Chapter 302 Changhe Base

This is a vast plain, with no tall buildings, no zombies, only a straight railway. At the end of the railway, there is a survivor base that seems to have no end!

"Is that the Changhe Base..."

Everyone on the train widened their eyes.

The Changhe Base is still some distance away from the train, but even so, you can feel the hugeness of the Changhe Base. What if it gets closer?

And most importantly, there is really no zombie tide here!

"This is the Changhe Base!"

Duan Xuchang, wearing a power armor, walked over. Now the threat has not been completely eliminated, so he naturally did not relax.

He said to Wang Tao again:

"Wang Tao, you should have noticed that those zombies are a little different, right?"

"You mean the crystal core?"

A blue crystal core appeared in Wang Tao's hand.

"Yes! Most of the crystal cores don't have the previous phantom! According to our research just now, this kind of crystal core seems to have no superpowers. I just asked someone to try it, and this kind of crystal core can't be fused..."

Duan Xuchang's face was a little serious.

He didn't know whether this change was good or bad, but it would obviously become a headache for many people.

"I also killed a lot of elite zombies, but only the crystal cores in some zombies have superpowers, and the other crystal cores have no superpowers..."

Wang Tao shook his head.

He could see the properties of the crystal cores, so he could be sure that most of the crystal cores did not have superpowers. But he didn't know what was going on.

Fortunately, only the crystal cores in the zombies had changed. The crystal cores he carried were still fine.

The two communicated for a while, but still had no clue.

"It seems that we can only rely on the Hope Research Institute..."

Duan Xuchang sighed.

If there is only this one change, it's okay. I'm afraid there will be a chain reaction...

The two didn't talk anymore.

As the train got closer and closer to the Changhe base, other vehicles began to appear around the train.

"There are survivors!"

Looking at the modified vehicles outside the train that were running side by side with the train, Nie Siyan reached out and greeted them. However, the train was one-way glass, and those outside obviously couldn't see it.

The survivors were very curious about the train, and occasionally stuck their heads out and made strange noises.

Wang Tao looked at the survivors and raised his eyebrows.

They were basically second- and third-level psychics, and their strength was not weak.

Slowly, more and more vehicles appeared around the train. Some of them were clearly vehicles coming out of the base, but after seeing the train, they turned around and followed the train... It seemed that they were very interested in the survivors in the train.

Seeing this situation, Duan Xuchang explained:

"These people may want to recruit you in addition to being curious. There are many organizations and forces in the base city... To put it nicely, it is relatively free; to put it bluntly, it is a mixed bag. So I suggest that you don't join any forces casually. There are so many of you, just wait for the arrangements of the top leaders of the base..."

"I see... I understand." Wang Tao nodded to show that he understood, and then asked, "Is the situation in the base city more chaotic?"

Duan Xuchang explained:

"Some places are indeed more chaotic. After all, you know, many people will not be willing to be lonely once they have strength. Now many people have become powerful superpowers, so... But you don't have to worry too much. Overall, our base city has many rules and regulations, and everyone will abide by them."

This is also within Wang Tao's expectations.

If a large base like Utopia really appears now, he thinks there is a problem...

The train is getting closer and closer to the Changhe Base, and the 20,000 survivors on the train are getting more and more excited.

"What a big base!"

Ding Yuqin and her group are also getting more and more surprised.

They could no longer see the entire base. All they could see was a towering wall that seemed to have no end!

When the train finally arrived at the gate of the base, everyone, including Wang Tao, was shocked.

At this point, they looked up from the window and could not see how high the outer wall of the base was!

"This high wall... feels like it can stop giant zombies!"

Wang Tao muttered to himself.

"Yes, the tallest giant zombie we have seen so far is more than 80 meters. And our outer wall is more than 100 meters high!"

Duan Xuchang nodded with some pride.

"Hiss——"

Everyone took a breath of cold air.

No wonder you can't see the end at this point, more than 100 meters high! This is at least equivalent to a building with more than 30 or 40 floors!

The outer wall of the previous Bauhinia base was only about ten meters high, and it could stop a large number of zombies. If it weren't for the fourth-level Night Demon zombies that destroyed the wall, it could have stopped for a long time! It is conceivable how powerful the defense of this more than 100-meter-high wall is! After all, if you want to build such a high wall, it is impossible to have only height but no thickness. Its thickness must be extremely amazing!

Wang Tao was also amazed.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe that someone could build such a tall wall in the end times!

Rumble--

The train slowly drove in, and the gate of the wall slowly opened.

This gate alone was taller than the outer wall of the previous Bauhinia base!

And when the gate was opened, it was dark inside, and it seemed that there was no end in sight.

Buzz!

Dim yellow lights lit up in the gate tunnel.

"Let me go! How thick is this wall! Open the door and it turns out to be a tunnel!"

Xiang Hongbin said to himself in disbelief.

This gate should not be opened often. The vehicles that followed the train before entered the base through other small gates. Of course, although it is said to be a small door, it is actually very tall, and it can even run on a train.

哐哧哓哧——

As the train entered the tunnel behind the door, everyone also saw the thickness of the two doors. It can only be said that no one with super powers can open this door, right?

The sense of security is overwhelming!

After a moment, everyone felt their eyes light up. The train finally passed through the wall tunnel and officially entered the Changhe Base!

"Everyone, welcome to Changhe Base!"

Duan Xuchang had already taken off his power armor and put on a straight dark green military uniform.

It was only then that Wei Zhenguo and others discovered that the epaulettes on his military uniform were different from those on them.

Duan Xuchang seemed to have seen the doubts of several people. He pointed at the badges on his epaulettes and chest and said with a smile:

"Changhe Base City went through some reforms earlier. Now there is no official government and no official army. All previous identities are invalid. We are now affiliated with the Third Army."

Only then did Wei Zhenguo and others suddenly realize.

When they heard that there was no more government and government troops, they felt a little melancholy for no reason, but it was not too surprising.

After all, there are now a large number of people with superpowers, and it is impossible to follow the same routine as before.

Even if this base was built by the government army before, they would give up part of their power after seeing the civilian superpowers getting stronger and stronger...

"Who is the ruler of this Changhe base now?"

He Jijun suddenly asked.

Before, they all thought that this place was ruled by the government or the government army, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Changhe Base City is too big. It cannot and cannot be ruled by a certain force or person. If you are referring to the highest authority in the base city, it is the Changhe Committee..."

"The committee..."

Wei Zhenguo and others subconsciously looked at each other. When they were at the Shuize base, they had also set up a committee... This was indeed a more appropriate system.

Amidst the exchanges between several people, the train slowly stopped.

"Everyone, we're here."

It was a huge train station and it was packed with people. In addition to some melon-eating people, there was also a group of heavily armed soldiers.

Buzz——

Car No. 2 opened the door first.

Wang Tao and his party left the train under the leadership of Duan Xuchang.

As soon as he got out of the car, Wang Tao saw a burly middle-aged man guarded by a group of soldiers. The middle-aged man laughed and said:

"Welcome to Changhe Base! I am Hou Zhiyuan, the commander of the Third Army."

Hou Zhiyuan is a third-level superpower with 100,000 HP and no hidden abilities. Wang Tao felt that with the fighting prowess of his men, he should have the ability to awaken. Unfortunately, he had no hidden ability and could not meet the conditions for awakening...

"Hello! I am Lan Yulian, the former leader of the Bauhinia Base. Thank you very much for your rescue!"

Lan Yulian walked at the front with Wang Tao. After she introduced herself, Wang Tao continued:

"Hello, Commander Hou, I am Wang Tao, the person who contacted you at the military base before. Thank you very much for your help!"

"Haha! Don't say any polite words. We survivors should help each other! I have prepared a place for you to rest. How about you let the 20,000 survivors settle down first?"

Although this was Hou Zhiyuan's territory, he did not act too tough, and even had a consultative tone towards Wang Tao and his party.

"Then thank you very much, Commander Hou!"

Naturally, Lan Yulian would not refuse.

After she agreed, Duan Xuchang began to open the doors of other carriages one by one.

Hou Zhiyuan immediately waved, and multiple military trucks drove over.

The survivors who got off the train were very excited, but also a little reserved. They subconsciously glanced at Lan Yulian and Wang Tao, and after seeing them nodding, they followed and got into the car. Before getting on the bus, another check was conducted to ensure that no one was carrying the zombie virus.

The eyes of those who were watching outside the train station shone brightly when they saw that there were so many survivors inside the train. But after seeing that these survivors were picked up by the people of the Third Army, most of them shook their heads and left with disappointed faces. Only a few people did not give up.

"I'm trying to get you newcomers to join the gang. Don't pay attention!"

Hou Zhiyuan waved his hand, then rubbed his temples.

"I am relieved to see that you are all back safely. But today the zombies have evolved and there have been some changes. I still have a lot of things to do. Let Duan Xuchang lead you to familiarize yourself with the base. These two I’ll take some time to treat you to dinner!”

"You're busy!"

Lan Yulian said quickly.

Hou Zhiyuan left in a rage.

As for the arrangements for everyone, he didn't go into details. He even failed to mention such a huge contribution to rescuing 20,000 people.

Wang Tao felt that Hou Zhiyuan must have sincerely wanted to help the Bauhinia Base when he sent troops to save so many people, but he must also have some goals of his own.

Now that he has arrived at Changhe Base and knows the general situation here, Wang Tao feels that Hou Zhiyuan may want these survivors to join their army!

If he really had this idea, Wang Tao wouldn't be disgusted. On the contrary, I was somewhat pleased to hear it. After all, this is equivalent to not only saving such a survivor, but also giving him a job! This is naturally a good thing!

"You guys, come with me!"

Duan Xuchang led Wang Tao and his group onto a minibus. There is a device in the car that detects impurities in the body, which should be specially prepared for Wang Tao and the others.

Everyone checked in turn and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, the vehicle slowly left the train station.

Seeing that Wang Tao and his group didn't even come out of the station, they just took the bus and left. The remaining people outside the train station sighed.

"Oh, there is no hope! We can't bring them into our organization now, and it will be even harder later!"

"This Third Army Corps is really nosy and can't let the survivors move freely!"

"Are you a fool? These survivors were obviously rescued by the Third Army! Do you think they will leave these hard-working survivors to your organization?"

"..."

"Is it possible that...the Third Army wants to absorb all these 20,000 people! They can eat it!"

"It shouldn't be enough to absorb them all. After all, there are assessments for joining these legions. They don't want everyone. But they definitely want to absorb some people... In the last operation, the Third Legion lost some people. , this time I guess I can replenish a wave of fresh blood..."

"Damn, why are we not so lucky! We have been outside for so many days and we haven't met many survivors. We also lost a lot of manpower last time. If we don't add more manpower, our organization will exist in name only... …”

"Hey! There are so many people in our base! There is no need for you to keep an eye on the newcomers!"

"Ahem, isn't it true that newcomers are cheap and easy to fool..."

…

…

"Freshly baked cockroach ointment! A must-have product for home and outings! Don't miss it when you pass by..."

"A short knife made from the claws of a third-level night devil, it blows hair, breaks hair, and cuts iron like clay! This is the only one in the base city! Sale with 30% discount!"

"There are only three finely decorated houses left near the University of Superpowers, available for rent or sale! First come, first served!"

“Juwu BBQ’s grand opening offer! Get as much as you charge!”

"The mutated rats that can fight with you have been trained, for the price!"

"..."

In the minibus, watching the survivors coming and going on the broad street, and listening to all kinds of strange hawking sounds, Lan Yulian sighed:

"This is what a real base looks like!"

Everyone nodded in sympathy.

Compared with other survivor bases, the biggest difference between Changhe Base is its popularity.

The bases they had stayed in before were simply "gathering places where survivors struggled to survive."

But now in Changhe Base City, it is not only a survivor base, but also a human society!

When in other bases, no matter how safe the base seems, they will not feel that it is truly safe in their hearts. They are all thinking about killing zombies, improving their strength, and surviving...

But after coming here, let alone a sense of security, the first thought in their minds now is not how to kill zombies to improve their strength, but how to live a good life in the base!

I used to think about survival, but now... I think about life!

Seeing everyone's exclamation, Duan Xuchang said loudly:

"There are many good places in the base city. You can go back and visit more. I believe you will like it here!"

"Thank you! But we already like it now..."

Lan Yulian sighed.

Duan Xuchang deliberately led a group of people around the street to feel the smell of fireworks in the base city, and then asked the driver to drive the car to an area protected by soldiers.

"This is one of the sites belonging to our Third Army. The families of some senior non-commissioned officers live here. We will temporarily arrange for you to live here, and you can move out at any time. However, I personally suggest that you wait until you are familiar with the base. After determining your future development direction, it’s not too late to move out..."

Listening to Duan Xuchang's words, Wang Tao raised his eyebrows.

"Future development direction? Do you think we have anything suitable?"

"Haha, of course I hope you can join our third legion! But I also know that this is unlikely... As for my suggestion, there is no suggestion for the time being. Because you outstanding superpowers come to the base Finally, the higher-ups will definitely give you some preferential treatment or something. You should wait and see what the specific situation is, and then consider what to do..."

Duan Xuchang explained with a smile.

He knew that generally those with powerful abilities were unwilling to join the army, because the army was a place with the strictest rules, even in the apocalypse.

After all, soldiers fight as a team, and they do not represent themselves, but a team. If one person has a problem, it may even affect the entire army! So it must be strict.

And for many people with superpowers, how can they do it if they finally have such powerful power and have to abide by such strict discipline?

Therefore, most people with special abilities are unwilling to join the army.

Of course, there are exceptions for those who are soldiers themselves, such as Wei Zhenguo and the others... Duan Xuchang really wants to recruit them.

However, Duan Xuchang just said that he had to see how the higher-ups were going to allocate Wang Tao and his people and what kind of treatment they would give them. Then he would see if he could get them to the Third Legion...

"Okay!"

Wang Tao smiled and nodded.

It must be said that Duan Xuchang was quite sincere. Wang Tao had a great impression of him and the entire Third Legion.

After Duan Xuchang took Wang Tao and his party on a brief tour of the room prepared for them, he said to them:

"Next, I will give you some common problems in the base city..."

A new volume has begun~

Today and tomorrow will be updated temporarily. I will sort out the following plot~
