Zombie Apocalypse: Reborn With A Farming Space-Chapter 852: Matkuna’s Eggs ( 4 )

Wei Yunli paused for a moment before she continued, "As for the Commander and the rest, they are infected by the parasites."

"Captain Jin and his team had given them a serum to fight the parasites, but the chance of survival is only 20%. During his absence, I need you to help me block this news and take over the security of the base."

Ye Wuze only frowned slightly when he heard this. Managing the entire base’s security was not a problem for him. What he was worried about was Xie Zhou’s safety.

Although he was his superior right now, both of them were comrades who had experienced life-and-death situations countless times together. For him, he was not only a friend, but also a brother.

Noticing his worries, Wei Yunli hesitated for a moment before she reached out and patted his arm. "Don’t worry. The Commander is blessed and will survive this ordeal. With the Phantom Team there, nothing will happen to him."

Ye Wuze was surprised by her sudden friendly gesture.

Since the day they met, he knew that this woman disliked him for an unknown reason. Therefore, he kept his distance from her.

With them working in different fields, they only met during meetings and had very little contact. So, this was the first time for the two of them to sit so close and talk like this.

Even though he was surprised, he didn’t hate her touch. He even noticed that his mood improved slightly after her words of comfort. His gaze softened, and he said, "Thank you."

Wei Yunli was stunned when she saw the slight smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

He was not bad-looking but also not especially good-looking. His face was the type that would be lost in the sea of a crowd. If not for his strong aura, it would be impossible for others to notice him.

She always thought like that until this moment. It was as if a dense fog clouding her eyes had finally cleared up.

This man was actually far from ordinary. While his face was not breathtakingly handsome, it was a rough, masculine type. It’s just that he always kept a stinky, cold expression all day long, which made others not dare to look at him directly.

This was also the reason why she never looked at him directly and could barely remember his face.

Ye Wuze noticed her staring at him directly for the first time since they met. Under her gaze, he felt strangely uncomfortable. After fidgeting for a moment in his seat, he cleared his throat and said, "I will go check the situation first."

After he said this, he quickly opened the car door and left in large strides. From behind, he looked like he was fleeing from a scary witch.

When this thought flashed through Wei Yunli’s mind, she couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. Why did she only realize that he was such an awkward man now?

Fifteen minutes later, an opening as big as a door appeared on the spatial barrier. Leading the group was Feng Yun. He nodded at the guards and said, "They are all safe. There is no need to quarantine them."

"Comrade Feng, how is the situation inside? My brother is still inside," one of the guards asked.

"I can’t give you any answer. We still need to wait before we can take the next step." Seeing the worries on the guard’s face, he added, "We will do our best to save them."

The guard knew that the situation was not promising. There were a lot of cases of infections, and none of the patients were able to survive. So, he didn’t have much hope to begin with.

He held back his tears and said, "Thank you, Comrade Feng."

Feng Yun patted his shoulder and walked back to the building. With a wave of his hand, the opening of the spatial barrier closed again. From the outside, no one could see or hear what was happening inside.

Due to the number of guards surrounding the health center, everyone knew that something had happened in their base. But no one knew the specific information.

At noon, the survivors were crowding the cafeteria and discussing the parasites. While everyone was shrouded in fear and horror, an announcement was made.

"Attention to all residents. To prevent the outbreak of the infection, from today onward, the entire base will be under lockdown. Please return to your houses and stay inside."

"The base will provide every resident with 3 liters of water and 6 steamed buns daily. The central heating will be operating as usual."

"If you need to buy other supplies, you can write a list and place it on your door. The guards will patrol every day. They will help you buy your supplies and deliver them to your door."

"Please note that whoever goes out without permission will be treated as attempting treason and will be punished according to the rules and regulations."

The announcement was repeated 3 times before it stopped.

The moment the residents heard this, most of the commoners and brawlers panicked. They needed to work to earn points. But with the lockdown, they couldn’t do any work.

Even if the base provided them with water and food, they still needed to buy other necessities. Fearing that the situation would return to the time before they joined the base, they quickly went to the supply store and tried to hoard food and water.

The panic buying might cause chaos in another place, but not in the Green Lake Base. Wei Yunli was already expecting this situation, and guards were stationed at the supply stores.

With limited purchasing being implemented, the residents soon realized that there was no need to worry about running out of stock. Calming down, they returned to their houses in an orderly manner.

While the base was under control, the Phantom Team’s members were anxiously waiting for Jiao Lizhi’s news.
