Chapter 1120: Chapter 712: Disappointment, the Ruined Big Camphor Tree Base

Dong Tai drove the vehicle, closely following the pickup truck of Yu Ming and the others.

Their vehicles formed a surrounding shape, one on each side.

Inside the car.

Dong Tai looked at Dongfeng and the others on the pickup truck ahead and asked Captain Ju Tianrui, who was sitting in the passenger seat, "Camp Commander, do you think what they’re saying is true?"

Ju Tianrui rolled down the window, letting the wind outside disperse the stuffiness inside the car. He kept his eyes fixed on the vehicles ahead and said after a few seconds, "Looking at those people, it shouldn’t be false, but you never know. Once we bring them to the base and confront Sha Wenji face-to-face, everything will be clear."

"That’s true." Dong Tai thought about it and agreed.

When the vehicles had traveled seven or eight kilometers, Ju Tianrui glanced at a 7-story residential building by the national highway; that was their northern station point of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Zhuzi, who had been on the lookout in the building, had already seen them. Seeing Yu Ming’s people and Ju Tianrui’s group following closely behind, he breathed a sigh of relief.

With Captain Ju and his team there, everything should be alright.

Inside the car.

Ju Tianrui picked up the walkie-talkie and reported to the Big Camphor Tree Base: "Base Base, this is Ju Tianrui. We have now met the strangers mentioned by Yu Ming. According to Dongfeng, the leader of the stranger group, they heard about our base from Sha Wenji and want to come and join us.

We have set off and are bringing these people back to the base. Please respond."

Big Camphor Tree Base, the Outer City wall duty room.

Second Uncle, Li Yu, Dapao, and others were there.

Upon receiving Ju Tianrui’s message, Second Uncle looked at Li Yu, seemingly inquiring.

Li Yu nodded, so Second Uncle pressed the walkie-talkie and said to Ju Tianrui, "This is Big Camphor Tree Base, we have received your message. Bring them back."

Upon hearing Second Uncle’s reply, Ju Tianrui let out a long sigh of relief.

Now, we just need to bring these strangers back. How to deal with them will be judged by Li Yu and the others.

On the bed of the pickup truck.

Old Dong sat at the very edge, hugging his baggage, carefully recalling the sight of Ju Tianrui earlier, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldn’t immediately remember where they had met before.

So he kicked Liu Youguang, who sat across from him.

.......

Liu Youguang, like him, started as a survivor near Chang City. To escape the threat of Corpse Speakers and hearing that the Orange Continent was a good place, they went there together.

However, Liu Youguang wasn’t as lucky with his family; he went with a family of four, but left alone.

Later, during the turmoil on Orange Continent amidst a natural disaster of high temperatures, they realized Orange Continent wasn’t as great as imagined. Not only were there no provisions, they were imprisoned and forced to work, resisting zombies.

What was envisioned as paradise turned out to be purgatory.

Many starved or died from heat, but Gan Shang completely ignored it.

Later, Gan Gaojie disappeared, Xiao Jun left.

During that time, Gan Shang could still regularly transport food from the Western Alliance back to Orange Continent.

Back then, Zhou Liu and three other families were still in the Western Alliance.

The Western Alliance sparked a wave of slave trading, so Gan Shang exploited the food shortages in refugee camps, trading a bushel of millet for a person, and sold these slaves back to the Western Alliance.

At that time, Old Dong’s daughter nearly sold herself for food for the family.

Later, she was stopped by Old Dong’s son, Ah Zheng. In his weakened state, Old Dong decided: he’d rather the family starve than sell his daughter, preventing tragedy.

Later on.

Gan Shang had a major conflict with Ju Tianrui, originally stationed at Orange Continent, primarily because Ju Tianrui hadn’t disclosed the whereabouts of Xiao Jun and others.

In the face of conflict, armed with firearms, Gan Shang dared not confront Ju Tianrui directly.

Ju Tianrui had long been dissatisfied with Gan Shang’s deceit, enslavement, imprisonment, and even killing of survivors.

Taking the opportunity, he opened the city gate of Orange Continent, allowing willing refugees to leave.

That was when Old Dong and Liu Youguang departed from the refugee camp.

Returning to Chang City, coinciding with the Corpse Speakers north had been eradicated by the Big Camphor Tree Base, eliminating the threat and forced offerings.

On the shores of Poyang Lake, led by Dongfeng with a thousand people, crops were planted along the fertile lakeside land, nourished abundantly without major natural disasters.

Poyang Lake Base prospered and continuously absorbed surrounding survivors, everything moving towards a better direction.

During that time, Old Dong and Liu Youguang joined and survived.

In Orange Continent, without Ju Tianrui’s restraint, Gan Shang grew more arrogant, treating the remaining refugees more harshly.

Gan Shang even indulged his men in numerous incidents of arson, murder, and looting in the refugee camp on Orange Continent.

These refugees wanted to leave, regretting not leaving earlier, but it was too late.

Soon after.

The super disaster struck.

....

The scorching sun, months without rain, severe drought, and acute water shortages. Though zombies were seldom seen during the day, the extreme water shortage presented a dire thirst crisis for survivors.

Next, in the scorching weather, global warming caused temperatures to suddenly rise to sixty or seventy degrees Celsius.
