Sima Xi didn't believe a word of Sima Dong's promise.
But he had no choice. Now he only had Mu Yang, and there was no one else he could use.
Sima Dong thought for a while and asked: "Brother, is that oil city really that evil? So many zombies suddenly appeared?"
Sima Xi nodded and said:
"Yes, at least a hundred thousand level zombies. Those people in Oil City are hateful. They should have known for a long time that zombies were coming. They blew up all four doors in advance, and secretly used cannons to blow up the walls.
There is a big hole, otherwise we would not be defeated so easily."
Sima Dong's eyes flickered, thinking about various possibilities.
Although Oil City is shrouded in fog, it is difficult to see its true strength.
However, he had absolute reasons and confidence. The people in the oil city would definitely not dare to come to the Northern Federation to cause trouble.
If you come here, you are seeking death.
Sometimes he had to admit that the power under Yuan Zhi's hands was very powerful, so powerful that he was a little envious.
The Northern Federation is like an iron barrel. Even if the people from the oil city come, they will never come back.
Besides, he was still thinking about one thing.
Sima Xi went to the Oil City and after testing it himself, he considered whether to form an alliance with Yuan Zhi to capture the Oil City together and then divide the harvest.
After all, many of Sima Xi's weapons and supplies were left in Oil City.
But he was not sure whether Yuan Zhi was willing to form an alliance with him.
While thinking about it, Sima Xi stood up, walked to the window sill and looked at the lights outside. His face burned by the sun's radiation looked extremely hideous.
After getting the helicopter he wanted from Sima Xi, he also saw that Sima Xi didn't want to continue chatting with him.
So Sima Dong said: "Then you can rest here, I won't disturb you anymore."
Sima Xi turned around, glanced at Sima Dong with complicated eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."
Sima Dong walked out and closed the door behind him.
After Sima Dong left the room, Sima Xi's body seemed to become weak for an instant, and she sat down on the ground with her head buried between her legs.
“Oil City!”
"Kakaka!"
He gritted his teeth and said these three words.
The people in this place made everything he owned disappear overnight.
He hated it and wished he could take people back immediately.
But he has nothing now.
....
Governor's Palace.
Yuan Zhi was sitting at the top, with Ma and Song standing behind him.
Sitting on the left and right sides of the table in front were Fan Haiyang, Yin Xi, Yuan Youzhi, helicopter brigade captain Han Li, artillery brigade Liu Wei and others.
These people sitting here are basically Yuan Zhi's confidants.
"I called everyone here, mainly because I have some things to discuss with everyone."
Yuan Zhi knocked on the table and said softly.
Then he looked at Fan Haiyang, "Haiyang, tell everyone about what you discovered after going to Oil City."
Fan Haiyang was a little embarrassed. This time he ran to Oil City and left in despair.
But he couldn't directly say that he ran away before arriving in Oil City.
So he optimized the process and said:
"After we arrived near Oil City, four helicopters flew up from Oil City to intercept us. We were outnumbered, not to mention in their territory. We had no choice but to leave."
"Four helicopters? What are their configurations?" Han Li asked with a frown.
Fan Haiyang looked a little embarrassed. How did he know what the configuration was? It was so far away and he couldn't see anything clearly!
So he had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The situation was critical at the time and I didn't see it clearly, but they should be equipped with rockets."
When Han Li heard this, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
This firepower configuration is not weak.
Yuan Zhi glanced at Fan Haiyang and said:
"So, what Sima Xi said is true? Can those people in Oil City really control zombies?"
Fan Haiyang suddenly became much more cautious when it came to this issue.
He leaned forward and said seriously: "I'm not sure about this. What I can confirm is that Sima Xi did come back with only the helicopter left."
"When I arrived in Oil City, the people there were already under control."
Yuan Zhi knocked on the table, looked at everyone and said:
"Everyone, what do you think about this?"
Yin Xi was the first to speak: "Let me tell you what I think first."
"I am in charge of the security of our Northern Federation, so when I heard about this incident, the first thing I considered was the safety of our base."
"Suppose those people in Oil City can use zombies to siege us."
Everyone held their breath when they heard the hypothesis he said.
If they could really control zombies, what a fool they were.
"If they really had that ability, that oil city would definitely not just stick to that area. They might as well end the apocalypse."
"Controlling zombies, then we are still having fun."
"The location of Oil City was already densely populated before the apocalypse, so it is normal for there to be more zombies."
"During the day, there were so many people running over to Sima Xi, and the noise was so loud, and it was said that the wall was blown up. Zombies would definitely run over at night."
"We all know that Sima Xi is a loser. He was able to seduce the people in Oil City. That's just because he is stupid. It does not mean how powerful Oil City is."
Yin Xi couldn't get in the conversation at all, and only when Han Li paused did he say: "I didn't mean that, I was assuming. Do you know if you know?"
"Your hypothesis is a fantasy and does not hold water." Han Li mocked.
Just at this time.
Boom!
Yuan Zhi placed the tea cup heavily on the mahogany table.
"Han Li, don't interrupt Yin Xi. Let him finish what he said. Talk one by one. Isn't it interesting to argue?"
Han Li sighed, closed his mouth and stopped interrupting.
"Yin Xi, continue talking." Yuan Zhi said.
Yin Xi paused, reorganized his thoughts, and continued:
"Again, I am assuming that everything is for the sake of the security of our northern federation."
After stating this prerequisite, he continued:
"If the people in Oil City can really control zombies, then they will definitely send an army to look for trouble. After all, Sima Xi led people there to attack them."
"If they come, without rain, they will not be able to break through our walls just by relying on zombies."
"However, from what happened to Sima Xi and the others, we must pay attention to one thing. If they use heavy artillery to bombard our wall and there is a hole in the wall and zombies rush in, we will be in trouble."
"So, I suggest that we strengthen the defense system of our Northern Federation and double the number of outposts outside our Northern Federation! If we find people from their Oil City coming, we can immediately send helicopters to bomb them!"
"In addition, those of us stationed in the city can also communicate and provide artillery support from a distance."
"I'm done."
Yuan Zhi nodded, then looked at the next person next to him and asked:
"Liu Wei, tell me what you think."
Liu Wei, the captain of the artillery team, stood up with a serious expression.
He said to everyone: "Based on Sima Xi's description of the size of the hole opened by the bombing in the middle of the night and the strength of the wall, I think it's the people in Oil City who are using heavy artillery!"
"The firing distance of the heavy artillery reaches thirty to forty kilometers, and it is extremely powerful. The coverage radius reaches fifty meters, and the core damage radius is five meters."
"If they use heavy artillery bombardment, our wall will only be able to withstand it a few times, and it will be blown open in five minutes at most!"
"I have no opinion. This is just based on my inference and I would like to share it with everyone."
After saying that, he sat down.
After he finished speaking, everyone on the table looked extremely ugly.
I haven’t even thought about this yet, it’s already obvious.
How many outposts would need to be established with a radius of thirty or forty kilometers?
Chao Yuan, who was in charge of the outpost outside the city, said:
"For a post with a radius of forty kilometers, even if I calculate one post every ten kilometers on average, if we want to cover it, we will need at least dozens of posts. Our number of posts will not be doubled, but tripled!"
The management of outposts is very complicated, and the dozen or so outposts alone are already giving him a headache.
Yin Xi opened his mouth and said: "For the security of the base, no matter how many outposts we have, we should establish them."
Chaoyuan frowned and said: "Managing and coordinating dozens of outposts, communicating with them and dealing with emergencies, you have to know how difficult the operation is!"
"Instead of adding so many outposts, it is better to let Han Li and the others go out to patrol more. Anyway, high-altitude patrols have a wide field of vision, and it is easy to find traces of the enemy."
Hearing that Chaoyuan put the responsibility on his side, Han Li quickly said:
"Helicopters consume a lot of fuel. If we go out for high-intensity patrols every day, the fuel in our base will not be enough for us to burn. We are not like Oil City, which has a continuous supply of fuel!"
Yuan Zhi had a sullen face, said nothing, and allowed them to argue over there.
Chaoyuan, Han Li, and Yin Xi have been arguing over there. They are just talking about their own difficulties and trying to shift the responsibility to others.
Just when Yuan Zhi's face became increasingly ugly, Yuan Youzhi suddenly stood up and shouted: "Stop arguing."
He looked at the Governor.
Chaoyuan and others stopped and looked in the direction of Yuan Youzhi towards the governor.
At this time, they also noticed that the governor's face looked a little ugly, so they all shut up.
Yuan Zhi took a deep breath, looked at them and said, "Continue."
"Keep arguing!"
"What we are talking about is how to deal with the Oil City incident!"
"What's the use of you arguing over there?"
"Ma Song, tell me what you think."
Hearing Yuan Zhi call his name, a man standing behind Yuan Zhi complained in his heart.
I would have known earlier that I would not have given Yuan Zhi any advice, but after a few suggestions, Yuan Zhi would have regarded him as his own adviser.
He coughed twice and walked out from behind Yuan Zhi.
He bowed his hands to everyone.
He opened his mouth and said:
"We are all from the Northern Federation. We all suffer when we are prosperous and when we suffer losses."
"At present, whether Oil City can control zombies or not, this matter cannot be determined."
"I think we need to be prepared on both sides."
"First, send people over to investigate the situation in Oil City again and try to figure out whether that Oil City can control zombies. But be careful not to get too close."
"Second, to improve our own security, we must increase the number of outposts, but we may not need so many. We can increase them slowly. After all, increasing the number of outposts is not a bad thing for us.
In addition, I suggest that we should stop any refugees from entering our northern federation now, otherwise it will be troublesome if people from Oil City sneak in."
After saying that, he bowed his hands to everyone and stepped back behind Yuan Zhi.
Fan Haiyang felt a little blushing. He went over there and only saw that Oil City had been reoccupied by them. He didn't understand anything else.
Face flushed.
At this time, Han Li stood up and said: "Governor, I think we can fly there, but Captain Fan and the others couldn't figure it out in the past, so I don't think I have much confidence."
"If they have anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, it would be too risky for us to get too close."
"And they have four helicopters themselves, and probably more."
Yuan Zhi tapped the table with a thoughtful look on his face.
What Han Li said makes sense.
Every helicopter in his hand was precious. If he flew over to investigate the situation, he would lose everything. Just like Sima Xi, all the supplies and equipment were left in the oil city, which made the people in the oil city cheaper.
After pondering for a long time, he said: "Well, let me think about sending a helicopter over."
"But the addition of outposts must be done, and it must be done as soon as possible."
"Even if people from Oil City don't come, I still feel that for a base as big as ours, only a dozen outposts are not enough!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Chaoyuan, I will give you a week to increase the number of outposts to 50!"
Chaoyuan was so frightened by this number that he stood up. On average, there must be at least two people in each outpost, which is one hundred people.
In addition, people need to be sent to each post every day to check on the registration status.
It’s very troublesome, boss!
Moreover, the people who were sent out to guard the outpost were actually not very happy.
After all, who would want to run out and stay in the outpost when they can stay safely within the wall.
The risk is high and there are no more subsidies, so most people are not willing to do it.
Unless some people are recruited again.
So he stood up and said: "Governor, I have no objection to what you said."
"But I need enough people, and I don't have enough people right now."
Yuan Zhi frowned and asked, "How much do you want?"
"eighty!"
"Okay." Yuan Zhi agreed to him without saying a word.
After Chaoyuan heard Yuan Zhi's agreement, he continued to put forward conditions:
"I need to increase food rations for 100 people, at least 30 more walkie-talkies, and 10 more vehicles..."
Before he could finish his words, Yuan Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will say hello to you at the logistics office, but my only request to you is that you must set up the outpost as soon as possible.
There is no room for error in this matter, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Chao Yuan nodded, and the original unhappiness in his heart disappeared.
As long as he gives enough benefits, he can solve any difficulty no matter how difficult it is.
Yuan Zhi suddenly remembered something and said to Han Li:
"The fuel problem you just mentioned is indeed true.
But daily patrols also need to be done, and the patrol range is 50 kilometers. In addition, you can reduce the frequency of flights to one helicopter per day and patrol for two hours."
"Okay." Han Li nodded, not daring to refuse.
