Chapter 1 On the Way Back

On the road, Li Chenzhou didn't go to the mountain village base. Instead, he went straight back to the Wu Village base in Qing City!

This base was the first one Li Chenzhou and the others established. Moreover, it was in the mine next to Wu Village, where Li Chenzhou met Instructor Li Yingning!

Before entering the Wu Village base, Li Chenzhou made a special trip to the mine where he had seen Li Yingning, but unfortunately, he didn't see her again!

The Wu Village base was now completely different. It was no longer the village with only dozens of small buildings, but a huge base!

Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang had managed to get a lot of engineering machinery from the city and were carrying out large-scale construction in Wu Village, building nine fifteen-story buildings.

These nine buildings were arranged in a tic-tac-toe pattern, with a distance of twenty-five meters between each other. The windows were all welded shut with steel bars, and there was even a layer of metal screens that could be opened and closed inside, to prevent small mutated beasts.

In addition, they had also opened up a lot of farmland to grow grain and vegetables, which could basically ensure self-sufficiency.

However, these farmlands were all located in the outer base of Wu Village. The current Wu Village base was divided into an inner base and an outer base. The inner base was the four buildings used for residence, as well as some other functional buildings around the buildings.

Around these buildings, they built a five-meter-high wall, and this wall was not built with vehicles and other miscellaneous things, but a real reinforced concrete wall.

The vehicles that were previously used as walls were now used as walls for the outer base, that is, the land occupied by those farmlands. They actually used vehicles and other things to surround the farmlands as well.

It could be seen that Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang had indeed put a lot of thought into this base, and what made Li Chenzhou most happy was the order of the base!

Perhaps because of the guidance of Li Chenzhou and the others, the Wu Village base was not like the bases Li Chenzhou had seen in his previous life, which looked like garbage dumps, with countless beggar-like survivors lying on the ground, simply waiting to die.

Even some guys who looked relatively energetic had empty eyes, because they had long lost hope for the future.

Although the survivors in the Wu Village base still had worries about the future on their faces, at least their eyes looked very energetic, without much despair and fear. Moreover, on the way Li Chenzhou came, he did not see any zombies near Wu Village.

It seemed that they had someone monitoring the surroundings and responsible for cleaning up scattered zombies!

Li Chenzhou's arrival was also known to Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang in advance. The scout in charge of that direction happened to know Li Chenzhou, so he immediately went back to report.

Hearing that Li Chenzhou had arrived, the two were overjoyed and hurried out to meet him, waiting at the gate of the base until Li Chenzhou arrived.

"Haha! Brother Li! We've been looking forward to your return!"

Seeing Li Chenzhou, Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang laughed and stepped forward, showing great enthusiasm. As for the address, these two guys were much older than Li Chenzhou, so it was definitely not appropriate to call him brother, and they didn't dare to call him Little Li, so they could only call him Brother Li!

"This place is well built, it looks quite mature, why are you still looking forward to me?"

Li Chenzhou said with a smile.

"Brother Li, we have saved up a lot of mutated crystal cores, just waiting for you to come and give them to you!"

Wang Yuanqiang said with a smile, and then pointed to a five-story building not far from the gate of the base:

"They are all stored there!"

"Oh? This is pretty good!"

Seeing this five-story building, Li Chenzhou's eyes lit up!

This building occupied a large area, about the size of a football field. It was ring-shaped and hollow. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a huge copper coin.

Looking at the building from the outside, there were no windows, and the walls were covered with various spikes. On the huge rooftop at the top of the building, various guns were mounted. It was clear at a glance that it was a building mainly for defense.

"This is a shelter we all researched together!"

Kong Xiang said with a smile:

"There is also a large underground space below, all cast with reinforced concrete. In times of crisis, everyone can hide below to take refuge. Moreover, the nine dormitory buildings also have underground passages that can lead to the shelter below."

"Well! Good idea, but... it may soon be useless!"

Li Chenzhou said with a smile.

Hearing Li Chenzhou's words, Kong Xiang and Wang Yuanqiang were stunned, but after all, this was still at the gate of the base, so the two didn't ask any more questions. Wang Yuanqiang made a gesture inside and said:

"Let's go in and talk!"

"Okay!"

Li Chenzhou nodded. He passed by Qing City on his way, but he didn't go to the city center to see the Devourer.

Li Chenzhou already had an idea for dealing with that Devourer. Didn't that guy have a lot of technological weapons such as beam cannons? Then let's use technological weapons to fight!

Therefore, Li Chenzhou planned to directly exchange for a war fortress and blast him to death with cannons! See who has more firepower!

Moreover, after exchanging for a beam gun, Li Chenzhou also had a deep understanding of the power of the beam gun. With his current strength, if he was hit by a beam gun, he would probably be in mortal danger, and even the combat suit couldn't stop it!

The world level limited only the evolutionary level of organisms, but it would not limit the power of beam guns and beam cannons. Therefore, the power of the weapons in that guy's hands was definitely not small! Using a war fortress was the safest.

Since he was going to use a war fortress, Li Chenzhou planned to bring the high-level members of several bases there at that time, so that they could see the power of the war fortress with their own eyes, which would save him from having to say more nonsense.

After all, the people here had been operating the base for a long time. Presumably, they also had certain feelings for their base. In addition, although these bases were all established with Li Chenzhou's help, and most of the leaders of these bases had said that no matter when Li Chenzhou came back, they could immediately take over the base.

But after all, so much time had passed, and Li Chenzhou didn't dare to guarantee that they still had the same idea as before, so he still had to show enough strength to make them continue to maintain their awe of him, and then smoothly integrate the bases near Qing City!

It had to be said that this was also a mistake of Li Chenzhou, because he had never planned to build any bases before. Otherwise, he would have left some means in each base at the beginning, and now there would not be so many concerns.

As for now, he could only first look at the attitudes of the leaders of these bases and then decide. Anyway, for Li Chenzhou, not every base had to be integrated. If they were unwilling, then he would just not include them...
