Xiang Jintian glanced at them and said in a deep voice, "Let's leave this place first. Within 50 meters of Bright Base, there's a system to prevent zombies from approaching."
Xu Qian's spine stiffened. It seemed Xiang Jintian already knew Xu Lü was a zombie.
The few of them worked together to place Xu Lü in the back seat of the car. They quickly retreated about 50 meters, and his complexion only then reluctantly returned to normal.
Even if Xiong Yongan was foolish, he now understood that this Xu Lü was a zombie.
Xiong Yongan shrank into a corner, immediately keeping his distance, not daring to say a word.
Xu Qian worriedly touched his forehead, truly caring for him like a younger brother.
"Xu Lü, are you okay?"
Xu Lü shook his head.
Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief and made up her mind.
"Xu Lü, why don't you drive around the vicinity? I'll come out at noon to make you food."
Xu Lü nodded obediently, just like before at Liyang Base. She would mostly be in the base, making him food for lunch and dinner, and returning to sleep at night.
"Good boy, I'm leaving then."
"Mhm."
Xiang Jintian's expression flickered, but he dared not speak. Xu Qian's trust in him was currently very low, making it inappropriate to ask her about men.
The three of them got out of the car and walked towards the main gate of Bright Base.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes. The A City Base was indeed different from other bases, with grey buildings and high walls, and solid surrounding defenses.
Looking up, it was almost impossible to see the top.
A huge plaque hung above the city gate.
It read in bold, flowing calligraphy: Bright Base.
Many soldiers guarded the city gate, wearing military caps and uniforms, with stern expressions.
Even in the early morning, there were many people queuing outside, divided into two lines, one for men and one for women, all waiting for inspection.
Neatly organized.
Xiang Jintian was in a hurry and cut in line, directly showing his ID to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper, upon seeing that it was a commander, immediately saluted and let them through.
After inspection, the three of them walked inside.
Upon entering, it wasn't the base they had imagined, but a long tunnel.
It was very dark inside, and they could only vaguely see the path ahead by the dim light.
Xiang Jintian reached out and quietly took her hand, his warm palm intertwining with hers.
Xu Qian was stunned for a moment, but didn't break free.
"The gatekeeping at Bright Base is very strict. Besides the 50-meter system outside to prevent zombies from approaching, one must also pass through this new type of detection tunnel, which is 100 meters long."
"Within 100 meters, the tunnel will scan us 360 degrees before allowing us to enter the base."
Xu Qian's eyes sparkled. Although she couldn't see anything, she still looked around.
"Bright Base is actually so advanced."
Xiong Yongan said proudly, "Technology like this is something only our Bright Base can achieve."
The three chatted casually as they walked, and soon emerged from the tunnel.
With a burst of blinding light, the scene within Bright Base appeared before her eyes.
Xu Qian's small mouth fell open. This was a base?
It looked like a city!
Although it was early, most people were already up. Many were cycling towards distant places, while others drove small cars and motorcycles.
Surrounding them were rows of ordinary residential buildings, and many shops lining the streets selling food and drinks, just like a modern food street.
Xu Qian let go of his hand and ran excitedly from stall to stall, clearly amazed by the scene.
Passing through the food street, there were numerous shops, clothing stores, and everything else.
Tall buildings towered overhead, and the residential areas were not much different from before the apocalypse. The original roads were retained, and there were even traffic lights.
Traffic was actually congested...
