not be bothersome.”

One of the two civilians immediately stepped forward to the gatekeeper: “Please tell your base chief that the guests he invited are here.”

Although they were coming here honorably, they should always guard against the leadership of Country M. It would be safer to reveal their identities to Country M after the matter has been settled.

The guard at the gate froze for a moment. Luckily, he was unlike the condescending guards from some novels and honestly went inside to report the news.

The head of the Chinatown survivor base coincidently had the surname of Tang*. Hearing that someone coming from outside said that they were a guest he invited stunned him at the time. His first reaction was that someone was pretending and thought about it carefully. Then he recalled that he had contacted China not long ago.

* same first word as saying chinese people

Immediately, he jumped up and said to the person who reported: “Go call the deputy base commander and several commanders, all of them!”

Then he hurried to change his clothes to at least look a bit more appropriate. He didn’t want to make people think that he was looking down on the people coming from China.

He was one of the groups of people who especially wanted to go back to China. Getting older, he always wanted to return to his roots. Even if he died, he wanted to die on the land he was dreaming about.

Thus he was so cautious about the people who came from China. Even if the other party might not have come from China, he would have to go and see.

The base director hurried to the entrance with his people and saw the unfamiliar faces that belonged to Shao Qing’s group. At this moment he knew that these people had a great possibility of coming from China.

First of all, they were all Chinese. The Chinese people in the country M, although he didn’t know them all, he had at least seen them. So even if he didn’t recognize them, he would think they looked familiar. For these people, he can be sure that he has seen none before.

Then they must have come from China.

As soon as the head of the base came over, one of the two civilians greeted him and took the other’s hand in a friendly manner: “Are you the head of the Chinatown Survivor Base? We are from your native place.”

Once he said so, the head of the base was clear and quickly said: “Please come in and speak! It won’t do for us to stand here, otherwise people will say that I’m treating guests poorly.”

The group of people entered happily and Shao Qing walked behind, carefully looking at the higher ups of Chinatown Survivor Base.

She felt that everyone wanted to go back to China. After all, in country M, they already have certain foundations. The huge Chinatown survivor base was one of the three largest bases in country M. Such foundations were hard to give up, The average person wouldn’t be able to do it.

Even if Tang Yaozu can do it, what about the others? Can the deputy base director and other senior executives say that they will give up just like that?

Even if they say they can, Shao Qing didn’t believe it. Who are you trying to cheat?

There are only three things that have attracted men since ancient times. Power, fame and beauty. While staying in the survivor base in Chinatown, these three things were at their fingertips. If they return to China, everything would have to start from scratch again.

As long as they had the slightest ambitions, they would know what to choose.

Shao Qing didn’t like to guess people’s hearts, but that was the fact. Tang Yaozu led the people back with him, certainly some people would like to go back with him and some people would not.

It would depend on what kind of thoughts they have. But as long as it had nothing to do with Shao Qing, she would be good.

Tang Yaozu took them to the living room of the main building and made tea. After everyone was seated, Tang Yaozu said excitedly: “I have waited for you for a long time.”

The communication with Tang Yaozu was naturally handed over to two clerical staff. The role they were brought for was diplomacy.

There were also things like negotiations that the two of them were more reliable for.

It can be seen with the naked eye that they were good at talking, at least Tang Yaozu laughed all the way through. Finally, after Tang Yaozu decided to return to China, some people wanted to leave, and some wanted to stay.

Tang Yaozu also needed some time to arrange things after he leaves, such as who the entire base will be handed over to.

With so many people leaving, the strength of the base will definitely decline. In case of repeated mutant animals attacking the survivor base, their defensive strength will definitely decline and they might even get destroyed.

Therefore it would be best to deal with this in advance as they must not leave a mess for the next base chief.

It happened that Shao Qing also needed time to complete other tasks, so the matter here was put aside.

However, while they are being extremely hospitable at the base, they should still prepare to leave in a day or two and restock the inventory of vegetables and fruits.

There were many vegetables, fruits, and crop planting places in the Chinatown Survivor Base. Many ordinary people worked here to earn their daily expenses.

So even if there were many zombies and sieges, the Chinatown survivor base could still be self-sufficient for a long time.

This model was very good and was very suitable for China. The only problem with China is that most of the bases are now inside the city. The land inside the city was relatively small, making it difficult to achieve self-sufficiency.

Most of the bases were living in the city and some safe planting sites were established. However, once a zombie siege occurs, their situation was not as good as the model in the Chinatown survivor base.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Shao Qing because in Jiangcheng, most were zombies, only a small part of them were humans. By starting a small vegetable garden, they can live a self-sufficient life.

Thinking in this way, becoming a zombie had its benefits. You don’t have to worry about your livelihood. You never have to worry about starving to death or being eaten by the zombie.

It’s great to think so.

They settled in the Chinatown survivor base. The things they had to do everyday turned into eating, sleeping, and walking, which was very leisurely.

Especially Shao Qing. People who knew her did not dare to be close, so apart from two foreigners, few dared to come to her every day to eat and drink.

For Er Dai, he continued to eat and sleep every day. If he wasn’t practicing, he was sleeping every day.

Seeing this, Shao Qing was very worried.

Er Dai should have been promoted in rank already. Every time he acted abnormally, he was about to advance. This should be the same. He had been at the peak of the fourth rank for a long time.

No one can help him in such a promotion of rank. All Shao Qing can do is to take out all her advanced crystal nuclei.

There were not many crystal nuclei in her hand suitable for Er Dai. She had left a lot of crystal nuclei in Jiangcheng to provide Gu Panpan for their cultivation. Then during this time, she did not go out to hunt zombies. The crystal nuclei in her hands were not a lot, especially since the two people have used it a lot these days.

Er Dai’s sleeping time slowly lengthened and Shao Qing’s worries slowly increased. She examined Er Dai’s body and found that because he absorbed energy quickly, his body couldn’t fully handle it, thus he went to sleep.

During his sleep, he would digest the energy a lot faster than usual.

This was a good thing for Er Dai.

But the lack of crystal nuclei in hand was a problem. Shao Qing had a terrible headache, so she called Qin Zixi to come: “I am going to go out and hunt for some crystal nuclei, can you help me guard Er Dai? You know Er Dai’s situation, I can’t relax if I leave it to anyone else.”

Qin Zixi actually wanted to go out with her, but when Shao Qing said that, he had to stay: “Okay, Qing Jie, you should be careful outside.”

Shao Qing nodded, then left. When she went out, Zhu Mochen happened to be sitting at the doorsteps and wiping his knife. Hearing that Shao Qing was going out, he followed: “Let’s go, together, I’m bored.”

One more person equals more strength. Zhu Mochen was not weak, so Shao Qing agreed. The two foreigners also wanted to follow, but Shao Qing did not allow it. The two didn’t even have powers, they were too weak. If they followed, they would just hold them back!

After leading Zhu Mochen out, Shao Qing ran into another person. This person was standing among the higher ups of the Chinatown Survivor Base that day. Presumably he should be the higher ups of the Chinatown Survivor Base.

He looked similar to Tang Yaozu, but he was younger, only in his twenties. He was probably a relative of Tang Yaozu, probably his son.

Even if he wasn’t his son, it should be a relative with a closer blood relation.

Tang Yaozu looked more generous and kind, but the young man’s eyebrows were a bit harsh. Shao Qing didn’t like him at first sight.

Shao Qing was heading out with Zhu Mochen when they were stopped by the smiling man: “Yesterday, I had a chance to meet this miss. My name is Tang Tiande, my father is Tang Yaozu. I don’t know if Miss……”

You’re a miss and your whole family is a miss.

Why is he speaking like that, who does he think he is? Shao Qing remained expressionless, but she had to give some face to Tang Yaozu’s son.

“I am Shao Qing, this is my friend Zhu Mochen.” Shao Qing briefly introduced themselves and was about to leave. She still had something to do. How could she be free to go round and entertain this young kid here?

“Ms. Shao, please wait. Where might you be going? Could it be that you want to go around the Chinatown Survivor Base? Since I am the host, you should call me for such a thing!” Tang Tiande said with a smile.

Although he was smiling, his smile was annoying, at least Shao Qing hated it. This was because Tang Tiande looked like a lecher.

“I just want to go out to hunt for zombies.” Shao Qing smiled and said: “Host, do you want to go together?”

Tang Tiande changed his face at that time.

A splendid woman, one with such a beautiful appearance, how can her hobby be so unique? Isn’t it fine to enjoy going out to eat, drink and chat? Instead she wants to hunt for zombies!
