The post-apocalyptic world has a space full of supplies.

Chapter 53 Crisis at the Safe Base

The air raid siren was coming from the direction of the safe base. They were quite far away and could only hear it faintly. It seemed that the base had probably also been attacked by animals.

Qin Yuan and Lin Yun wanted to return to the base for rescue, but they saw swarms of mosquitoes and birds outside the window, and various snakes, insects, rodents, and ferocious beasts on the ground. Even in the corridor outside the door, through the peephole, they could see various snakes and mosquitoes that had crawled in from the rooms downstairs coming out of the emergency exit.

They were completely trapped in the room.

At that time, the city's central hospital, where the G City security base was located, was also surrounded by animals. Around seven o'clock in the morning, all sorts of animals appeared out of nowhere, squeezing into the security base through various pipes and gaps. Some were even thrown in from the air by large birds.

The leaders of the G Province Epidemic Prevention and Control Headquarters were in a panic because they had just seen the emergency prevention and control notice sent by Beijing at 5:00 a.m. on the local intranet. However, because the person on duty yesterday had left early, they only saw the notice now, and it was too late to make any preparations.

After talking with Pei Sihao and the others yesterday, Pei Simin in Beijing immediately arranged for hundreds of drones to search the entire city. They discovered various animals being raised by the zombies. The reason for this was unknown, but even the mosquitoes only moved within that area.

Upon seeing this, Pei Simin immediately issued an emergency notice to all provinces and cities to prepare for animal attacks. Sure enough, the zombie horde, having discovered the drones, quickly organized animal attacks within just a few hours. They still don't know how the zombies communicate, but this coordinated animal attack did indeed erupt simultaneously across China.

Pei Simin was so busy that he even forgot to inform his younger brother. Fortunately, his second brother, Pei Siji, made a satellite phone call to inform Pei Sihao in time, otherwise the seven of them would have been dead in that suite.

In the G City command center, Commander Wang Qiang only received the urgent notification from the provincial command center after the animal attacks broke out. He was frustrated and helpless. He could only grit his teeth and organize the soldiers in the base to fight back. Some of the soldiers also had to be assigned to protect the provincial command center. He was truly furious.

However, this is the second time the entire G City security base has united to defend the base since building the defensive wall to withstand the second viral rain. Everyone in the base, young and old, with combat capabilities, came out to help. Fortunately, the survivors who were scratched and bitten by the animals did not instantly turn into zombies, which is enough to determine that the animals do not currently carry the zombie virus. This is the only lucky thing in this "war".

Compared to Lu Yuan and his group, who were guarding a wildlife park, the safe base was undoubtedly lucky. The area near the city center hospital was a newly built residential area with a low occupancy rate. Since the zombies in G City had not migrated on a large scale since the outbreak of the virus, the animals that the zombies gathered in each area of ​​G City were mainly from the surrounding areas, unlike the exaggerated situation in Beijing where almost all of them gathered together.

Apart from a few snakes, insects, rats, and ants, most of these animals were domesticated cats and dogs. When they saw that there were more people attacking, their momentum weakened. Some of them were even used to being domesticated, and with just a little bit of jerky, they gave up their frenzied biting and became cuddly.

Under Wang Qiang's command, the security base quickly turned on the mosquito repellent equipment and organized the soldiers to catch snakes and rats. By the time the writing was done in the afternoon, the situation was basically under control.

To avoid further surprise attacks, Wang Qiang led several squads of soldiers to check the drains in each office building, and also assigned a few more reliable cadres to organize other surviving citizens to take protective measures in their rooms.

This battle earned Wang Qiang even more recognition in the base. The survivors in the base almost all followed his lead, while the people in the provincial command center were frequently given the cold shoulder in the base.

That night, after visiting the survivors and soldiers injured in the counterattack that day, Wang Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief upon returning to his office. He was already in his forties, and since the crisis broke out, unlike other leaders at the base who, after the base stabilized, always demanded that their families be found and brought back to the base whenever the supply teams went out.

Wang Qiang didn't make any requests, so to this day he still doesn't know if his wife and daughter are still alive or where they are. Sometimes when he's tired, he can only stay in the break room next to his office and stare blankly at the photos on his phone.

He didn't know why he suddenly took on such a huge responsibility. This was the safety base for the entire G city. If it weren't for this responsibility, he would have rushed out to find his family long ago.

He turned off his phone and returned to his desk. Today, he had taken the only computer from the provincial command center that could access the national intranet and began reporting today's defense work and the performance of his superiors to Beijing.

It is possible that similar incidents have occurred in many prefecture-level cities. The Beijing Municipal Government's response to Wang Qiang's report was to allow the G City Command Center to take over the computers on the local area network and be responsible for forwarding Beijing's notifications to other contactable and secure bases in G Province.

Around 8 p.m., Lu Yuan and his group had just finished observing the animals around the hotel and were about to sit down to eat when Pei Sihao received a satellite phone call from his older brother, Pei Simin.

Having confirmed his younger brother's safety, Pei Simin breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the animals that attacked this time did not carry the zombie virus, and they did not seem to have been properly tamed by zombies. Some of these domestic pets had no fighting ability whatsoever and were quickly taken over. Suddenly, the safety bases in various locations received a batch of animals delivered to their doorsteps.

Seeing Qin Yuan and Lin Yun's anxious eyes, Pei Sihao also inquired about the situation at the G City security base. Just then, Wang Qiang's report was finished being reviewed, so Pei Sihao briefly told them about it. After listening, they even felt that the situation at the base was much better than theirs, since there were still several African lions patrolling downstairs in their hotel.

Pei Sihao didn't fully reveal his current situation. Pei Simin only said that he would contact them again in about two days and arrange for a helicopter to come and rescue them. He told them not to wander around and to stay in their rooms if necessary.

Pei Sihao and the others readily agreed that as long as the animals downstairs remained safe, they would obediently stay in their room and await rescue from Beijing.

In fact, Lu Yuan, Qin Yuan, and Lin Yun were just like them, unsure whether to go to Beijing. But since they couldn't return to the safe base in G City now, they could only go along and see what happened.
