The Last Plant Controller

In the dark night, gunshots and explosions suddenly came from a corner of the base.   Then, the base quickly dispatched a large number of helicopters and tanks, which brought endless reverie to the survivors.

In an instant, rumors spread throughout the base.

"Could it be that someone rebelled?"

"The army is under the control of Commander Chen, and rebellion is unlikely. I suspect that zombies have entered the base!"

"It's terrible. More than 100,000 people in the west of the city have become zombies. Andu Base is finished!"

As Lin Chen walked along, he could see people looking southwest everywhere. Due to the bombardment of machine guns, some tents there were on fire. I don't know what was in the tent, the fire was very fierce, and it spread in just a few minutes. The fire further intensified the panic of the survivors who did not know the truth. Many people have begun to pack up and are ready to escape from the base at any time.

Do you want to go over and take a look?

Relying on his supernatural powers, Lin Chen was not very afraid, but wanted to know the truth there. However, before he could get close, a group of soldiers holding submachine guns stopped him expressionlessly.

"There is a temporary military exercise ahead, and all idle personnel are strictly prohibited from going with it."

Military exercise?

This excuse is really bad enough, there is an exercise of setting fire in the base at night?

Lin Chen smiled and was about to leave. But he suddenly remembered that he had just been awarded a medal and was no longer considered an "idle person", so he turned around and said with the idea of ​​giving it a try: "I am also a lieutenant in the base, and I want to go in and see what happened."

As he said that, he took a few steps forward and motioned them to look at his shoulder badges.

"Lieutenant?"

Hearing him say this, two of the soldiers took two steps forward with their guns, and looked at it with the help of the searchlight pole that swept from time to time in the distance: "It is indeed a lieutenant."

Although the tone did not change, his face was much more relaxed, and he even took the initiative to salute him.

They are all people in the system, so naturally they are not so serious. They were not afraid that someone would pretend to be an officer in the base, so they put down their guns and asked, "Which unit are you from? Can you show me your officer's certificate?"

Lin Chen wanted to say that he was from the reserve brigade, but this rank was not very good, so he changed his mind and reported the number of the company commander when attacking the municipal hospital.   As for the officer's certificate, it was easier to get it, so he said that he was in a hurry when he heard the explosion and forgot to bring it.

"It turned out to be Lao Hu's friend. I met him once."

Lin Chen's excuse was acceptable, and it happened that someone else had met the company commander once, so naturally they were in harmony.

"You guys, this is a temporary exercise restricted area, go back honestly!" At this time, another survivor came over curiously, and several soldiers put on a black face as usual to scare them away. This made Lin Chen very satisfied with the rank he had just obtained. With such an identity, it was indeed much easier to walk around the base.

After chatting with these people for a few more words, he suddenly asked: "Brothers, what's going on here?"

A soldier looked back and said casually: "God knows what's going on. We were ordered to set up a checkpoint to intercept. Anyway, the rapid emergency response team of the base has been dispatched and must have mastered the situation now."

This is equivalent to saying nothing.

The gunshots and explosions only lasted for two or three minutes. It was inevitable that the base had mastered the situation. Lin Chen just wanted to know what caused the battle!

However, at this time, two more military vehicles drove over from a distance at high speed. These new soldiers were ordered to reinforce here. Many fully armed soldiers jumped off the car and rushed in directly, looking hurried.

"Brothers from the division headquarters, what's going on inside?"

The soldiers responsible for interception also seemed to want to know what was going on inside, and they took the initiative to ask questions for Lin Chen.

Perhaps because they thought that there were soldiers all around, a major who jumped off the military vehicle took a look at them and said briefly: "I don't know how this area was infected by zombies. The previous news said that at least fifty zombies were killed! The higher-ups decided to block this place and conduct a thorough cleanup!"

"What?"

His words surprised several soldiers and Lin Chen.

Before confirming this news, they had also speculated, but the defense of the base was impregnable, and it was difficult for zombies to fly in. As for the zombie birds, there were special measures to drive them away near the base, and the survivors would also pay attention. With such precautions, how could zombies sneak into the base?

"Remember not to spread it out!"

The major warned, and then hurriedly took people away.

After receiving this news, Lin Chen had no intention of chatting with them. After a moment of stunned concentration, he hurried back to the temporary accommodation.

Although the spreading flames have been quickly extinguished, the sound of gunfire and the vibration caused by the fire are far from disappearing. Qian Xu, Liu Yi and the others all looked serious, holding their guns and on guard, fearing that something might happen suddenly.

Seeing Lin Chen coming back, they were somewhat relieved.

Over the past few days, they have unknowingly recognized Lin Chen's ability and have developed some trust in him. The situation in the base is currently chaotic and unclear, and with Lin Chen as the person in charge, they can undoubtedly feel more at ease. Shi Xuanxuan came up to them with even more worry, as if she could only feel at ease with him around.

Lin Chen nodded to them, took the cup handed over by Shi Xuanxuan and drank a few sips of water, then said: "I just came back from there, and I heard that a small area was infected by the zombie virus."

"How is that possible?"

"Is the base really breached by zombies?!"

Several people were no less surprised and worried than when Lin Chen first got the news. When did zombies become so powerful?

"Don't worry too much."

Lin Chen comforted them a few words, and at the same time told them what he saw. They felt relieved after learning that the base had taken decisive measures to control the situation.

"How about we exchange the food stamps in our hands for food when dawn comes?"

Liu Yi was worried that once the base was breached, the food stamps in his hand would become useless paper, so he wanted to replace the food stamps in advance.

"That's not necessary!" Lin Chen thought for a while and rejected Liu Yi's proposal.

He knew that the Andu Base was not easily accessible by ordinary zombies, and what happened tonight was probably an accident. Although it is still unclear how the zombies got in, there is no doubt about the safety of the base for the time being.

"Let's find out more tomorrow."

With that said, everyone went to sleep individually. It's hard to say how many people will be able to sleep soundly this night.

When he woke up the next morning, Lin Chen clearly felt that the atmosphere in the base was getting more and more chaotic. The number of patrols sent out by the military has tripled, and soldiers with guns can be seen everywhere on the streets. Of course, many rumors about the truth about last night are also flying everywhere. Various theories of accidents, rebellions, and zombie invasions have made all the survivors in the base panic-stricken, and the rate of exchanging food for other supplies in the trading area has skyrocketed!

When it was almost time to finish breakfast, Zhao Gang and Wei Ping came to visit.

"Do you know what happened yesterday?" Zhao Gang had obviously gotten some information and wanted to show it off.

Lin Chen knew that his connections at the base were wider than his own, and he also had more information channels, so he kept a low profile as he wished. Zhao Gang smiled proudly and told what he had found out: "A total of more than seventy people were infected before and after, including a careless soldier. The place is still under martial law and no one is allowed to get close."

"What's the cause of the infection?" Qian Xu asked.

Zhao Gang thought for a while and said: "There are two theories. One is that zombie rats and zombie pangolins dug holes and somehow got into the base. The other theory is that someone brought zombie meat in when they returned to the base, and it happened that there were The dog ate it and then..."

"Pangolin zombie? Looks like it was an accident."

Zhao Gang nodded and said: "It was an accident in the first place. It was just the survivors in the base who scared themselves. However, I'm afraid the military will take some action for this."

He was right. Half a day later, the base gave an explanation for what happened last night: a military exercise went wrong.

It doesn’t matter whether anyone believes this explanation. The key is that the base is eager to conclude this matter. Subsequently, senior officials announced an increase in the number of patrol soldiers and the formation of reserve brigades in advance.

That afternoon, the military began recruiting manpower with great efficiency. At the beginning of the second day, a team of six to seven thousand people appeared in the open space outside the base. Many of them didn't even have time to change into military uniforms and stood in wearing the clothes they used to help build the base's defenses. Some instructors and senior officers sent by the military frowned, obviously not having any hope for the rabble in front of them.

However, dissatisfaction ended with dissatisfaction, and at the request of Commander Chen, they began training.

In a short period of time, any tactical movements or mobile target shooting are simply subjects that are not considered. Let’s start with the simplest queue. This reminded Lin Chen of the military training in college, except that he was just a student at that time, but now he has become a small company commander. As a medium-sized officer, he also had to undergo training, but he had some privileges and could be lazy when he had nothing to do.

After three consecutive days of training, more than 6,000 people were finally able to prepare for the trip.

However, Lin Chen also tanned a little, which made Shi Xuanxuan very distressed.
