Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

The Qin Jin team on the third floor finally found the target firearms and various weapons.

They quickly packed everything up.

Since the bullets and various accessories added up to a considerable quantity, their team couldn't move everything in a short amount of time.

They had to call Li Bowen's other two teams over using the walkie-talkie.

Everyone was thrilled to see the various weapons; these were their lifeline for survival in the future!

The team members were as if injected with chicken blood, not letting go of anything in the entire room!

Even paper documents were packed and taken away, in case these documents could be used for reference or gun repairs in the future?

They couldn't miss anything, so they decided to move everything first.

While the team members were moving things, Li Bowen found Qin Jin.

He indicated that there was a situation to report and said to him, "President Qin, we found a survivor in a prison cell. What do you think is the best way to handle this?"

Qin Jin became curious. The entire police station had been zombified, yet someone managed to survive. It seemed like they had good luck.

Since he was in a great mood after obtaining a large number of weapons, he decided to go see this survivor.

Under Li Bowen's lead, they quickly arrived at a certain location.

There were many temporary prison cells here, and they saw Gao Qiang inside, who was emotionally agitated!

"I beg you, please save me! I just want to leave this place. I really didn't do anything wrong. I just got into a fight and was arrested. I'm just a fishmonger, please save me! I feel like I'm going to die!"

Gao Qiang couldn't help but continue to beg for help when he saw more people arriving.

He had been awakened by a burst of singing, which lured the zombies away. After some time, a group of people indeed entered the police station.

However, this group of people didn't seem too interested in him and didn't intend to rescue him. They searched around for things, asked him a few simple questions, and then just left!?

Just left!?

They just left him in this hellish space!

He felt like he was about to collapse.

Was it because his answers weren't good enough, making them think he wasn't a good person, so they simply didn't save him?

Is this how you people use taxpayers' money!?

He wanted to complain!

Although he didn't know if there would be a future, he only felt tired and regretful.

His body was tired, and his heart felt tired of this world.

Why was everyone targeting him!

Why didn't he obediently pay the protection fee to the market's urban management that day? Why did he throw that punch? He just wanted to earn more money for his younger siblings' education!

Damn it!

Just as he was regretting his life and his consciousness was fading, he heard footsteps again. They were back!

This time, he would lick their boots and perform well, hoping for a chance to be rescued.

He was so thirsty, hungry, and desperate, and he was worried about his younger siblings outside, unsure if they were safe!

He continued to say with tears and snot running down his face:

"I am Gao Qiang from fish stall number 4 in Mentang Town's farmers market. I grew up here and am truly a law-abiding fish farmer and seller. Please, save me! I'm really not a bad person."

Oh? Also from Mentang Town? Qin Jin became a little interested after hearing this.

He asked Gao Qiang, "Why are you here? Have no other people come in these past two days? What benefit is there for me to save you?"

He directly posed three questions.

Gao Qiang was slightly stunned.

He didn't expect that this time it was a young man he had never seen before. Seeing Li Bowen, who had been leading the way earlier, standing quietly behind Qin Jin, he roughly guessed that these newcomers were their boss.

His brain quickly used its last bit of energy to organize his words, afraid of being too slow, and said:

"I was bullied by the urban management and couldn't help but punch him, so I was arrested. No one else has come here in the past two days. As far as I know, one person in this room was eaten, and the others have turned into monsters. As for the last question, as long as you save me, my life will be yours from now on! I can do anything for you! As long as it doesn't harm my younger siblings!"

Qin Jin sneered in his heart, feeling that this person was quite upright, but he didn't know whether to call him stupid or smart. In the end, he even directly revealed his weakness.

He quickly pondered in his heart that it seemed he could find someone to manage the fish pond in the base in the future?

Seeing that he stopped talking, as if thinking about something, Gao Qiang's heart was in his throat.

He knew that if he missed this opportunity, he might not survive until the next rescue that might not even happen. He hadn't had water or food for three days, and he couldn't even urinate. His body was telling him that he was reaching his limit.

Qin Jin didn't think for long, only a few seconds, and didn't even reply to Gao Qiang. He walked alone to the lock on the iron railing, skillfully demonstrating his lock-picking skills.

Seeing that he hadn't responded for a long time, Gao Qiang was about to despair again. Then he saw this young man walk forward and fiddle with the door lock.

With a click.

The iron railing that he had both loved and hated finally opened the door.

He collapsed to the ground, tears streaming down his face, and snot almost sprayed onto Qin Jin's shoes.

Disgusted, Qin Jin dodged and saw that he didn't seem to have the ability to walk on his own, so he had to order Li Bowen to help Gao Qiang up and head back towards the convoy.

The transportation was nearing completion.

More than a dozen people worked busily for two trips.

They moved all the weapons, including anything that might be useful, to the heavy trucks parked at the gate downstairs.

During this process, Qin Jin first equipped Li Bowen and the other team leaders with pistols.

He said to his teammates:

"The first operation was relatively smooth. We obtained a lot of weapons, but they can only be used by your captains for now, because they were originally soldiers and know how to use guns. It's not recommended for those who don't know how to use them, as these things require certain skills. People who don't know how to use them can easily hurt themselves and their own people. Don't worry, we will arrange firearms training when we return to the base, and everyone will definitely be able to use them in the future!"

The team members who didn't get guns expressed their understanding. Normal people would have a sense of awe when they touched a gun for the first time.

It was really dangerous for those who didn't know how to use them. It was a minor matter if they couldn't aim accurately, but it would be a joke if they shot themselves or their own people.

The team leaders who received the guns admired and fondled them with great affection.

These things were always men's favorite toys, and no one would dislike them.

In the army before, they only had occasional opportunities to use them, and they didn't own them for long periods of time.

Their original crossbows were downgraded to be used by the people below with Qin Jin's permission.

Compared to firearms, crossbows were much easier to use. As long as you paid attention to a few key points, even people who used them for the first time could use them.

It was just that the accuracy was not easy to grasp, and you needed to practice more to improve your feel.

For a time, the strength of the Green Source Base's combat team was greatly improved!

Qin Jin also wore a brand new pistol on his waist and a submachine gun hanging on his chest. He had been fortunate enough to obtain one in his previous life.

It was just that after the bullets were used up, it could only be abandoned as firewood.

His marksmanship was not very accurate, only within the normal range.

But he believed that after shooting more in the future, he would always improve the accuracy.

They quickly settled the supplies in this place, and the convoy was once again lined up on the road, waiting.

During this period, Gao Qiang was placed in a certain car and given some clean water and food. He was still resting after eating.

His body, which had been empty for too long, couldn't recover all at once and needed some time.

Qin Jin communicated with Zhong Yu, who was still "herding sheep" two kilometers away.

He instructed them to find a suitable location, turn off the sound-emitting ball, and drive back here with the drone to assemble.

Once the zombies lost their sound target, most of them stopped and slowly wandered away again, heading towards the nearby shade.

It was unknown how they distinguished locations, but they once again lurked in different locations, waiting for the stimulation of the next batch of lucky people, or waiting for night to come to forage for food.

Zhong Yu and the others quickly returned to the team with the drone, and they were also very happy to learn that the goal had been achieved.

The convoy departed from the base at 6:30 AM.

It took more than forty minutes to reach this police station, and it took more than half an hour to search for supplies and transport them. Now it was still early, only eight o'clock.

It was still morning.

Today's plan was to visit more than one place, so the convoy started and continued to drive to the next target.

His target was the other police stations within 100 kilometers around the base!

It wasn't certain that he could visit all of them today, but he had to scavenge all the ones that were close first!

At least in the early days of the apocalypse, before other survivors reacted and the firearms hadn't been destroyed or picked up, the more he could hoard, the better.

After the destruction of industrial civilization, these would all be non-renewable resources.

Of course, he didn't plan to spend the night outside. It was too dangerous outside, and a little carelessness could lead to attrition or even complete annihilation.

Therefore, he set a planned time to go out every day and return on the same day.

Every afternoon, depending on the distance from the base, he planned the time well, and he had to start heading back towards the base at 3-4 PM, so that he could basically return to the base before dark.

Now it was only eight o'clock, so he definitely continued to the next target.

No one would complain that there were too many guns and ammunition.

The convoy continued to be led by Qin Jin's leading car, heading towards another place about forty kilometers away, which was the city police station of another Guangyuan City.

It was located in the suburbs of Guangyuan City, so he had the idea to run to this place.

If it was in the city, he would definitely not dare to go, as it would be almost like sending himself to death.

As long as he was careful, he felt that he was confident in touching this police station.

If it really didn't work, he would change to another target. Anyway, it was still early.

The Huaguo police force is divided into many levels. The lowest level is the police station, which may also have some firearms, but the quantity and amount of ammunition are definitely much lower than that of the county level.

The combat team had just visited a county-level police station, and the harvest was not bad.

The next higher level is the city bureau. There is no question that there are more and stronger weapons inside.

For example, the Guangyuan City Bureau.

But it also meant that there might be a lot of zombies around, which was somewhat dangerous.

The highest-level police department will not be considered for the time being.

That is a provincial-level unit, which is bound to be located in the most populous city, which can be described as a dragon's pool and tiger's den.

If you want to go in to search for supplies, you don't even have to think about getting close to that kind of big city. You will inevitably face tens of millions of zombies, and many tactics will lose their effectiveness in the face of this level of zombies.

There must also be more of another system's army.

But they are often built in relatively hidden places, and he doesn't dare to plan for those places for the time being. One is that the journey is too far, and the other is that there may still be official organized resistance forces.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, there are still many survivors. Whether it is because everyone is human, it is necessary to avoid firefights.

He believes that the best target now is to focus on the surrounding police stations.

It is not too late to explore in the future when there is a chance.
