Chapter 309 Above the Ruins 5
It was getting dark,

The light was as bright as day, dispelling the darkness outside the base.

At the foot of the mountain, laborers in gray clothes were busy arranging the items that had been blown upside down, and the guards on the fence began to patrol.

Base control room.

"Any news about the scavengers?"

Wearing a black uniform, a man in his 40s with an air of majesty looked at the display screen in front of him and frowned.

The screen was displaying the formation of the storm, along with its advance path and estimated damage, and the results were clearly not good.

"The first waste-scavenging team has returned, but the second and fifth waste-scavenging teams have not returned, and there is no news." The operator replied.

"They're back, they're back." Another operator yelled in surprise, and the screen in front of him showed three dots of light, which were rapidly heading towards the base.

The man hurriedly walked behind the operator, looked at the light spots of the second scavengers team on the screen, and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just come back, just come back."

The loss of two scavenger teams at once was an unbearable loss for the base.Now that one of the squads is back, the worst has not happened, and the man is thankful.

At the foot of the mountain, three gray trucks full of wind and sand slowly drove into the base, and the waiting laborers in gray clothes hurriedly surrounded them and greeted them with a smile.

"Brother Lin Xiu, you are finally back!"

"It can be regarded as coming back, everyone is very worried. The storm is so big, how did you escape?"

Lin Xiu opened the car door, stood on the pedal, looked at everyone around, and said with a smile, "I escaped a catastrophe in a mountain depression."

"We are in danger this time. I will tell you when I have time." Zhang Shanwei stuck her head out of the lowered car window and said with a smile.Being able to return to the base alive is the happiest thing for the scavengers.

"Yeah!" A few young people were very interested in this, nodded repeatedly, and asked again: "Sister Wei, are you still going to P6 area?"

"You should go! There is an old world research center on P6, but it has been circling around before, and there is no progress."

Zhang Shanwei jumped out of the car and joined Lin Xiu and the others.The task of the scavengers is to go out to find supplies and bring them back, so they don't need to worry about the rest.

Seeing the energetic appearance of the young people, Zhao Yiran smiled and looked at Du Tinghai, the material supervisor not far away.

Holding two tablet computers the size of a mobile phone, he walked over slowly, looked at Zhao Yiran and asked with a smile, "Is everything going well?"

"Except for the sudden storm, everything else went well. The P6 area used to be a city, and there were many mutated animals and plants in it. It was difficult to enter the laboratory." Zhao Yiran replied.

"Take it easy!" Du Tinghai comforted.

"By the way, that new member of our team, how is it today?"

Because the new team member only came to the base yesterday, she was not called on today's mission. Zhao Yiran wanted her to adapt to the mission in two days.

"Your team member...is a kind child." Thinking of what he saw by the window before, Du Tinghai smiled. His first impression of Bai Xi was not bad.

"Oh?" Zhao Yiran was a little surprised, "It's not easy to get your old Zhao's affirmation."

Du Tinghai smiled and recounted what he had seen before. Zhao Yiran was surprised and surprised.

"As a survivor from outside the district, it's rare to be able to leave a heart." I didn't expect that the little girl brought back with a soft heart could give him such a surprise.

Although the living conditions in the base are not good, they are at least an orderly safe zone that allows people to survive.

But the world outside the base is chaotic and disorderly, filled with violence and death all the time, most of the people who can survive are indifferent and cruel.

Most of the time, the scavenger team died not from the sharp mouths of mutated creatures, but from the gunpoints of survivors outside the area.

"This little girl is a good young girl. With such strength in her hands, even three or four adult men are no match for her. If she is trained well, she can become an excellent scavenger."

Du Tinghai also nodded in agreement, and teased: "Didn't you always want to find an heir? This girl may be a good choice. She has enough ability and has a goodwill in her heart."

Zhao Yiran patted Du Tinghai's shoulder and said with a smile: "Let's see and talk! It's too early to draw conclusions."

Zhao Yiran had his own considerations.

The captain of the scavenger squad cannot be held by just one person.

He must be experienced and decisive, and at the same time he must not be too ruthless. He must not only be responsible for the base, but also consider his own players.

Knowing how to measure is a science, not just ability.

At this time, Bai Xi was standing by the window, wondering if she should go down and say hello to Zhao Yiran and the others.She just walked away from the gate of hell, should she express her concern?
"Let's go down and have a look!"

After thinking about it, Bai Xi decided to go down and show her face. After all, she was part of a scavengers team, and they might have to experience life and death together in the future.Make a good impression first, in case of danger, they might be able to rescue her.

Thinking in this way, Bai Xi pushed the door and walked towards the elevator next to him. Just halfway there, the horn of the base rang in his ears.

"Please go to the top-level command center as soon as possible, the second scavengers team, and meet with the base commander."

The loudspeaker was blared two or three times in a row, and the whole base knew that Zhao Yiran's team had returned, and their hearts were relieved a lot.

Hearing the announcement from the horn, Bai Xi raised her eyebrows, "Oh! I can't see you anymore."

At the foot of the mountain, Zhao Yiran, who was chatting happily with Du Tinghai, heard the base broadcast, looked at his team members and said, "Get ready, go to the top floor to report the situation."

"Good captain."

Lin Xiu nodded back and walked over.

"Captain, I'm going to take a pee first, and I'll be here soon." Mao Shengjiu hurried to the toilet beside him, shouting as he ran, "Brother, help me get something."

"Lazy people poop a lot."

Brother Mao Shengqi complained ruthlessly, but he still walked to the cab of the truck and took out the small stereo that Mao Shengqi found.

The supplies that the scavengers go out to find, except for food and some important resources and equipment, other small things that are not important, are allowed to keep one or two things.

After all, people risked their lives to bring back so many things, and this privilege is still there.

After Mao Shengjiu came back, the five members of the team came together to the main control room on the top floor of the base, which is also the command center of the entire base.

Several people were brought to a conference room covering an area of ​​nearly [-] square meters by gray-clothed clerks. Compared with the dormitory of the scavengers, which was only a few square meters, this conference room was quite large.
