Chapter 334: Chapter 333 Naming it Shiwuguan Base_1

A temperature below five or six degrees might not mean much, but for people who live in southern cities all year round, this is nothing short of hell!

Accustomed to the heavy humidity and winters with temperatures of only eight or nine degrees, people naturally struggle between life and death due to the cold.

This adds insult to injury for countless survivors who are already struggling between life and death, and the death toll soars like a rocket!

As the snow falls more heavily, Tang Ye, experiencing his first snowfall, curiously stands under the eaves of a house, extending a hand to catch the falling snowflakes.

Not far away, survivors are still busy, carting in loads of cotton-padded clothes and distributing them to everyone.

In the center of the large square, a zombie named Electric Screw is sealed in an iron box, his body covered with wires, providing power for the entire gathering place.

In a large pit outside, the pit is filled with densely packed zombie bodies. Zombie rats stand among them, continuously emitting black and yellow fog, which seeps into the zombie bodies, decomposing them into nourishment for themselves.

This is the ability of zombie rats, and it is precisely because of this ability that they are used as tools for dealing with zombie bodies. Each zombie body has no head, and those heads are used to feed Electric Screw, allowing it to replenish its energy.

On the iron box containing Electric Screw, there is a piece of paper stating: "Disobey today, become electricity tomorrow."

The sentence is followed by an emoticon of Director Panda Jin, which looks rather comical, but the contents above are nothing but bloody!

The gathering place now has a name: Shiwuguan Base. The name, which came to Tang Ye suddenly, suggests an attitude of ’I don’t care as long as it doesn’t concern me’.

The reason for this name is simple: while other survivors endure the torment of zombies, Tang Ye doesn’t have to worry about the threat of zombies here; he only has to guard against the distorted human nature of other survivor groups.

Isn’t this place indifferent to the world? No matter the chaos outside, it won’t affect us here.

The gathering place is renamed as a base, signifying Tang Ye’s determination and ambition. The base’s scope is once again expanding, with a steady stream of new survivors joining. The number of New Humans is also rapidly increasing, with more than twenty now in total!

Among them, Bai Huipeng and Xu Changchi have reached Level 3, while Huang Quanjiu, Ruan Chao’en, Zhou Ranjun, and Yang Xiao are all Level 2 New Humans!

With no worry about food, the chance of New Humans appearing among the crowd has increased.

The two responsible for brainwashing the newly joined survivors, Xu Changchi and Ruan Chao’en, have become adept at this task. People who dare to say a word against the rules and regulations are brutally killed by them. Not only do they earn the title of the two kings of the underworld, but they also become one of the taboos of the base.

Since Yang Xiao, who had served in the army and worked as an instructor, joined, Tang Ye had the idea to have him train the survivors according to military standards. While they are not up to the military standards yet, at least they no longer seem like bandits.

Huang Quanjiu was originally a minor leader in charge of the gate, but after other New Humans appeared one after another, his position was promoted by Tang Ye. He was asked to specifically count and keep track of the supplies brought in as taxes. In order to make him look less like a thug, Tang Ye even personally shaved off his yellow hair to give him a more fitting appearance.

However, Tang Ye later discovered that the man wasn’t cut out for warehouse management. In a helpless situation, he handed those duties to a middle-aged woman named Ding Huiyu, who turned out to be quite capable.

This made Tang Ye very satisfied, and he didn’t skimp on rewards.

However, Tang Ye discovered that Huang Quanjiu was better suited as a gatekeeper. He appointed him as the head of security, although not merely in a simple manner. His main duty was to record all information related to the entry and exit of the survivor teams going out to find supplies, without any negligence allowed.

The main reason for having Huang Quanjiu do this was to prevent greed among the survivors and avoid them harming their teammates while out looking for supplies.

Once it was discovered that the number of people returning was less than the number that left, an immediate investigation would be launched. If it was found that they had murdered their own team, the punishment would be death!

After Huang Quanjiu started doing this job, Tang Ye found that he was a talent. He investigated two cases of survivor teams killing each other while out looking for resources.

The consequences, of course, are self-evident.

The law enforcement team set up a table at the corner of a street to manage some affairs. Behind them was a store. The printer in the store was "beeping" away, spewing out flyers one after another.

People came to take away stacks of flyers and dispersed. At the entrance of the base, people were coming and going, all wearing smiles on their faces and thick clothes. However, today’s situation was different.

In the past, people use to carry weapons when they went out, but today, in the teams going out, apart from one or two carrying firearms, the rest were all holding flyers.

They were not going out to find supplies, but to paste these flyers in every corner to let other survivors know that there was a safe base they could go to.

In front of Tang Ye, Nannan was happily running around with a dirty face, looking like a wild child. The people rushing past upon seeing this little one, would quickly avoid her, for fear of irritating her and incurring Tang Ye’s cruel treatment!

Living in the Shiwuguan Base is easy, all one needs to do is obey. People have sufficient clothing and food, which is already the best life one can have in a post-apocalyptic world.

The falling snowflakes are getting larger. Gradually, every falling piece of snow takes the form of a snowflake, and the damp ground starts to frost over.

As if feeling something, Tang Ye retracts his hand, steps forward, picks up the tiny Nannan, and goes into the house. After a while, Nannan’s cries are heard, and soon after, Zhou Ranjun, looking troubled, carries Nannan out and heads towards the female-only housing area.

Ever since the first time Tang Ye asked Zhou Ranjun to take care of Nannan, every subsequent time, he has called on him. But how could a man really take good care of a child?

Tang Ye doesn’t care if Nannan cries or not; he’s purely concerned about her safety. Every time he leaves, she is transferred to Zhou Ranjun, who then hands her over to some female survivors for them to console Nannan.

Although he hands Nannan over to others, Zhou Ranjun doesn’t dare to wander around randomly. He can only watch from the side as the women take care of Nannan.

He understands Tang Ye’s mind, and if anything happens to Nannan while she is in his custody, he would not likely escape unscathed!
