Chapter 7: The Problem

[4:10 pm]

{BASE NO.0302}

Zhuan, Wong, Yue, Sergei, Rene, and Fei are walking towards the complex holding pistols and rifles.

Arriving at the large gate that stood proud as it was military green ten seconds later, the gate opened revealing its thickness rivaling that of a bomb shelter making Zhuan question inwardly if his explosive vibranium spears could pierce it.

"Zhuan what should we do if we lose or aren't able to recover our weapons"

Fei asked on guard.

Zhuan thought about it and then secretly created a hypercharged C-4 and gave it to Fei, who had the most experience using explosives due to being a trainee demolition expert.

Zhuan looked at everyone and they nodded as the gate opened enough for three jeeps to drive out in v formation the man in the front jeep was so thick he looked like a real-life Hulk but with less upper body muscle.

"Damn...

Rena said in shock at how thick this man was his biceps alone were the size of her head and that was when he wasn't flexing. 

The three jeeps stopped in front of the group and the huge man got out of the jeep and walked up to Zhuan who had the only fully automatic machine gun.

"I am Sergent Hunson and this is Pelco Military Base, all survivors must hand over their weapons and go through decontamination is that clear"

The huge man said with a voice that demanded authority.

Mind level 1: 77/100

Zhuan secretly smirked as he only had to worry about his physical defense and it looked like he was the tanker.

Zhuan gave his automatic Rifle to the guard in a combat uniform which prompted the others to also give their guns.

"This base has four tiers tier one is for useless civilians who can only farm and mine with no combat experience, tier two is for those with combat experience and hunting experience, tier three is for those who have medical skills and know information about the mutated, and tier four is for enhanced humans"

Sergent Hunson said crushing a rock till it turned into powder.

"Are you an ability user?

Wong asked.

"No, what are ability users?

Sergent asked curiously.

"On our way here we encountered a group and one of them had some toxic ability they told us about seven levels of zombies, Level one- Athlete to Street Level, Level Two- Wall to building level, Level Three- Large building to City Block level, Level four- Multi CityBlock to Town level, Level five- Large Town to Small City level, Level six- City to Large City Level, Level seven - Mountain to Island Level"

Zhuan said.

"Hmm...interesting I will relay this to my boss"

Sergent Hunson thought before turning back and getting back in his jeep.

...

(Quan Dao Military Base)

({(12th Floor)}) [Area 4]

[Room: 8]

Zhuan, Wong, and Sergei are in half of the concrete room secretly conversing while there are 2 teens and one man on the other side playing cards.

"You three just came in right I might as well tell you this, people here work with a nickel currency"

The man playing cards said without taking his eyes off the cards.

"Thanks, we'll find a way to earn it"

Zhuan said with a fake thankful expression.

Zhuan already knew the currency used and gave each member 500 nickels and told them how to use and hide it to avoid suspicion.

"Wong you are the shortest, so I want you to sneak into the air vents"

"Sergei I want you to secretly place these mini camo thermo bombs around the base key infrastructure while also finding out ways to escape from trouble if any of us causes trouble"

Zhuan said secretly and quietly.

Fei<Zhuan we are alone, if you not don't reply>

Zhuan looked over the group playing cards then at Sergei and Wong.

Sergei went over to the group while Zhuan sneakily appeared behind the man and knocked him out and before the two teens could notice they were knocked out and placed into their bunk beds.

Zhuan<Zhuan here Roger, there were some troubles so we put them to sleep anyway the plan is make you bank account of our group, Rene will be in charge infiltrating ranks along with Yue and Me>

Fei<Um...Okay >

Zhuan<Rest 32 up we have Dinner in minutes>

Fei<Copy That>

"Wake them up in 30 minutes"

Zhuan said to Sergei and made 10 reactive vibranium nanobots to infiltrate the database and security system of the base.

[Great Event: The 7 Continents shall merge to make the Ultimate Super-Continent Once more.

Time Left: 7 Months]

"Am I the only one to receive this message"

[The top 3 only]

Zhuan<In 7 months a great opportunity and misfortune will happen>

Yue<WHat do you mean?>

Zhuan<I can't disclose any more info>

Zhuan created a pack of cards and began to play with Sergei and Wong.

30 minutes later, Wong woke up the two teens and the man who all taught nothing of it playing it off as dehydration and mild starvation.

Zhuan and the others got up a few minutes later as a guard in a tier 4 protective armor uniform opened the Room door and walked away.

The man and two teens got up and walked out followed by Zhuan and the others and 13 minutes later they reached the massive canteen with metal stairs and 5 floors going up.

Zhuan sat down at an empty metal bench that could seat 6 people and soon came Yue, Rene, and Fei with two trays of food each and gave Zhuan, Wong, and Sergei a tray.

"You can tip the guards 30 nickels to escape problems as the average guard only earns 8 nickels an hour"

Fei said.

"Wong"

Zhuan said looking at Wong who had just finished.

Wong got up and walked away.

"He has 23 minutes left to return"

Rene said looking at the big timer which said 23 minutes and 13 seconds.

...

23 minutes later Wong returned with some noticeable sweat.

"I found an incubator room filled with a couple dozen mutated creatures and the largest one has a little girl in it who had her right leg and half of her face missing"

"..."

"This is a huge problem, and I may need to extend our stay by a few months"

Zhuan said quietly.

"I will inform others outside when we go back to our rooms"

Rene said with visible nervousness and fear.

"We need to find out why.

Zhuan thought.

"This may be of a more sinister cause"

Zhuan thought.
