CHAPTER 923: CHAPTER 218: EVERYONE HOPES FOR A GREAT MOUNTAIN AT THEIR BACK

The food supply can last for quite a long time.

After all, many households have stored food, rice is often bought in bulk, and there are always some vegetables stocked in the fridge. Although the power may go out, it can still last for a while in the early stages.

Some citizens with crisis awareness, noticing zombies everywhere, would have turned on their taps and filled as many water containers as possible before the water supply was cut off.

The present era is different from the past.

Many households once had water dispensers, but now few do; most have installed purification systems instead.

Commander Chen explained, "This base was built by a wealthy man with an apocalyptic dream, heavily investing to create a shelter, with comprehensive equipment and supplies that can meet the living needs of many people."

"Oh." Lin Fan nodded, surprised that there were such wealthy individuals, but he had to admit the person had a visionary idea, "Is this wealthy individual still around?"

Commander Chen regretfully shook his head, "No. That wealthy individual was infected and turned into a zombie during the first wave of the apocalypse. When we arrived here, we saw him wandering around."

"That’s indeed very unfortunate."

Lin Fan knew the first wave was very peculiar, with random infections, no one could tell if the people around them would turn into zombies. Perhaps a perfectly healthy person could suddenly collapse, shake uncontrollably, their eyes turning white, and their mouth drooling thick fluid, becoming a zombie craving flesh.

If that wealthy individual hadn’t turned into a zombie...

Occupying such a place would indeed be very safe, life would be affected compared to the past, but it would definitely be comfortable.

Lin Fan observed very attentively, he had to admit, this was indeed a good place.

Commander Chen introduced it very earnestly.

Soon.

"Is this a breeding area?" Lin Fan was shocked by the scene in front of him, seeing some chickens and ducks being raised, and not just them, but even pigs, cows, and sheep.

Commander Chen said, "Yes, these were prepared by that wealthy man. The feed can sustain these livestock for a long time, and ahead there’s a cold storage room with many meats, seafood, and other food supplies stored inside."

The Sunshine Shelter now lacks living poultry.

"It’s hard to find live poultry now," Lin Fan sighed.

Commander Chen said, "Yes, the poultry in the city was mostly in markets. Since the apocalypse started, no one has fed them, so they’ve starved to death. As for the farms, their situation is unclear."

When the apocalypse began.

Lin Fan didn’t think too much.

Lived alone, watching the world change, never imagining that the Sunshine Shelter would come about, gathering so many survivors.

And now, it’s a turn for the better, capable of opening a breeding area in the Sunshine Shelter, properly raising these livestock and slowly developing.

Then next.

Commander Chen took Lin Fan to other places, and in Lin Fan’s view, this Commander Chen had a strong management capability. With over a hundred people under his management, the base developed in an orderly manner.

The relationship between the ordinary survivors and the Awakeners was very harmonious.

Just like at Huangshi’s Sunshine Shelter.

In the apocalypse, Awakeners were superior to ordinary survivors. In other places, Awakeners would be like lords, while protected ordinary survivors would have to obey orders obediently.

The survivors emerging from the basement looked at Lin Fan, who was led by the Commander.

They knew what had just happened.

They were shocked, still in awe.

Colleagues recounted the previous event, that with just one sword, a single person managed to wipe out an entire horde of zombies.

In the past, anyone would have said, are you telling us a fairy tale?

But the zombie corpses at the scene had not been cleared.

Their view from the city walls was clear, seeing the shattered bodies littering the ground, deeply impacting their minds, as some things truly require witnessing to believe.

After a long while.

A transport wrapped in a heavy rumbling appeared at the horizon.

"It’s here, have everyone pack up some things." Lin Fan said with a smile.

All the survivors in the base looked far off into the distance at the transport that came into view, which in their eyes, shone with the radiance of hope that grew brighter as it neared.

Commander Chen told everyone to gather their things and they merrily went their own ways.

They knew that a new life was about to begin.

Commander Chen looked at the approaching transport, though it was still far away, he could tell it was a military transport, ensuring no problem in evacuating the survivors here.

Thinking about leaving, Commander Chen felt some reluctance.

But he knew it was an inevitable trend.

They once thought this was a very safe place, but after the recent incident, they knew that danger was often far more terrifying than imagined. When zombie numbers reach a certain point, the height of the city walls can no longer hold them back.

Zombies piling up and forming columns; if one or several zombies manage to get inside, they could cause unimaginable destruction to the base.

Soon.

The transport landed.

Captain Lei personally led a team down, and upon seeing this base, Captain Lei was impressed by its defensive measures; having such a fortress in the apocalypse is a dream come true for many survivors.
