The End of the World: I am a rent collector in a shelter

Chapter 155 Liancheng Base
Ji Wanwan stretched her sore body and went back to her room to take a shower and rest.

After a good sleep, Ji Wanwan took out the walkie-talkie and called the core members to a meeting. The theme of this meeting was to expand the base.

After returning from Jiangcheng, she has always had some ideas in her mind, but she has no time to put them into action. Now that the base has entered a stable period, it is time to start considering expansion.

I just finished notifying you and the long-awaited task reminder sound came.

[Beep——]

[New mission: Expand the base range (Liancheng base)]

[Task completion time: 30 days]

[Task completion reward: restore Liancheng city system (the city area exists independently, is not interfered with by other cities, and can resist evolved zombies of level 5 and below); can select a person to awaken a common superpower; the host can choose four items of physical fitness to increase by 80 points]

[Mission countdown: 29 days 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

The system's mission was just as she thought.

Now, all the zombies in Liancheng have been eliminated except in remote areas, and Liancheng can be completely rebuilt.

Although Liancheng is not a first-tier city, it has a fairly complete urban system and a large area. Once the entire city is developed into a survivor base, it will be able to absorb most of the survivors in China to seek refuge.

Soon, all the core members of the base arrived.

Ji Wanwan briefly explained her ideas to everyone.

Everyone had different expressions. Some thought that Ji Wanwan was too radical and that it was enough to defend the current base. Some thought that Ji Wanwan's idea was very bold and worth a try. Others didn't care and let Ji Wanwan give them orders. They would fight wherever Ji Wanwan pointed.

After a heated discussion, a compromise conclusion was finally reached.

The base's combat power is divided into three waves. One wave guards the current base's safety, and one wave conducts a carpet cleanup of Liancheng to ensure that no zombies are left behind. After each area is cleaned, it will be marked and rebuilt by the last wave of troops.

Since the base is backed by mountains and is located on the edge of Liancheng, the cleaning and reconstruction tasks are carried out with the base as the center to the other end of Liancheng.

When it comes to the border between the two cities, the reconstruction workers will build a high-density hole guardrail and pass high voltage electricity through the guardrail to kill the zombies with one touch.

In this way, the expansion task of the base began in full swing.

The people in the base work hard every day, especially those who originally lived in Liancheng, who put all their efforts into rebuilding their homes.

Ji Wanwan has been busy these days. She accompanies Qi Hao's grandmother from time to time, tries to wake Qi Hao up every day, massages Xia Li's limbs before bed to prevent muscle necrosis, inspects the base regularly, occasionally takes people to the next city to kill a wave of zombies and search for some supplies, gives guidance on the expansion of the base every now and then, regularly maintains the relationship between the core members, etc...

On this day, Ji Wanwan left the base to inspect the reconstruction work in Liancheng.

When she arrived at the designated area, she saw someone who looked familiar.

Wang Youde?!

Ji Wanwan's body trembled, and some long-lost memories came to her mind.

Oh dear, before going to Jiangcheng, she had promised Wang Youde that he would come to find her, but she forgot! !

This kid, why didn't he say anything even though she's been back for so long? !
Ji Wanwan felt ashamed.

Just as she was about to call Wang Youde, someone spoke before her.

"Hey, who is this! Come over here and spit some fire! Help me weld these two!" A middle-aged man wearing a helmet looked at Wang Youde in a commanding tone. The man who was ordered around lowered his head, and his emotions could not be seen.

He walked forward with a dragging step, raised his hand slightly, and started breathing fire in the direction the middle-aged man was pointing.

I haven't seen this kid for a long time, and he has awakened his fire ability! He is indeed a good talent!
A trace of relief flashed across Ji Wanwan's eyes.

But looking at Wang Youde's appearance, why does he seem to be keeping his head down and lowering his head?
Ji Wanwan, who was originally planning to call for help, turned her eyes away and said nothing. Instead, she stood quietly not far away, looking at Wang Youde quietly.

Something was just welded here, and the man wearing a safety helmet pushed Wang Youde with his hand: "Go, bring me some water."

Ji Wanwan narrowed her eyes.

If the previous matter was a business matter, the tone could be almost understood, but what about helping to get water?
This is a bad attitude. Anyone with a bit of blood in his veins would resist, right? What's more, he is an awakened person with special abilities!
But the fact was that Wang Youde had no intention of resisting at all. Instead, he hung his head and walked towards the place where the supplies were stored without saying a word.

Even though Ji Wanwan was slow-witted, she could tell that something was wrong with Wang Youde.

What's wrong with this kid?
What happened to the kid during the time she was away from the base?
On the ruins to be rebuilt, Wang Youde handed the water to the man and was about to turn around to do his own thing when he heard the man behind him sneer: "Little white face, even after awakening the superpowers, he is still a weakling..."

Wang Youde's hands hanging by his side suddenly clenched, and the veins on his forehead bulged visibly.

He is angry.

Just when Ji Wanwan thought he was going to take action, he suddenly unclenched his fists, lowered his head and walked away.

The man in the helmet smiled even more contemptuously.

Even Ji Wanwan felt uncomfortable hearing the shrill laughter, let alone Wang Youde?
Seeing Wang Youde walk to the corner and sit down by himself, Ji Wanwan couldn't bear it anymore and walked towards him.

A shadow fell in front of his eyes. Wang Youde, who was eating compressed biscuits, was slightly startled. He frowned impatiently before looking up.

Seeing Ji Wanwan in front of him with anger, he felt a lump in his throat and even forgot to chew the biscuits in his mouth.

"Lord?"

How long had it been since he last saw the lord?
It seems like it’s been a long time...

He thought the lord had forgotten about him, but he didn't expect him to suddenly appear in front of him.

Wang Youde put the unfinished biscuits into his pocket with a half-smile, and stood up from the ground: "My Lord, what instructions do you have for me this time?"

Hiss, Ji Wanwan heard a hint of complaint and grievance.

In an instant, she seemed to understand something.

She pursed her lips slightly and spoke softly: "Before, I went to Jiangcheng for an emergency mission. After I came back, I was so busy with the semi-infected people that I had no time to take care of other things. Later, the expansion of the base was imminent..."

"So, you just forgot about me..." Wang Youde sneered and interrupted her: "Right?"

Ji Wanwan choked up in her throat and shut up instantly.

She was most afraid of the sudden silence in the air. The man in front of her had a stubborn look in his eyes, which made Ji Wanwan's claws numb. She felt like she had let down her young wife.

"Ah, this...this, this, this..." Ji Wanwan stuttered rarely.

Under the man's expectant gaze, she gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I just forgot!"
