Oil city.
The next day.
Li Yu woke up from his sleep. At around three o'clock yesterday morning, Lao Bi and Li Tie ran over to let him review the system of Oil City Walled City and the task exchange items for corresponding collaborators that they had worked out all night long.
I had no choice but to tell Lao Bi that no matter how late it was, I would ask him to come over and see me.
So from three o'clock to five o'clock in the morning, I spent time with Lao Bi and the others one by one. At least I finished it, and I slept at five o'clock until now 7:30 in the morning.
When he woke up in the morning, the temperature was still relatively low. Li Yu poured a handful of cold water on his face, which made him feel much more awake.
Then he picked up the plan that was negotiated last night from the table and looked through it again. After confirming that there was no problem, Li Yu got up and went to Zhong Chuchu's side.
At present, the repair work of the wall of the Oil City Walled City is imperative. As for the construction materials, the motorcycle gang has actually accumulated a lot of them there when they built the motorcycle gang's lair.
Now when the time comes, you can directly send people over to move those materials.
She handed the list in her hand to Zhong Chuchu and asked her to talk to her subordinates about this matter so that it could be implemented today.
For now, the most important thing is the repair work of the fence and the operation of the oil equipment.
Since arriving at the Oil City, oil extraction has been suspended for several days.
Zhong Chuchu looked at the list without much surprise on her face.
In addition, Li Yu found Ju Tianrui and asked him to prepare so that he could go to the motorcycle gang's headquarters to carry construction materials today.
Ju Tianrui had just woken up and said to Li Yu with a confused look on his face: "Shall we start repairing the wall today?"
Li Yu nodded and said: "Yes, it has been decided. Let's start working directly."
The plan that Lao Bi and Li Tie made last night actually included how to strengthen the existing fence.
In the past, these fences used the simplest method, which was container stacking. Several huge containers were stacked up to automatically form a fence.
The advantage of doing this is that it saves a lot of time and effort.
But there are also some disadvantages. After experiencing wind, rain, sun, rain, and natural disasters in the past two years, the container has some small gaps in many places. These gaps are no bigger than the mouth of a bowl, and they are all corroded by rain.
That piece became a little brittle.
The new method they adopted is very straightforward, which is to fill the container with soil and then pour a layer of mud on the surface based on the current method.
To be precise, a layer of concrete is added to the surface of the container.
With the soil in the container, the weight is increased and it is not easily blown by wind and rain. In addition, the container is blended with concrete. In this way, the container isolates oxygen and avoids oxidation.
This method is the simplest, most time-saving and effective method based on the current fence.
Ju Tianrui received the order without any ambiguity, so he took his people and set off to carry the materials.
Li Yu looked at Zhong Chuchu who came out of the cafeteria and asked, "Have you finished talking? How about it?"
Zhong Chuchu nodded and said: "After that, what they mean is... when can we start?"
"Now." Li Yu heard this with a smile on his face.
"Now?" Zhong Chuchu asked with some confusion.
"Yes, we are transporting building materials. We have them now. Is there anyone who can take them?" Li Yu smiled and asked Zhong Chuchu.
Zhong Chuchu saw Ju Tianrui who was preparing a truck not far away, and said quickly: "Yes, I will tell them that we can start now."
"Yeah. For the extraction of these subsequent tasks and the exchange of grain, I have to contact Lao Bi. He probably hasn't gotten up yet." Li Yu said calmly.
"Okay." Zhong Chuchu nodded vigorously.
soon.
Many people came out of the cafeteria. Li Yu told Ju Tianrui about this matter. After hearing this, Ju Tianrui also had a smile on his face.
It would be better if someone comes to help.
Half an hour later, Ju Tianrui led dozens of people and drove toward the motorcycle gang's home base.
.........
Lao Bi only woke up at noon. After reaching the age of thirty-five, staying up late became a bit difficult.
When he woke up, he saw that someone was starting to build the fence.
Ju Tianrui and the others not only brought over the building materials, but also brought back all the things that the motorcycle gang had prepared to build their lair.
According to the old ghost's original plan, the place where the motorcycle gang's lair is is very large and requires a lot of materials.
At first, most of the area around Xinyang was looted, and only half of the materials needed to build the wall were collected, so we had to collect them while building.
You must know that the original motorcycle gang imprisoned more than a thousand slaves at the same time to build the wall.
As for the Oil City Walled City, only a hundred people died.
However, the biker gang's home base is almost the size of a small town street, dozens of times larger than the oil city walled city.
In addition, the chosen construction method is based on the original foundation for reinforcement, so it will be much simpler.
Lao Bi rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at the oil city wall that was being built in full swing. He walked to Li Yu who was standing on the side in a daze and asked: "Mr. Li, is this going to start?"
"Yes, efficiency comes first. Are you still waiting for the New Year?" Li Yu glanced at him and said calmly.
"No, no, I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. Where did these building materials come from?" Lao Bi was a little confused.
"Oh, by the way, you didn't go to the motorcycle gang's headquarters a few days ago. All these building materials were moved from there and can be used just in time." Li Yu said.
Lao Bi watched as the gate of the Oil City Walled City opened. Cars carrying some building materials kept coming in, and then some empty cars went out at the same time.
He looked like he was in full swing.
Seeing this, Lao Bi was a little surprised and a little happy at the same time. After all, Li Yu and the others will return to the Da Zhangshu base in a few days.
By then, there may be more than forty people left.
If the walls can be built earlier, it will increase their confidence in resisting zombies or enemies.
At this time, news came from Ju Tianrui, who was far away in the motorcycle gang's home base.
"Mr. Li, some of the people we rescued when we wiped out the motorcycle gangs saw us carrying construction materials.
Someone asked, so I told him about the cooperative member model. He wanted to come over and join in the transportation and then exchange for food. What do you think?"
Li Yu pondered for a long time.
To be honest, who wouldn’t like a larger population?
But a large number of people means pressure on food. We only seized a small amount of food from the motorcycle gang.
If these hundreds, or even thousands, of people were taken in, it would be impossible to feed them. If they were taken in and they couldn't be fed, trouble would arise.
So he implemented cold treatment.
I saved you, but I can't feed you.
You can fend for yourself.
........
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and looked at the wall being built.
The wall of the Oil City Walled City is different from that of the Motorcycle Gang's lair. The Bicycle Gang's lair is from 0 to 1, and its area is dozens of times larger, and its requirements are also quite high.
Based solely on the information told by the survivors, Li Yu estimated that the walls of the motorcycle gang's lair could be built on a scale of thousands of people and would take more than a year to complete.
Oil City is small in area and is reinforced on the original basis, so the speed is a hundred times faster.
After weighing the left and right, Li Yu said to Ju Tianrui: "I will give you an answer later."
Immediately, Li Yu approached his third uncle to discuss the matter.
"Third uncle, many of the slaves of the motorcycle gangs we rescued before stayed in the gang's lair. This morning when I asked Ju Tianrui to go over to carry building materials, I learned about the cooperative personnel model. I thought
How do you feel about participating?"
The third uncle heard this and said: "This is a good thing. It can speed up the construction of the wall of the oil city."
"But, we don't have that much food..."
The third uncle said with some surprise: "Didn't they seize dozens of tons from the motorcycle gang's home base?"
Li Yu said: "Yes, that's not what I'm mainly worried about. If there is one, there will be two. I'm afraid that if we ask them to help and then exchange the food, they will form an inertia and ask us to send tasks later. This is equivalent to having to raise food.
It’s catching them.”
The third uncle suddenly laughed.
"Xiaoyu, you are thinking too much. The gun is in our hands, and we have the initiative. The reason why I think the cooperation model is good is that it is a one-time transaction and we do not owe each other. In fact, you don't have to think so much.
If he is asked to work today, I will give him food. If he does not need it today, he will not come. If he insists on coming, I will not give him food.
If he robs me, I will kill him. You should understand this truth.
Moreover, the most important thing is that we have not left the Oil City Walled City yet. If you are worried that so many of them will rebel during the repairs, we can wait here and wait until the wall is repaired before leaving."
The third uncle looked at Li Yu with some surprise.
One word awakens the dreamer.
Li Yu patted his head. It was such a simple truth, why did he need to be reminded by his third uncle?
So he said: "My mind has not turned around, I understand."
He immediately contacted Ju Tianrui and expressed that he could cooperate with those people.
The left and right are also being repaired, and the speed should be much faster. It doesn't matter if we wait.
After Ju Tianrui received the news from Li Yu, he talked to those people and expressed that he could cooperate and exchange for food.
With the cooperation of these people, the speed of moving building materials and construction suddenly accelerated.
Li Yu and the others did not directly participate in the repair. Instead, they stood around the wall and monitored them at all times to prevent these people from doing other things secretly while the wall was being repaired.
Time flew by and it was around four o'clock in the afternoon.
Li Yu asked Lao Bi to exchange grain for these people.
After some of them got the food, they left the oil city directly and found a place to rest not far away.
After all, these people were not from the original oil city, so Li Yu did not let them enter the city.
After they learned that they could obtain food through this method tomorrow, they all expressed that they would come again tomorrow.
At night.
Lao Bi was there with a calculator to calculate the grain exchanged today.
On average, one person consumes about one kilogram of food per day, which is nearly a thousand people.
One day is equivalent to thousands of kilograms of grain. Judging from the current progress, it will take about six days to repair the wall of the Oil City, which is about 6,000 kilograms.
Three tons.
This is how fast those people came to cooperate and help. If Li Yu later took away Lao Huangtou and Zhong Chuchu, only a few dozen people would be left.
The repair speed may be twenty times slower, and it is estimated that it will take at least three months to complete the repair.
There is strength in numbers.
Sure enough.
Under the lamp, Li Yu walked through the darkness.
"How? How much food did you consume today?"
Lao Bi frowned and said: "1023 kilograms. If all repairs are completed, it will probably cost more than three tons."
When Li Yu heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief.
This was less than he expected.
In fact, compared to the Da Zhangshu Base, if all the collaborators are integrated here, the pressure will be extremely high.
The Da Zhangshu base still has at least thousands of tons of grain inventory, and with stable planting, it can continue to produce grain.
However, there is only exit from the Oil City Walled City, but no entrance.
At the Da Zhangshu base, due to the construction of the third outer city and the large number of collaborators, plus the consumption of personnel in the inner and outer cities of the base, more than ten tons of food are consumed every month.
Fortunately, the Da Zhangshu base can now produce sixty or seventy tons of grain every quarter.
Now the third outer city is almost completed, and the planting area has increased by 150 acres. If there are no accidents, the grain output can be increased by 70 to 80%, reaching a quarterly output of more than 100 tons of grain.
Li Yu calculated it and found that it would take more than three tons and six days.
In fact, it’s still a good deal for them.
Use food to increase repair speed and exchange food for time.
After understanding the situation, Li Yu looked at Lao Bi and said: "There are too many people repairing the wall now. It is not safe to leave more than forty of you alone. I have talked with my third uncle. After the wall is repaired, we will
go back."
"Really? That's great. I was thinking that if you guys go there later, I only have about forty people here, which is totally insufficient... Now it's better. Mr. Li is as meticulous as his hair.
You are so considerate of me." Lao Bi's bitter face turned into a smile in an instant.
Li Yu smiled, shook his head and left.
Six days should be enough time.
Besides, Ant and Uncle Jackal have already said that some minor faults in the helicopter can be eliminated tomorrow.
At that time, we can fly back by helicopter. We haven’t contacted Da Zhangshu Base for so long, and we don’t know what the current situation is at Da Zhangshu Base.
Li Yu thought about it and then slowly returned to the RV.
He was thinking about another thing at this time.
The helicopter's carrying capacity is actually quite good. It can carry 12 tons without people.
If it carries people, it can carry 24 people.
And it’s very fast. If you travel during the day, you can fly back to the Da Zhangshu base in three and a half hours.
You can fly at least two round trips a day.
It just burns too much fuel, but now that they have an oil city, they have far more continuous fuel, and this shortcoming has been solved.
"It's a pity that there is only one. It would be nice if there were more." Li Yu sighed in his heart at this time.
His original plan was to build a transfer station between the Oil City and the Da Zhangshu Base.
In this way, whether it takes two days to go from the Da Zhangshu Base to the Oil City Walled City or back, this transfer station can provide them with shelter at night, without having to spend time looking for a night camping spot.
However, now that helicopters are suddenly available, the travel time has been shortened ten times, and the transfer station does not seem to be so necessary.
"No, a transfer station must be established. The transport capacity of helicopters alone is too small. If the helicopter breaks down, it will be troublesome."
Li Yu murmured in a low voice, and finally decided to build a transfer station between the Oil City and the Da Zhangshu Base.
This transit point is waiting for him to find a suitable place when he goes back.
