Chapter 5 Stepping Stones in the End Times

the next day.

Yunyan got up early in the morning. After getting dressed, she quickly went to the underground parking lot and chose an off-road vehicle of good quality.

The owner of the car was not in the car, only a pool of blood and car keys were left. It seemed that he had also become one of the zombies.

Yunyan cleaned up and drove out.

Here, Jiang Yuchuan and others woke up and found Yunyan missing. They were very anxious and went downstairs to look for her. They happened to run into Yunyan who was driving back.

"Sister Yunyan, where have you been? We were so scared when we didn't see you just now!" Zhang Qing asked hurriedly, and the anxious expression on his face was not fake.

Yunyan smiled and replied, "We didn't have enough cars, so I went to find another one!"

Li Yuling threw herself into her arms and said, "Sister Yunyan, you are so kind to us! I love you so much!"

Li Yuling is a very outgoing girl, especially when facing someone she likes, her love is beyond words.

Yunyan was confused by this sudden hug. This was her first time hugging, and it turned out to be like this!

"Okay, everyone is watching! Let's go first!" Although this feels not bad, it always feels weird to hold it all the time.

The people around just smiled and got on the bus.

Although Zhang Qing and Li Yuling were college students, they had both passed the driving test, so they volunteered to be the drivers.

Yunyan felt very pleased that the boy was teachable.

They didn't encounter many zombies along the way. Many zombies walked around the two cars. Yunyan didn't know that her reputation for brutality had spread among the zombies.

The journey was basically smooth.

"How long will it take to reach the base in City B?" Yunyan asked.

Jiang Yuchuan, Chen Jingyang and Yunyan were in the same car, and Zhang Qingzheng was driving attentively.

"We'll probably arrive tomorrow afternoon, but the road is not very safe right now. We have to be extra careful if we pass by." Jiang Yuchuan frowned. It looked like this place was a bit tricky.

"Oh?"

Yunyan raised the last syllable of her voice, expressing her doubt.

"There is a men's prison along this road. After the end of the world, some vicious people have occupied the place. We suffered losses here when we passed by on a mission before. So we'd better take a detour!"

Listen to others and eat enough.

Yunyan was not rebellious and did not want to provoke these crazy people. The master said that some crazy people, even if they were not very threatening, would bring trouble to oneself if provoked.

After she builds the base, she will use cannons to bombard the prison.

"Then I'll listen to you! Zhang Qing, let's take a detour!"

"Okay!" Zhang Qing answered promptly and decisively.

Yunyan and her group took a detour through the men's prison. But what she didn't know was that the boss of this prison was Yu Han, one of the male protagonists of the heroine Luo Li.

He's also a paranoid and yandere male protagonist!

The boy was impulsive and committed a crime, so he went to prison. He and the heroine had a sadomasochistic love affair, and in the end, he was taken into the harem by the heroine's powerful aura, Luo Li.

Even if Yunyan knew about this, she said it was none of her business. She didn't want to persuade the paranoid and sickly male protagonist. Isn't this a mental illness? He should be sent to the hospital.

She hadn't thought of dealing with the male protagonist in advance! After all, it's fun to get together with scumbag men and women and abuse them together!

……

In City B, the public security here is obviously much better than in other cities. After all, it is the capital of the country.

Yunyan and the others finally arrived here. Jiang Yuchuan and the others' temporary base was actually a military base.

It's just that the scope has been expanded, and now it also takes in some homeless civilians and people with special abilities.

This is already a small base, and Yunyan decided to expand it based on this base. The security measures here are not good enough, so she needs to strengthen them.

But what kind of person is the head of this military base? Will he listen to her? Yunyan is not so confident that she is a popular figure and everyone has to listen to her.

Then prove it with strength. There is a ready-made base and she is too lazy to spend time and effort to build one again by herself.

She has always been confident in her abilities.

The two cars slowly drove into the base without attracting much attention. People were busy with their own things. Civilians had to do their own work to earn points and get food. The psychics had their own posts and performed their duties. Everything seemed to be in good order.

So far, Yunyan is quite satisfied.

After entering the base, the leaders who received the news first arranged accommodation for them, and then let them rest and prepare for the meeting the next morning.

It's not that a meeting needs to be held when a new person comes, but because there is a capable newcomer and the leader loves his talent and wants to receive him personally.

Besides, Jiang Yuchuan is the chief's nephew and half his savior, so he should be treated with courtesy.

After Jiang Yuchuan returned to the base, he went to report the mission status to his superiors. He felt very sorry that there were only five people in their team who had returned so far, including him and Chen Jingyang.

Jiang Yuchuan remained silent. They were brothers who had been through life and death together and had a friendship that was worth their lives. No one would feel good about it.

Chief Jiang reached out and gently patted Jiang Yuchuan on the shoulder. "Go back and have a rest! Don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Jiang Yuchuan nodded and left the chief's office.

He remembered Yunyan's words, "The world is full of suffering, so we should look forward and make the future sweeter!"

Yes, he should look forward. The past is dark and cannot be retrieved, but the future is bright and brilliant.

That night, everyone slept particularly soundly. They were no longer like helpless duckweeds floating on the ground, and no longer had to worry about their lives being in danger at any time.

It was a rare good morning, with the sun shining warmly on the earth. It felt so much like the peaceful and tranquil days of the past, except that things and people had changed.

Yunyan and others came to the meeting room according to the leader's instructions yesterday.

As soon as I entered the door, I was greeted by the leader's warm smile. His face was full of wrinkles and he looked very amiable.

He stretched out his hand and shook Yunyan's hand, "Comrade Lu, it's really thanks to you for this journey. It's our honor to have a talent like you in the base!"

It was the first time Yunyan heard someone call her Comrade Lu, and it felt quite novel.

Her smile was also very sincere. "You are welcome. When I entered the base, I saw that everything was in order. It can be seen that you have a good management. I am also very happy to contribute to the base and offer my own strength."

This sentence made Chief Jiang feel the ambition of this young man. Jiang Yuchuan also mentioned Yunyan's matter to him. This is a very capable female comrade.

It's a good thing to be ambitious, and he doesn't mind providing young people with a stage to shine.

The Yangtze River has a new generation of young people. If there are more young people like this, perhaps we can soon return to the days of peace and prosperity.

Thinking of this, the smile on Chief Jiang's face became even brighter, and the wrinkles on his face were like a blooming chrysanthemum.

However, he quickly adjusted himself and shook hands with everyone one by one, then he extended his hand to signal everyone to sit down for the meeting.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone please take a seat!"

This meeting was not as serious as everyone imagined. Chief Jiang was amiable and gave people the feeling of a family elder when he spoke.

When he heard that Professor Xu and Professor Su were researching a zombie vaccine, he took it even more seriously. After asking about their progress in detail, Chief Jiang decided to improve and strengthen the laboratory equipment to create the best experimental environment for them.

Not only Professors Xu and Su were excited, but Zhang Qing and Li Yuling were also so excited and happy that their eyes were almost overflowing with joy.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Yunyan felt that the two of them would definitely jump up and give Chief Jiang a big hug.

As for Yunyan, she took the initiative to propose expanding the base, strengthening the base's infrastructure and wanted to be the person in charge.

Although Chief Jiang trusted her abilities, he was also worried that she would take too big a step and run into problems.

"How about this, I can give you the power to expand the base and strengthen it. But don't rush it. You just came to the base and your foundation is not stable yet. It will be difficult to convince others for a while.

During this time, I'll let Yuchuan and Jingyang assist you. Once you figure out the basic situation of the base and get the majority of leaders at all levels to agree, you can implement your plan!"

Yunyan had anticipated this. A well-managed base would never allow newcomers to make drastic changes.

There is a saying that goes, if you take too big a step, you may end up hurting yourself.

Yunyan is not a person who seeks quick success and instant benefits. She also knows that Chief Jiang is supporting her in his own way and winning the support of the people so that she can gain a firm foothold.

She was very grateful to this approachable leader. After all, there are many good horses, but few good horse trainers.

Yunyan felt that she was very lucky to have met such a person, who could save her a lot of time in completing the task.

Although it is not impossible to build a powerful base by herself, it will take up more of her time and energy.

Thinking of this, Yunyan looked earnest, "Okay, Chief, within a month, I will figure out the situation at the base, and I will also make other leaders pay attention to me and accept me."

Chief Jiang was very satisfied with Yunyan's attitude and said several good words to her.

“Where there is a will, there is a way. I hope you will live up to your mission!”

"Okay, everyone go back and settle down! Someone will be assigned to hand over your work at the base."

Mission, Yunyan heard this word again. She had heard it from Jiang Yuchuan before. She found it incomprehensible and thought Jiang Yuchuan was stubborn.

Why do I feel honored when it’s my turn?

However, she still couldn't understand Jiang Yuchuan's behavior of saving everyone.

She really wanted to ask Chief Jiang what he thought, but when the words came to her lips, she couldn't open her mouth.

Commander Jiang's back was gradually moving away. Looking at the white hair on his temples, Yunyan fell into deep thought.
