The next day.

The helicopter left the military base, flying toward Zijin Base.

Even after a night had passed, Wang Tao was still somewhat excited.

The twenty thousand survivors at Zijin Base… might have a chance!

“Old He, do you think they’re reliable?”

Wang Tao looked toward the main pilot, He Jijun.

“Hard to say, but I think they should be fairly reliable. Of course, I have no basis for that, just a gut feeling, haha!”

He Jijun laughed heartily.

Wang Tao smiled and shook his head, then said no more.

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. If he didn’t get his hopes up too much, he wouldn’t be disappointed.

Of course, this was just for him personally. For most people, it was still necessary to have hope.

After a while, the helicopter arrived over Zijin Base.

Wang Tao could clearly feel that the number of zombies surrounding the base had increased a lot. Moreover, these zombies were no longer just encircling the base, they had begun to attack Zijin Base!

The zombies continuously slammed against the high walls, and even some Mad Demon Zombies began to stack on top of each other, trying to climb over the wall!

Fortunately, there were survivors on top of the wall defending it. They threw down stones, wood, and even used flamethrowers and firearms to stop the zombies.

At this critical moment of life and death, there was no need to worry about the noise anymore, and also the din from the zombies’ howling together wasn’t small.

The arrival of the helicopter instantly attracted a lot of attention from the zombies, which became even more frenzied. They stared at the helicopter with their gray-white eyes, as if trying to bring it down!

Wang Tao also saw several Level 3 Zombie Lords. But these Level 3 Zombie Lords were not at the foot of the high wall; they were farther away, out of the reach of the survivors’ attacks on the wall.

Before coming to Zijing City, Wang Tao had already taken out his phone and recorded the situation along the way. Over Zijin Base, he took some key videos before asking He Jijun to land.

Buzz, buzz—

The helicopter slowly settled on the helipad specially designated by Lan Yulian.

Lan Yulian and Lu Yingfeng were waiting below with umbrellas for him.

“When did these zombies start attacking?”

Wang Tao asked upon getting off the helicopter.

“It started last night. They went crazy! I suspect there’s a Zombie Lord commanding them. I specifically had people shoot at those Zombie Lords, but the zombies’ attack didn’t weaken at all. Those Zombie Lords, however, smartly hid in the back…”

Lan Yulian’s face was very grim.

Wang Tao instantly understood.

No wonder those Zombie Lords did not come over; they were actually scared off by Lan Yulian.

Zijin Base already had some armed soldiers, and Wang Tao had also air-dropped some weapon equipment for Lan Yulian. However, because the gunfire was too loud, they usually didn’t use them. But under the current circumstances, there were no such concerns. Even Level 3 Zombie Lords had to avoid the edge of modern firepower.

“I’ve brought you some weapons this time.”

Wang Tao had the cargo removed from the aircraft.

Lan Yulian looked like she wanted to say something but hesitated. She really wanted to ask about the situation with the large survivor base, whether there was a possibility of retreating there. But she was afraid to receive a disappointing answer…

Wang Tao did not tell Lan Yulian about Changhe City Base’s plans to rescue them. It’s better not to get too excited until things were certain.

Moreover, Wang Tao was a bit skeptical—not that he doubted the others’ willingness to come, but he didn’t know how they would arrive, considering the thousand kilometers separating them, all swarming with zombies, and such a journey… seemed like a fatal endeavor!

After all the cargo was unloaded from the aircraft, Wang Tao turned to Lan Yulian and said:

“Gather everyone who’s not busy right now; I need to make a video and have them all filmed.”

“Ah? Okay!”

Lan Yulian was somewhat puzzled, but didn’t ask further.

Zijin Base had a large indoor assembly hall, initially designed for large meetings, and it could accommodate many people.

It didn’t take long for everyone who wasn’t on guard duty at the wall or on shift rotation, including logistics staff, to arrive. After all, Wang Tao only needed to make a video, which wouldn’t take too much time.

The survivors inside the base didn’t know what was going on and whispered among themselves, generally feeling it might be something like a pre-battle mobilization.

For a moment, everyone’s faces were filled with sadness and fear.

Hiding within the high walls of the base, they were still unable to escape the zombies…

When everyone had gathered, Wang Tao came out with Lan Yulian and a few others.

Looking at the throng of people, Wang Tao’s emotions became a bit complex. If the base fell, these people would all become food for the zombies…

Lan Yulian had everyone line up properly, the strong and tall standing at the back, and women and children at the front.

“Everyone look at me, at the camera!”

Lan Yulian held up her phone and shouted, and once everyone was looking at her, she then activated the video recording mode and captured everyone.

Some survivors, seeing Lan Yulian’s action, felt a chill in their hearts and began whispering:

“This kind of feels like we’re taking a final photograph…”

As one person spoke out, the others instantly felt a cold shiver down their spines. It seemed indeed possible!

After a person’s death, something should be left behind as proof they had lived. Now, as they had nothing much to leave behind, leaving a video for others to see seemed reasonable… if there were to be others after them.
