The sun sets in the west, and a faint yellow transparent mist fills the forest.
Vehicles slowly move along the country road, and the scenery around gradually becos serene and majestic.
Vast mountains surround the road, as if guarding this quiet land. The afterglow of the sunset gradually spreads across the earth, coloring the contours of the mountains red, adding a mysterious and warm hue to the entire scene.
There are also so houses on both sides of the country road, and so people can be seen on the rooftops of these houses. At this ti, these people also noticed Third Uncle and their vehicles, giving them a salute.
After passing the country road, they turned into an intersection.
Passing through a dense forest, the breeze rustled the leaves, producing a rustling sound. Sunlight filters through the gaps in the treetops, like speckled light spots dotting the roads. The fresh scent of the forest fills the air, making one feel calm and comfortable.
Suddenly, after passing through the forest.
The end of the forest opens up, and a wide open space reveals itself to everyone.
Ant marvels at the sight from inside the car.
A massive thirty-ter-high city wall stands before them, like a sleeping dragon, winding up along the mountains.
The city wall is sturdily built, and behind the wall, there is an even higher lookout.
The afterglow of the sunlight makes the city wall and watchtower glisten with gold, exuding a sense of solemnity and power.
And on the wall, several people ard with guns are walking back and forth patrolling.
Ant looks at this scene in shock, stamring as he asks, "This, is this the Big Camphor Tree Base?"
His eyes are wide open, his face full of disbelief.
He cannot imagine that after leaving the national road, in this seemingly remote place, there is such a magnificent building.
Moreover, he sees the people on the wall all holding guns, and most crucially, he sees a heavy machine gun right in the center of the wall.
Third Uncle turns his head, seeing Ant's surprised expression, and smiles as he says, "Yes, this is the Big Camphor Tree Base."
Ant looks at the endless city wall, unable to judge how long this wall is, how big the Big Camphor Tree Base is, but judging by the current view alone, it certainly isn't small.
What a grand gesture, he muses to himself.
"Those people outside, when we enter the Big Camphor Tree Base, the people in those hos, are they also from the Big Camphor Tree Base?" Ant asks.
Third Uncle explains, "I ntioned to you before the four-level rank system; they are the Big Camphor Tree Base's extra staff and cooperative personnel, all over there."
"Got it." The look of shock in Ant's eyes doesn't fade as he nods slightly.
Previously, when coming from the country road, he saw dozens of people. Certainly, there must be more people, so it's inferred that the population of this Big Camphor Tree Base should not be small.
As the vehicles slowly drive in, Li Yu, already inford of Third Uncle's return, is waiting on the wall. When he sees Third Uncle and their vehicles, he instructs Dapao to open the gate.
As this giant door opens, several dozen vehicles of Third Uncle and their group slowly drive in.
Ant, rarely seen sitting on a bench, surprisingly feels a bit nervous.
Honestly, he's been in the post-apocalypse for over two years, and he's never seen such spectacle.
He cannot imagine how much manpower and resources it takes to build such a vast and grand base in the post-apocalypse.
More importantly, he wonders what the people inside are like, what the structure is inside, and what the system is inside.
He has seen so groups and forces before, and has built so bases, but those bases are completely incomparable to the Big Camphor Tree Base before him.
Suffice it to say, just this wall alone could overshadow all the bases he has seen.
Also, he has witnessed the overthrow of many bases firsthand.
Internal strife, coupled with natural disasters and zombie outbreaks, have led to the destruction of one base after another.
He is very curious about how the Big Camphor Tree Base manages to do it, and even more curious whether it is constructed by many forces inside.
Although he heard the captain say that the main person in charge here is the captain's nephew, he assus they use an electoral system, with power still dispersed among the leaders of various forces.
Third Uncle never actively ntioned it to him, so naturally, he assud the situation in the Big Camphor Tree Base is similar to other bases' situations, thinking it would be the sa.
The few bases he has seen are basically built by several forces together, and possibly more forces were joined later, but in those bases, although the population is large, there is much internal strife, often resulting in other forces being sent to resist zombie outbreaks, preserving their own strength.
.......
As he ponders, the gate opens with a rumble.
Old Qin drives the armored RV to lead the way inside, followed closely by Zhu Xiao and others.
Ant sees that upon entering inside the wall, what greets the eye is a plot of empty land a few hundred square ters, with nothing else inside except a small twenty square ter house at the corner.
He notes that this should be Weng City.
Behind this Weng City, there is another door, and on the left side, there's also a door, but he doesn't know where these doors lead.
Very soon.
Li Yu, Second Uncle, Father Li, Yang Tianlong, Li Gang, Li Tie, Third Aunt, He Chao, and others all descend from the wall, walking towards Third Uncle's group.
A large crowd cos over, and Ant inside the car tries to distinguish how many forces are divided among them.
