C15 The Tide of Corpses Arrived

The two of them looked at each other. The man in black just left and the elevator came again? Trouble came one after another, catching the two of them off guard.

"Ding." The LED screen next to the elevator flashed to the current floor. The two of them stared at the elevator door. Time seemed to have stopped in an instant. The two of them seemed to have heard their own heartbeats. It could be imagined how nervous the two of them were.

Finally, the elevator doors slowly opened. A familiar figure walked out from inside. Along the way, many people walked out from behind. There were about a dozen of them altogether.

"Officer Lee." The person who came was obviously the middle-aged man with the surname Li beside Elder Qiu. Behind him were several soldiers.

"Fortunately, the two of you are safe and sound." When Officer Lee saw the two of them, his expression relaxed a lot.

"Officer Lee, did something happen outside?" Chen Chen asked.

Officer Lee looked at the spider remains behind them and his expression became serious again.

"I never thought that there would be a monster here as well." Officer Lee frowned. "About ten minutes ago, a large number of infected people were found outside the base. Casualties began to appear. Elder Qiu ordered the relocation of the crowd. There is a secret passage from the basement to the outside of the base. There is a stronghold outside the base. We have deployed guards, but it seems like the stronghold has been destroyed. Otherwise, this monster wouldn't have come in. "

"Then now... what can we do?" Chen Chen frowned when he heard what Officer Lee said.

"In this case, you may be the two strongest people in the right side of the base. You guys go up first. Elder Qiu is up there. You guys follow by his side. Listen to Elder Qiu. " Officer Lee furrowed his brows. He couldn't think of any good ideas.

"Officer Lee, I want to ask you something else." Chen Chen nodded and stared at Officer Lee.

"Hmm? What is it?" Officer Lee nodded.

"Someone just told me that there is a BOSS in the city a few hundred kilometers away. Most of the combat strength in Nanxia Province is there. Is that true?" Chen Chen spoke clearly, word by word, for fear that Officer Lee would not be able to hear him clearly.

"Who did you hear that from?" Officer Lee's expression suddenly became very serious.

"A person carrying a long spear, dressed in black." Chen Chen revealed the appearance of the man in black. There was no good relationship between him and the man in black, so there was no need to cover it up for him.

"Lin Qiu, it really is him!" Officer Lee gritted his teeth. "This matter is indeed true."

"Then why?" Chen Chen was about to ask the answer, but Officer Lee did not answer.

"Go and ask Elder Qiu." Finally, Officer Lee said that and sent the two of them to the elevator. He had to lead the soldiers to clear the way for people who did not have combat ability.

The elevator had been modified. Not only was it heavy, it was also much faster. In the blink of an eye, it was transported from the basement to the ground.

"Come, hurry up." A soldier called two people out of the elevator. Behind him were countless people. Most of them were women and children. Each of them had a certain degree of fear on their faces. Even the children were no longer as lively as they usually were. They were all waiting obediently.

After the first batch of people entered the elevator, the two of them asked the soldiers where Elder Qiu was.

"Mayor Qiu should be at the second line of defense. Both of you should go. The first line of defense is about to be breached by the corpse tide. Many of our brothers are injured." The soldier also had a worried look on his face.

The two of them rushed towards the line of defense. Along the way, they could hear the sound of artillery fire. Smoke filled the air, but the two of them had yet to arrive at the location of the battle. It could be imagined how intense the battle was.

"Elder Qiu." Chen Chen finally saw Elder Qiu. There were several soldiers standing beside Elder Qiu. In front of him were Type 95 light machine guns, the most commonly used machine guns in the military of Huaxia. It seemed that this second line of defense was also the last line of defense. The arrangement of this line of defense was very reasonable around a Type 95 light machine gun. There were also several Type 95 automatic rifles, which seemed to be the main firepower of a Type 95 light machine gun. As for heavy weapons like cannons, there were no such weapons. It seemed that the armed forces were extremely limited.

"Report, the first defense line is in urgent need. The ammunition supply is running low. There are less than 10 grenades left, only 100 comrades left. The main force of the corpse tide is less than 100 meters away from the first defense line." A soldier rushed out from the smoke and reported to Elder Qiu.

"No matter what happens, we have to defend it with all our might. The people have just begun to retreat. We have to fight for at least an hour to get most of the people to move and call the men from the first defense line back. We have to defend the second defense line. "Elder Qiu frowned, although the second defense line has enough supplies. He was not sure if he could defend the second line of defense for an hour.

"Elder Qiu." Chen Chen walked to Elder Qiu's side.

"Ah! It's the two of you!" Elder Qiu saw Chen Chen and Fatty. This could be said to be a calming agent. "How is it? Have you recovered?"

"I got a reply. Fatty, you go and help the people in the front row retreat first." Chen Chen nodded at Fatty. He was going to talk to Elder Qiu himself.

"Little Chen, you..." Elder Qiu saw Chen Chen's behavior and hesitated for a moment. He still let the people around him retreat. "You guys go and see how the deployment is going."

"Little Chen, what do you want? Just say it. The front line is urgent." Elder Qiu asked Chen Chen after the people around him left.

"Elder Qiu, someone called Lin Qiu told me just now. In the city a few hundred kilometers away, most of the forces in Nanxia Province are focused on fighting a BOSS..." Chen Chen repeated what Lin Qiu told him.

A drop of sweat rolled down Elder Qiu's forehead as if he was thinking. After thinking for half a minute, he said, "Indeed, that's right. Lin Qiu was right."

"Then why did you waste your troops on the search and rescue? You know that. If the boss is not taken care of, no matter how many people you save, as long as the boss is still alive, the twelve bases in Nanxia Province will be destroyed one by one. As you said, the base has already taken in 120,000 people. I think that people can't even take care of three meals a day, let alone protect them. Not many of the teams you sent out to search and rescue came back alive, right? "Chen Chen is a smart man, Lin Qiu said. Lin Qiu talked to him. He had never made it clear that he wanted to think of a way to survive in the apocalypse himself. Chen Chen also understood that part of Elder Qiu's words were praising the right and demolishing the right and the left. To put it bluntly, the left party used offense as a defense, hoping that the twelve bases would become a joint operation. In the face of survival, they could join forces, while Elder Qiu's right side only defended with defense. Stabilizing and self-sealing, and searching and saving, thinking about it carefully, would be the end of Fancy. It had been half a month, and there were very few people who did not go to the base to live. Going out to search and rescue was nothing more than seeking death. For someone like Officer Jiang to encounter Chen Chen and Fatty like this, it was probably a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

"Little Chen, you are too young. You don't understand at all!" Elder Qiu said in a somewhat flustered and exasperated manner. "The people are the foundation of the government."

"Elder Qiu, you know better than me. At this point in time... Monsters are running amok in the outside world, and the world is falling apart. We should be considering how to preserve the tinder and how to survive from the perspective of human beings. From a certain point of view, I agree with what that Lin Qiu said. " Chen Chen said firmly. "Elder Qiu, thank you for curing my injuries. After dealing with the corpse tide, I will head to the boss' place. I can't protect so many people by myself, so I can only follow the most feasible method. "

At this moment, Elder Qiu seemed to have aged ten years. He looked at the young man in front of him, and his eyes revealed a faint sadness.

"Little Chen, perhaps what you said is right. Let me tell you the truth. Nanxia Province had established a main city base in Nanxia City, which was directly under the jurisdiction of Nanxia Province. It had taken in nearly three million people. This is the base that all the resources in Nanxia Province have built after the end of the world. It is unbreakable. However, it was clear that the base could only take in about 100,000 people at most. It would not take in more people. The remaining eight bases had close to a million people. This meant that the million people were going to face death. Lin Qiu was from there, and he had been recruiting mutants. The superpowered people in the base have long been recruited by him. Only Xiao Li is still with me. " Elder Qiu took a deep breath. "I think in this doomsday, no one can only protect themselves. I can't allow myself to live because of the so-called survival. That's why I'm trying so hard to protect this base. The left and right sects that I told you earlier were actually only left with the right sects. This only happened after Officer Jiang left. All the conditions that he told you are invalid. If you want to leave after the corpse tide is settled... Elder Qiu won't let you live. You have to remember that each of your mutants is the last hope of mankind in this apocalyptic world to fight Fancy. Perhaps you shouldn't have come to protect ordinary people, but let ordinary people follow you. Elder Qiu was right. Elder Qiu might just be old. He must be old and muddle-headed."

When Chen Chen heard what Elder Qiu said, his heart twitched violently. That's right. It was the end of the world. Everyone was probably trying to protect themselves. There were too few people like Elder Qiu, which made everyone think that Elder Qiu was wrong.
