"What's going on here!"

Wang Tao quickly took out his Telescope.

Looking at the large patch of hideous figures, his scalp tingled.

At a glance, there were at least tens of thousands of Zombies!

With so many Zombies, anyone who came would die!

He even felt a moment of panic in his heart, but he quickly forced himself to calm down. Because panicking now was useless, he could only adapt to the situation.

Wang Tao immediately went downstairs, packed his things, and if he was really besieged by so many Zombies, he could only choose to drive away.

Although driving at night was almost like courting death, it was better than being torn to pieces by Zombies here.

Of course, this was the worst-case scenario.

He still had a Stealth Potion in his hand that could fool Zombies. He had originally wanted to save this Stealth Potion for his return. But if there was really no other way, he would have to use it first.

After preparing everything, Wang Tao came to the window upstairs again. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he temporarily breathed a sigh of relief.

"They're not coming for the Water Plant, that's good! But—"

These Zombies didn't seem to be organized, they just seemed to be wandering around the street. They walked from the east side of the road, and then left from the west side.

"But there are so many Zombies entering the Water Plant!"

Looking at the Zombies in the Water Plant, Wang Tao had a headache.

He felt that he should have locked the gate of the Water Plant—no, even if he locked it, the group of Survivors would definitely pry it open...

Anyway, no matter what, a lot of Zombies had entered now, but it hadn't reached the point where he felt he had to risk his life to run away... He could only wait and see.

Wang Tao put down the curtains, then went to the top floor, ready to take a nap.

The top floor was farther away from the Zombies downstairs, and the "human scent" on him would definitely be much weaker, so naturally it would be much safer.

When it was almost dawn.

Wang Tao, who was sleeping, suddenly heard a scream in the distance.

He reflexively got up and grabbed his weapon, then went to the window and peeked through the curtains.

"It's the direction of the Water Plant building... those Survivors are in trouble!"

The moonlight was very good tonight. Wang Tao saw the glass door under the building in the distance shattered, and many Zombies were frantically squeezing inside.

Wang Tao couldn't see the situation inside, but if these Survivors were smart, they still had a chance to survive. After all, the rooms inside the building weren't without doors. Or they could block some things in the stairwell to prevent the Zombies from coming up.

"It depends on whether they're smart or not..."

Wang Tao shook his head.

It was morning now, and he was no longer sleepy, so he habitually fiddled with the Radio and Walkie-talkie.

Then he suddenly heard a voice from the Walkie-talkie! "Crackling... This is the Shui Ze University Survivor Base, please respond if you receive, please respond if you receive... crackle..."

After listening to this tired female voice repeat a few times, Wang Tao pressed the PTT button on the Walkie-talkie.

"Received, this is the Water Plant, this is the Water Plant..."

Wang Tao also repeated it several times.

When the PTT button on the Walkie-talkie was pressed, it could only send its own voice out, but could not receive the other party's voice. So it needed to be repeated several times to avoid missing the conversation.

After a moment.

"Hello, Survivor! Please repeat your location, I didn't hear you clearly! Please repeat... crackle... Great, we've made contact..."

Wang Tao repeated: "I'm at the Water Plant, I'm at the Water Plant..."

"I heard you, I heard you! How is your Water Plant, is it safe?"

Wang Tao looked at the Zombies downstairs.

"It's temporarily safe, but there are Zombies downstairs."

The other party paused for a moment, and then said:

"I'm sorry, we can't help you for the time being, but we have established a Survivor Base at Shui Ze University. If you can safely leave the Water Plant, you can come to the Shui Ze University Base. We will provide you with safety and food, and you only need to do some work to build the base..."

Sounds pretty good.

"By the way, how many survivors are there in your Water Plant? How long will your food last?"

Wang Tao thought for a moment and said:

"We have a total of six people, including a female police officer."

"A female police officer... oh, I see. Are you the people rescued by Officer Han Rui?"

Han Rui? Wang Tao affirmed, "Yes, it is Officer Han." But they are all asleep and haven't woken up yet."

To prevent the other party from directly asking about Officer Han Rui, Wang Tao directly blocked the conversation.

"..."

The other side did want to ask if Han Rui was there. After all, she is a professional police officer, and her ability to express herself in some matters must be stronger than ordinary people.

But since she is asleep, it is naturally not good to wake her up. At this time, maintaining one's condition is very important.

"Can I ask what the situation is at your Shui Ze University Base?"

Wang Tao asked again.

"Of course, our Shui Ze Base now has more than three hundred survivors..."

Hearing this number, Wang Tao was immediately surprised.

To have more than three hundred survivors is quite a lot! After listening for a while, Wang Tao also roughly understood the situation of the Shui Ze University Base.

Before the apocalypse, Shui Ze University was undergoing renovations. Because the smell of paint was too strong, they took two days off. After the apocalypse, the university was very empty. Apart from some people on duty, there were not many zombies.

Next to the university was a Garrison squadron. A large-scale infection occurred inside their barracks, and the surviving Garrison soldiers ran out with weapons and ammunition. They rescued civilians while fleeing, and then took a fancy to Shui Ze University and established a Survivor Base here.

The Garrison had hot weapons and were physically fit. Some police officers joined in the middle, so they rescued many people.

Even Yellow Wind Film City, which is a bit far from Shui Ze University, had many celebrity actors rescued.

The current Shui Ze University Base is not necessarily strong, but it has stabilized. Every survivor in the base can find something to do, there is food, there is safety... This is the best Survivor Base in Water Marsh County.

Many people nearby want to go there, but even a few kilometers of road requires risking their lives.

Officer Han Rui and the others heard about the Shui Ze University Base from other places, and then tried to contact the Shui Ze Base. After some understanding, they decided to risk going there...

After understanding everything that needed to be understood, Wang Tao said, "Thank you very much for your explanation! I won't say more, the Walkie-talkie is about to run out of power. I hope we can meet in the future."

"Yes, yes, I wish you good luck! Our radio channel has... We will turn it on regularly every day..."

After the other party said some more information, the call ended.

Wang Tao stroked the stubble on his chin and muttered:

"This Shui Ze University Base may be a good place to go. But these are just the other party's words. Before seeing it with my own eyes, I can't believe everything..."
