The Last Rock Emperor - Chapter 88

Chapter 88 To The Base
The reason why Yifan decided to bring Ji Ruoxue and Qiangzi’s team was because the two teams had the least number of injured people. The injured people were left behind to follow Eyeglasses.

Yifan had already instructed his spectacles. He had to wait for the wounded to recover before heading on his way. There was no rush for a day or two. Their journey was not very far, and it was only 65 kilometers away.

Cauliflower was left on the side of Glasses and the others. Before Yifan left, he once again brought Cauliflower in front of his parents to listen to their words and protect them. Cauliflower already possessed a high level of intelligence. She could comprehend as much as she wanted. With Fei Na and Glasses, Yifan felt much more at ease.

On the LY Expressway, three off-road vehicles, a medium-sized truck, and Mercedes-Benz were on the road. The people on this trip were Yifan, Ji Ruoxue, Zhang Liang, Qiangzi, Wang Yang, Zhou Xin, and the Tianyan Five Birds and Xionglu Squad. There were a total of 16 members who had maintained their full combat strength after the war.

On the LY Expressway, there was a thick layer of dust on the road. Discarded vehicles could be seen everywhere. Each and every one of the huge craters had some impact on the speed of the crowd. It was much more desolate than when Yifan and the others first came over.

Many special sections of the road, such as viaducts, were severely damaged. In the apocalypse, incomparably fierce battles for survival occurred at every moment. Zombies fought against humans, zombies fought against mutated beasts, mutated beasts fought against humans, or even a tripartite melee. These battles destroyed many of the construction that humans had invested heavily in.

A year later, humanity will bid farewell to gasoline, and gasoline-powered vehicles will be turned into a pile of scrap metal.

At noon, Yifan put down his thoughts and opened a map left behind by the military. Inside was a white card the size of an invitation. There were two lines of text on the card, the C City Survivor Base, the S Class Pass, and a special steel seal of the C City Survivor Base.

Seeing this pass, Yifan grinned. He thought to himself, is the military still very meticulous? Putting down his thoughts, he picked up the map.

Yi Fan had known where the earliest military survivor base in C City was in his previous life, but he still picked up the map and looked at it casually.

Seeing that the location of the base marked on the map hadn’t changed from what he remembered from his previous life, he didn’t look at it again.

The four cars were running on the highway. Qiangzi was leading the way with a medium-sized truck. Zhou Xin was driving an off-road vehicle after Qiangzi. Yifan turned on the radio boredom.

There was an endless repeat broadcast from the C City Survivor Base on the radio. The general content was to recruit all survivors and enter the C City Survivor Base to defend against zombies and rebuild their homes.

It was less than 70 kilometers away from the base. It was about the same as Yifan’s journey home from school. Two hours before the apocalypse was enough. Now was the apocalypse, and the journey would not be too peaceful. There were no cauliflower on the road. Qiangzi and Wang Yang also got off several times to clean up the road.

Of course, they also encountered many zombies and survivors. However, at this stage, the threat of small-scale zombies to Yi Fan and the others was practically zero. Although there were only 16 people following Yi Fan to the survivors’ base, apart from Yi Fan, there were five captains and vice captains. The rest of the team members were all Third Grade experts.

Therefore, although they didn’t walk very fast, they didn’t encounter any troublesome problems. As for the survivors, they hurried all the way and didn’t pay much attention to them. At around 4 pm, Yi Fan and the others finally arrived outside the main gate of the base.

A tall wire was installed outside the perimeter wall of Survivors’ Base in C City. There was a long line in the base, and there were several tables in front of it. Every person who entered the base had to leave a file for the management of the base.

Looking at the long queue, Yifan couldn’t help but recall the scene of himself queuing up here in his previous life, as if it was yesterday.

The military base in C City was built on the base of the army before the apocalypse. This place was relatively secret, not far from the city. In peacetime, few people came. Before the apocalypse, this area was a forbidden area. Civilians were not allowed to trespass randomly.

Close to 100 meters in front of the door, there was a large gate. There were three fences in front of the gate, and the large iron gate was tightly closed. There was only a small gate open. On the opposite side of the gate, there were two new sentinel towers. Dozens of soldiers dressed in camouflage were patrolling in front of the gate.

Inside the iron gate, there was a guard room on the left and a row of obviously new camouflage boards on the right.

Yifan and the others drove closer and attracted the attention of countless people. Being able to drive here from afar these days was not something an ordinary person could do.

As soon as Yi Fan and the others’ vehicles approached, the ten or so guards immediately pointed their guns at them.

A guard warned, “Vehicles in front stop quickly. This is a military survivor’s base. You can’t barge into it randomly.”

Yifan stopped the convoy and tossed the pass to Zhou Xin. “Zhou Xin, take the pass and show them. They will let us pass.”

Zhou Xin got off the car with the pass Yifan gave him and walked towards the guards.

When the fully-armed guards saw that Zhou Xin did not have any dangerous actions, they only walked towards them and put down their guns. A guard went up to greet them.

Seeing that Zhou Xin’s clothes were neat and his expression was normal, the guard asked, “Are you here to defect to the base?”

Zhou Xin hung up the pass in his hand and said, “We were invited to the base to discuss some matters, not the survivors who came to seek refuge.”

The guard took the pass in Zhou Xin’s hand and was immediately shocked. He quickly saluted Zhou Xin and said, “Wait a moment, your pass is too high. I need to report it to the higher-ups.”

Zhou Xin nodded in response, and the guard immediately rushed towards the camouflage room.

A moment later, a dozen or so people walked out of the guard room and walked towards Zhou Xin. The leader was a middle-aged man who was also fully armed.

He quickly ran over and said, “Hello, I’m Guard Company Commander-Gu Jian. Our commander has told us that if anyone comes in with an S-class pass these two days, inform the headquarters office immediately and send you to the headquarters immediately.”

Zhou Xin nodded and said, “Can we drive in?”

Gu Jian immediately said to the soldiers beside him, “Third platoon leader, have your men open the door.”

“You guys drive behind me. I’ll take you to headquarters.” The style of the soldiers was to act swiftly and without the slightest delay. Gu Jian gave the order with utmost decisiveness.

“Buzz …!” A soldier drove a vanguard off-road vehicle. Gu Jian got into the vehicle directly. Zhou Xin immediately returned to the vehicle and drove after him. This time, Qiangzi’s medium-sized truck was at the end.

The base was relatively large. Everyone drove for nearly 10 minutes. They passed through countless checkpoints before arriving at several seven-or eight-storey buildings. In the parking lot of the building in the center, everyone parked their vehicles.

The building in front of him seemed to be an office building in the Pre-apocalyptic Military Region. At this time, it was already the headquarters for the upper echelons of the military survivors’ base in C City.

Everyone got out of the car. Most of the casual clothes they wore today were civilian clothes. Since they were already in the military, there was no need to hide anything anymore. Because Yifan’s purpose this time was to trade with the military, it was inevitable for him to show his strength.

When Gu Jian saw all of them get off the car, he was so shocked that he was speechless. A total of 16 of them were actually at the Third Grade level. Moreover, their auras were astonishing and their eyes were calm, causing Gu Jian to feel a little disbelief.

One of the 16 people stood at the front of the group, and one of them was a skinny youth with an ordinary and resolute expression. He had read the information of Yifan and the others and knew that this ordinary young man was the leader of the group.

Gu Jian walked to Yifan’s side and said, “I think you are the legendary Zhu Yifan. I have seen your information and it is indeed better to meet you than to be famous.”

“Commander Gu, you must be joking. I’m just a flat-headed commoner who has some luck. Compared to the true iron-blooded warriors in the army, I’m still far behind.” The person in front of him, Yifan, had seen him in his previous life. He knew that this person was righteous and straightforward, so he said modestly.

Company Commander Gu laughed loudly, “I didn’t expect you to be quite modest. You don’t have the personality you should have at your age at all. However, I like your temperament of being neither arrogant nor impetuous.”

At this point, there were a few officers dressed in regular uniforms in the building. Gu Jian immediately straightened his body and greeted them. After a standard salute, he said, “Chief, Zhu Yifan and the others are here. Please give us instructions.”

“Well, you’ve completed your mission. There’s nothing else for you here. Go back to your post,” said a sturdy commissioned officer after saluting.

Gu Jian saluted again, “Yes!” Gu Jian didn’t say hello to Yifan anymore and left with his two soldiers.

The burly middle-aged officer quickly walked over and looked at Yi Fan. “This little brother is Zhu Yifan, right?”

Yifan said calmly, “Yes! I just don’t know how to address Big Brother.”

The middle-aged officer said, “I am a small staff officer under Captain Zhao, Fang Boyi. Captain Zhao is already waiting for you upstairs.”

Yifan nodded and said, “Then please lead the way.”

Fang Boyi turned around and walked inside without any nonsense. Yifan and the others followed. Fang Boyi turned around and revealed a peculiar expression. The first time he came into contact with him, he felt that this person was not simple. Ordinary people entering this important place in the army must be cautious. Although this young man had a reputation outside, in the end, he had only fought with military evolvers, proving his abilities and worth to the common people.

In essence, he was still a student. Not long after arriving at the base of the military region, he chatted and laughed with the company commander of the security company. When he saw him and the others, he was even more calm and composed, without the slightest bit of nervousness on his face.

He, who was originally quite different from the military in recruiting this time, also agreed with quite a bit. It seemed that he was truly a Void Warrior with no wind and a reputation of being a Void Warrior.

Yifan calmly followed behind Fang Boyi. The other team members did not follow him. The weapons on Yifan’s body were also stored in the Heavenly Rock Ring long ago.

Very quickly, Yi Fan and the others arrived outside a huge reception room. There were no fewer than fifteen people in the reception room. They were also chatting in small groups.

While everyone was chatting, a guard quickly ran in and saluted, “Chief Zhao, Staff Officer Fang, send word that the person you want to meet is already outside the door.”

Zhao Yewei immediately said, “Quickly let him bring him in.”

The people who were still chatting quickly quieted down. They sat in their own seats. They were all extremely curious and expectant. What exactly was this legendary folk expert like, and who was he?
