Chapter 250: Here Comes the Most Terrifying One
A few days later.
The desolate wilderness.
Sun Neng appeared in a remote, uninhabited area with Han Xiaoxiao, and the commotion ahead made Sun Neng's expression very serious.
"Brother, what is that place?" Han Xiaoxiao curled up beside him, asking curiously.
Sun Neng said, "Xiaoxiao, you must remember, the apocalypse is more terrifying than we imagine, the only safe place is the Sunshine Shelter, everywhere else is full of danger, and you must not trust others lightly."
"Hmm." Han Xiaoxiao nodded, having always been protected by Sun Neng, she had a lot of trust in him and had developed a dependency on him.
In the distance, an armored vehicle slowly drove to the base's entrance, a bald man got out of the car, followed by a few others. The people getting out of the car looked around curiously, filled with novelty towards everything around.
Then, under the bald man's lead, they walked into the base.
Sun Neng is an Awakener, has great eyesight, and clearly saw the expressions of those people.
The people who got out of the car seemed like survivors, unfamiliar with the environment around them.
"There are still people alive in the apocalypse, did this base bring back some living survivors?" Sun Neng speculated, if it were the Sunshine Shelter, he would think this group of survivors was indeed lucky, coming to the safest place in the apocalypse.
But faced with this kind of base, he didn't consider it safe.
Wandering the apocalypse with Han Xiaoxiao, he had been to many places. From the moment he left Huang City, he was thinking of hunting zombies outside, gaining crystals and enhancing his abilities.
Everything was proceeding smoothly.
At this time.
Inside the base.
Wu Dongliang looked at these few survivors in front of him, their faces filled with excitement.
"Welcome to the apocalypse base, here you are safe."
He had long been accustomed to life here.
From making the wrong choice in the past, to later being persuaded by the other side, he was no longer an ordinary survivor, but a member of this base.
"Thank you for saving us," the survivors said gratefully.
Wu Dongliang smiled, "No need to thank, it's necessary, we in the apocalypse should unite."
Shortly after.
A young man came by.
"Brother Liang."
"Little San, take them to wash up, and then take them to have a meal," Wu Dongliang said.
"Oh, okay."
Little San came to these survivors, also receiving them very friendly.
This young man named Little San was the follower selected by Wu Dongliang, just like he had been when he was brought back here by Li Long and given a vivid lesson, which changed his mindset and views.
Looking at those few silhouettes in the distance.
The smile on Wu Dongliang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a sinister expression.
The walkie-talkie transmitted a conversation.
"Xiao Liang, come over here."
Wu Dongliang picked up the walkie-talkie and said, "Received, Brother Long."
In the distance.
"Are you called Zhang San?"
The survivors who were brought back actively communicated with Little San, thinking that establishing a relationship would be beneficial.
"Yes."
"Zhang San, the lawless rogue?"
"Haha, you could say that. Alright, we're here, this is where you will stay. Although the place isn't big, it has all the necessary facilities. Have a good shower, and I'll take you to eat later."
"Thank you, really, thank you very much."
Faced with the gratitude of these survivors, Zhang San just smiled. After the others entered the room, Zhang San's smile became strange, his lips curling in a somewhat villainous manner.
In the meeting room.
Li Long sat there in black clothing, smiling as Wu Dongliang came in.
"How are those survivors?"
Wu Dongliang said, "Brother Long, they are just ordinary survivors, foolishly naïve, but there's a possibility they might have disguised themselves."
"Haha, I didn't misjudge you. Bringing you alive in the apocalypse was indeed a wise choice." Li Long was very pleased with Wu Dongliang, capable and obedient, which in the apocalypse is a rare talent.
"Thank you, Brother Long, for cultivating me; only then could I find the meaning of living." Wu Dongliang dared not harbor any ill intentions towards Li Long; Brother Long is an Awakener, and he is still just an ordinary person. Being valued by Brother Long in this base, he had become a person of status.
"The meaning must be slowly discovered; some people may never find it in a lifetime, but if someone is willing to lead you, that meaning becomes easy to find."
Li Long had long been accustomed to this kind of apocalyptic life. For some people, this apocalypse was a defense, but for them, it was paradise, becoming a dictator-like existence in the apocalypse, with everyone around relying on his protection to survive.
Wu Dongliang nodded as if he understood well. If Mo Lan and Zhang Hao, who had been at the Sunshine Shelter for a long time, knew, they would definitely be disappointed. The former Wu Dongliang was a good person, willing to risk his life to help other survivors, striving for a sliver of hope for survival for others.
The current him and his former self were already two extremes.
"Brother Long, recently the organization needs fewer and fewer survivors, is something going wrong?" Wu Dongliang asked.
Their base gained many things through trading with that organization.
Li Long shook his head and said, "It's unlikely to go wrong, that organization is quite mysterious, the medicine they once gave us was clearly developed, they want survivors and also the strong and well-built ones, obviously for research purposes, such an organization is rather terrifying, let me make a call and ask."
