Chapter 75

Gu Feng, wearing tattered military uniform, smiled and shot himself.
This scene lingered in Lin Qianhuan’s mind, never ceasing for two lifetimes.
Now, the guilt in her heart had finally disappeared.
Lin Wansheng saw the smile on her face and was in a good mood as well.
“That’s good. The residents of Silver Bay Gardens have now followed the main force to the Kyoto Base, so we can have some peace and quiet for a while.”
He walked to the dining table to eat breakfast. Lin Qianhuan opened the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room. Even from a distance, she could still hear the noisy commotion.
“Peace and quiet?
I’m afraid it’s still early.”
Lin Wansheng looked up at her, a small steamed bun in his mouth, his face full of doubt.
“Why? People have moved away, and there are probably not many survivors left in Silver Bay Gardens, right?
In that case, the impact on us is actually not that great, and it’s not even a threat.”
Lin Qianhuan sighed: “One group leaves, and naturally another group will come.
The number of newcomers will only be more than the number of people who moved away. Silver Bay Gardens will probably be very lively then.”
Lin Wansheng’s hand holding the chopsticks paused slightly, and he immediately understood Lin Qianhuan’s meaning.
Although the radio said that the army would only wait at the assembly point for two hours and would not wait past the deadline.
But who would be willing to give up this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?
No matter how far away from the eastern suburbs, all survivors who received the news would rush to the assembly point as soon as possible to try their luck.
After all, most people like to hope for a “what if.”
What if the assembly time is extended?
What if they are lucky enough to make it?
What if…
Because of these two words, the number of survivors coming to the eastern suburbs to assemble soared, but those who could arrive on time were always in the minority.
After the army leaves on time, what should those survivors who are late do?
They can’t possibly go back to their original residences and continue to survive, right?
Most people will naturally set their sights on Silver Bay Gardens, after all, most of the survivors here have already moved to the Kyoto Base.
Countless empty houses are waiting for their new owners, and the survivors who missed the relocation will naturally not give up this decent place to live.
After all, the number of zombies in the eastern suburbs is the lowest in the entire Yuncheng.
Everyone is not stupid, everyone knows which place is more suitable for survival.
Lin Qianhuan no longer stood by the window enjoying the breeze, and turned to go back to her bedroom to rest.
She slept too late last night, and now her eyes were still sore and swollen.
Eastern Suburbs Assembly Point, 10:00 AM.
“Captain Gu, let’s go. The survivors in the queue have already been settled, it’s time to leave.”
A tall soldier walked up to Gu Feng and gave a straight salute.
“There are still many survivors in the queue, they…”
Gu Feng hesitated, but he still hardened his heart and gritted his teeth: “Tell the whole team to set off.
Pay attention to safety, and be sure to protect the survivors inside the cars.”
“Yes.”
One van after another began to move, with military trucks surrounding them, responsible for patrolling and hunting zombies.
Many survivors who missed the opportunity to get on the bus due to being late desperately followed behind the convoy.
“Stop the car! Save us! Stop the car!”
The cries for help, curses, and wails were mixed together, like the most terrifying hell on earth.
Despair permeated everyone’s hearts.
But military orders were like mountains, and even if Gu Feng felt tangled and sad, he did not dare to gamble with the lives of so many soldiers and survivors.
Every second of delay was a second more of danger.
Seeing the convoy leaving them far behind, the survivors, who had not eaten for a long time, collapsed to the ground.
They no longer had the strength to chase after them, so they could only stop and think of other ways.
But the eastern suburbs were so desolate, where could they find a place to stay?
Everyone felt bad and turned their heads dejectedly, but saw an exquisite and luxurious villa district.
“There’s a place to live!”
The survivors turned their directions to Silver Bay Gardens. The villas here had undergone the baptism of zombies and humans, and were more or less damaged.
But most of them did not affect their residence. With a little repair, they could become a brand new shelter.
More and more people poured into Silver Bay Gardens, so many that even the zombies in the villa area were besieged by humans, leaving not a single one.
Lin Yixuan sat in the monitoring room and observed the situation outside. On average, at least 20 people had moved into each villa.
He held the teacup in front of him and took a light sip, his heart heavy.
There were too many people, and when there are too many people, there will be more trouble.
But this was not something that Villa 36 could interfere with. They could only increase their vigilance and reduce the risks from the outside.
All day long, people came and went in Silver Bay Gardens, which was extremely noisy.
It was not until night fell that it barely quieted down, but it was still much livelier than before.
After all, the number of people was clearly displayed here.
Lin Qianhuan sat at the dining table eating dinner, not surprised by the current situation.
She slurped a mouthful of noodles, which were hand-pulled by Lin Wansheng, strong and smooth, and very delicious.
“The current Silver Bay Gardens can actually be called a small survivor settlement.
Looking at the number of people in the villa area, it is estimated that it has exceeded 1,000 people.”
Lin Yixuan pushed the green pepper shredded pork in front of her: “Since we live here, we will inevitably have to deal with the survivors in the villa area.
The twists and turns in it are enough to make your head hurt just thinking about it.”
Lin Qianhuan was about to speak when she heard a banging on the door.
She and Lin Yixuan looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other’s eyes.
“Don’t worry about it, let’s just eat.”
Lin Qianhuan focused on slurping noodles. Half an hour passed, and the dining table was cleaned up, but someone was still tirelessly banging on the metal gate outside.
Lin Yixuan stood up from the sofa and stuffed the peeled apple into Lin Qianhuan’s hand.
“I’ll go take a look, otherwise you won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
Lin Wansheng hurriedly followed behind him: “I’ll go with you.”
The two walked out of the villa’s security door one after the other and came to the metal gate.
They didn’t need to open the door to communicate with the people outside.
Lin Yixuan took the lead in speaking: “What’s the matter with knocking on the door for so long?”
Finally someone responded, and the voice of the person outside the door sounded a little excited: “Hello, I am a survivor who fled from the city center to the eastern suburbs.
My surname is Zheng.”
Lin Yixuan didn’t want to exchange pleasantries with him, let alone say some pointless nonsense.
“Get to the point.”
Zheng Liye outside the door no longer procrastinated and hurriedly responded: “You should be the original residents of Silver Bay Gardens, right?”
“Yes.”
“I’m from Emerald Lijing in the city center. I came to you today because I have something to discuss.
Silver Bay Gardens is far away from the city center, and there are very few zombies.
We plan to gather manpower and resources to build this place into a privately-run small base.
Do you have any objections?”
Lin Wansheng listened to the man outside the door through the iron gate, his eyes dark and deep.
“Whether I have any objections depends on whether your actions will affect the interests of our Villa 36.”
