Chapter 1 Qian Yuan Lake Resort

Qian Yuan Lake Resort was located on the banks of Qian Yuan Lake. Qian Yuan Lake was situated on a plain, surrounded by grasslands. Several years ago, when Qian Yuan Lake was slated for development, orchards and farmland were added to the area. Eventually, it was said that the government invested in the construction of this massive resort, with the aim of boosting tourism.

Qian Yuan Lake Resort emphasized natural features. Here, activities such as fishing, fruit picking, horseback riding, and picnics were available. However, because it was never fully completed, it was never opened to the public.

Many hotel-style villas were built in the resort for rent, as well as two hotels over thirty stories high. The original idea was that once completed, it would attract a large number of tourists from surrounding cities, but unexpectedly, it had become a human survival base before it even opened.

Fortunately, the resort provided Qi City with such a large survival base, especially since it was a base with farmland, a lake, and orchards, making it quite suitable for human survival.

However, not wanting to block the surrounding scenery, the resort's walls were not high, and they were made of underground reinforced concrete with iron railings on top.

Although these railings were more than two meters high, they were not very effective at stopping zombies. Therefore, the survivors inside reinforced the walls with wire and steel bars, making the original railings look like hedgehogs.

Seeing the railings, Li Chenzhou shook his head inwardly. This thing might be useful against a small number of zombies, but in the event of a zombie horde, the railings would be of little use.

The resort gate was not far from the road that Li Chenzhou and the others were traveling on. A side road led directly to it, and Li Chenzhou and the others naturally took this road to the resort, parking their car at the resort entrance.

"Who are you?"

On the walls on both sides of the gate, there was a watchtower welded from angle iron. A person with a rifle looked at them warily and shouted.

"Survivors! We came from Qing City!"

Grey Bear got out of the car and looked up at the man and asked. He noticed that the man was wearing a security guard uniform.

"Qing City?"

The man nodded. He had seen this car on the road earlier and it was definitely not coming from the direction of Qi City:

"How did you get here from Qing City? Aren't you afraid of encountering mutated beasts on the road?"

"I'm from Qi City, and I'm back to find my family!"

Grey Bear replied, while thinking to himself:

"Are there many mutated beasts here?"

Before, in Qing City, perhaps because Zhang Hu had taken in so many mutated cats, they hadn't encountered many mutated beasts. Maybe they had all been eaten by the mutated cats.

Therefore, in Qing City, survivors rarely mentioned mutated beasts.

"Yes!"

The man nodded and said with a sigh:

"Damn it, it's all because of those bastards who built the resort. They brought in so many animals, and a lot of them mutated. It was a terrible loss of life to clean up those mutated beasts!"

"Clean up mutated beasts? Are you talking about the 315 Garrison?"

Grey Bear's eyes lit up and he asked immediately.

The garrison was actually the stationed troops, but here the unit was called the 315 Garrison. However, their base was not here.

But according to Grey Bear's understanding of mutated beasts, the only ones who could clean up the mutated beasts in this resort were probably the garrison.

"Huh? You even know the garrison's number?"

The security guard asked in surprise.

"Is Regiment Commander Liu here?"

Hearing the security guard's response, Grey Bear immediately knew that he had guessed correctly, so he asked immediately.

"Regiment Commander Liu is here... Do... do you know him?"

Hearing this name, the security guard was even more surprised and asked quickly.

"Yes! I'm from the Qi City Special Operations Brigade. I know Regiment Commander Liu. Could you please let him know?"

"Special Operations Brigade?"

Just then, a person standing guard on the wall next to them, who was closer and could hear their conversation, suddenly had his eyes light up. He immediately jumped off the wall, rushed to Grey Bear, and stared at him excitedly and asked;

"Are you familiar with Regiment Commander Liu?"

"Of course, we're brothers!!!"

Grey Bear nodded without hesitation.

In fact, his relationship with Regiment Commander Liu was only so-so. They had met and had drinks together, but they weren't that close, after all, the difference in rank was there.

But Grey Bear knew that his Captain Li Yunshan and the garrison's Regiment Commander Liu were comrades-in-arms, and their relationship was very strong. It was definitely right to call them brothers.

However, it was inconvenient for Li Yunshan to show his face right now, otherwise, these guys would probably shoot him directly when they saw him! So Grey Bear simply pretended to be him, and he could explain to Regiment Commander Liu when he saw him later!

Moreover, since Regiment Commander Liu was here, then Li Yunshan's family should be fine. It was obvious that Regiment Commander Liu had built this base, and with his relationship with Li Yunshan, he couldn't possibly ignore his family!

"Then save Regiment Commander Liu!"

Hearing Grey Bear's words, the man's eyes turned red, and he grabbed Grey Bear and said.

"Save?"

Grey Bear was immediately stunned:

"What happened to Regiment Commander Liu?"

"When the apocalypse came, Regiment Commander Liu immediately sent troops to rescue people in the city after clearing out the soldiers who had turned into zombies in the garrison. They risked their lives and saved countless people."

The man quickly cried:

"Later, feeling that the garrison wasn't big enough, he specifically led his troops to clear out Qian Yuan Lake Resort, because Regiment Commander Liu said that this was the most suitable place to be a survivor base!

There were not only many zombies here, but also many mutated beasts, horses, rabbits, cattle, sheep, pigs, and dogs. Those guys became so powerful. Regiment Commander Liu and his men risked their lives and sacrificed hundreds of soldiers to finally clean this place up!

Moreover, he also rescued the Director of the Municipal Office and some senior municipal officials who were trapped inside because they had come to experience the services here before it was completed, but they encountered the apocalypse.

If it weren't for Regiment Commander Liu, they would have definitely died inside. But when they were rescued, they heard that Regiment Commander Liu wanted to use this place as a survivor base, and they immediately objected and wanted to strip Regiment Commander Liu of his military power.

Regiment Commander Liu argued with them. Although they were municipal directors and higher in rank than Regiment Commander Liu, they couldn't control Regiment Commander Liu!

But unexpectedly, those fat-headed guys, seeing that Regiment Commander Liu didn't agree to stay here to protect them and insisted on going to the city to save survivors, actually thought of another way.

They said that Regiment Commander Liu should leave a deputy to build here and protect them at the same time. Regiment Commander Liu agreed, but who knew that while Regiment Commander Liu went into the city to rescue people and collect supplies, they actually won over Regiment Commander Liu's deputy. After they came back, they took advantage of the dark to control Regiment Commander Liu and lock him up!

The soldiers under Regiment Commander Liu wanted to cause trouble and rescue their commander, but they were threatened, saying that if they didn't disarm, they would kill Regiment Commander Liu. In addition, that deputy instigated them, and in the end... Regiment Commander Liu's soldiers were disarmed, and then they were all locked up. We never saw them again!"
