Screams echoed.
Looking at the survivors who were as panicked as savages, Lin An instantly realized that these people must have never seen the Awakened.
In the eyes of these people, the methods used by myself and Xiong Hanzi to break down the door were probably no different from monsters. It was really too exciting.
After frowning slightly, he simply released his breath. In an instant, like the crushing force of a superior, the instant coercion from the third level of life strength spread out, directly suppressing the screaming people and paralyzing them to the ground.
Too lazy to talk nonsense.
In front of the frozen crowd, Lin An walked directly towards the middle-aged man standing at the front with a gun in his hand.
He looked up and down, leaned forward slightly, and spoke calmly after a second:
"I'll ask you an answer."
The tone left no room for doubt.
The 33 survivors in front of me were all disheveled.
At a glance, eaten cans and garbage bags were piled in a corner not far away. Everyone's face was yellow, their lips were chapped, and the air was filled with a strong smell of urine and feces.
All these circumstances indicate that life for this group of survivors does not look good.
Listening to Lin An's emotionless questioning voice, the director who had just come to his senses and had a lot of questions to ask suddenly felt like an old duck being grabbed by the neck and swallowed the words on his lips.
He could only nodded stiffly.
He was crying sadly, the sudden appearance of Lin An and the two people really frightened them too much.
"How many people are there in the institute? Who are they? Are you their leader?"
After asking three questions in a row, under the pressure of the breath, the director felt like a mouse facing the overlord at the top of the food chain.
Is this the legendary Awakened One? No, what I saw in the news is not that terrifying.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, he stuttered back:
"34 people"
"Except for Wang Peng who broke his leg in the back, here are all of us."
"My name is Zeng Hongtian. I'm the director of the Aerospace Institute here. But I'm not the one doing research, I'm the one doing launches."
"The remaining people include those from the Communications Department, engineers, security departments and warehouses."
While speaking, Zeng Hongtian pointed at the silent crowd behind him and explained to Lin An.
When he came into close contact with Lin An, the pressure on him almost made his legs weak.
Every cell in his body was screaming for him to run.
If it weren't for being a member of the secret department and having military training on weekdays, he would really be unable to bear it.
He swallowed, and like Lin An, who was sizing him up, he was also carefully observing the two mysterious people.
In his eyes, Lin An, under the disguise of a scalpel, was like a slightly heroic young man, carrying a long sword and wearing clean combat uniforms.
It doesn't look like a monster.
Under the "unremarkable" appearance, it is difficult for people to connect the terrifying scene just now with this young man.
After listening to Zeng Hongtian's introduction, Lin An glanced back and forth at everyone.
The staff was very mixed and few useful people survived.
A touch of disappointment passed away in a flash.
On the other side, while everyone was speculating and anxiously waiting for Lin An's next move, Zhang Tie looked at the group of savages with the same curiosity. As if he saw that everyone was afraid, he chuckled:
"You're afraid, we're here to save you."
"Be honest and obedient, and be popular and drink spicy food!"
"Diu!"
As he spoke, Xiong Hanzi kicked the empty can under his feet, and like a magic trick, he took out the roast chicken he got from nowhere.
The burnt aroma overflowed, and in an instant, the smell of freshly roasted chicken penetrated everyone's noses like a mandala.
But they ate and drank too little. How could these survivors resist such temptation? There was a sudden slurp of saliva and swallowing sounds.
However, behind the desire, there is a hint of vigilance.
Without thinking about anything else, after a while, Lin An looked at the person who was still secretly sizing up his strengths and spoke directly:
"Do you know where the military district next to you is? Also, no one has come to rescue you for such a long time?"
Lin An did have a lot of doubts about the survivors here.
The shortage of food is understandable. After all, with the strength of this group of survivors, who have been in scientific research positions all year round, it is normal for them not to dare to fight zombies.
The underground ventilation ducts are obviously broken, and there should be problems with the water supply equipment due to the power shortage.
If I had arrived later, I'm afraid these people would have all been blamed here.
Food shortage, lack of physical strength, and fear of going out. In a vicious cycle, the shelter often turns into a coffin. He had heard of this situation too many times in his previous life.
Although sending messages requires physical strength, Lin An did not believe that these people would not send a rescue message even once.
After listening to Lin An's question, Zeng Hongtian hesitated for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on his face:
“Next to the military zone”
"We don't know. We only know that the military sent people to inquire about the meteorite fragments before the apocalypse broke out."
"They left later. We also contacted them after the end, but there was no reply."
“As for asking others for help”
Before Zeng Hongtian could finish speaking, a female researcher with glasses and disheveled hair showed a trace of sadness and anger on her face and spoke directly:
"We looked for it! But we could only contact the original local government."
"At first, it was the mayor. The mayor was okay and said he would rescue as soon as possible. Later, when the mayor died, it became the responsibility of the Department of Security. The rescue was delayed again and again, and then it became civil forces taking over!
"
"When they heard that we were from the satellite base, they immediately said that we were useless! They didn't care about us anymore! They also said that if there are girls who are beautiful, they can come out on their own and maybe join them!"
His chest rose and fell rapidly. Although he didn't say much in just a few words, with Lin An's familiarity with the doomsday, he could naturally imagine the situation these survivors encountered when they asked for help.
Indeed, the space base was the apple of a country's eye before the end of the world, and every staff member was a treasure.
But in the post-apocalyptic world, in the eyes of ordinary people, this place is no different from a garbage dump.
The car can barely move, so why do we need rockets? Let’s set off firecrackers?
In grief and anger, the director who had been bitten looked at Lin An's side face, his eyes were half testing and half entangled and he spoke again:
"This friend doesn't know what you mean by coming here?"
Thinking of what the strong man next to the young man had just said, he looked at the roast chicken and at Lin An, struggling with desire.
Lin An turned his head when he heard the sound and said calmly:
"The purpose of coming here is very simple."
"From now on, you belong to me and work with me."
"Those who agree follow my instructions, those who disagree will go out and fend for themselves."
No nonsense, there are not many useful people for this group of survivors, but in this case, every one who can be used is one.
Although the chief engineer who is best left alive in the imagination has turned into a zombie, these people are at least familiar with aerospace, right?
As soon as he finished speaking, just as Zhang Tie was about to take out some more food and distribute it to his future teammates, the entire group of survivors seemed to fall into silence, just looking at each other.
Um?
After a moment, a courageous rejection sounded:
"this friend"
"Although we are very grateful to you for coming to save us, we will not join you!"
"We are members of Dongshan Satellite Base, and we will only serve China!"
"The secrets here are too important!"
To be continued...
