"It can't be said to be certain death. After all, this is the apocalypse, and anything can happen. No matter what, we have a glimmer of hope, don't we?"

Zhu Hai Tao smiled as he answered.

"Yes! That's right, as long as there is hope in our hearts, we will have motivation!"

Li Chen Zhou nodded, then said:

"I can take some people away. Do you mind if I take a look at your base?"

"No problem!"

Zhu Hai Tao nodded immediately, then picked up the beer in his hand, raised it towards Li Chen Zhou, who responded in kind. The two of them finished all the beer in their cans, then got up together.

"You should drive your car in. We don't know how far those guys' base is from us, and they might come today. We should be careful!"

After getting up, Zhu Hai Tao looked at Li Chen Zhou's war chariot and said.

"Alright!"

Li Chen Zhou nodded, and at the same time waved to Zhu Hai Tao:

"You get in too! Together!"

Zhu Hai Tao didn't refuse, walked to the passenger side, opened the car door and got in.

At this time, the interior of the war chariot had been disguised as a normal SUV, and the interior was exactly the same, so there was no problem at all.

After getting into the car, Zhu Hai Tao looked back at the car, and didn't find anyone, so he looked forward again, poked his head out and waved to his subordinates, shouting:

"Open the gate!!!"

"Your base is indeed well-constructed!"

After driving into the base, Zhu Hai Tao didn't ask Li Chen Zhou to get out of the car, so Li Chen Zhou drove around the base.

In fact, even if Zhu Hai Tao had asked Li Chen Zhou to stop the car and then tour his base on foot, Li Chen Zhou would definitely not have agreed.

Now that he had entered the other party's base, although Li Chen Zhou felt that what Zhu Hai Tao had said before was true, he, being always cautious, would definitely not enter the other party's base without the protection of the war chariot.

Zhu Hai Tao's base was quite large, with about 100,000 survivors, which surprised Li Chen Zhou.

This scale of base would have been considered a super-large base in his previous life, but now, it was actually built by Zhu Hai Tao, who was only at level two and was still an ordinary person when he built the base.

Moreover, the interior of the base was very beautiful and clean, unlike other bases, which were messy, full of garbage, and overflowing with feces and urine.

The reason why such a base could be built was that Jin City originally had a lot of resources. Moreover, after Zhu Hai Tao discovered that the zombie hordes would not run around, he immediately gathered all the people who could move and entered Jin City to scavenge, collecting countless resources and also calling out all the survivors who were still hiding at home because they didn't know the situation!

Therefore, in the early days of the apocalypse, Zhu Hai Tao's base not only had a wealth of resources, but also had far more survivors than other bases!

With people and resources, plus Zhu Hai Tao didn't know about the existence of ability users at that time, he was full of confidence, after all, tens of thousands of people were under his leadership.

How could this be possible before the apocalypse?

Therefore, Zhu Hai Tao, feeling that the future was full of hope, immediately found the survivors in the construction industry in the base, asked them to design the base blueprints, and then began construction.

It has to be said that the environment changes people. In other cities, because there were zombies everywhere, the people who had been scared out of their wits and survived didn't dare to rashly enter buildings to find food and water, fearing that they would encounter zombies.

Therefore, some shops where it was obvious that there were no zombies inside were quickly emptied. Those who were quick were able to get a lot of supplies, while those who came late could only grab them from other humans because they didn't dare to enter shops with zombies!

Therefore, in other cities, humans were wary of each other. Only in Qing City, where Li Chen Zhou was, because they formed a convoy to rescue people, and with the suppression of Duan Lei, there were no major conflicts between humans!

But Jin City was different. Because there was no need to worry about zombies, there were resources everywhere. In this case, of course, no one would compete for them. In addition, with the organization of Zhu Hai Tao, who was very well-known in Jin City, the survivors in Jin City were quite harmonious!

It was precisely because of this that Zhu Hai Tao was able to lead them to build such a quite good base. The only flaw was that there were no real powerhouses among them!

When he was wandering around the base just now, Li Chen Zhou also noticed that many of the survivors in this base were busy doing various infrastructure works.

And the atmosphere between them was also very good. They would greet each other when they met, and the smiles on their faces were very sincere. Moreover, there was no despair or sadness on the faces of these survivors.

Li Chen Zhou still liked such a base, although such bases generally don't survive for long, after all, this is the apocalypse!

However, Li Chen Zhou, who had the war fortress, didn't need to worry about this. Anyway, there was a small world. Zhu Hai Tao was definitely not good at fighting, but using him to manage the people in the small world might be a good choice.

At least, he was now able to make these hundreds of thousands of people obey his orders, which was enough. What's more, Zhu Hai Tao also said that there were many talents in their base!

"Hehe! This is my job!"

Hearing Li Chen Zhou's praise, Zhu Hai Tao smiled and said:

"I can only do this. If no one can threaten us, I can build this base even better, and even continue it forever, but unfortunately..."

Speaking of the end, Zhu Hai Tao's expression was a little gloomy.

"Your job? What do you do?"

Li Chen Zhou asked curiously.

"Before the apocalypse, I was the mayor of Jin City!"

Zhu Hai Tao replied.

"..."

Li Chen Zhou was speechless for a while. The mayor, that was the controller of a city, and it was actually this guy?

Generally, the officials of this level seen on TV seem to be well-dressed and gentle, but Zhu Hai Tao's current image is simply a rough, strong man who doesn't care about his appearance, the kind who could go and slaughter pigs if you gave him a knife.

"Mayor Zhu! My respects! So, the reason why you insist on staying here is also because of your 'job'?"

Li Chen Zhou looked at Zhu Hai Tao, who had a calm expression, and asked.

"That's right, I am an official of this city, so I have a responsibility to protect my citizens!"

Zhu Hai Tao replied with a serious face.

"But... now is the apocalypse, maybe even the country is gone. You actually don't have to care about other people!"

Li Chen Zhou said again.

"I can't ignore them, it's my duty!"

Zhu Hai Tao smiled:

"No matter what, as long as I haven't received a notice of removal, then I am still the mayor of Jin City, my city is right there, and these... are the people I must be responsible for!"
