Big camphor tree base.

Outer city, residential buildings.

Uncle San, Ant and others were having a great time eating pig head meat and drinking home-brewed rice wine.

Reminiscing about the past, they clinked glasses and laughed heartily.

After Xiaoyong finished eating, he sat obediently and listened to their chat.

But as the night got darker, Xiaoyong began to doze off a little, his head nodding like a chicken pecking at rice, and he fell into the jackal's arms.

When the jackal saw Xiaoyong sleeping, he put him to sleep on the bed next to him.

This long-awaited meeting allowed them to say a lot of things they wanted to say at once.

We talked about our respective experiences over the years, as well as some things we encountered after the end of the world.

The drinking lasted until two in the morning.

It looked like the food had been finished and the wine had been drunk.

The third uncle then stood up and said to everyone: "Okay, that's it for today. It's time for me to go back and rest. You should go to bed early. Let's drink again when we are free later."

Lao Qin and others all agreed.

The third uncle looked at Xiaoyong who was still sleeping, a smile appeared on his lips, and then left the residential building.

When he walked out of the residential building, a gust of night wind blew by, which shocked the third uncle. He only had half a kilogram of rice wine, and he was a little tipsy at first, but he basically didn't feel anything after that.

At this time, the third uncle's consciousness was also very clear. He was walking on the way back to the inner city, and the street lights on the road illuminated the road.

The third uncle looked at the two mountains in the dark inner city, looked at the searchlights in the watchtowers above, and patrolled back and forth.

He slowly let out a breath of alcohol.

He had been looking forward to this day for a long time.

It can be regarded as an explanation.

He returned to the inner city and entered the villa area. After a brief cleaning in the bathroom, he fell asleep.

.........

At dawn the next day.

At Da Zhangshu Base, the entire base seems to be waking up from a deep sleep.

Smoke curled up from cooking stoves, and people were walking in twos and threes on the sidewalks inside and outside the city.

Anya gets up very early, and almost every morning, she goes to check the crops in the greenhouse as soon as possible.

The new first quarter crops have been planted and we just need to wait. However, some of the vegetables have a short growth cycle, so a batch of vegetables will be harvested almost every few days.

Li Tie, who was on duty at the fence yesterday, also took a rest at this time and returned to the base to catch up on his sleep.

Li Yu still gets up early and runs around the mountains and forests to exercise.

People in the inner city were used to seeing him get up early and run, rain or shine, unless it was in extreme weather or after a mission.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, Li Yu would get up and exercise in the morning.

His strong self-discipline also impressed everyone in the inner city.

...........

Next door to Xincheng is Chen City in Hunan Province.

After a night's rest, Qianlong and others began to prepare to set off.

According to the plan they discussed last night, they headed to Gan City together at this time.

Qianlong looked at Yao Zuo and Wayne and said to them, "Let's go!"

As the order was issued, they drove dozens of vehicles, more than 200 people, slowly towards Gan City.

At this time, in the Dazhangshu base, Ju Tianrui, who had had breakfast, led ten people to drive an electric car out of the Dazhangshu base.

This week, Ju Tianrui was on patrol duty outside. The patrol route was centered around several garrison points outside the base.

From Gan City in the south to the garrison point more than ten kilometers north of Dazhangshu Base.

According to the originally planned route map, they first rushed to the garrison point in the northern part of the Da Zhangshu base.

This day, the sun is shining brightly.

The weather is getting hotter day by day, and it has not rained since the heavy rain and floods ended.

It's a little cooler in the morning, but after 11 noon, the air becomes a bit stuffy.

Entering April.

Seeing that Tomb-Sweeping Day is coming in two days, I don't know if it will rain then.

In addition to Ju Tianrui and others who left the base, there were also many collaborators who dispersed like birds and beasts at eight or nine o'clock.

They all went out to look for building materials, and some of them went out to look for some raw materials based on the latest tasks released in the base.

For example, there is a mission released right now to find some high-power motors and rare earth ores outside.

Originally, Gan City was rich in rare earth minerals, so there were some mines around here.

In the Dazhangshu Base, there is no station in the center of Gan City.

After all, Gan City, as the second largest city in Gan Province, has a relatively large population. In the apocalypse, the number of zombies in the center of Gan City will also be relatively large.

Therefore, Deng Ben and the others were stationed at an unknown town on the highway leading to Xincheng in the north of Gan City.

Deng Ben got up early as usual.

He stood on the top of the tenth floor and looked around with a telescope, focusing on the situation on the highway.

After completing the inspection, he controlled the drone and patrolled in the sky.

After the routine inspection work was completed, Deng Ben started to have breakfast.

A non-staff person who was on duty here with him said: "Brother Deng, tell us what the inner city is like."

Several other people next to Deng Ben also said: "Yes, yes, Brother Deng, we have only been in the outer city, and we don't know what the inner city is like."

Deng Ben smiled and shook his head, and said to them: "Do a good job, you will know it yourself when you go in. There are many things that you can only understand after you go in.

I think back then, like you, I started working as a non-staff member step by step.

It starts from non-staff, then to the outer city, and finally to the inner city. In fact, as long as you work hard, there is hope."

The existence of Deng Ben is a typical example, giving many non-staff and collaborators expectations for the Da Zhangshu Base.

As long as they keep working hard, one day they will no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat.

In the apocalypse, as soon as you open your eyes, you have to solve the problem of eating.

This is a very real problem.

........

The sun rises slowly.

The time came to one o'clock in the afternoon.

At this time, Qianlong and others, who had left Chenzhou, finally saw the sign on the highway. Gan City was ten kilometers ahead.

Qianlong rolled down the window and shouted to Yao Zuo in the car next to him: "Let's find a stop first and then disperse and set off tomorrow?"

Hearing this, Yao Zuo nodded, and then they began to search for a suitable camping spot near Gan City tonight.

According to their original plan, they would first find a station near Gan City today, then divide into three groups early tomorrow morning, and then go out to collect information.

Regardless of whether they discover or capture some local people, they will return to the camp they are looking for tomorrow evening.

Soon, they found a camp nearby.

It is an orchard that produces navel oranges in southern Gansu.

This orchard mainly grows navel oranges, but many of the fruit trees there died in the previous extreme weather.

But at least there is still a small half, but it is not yet the mature season.

These fruit trees are blooming with tiny flowers.

After they entered the orchard, they began to check the condition of the fence.

After the inspection, Wayne said to Qianlong: "Young Master, it's only half past two o'clock, and there's still some time before dark. I'll take people to search outside. I won't go into Gan City, but just walk around.

Let’s see if we can catch some people.”

Qianlong looked at the sky and thought it was okay.

So he nodded and said to Wayne: "Okay, don't miss the time, and be sure to return before dark."

Wayne nodded, then got in the car and drove towards Gan City with dozens of people.

Gan Hu stood beside him eager to try, but he was monitored by Qian Long at all times and could only watch Wayne and the others leave.

After Wayne left the orchard, he opened the sunroof on the roof of the car, sat on the roof of the car, and looked around with a telescope.
