Chapter 123 - I Am Legend

But in the Apocalypse, good people often didn't have good outcomes. In the last life, Jiang Yuanshan raised a supercilious ingrate, that ingrate used his influence to gather most of the Warriors and materials from Shu Prefecture and left to seek refuge with B Base, leaving behind all the old and infirm. Before long, Shu Prefecture Base was destroyed in a zombie tide.

When Lei Chuan and Guo Zerui received the news and rushed over, the Shu Prefecture Base had become ruins.

Based on what time period it was, that ingrate should now be on his way to B Base and Jiang Yuanshan should now have a troublesome headache. Their arrival was tantamount to timely relief.

Bai Mo Han had already arrived at B Base by the first meteorite rain, and he'd holed up in laboratory, he knew nothing about the outside world. Zhou Yun Sheng rummaged for half a day in his memories and didn't find anything about Shu Prefecture Base, but he didn't ask more questions.

There were three reborn people in the car, they naturally knew what they were doing.

———————–

With the defense satellite navigation and the heavy armored trucks, the team arrived at Shu Prefecture Base in a quick and uneventful manner.

At this time period, the Shu Prefecture Base could be regarded as one of the most well-equipped bases in China, but there was a fatal flaw- it was located at the junction of three large cities with populations in the millions, so every two weeks or so, they suffered from a zombie tide. But the base was converted barracks with very advanced and firm fortifications, so they persisted through each impact.

Jiang Yuanshan was an old commander that was stationed there for decades, he was reluctant to move bases. The ingrate knew that, so as the zombies kept evolving and it got harder to hold down the base, he convinced a group of Warriors to leave with him.

The protagonist was reborn, which meant that while the others were formatted, the protagonist kept his data file, once he started practicing again, his strength shot up like a rocket. It's only been a month or two from his rebirth, but Lei Chuan was now a peak level-7 Warrior, killing zombies was as easy as chopping vegetables for him.

Everyone was afraid of the zombie tide, but for him, it was a gateway to resources. As long as he rained down lightning, he could harvest tens of thousands of crystal nucleus for his team to enhance their strength, why wouldn't he welcome zombie tides?

So for him, there was no better place than Shu Prefecture Base. Even when the zombies eventually leveled up, he had the confidence that he would acquire meteorite glass and other building materials and completely modify the base by then.

The gatekeeping soldiers asked for their origins before welcoming them in. The Old Chief had lost a lot of his hair because of the stress these past few days, so when he saw Lei Chuan and Guo Zerui, it was like seeing his own sons, he embraced the two while in tears.

"You're arrival is too timely! I was readying to protect the base." The Old Chief patted the pistol on his waist, if he couldn't keep the base, he'd decided to leave the last bullet for himself, he was absolutely unwilling to become a zombie monster.

Over the past few days, he'd dismissed all the survivors who were healthy and mobile, leaving behind most of the old, ill, women and children, and his loyal subordinates.

"We heard that you were here, so we came directly to you. When the zombie tide hits, we have plenty brothers and weapons to take it out." Guo Zerui patted his chest in pride, causing the Old Chief to laugh, he glanced at Zhou Yun Sheng, who was obviously not a solider, and asked curiously, "This is?"

Lei Chuan's huge spiritual force had already covered the entire base, he knew that no one was eavesdropping on the room, he wrapped the man in his arms and smiled, "This is Dr. Bai Mo Han. Chief, you have to give the doctor a lab."

Jiang Yuanshan clutched his chest, his heart was about to spasm. In the past, he had no idea who Bai Mo Han was, but at the very beginning of the Apocalypse, before the television networks were completely destroyed, some scientists had predicted in an interview that in all of China's medical scientists, only Dr. Bai Mo Han was capable of developing an Anti-zombie virus vaccine, because he was the leader in the biomedical field, and with his talent, he could rank in the world's top three biomedical scientists. The medical scientists comparable to him were already well advanced in years, they simply couldn't survive the Apocalypse's destruction.

In other words, Bai Mo Han was probably now the only hope of mankind.

And that hope was now sitting in his simple, 15-square-metre small room, the room was even littered with a few pairs of stinky socks. Jiang Yuanshan really didn't know what expression to make. He took a few deep breaths, then vigorously shook Dr. Bai's hand in tears, saying 'welcome savior' non-stop.

Lei Chuan's expression turned livid, he pulled the Old Chief's hand away and observed the doctor's red hands, he was immediately distressed.

"Chief, the doctor has a frail body, don't touch him so roughly."

"Ah, sorry, I won't do that again." Jiang Yuanshan immediately accepted the fact that the doctor was frail. Those engaged in scientific research were generally feeble like chickens, he could understand.

Zhou Yun Sheng waved his concerns away and asked, "Do you have a lab in your base?"

"Yes there is, I'll take you there." The Old Chief quickly stood up.

The group walked to the West turret and looked around at the shabby, containing only a few beakers and a few lamps, 'laboratory', they were silent.

They were disgraced. They didn't expect that after so many years, the Old Chief was still so unreliable. Lei Chuan silently face palmed.

Guo Zerui looked up at heaven.

Old head also realized the awkwardness, he rubbed his palms, embarrassed.

Zhou Yun Sheng didn't mind, he waved, "This doesn't matter, Rome wasn't built in a day. Instruments can be collected, talent can be recruited. Everything will turn out all right."

The Old Chief didn't think that Dr. Bai's temper would be so mild, his approval of him broke through the horizon, he immediately promised, "Doctor, tell me what kind of instruments you need. I'll send the boys out to collect the goods."

"Okay, I'll give you some drawings later, you can collect them according to the drawings. Even damaged instruments don't matter, I can always repair them." Zhou Yun Sheng walked out of the laboratory and calmly opened, "You should have computers right? I'll set up a control room, it should improve the base's safety."

The original monitoring room was located outside the barracks and had long been destroyed, the Old Chief didn't understand how Dr. Bai could set up a monitoring room, but he still took him to the computer room.

Zhou Yun Sheng placed several satellite signal receivers outside the computer room and began to the invade satellite systems. If it was peacetime, he absolutely wouldn't be so blatant, but now the country's infrastructure had been destroyed and mankind had spontaneously condensed into small, scattered bases. The satellites in space had become unowned objects, those with the ability were free to use them.

Half an hour later, Jiang Yuanshan clutched his heart and gasped, almost collapsing on the spot.

Zhou Yun Sheng pointed to the row of computers, "This image is the astronomical satellite, there are a few small meteorite groups approaching the Earth, when the meteorites are about to rain, the screen will flash red, so you should have people constantly monitoring it. That way, we'll have ample time to find shelter."

"This is a surveillance image of the nearby area, it detects if a zombie tide is forming and issues an alarm."

"This is a picture of the meteorological satellite, when there are extreme weather formations like heavy rain, drought, hail and so on, there will be a corresponding sign in the lower left corner. This monitoring room is very important, it needs to be staffed 24/7."

Jiang Yuanshan repeatedly nodded, his expression excited. No wonder others say scientists were necessary for armies, before, he'd scoffed at this statement, but now he really believe it. Dr. Bai's arrangement was equivalent to having clairvoyance, they could predict most of the disasters and prepare in advance. This advantage alone was enough to make the base survive.

Amazing! He leaned over and stared at the row of computers that kept changing images, his eyes moist.

With this monitoring room, the base's safety factor suddenly increased countless times. When the meteorites rained, everyone hid underground, they was never any casualties. When a zombie tide was forming, the Warriors trapped the road and effortlessly nipped the danger in the bud. Shu Prefecture Base moved from a precarious state into vigorous development, and this only took two months.

In those two months, Lei Chuan did his best to find equipment for the doctor, and waited for the base to grow and their prosperity to spread enough to attract talent.

But with good news, there was naturally bad news. The occasional meteorite rain gradually brought harm to the environment. Many bases' cultivation areas became useless, yet ferocious mutant plants were flourishing.

The water resources had also become polluted, forcing the Water Warriors to work day and night to fill the water towers.

At the same time, B Base released the news that they had the ability to purify the water and land resources with a drug, if the other bases needed it, they could send materials in exchange.

No base was able to survive without land and water, Lei Chuan's face was incomparably gloomy, but he intended to accept B Base's blackmail.

But not long after, Zhou Yun Sheng cracked into B Base's laboratory defense system and leisurely sneaked out the meteorite tempered glass and the cleaning agents' formula.

He'd never forgotten B Base's assassination, his hatred was not small, so he planned to steal any research results B Base came up with. This time, he'll make sure they never have any advantages to suppress other's growth and development.
