Chapter 373 Survivors from the North
Chapter 373 Survivors from the North
"Young Master Lin..."
This direction seems a bit off, doesn't it?
We've tried this route before, but there's no way out.
The hunting dog following behind Lin Fan looked at the path Lin Fan was leading and said.
However, Lin Fan didn't offer much explanation, only saying calmly:
"We still have our own people here."
Are there still our own people among them?
The four hounds looked surprised.
"You, you didn't come in alone?"
Lin Fan didn't say anything and continued walking forward on his own, but his mind was on other things.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the four hounds exchanged glances, then stopped talking and silently followed behind Lin Fan.
As Lin Fan walked ahead, he noticed the actions of the four people behind him from time to time, and for some reason, a smile appeared on his lips.
At this moment, he became even more convinced that these four people were definitely suspicious...
……
Meanwhile, as Lin Fan led his group forward...
At the nuclear power plant site, hundreds of kilometers away from him, new situations have also arisen.
On a watchtower on the outskirts of the base, a guard looking out with binoculars spotted a group of figures on the road not far from them.
Having been explicitly instructed by his superiors to report any situation immediately, the guards dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately picked up their communicators to contact the base.
"Commander Miller, a group of survivors has been discovered to the northeast of the base's perimeter, numbering approximately... about twenty."
"Report……"
The guards called out several times before Miller's serious voice finally came through the communicator.
"Keep a close eye on their movements and prepare for defense. I'll take my men there right away..."
Miller put down the communicator, immediately turned around and quickly left the office building, heading towards the base gate.
He drove to the base gate with several fully armed guards, climbed onto the roof of the car, picked up binoculars, and looked into the distance.
He quickly locked his gaze onto the crowd approaching from a distance using his binoculars.
That group of people had no means of transportation.
A group of people, men, women, young and old, walked towards the nuclear power plant on their own two legs.
As the figures drew closer, he gradually came to see their features more clearly.
They were a group of survivors, dressed in rags and looking haggard.
Besides the bundle he was carrying, no other weapons of mass destruction were seen on him.
Upon seeing this, Miller couldn't help but frown.
This group of people...
How did they survive in the wilderness?
During this period, the nuclear power plant has also received many survivors who had fled the disaster.
Therefore, it's not too surprising that someone would show up for him.
What struck him as odd was that this group of more than twenty people carried very rudimentary weapons.
In fact, having it or not having it makes absolutely no difference.
It's really hard to imagine how they grew up in that chaotic environment outside.
While Miller was pondering, the group of survivors who had appeared also arrived at the base gate.
When these people saw the fully armed security personnel at the entrance and the heavily armed soldiers on the towers on both sides of the entrance, the man in the lead quickly raised his hands first.
"Don't shoot, we are survivors fleeing the disaster."
"Our base was on a farm to the north, but it was destroyed yesterday. We are now homeless and hope you can take us in..."
The man spoke very sincerely.
Upon hearing this, Miller carefully examined the man, who was in his forties, with a full beard and somewhat sunken eyes.
On the surface, this group of people appeared harmless.
But Miller was very concerned about what the other person had just said.
"You said you came from the north?"
Miller frowned. "Are there still people alive over there?"
Lin Fan had repeatedly emphasized that he should always pay attention to the situation in the Black Forest in the north.
Unexpectedly, someone is coming from the north.
"Yes, yes, we have a base built on Clark Farm."
The middle-aged man quickly explained.
"My name is Kenny, and I'm their captain."
"We were living a good life there until a day ago, when a mysterious darkness descended and swallowed up the entire farm. That's when we escaped..."
Darkness devouring?
Miller's expression changed slightly upon hearing Kenny's words.
Remembering Lin Fan's instructions before he left, he couldn't help but ask:
"Was your entire farm swallowed up?"
Upon hearing this, Kenny and the people behind him seemed to recall something terrifying, and their faces showed fear.
Kenny nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes. Our farm was swallowed up shortly after darkness fell."
"Luckily, we reacted in time, otherwise we might have been swallowed up like that farm."
"What would happen if you were swallowed by that darkness?" Miller asked with interest.
"No, I don't know. Perhaps only those who have been swallowed by darkness know."
Kenny looked terrified, and then said,
"We are now completely homeless, and we hope you can take us in."
"Don't worry, we can do anything."
Upon hearing this, Miller once again gave Kenny and the others a second look.
The team included men, women, young and old.
There were only a few able-bodied young men who could serve as laborers.
Although such a team could be considered a burden in this mutated environment, Miller said without the slightest hint of disdain.
"Welcome to the nuclear power plant."
Then, he changed the subject.
"Of course, we can take you in completely, but you will need to cooperate with the investigation, and here, everything will be done according to my orders."
"Also, there are some areas inside the nuclear power plant that are off-limits to visitors. If you find these rules acceptable, then you can accept the inspection."
If you can't accept that, then you can leave.
"We accept it, we accept it, whatever the conditions are."
As soon as Miller finished speaking, Kenny nodded repeatedly.
"We can accept any conditions as long as we have a safe place to live."
"OK!"
Miller nodded, said nothing more, and instead gave an order to one of the guards beside him.
"Confiscate their weapons, then give them a check-up. If there are no problems, assign them to the resettlement area..."
After saying that, he turned around and went straight back to his car, then drove towards the office building.
"Bring your men and come with me."
After Miller left, the guard glanced at Kenny and the others, then turned and led them in another direction.
Upon hearing this, Kenny and the others exchanged glances and then followed the guard in an orderly fashion toward a house next to the main gate.
"There aren't many rules at the base..."
The guard walked ahead without looking back at the crowd and began to explain the rules inside the nuclear power plant.
However, he didn't notice...
As Kenny and the others entered the nuclear power plant, almost simultaneously everyone's gaze turned to the newly built cultivation area...
A faint wisp of black gas flashed past deep within Kenny's eyes.
And in the eyes of the survivors from the farm behind him, the same thing was stirring.
But no one noticed any of this.
