Chapter 132 Jiang Xiaolong's Past
Moreover, judging from Wang Fei's tone, the other side's equipment seemed to be much better than theirs.
Given such good equipment in the apocalypse, why would someone choose to do something like this?
Jiang Xiaolong was a little confused for a moment.
In his mind, after so many years of zombie virus outbreaks, it was almost impossible for such a kind person to appear in the apocalypse.
"Boss, do you think they might be soldiers?"
Wang Fei's voice came through, a hint of suspicion flashing across his face.
Wang Fei then continued speaking.
"Judging from their behavior, demeanor, and expressions, I always felt that they didn't seem like the kind of people who had survived in the apocalypse for so long like us. Instead, they seemed more like soldiers who had just set foot on this land."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaolong frowned and said in a deep voice, "Soldiers, do you think that's possible? If the Emperor were willing to send soldiers to save us, we wouldn't be in this state now."
"The Empire's army is long gone, unless they came from somewhere else."
At this point, a hint of suspicion flashed in Jiang Xiaolong's eyes.
Did it come from elsewhere?
This sentence reminded him of something.
It is said that on the other side of the continent, there is what appears to be an endless ocean.
And in those oceans, it seems that the marine life has also been infected by the zombie virus.
According to Wang Fei, the other party's behavior resembled that of a soldier.
Could it have come from the other side?
Upon hearing Jiang Xiaolong's words, Wang Fei fell silent.
The boss is right. If the Emperor really had a conscience, why would he develop this zombie virus and want to build a powerful bio-army?
Moreover, he had seen the Imperial soldiers before, and they were nothing like the ones in question.
Thinking of this, Wang Fei remained silent for a long time before speaking.
"I had previously communicated with the other party and expressed my desire to have another conversation with them."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaolong suddenly looked at Wang Fei.
"How did they respond?"
"They said that if we wanted to have another exchange, it might have to wait a while, because they were going to explore other areas."
"Explore other areas?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaolong frowned almost imperceptibly.
Has the opponent's strength reached this level?
They were able to freely explore other cities and even return safely alive.
If what the other party said is true, then their equipment is definitely much better than theirs, considering that Wang Fei obtained so much food with just a little gold before making contact.
Jiang Xiaolong had a vague feeling that this time, if a friendly alliance was not established with the other party...
Given their current situation, even with that food providing temporary sustenance, they will soon face their demise.
Jiang Xiaolong kept pointing with his fingers.
In the center of the shelter, which is in that abandoned parking lot.
The emaciated survivors were huddled together for warmth. In the center of the group, a small fire was burning steadily.
The warm yellow flames flickered continuously.
It brought a touch of warmth to everyone.
Everyone knew that the food Faye Wong brought back from her trip was only a drop in the bucket for their current situation. Once the food ran out, they would soon face their demise.
Inside the makeshift command room.
After a long pause, Jiang Xiaolong finally spoke.
"The food you brought is just a drop in the bucket. To truly survive, we need a self-sufficient production line."
"Even the simplest level of growing crops and producing medicines."
"With those things, we have a chance to survive in the apocalypse."
Wang Fei was slightly taken aback.
Although he agreed with what his boss said, how easy would it be to achieve that?
Today, the number of survivors in the entire Vast Ocean Empire is less than one ten-thousandth of what it was at its peak.
Those abandoned farmlands, left unattended, have probably already had their crops devoured by other animals.
They're having trouble even leaving the city, let alone cultivating the farmland.
"Boss, will they really help us?"
Wang Fei's face was full of confusion.
They had only met the other party by chance. Although he had traded some food with them this time, Wang Fei did not think that the other party would help them.
After all, in this apocalyptic world, everyone knows that the human heart is the most dangerous thing.
"No matter what, you have to try your best."
Jiang Xiaolong looked tired and spoke with a sense of melancholy.
"Do you know why I came here instead of staying at my previous base?"
Why?
A hint of curiosity flashed across Wang Fei's face. He knew that his boss had over a thousand survivors in the previous base.
With so many people, the fact that the leader actually came out surprised him.
With so many people, the fact that the leader actually came out surprised him.
However, since his boss had remained silent on the matter, he couldn't keep pressing for details.
But now the other party is bringing it up on their own initiative.
It did indeed arouse a sense of curiosity in Wang Fei.
"Don't be fooled by the fact that our base has thousands of people; we don't know how to deal with those giant zombies."
Jiang Xiaolong spoke with a melancholy tone, as if recalling some painful past event.
"At that time, we were already able to cultivate farmland, produce medicines, and establish our own gun production lines."
"At the time, everyone thought that after the apocalypse, good days would come soon."
"But no one expected that the arrival of a giant zombie would shatter everyone's dreams. And because of that giant zombie, the base where I was before was reduced to only a few hundred percent survivors out of thousands of people."
After saying this, Jiang Xiaolong sighed deeply.
He was one of the survivors from that time.
He went out with a few people to find food, but when they returned, they found the entire base in ruins.
Amidst the chaotic ruins of the base, the traces left by the giant zombie were particularly evident.
Jiang Xiaolong knew this from that time.
These people may only be able to eke out a living like rats in a sewer, hiding in the shadows forever.
No one can handle those giant zombies.
Even the most ordinary zombies are too numerous for them to handle, let alone the existence of beings even more powerful than giant zombies.
Upon hearing this, Wang Fei immediately fell silent.
He never expected that his eldest son would have such a past and experience.
A medium-sized base with over a thousand employees established a simple machining line.
They were so easily wiped out by a giant zombie.
No wonder when he first met the boss, the man was covered in wounds and clutching the meager amount of food in his hand.
