Captain Zhao's men carried the supplies back and looked at Captain Zhao, who was standing by the window, peering through a crack at the RV.
Someone approached and asked,
"Captain Zhao, what are they doing?"
Captain Zhao raised his finger to his lips and made a "shush" gesture.
"I've been watching the people in this RV for several days. They've somehow found some researchers and set up a medical tent beside the house."
Another teammate immediately added,
"I saw them bring several Mutated Beasts into the tent yesterday. Who exactly are these people?"
"Under those researchers' white lab coats, they're wearing Garrison uniforms."
Someone shouted loudly.
Everyone looked over at the man who was shouting, standing upright, speaking earnestly,
"I'm not mistaken, I used to be in the Garrison too, before I was discharged."
Captain Zhao frowned, utterly perplexed. It seemed that the people inside this RV had increasingly significant backgrounds.
Their identities might be much more important than they had imagined.
Now, the people in the RV had somehow become associated with the Garrison.
"And from the look of it, the place where their RV is parked seems to be a transmission point."
Captain Zhao pointed at the RV outside through the crack,
"Look at those researchers; they just appeared out of nowhere. If they don't have a transmission ticket, how did they come out from there?"
Captain Zhao stated confidently,
"That's right, the people in this RV know where the transmission points are in the apocalypse."
Aren't there many rumors that there are lots of transmission points in the apocalypse?
It's just that these transmission points need to be discovered one by one by the survivors.
Captain Zhao shook his head with a sigh. If he had known the people in the RV were so influential from the start, he would have treated every one of them with more courtesy. Get full chapters from novelFirｅ.net
Even if he had to go to great lengths, pretending to protect that ugly woman and the two children would have been better than being ostracized by the people inside the RV now.
Captain Zhao sighed with regret.
Meanwhile, after the researchers in the medical tent had dissected the first Mutant Beast, an issue of Garrison Internal Reference that detailed the dissection process of the first Mutant Beast was immediately published.
And they introduced the characteristics of the Mutated Beast in detail.
The Garrison Internal Reference was now a hot commodity, not only highly sought after by the survivors inside Xiang City but also by those outside.
Every time survivors outside of Xiang City got ahold of a Garrison Internal Reference, they would find a way to photocopy the content.
If they didn't have access to a photocopier, they would write it out by hand.
Then they would circulate handwritten copies of the Garrison Internal Reference.
The content of each Garrison Internal Reference was pure gold, with even a small excerpt memorized providing practical use in the apocalypse, and could even save a life.
Soon, Captain Zhao received photos of the new issue of the Internal Reference from the survivors in Oasis on his phone.
He looked again at that luxurious RV parked on the vacant lot with deep, eager eyes.
A teammate whispered,
"Did you see? They've started putting up the electric grid here again."
"But this time, it's not just Lin Zhigang setting up the grid, but several men have come."
The men, fully armed, moved the electric grid out bit by bit, and even a gigantic truck appeared, parked right next to the RV.
Captain Zhao decided he still needed to make contact with the people across the way.
There were only a dozen or so left on their side, and even if they didn't return to Oasis, they had to cling to the influential people in the RV.
At that moment, as Lin Zhigang, who was working on constructing the electric grid, received a phone call.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, merely answering casually. As soon as he said hello, a familiar voice came through the phone,
Hearing this, Lin Zhigang stood frozen on the spot, tears streaming down his eyes, choking up,
"Dad. Are you okay? Dad?"
"I, cough cough, I'm fine. Don't worry, I'm okay..."
Lin Xia's voice was tinged with weariness and heavy concern.
He kept insisting he was fine, but Lin Zhigang's brows knitted together tighter and tighter.
Then, a muffled grunt came from Lin Xia on the other end of the phone.
Lin Zhigang asked anxiously,
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
No one answered him, but Lin Zhigang could clearly hear the sound of blows landing on a body.
He screamed into the phone frantically,
"Dad, who's hitting you? Is it Chen Hu? Chen Hu, you bastard, don't hit my dad, do you hear me?"
"Chen Hu, don't hit my dad!!"
He shouted loudly, his voice attracting everyone nearby.
Hua Mi, who was originally in the RV with the children, was drawn out by Lin Zhigang's commotion.
The workers setting up the electric grid looked over at Hua Mi, their eyes filled with confusion.
Hua Mi raised her hand, signaling everyone to continue with their work.
She walked over to Lin Zhigang, took the phone from his hand, and listened to the sounds coming from the phone.
Lin Zhigang collapsed, holding his head in his hands, squatting on the ground.
He curled up in this way, combating the inner turmoil and heartache.
Who could remain calm upon hearing their father being beaten and tortured?
Hua Mi understood Lin Zhigang's feelings.
She patted Lin Zhigang's shoulder, then heard Chen Hu's voice coming from the phone.
Chen Hu's voice was sinister, even carrying a hint of pleasure as he asked Lin Zhigang,
"Have you missed me during this time without contact?"
Lin Zhigang didn't speak; he grabbed his hair tightly, pulling at it, and when he looked up again, his eyes were red-rimmed.
"Chen Hu, what do you want? What exactly do you want? It's not like I haven't listened to you, I've been here waiting for you, it was you who didn't come."
Chen Hu laughed mockingly,
"I can't get through to the location you mentioned, it's full of dangers. You don't really want me to pick up the kids, do you? Your real intent was for me to die in the Zombie Tide and Mutated Beast Tide, wasn't it?"
After successfully taking control of F City, Chen Hu had more people at his disposal.
These people made it clear to Chen Hu that Lin Zhigang's indicated location was impassable.
Lin Zhigang roared in anger,
"Then what do you want me to do? I've already brought out Hua Mi and Gong Yi's children, do you have any idea how difficult that was for me alone?"
"Don't you care that now I'm stuck in the midst of a Zombie Tide and Mutated Beast Tide, that the children with me might never get out of here either?"
On the other end, Chen Hu seemed quite indifferent, "If they can't get out, so be it."
"Whether the children with you live or die, I don't care."
