Respect The Strong (21)

Xiao Cheng frowned and pressed the car door. “What do you mean? Do you want to take away all our supplies? What kind of logic is this?”
The man smiled and said, “You will know when you enter and have a look. The base is under unified management. The cafeteria serves free meals every day, and everyone can receive supplies for free. In this way, everyone will be happy and feel safe…”
Xiao Cheng turned a deaf ear to it and sneered: “This kind of idealism is a deceit, right? It’s the end of the world, and loss is rampant. Are you trying to play family? Who came up with the rules?”
The smile on the man’s face disappeared immediately. “The Boss is our great benefactor. He gathers us together and strives to live. If in the past, he would be called a great philanthropist. Who are you to taunt him so rudely?”

Xiao Jin winked at Xiao Cheng and said, “I’m sorry. My little brother just thinks differently from you, please excuse him. But the things in this car were collected by us at the cost of our lives. I’m afraid we can’t leave it to strangers for safekeeping. This base…we’re not going in, let’s go.”
Chu Xiang got into the car first, and started the ignition without saying a word. The man hurriedly grabbed Xiao Jin and said, “Wait a minute, wait a minute. I’ll go talk to the Boss and see what he has to say. You’ve come all the way, so don’t rush off. We really don’t mean any harm. We just admire your skills and hope you can stay. Wait a little longer, okay? I’ll be right back!”
The man called two people to come and take care of them, and quickly ran into the base. Chu Xiang, Xiao Jin, and Xiao Cheng exchanged glances seemingly unintentionally. Xiao Cheng lit a cigarette and strolled around the open door while smoking. In fact, he was observing the situation inside the base.
Xiao Jin casually leaned against the car, surveying the layout of the base’s outer terrain, and already conjured a few routes of departure in mind.

Chu Xiang determined how many people were patrolling in all corners of the wall, how many guns there were, the dead ends, and places to avoid.
When the Boss came out, they had already assessed everything they could and stood together again. The leader was a strong man in his thirties. He was quite imposing, but his smile was entirely kind. When he saw them, he shook hands with them warmly.
“Hello, my name is Peng Peng. I am the leader of this base.” When he saw Chu Xiang, he was obviously amazed. He then smiled as usual. “I heard about you two days ago. I can’t believe the three of you actually cleared a whole villa area over there. It’s amazing! You have my respect.”
Chu Xiang smiled and said: “Mr. Peng, you flatter us. These two friends said that you’ve invited us to the base to have a look. We came here just in time, but we didn’t expect that we have to hand in our supplies and weapons. I’m afraid this is a bit inappropriate. After all, we are still strangers to each other, and there’s no trust to speak of between us. I think we won’t enter this base.”

Peng Peng was taken aback that Chu Xiang was in charge. He noticed that Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng were standing next to Chu Xiang without any objection. He changed his view of Chu Xiang’s strength and said with a hearty smile, ” Rules are dead, but people are alive. I like to make friends the most, and our base likes to recruit strong people. As for these things, to be honest, we are not trying to rob you, but I have a lot of ordinary people who lack the strength even to bind chickens here. I want to protect their safety, and I can’t let outsiders bring weapons inside as they please.”
He retained his smile. “But I’m sincerely inviting you to visit the base. Why don’t you put this car here after locking it? I promise that my people will not touch it, and you can drive away at any time when you leave. What do you think? Let’s go in and have a look. Who knows, you might like it here so much that you’re willing to stay. In this world, a stable life is more important than anything else, isn’t it?”
This matter originally concerned mutual distrust. It all depended on how individuals choose. Chu Xiang nodded lightly and put her gun and dagger into the car. “I hope Mr. Peng is a man of integrity. It’s my pleasure to visit your base. My name is Chu Xiang.”
“Miss Chu, please.” Peng Peng led her into the base, and everyone looked at them curiously. Xiao Jin and Xiao Cheng put their weapons away and followed behind Chu Xiang, one looking left and the other looking right, mentally observing the base environment without a trace.

The gate slowly closed behind them. There was only one gate, and it was as if it separated the apocalypse and the comfortable home. In the base, there were children chasing each other and running around, old people chatting together amidst bursts of laughter, men repairing things, and women drying clothes.
It was indeed a beautiful scenery, something that someone could easily indulge in. How wonderful was it to have such a comfortable base life in an apocalypse?
However, Chu Xiang and her company who have fought with their lives at risk knew that this was just a beautiful bubble. Once countless zombies gathered round, or a large team attacked, the base would most likely be destroyed or suffer tremendous losses.
Besides, there was always danger in collecting supplies. Who would be willing to risk their lives to find something and come back to support others? Much less execute fair distribution! The nearby supplies would also be consumed sooner or later. Where would they find something to support these people? These were all hidden dangers of the base, but everyone was bewitched by this beautiful dream, and they would only be just cannon fodders.
