Chapter 397

The Linjiang City–Wangjiang Military Region direction has a suburban service station.

Are there any new orders coming from the military region direction?

Inside the messy convenience store, a woman in camouflage uniform had a neat ponytail.

She glanced at the soldier fiddling with the radio, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes.

As one of the Wangjiang Military Region's search teams, they are not far from the suspected location of Long'an Base.

According to the statements of Tang Tian and others, the possible locations where Lin An could have established a base are just a few places.

After sacrificing many soldiers to bring back surveillance footage from Linjiang City, they successfully found Lin An's traces before the apocalypse.

Tang Wan's residence, credit company, pharmaceutical company, No. 97 Fengming Road,???, He Yuan Residential Area,???.

In the surveillance footage, the direction of Lin An's last departure from the city was locked onto the southwest.

After repeatedly verifying information with the Capital Military Region, this Lin An matches the suspected Lin An with up to 99% similarity.

Therefore, the Wangjiang Military Region began a large-scale search two weeks ago.

If it weren't for the obstruction of zombies and mutants, coupled with lax defenses, the location of Long'an Base would have been exposed long ago.

"Captain Gao, there are no new instructions from the military region."

"But there is a piece of communication information; the military region means we should follow the zombie tide's movement."

"In the intelligence sent by the Capital Military Region, this gathering of zombie tide is suspected to have been caused by Long'an Base."

"According to calculations, Long'an Base is about to face a city defense mission."

"As long as we follow the zombie tide, we can find Long'an Base's location in one go!"

The soldier fiddling with the radio is somewhat excited.

Just six hours ago, they encountered a converging zombie tide.

This group of zombie tide strangely maintains a uniform step, and internally there are many mutants.

No need to think; this zombie tide's route is definitely Long'an Base.

Their squad is absolutely the "lucky" batch.

Thinking about the orders and generous rewards from the military region, the whole squad is somewhat excited.

Not only did the military region give heavy rewards, the Capital Military Region also offered rewards for whoever first finds Lin An and Long'an Base.

Regardless of military rank! Directly promoted to colonel!

This is not an empty rank, but one with actual military authority!

As for equipment, skills, supplies, and honor, they are so abundant as to make people envious!

The reward for finding Lin An can be described as a leap to the heavens.

The female captain surnamed Gao is named Gao Yan.

She glanced at the team members who couldn't help but discuss in low voices, and involuntarily let out a quiet sigh.

The military region's order is not only to have them find Long'an Base, but also to obtain specific bombing coordinates.

Such coordinates require high precision; if you don't get close or infiltrate the vicinity, you simply cannot obtain them.

Without satellite positioning, we can only rely on people carrying laser measurements.

Dangerous...

Who knows what the defense situation of Long'an Base is like?

Moreover, finding a safe zone by following the zombie tide is not that simple.

If one carelessly triggers a mutant, our own squad would have no strength to resist.

Although everyone is an awakened one, among the seven-person team, only three are first rank.

Gao Yan forced a smile and was not too willing to dampen the team's morale.

The vice captain Zhao Zhiping, who was squatting aside preparing food, noticed her abnormality and couldn't help but smile to comfort her.

"Captain Gao, are you worried that contacting Long'an Base might cause an accident?"

"Actually, there's nothing to worry about."

"Although we don't know why Long'an Base keeps not responding to us, at least it hasn't shown hostility outwardly."

"We represent the authorities; even if exposed then, they wouldn't dare to do anything to us."

"As long as we don't speak, how would the higher-ups know what we intend to do?"

"Isn't there a speculation in the military region? It speculates that this person Lin An has narrow-minded thoughts and lacks a broader perspective."

"He might simply not want to contribute to the country, so he just hid himself."

"This kind of statement, haven't we confirmed it with her fiancée?"

There is some contempt in the speech.

Zhao Zhiping recalled Tang Wan's statement during interrogation; the mysterious veil originally covering Lin An seemed to have been pulled away.

Before anyone knew who Lin An was, almost all Survivors would imagine him/her as a mysterious and powerful being.

Many enthusiasts even added a legendary background to Lin An.

Such as the hermit family, the mysterious powerful beings before the Apocalypse.

Some even said he had already mastered extraordinary powers before the Apocalypse, after all, now there are Awakened Ones, and many people think that the superpowers seen in novels and movies might have existed before the Apocalypse as well.

Even if all the news about Lin An in the channel is negative, it doesn't stop people from thinking that way.

First Safe Zone, can ordinary people achieve that?

But after the 'capture' of Tang Wan's family, those who knew the Inside Information basically didn't take Lin An seriously.

In Tang Wan's description, Lin An himself was merely a retired soldier.

His daily job was escorting medicine; put nicely, he was a special escort; put bluntly, he was just a delivery guard.

Nothing special, even being petty?

According to Tang Wan, Lin An quarreled with her bitterly because he was unwilling to give up the bride price.

But in fact Lin An liked her; had they not been separated, Tang Wan would have long been living with him.

These statements left the interrogators both laughing and exasperated.

The rumor that Lin An had great strength before the Apocalypse fell apart on its own.

In the description, Lin An is just an ordinary person, a lucky fool who got a fluke.

Gao Yan nodded after hearing that and didn't think further.

Indeed, to those unaware of the Long'an Project, Lin An truly has nothing special.

Especially, this person isn't even on the power ranking list.

Among nearly six billion Survivors in Huaxia, over seventy Second Level powerhouses have emerged.

Lin An, an Awakened One not on the ranking, possesses at most First Level strength.

This further confirms that Lin An's founding of the Safe Zone was purely opportunistic.

They dare not appear on the chat channel to recruit; perhaps there are few Awakened Ones in Long'an Base.

Maybe it's a crude small force? Perhaps they're still worn out dealing with minor zombie skirmishes.

As the self-heating hot pot boiled, a rich aroma filled the convenience store.

The soldiers, who hadn't eaten during a day's forced march, had their appetites whetted.

Ignoring the zombie corpses at their feet, several people simply stepped on the zombies' chests and began to eat.

Their mouths were full of fragrance.

A younger soldier picked up a meatball and gulped it down with a huff:

"Captain Gao, don't think too much."

"Perhaps Lin An can't even defeat a Vice Captain."

The hot pot bubbled, and upon hearing that, several people looked with delighted smiles at the satisfied Zhao Zhiping.

As the squad's strongest, they all knew Zhao Zhiping liked the Captain.

As soldiers, they naturally knew what to do.
