Apocalyptic Farmer

The WZ-20 helicopter landed at the Armed Police base, and Liu Hao led four women into Lin Chen's office for the first time.

The office is very grand, with a tea table and sofa.

"Brother Liu, come and try some pre-rain Longjing tea." Lin Chen pushed the tea to everyone.

If it weren't for the apocalypse, Lin Chen might not be sitting here chatting and laughing.

Liu Hao took the tea. He didn't know much about tea, but he had heard of the name. He took a sip... and it was a little bitter.

"I'm here today to cooperate with you. I've discovered the location of the second-tier zombie," Liu Hao said.

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then asked, "So fast?"

He suddenly had some doubts. Could it be that Liu Hao really knew the exact location of the second-tier zombie during the previous treacherous banquet?

It's important to know that Nanjiang City isn't very big, but it's not small either.

Even before the apocalypse, it would take five hours to drive around the ring road in a third-tier city.

How could you possibly find a Tier 2 zombie so easily?

Liu Hao didn't explain much, "Two second-tier crystal cores, I'll give you three and you can have one."

Lin Chen immediately stood up, his eyes wide, and asked, "Wait, brother, we've never even encountered a second-tier zombie, and you're already fighting one?"

Liu Hao waved his hand, telling Lin Chen not to get too excited.

"I know many places with Tier 2 zombies. The zombies are slowly getting stronger. Tier 2 zombies will definitely be worthless in the future, but right now they are more valuable than gold."

Lin Chen slowly sat down. Yes, it's like a Tier 1 zombie. There weren't any at the beginning of the apocalypse, but now there's almost one in every twenty Tier 1 zombies.

If things continue at this pace, it probably won't be long before one out of every fifty zombies becomes a Tier 2 zombie.

If we don't reach the level of a second-tier superhuman early on and let the zombies surpass humans first, then not only will the Happiness Base be threatened, but the zombies themselves will also be difficult to deal with.

"Brother, can you give me some inside information? Are Tier 2 zombies afraid of bullets?" Lin Chen asked the question that was on his mind.

If second-tier zombies are immune to bullets, then second-tier superhumans must also be immune to bullets.

Then the advantage of the armed police base will soon disappear.

Liu Hao smiled slightly. "I'm not afraid of bullets, but I'm afraid of missiles."

"Doesn't your military have missiles and nuclear weapons? Just bomb anyone who disobeys."

Lin Chen smiled awkwardly, "Our armed police force does have some missiles, but some of them are still used to shoot our own people..."

Without clear instructions from his superiors, Lin Chen wouldn't dare use such weapons against the Chinese, let alone now that instructions had been given.

That morning, he had already received orders from Hangzhou to fully cooperate with the command of Comrade Li Yanan, the director of the Provincial Research Office, and to reinforce two second-tier ability users.

Comrade Li Yanan is on her way to Nanjiang City.

"You're so kind. If they had captured me, I would have just blasted them with missiles," Liu Hao said, pursing his lips.

He's not some benevolent person with a heart for the world; anyone who crosses his bottom line will be punished, no matter how far away they are.

Just like Wang Shen, no matter who orders the shooting at him, he will retaliate fiercely.

Lin Chen's lips twitched. "We can take down zombies. Although our missile unit hasn't been training for very long, we can still hit targets not far away."

"How about we cooperate?"

Liu Hao nodded and took out a map of Nanjiang City. "When we were at the farm, I saw that you had a missile unit. I hope to bring them along, as well as offensive and defensive ability users, to fight together."

"Brother Liu, I've categorized superhumans into four main types: assault, sniping, support, and control," Lin Chen continued.

Liu Hao nodded. "Then let's have assault and sniper teams, plus missile units and armored vehicle units, that's about it."

Lin Chen's smile froze slightly; it was more like a full-scale attack.

However, to be on the safe side when attacking the second-tier zombies, it is indeed advisable to bring some troops.

"Get ready, let's go," Liu Hao said calmly.

Lin Chen was taken aback. "Now?"

"Otherwise what?"

Lin Chen hesitated slightly, after all, he originally wanted to stabilize the base first and then wait for Comrade Li Yanan to take command.

However... given my current rank, I'll definitely have less and less say in the future, and eventually I'll end up back in the armory cleaning my guns.

Liu Hao frowned; he felt that Lin Chen was acting a bit strange today.

Could something have happened? Liu Hao turned to look at Su Yu and the others. They also felt that Lin Chen was acting timidly today, unlike his previous demeanor at the farm when he said, "You'll bear the consequences."

Suddenly, Su Yu smiled. She had guessed something and asked, "Captain Lin, is there some news from above?"

Lin Chen immediately snapped out of his daze. He frowned, feeling like he'd been seen through. However, Liu Hao and the others weren't outsiders, so he answered seriously:

"Uh...yes."

Liu Hao immediately became interested. This was the first time he had heard news from the outside world since the internet was cut off, and he excitedly asked, "How are things going in the other places?"

Lin Chen sighed and shook his head.

"The situation is not optimistic. We contacted Hangzhou, and not only is the zombie outbreak in Hangzhou exaggerated, but there is also the rise of local forces. But thinking about it, it makes sense. It is the provincial capital, with a dense population, so the number of zombies is naturally large."

"However, the provincial capital still sent down a leader and two second-tier ability users."

Liu Hao remained silent. So it was true? The army's speed was indeed different; they already had second-tier ability users.

He only had the confidence to go toe-to-toe with a second-tier zombie because of Su Miaomiao.

Su Yu's lips curled slightly upward. As a social elite before the apocalypse, she understood human nature all too well. She lowered her voice slightly and said:

"Captain Lin, your military rank... I'm afraid that in the future..."

"Why not take advantage of the fact that the leaders haven't arrived yet and hurry up and become stronger? That way, even if we're acting on behalf of the people, we'll have the confidence to do so."

Liu Hao and Su Yu had similar thoughts. The new leader had never dealt with them before. What if he stopped refueling the helicopters in the future?

What if we have to purge all individual factions?

It would be better if Lin Chen took power. Not only could he protect himself, but he could also ignore the farm and even utilize the power of the armed police base.

"Yes, in the apocalypse, you have to become stronger," Liu Hao quickly added. "We're not here to steal anything, but to protect ourselves."

Lin Chen laughed. He understood what Liu Hao meant, but no matter the reason, becoming stronger was never a bad thing.

Moreover, there's nothing wrong with killing zombies.

Moreover, Liu Hao, who saved his life, would never harm him.

"Alright, I'll lead the team and help you fight a great battle."

After saying that, he immediately stood up and went downstairs.

Wang Xiaofeng, who came from outside the base, saw Lin Chen gathering superhumans and combat troops. She asked her comrades nearby, who said that Liu Hao had arrived. She immediately felt that something was wrong.

What's that farmer doing here? He's only here for profit.

She jogged to Lin Chen's office, where Liu Hao chuckled and said, "With the help of the Armed Police Base, we're pretty confident we can hunt down second-tier zombies."

Wang Xiaofeng's eyes widened immediately. Hunting a second-tier zombie?

She knew that leaders were coming down from above, and if too many people were sacrificed while hunting second-tier zombies at this critical juncture, how could she explain it?

Wang Xiaofeng immediately flung open the office door. "You, Liu Hao, you actually plotted against our armed police base!"

When Liu Hao saw that the person who came was Wang Xiaofeng, he immediately sensed something was wrong. This honest fool had arrived.

"Hmm, what's wrong?" Tian Tian had been displeased with Wang Xiaofeng for a long time. As the youngest girl, she couldn't help but stand up to defend Liu Hao. "Why are you meddling so much in what's going on between my master and your Captain Lin?"

"You... Hmph," Wang Xiaofeng sneered, "I'm telling you, you're harming Team Leader Lin."

"If we hunt down Tier 2 zombies and suffer heavy casualties, how are you going to explain that to the higher-ups, Captain Lin?"

Liu Hao pursed his lips. He really couldn't be bothered to talk to Wang Xiaofeng. "Let's go. They should have regrouped by now. Our first stop will be that second-tier zombie in the mold factory in the industrial zone."

After saying that, Liu Hao led the way out of the office, then turned to Wang Xiaofeng as if remembering something: "Oh right, when your Captain Lin comes back, he'll probably be a second-tier ability user, while you're still at the eighth level of the first tier... Keep up the good work, Xiaofeng~"
