Apocalypse Safe Space

Chapter 75 The Base Coup
In the field outside the base city of City A.

April in the north is cold and cold, and the strong wind blows people's busy figures from time to time. Busy people still feel cold even though they are wrapped in their jackets.The bones are frozen in spring and the meat is frozen in autumn, which means that at this time in the north, the temperature on the surface has risen, but it is actually the coldest, and no clothes can block the spring breeze of freezing bones.

It's spring, the snow in the field has melted away, and the snow slowly seeps into the ground. The surface is blown dry by the spring breeze, but when people step on the ground, more than half of it will sink in. The underground soil is very soft and moist.

This time is a good time to plow the ground and sow seeds.

The food consumption of several 10 people in the past year, no amount of food is enough, and there is not much food in the warehouse.If production is not resumed this year, the base will start to run out of food.

A few days ago, people from the military risked their lives to snatch dozens of carts of grain seeds from the seed market, just to prepare for this year's spring plowing.

Several figures are busy building a spacious platform, which is said to be a rostrum for the leaders of the base.

"Ah! Brother Qian, it's just a spring plowing ceremony. Why do you want to build such a big platform? It's so high, so wide, and you have to leave a door. It's almost as big as a small house. What are you doing with such a big table?" Don’t you have to take it down after you finish speaking?” A man with a mustache and messy hair wrapped his clothes tightly and complained.

"Hush! Hush, don't you want to do it anymore? You can do whatever the officials tell you to do, and you can't do without your food. What kind of society is it now? If you dare to complain and let them hear you, you have to act like Just like the people in the refugee camp, eat that little corn dregs and cob noodles every day, and starve!" After speaking, Brother Qian continued to lower his head and nail the wood.

"Oh, it's just strange, and they didn't say not to do it." The man muttered in a low voice, and continued to work.

The senior management of the base in city A is planning to hold a grand spring sowing ceremony, in addition to the leader's speech and ribbon-cutting, there will also be sacrificial activities.It is said to pray for God's blessing, to eliminate the zombies as soon as possible and resume normal production.

If this is before the end of the world, some people will definitely sneer: Worshiping the sky, isn't it a feudal superstition?However, the post-apocalyptic disasters make people mentally collapsed and have no spiritual support. Many people place their hopes on God and pray for God to bless them to live healthily, so offering sacrifices to God is logical.

In the past few days after returning from the city, the base has been very quiet. People from the city government always smile when they see people from the military, deliberately complimenting them. The two sides live in peace, without any conflicts, not even quarrels.

Have all the people in the city government changed their personalities?too weird!

"Li Tie, don't you think the people in the city government are strange? They are used to bullying the market and causing trouble. How can they be so honest these days? Is there any conspiracy?" I asked Li Tie.

"I'm also surprised, but the military intelligence department has inquired about it. It is said that they have issued a document in the city, asking them to abide by the law, restrain themselves, not to cause trouble, not to conflict with the military, or they will be arrested and sold as slaves. Maybe they were afraid of the people in the military, so they changed their ways." Li Tie explained.

snort!I scoff at the notion.It's strange to believe them, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change!To say that a person like Liu Gouzi will become a good person, unless the sun comes out from the west and the rooster can lay eggs!
"When will the spring planting ceremony be held?"

"Tomorrow, the intelligence department said that tomorrow will be fine weather, with little wind, suitable for offering sacrifices to heaven." Li Tie continued.

It's the intelligence department again, Li Tie and the others really trust the intelligence officers, they even need to arrange the time of the ceremony.When I think of the military intelligence officer's indifferent tone, I get angry, "Ms. Yang has worked so hard to save the convoy and kill T3. My generation of men can't match it. We are in charge of the security work of the ceremony this time. This spring sowing ceremony will not be done." I need you to protect Commander Wang, let the men in our intelligence department sweat." That sour tone was really annoying, if Commander Wang hadn't stopped me, I would have slapped him right away.

Well, it is your internal business to protect Commander Wang. I won't go into this muddy water. If something goes wrong, you have to stand up for it.

The next day, I was bored, so I took Zhang Chang Liu Dajun to go shopping with them, buying this, looking at that, and wandered around the inner city and outer city.

The atmosphere in the base these days is too strange. Although it is quiet on the surface, it always gives people a feeling of undercurrents, as if a big storm is coming.

Today's city government soldiers are also mobilized very frequently. From time to time, some teams rush past us from the downtown area.The atmosphere was tense and depressing.Sacrifice?Why are you so nervous, like a coup d'état.

coup?I stopped suddenly. A few days ago, Xiaoling accidentally revealed that the military was going to be in big trouble. Did she hear that people from the city government were going to do something wrong?In addition, the weird atmosphere at the base these days is telling us that the city government is going to make a big move.

Today, Commander Wang and the others sacrificed to the heavens and took Li Tie with a few supernatural beings and the armed forces of several brigades. The defense force is strong enough, so it should be fine, right?But—the yin and yang face of the military intelligence officer appeared in front of my eyes. They trust this intelligence officer so much. If he does something wrong, wouldn’t it be—dangerous!Danger!

"Mrs. Yang, where are you going shopping?" Li Tie turned around the corner, holding a bag in one hand, which contained what looked like canned beef.

"You, why are you here? Aren't you protecting Commander Wang's safety?" My heart beat violently, and a feeling of uneasiness came to my mind.

"The intelligence officer said that there are several boxes of canned beef that need to be sacrificed to the heavens. I didn't get them at the headquarters, and others couldn't get them out. Let me come back and get them. I'm so sweaty."

"Oops! Go away, Commander Wang is in danger!" I jumped into the Land Rover and shouted at Li Tie.

"Drive quickly, go to the scene of offering sacrifices to heaven!" I urged Zhang Zhang.

"How could it be dangerous? How can there be several reinforced brigades?" Li Tie still didn't change his mind.

"Idiot, do you trust this intelligence officer so much? I was excluded, and you were sent away by him. Can the troops of those brigades withstand the surprise attack of the supernatural beings? Can they prevent him from assassinating secretly? ?” My series of rhetorical questions choked him.

"Wait, Liu Dajun, you go to the military headquarters to call people, the more the better, and the superhuman team is also called, and they all go to the scene of offering sacrifices to heaven. This is my token, and they will trust you. Go!" Li Tie His face changed drastically, and he finally came to his senses.

The car moved quickly, and some pedestrians hurriedly avoided, dropping things all over the ground.Regardless of the cursing sound behind him, the Land Rover rushed out of the outer city like an arrow off the string.Soon at the outskirts of the refugee camp, a small group of soldiers in military uniforms set up defenses at the door, and when they saw a car rushing forward, they stopped it.

"I just received an order from the military department, and martial law has been enforced. Now no one is allowed to enter or leave here, and you can't go out either. Please go back!"

"I'm from the military, Li Tie, don't you know me! Why haven't I heard of martial law? Now that I have official duties, you should step aside immediately!" Li Tie yelled anxiously.

"I said you can't go there, but you can't go there, it doesn't matter what you call it!" The soldiers pointed their guns at him, with a businesslike look on their faces.

"Really? You guys look familiar, do you know me?" I opened the carport to reveal my real face.

"You, who are you? Ah—the devil?" The soldiers looked terrified, and their guns were a little unsteady.These soldiers were all those who followed Liu Gouzi in the small town, Zhang Zhang's comrades-in-arms.Today they were ordered to disguise themselves as military personnel to fortify this place, the purpose is to prevent military reinforcements from going to save Commander Wang.

"You know it's me, but you still dare to point a gun at me, aren't you brave?" I smiled, showing my white teeth again.

"Don't dare, dare not, we are just following orders and dare not disrespect you old man." The soldiers replied weakly, put down their guns obediently, and squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands.

Two figures flashed past, Zhang Zhang Li Tie and the others tied up the soldiers, threw them aside, removed the roadblock, and the car drove to the suburbs like flying.

At the spring sowing ceremony in the suburbs.

The leaders of the base sat on the rostrum. Several leaders spoke in turn. Rows of soldiers stood guard outside the arena. Under the rostrum were the big bosses of the base, celebrities and some farmers who wanted to plow the fields.

The weather was very dry. When Commander Wang spoke, his mouth felt dry and he wanted to drink water.At this time, the smiling intelligence officer handed over a bottle of water in time.

Commander Wang looked at him, unscrewed the lid and took a few swigs.Commander Wang would definitely refuse to drink the water offered by others, but the intelligence officer is an old man in the military and his right-hand man, so how could he doubt and refuse him?
Commander Wang continued to speak after drinking the water, encouraging everyone.But why do I feel like my body is starting to lose strength?The beating of the heart is obviously faster, and I don't have a heart attack?Slowly, Commander Wang felt that it was very difficult for him to open his mouth, his eyes were blurry, and he fell on the table in the venue with his head tilted.

Immediately, the venue was in chaos, "Commander Wang, Commander Wang, what's the matter with you?" The intelligence officer pretended to be anxious and shook Commander Wang vigorously.

"You, you, water, poisonous——" Commander Wang forced himself to open his eyes and stared at the intelligence officer and said, take all precautions, family thieves are hard to guard against, and he didn't expect the person he trusted the most to attack him.

"Hmph, it's too late to know it's poisonous!" the intelligence officer whispered sinisterly, shaking his hands harder.

"Don't shake it, Commander Wang is sick, are you trying to kill the commander by shaking him like this?" The colonel leading the team jumped onto the stage to stop the intelligence officer's actions.But it was too late, Commander Wang had already thrown his hands away, tilted his head, and drove the crane west.

"Commander Wang said his heart was not feeling well, so he must have had a heart attack and died." The intelligence officer still said in a nonchalant manner.

"Nonsense, Commander Wang doesn't have a heart attack at all. It's you, it must be you! You just gave Commander Wang a bottle of water to drink, and something happened after drinking it. You must have poisoned Commander Wang to death!" Colonel Growling, he drew his gun and pointed it at the intelligence officer.
