[Three in the southwest, five in the northeast, one due east.]
Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up.
The fun was about to begin!
"Let's go kill some zombies."
"Where are the zombies?"
Nie Yizhou's eyes also flashed with excitement.
Yun Xiaoxiao pointed with her small hand, "Over there."
Lu Chen followed Yun Xiaoxiao's gaze, raising his eyes slightly.
Soon, the three of them were standing outside the base on the southwest edge.
In the vast darkness of night, three black figures were slowly walking through the expansive fields, swaying as they moved.
They would occasionally twist their necks and make "huh huh huh" sounds from their mouths.
"Kid, how did you know there were zombies over here?"
Nie Yizhou looked at the three zombies in the distance, shocked.
Yun Xiaoxiao pursed her lips a bit smugly, "It's my personal ability, something you can't hope to match."
Nie Yizhou: ......
So, why was I born without a sense of humor?
The three of them didn't use their special abilities, instead drawing their knives and charging straight at the three zombies.
A bit of exercise before eating more later.
Judging by the clothes the zombies were wearing, they must have been workers from this plantation base.
Yun Xiaoxiao and the others killed all the zombies from the three locations before returning to the hospital.
Mu Yang and the others had already returned from picking vegetables, and everyone was busy.
Aromas were wafting out from the kitchen.
"Gurgle gurgle..."
Yun Xiaoxiao's stomach immediately let out a rumbling sound.
"Need any help?" she asked enthusiastically.
Everyone in the kitchen turned to look at her.
Then, they all shook their heads in unison.
Yun Xiaoxiao: ......
At this moment, the couple Zhong Mingsheng and Fan Wenying, along with Ye Shuyuan, walked into the cafeteria from outside, carrying flashlights.
As soon as they arrived at the hospital, the Zhong couple couldn't wait to look around.
Ye Shuyuan, worried about them in the dark, had gone along.
"Grandpa Zhong, are you satisfied with this hospital?" Yun Xiaoxiao asked with a smile.
This hospital was a comprehensive medical center, with each department having its own building, plus inpatient wards, research institutes, equipment rooms, medicine storage, logistics department, cafeteria...
It was very large; if you walked, it would probably take several hours to see it all.
Previously, Yun Xiaoxiao had worried that the system wouldn't reward those computers, documents, and medicines and such, but all her guesses turned out to be correct.
The system was indeed very stingy.
There were only the most basic facilities, like hospital beds, bedding, cabinets, desks and chairs in doctors' offices...
Basically just the most simple and fundamental things.
There was nothing else beyond that.
So she had put all the previously collected computers, documents, and other items in the equipment room.
All the medicines collected for the hospital were placed in the medicine storage.
As for the ambulances, she had parked them directly at the hospital's main entrance.
Zhong Mingsheng nodded with great satisfaction.
"Satisfied, of course I'm satisfied."
As he said this, his voice was somewhat choked with emotion, and his eyes were even a bit red.
Earlier, Yun Xiaoxiao had promised them that they could continue their research work when they arrived at the new base.
Although he believed her, he never imagined the conditions would be this good.
After all, the entire city had been overrun by zombies, with hospitals being particularly hard-hit areas.
He thought that even if the other party promised he could continue his research, the conditions would surely be extremely harsh.
It might just be a temporary shed, or maybe just an unprofessional empty room.
No equipment, no medicine...
But he never expected that the other party would actually have such a brand new, proper large hospital!
Although some of the equipment wasn't as good as what they had in their research institute, at least all the basic necessary equipment was there.
This was already very good!
Just a few days ago, he wouldn't have dared to even imagine such a scene.
Being able to eat enough each day was considered good fortune.
But now, not only could they continue their research in such a clean and tidy proper hospital, they could also eat rice and meat. This was simply too wonderful!
If he couldn't feel himself breathing, he would have thought he had already starved to death and this was all just a beautiful fantasy after death.
"Mm-hmm, I'm glad you're satisfied."
She was very much looking forward to the virus vaccine being developed.
After all, no matter how powerful one was, being bitten by a zombie was still fatal.
"If you need anything else, you can tell me."
"Mm, alright."
"Dinner's ready!"
Just then, Grandma Niu came out from inside carrying a plate of food, smiling.
Following her, Feng Jin and others also began bringing dishes out from the kitchen one after another.
Thanks to the generator, the cafeteria was now as bright as day.
"It's been so long since I've seen lights at night!"
"So many dishes!"
"I feel like I could eat five bowls of rice!"
"Quick, quick, let's eat."
Everyone pushed three long tables together and sat around them in a lively circle.
"This boiled fish is so delicious, tender and flavorful!"
"The braised goose is amazing too, I love this spicy taste!"
"Try this stir-fried chicken with chili peppers, it's incredible!"
"......"
Everyone chatted back and forth, eating with great satisfaction.
As they were eating, they heard a small sobbing sound.
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw Du Juan with her head buried in her bowl, her body shaking.
They all looked at each other in confusion. What was going on?
Could it be that the food was so good it made her cry?
Yun Xiaoxiao looked at her, puzzled. "Sister Juan, why are you crying?"
Du Juan sniffled and raised her head, her eyes red.
"I... I'm just too happy. These aren't tears of sadness, they're tears of joy.
Think about a few days ago, when we were trapped in the mental hospital, almost out of food, not knowing how many more days we could hold on.
Whether we'd end up being bitten to death by zombies or starving to death.
But now, I'm actually sitting in a clean cafeteria, under bright lights, eating white rice and all kinds of dishes that would have been considered fancy even before the apocalypse.
I feel so incredibly lucky.
To have met all of you.
I really can't imagine what kind of situation we'd be in now if we hadn't met you then."
Her words left the room in silence.
Zhong Mingsheng and Fan Wenying exchanged a glance, also recalling their time at Rongsheng Base, where they had to queue up early every morning.
Sometimes they had to wait in line for one or two hours just to get a single steamed bun.
Never eating enough each day, while enduring the noisy surroundings and dirty environment.
Compared to now, it was like heaven and earth.
Feng Jin also thought of his own experiences.
His son bitten to death by zombies, his wife falling ill with no one to care for her, and then being forcibly dragged out of the base before she had even fully breathed her last breath, for fear she might spread the virus to others after death.
He couldn't help but sigh.
If only they had met these people earlier, would the outcome have been different?
Qin Zhi and the others also recalled the four of them crammed into a tiny hospital room, drinking only water given by the fat uncle every day, and eating only the small vegetable leaves that Grandma Niu managed to grow. They were truly just barely clinging to life each day.
Lu Chen and the others' eyes also flickered slightly.
They thought of their own days before meeting Yun Xiaoxiao.
It seemed that everything had changed quietly because of one person.
Everyone looked towards Yun Xiaoxiao.
Yun Xiaoxiao felt a bit uneasy.
"Why are you all looking at me? There's no food on my face!"
