The head of the base knelt down to the people from the base in City A, his straight waist was bent like decades old at this moment, his whole body seemed to collapse suddenly like a mountain, and something passed away on that skin.

Cheng Mengyun did not expect to see this scene.

A sense of discomfort welled up in her heart.

Although it's only been a few days since she entered the base in K city, due to her personality, she is not used to measuring her relationship with the base in K city in a tender way, let alone having a great sense of belonging. However, the K city base is undeniably a good trader. She sold her labor force in exchange for precious medicine and living conditions. Except that the K city base is a bit too exploitative of the labor force, it is generally good.

Seeing the symbol of the base in City K at this moment - the base chief kneeling in front of others, she suddenly felt a burst of shame.

She also felt the little girl in black who was holding her arm stiffen.

There are several sealed boxes next to the helicopter. Cheng Mengyun has seen this kind of packing box, which was used by his teammates when they packed the remains of baby mutants in the third hospital. She was still wondering how the entire K city base seemed to be seriously backward in technology, and how to study it when bringing back the second-tier zombie species.

Reminiscent of what the staff member in black told her before, and then related to the scene in front of her, it should be that the base in city A and the base in city K are negotiating on special medicines, and the collected second-order zombie species should also be one of the terms of the transaction. one?

The conversations of other onlookers around her also proved her guess.

"Why should we be affected by the birds of the base in City A! Then we don't want their special medicines, at most we just give up some people." The scene on the big lawn next to the old residential building attracted a lot of onlookers, one of them in black The man spoke angrily to the words above.

When Cheng Mengyun heard "giving up some people", his eyebrows twitched, and his face gradually turned cold.

The little girl in black beside her choked back earlier than her: "What you said is simple, why do you think the base must have a good relationship with the base in City A? If a special medicine with a healing effect is developed in the future, we will be the base of the base in City A." Friendly bases will definitely be given priority."

Other onlookers also retorted angrily.

"Give up some people for this reason today, and give up some people for that reason tomorrow. How do you know that you will not be abandoned in the future?"

"My friend fled thousands of miles from the base in the next city to our base in K City yesterday. She said that all the old people and children there were abandoned, and only the middle-aged laborers were allowed to stay. My friend saw countless old people and children being raped. Then she was thrown out of the base, and she herself was also thrown out because of her lameness, if it wasn't for her cleverness, she might have been fed to the zombies long ago."

"Oh, this kind of world... My brother fled to us from a small base in the north. He is a cook, and his skills are beyond words. He was assigned to help the back kitchen of the base. As a result, when he opened the refrigerator, he saw many I was so frightened that I left the base on the spot. It was only later that I found out that the small base made it difficult for the 'cumbersome' to survive."

The man's words caused the people around him to retch.

Many people shared their relatives and friends or their own real experience of staying in some nearby bases. There is also a magical big brother who went around in 3 bases and finally chose to settle in the K city base.

Cheng Mengyun didn't talk to the other survivors much. Her missions were arranged too tightly. When she came back from the missions, she suffered from serious physical sequelae due to excessive use of the "immortality" ability.

She also took this opportunity to chat with the bystanders.

When he learned that there are no good bases within a radius of 100 kilometers, and that the special medicines nearby only exist in the rich and powerful K City base, Cheng Mengyun suppressed his hidden worries.

And the negotiations on the lawn came to an end. The people at the base in city A waved their hands. Their faces were stern. The base chief was supported by the man in black beside him, and he watched them go away with a pale face.

The wind blades of the helicopter whipped up strong winds, driving the curly blades of grass on the lawn.

"Base chief, base chief!"

"How are you?"

After the crowd was uproarious, Cheng Mengyun saw the head of the base fainted on the ground clutching his forehead.

The wind blown by the helicopter brushed her hair, and she understood that the negotiation with the base in city A about special medicine just ended in failure.

A coldness from the bottom of my heart overwhelmed the pain in my body.

She turned and left without a pause, and her heart sank little by little.

She didn't forget what the black-clothed staff told her yesterday that the stocks of specific medicines in the entire base were only in single digits. What she needs now is to take a good rest, and then go out on missions to earn contribution points.

The following time seemed to be sped up, as expected by Cheng Mengyun, because the number of second-order zombies increased abnormally, and the casualty rate of the team of supernatural beings who went to clear the second-order species also increased.

Among them, the number of zombies infected has also increased sharply. The zombies caused by ordinary zombie bites take about 3 days, while the zombies caused by the second-order species are compressed to only 1 day, and individual mutants can even reach terrifying several days. Hour.

The demand for special medicines has surged. Although a certain number of second-order crystal nuclei have been collected during the mission, and the base has re-established a relationship with the base in City A, the special medicines are still in short supply.

Cheng Mengyun silently looked at the important notice on the bulletin board:

[The "Relevant Regulations on Obtaining the Priority Quota of Special Drugs Based on Contribution Points" was officially released]

[1. The operation related to the withdrawal of special medicines by loan is completely suspended, and only cash contribution points are allowed to be exchanged from tomorrow. 】

[2. When a critical situation occurs at the same time and the specific drug is insufficient, the patient or the patient's family will be used to determine which patient gets the priority quota for the specific drug. 】

[3. The base will start the ranking of contribution points. The list of the top 100 contributors will be posted on the bulletin board from now on, and the list will be updated at 12:00 every day. Among them, the "purchase order of special medicines" refers to the actual ranking of contribution points from high to low. 】

[...12. If you have any questions, please consult the front desk staff of the office building. 】

The noisy and arguing voices did not interfere with her thoughts, and she read carefully word by word among the hustle and bustle in front of the bulletin board.

At this time, her head was like countless bees piercing, and her internal organs seemed to still have the memory of each death. She forced herself to ignore those physical pains.

Seeing that her name was also at the bottom of the top 100, she squinted, her bloodless lips pursed slightly.

not enough.

This location is not enough.

Yinhua was still lying in a coma in the hospital, and the doctor judged that he was at risk of deterioration at any time. She understands that she must prepare enough contribution points.

After accepting the second-order seed task from that private school, she was assigned a new task of clearing the second-order seed by the base.

When the day's task of cleaning up mutants was completed, the moon was already climbing on the eaves, and she dragged her tired body to the deputy base chief who was still working late at night.

She said, "Please continue to assign me tasks."

She still remembered the disbelief in the eyes of the deputy base chief at that time.

The other party hurriedly took out the materials from the filing cabinet, put on his reading glasses and said: "Miss Cheng, you have been in the base for 6 days. You have performed 8 missions during this period, and they are all high-risk missions to clear the second-order species. The base. The assignment of tasks is based on everyone's ability as much as possible. Are you really sure you want to continue accepting tasks?"

The deputy commander looked at the pale girl in front of her, her hair was neatly combed into a high ponytail, revealing her gloomy eyes.

Even though the person in front of him was a big living person, the deputy base commander fought a cold war.

The opponent's ability is extremely special, so after analysis, the staff in the base agreed that she would flow in various teams as a temporary member, in order to maximize the effect of the opponent's ability.

The effect is very strong. When the death rate of other teams climbed to 30%, the death rate of the team with her was stabilized below 10%, and it was even amazing that there were no casualties!

They also routinely inquired about the process of task execution by the power users in order to register them. However, unexpectedly, all the power users who have teamed up with the opponent tend to have the same evaluation of her:

Crazy.

The way to fight with the second-order species is completely deadly, and sometimes the legs are broken and they are still trying to kill zombies. She can basically always attract the attention of zombies at critical moments, achieving the effect of a fatal blow in the entire process of clearing the second-order species. The superpowers had different expressions when they recalled the scene. Many people showed fear on their faces. The deputy head of the base still remembered one of them saying nervously:

"Fortunately, she is my companion, not the zombie opposite."

The deputy director looked at Cheng Mengyun's swaying body because of his lack of energy, and said worriedly: "I understand Miss Cheng, you are eager to earn contribution points, but you also need to consider your own physical condition. A new mission?"

Cheng Mengyun pressed her eyebrows, she knew that the other party's words were meant to take care of her. At this moment, the whistling of the mutant species she met today was still echoing in her ears, and the reverberation sounded like a beam that disturbed her mood. Hearing the other party's ramble, she rarely let out a trace of anger.

"I'm sure. Since I'm short of contribution points and the base lacks the manpower to clean up the second-order species, don't waste time talking about it here, please assign a new task immediately," she said in a very cold tone, "if the base is really Understand me, then find a way to increase the number of special drugs."

After speaking, looking at the deputy head of the base who was too embarrassed to speak, Cheng Mengyun felt a little regretful. She must have not had a good rest recently, so she had a bad temper and said such hurtful words.

She knows that the K city base has been working hard to communicate with the A city base in terms of special medicines. The number of outings has surged in the past few days. Correspondingly, the office building is also brightly lit these days until dawn, and all the staff are sleep-deprived. In addition, considering the large-scale production in the base, the expansion of the staff is relatively slow.

The deputy head of the base has been working all night for 3 days, and the work at hand has not stopped.

Cheng Mengyun looked at the haggard face of the deputy base chief, she was sure that her tone was very heavy just now, and she was interrupted by the other party before she could finish her apology.

The deputy head of the base said guiltily, his voice was gentle: "Miss Cheng, you are right, it is because the base has not done enough to make your abilities so hard. The base is actively exchanging opinions with City A, You can rest assured that the base will not voluntarily give up any life that can survive."

Cheng Mengyun was noncommittal, she just walked into the boundless night after receiving the information of the new mission.

Every day, she must find time to visit Yinhua after the task is over. Every time she goes there, Yinhua always falls asleep quietly on the hospital bed.

Only the heaving chest still showed that he was alive.

Yinhua's condition was always repeated, the black lines sometimes advanced a little to the chin, and sometimes slowly retreated under the collarbone.

She heard the doctor explain that it was a battle between autoimmunity and a zombie infection.

No one can say when he will wake up. Or never wake up.

At this time, some people with mild infection symptoms in the central hospital were discharged after stable condition, and some people with supernatural abilities continued to devote themselves to going out.

Every day when she was at the bedside, she could occasionally hear cheers from people outside the door, which meant that the patient who was in a drowsy state woke up and turned into a zombie and entered a stable state; They parted ways.

In the sound of half crying and half laughing, she looked forward to the cheers from herself.

But what was waiting was a long silence, and the rustling sound of the ivy outside the window was blown by the wind.

At the end of the 30-minute visit, she pushed open the door of the ward and brushed past the "person" who was covered in white cloth today.

She has gradually become accustomed to the pain that came over her body, and at this time she is only speeding up her steps to the gate of the base.

She was looking forward to a delusion that she didn't know when she could come true in the long wait.

Perhaps it was the burden and difficulty of the task, as well as the unspoken distress in her heart, the little girl in black became her rare friend. Cheng Mengyun often chatted with the little girl in black when she returned to the base. A good listener is also an excellent teller.

In addition to having a good temper, it is also interesting to say some boring things through the mouth of the other party. Cheng Mengyun was often made to laugh by her, except sometimes when the other party showed excessive admiration for the ability person and his own humility in front of the ability person, Cheng Mengyun would be so angry that smoke above his head, black. The little girl is a nice person.

"There is good news, Sister Mengyun!" The little girl in black saw Cheng Mengyun eating in the cafeteria, and she hurriedly sat down with the meal, "After many days of hard work in the base, an important progress has finally been reached with the transaction in City A. , the other party has already planned to allocate some new special medicines!"

"It's so good." Cheng Mengyun showed a sincere smile that was rare in the past few days. She smiled so much that her brows and eyes were curved, and her pale face seemed to have a lot of complexion.

The number of special medicines has increased, which means that the probability that she can get it increases.

In this way, the K city base is really doing its best in other aspects except for the task arrangement. Whether it is internal management or material scheduling, it is guaranteed. The most basic daily meals and the tide of zombies these days are all resisted. well done. Yinhua in the hospital was also well taken care of.

Besides, there are no other very safe bases around, so it seems that staying at the base in K City is a good choice.

and many more.

She stopped scooping the porridge, her brain dulled by the throbbing pain. In the past few days, I don't know if the ability has been on the verge of exhaustion too many times. Her body always has the pain of previous death, as if her body is engraving the memory of each death.

wrong.

She calmly scooped up another spoonful of porridge, restraining her right hand that was trembling slightly and wanted to hang down. It had been bitten by a long-mouthed mutant the day before.

Obviously at the beginning, she was full of vigilance about the K city base, and she would write down possible escape routes when she went out on missions.

Why does she have the idea of staying now?
