Chapter 709: Undercurrent [First update]
March twenty-fifth.
More than a week has passed since the construction of the third outer city began.
Uncle San took Lao Qin and the others to discover the first batch of steel in Guangshi and brought back the first batch of steel.
We are going to set off tomorrow, and we just happened to be resting at the base today. Since there are more people going there this time, food, weapons and ammunition, and vehicles must all be prepared again, which will also take time.
On this trip, the number of people will exceed a hundred.
It was still the third uncle and Lao Qin who took the lead. In addition, Xiao Jun led a ten-person combat team, plus Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao and other forty people who went together last time.
In addition, Xiao Hu and others from the non-staff team 2 were recruited.
The main requirement for Xiao Hu and his team to go together on this trip is that they can drive a vehicle. Although in the apocalypse, there are no traffic rules and they can run around at will.
But a large truck like this, without some skills, can easily overturn on this bumpy road.
Another reason is that Xiao Hu and the others, as members of Group 2, have been non-staff members for some time. After such a long period of inspection, they have also won the recognition of Li Yu and others, so they are given such an opportunity.
The temperature in March was much higher than the original temperature before the end of the world.
The temperature in the apocalypse is always so unpredictable and difficult to fathom.
It heats up quickly and cools down quickly.
When the sun rises as usual and shines brightly on the base of the big camphor tree, Ant wakes up early in the morning. He is woken up by Xiao Hei.
After he woke up, he took Xiao Hei out of the residential building and looked at the First Outer City surrounded by high walls.
At this time, apart from him, Ju Tianrui and others were also awake and washing themselves at the sink outside. After seeing the ants, they nodded slightly and said hello.
Now in the first outer city, more than a hundred people live here.
Lao Qin, Lao Zhou, He Chao, Lao Yi, Lao Bi, Lao Luo, Ju Tianrui and Hua Gan are all here.
Early morning, rising sun.
Everything feels like just waking up.
The morning breeze blew on the big trees in the First Outer City, causing their leaves to sway slightly.
The air is fresh, and there are several swallows' nests under the eaves.
Some swallows flew back from outside.
Looking at all this, Ant once again lamented that the Da Zhangshu Base was like this.
Apart from anything else, just from what he saw from yesterday to today, the mental outlook of the people in the Da Zhangshu Base was completely different from the people outside.
One is full of vitality, with a beautiful vision for the future on his face.
One is lifeless, with confusion and worry on his face. He doesn't know why he is alive, and he doesn't know how long he can live.
"Are you awake?" Suddenly a voice came from beside the ant, it was Lao Qin's voice.
The ant nodded, his face full of energy.
"Come on, I'll take you for a walk here. It was dark last night and I couldn't see clearly." Lao Qin patted Ant on the shoulder and then walked to the public toilet and bathroom.
"This is where we wash up."
"This is the toilet and bathroom."
"Well, if you want to drink water over there, you can pick it up over there. He Bing and the others built a water purifier a while ago. I think it works well. You can drink water over there. The water source is underground water.
"
Lao Qin took Ant around the entire residential building and introduced it personally.
Looking at the bathroom, Ant felt a little jealous and asked, "Can I take a bath later?"
"Of course you can, but now there is a restriction on taking a bath. You can only take a bath for 8 minutes. I am afraid of wasting water," Lao Qin said.
Then he took out another card from his body and handed it to Ant, "You can use this later to swipe it and it will be used."
"Okay, Xiao Hei, just help me keep an eye on it for now." Ant lowered his head and saw Xiao Hei, and said to Lao Qin.
"become."
This first outer city is neither big nor small.
In addition to a basketball court, there are several roads and residential buildings. The largest one is the greenhouse. In addition, there are only a few smaller houses left, which are used to store sundries and equipment.
soon.
Ant followed Lao Qin back to their room, and Lao Zhou lived in the same room with them.
This room was originally occupied by Lao Zhou and Lao Qin, and the place was not small.
The room, which is less than ten square meters, has two double beds, but they originally used the upper bunk to store various sundries.
After a brief cleaning yesterday, the ants slept on Lao Qin's upper bunk.
At this time, Lao Zhou also woke up.
He looked at the two people walking in from the door and said with a smile: "It's so early."
"Good morning." Ant also greeted Lao Zhou.
Yesterday, after Lao Qin's introduction, Lao Zhou also knew Ant's identity, so he had a good impression of Ant.
Lao Zhou also went to a lathe factory after he was discharged from the army, so everyone is in the army, there are not so many twists and turns, it is simple, they all speak with their strength.
After Ant entered the room, he rummaged through his package and found a set of clean clothes. Then he handed Xiao Hei to Lao Qin and walked to the bathroom that Lao Qin just pointed to.
When he walked into the bathroom, there was no one in the entire bathroom.
In recent days, people in the First Outer City have been busy at the construction site of the Third Outer City. They go out to work after breakfast when the sun comes out, and they come back tired and covered in sweat just before dark.
I took a shower directly after I came back.
So basically no one takes a shower in the bathroom in the morning.
Looking at the empty and large bathroom, Ant felt like he was traveling through time and space.
He felt like he was back in the military camp again. This unreal feeling was disrupted by the warm water sprayed from the nozzle after swiping his card.
Some soapy water was squeezed out from the pipe next to it, which should also be produced at the camphor tree base.
Making soap is actually not difficult or troublesome.
He scrubbed his body.
A few minutes later, as the water stopped, he finished washing.
Wiping her wet hair, she got dressed and walked out of the bathroom.
The air outside the bathroom shocked his whole body.
When he returned to the room, he saw three more wolf dogs in the room.
At this time, the three wolf dogs surrounded Xiao Hei, and Li Yu next to him scolded: "Iron pillar, Cuihua, Goudan, get back."
Tap tap tap——
Ant walked in and also scolded Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei!"
When Xiao Hei heard his master's voice, he immediately swung his tail and ran towards the ant.
Li Yu saw the ant coming in and said to the ant with a smile: "Uncle Ant, you have trained Xiao Hei very well. Please teach me."
When Ant saw Li Yu, he immediately said to Li Yu: "City Lord, how can I teach you anything? I just teach you casually."
"You're so humble." Lao Qin said cheerfully beside him.
"The military dog he trained before had achieved military exploits." Lao Qin said, "It was just that he was later killed by a drug dealer."
As soon as these words came out, Lao Qin and Ant both thought of the military dog and instantly felt a little depressed.
However, the two soon recovered.
Ant looked at these three wolf dogs and marveled: "City Lord, these three wolf dogs seem to be very humane. In fact, I feel that your teachings are quite good now. How did you train them?"
Li Yu pointed at the three wolf dogs and said: "Just a simple training like that. The more they were beaten when they were young, the more obedient they became. Then there were some simple commands and gestures, and they gradually remembered them."
After saying that, he shouted to the three little wolfdogs: "Get down!"
In an instant, iron pillars, dog eggs, and green flowers lined up in a row, and then lay down.
"Get up, iron egg." Li Yu said again.
The iron egg in the middle instantly stood up.
Ant looked at these three wolf dogs. They were already more than ten months old. They looked very much like wolves. This may be because the father of these three dogs was a wolf. He was still the second generation and his bloodline was relatively pure.
From the appearance characteristics of these three wolfdogs, at first glance, you would definitely think that they are wolves, but there are some traces of dogs in some features.
He is tall and powerful, with shiny fur, but he is still a little smaller than the German Shepherd.
Ant watched Li Yu give commands and gestures to the three wolf dogs, and praised them: "City Lord, to be honest, your training has been very good."
"Yeah, haha." Li Yu smiled when he heard this.
Then he looked at Lao Qin and Ant, his expressions straightened. It was Uncle San who came over to tell you, but I happened to be coming over here, so I want to talk to you.
"Uncle Qin, Uncle Ant, it's not easy to find steel in Guang City, so you still need to go there together tomorrow to transport the remaining steel. But this time, not only you and Zhu Xiao, but I will also let
Xiao Jun and the others will go there together."
Li Yu talked about the business with the two of them.
Lao Qin had already expected it, so he nodded without any surprise and said: "No problem, Mr. Li, we will pack up today and set off tomorrow morning."
Li Yu then looked at Ant, he wanted to see Ant express his position.
Ant said without hesitation: "Of course, I'm relatively familiar with it there, so it's okay."
For Ant, as long as the captain and Lao Qin are there, that's where he wants to be.
"Okay, I'll leave first. I'll go talk to Xiao Jun now." Li Yu whistled and walked out with three wolf dogs.
Soon, Li Yu found Xiao Jun again and personally handed over the task to Xiao Jun.
And asked Xiao Jun to take ten people with him.
Xiao Jun looked excited. He admired his third uncle very much and respected the members of the legendary special forces team very much.
Now I have an opportunity to go out on a mission with three members of the legendary special forces team, which is exciting just thinking about it.
So I agreed without hesitation.
After Li Yu explained all this, he left the first outer city.
When we came to the wall, the sun rose.
The time has come to half past seven, and in half an hour, the construction of the Third Outer City will begin.
In more than a week and less than ten days, the foundation of the nearly 300-meter-long wall has been built. Now only the underground foundation has been laid, and the ground is only more than two meters high.
The above-ground part, actually counting it, has not started yet.
It is estimated that it will take more than a month to lay the foundation.
150 acres, 100,000 square meters, and a circumference of about 1,300 meters.
These are only three walls. The wall near the inner city can be used directly.
This is a big project.
Compared with the difficulty of building before the end of the world, it is completely different.
Before the apocalypse, all you needed to do was have money and place an order to transport the materials you needed. But in the apocalypse, you need to find all of these materials. If you can't find some materials, you have to find a way to get them yourself.
Among other things, cement requires professional talents and equipment in the apocalypse, as well as the collection of various materials. At the same time, there are certain requirements for water sources and electricity.
If the Da Zhangshu Base had not had many collaborators to collect building materials and sufficient electricity, building such a large third outer city would be nothing more than a pipe dream.
Time flows slowly.
Soon, many people left the first outer city, brought various equipment and vehicles, and came to the third outer city outside to start construction work.
At this time, many cooperators drove some vehicles filled with various building materials to the weighbridge in the Third Outer City to be weighed.
Some of them did not come over to redeem them because it was too dark after returning from transportation yesterday, so they came here early in the morning to redeem food and points.
He Chao took a few people there to be responsible for weighing, and then contacted Li Yuan in Wengcheng and asked these collaborators who handed over the building materials to exchange for grain in Wengcheng.
Everything is going on in an orderly and orderly manner.
The third uncle was in the base and slept until noon.
After waking up, I did nothing. After lunch, I walked around the inner city with a teapot.
Li Gang and Sumei, a policewoman who followed Lao Lu, were together before. The third uncle watched Li Hang become a father, so he also urged Li Gang, hoping that they would get married and have a child as soon as possible.
Anyway, for the current Da Zhangshu base, raising a child is not that difficult.
Housing and basic living security can be met, so under such a prerequisite, some couples and couples in the base are planning to have a baby.
But, this requires courage.
After all, this is the end of the world.
Western Conference.
Qianlong discussed with Wayne, Yao Zuo and others all night and came up with a plan to go to Gan City.
Then I found Gan Xiong.
There is a gloomy and bleak atmosphere in the Western Conference right now.
In order to reduce food consumption, they reduced the food supply for most people by one-half.
It can only maintain a half-full state, and some people with larger appetites cannot even eat three-thirds full.
"Dad, this is our plan, please take a look." Qianlong handed the paper with the written plan to his father.
At the same time, he explained on the side: "We plan to act separately on the first day. Yao Zuo and I will be a team, and Wayne will be a team. There are too many people and the goals are too big to hide.
.
In addition, if there are too many people, it is easy to attract zombies, so it is better to plan to separate.
When we arrived in Gan City, we first understood the local situation and power distribution.
And identify the murderer who killed the third brother and the others.
The next step is to start a detailed understanding of this force.
The above is just a general plan now and is not yet complete, but once we get there, we will act accordingly based on the situation.
The entire incident cycle is fifteen days.”
Gan Xiong frowned, listening to Gan Long's plan, and asked: "Second plan, do you plan to attract the zombies to the enemy's location yourself? And at night? This won't work, it's too dangerous, and you won't be able to do it.
You are surrounded by zombies, and you will tell the truth in the mouths of the zombies before the other party takes action."
Yao Zuo's eyes flickered slightly and he said: "Boss, if we can find that force, we can use some blood to bury it in the area of that force, so that the smell of blood is not strong.
Calculating the time, it will soon be April, the Qingming Festival, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will rain.
The sense of smell of zombies is much more sensitive than that of humans, and it is enhanced by rain.
When the time comes, we can destroy that base without taking action."
Gan Xiong's eyes lit up. Faced with this plan, although he already knew the answer, he still deliberately asked: "Where did so much blood come from?"
With a sinister look on his face, Yao Zuo said, "We will always find some survivors over there."
As soon as he said this, Wayne on the opposite side looked at him with something wrong.
I feel a chill on my back.
Cruel, too cruel.
Although in the apocalypse, this is nothing, but saying it so frankly is enough to show how cruel Yao Zuo's heart is.
After all, from a higher latitude, they are all human beings, and their common enemy is zombies.
But now they use zombies to deal with other humans.
This is somewhat anti-human behavior.
But,
Putting all this aside, Wayne was quite appreciative of this plan.
This is to use the least effort to accomplish the greatest things.
Borrow strength, use the power of zombies.
Use the power of zombies to kill other humans.
Moreover, the introduction that uses the power of zombies is still the same human blood.
Cruel enough!
Gan Xiong nodded slightly and two words came out of his mouth: "Not bad!"
After Qianlong heard this, he didn't think there was anything wrong. For him, as long as he could kill his enemy, the method and means were not important.
Gan Xiong asked them carefully about their plans, and then made modifications and improvements one by one.
In this perfect plan, one of the outstanding ones is the concealment and the one-hit kill style.
"Okay, that's almost it. You can set off tomorrow. Lao Zhuang, give them a thousand rounds of ammunition. Give them two hundred guns, and let them choose other cold weapons by themselves." Gan Xiong thought for a while and said.
A thousand rounds of bullets!
On average, each person holding a gun only has five rounds.
How to fight this.
When Qianlong heard this, he immediately said unhappily: "Dad, these one thousand rounds of bullets are too few. It's really just two shots and they're gone."
Gan Xiong did not answer his words. Instead, Lao Zhuang next to him said helplessly: "Young Master, our base is really short of bullets now. To be honest, these thousand rounds of bullets were picked out from between the teeth. It can
It’s already difficult to take out a thousand rounds.”
Gan Xiong waved his hand and said to Lao Zhuang: "Stop talking, give them five hundred shots."
Immediately, he said to Qianlong and others: "Remember my words, only be smart, not forceful, only win, not fail. These are the most elite people in our base, you have to bring them back.
Understand?"
After talking about it, it became a bit serious and rude.
Qianlong heard what his father meant and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand."
Fifteen hundred rounds, equivalent to 200 people, average less than 8 rounds per person.
Too little.
"Tomorrow morning, you can set off. Food, bullets, weapons, and vehicles must be ready." Gan Xiong finally said.
Lao Zhuang, Qian Long and others all nodded, indicating that they understood and would be ready.
Outside the room, there was a man squatting at the door and eavesdropping, listening to their plan with twinkling eyes.
"I'm going tomorrow. It seems I have to be ready. If you don't let me go, then I'll go with you secretly. When I get out, it's a done deal and there's no way you'll let me go back."
After eavesdropping from the door and grasping the outcome of the discussion between his eldest brother and his father, Gan Hu quietly left, murmuring in his heart.
