Chapter 106 The Strongest Zombie King
Lu Yuan and his group were on a yacht, so they arrived at the location coordinates that Pei Simin had given Gu Nanfeng in just over an hour. However, there was no South China base there at all; it was still a vast sea area.
"It looks like the base coordinates are wrong?" Qin Yuan braved the wind and snow to go to the bow of the ship and looked around with a high-powered telescope, but he couldn't see anything that looked like the base. He shook off the snow and returned to the cabin.
"That's impossible! How could Brother Min give me the wrong coordinates?" Gu Nanfeng held his satellite phone. He had been trying to contact Pei Simin for the past few days, but the satellite phone had no signal at all.
"Is it possible that the coordinates are encrypted, and everyone who knows them is not getting the correct ones?" Lu Yuan thought for a moment and then said, "The South China Base is so important, it certainly can't be revealed casually."
“Lu Yuan’s words make sense.” Qin Yuan took a cigarette out of his pocket; he needed a smoke to cool down. The weather was getting colder and colder, and even after going outside for a while, he was still freezing.
"Hmm, let me take another look." After saying that, Gu Nanfeng asked Lu Yuan for paper and pen, and sat down on the single sofa in the corner, starting to write and draw on the paper.
Not long after, he produced a new coordinate. Qin Yuan immediately started the yacht and headed towards the new coordinate. Because it was impossible to determine whether the coordinate was Pei Simin's personal encryption or the unified encryption of the South China Base, Gu Nanfeng deduced many coordinate points, and they searched for them one by one and eliminated them one by one.
Finally, around 4 p.m., the silhouette of the base was spotted in the sea. It was a secure base built on an archipelago.
Before the yacht could even approach the safe base, they received a warning siren from the base, indicating that they should not approach the surrounding waters. However, the base also knew that most of the people who had found this place had probably come here using encrypted coordinates, and those who had obtained the encrypted coordinates were likely family members of the survivors in the base. Therefore, the base control tower quickly contacted Lu Yuan and his yacht.
Guided by the base control tower, Qin Yuan steered the yacht to the designated landing point. Similar to their previous trip to the secure base in G City, the four people who landed underwent multiple checks and disinfection procedures before being allowed to officially enter the secure base.
After Lu Yuan disembarked from the yacht, he immediately returned it to his own space. Since everyone now knew about the existence of superpowers, and if there was a superpower like the convenience store clerk, there should also be space-based superpowers. Before he got off the boat, Gu Nanfeng had told him to just treat it as his own superpower.
After a series of checks and disinfection, Lu Yuan and his group finally entered the South China Security Base, one of China's national security bases. It was many times larger than the previous G City base. In the disinfection hall, they saw a map of the archipelago, clearly showing the function of each area. However, seeing all of this in person still made Lu Yuan sigh and say, "Our motherland is truly powerful."
The person who came to pick them up was Pei Sihao's older brother, Pei Simin. It was actually quite a coincidence; he had sent his younger brother onto the ship here just over an hour earlier.
"You've come at the worst possible time." Pei Simin was still full of resentment with nowhere to vent it, and Gu Nanfeng just happened to walk into the line of fire. The main reason Pei Sihao agreed to the base's arrangements was that he wanted to go inland to find Gu Nanfeng and the others.
"Hmm?" Judging from Pei Simin's expression and tone of voice, Gu Nanfeng roughly guessed that Pei Sihao must have just left the base.
Because everyone on the island had registered to have superpowers, Team Leader Liu and his research team quickly arrived from the research institute. Following them were Gu Nanfeng's parents and sister. However, before the family could reunite, Team Leader Liu took Gu Nanfeng and the other three back to the research institute.
After more than an hour of repeated testing, Team Leader Liu logged the basic information and superpower information of four people into the base's database. At this point, the South China Security Base had eight registered superpower users: two dual-type superpower users (including attack and support superpower users), three pure attack superpower users, two support superpower users, and one space-type superpower user.
Then Gu Nanfeng and his group of four were assigned to dormitories, right next to Pei Sihao's group. However, the best thing for the Gu and Pei families at this moment was that Gu Nanfeng and his group's arrival brought some information about the "Zombie King," so Pei Sihao's group's operation was suspended, and the base agreed to let them return first.
That evening, the base also prepared a welcome banquet for Gu Nanfeng and his group. The base canteen provided them and their families with the highest level of food available at the base at this stage.
Looking at the Gu family elders who were smiling happily, Lu Yuan thought that it was truly a rare thing to be born in the apocalypse and still have family members who cared about you, and to be able to meet, talk, and eat with them.
At this dining table, Gu Nanfeng and Pei Sihao's families were undoubtedly the happiest. Qin Yuan and Lin Yunlu Yuan had never actually asked about their families, but for them, the military was their home, and being able to reach the South China base was something to be happy about.
As for himself, Yang Xiao, Zhong Qiang, and Wei Cheng, who witnessed the deaths of their relatives and companions, they are in the most common situation among the millions of survivors. They were destined never to see their families again from the very beginning of the outbreak, were forced to separate from their families during the escape, and watched their relatives and friends die in front of them.
A dining table is filled with all sorts of human experiences.
After dinner, according to the current rules and regulations of the South China Base, before Team Leader Liu and his team have thoroughly researched the ability users, the eight of them cannot live with the ordinary survivors. Therefore, they can only return to the dormitory assigned to them by the base to rest.
During their meal, Gu Nanfeng and the others briefly discussed the situation in N City, including Du Wenqing's mutation. Du Wenqing wasn't a zombie in the traditional sense, but undeniably, he was the most powerful zombie Gu Nanfeng and the others had ever seen.
"You just said that Captain Du should still be conscious when you left?" Back in the dormitory, Lin Yun brought up Du Wenqing again.
“Yes, I’m sure he was conscious at the time. He really wanted to kill us, but he held back,” Gu Nanfeng said calmly.
“Yes, Captain Du even gave a military salute at the end,” Lu Yuan continued. “He was definitely conscious at the time, but when he first attacked me, he was completely unconscious. He was like this at that moment…”
As Lu Yuan spoke, he took out his phone and showed the photo he had taken of Du Wenqing. In the photo, Du Wenqing's eyes were bloodshot, and his teeth were clearly sharp in his open mouth. His fingernails were thin and long. From the angle of the photo, it was clear that Du Wenqing had lunged at Lu Yuan. If time hadn't suddenly stopped, Lu Yuan's face would have been stabbed with five holes.
“Yes, that’s what I saw Captain Du like that night. He even crushed the head of the zombie he was fighting.” Qin Yuan said, looking at Gu Nanfeng. “If I’m not mistaken, that zombie was the ‘Zombie King’ you mentioned as the strongest one on the other side.”
"Captain Du crushed the 'Zombie King's' head, so isn't Captain Du the strongest 'Zombie King'?" Zhong Qiang listened in a daze for a long time before finally grasping this key point.
"We don't know what's going on now." Qin Yuan shook his head helplessly. "Everyone should get some rest and see what arrangements the base makes tomorrow."
