510 Leave The Old Hades Base (1/2)
After running through the over ten-meters-long path in the zombie crowd, the group of people sat on the ground weakly. They couldn't believe that they had made it.
The path wasn't long, but with those zombies crowded on both sides and reaching their claws forward, it was seriously scary. Some of those zombies had eyeballs missing, and some had noses missing. Those Hades Base people only wished that they could sweep them with bullets.
However, if they did that, some unpredictable consequences might happen, and that wouldn't be any better than the current situation.
As most of those people had rushed through the path, the rest of the people were encouraged. They all turned excited, as if they were taking some kind of interesting challenge.
They had nothing to be afraid of as long as their lives were secured.
The path was narrow, so the people couldn't rush through in groups, and only go one after another. Still, it didn't take long for two to three thousand people to go through the path and gather in the isolation area.
When those people ran through the path, the ones who didn't plan to leave changed their minds. Actually, they had started to change their minds since they heard people say that there were vehicles outside. They backed out a little when they saw the zombie crowd, but then, a zombie path appeared, and the people before them got through safely.
So, they attempted to sneakily follow those people through. But suddenly, the zombie crowd moved again, and the path started to disappear.
”You can get through if you want, but not from the path,” Lin Qiao hopped onto the roof of a truck and said to the people behind the zombie crowd.
Duan Juan and two people started counting the people sitting on the ground and marking their names. She marked the man who rushed over the first and the few people who followed him as a squad.
”You can join the base security force when we get to the new base,” she said.
”Re-really?” Those people paused briefly at first, then immediately showed a delighted look while staring at Duan Juan with glowing eyes.
”Yeah, someone has given you her word. In the new base, Deputy Chief Yuan and the others will give you the authorization,” Deputy Chief glanced at Lin Qiao who was on the truck roof, then said to the few people.
Those people glanced at each other. They were so happy that they didn't even know what to say.
”We… Can we really do that?”
Every base had a base security force to keep the peace inside the base. The soldiers in the base security force weren't as well-paid as the ones in the standard army, but only the soldiers in the base security force had chances to be promoted to the standard army.
The standard army needed to face the enemies from the outside, so all the soldiers in that army needed to be elites or superpowered ones. After all, the outside world had much more dangers than the base. The soldiers in the standard army were very well-paid, and they had everyone's respect.
Even though they didn't earn as much as the members of zombie-hunting squads who often went out of the base to carry independent missions, their jobs were official and glorious. To ordinary people, that glory was not easy to achieve.
”We have to establish a new army for the new base, because all of our old files have been destroyed,” Duan Juan sighed.
If those files were still there, the people who used to serve in the army could be reinstated.
Those few people in front of Duan Juan weren't serving in the army. They were only some commoners in the base. They never joined the base security force or any zombie hunting squad, because no squad wanted them, and they weren't qualified enough for the force. With no other choice, they dawdled in the base.
