Chapter 127 really worked!
"Brother Lang, Brother Lang..." The nine people upstairs were at a loss and were about to go downstairs to find Liu Jia, hoping to take the remaining survivors here to the South China Base, when they were stopped by Wang Sanhai's loud voice.
"What's going on?" Ji Lang, who was standing by the emergency exit, immediately approached the emergency stairwell when he heard Wang Sanhai call him. Just moments ago, Wang Sanhai had almost rushed up to kill Li Minze, who was lifeless, but now he was calling him "brother."
"Is he awake?" Yang Xiao ran over as well. Judging from Wang Sanhai's tone, Li Minze had probably woken up.
"He's awake! Second Brother is awake!" Wang Sanhai was much older than Li Minze, but in the base, Liu Jia was the eldest and Li Minze was the second eldest. He couldn't call a college student "Second Brother," so he always called him "Second Brother."
"Does it really work?" Wei Cheng and Zhong Qiang, who had been watching Lu Yuan's new equipment, heard the conversation and quickly followed everyone downstairs. In that instant, the entire lobby was left with only the pitiful Lu Yuan.
Although he really wanted to run a few steps, Lu Yuan was afraid that he would collapse the floor if he took those two steps, so he could only concentrate on controlling the exoskeleton and move step by step. Heaven knows how difficult it was for him at that moment.
When Lu Yuan finally managed to get down to the guest room floor, he couldn't squeeze in anymore. The open door was completely blocked by layers of people. Some of these people were crying, some were laughing, and some were both crying and laughing. But it has to be said that they were all genuinely happy. The person they admired had come back to life.
After everyone had left, Lu Yuan finally saw the situation in the room. Besides the eight people he knew, there were three others he didn't recognize. One of them, judging from his voice, was the same person who had come upstairs to call them earlier. Another was still lying on the bed, and the third was sitting on the sofa with his head down, his shoulders still trembling slightly, probably still not recovered from the huge surprise.
"Cough cough... Thank you for saving me..." The person on the bed looked at Ji Lang standing by the bed. Although he had woken up, his face was pale and his lips, though gradually regaining their color, were still clearly purple from the cold.
“I only made a suggestion; I’m not really sure if it will work,” Ji Lang shook his head and then asked, “How are you feeling now?”
"Feeling?" The young man on the bed moved his fingers, repeating the two words softly. He slowly closed his eyes, and after a moment of quiet silence, he suddenly opened them again, looked around, and said softly, "I feel my body becoming very light, I feel the surroundings are full of vitality, I feel waves of energy surging towards me, especially..."
Li Minze turned to look at Wei Cheng by the door. Wei Cheng had originally planned to go out and help Lu Yuan, who was moving slowly, but suddenly felt that everyone was looking at him, so he immediately stopped and looked back at everyone by the bed.
“Especially him…” Li Minze looked at Wei Cheng, closed his eyes briefly, then opened them again, “…it’s the taste of life…”
"You..." Upon hearing Li Minze's description, Wei Cheng got goosebumps all over his body. What did this mean? Did it mean that he, in particular, was delicious? Wei Cheng was shocked and pointed at Li Minze on the bed, exclaiming, "You didn't fail to evolve, did you?!"
Wei Cheng's scream startled Liu Jia, who was on the sofa. He rushed to the bedside and carefully observed Li Minze several times. After confirming that the other party did not show any signs of zombification, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haha, it's probably because Xiao Wei has wood-type abilities, so life..." Lin Yun's explanation made sense, and Wei Cheng finally felt relieved and smiled awkwardly.
"It's good that you're awake. Although you haven't fully recovered, we have some very important things to discuss with you." The leader of this survivor base is Liu Jia, but major decisions are analyzed by Li Minze. It's not that Liu Jia and Wang Sanhai are not smart, but Li Minze, a hot-blooded college student with a touch of chuunibyou, always thinks of things they can't. So, when it comes to doing anything, the three of them usually prioritize Li Minze's ideas.
"Cough cough, it's nothing, just say what you want to say." Li Minze propped himself up and leaned against the bed. He could feel that his body was recovering very quickly, like the "vitality" breaking through the soil in spring.
“We are a mission team dispatched by the South China Base, a total of nine people, and we are all here now.” Ji Lang, as the leader of the South China Base’s supply team, picked up where Gu Nanfeng left off. “Our mission is twofold: first, to find out the distribution of zombies in the port city and clear out as many zombies as possible; second, to find more survivors and bring them back to the base.”
"South China Base?" Li Minze had heard the broadcast before, but their radio was of such poor quality that he couldn't hear anything clearly, only some phrases. "Is it a base established by the state?"
“Yes, it’s a base established by the state.” Qin Yuan nodded. “This temperature drop was too sudden. Lin Yun and I, as ability users, were both affected to varying degrees. We can’t stay here any longer and must return to the base as soon as possible. If you’re willing, you can come back with us this time.”
"The South China base is at sea?" Before landing, Wang Sanhai had actually spent a few days at sea. He did see some warships, but he had been involved in a death at that time, so he didn't dare to approach the army.
"Was the base unaffected by this temperature drop?" Liu Jia grasped the key point: all the ordinary survivors here, except for Li Minze, had died.
“We’re not sure either. Because we’re not sure, we have to get back as soon as possible. Hopefully, if we can make it in time, we can save as many people as we can with the crystals we have,” Ji Lang continued. “We don’t have much time. If you’re planning to come together, gather your people now and we’ll head to the beach to board the ship right away.”
“But there are no boats on the beach here.” Wang Sanhai had no objection to going to the South China base. After all, it didn’t matter where he was now. At least it was a national base, and the Chinese people always had a heartfelt trust in their country.
"I'll go with the third brother to call some people. Could you please help us bring the second brother along? The beach is right outside the hotel lobby on the lower level, and there's a small pier there used for weddings." Liu Jia was more straightforward than Wang Sanhai. He knew that Ji Lang and the others must have a way to get them all together, so instead of wasting time asking questions, they might as well take action.
“Okay, then I’ll carry you on my back.” Ji Lang immediately squatted down by the bed, and the others didn’t say anything, helping him to carry Li Minze on their backs.
Although Li Minze hadn't said anything, he certainly had no objection to his boss Liu Jia's decision. After all, he never imagined that one day he would have the opportunity to go to the national base, which was practically equivalent to being officially employed. He was so excited that he almost fainted.
