Chapter 101
The armored vehicle drove into the military base in the east of the city, Lin Chen parked the car in front of the command building,
the three got out of the car and walked toward the second basement level. The energy device activated earlier was still running, a blue halo covering the entire space, and the console screen displayed that all data was normal.
Lin Chen walked to the device, carefully checked it, and said to Xia Nuan and Old Zhou: "The device is running stably,
there is no problem for now. Let's organize the equipment here first, then go see if there is anything useful in other parts of the base."
Old Zhou nodded, took the two to the storage room next door, which was piled with many toolboxes and spare parts.
"These were all left by the base before, most of them can still be used." Old Zhou took out a toolbox,
handed it to Lin Chen, "You are responsible for checking the device's circuits, and Xia Nuan and I will organize the parts,
classify them and put them away, it will be convenient to repair equipment in the future." The three had a clear division of labor and soon threw themselves into work.
After organizing the second basement level, it was already afternoon. Lin Chen looked at the time,
and said to the two: "We've been busy for so long, let's find a place to rest. I saw a hot spring pool in the base before, it used to be for staff to relax,
I don't know if it can still be used now." Xia Nuan's eyes lit up,
"There's really a hot spring?
Then let's go take a look, soaking in it should relieve fatigue.
" Old Zhou also said with a smile: "Okay, I've been here for so long, and I haven't been to that hot spring pool yet."
The three walked toward the direction of the hot spring pool, the hot spring pool was on the east side of the base, hidden behind a forest.
After getting closer, they could see a pool built with stones, the water in the pool steaming,
and several stone stools placed around it. "There really is a hot spring!" Xia Nuan said in surprise, reaching out to touch the water temperature, "The temperature is just right, not cold or hot."
Lin Chen said: "There is a changing room here, let's soak separately, I'll wait outside,
call me when you're done." Xia Nuan and Old Zhou nodded and walked into the changing room next door.
Lin Chen sat on the stone stool outside, took out his phone to check the communication signal, ensuring there was no abnormality.
In the changing room, Xia Nuan changed her clothes, walked into the hot spring pool, and sighed comfortably.
Old Zhou also followed in, sat next to Xia Nuan, looked at her profile, and suddenly spoke,
"Xia Nuan, you look exactly like me 70 years ago, like a sunflower flower."
Xia Nuan was stunned for a moment,
and asked with a smile,
"Old Zhou,
what did you look like 70 years ago? There was no doomsday then, life must have been very happy, right?
" Old Zhou nodded, his eyes full of memories: "I was only in my twenties then,
working as an administrator in the base, working with colleagues every day,
after work, I would go shopping and watch movies on the street, life was very stable. I was like you then,
no matter what happened, I was full of vitality, just like a sunflower, always facing the sun."
Xia Nuan listened, and a longing arose in her heart: "If only it could be like that now,
no zombies, no war, everyone could live stably." Old Zhou patted her shoulder: "It will be, with young people like you, you will definitely be able to end the doomsday and let everyone live a good life again."
The two soaked in the hot spring pool for more than half an hour before getting up to change clothes. Walking out of the changing room,
they saw Lin Chen standing at the door waiting, holding two bottles of water in his hand.
"Done soaking?
Are you tired?
" Lin Chen handed over the water bottles and asked. Xia Nuan took the water and took a sip: "Not tired, after soaking, I feel relaxed all over."
Old Zhou said: "It's getting late, let's go back to the command building first, we'll rest there tonight,
and continue organizing the base's equipment tomorrow." The three walked toward the command building, on the way,
Lin Chen suddenly remembered something and said to Old Zhou: "Old Zhou, do you know if there is any place in the base that stores food? We don't have much food left, we need to find some reserve food."
Old Zhou nodded: "Yes! There is a cold storage room on the first basement level, which stores a lot of compressed biscuits and canned food,
all emergency supplies prepared by the base before, they should still be edible. Let's go take a look tomorrow,
if we can find usable ones, we'll move some to the command building for future consumption.
" Lin Chen and Xia Nuan were both very happy, with reserve food, they would feel more at ease staying in the base in the future.
Returning to the command building, Lin Chen found two clean rooms for Xia Nuan and Old Zhou to rest,
while he sat in the hall, checking the energy device's data again. After confirming there was no problem, he walked into his room and lay on the bed.
Thinking of his confession to Xia Nuan during the day, and the scene of them confirming their relationship, Lin Chen couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. He took out his phone, looked at the photo of him and Xia Nuan, his heart full of sweetness.
The next morning, Lin Chen was woken up by the movement outside. Walking out of the room, he saw Xia Nuan and Old Zhou already preparing breakfast in the hall, with bread and milk on the table.
"You're awake? Come over and have breakfast, after eating we'll go to the cold storage room to find food, and then check the base's defense system." Xia Nuan said with a smile.
Lin Chen walked over, picked up a piece of bread, took a bite, and said to the two: "Okay, today we'll organize the base's basic supplies and defense system first, and this will be our safe zone from now on."
The three finished breakfast and walked toward the cold storage room on the first basement level. The cold storage room gate was tightly shut,
Old Zhou entered the password, and the gate slowly opened. It was pitch black inside, Lin Chen turned on his phone's flashlight,
illuminating the surroundings—many compressed biscuits and canned food were neatly placed on the shelves,
and there was also some frozen meat and vegetables. "Great, these foods are still edible!" Xia Nuan said excitedly, and began to organize.
Lin Chen and Old Zhou also followed to help, packing the usable food into categories and moving them to the storage room of the command building. After organizing the cold storage room, the three went to check the base's defense system.
Surveillance cameras and automatic defense cannons were installed on the base walls, Old Zhou checked and said: "Most of the equipment can still be used, as long as we repair it a little,
we can activate the automatic defense function, and if zombies or enemies approach in the future, it can automatically attack."
Lin Chen nodded, took out the toolbox, and began to repair the damaged surveillance cameras.
Xia Nuan and Old Zhou went to check the circuits of the automatic defense cannons, and the three were busy again.
When the sun set, the base's defense system was finally repaired, the surveillance cameras began to work normally, and the automatic defense cannons could also fire normally. Lin Chen stood on the wall,
looking at the sunset in the distance, and said to Xia Nuan and Old Zhou beside him: "This will be our home from now on,
we will live well here and wait for the day the doomsday ends." Xia Nuan and Old Zhou both nodded with smiles, their faces full of anticipation.
