The third outer city.
Construction site.
Zhong Chuchu squatted and tied the steel bars, looking at the wall that was about to be built, and said to Shen Xiaoxiao next to her: "When the work on the wall is finished, a residential building will be built later. Then we can build another Do it for a while.”
Shen Xiaoxiao nodded and said: "Sister Chu Chu, what if the construction here is completed? We also have to take over the mission, right?"
Zhong Chuchu pointed to the piece of steel bar that Shen Xiaoxiao had tied and said: "Your tie is not strong enough, tie it again."
Shen Xiaoxiao said helplessly: "Sister Chu Chu, I don't want to tie steel bars anymore, and I have to squat down for most of the day. I still like to move cement. Moving cement is easier."
Zhong Chuchu choked for a moment. Looking at Shen Xiaoxiao's burly body, she suddenly felt that it was really difficult for Shen Xiaoxiao to tie steel bars here. It would be a waste if she didn't move cement with her physique.
Zhong Chuchu felt a little numb when she remembered that one package weighed 50 kilograms. It was a very strenuous and hard work.
Zhong Chuchu stood up, stretched her waist, and said to Shen Xiaoxiao: "We have just arrived here, and everything must be stable first. Didn't there be another team coming from the north the day before yesterday? It is said that they were also forced to leave by the motorcycle gangs. .
Recently I also observed the Dazhangshu base and it is very strong!
Let’s stop running around, it’s safer to stay here than anything else.”
Zhong Chuchu covered the sun with her hands, and said quietly with thoughtful eyes: "I always feel that escaping to the south is just the beginning, and more people will definitely come later.
What’s more, that biker gang has such great ambitions, and you might encounter that biker gang when carrying out a mission. So, it’s not very safe outside now, so let’s stay safe for now.”
These are the results of Zhong Chuchu's careful thinking. In her opinion, it is enough to have food to eat and be safe now.
This was the first time she had told these words to others.
For a long time, she didn't hear Shen Xiaoxiao's response.
Turning his head, he saw that Shen Xiaoxiao had disappeared.
"............"
She just talked about feelings a lot, but were they all talking to the air?
No matter how good-tempered she is, she wants to curse at this moment.
Where have you gone?
Zhong Chuchu's face showed displeasure, and she was not seen even while tying the steel bars.
Suddenly, she recalled the conversation between the two of them just now.
Moving cement?
This tiger girl is not really going to move cement, is she?
I walked a few steps forward and looked towards the mixing station.
Sure enough, she saw a burly female man wearing a black vest, carrying 6 bags of cement on his back, walking towards the mixing station.
It's Xiaoxiao.
As you get closer, you can hear other men talking.
"Damn, this is too strong. We only moved two bags, and she moved 6 bags at a time! It's really strong!"
"Sure enough, this physique is not in vain, it is so ferocious!"
"It's okay for her to move like this once or twice. Ours is a long-term move, which relies on endurance. You see, she can't move it many times."
............
Two people also came forward to remind me.
"Little girl, you are moving too much, please move less, otherwise you will easily injure your waist."
"Yes, it's three hundred pounds. If you do this for a long time, it's easy to strain your lumbar muscles. If your waist slips, you'll be in trouble."
Boom!
Shen Xiaoxiao put down the cement on his back with a smile on his face, as bright as a sunflower facing the sunshine.
"It's okay, I can do it. I feel quite relaxed at this weight."
Lolita, open your mouth and kneel.
The men nearby were shocked when they heard this voice.
Bai Wenyang, who was reminding her just now, even spurted out a mouthful of water.
The fists the size of sandbags, the big arm muscles, the bursting blood vessels, all stained with a layer of sweat, looked astonishingly lethal.
But what’s so great about this special lolita sound?
The contrast, the contrast is so great.
Seeing the shocked men, Shen Xiaoxiao thought they were worried about him, so he walked to the cement truck loaded with cement and picked up ten bags of cement from below.
This is a hug, not a carry.
After picking up ten bags of cement, he said to those people: "Look, six bags of cement are not tiring."
The crisp voice, with its softness, made many old men who were stinking of sweat feel a strong desire for protection.
But when they saw that the owner of the voice had such a physique, they gave up the idea.
Just this physique, this strength.
One punch would probably make you burp.
Everyone was a little embarrassed and said nothing more.
He cast admiring glances at Shen Xiaoxiao.
That's how it is here, as long as you have the ability, I respect you as a man...
Uh, girly man!
Zhong Chuchu, who had always been calm and composed, twitched twice unconsciously when she saw this scene.
But when she saw that Shen Xiao really liked moving cement more, she didn't stop him and turned around to leave.
It just so happened that Li Yu was on the wall near the third outer city at this time, and he happened to see Shen Xiaoxiao holding 500 kilograms of cement, and was a little surprised.
So he asked the second uncle next to him: "I originally thought Zhu Xiao was already very powerful, but I didn't expect someone to be more powerful than him. Whose team member is this?"
The second uncle coughed twice and said: "Shen Xiaoxiao, a member of Zhong Chuchu's team in the oil village, escaped from the north a while ago. Xiaoyu, haven't you met her?"
"It's her! She was wearing a black vest, and she almost didn't recognize her. Speaking of which, Zhou Weiguo felt something about her the first time he saw her. I wonder what He Chao arranged for her."
Li Yu watched Shen Xiaoxiao carrying six bags of cement easily, as if he was not tired and carried them continuously.
I remembered the last time I tested myself. I had to lift something weighing 500 kilograms. It was not too strenuous for me.
But it was only after I was reborn that my physical fitness improved.
If it had been in the previous life, he would definitely not have been able to hold it.
After thinking for a while, he smiled at his second uncle and said, "This girl is pretty good."
Then he considered another question and continued to ask: "By the way, how are the meals distributed to the people at the construction site now?"
“In the past, the dishes were fixed at two, and the rice was one and a half pounds per person.
But later I found that some people didn't have enough to eat, so I took care of the food and sent people to supervise it. They were not allowed to waste it or take it away. They were allowed to eat as much as they could."
The second uncle spoke.
Li Yu nodded and said reassuringly: "Well, don't save this little food. They are already tired from working, and they can't do it if they don't have enough to eat. Just like Shen Xiaoxiao, his appetite must be relatively large, otherwise he can't support it I can’t afford her physique.”
The second uncle said nothing and looked at Shen Xiaoxiao quietly on the wall.
Leaving the wall near the third outer city, Li Yu returned to the duty room.
The second uncle habitually picked up the walkie-talkie and wanted to contact his uncle to communicate about today's duty plan as usual.
But I remembered that Uncle Li Yu had already left the Da Zhangshu Base and headed for the Western Alliance.
On the third day after the third uncle came back, the uncle took Lao Lu, Lao Luo, and some non-staff personnel out.
In addition, the cannon couldn't sit still. After staying in the base for a few days, I felt a little tired.
So I applied to go to the Western Conference together.
It just so happened that Da Pao had been to the Western Conference last time and was familiar with it, so Li Yu asked Da Pao to follow his uncle there.
Just in time to help guide me.
People from Zuo Ruxue's group also joined in. Perhaps they were stimulated by Guo Peng and others, so they wanted to increase their points as soon as possible and then join the outer city.
The uncle didn't have any objection because the people in their group were women. Under the rules set by Li Yu, some behaviors that harassed women were not allowed.
There is no distinction between men and women when it comes to receiving and executing any tasks.
As long as you have the ability, you can do it.
Zuo Ruxue and the others have been extremely arduous along the way. Their life in the apocalypse has made them extremely brave. Even before joining the Da Zhangshu Base, they were provoked by some forces because they were women, but they proved it with ruthlessness. , they are not easy to bully.
After working hard for so long, Zuo Ruxue and the others are not weak in strength.
If he were weak, he wouldn't be alive now.
Since Zuo Ruxue and his team proposed this idea, the uncle asked them to go together after communicating with Li Yu.
Fortunately, they can also drive.
It took a full day and a half to drive.
They drove out a lot of cars on this trip.
The diesel fuel Li Yu brought back from the Western Alliance last time was directly added to the tanker truck.
Until now, the uncle has mainly stayed in the Da Zhangshu base for passive protection. This time he ran so far, which was the first time in the apocalypse.
Yesterday when he was walking through cities and small towns, he was saddened to see the dilapidated scenes.
Although I have been out before, it was mainly in Xincheng and Ganshi.
"Captain, I have chosen our station tonight, right here..." Cannon was familiar with this road, so he made a station plan early.
The uncle looked at the map and said, "Okay, was that where you were stationed last time?"
Cannon said: "Yes."
"Yeah." The uncle nodded slightly.
He is not a stubborn person, but is very adaptable.
You don’t have to prove yourself. Since there is a more experienced person around you who has been through this road, why not listen.
The drone was hovering in the sky. In the sky, a group of birds circled around the drone and then left.
On the road, perhaps because there were so many of them and they carried heavy machine guns that were mounted on the roof of the car, no one stopped them and robbed them.
We didn't encounter any setbacks along the way, but there were some troubles when walking on some winding mountain roads.
The eighteen-turn lane is a great test for one’s driving skills.
Fortunately, they passed without any danger.
.........
In the big camphor tree base.
The third uncle lazily held half an iced watermelon and a steel spoon, sitting on a chair in the underground plantation.
The watermelon may have just been taken out of the refrigerator and is still emitting white cold air.
Watermelon is seedless and has red flesh that looks very delicious.
The third uncle dug out a large piece with a spoon. The spoon rubbed against the flesh of the melon, making a rustling sound.
Put this piece of melon flesh into your mouth.
Katzkatz!
Bingbing is cool, refreshing and sweet.
The third uncle narrowed his eyes with satisfaction and touched the orange cat lying at his feet with one hand.
The orange cat's two blue eyes looked pitifully at the big watermelon in the third uncle's arms.
The third uncle laughed, then dug out a small piece and threw it on the ground.
The orange cat jumped over, stretched out its pink tongue, and licked the watermelon.
"Anya, the melons you grow are delicious. Amazing!" Third Uncle smiled and said to Anya who was working aside.
As he said this, he gave a thumbs up gesture.
Anya's face turned red and she quickly said to her third uncle: "You are overly complimentary. This watermelon is just ripe now. You can wait a little longer. The watermelon will taste better in a few days."
She has basically never left the inner and outer cities, and has always been wandering around the inner and outer cities.
I often see my third uncle, but I can’t help it. He loves fruits so much that he comes to the plantation almost every day and picks the freshest fruits to eat.
One comes, two goes, three comes and four goes.
Anya became familiar with Third Uncle as he came more frequently.
Although when the third uncle was in the base, every time he saw the third uncle, he looked lazy and seemed a bit lazy.
But later, after she heard some of Third Uncle's deeds and saw that Li Yu respected him very much, she realized that Third Uncle was not as lazy as he seemed.
After the third uncle came back from Cantonese style, he entered a state of self-cultivation.
Coupled with the recent hot weather, it feels a bit depressing when indoors.
He is a person who likes flowers, plants, insects and fish.
Just stay in the mountains and forests. There's no air conditioning, so it's really hot.
So in underground plantations, some plants need a constant temperature, but it is cooler here.
Or in the cave in the forest, there were some fish raised there during the natural disaster. Although most of them have been returned to the mountain pond now, there are still some in the pond over there.
Hearing Anya say that the watermelon is more delicious, the third uncle said with a smile: "Okay, I'll wait."
After saying that, he kicked his feet and the rocking chair shook slightly. He held the big watermelon and ate it slowly.
After Anya inspected the plants in the underground plantation, she said to her third uncle, "Sit down while I go get busy."
The third uncle waved his hand, indicating that he understood.
Anya also knew that the third uncle had just returned from a mission, so when she saw him lying so leisurely, she just felt that the third uncle might be too tired.
It's not that she has never stayed outside. Before she expanded the Zhangshu base, she, Bai Jie and others almost starved to death. They also experienced some horrific things, but luckily they escaped.
I know the cruelty outside, so I know how to cherish the beauty now.
And the third uncle often goes out to perform tasks. In Anya's view, that involves taking great risks.
Third Uncle, Li Yu and others are fighting outside, which is actually equivalent to carrying the burden for others.
Anya is very satisfied with her current life.
She put on the headphones that Li Yu gave her last time and rode a little e-mule.
Every afternoon, she would go to the greenhouse in the outer city to check the growth of the crops.
