Chapter 20: The Heart of People in the Apocalypse 11

After the convoy stopped in the open space in front of the base, the military trucks loaded with various supplies entered the base through a separate entrance. The survivors, on the other hand, had to line up to enter the base and register their personal information.

At this time, a soldier used a loudspeaker to explain the situation. To prevent survivors from carrying the zombie virus, they had to undergo an inspection and stay in an isolation room for one night before they could officially become members of the base. Only after becoming a member of the base could they receive the food provided by the base to survivors.

This measure naturally caused dissatisfaction. They originally thought that after going through many difficulties in this cold weather and arriving at a safe base, they would receive spring-like care. Unexpectedly, they were met with winter-like indifference. However, facing the armed forces, they eventually accepted the arrangement.

They were not allowed to drive their vehicles into the base. They could only park them at the entrance and carry their luggage inside. Fortunately, apart from taking a third of their food, the base did not take anything else, which was somewhat comforting.

Lou Ling and the others observed the base and found that tall walls made of reinforced concrete had been built around it. The walls were about five meters high, topped with electrified wire mesh, and equipped with surveillance cameras at intervals, ensuring security for the time being.

The registration process was fast, and it was soon Lou Ling's turn. She noticed that the staff gave them a very simple form, with only lines for name, gender, and ability. After the apocalypse, no one cared about your birthplace or hometown anymore. It was very simple, no wonder the process was so fast. Lou Ling filled in her name and gender, and in the ability column, she simply wrote "ordinary person". Lou Dian, on the other hand, decisively filled in "space ability user". The others also filled in their abilities without hesitation.

The staff member at the entrance saw the filled-in abilities and said, "Ability users and ordinary people are separated. You can come this way. If you have family members, you can bring them along." The last part was added when he saw Lou Ling, Huang Zhiling, and Chen Jialuo, the three ordinary people.

Naturally, everyone had no objection. Then they handed over their food. The food in the space could not be touched, so they handed over the food in the car. The staff member didn't say anything, probably thinking that the space of the ability users in the early stages was not large and couldn't hold much food, or maybe the base wanted to have a good relationship with the ability users.

Then the group followed a staff member of the base to a row of houses not far from the entrance. Soldiers in military overcoats stood guard in front of the houses, armed with guns, so that they could respond in time if anything happened inside.

The staff member first took them to a larger house for inspection. Men and women were separated, and several medical staff checked them for zombie bites. Although this group of people was escorted by the army, they still had to go through the procedure. Naturally, the people who examined Lou Ling and the others were all women. However, it was cold, and having to take off their clothes until only their underwear remained was a bit much. But to stay at the base, they had to accept this kind of thing, so although some people complained for a while, they finally accepted it.

As soon as Lou Ling came out after the inspection, she saw Lou Dian and the others already waiting at the door. Everyone hurriedly walked towards them. Lou Dian also took the opportunity to hold her hand and put her cold hand into his pocket. The others had already witnessed Lou Dian's excessive behavior of wanting to protect his sister in his palm and didn't even bat an eyelid.

Lin Baobao put her cold hand into her pocket and followed behind the two, looking at them with some envy. She wondered if she should find a gentle man who was the same on the inside and outside. Then she felt a little lost. It was the end of the world, and people's hearts were fickle. Where could she find such a man? It was hard to find before the apocalypse, let alone after the cruel apocalypse.

After the inspection, the staff member took them to an empty room not far away. There were eight bunk beds in the room. The quilts on the beds were as thin as spring quilts and couldn't keep people warm at all. However, the staff member also explained that the base didn't have many supplies, so everyone should make do for one night. Tomorrow, after they chose their own houses, they could go and exchange for winter supplies.

Lin Baobao asked with a sweet and bright smile, "Brother, are there any requirements if we want to find a better house in the base?"

Lin Baobao's baby face was very approachable and looked as cute as the girl next door. It was easy to make people feel good about her. In addition, there were five ability users in this group. Out of goodwill, the staff member explained very enthusiastically, "You are ability users, don't worry. The base provides some houses for ability users to live in. Ability users can exchange food or accept tasks arranged by the base to obtain the right to use the houses."

If they exchanged food, fifty kilograms of rice could be exchanged for one month's stay, and one hundred kilograms for two months. If they didn't want to exchange food, they could accept tasks from the base. As for the content of the tasks, the base would explain it when the time came. It was nothing more than cleaning up zombies and collecting supplies.

By the time all this was done, it was already dark. Then a few more ability users were brought in. Based on the number of people, there were eight bunk beds in one room, a total of sixteen beds, which meant that eighteen ability users had to be crammed in. As for the family members of the ability users, they were taken care of by the ability users themselves. This was the preferential treatment given to ability users by the base. If they were ordinary people, forty or fifty people would be crammed into one room, and there would be no beds to sleep in. They would have to sit on the ground.

Lou Ling automatically came to a conclusion in her heart. So she, an ordinary person, was now a dependent of Lou Dian, and she could get half a bed because of Lou Dian's ability. Damn it, this was discrimination! She really wanted to curse!

It was cold, and everyone was in low spirits. They didn't want to socialize, so they simply ate some biscuits for dinner and went to bed. Of course, before going to bed, Lin Baobao once again used her ability to let everyone rinse their mouths and wash their faces. It was convenient to have a water ability user in the team.

Lou Dian chose an upper bunk. The male god did another very male god thing. He directly rolled up the quilt and mat on the bed, then took out his own mat and quilt from his space and spread them out before letting Lou Ling sit on it. The others saw this scene and their eyes flickered slightly. Lin Baobao and the others also had black lines on their faces. They didn't expect this man to have a cleanliness obsession and actually use his limited space to store these messy things.

Even with limited conditions, Lou Dian had to create conditions to make it comfortable. As the final beneficiary, Lou Ling felt a little ashamed, touched and warm. She squeezed onto the single bed that was about one meter wide with him, touched his face, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you."

Lou Dian's response was to directly press her down for a suffocating long kiss, taking away all her gratitude. She curled up in his arms and fell asleep.

Although the others didn't bring quilts, they also brought several thick clothes and sheets in their luggage. Coupled with the down jackets they were wearing, they didn't feel cold.

The next day, after coming out of the isolation room, everyone's faces looked a little bad. They had all been woken up by the sudden cold current in the middle of the night.

Compared to them, the Lou siblings looked very rosy and healthy, so healthy that it made people jealous.

Xi Mufeng looked at Lou Ling, his eyes a little gloomy, then looked at the girl beside him and said to Wei Xian, "It seems that we have to go and exchange for some quilts and the like."

In the middle of the night, the temperature suddenly dropped again. Now, the problem facing human survival was the harsh winter. If there were not enough warm clothes, maybe many people would freeze to death in the first winter after the apocalypse.

After leaving the isolation room, under the guidance of the staff, they went directly to the Ability User Hall in the center of the safe base to register and find a house. Naturally, there were also houses for ordinary people, but they were much worse than those for ability users. They were directly taken to a residential area to live with other ordinary people.

Lou Ling's eyes suddenly stopped, looking at the old man and the little girl who were tripped to the ground. The ones who bullied them were two big men.

Lou Dian and Lin Baobao, who were walking beside her, also quickly discovered this. Lin Baobao immediately became angry. "Damn it, are you still human? Are you proud of bullying the elderly and children?" As she spoke, she rushed over and kicked one of the big men in the crotch.

The big man screamed in pain, covered his lower body and curled up on the ground.

When Lin Baobao rushed over, Lou Ling also ran over and helped Grandpa Mo and Mo Yingying up. She found that Grandpa Mo's hand was skinned and the blood flowing out of his hand was quickly solidified by the cold space. She hurriedly took out a towel from her backpack, wrapped it around Grandpa Mo's hand, and asked Mo Yingying to help her grandfather press the wound. Then she looked at Lin Baobao, who was fighting with one of the big men.

After gaining abilities, the ability users' physical fitness was also enhanced. It was a pity that Lin Baobao's ability was water, which was not very lethal. She fought entirely on a burst of angry momentum and was soon slapped in the face by the big man, sending her flying to the ground.

Lou Ling hurriedly helped Lin Baobao up. Seeing the big man rushing over, her eyes narrowed. She pulled out the Tang sword from her waist and hit his arm with the back of the sword, forcing him to retreat. Then she took advantage of the situation and grabbed his arm, throwing him over her shoulder. At this time, Lin Baobao also stood up, jumped over, and stomped on his crotch. A scream rang out.

Seeing this scene, the men who were originally watching indifferently felt a chill in their lower bodies and subconsciously wanted to cover their balls.

Xi Mufeng, Chen Kaiwei, and the others also felt their scalps tingle. They realized that they had underestimated these two women when they were at school. They cooperated so seamlessly and were too ruthless. On the other hand, it was as if a new world had been opened up for Huang Zhiling. Her eyes were shining as she stared at the two of them. At the same time, she decided that she wanted to learn close combat from Lou Ling. They were both ordinary people. Since Lou Ling could do it, she didn't believe that she couldn't.
