Chapter 1011: Going north for reinforcements, Taoist leader goes south
Ji City.
Two Taoist priests wearing tattered cotton-padded robes and black curtain hats were running through the mountains and forests, and it seemed that they were running in the south.
The hat on their head was slightly moved by the wind as they ran. There was a wide brim around the hat, and there was a dense drooping silk net under the brim, which reached to the neck to cover the face.
The short and fat Taoist suddenly shouted to the tall and thin Taoist in front of him: "Wait a minute, I have been running for more than an hour. Let me take a breather."
After saying that, he ignored the reaction of the tall and thin Taoist priest in front of him and walked to a big tree with dense shade and sat down.
The roots of the big tree were protruding, and he happened to sit on the roots of the big tree.
He lifted up the black net on his hat, took a few deep breaths, and then took out a plastic bottle from his waist. This plastic bottle contained water.
It's just that this combination doesn't quite match his outfit.
He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, took a sip and felt it tasted like plastic. He smashed it and said to the tall and thin Taoist priest who came over:
"It would be nice if my gourd hadn't fallen off. The water in this plastic bottle has a strange smell..."
When the tall and thin Taoist priest heard this, he sat down and took out a gourd and poured some water into it before saying:
"The weather is so hot, plastic will be easily burned by the sun, but if you lose your gourd, just throw it away, it won't affect..."
The short and fat Taoist looked at the dense leaves above his head and said, "We have been walking for a day and haven't encountered any survivors. Are you sure you are going south? Let me tell you, we might as well be on Sanqing Mountain.
wait.
If he is still alive, he will definitely come back to the mountains to find us."
The tall and thin Taoist priest looked at a small seedling on the ground not far away. There were two small withered purple flowers on the small seedling.
My eyes lit up, and I walked closer and stretched out my hand to take a closer look at the leaf pattern of this small seedling.
"Ha!" The tall and thin Taoist priest was delighted and pulled out the long sword from his back.
Clang!
The long sword is sharp and reflects colorful light under the scattered sunlight.
He took this sword and carefully dug up the soil, and then dug the soil bit by bit.
After the short and fat Taoist priest finished speaking, he received no reply. When he looked up, he saw the tall and thin Taoist priest digging a hole over there.
So he got up and walked away, saying at the same time: "What are you doing?"
Come closer.
Seeing the small seedling placed next to him by the tall and thin Taoist priest, the short and fat Taoist priest said with some surprise: "Is this... Kudzu root?"
The tall and thin Taoist priest said without looking back: "Yes, come and help dig. These kudzu seedlings have been dried by the sun. Look at the ones in front of you."
The short and fat Taoist priest hurried over to help.
Half an hour later, the two of them sat under the shade of a tree and looked at five or six kudzu roots in front of them, which were as thick as arms and a full meter long.
Pueraria lobata contains a large amount of vitamins, cellulose, starch, protein and other nutrients. It can be used as a staple food and provide a large amount of energy to the human body.
This much kudzu is enough for them to eat for a month.
In the apocalypse, if you know a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine and a little bit about agricultural botany, if you still have some skills, you won't starve to death no matter what you do.
The two cleaned up the kudzu, cleared away the soil on the surface, tied it with a rope and put it behind their backs, and continued running south.
Kudzu root is very durable and can be stored for a long time if stored as it is. If it is ground into powder and then exposed to the sun and dried, it can be stored for a longer period of time.
.......
Gan Province.
The sun is shining brightly.
Six helicopters appeared in the sky.
After Li Yu and the others left Zhongshi, they flew all the way to the Da Zhangshu Base.
They don't have extra fuel, so they can't fly off the straight line.
After flying for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the Da Zhangshu Base.
Many collaborators and non-staff members working on the construction site of the Fourth Outer City looked up at the sky.
"That's it? Don't we only have three helicopters in our base? Why are there three more helicopters?"
"I don't know. Yesterday evening, I saw a helicopter flying back. Could it be a new one found by the base?"
"Could it be an enemy attack?"
Hearing him say this, the people around him looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.
"Didn't you see that the people on the wall didn't do anything? If they were enemy planes, they would have attacked them long ago."
"Yes, so the air power of our Da Zhangshu base has been strengthened again?"
"should be....."
...
While they were discussing, the helicopter slowly landed.
The barbican has long been cleared, leaving enough space for them to park.
Six helicopters flew down one after another and landed steadily on the ground.
Li Hang looked at these six helicopters with excitement. If we add the one heading north to Oil City, there are now seven helicopters in Da Zhangshu Base.
On average, each helicopter can carry 25 people, so seven helicopters can carry 175 people.
It is very convenient to transport troops or supplies by air.
Li Yu and the others walked out of the helicopter.
The second uncle, Li Hang and others gathered around one after another, and Li Hang observed the newly brought helicopters at close range, his eyes flashing, and the smile on his lips never stopped.
"Third brother, Xiaoyu, it seems that this trip went well. It only took one day to find four new helicopters. Now we are facing the northern federation, and we have a lot of confidence!"
Uncle said with a smile.
The third uncle carried the package, and then said to the second uncle: "Second brother, you guys talk, I will go back to the inner city first."
"Yeah, okay."
The third uncle came back and forth, flying three times from yesterday to now. The second uncle thought he was a little tired.
Li Yu looked at his second uncle and said: "I talked with my third uncle last night and I think there are seven helicopters in the base now, and now the Northern Federation doesn't know what they will do to us in the future.
Oil City is quite far from the base, so my third uncle and I both felt it was necessary to get a helicopter and keep it there for a long time. Then it will be more convenient for inspections and other things to be done there."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After hearing this, the second uncle thought about it carefully and said: "What you said makes sense, I have no objection."
Li Yu nodded and said: "Yeah, then let's send a few pilots to send the helicopter there tomorrow, and also stay in Oil City for their use."
"Okay, have you chosen the personnel?" asked the second uncle.
Li Yu remembered that on the way back this time, He Ma and the two people were pretty good.
Then he said: "Yes, He Ma and that Hua Chen."
"In addition, in order to strengthen the power in Oil City, let Zhu Xiao and the others prepare and let them go to Oil City too."
"Okay." The second uncle replied.
...
Since Wengcheng often had collaborators and non-staff personnel coming in and out of the Fourth Outer City, Li Yu asked Lao Luo to get all the helicopters to the Second Outer City.
The maintenance factory in the Second Outer City is very large, covering an area of several acres.
The ceiling is also as high as ten meters, so helicopters are often docked here during natural disasters.
Exposure to wind, sun, and rain all day long will also cause some damage to the helicopter.
After returning to the base, Li Yu communicated with his second uncle about some matters and then returned to the inner city.
As soon as they entered the inner city, they saw Qingyang and Li Yuan walking towards the outer city together.
"Brother."
"City Lord."
Li Yu looked at the two of them and waved his hand in response.
With Qingyang's help, grandpa's body has been well maintained.
Moreover, because they often go in and out of the inner city, Li Yu's parents gradually became familiar with Qingyang, especially Li's mother, who became more and more fond of Qingyang.
Li Yu returned to the inner city villa area, still a little wet all over.
Just after getting off the helicopter, they asked Lao Bi and others to spray with water guns. After all, Li Yu and others came back from a place with many nuclear-radiated zombies.
After taking off the radiation protection suit he had worn for two days, Li Yu walked under the shower head to rinse his body.
After taking a shower, I felt much lighter.
Holding the water glass, he slowly walked to the basement and chose a movie to watch.
.......
The solar radiation outside was still strong. The collaborators and non-staff personnel in the Fourth Outer City were surprised when they saw the helicopter in the sky, and then returned to normal construction work.
Time is like water, and it’s night in a blink of an eye.
The collaborators who worked hard all day returned to the greenhouse in the First Outer City.
When Dai Jiusheng saw his son running towards him, there was a softness in his eyes.
Holding his son's hand, Dai Jiusheng walked to Luo Gui's group next door and said to Damei:
"Sister Mei, I'm bothering you again today. Help me take care of my son. This is my little kindness. Please accept it."
As he said that, he gave half of the food he got today to Da Mei.
Da Mei refused repeatedly: "No, no, I'm just taking a rest. Xiao Mang is also very cute, I like it very much."
Dai Jiusheng repeatedly handed her the grain, but Da Mei refused again.
"We are all old partners and have accumulated some experience. On the contrary, you two father and son have just joined. You should keep it. In addition, save your points for food exchange first and don't use them..."
Da Mei taught Dai Jiusheng how to accumulate points.
Dai Jiusheng looked at this unremarkable-looking woman, and a warm current surged through his heart.
How long has it been since I felt the kindness of others?
Too long, too long.
He listened attentively, raising his head to glance at Da Mei from time to time.
Luo Gui, who was sitting in the tent, took a steel basin and received some water from the residential area of the first outer city, and was sitting there drinking water.
The water in the residential area has been filtered by a water purifier, so you can drink it without boiling it.
"Brother Gui, do you think there is something wrong with the two of them?" A team member next to him came over sneakily and said.
After Luo Gui took a sip of water, he glanced at Dai Jiusheng and Da Mei who were chatting not far away.
He opened his mouth and said: "This Dai Jiusheng is a good person and capable. I guess Da Mei has taken a liking to him."
"Then why don't we just bring him into our team?" the team member suggested.
Luo Gui frowned, and after thinking about it carefully, he said:
"Our team's points will soon be enough to be promoted to non-staff personnel. If he joins us, he has just joined the Da Zhangshu Base and his personal points should not be too much.
If this is the case, our team’s points will be pulled down.”
The team member also thought about this problem, but he still said:
"Brother, I heard that Dai Jiusheng came from the army and must be very skilled. If he can join, it will definitely greatly improve the strength of our entire team."
Luo Gui felt that what he said made sense, but after all, letting Dai Jiusheng join would lower their average points. For the sake of unity within the group, he had to use a more appropriate method to get everyone to accept it.
...........
Oil City.
In the conference room.
Ju Tianrui looked at Xiao Jun, Li Tie and others present and said:
"Tomorrow should be the time for Southern Paradise to come over to trade. I just received news from the headquarters that the city lord and the others have found a few more helicopters in Guangdong Province. They plan to ask Zhu Xiao and the others to come over tomorrow to reinforce us."
Xiao Jun heard this and said with a smile: "Good news, when will they arrive tomorrow?"
"It is estimated to be at two o'clock in the afternoon. In addition, the Secretary of the Interior said that when you go to the Southern Paradise at that time, remind them to pay attention to the Northern Federation in the north." Ju Tianrui said.
Li Tie frowned and said, "So, do the headquarters think that the Northern Federation will send people over again?"
Cannon slammed the table and said: "If they dare to come again, we will let them come back without any return. We will kill as many as they come!"
Li Tie quickly said: "The Northern Federation is very powerful, we cannot underestimate each other. I am thinking, why don't we take the initiative to attack?"
Ju Tianrui said hesitantly: "The distance is so far, and the Northern Federation is so strong, it is difficult for the logistics force to keep up. Traveling so far is not worth the gain."
Cannon said a little arrogantly: "If you ask me, just put the zombie attracting potion in there and have it all in one pot."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "This thing cannot be used easily. Once used, if the Northern Federation does not completely collapse, it will have a life-and-death relationship with us. Until that point, I think
Just don’t use it like that!
Moreover, there are not many survivors alive now. The Northern Federation only sent people over to investigate the situation and did not take action against us.
If we directly use the most powerful weapons, many people will definitely die," Ju Tianrui said.
"Then what does the headquarters mean?" Cannon asked a little depressed.
"Let's wait first," Ju Tianrui said.
Everyone was a little confused.
But they didn't know that the solar radiation would pass soon, and a blizzard would usher in.
As Li Yu and the others knew, the Northern Federation already had six helicopters. There were certain risks in releasing zombie attractants.
He wanted to see the attitude of the Northern Federation. According to the information he had learned so far, the situation inside the Northern Federation was quite complicated.
If that Yuan Zhi is really as reasonable as Liu Weimeng and the others said, and if cooperation can be facilitated, then everyone will naturally be happy.
But if the Northern Federation wants to come and plunder, then Li Yu will naturally not be polite to them.
.....
After leaving the Oil City, Da Dao and others, who were subordinate to Governor Yuan Zhi, headed south.
At this time, we have arrived at Xing County in the north of Dazhangshu Base.
It is less than 80 kilometers away from Da Zhangshu Base.
There were only a few of them, only two cars and seven people.
Park the vehicle in an abandoned auto repair shop.
Dadao, Vincent and others were hiding in a room on the third floor of the auto repair shop.
In the darkness, a voice sounded.
"We should be able to get to the Da Zhangshu base tomorrow. I reiterate again, don't be discovered by the people at the Da Zhangshu base.
Liu Weimeng and his gang have been arrested by people in Oil City, so the people at Da Zhangshu Base must know about the existence of the Northern Federation.
If we are also discovered, we will end up with the same fate as Liu Weimeng and others.
Let alone not going back, the mission cannot be completed!"
The words just fell.
Vincent said: "Brother, why don't we go back? That oil city is like a turtle shell and it's impossible to get in, let alone the big camphor tree base behind it. Even if we go there, we can't detect anything, right?
?
In fact, it might even be easy to be discovered. We also saw it that day. They have helicopters. If they find us, it will be difficult for us to run away."
Dadao was a little hesitant when he heard what Vincent said.
But in the end I don’t know why but I still had a firm attitude.
"We don't want to get too close, just observe from a distance. They are here. Even if we can't find any information, at least we have to confirm one thing, where is this big camphor tree base."
Vincent heard what his elder brother said. If he just found the location of the camphor tree base, the difficulty of the task would suddenly be reduced a lot.
To be honest, he always had a bad feeling in his heart when he saw Liu Weimeng and the others being arrested a few days ago.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help cursing secretly in his heart: Liu Weimeng and his gang really fail to accomplish anything and fail more than they do!
Being treated like this by Liu Weimeng and the others, they are now somewhat passive.
But so far, thankfully, they have not been discovered.
