Chapter 511 Sea Base
Dahai Base, Central Meeting Room.
"Everyone, please speak freely."
Looking at the people in front of him, Yao Hai's tone was a little tired.
There are currently 1,037 people in the Dahai Base, and everyone obeys Yao Hai's orders. He is the well-deserved local emperor here.
But at this time, he no longer has the high spirits when the base was first established. He even wants to abdicate and let whoever is capable take over!
Su Jie next to him seemed to feel his thoughts and immediately held his hand.
Looking at Su Jie's encouraging eyes, Yao Hai sighed again in his heart.
If someone can lead the base, he really doesn't mind giving up his power, but unfortunately no one can do it!

"General, can we discuss with Zou Jian and borrow some food from the Mammoth Base? After the winter is over, we will hunt and return it to them, even if we pay more interest..."
At this time, someone spoke.
Others also looked at Yao Hai.
"No."
But Yao Hai shook his head directly.
Seeing the disappointed look in everyone's eyes, he explained:
"Let's not talk about whether the other party is willing to lend us food. Even if they really lend us food, we can't do it with food alone..."
Hearing Yao Hai's words, everyone's face suddenly became a little nervous.
"General, could it be that..."
"Yes, those passages can't block for long. About three days later, we will have to face a wave of zombies. We can't retreat this time. After all, the space inside the air-raid shelter is limited. If we retreat again, there will be no place to live. We have to deal with this group of zombies and block the passage again..."
Yao Hai sighed.
"This..."
Everyone looked at each other, their faces were ugly, and they even regretted why they set the base here. If the base was in other places, there would be no such "surprise"... But think about it carefully, Yao Hai asked for their opinions at the time, and they voted unanimously.
Everyone fell into silence.
Seeing the regretful look on everyone's face, Yao Hai also regretted it to some extent.
When they accidentally found this air-raid shelter during the move, they were very excited and felt that this was a natural base.
This air-raid shelter is very large, and the passages inside are very developed, like an underground maze. This is naturally a good thing for them, and they wish the base is as big as possible.
But soon they didn't think so, because they found that there were zombies in this "underground maze"!
Except for the entrance they found and some areas inside, there are zombies in other passages!
Fortunately, there are doors in each passage of this air-raid shelter, and those zombies are isolated outside. As long as the door is not opened, it will be no problem to block the zombies with this reinforced concrete door.
But they underestimated those zombies. After finding food, the destructive power of these zombies is simply terrible. And these zombies are very strong, and the people in the base may not be opponents.
Seeing that the door was about to be breached, Yao Hai took action in time.
He had awakened the earth ability before, and could create a rock and soil wall comparable to steel. He directly used the rock and soil wall to block the zombies.
Yao Hai's rock and soil wall not only has high defense, but most importantly, as long as he is within a certain range of the rock and soil wall he made, he can sense the quality of the rock and soil wall, and thus judge whether the zombies are coming.
It is equivalent to a human radar!
Then the task of blocking the zombies must be his.
Of course, he also knew that this was only a temporary solution, and he had to either get rid of the zombies or move.
It was unlikely that the zombies would be solved. If he could, he would have solved it long ago.
And moving was even more impossible, because not long after he moved here, it suddenly snowed heavily and the temperature outside dropped sharply. He might be fine if he went out, but other survivors would definitely freeze to death.
Fortunately, his rock and soil wall did block the zombies and was safe for the time being. Yao Hai decided to wait until the winter was over, and then he would see whether to find a way to get rid of the zombies or move again.
But this winter was much harder than he thought, and the zombies blocked by the rock and soil wall did not give up. They were still tirelessly consuming the rock and soil wall!
Yao Hai was not sure that he could solve the zombies, so he could only constantly reinforce the rock and soil wall.
A few days ago, a group of zombies came to the entrance of their base, and they seemed to be preparing to build a nest here.
Yao Hai certainly did not allow zombies to build nests at the doorstep of his house, otherwise they would not be able to get out.
After evaluating the strength of these zombies in his mind, he felt that he could solve the problem by taking some people with him, so he went out to fight.
As luck would have it, when they were fighting outside, a rock and soil wall in a passage was broken through. A large number of zombies rushed directly into their base!
Yao Hai was panicked at the time. He thought the base was going to be destroyed. Fortunately, his wife Su Jie was there.
Su Jie was not very good at fighting, but she was smart. Yao Hai could lead so many people, and many rules and regulations were formulated by Su Jie. Su Jie organized the manpower and used the special terrain of the air-raid shelter to resist the attack of the zombies with difficulty.
When Yao Hai came back from the battle outside, he found that only more than 100 people died - for the situation where zombies appeared inside the base, more than 100 deaths were indeed not many. He had seen too many bases that were wiped out because of a zombie.
Finally, Yao Hai eliminated all the zombies and blocked the passage again. Fortunately, the zombies in the passage did not come in a swarm, but in waves. It gave him a chance to breathe, otherwise he would probably not be able to stop them.
However, it was also because of this battle that Yao Hai briefly entered the passage. In addition to seeing many zombies, he also saw some instruments that he didn't know what they were for.
Their Dahai base was now very short of resources. With the idea that he had come here, he took the risk to get these instruments back, and then continued to block the passage with rock and soil walls.
He didn't understand these electronic products, but there were survivors in the base who did. The survivors found that this was a military wireless device. After some tinkering, they really let them contact other people!
But the radio signal was not very good, intermittently, and he only heard that the other party seemed to be some Changhe base. He asked the other party for help, whether it was useful or not, he would try it first. But before he finished speaking, the signal was completely cut off...
The survivor who controlled the radio said that he could fix it and let Yao Hai rest assured that it would only take one night and he would definitely be able to contact the Changhe base again. As a result, the next day, the equipment was completely scrapped...
This made Yao Hai very upset.
In fact, Yao Hai did not have any expectations for this Changhe Base. He had survived for so long in the apocalypse, what had he not seen? Even if the Changhe Base was really kind and willing to rescue them, in this icy environment, there were frozen zombies, flying zombies, etc. outside, whoever came would die!
He just wanted to leave some hope for other survivors in the base.
People can only survive if they have hope. He can lead so many people by making the survivors feel that they have hope to survive with him.
But unfortunately, God doesn't seem to want to give them this hope...
Of course, this "little hope" is not what he should consider at the moment. What he should consider now is how to overcome the difficulties in front of him.
Their food can only last for ten days at most, but looking at the current weather, it is obviously impossible for it to warm up after ten days, so food is a big problem.
And the rock and soil wall in a passage in their base is almost consumed. If he continues to reinforce it, it will be reinforced to the activity space in the base.
They can't go out now. The space in the base is so small. If they use it a little, they will have less. So they can't reinforce it anymore. They have to deal with these zombies while they still have food and physical strength. Then go to the end of the passage to build a rock and soil wall again...
In addition to these problems, there is a bigger problem at present-the Mammoth Base has issued an ultimatum. It's up to Yao Hai to wait for death or merge into the Mammoth Base!
The Mammoth Base is a neighbor of the Sea Base, but their base is not an air-raid shelter, but in a dark crack.
Yao Hai didn't know about the Mammoth Base until he moved to this air-raid shelter. It was Zou Jian who came to find him at that time.
Although Zou Jian is only a third-level mutant, he has fused many ice-attribute defense crystal cores before, and can travel in this kind of ice and snow, so he is the spokesperson of the Mammoth Base.
At that time, Zou Jian promised various benefits and wanted Yao Hai to join the Mammoth Base with the Sea Base.
To be honest, Yao Hai was indeed tempted at that time.
Because he is really not good at leading a team, he can make the team so big, in fact, it is mainly due to his wife Su Jie. He does whatever Su Jie asks him to do. Unknowingly, he has pulled a team of 1,000 people, and everyone listens to him. For example, other people call him general, which is also a rule set by Su Jie...
One decision of his own will affect the life and death of thousands of people. Some people may like this feeling, but he doesn't like it. He just feels too much pressure!
So he thinks that it is also a good choice for them to merge into the Mammoth Base.
However, when discussing with Su Jie, Su Jie asked him not to make a decision so quickly, but to go to the Mammoth Base for an inspection first. No matter how good Zou Jian said, it would be fake if he didn't see it. What if the other party is a pit? They have encountered such things before.
Yao Hai felt that his wife made sense, so he expressed his desire to visit the Mammoth Base.
Zou Jian also agreed immediately.
So Yao Hai took the other two awakened people and Su Jie to the Mammoth Base.
There are a total of four awakened people in the Dahai Base, and these four people are naturally the highest combat power of the base. Leaving one person to watch the house, the three awakeners go out together, and safety is still guaranteed.
After arriving at the Mammoth Base, Yao Hai discovered that the Mammoth Base was actually in a dark crack!
He had seen these cracks before, and he thought there was an abyss inside, but he didn't expect that people could live there.
I have to say, this location is really good!
The black fog above blocked the flying zombies' sight, and the temperature below was higher than outside. Zombies didn't seem to come to such a place on purpose. Although it was a bit dark here, more torches could provide both lighting and heating... It was perfect for building a base here!
Unfortunately, although this crack was large, there was a slope here at the Mammoth Base, so you could go down. Other places were like cliffs and you couldn't go down.
The Mammoth Base also received Yao Hai very grandly, allowing Yao Hai to see their strength. The total population of the Mammoth Base was 3,000, and there were seven awakeners! This strength was much stronger than the Sea Base.
However, as the people from the Mammoth Base took them on a tour, Yao Hai slowly discovered that something was wrong.
Although the population of the Mammoth Base is large, many of them live like zombies. If you don't pay attention, you might think they are zombies.
These people are alive, but they are just alive.
The Mammoth Base did not hide it. They told Yao Hai that when the survivors came to their base and accepted the food and living space they provided, the lives of the survivors no longer belonged to themselves, but to them, and were their private property!
Private property is a nice way of saying it. To put it more bluntly, it is actually slaves.
They can ask these survivors to do anything, and the survivors have no right to refuse!
Seeing this, Yao Hai was unwilling to let his base be incorporated here.
Although the Mammoth Base stated that Yao Hai must be the master and would not harm the interests of Yao Hai and others.
But if Yao Hai wanted to be a local emperor, he would have done it long ago. He really didn't feel anything about these things, and even disliked them.
But Yao Hai was a person with no opinion. After all, the people in their base were almost unable to survive. What if the survivors were willing?
So Yao Hai didn't rush to leave, but continued to visit.
Then he found something that made it even harder for him to accept-
This crack is not necessarily safe, and the area outside the base is very dangerous. Mammoth Base lets these survivors mine, work, and even explore deep here!
Mining is fine, at most it is a little tiring, but exploration can kill people, and according to the data given by Mammoth Base, the mortality rate is extremely high!
Yao Hai felt that the survivors joining Mammoth Base was equivalent to being tortured and then sent to die... It would be better to die early.
In addition, Su Jie next to him kept hinting that he should refuse, so Yao Hai refused.
The people at Mammoth Base didn't say much, but just said to give Yao Hai time to think about it. Anyway, their base has always been here and has always been open to Dahai Base.
After that, Zou Jian ran to Dahai Base from time to time.
Although Yao Hai disliked Mammoth Base, there was no conflict between the two at present, so in order to prevent Zou Jian from freezing to death outside, he ordered that if Zou Jian came alone, he would let him in.
So Zou Jian also became a frequent visitor here.
But now, Zou Jian has forced Yao Hai to make a choice on behalf of Mammoth Base.
Yao Hai was reluctant, but after all, it was the lives of more than a thousand people...
"How about we merge into the Mammoth Base?"
At this time, someone finally spoke.
"You know what this means."
Yao Hai's face was not very good.
Ordinary survivors may not know much about the Mammoth Base. They only know that they may do hard labor after going there, but they, the leaders, know that ordinary survivors will most likely die if they go there.
"But we have no choice... Moreover, after you go there, your status will be extraordinary..."
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other.
Zou Jian said that if they went with Yao Hai, it would be impossible for them to be slaves, and they could even live better than now! After all, Yao Hai has formulated too many rules and regulations, which greatly restrict them. And over there, the master can do whatever he wants to the slaves...
If they really go there, it would be equivalent to exchanging the interests of ordinary survivors for their interests. Although it sounds a bit disgusting, to be honest, they have done their best for these survivors, and it is time for these survivors to make some returns, right?
Dongdongdong!
At this time, the door of the conference room was suddenly knocked.
"Go in."
As soon as Yao Hai finished speaking, a figure ran in impatiently.
"General, it's bad! There's a super-large, super-scary eagle hovering over our heads! It feels like we're being targeted!"
"..."
It's over!
Hearing this, everyone's heart suddenly chilled.
When they were escaping before, they had seen the horror of flying mutant beasts, especially birds of prey, which held grudges very much! If they were targeted by that thing, they would have no chance of getting out, and they would die if they showed their heads!
If they couldn't get out, how could they be incorporated into the Mammoth Base... It seemed that the last hope was gone... It was over!
