In the apocalypse, while others are struggling on the verge of life and death from hunger, Li Yu and the others are enjoying the evening breeze, eating barbecue and drinking beer among the tall walls and under the big camphor trees...
All of this seemed unbelievable to Xiao Slutty, his aunt, and others.
But everything before my eyes is really happening.
It was like going from hell to heaven all at once.
However, other people outside the base who are struggling on the edge of life and death will never see this scene.
In this base, with the increase in personnel, the defense has also improved a lot.
Even though everyone gathered in the center of the base, the defense of the entire base was still very strict.
Therefore, everyone can relax more when gathering in the base.
The second uncle and fourth uncle at the gate, as well as uncle Lai and Ding Jiu who are constantly patrolling the wall, have greatly increased the security factor of the base.
.......
As the population of the base increases, many things in the base are being carried out simultaneously.
Make plans to solve some of the problems faced and improve overall strength:
The first thing is the issue of food.
This part is the most labor intensive.
Including the cultivation of staple foods such as rice, potatoes, corn, etc.
Secondly, the cultivation of fruits and vegetables requires reclamation and maintenance. In addition to the residential areas, there were also 4 acres of rice, gardens, breeding areas, and some other areas on these dozen acres of flat land. Now with the development and utilization of the land,
Most of them have been used now.
Then there is breeding, including aquatic products. There are many types of fish raised in the lake. Although it does not require much effort, if you do not put in some fish grass or feed, it will be difficult for the fish to grow up. Even if they grow up, they will have headaches.
Big body and small body.
So for the fish in the lake, my grandfather and some children cut some grass every day and put them in the lake.
In addition to aquatic products, there are also chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, pigs, rabbits...
In other words, these two hundred-acre mountain forests are large enough to provide enough space, but the pigs are raised in breeding sheds, basically at the edge of the base.
Cattle and sheep are driven out every day to graze in the mountains and forests.
So far, the grass in the mountains and forests and some pastures at the foot of the mountains have been enough.
The second thing is to improve the strength of base personnel.
This is what Li Yu values most.
After all, in this cruel apocalypse, weakness is the original sin. With such a large base now, if a powerful force appears in the future and comes to rob it, how can it hold it?
So Li Yu formulated some rules and regulations to train everyone in this big family. Even recently, everyone has to go out to kill zombies and practice marksmanship under the protection of his uncle, third uncle, Li Gang and others.
, the shooting ability of the crossbow.
At the same time, the surrounding villages and even the town were searched again.
While training troops, he also continued to collect supplies.
In addition, Li Yu also asked some people in the family over 16 years old, regardless of gender, to take out the firearms in the warehouse and let them use them skillfully.
Including the security guards at the door, they are no longer the third uncle, the second uncle, and the father, but have begun to work together to give the younger people a chance to exercise.
Now the basic configuration is like: uncle, plus 16-year-old Li Zhengping, and 20-year-old Li Haoran.
Ensure that there is a mature and stable control, and there are also young people, so that these young people can exercise.
The third thing is to pay attention to the news around you.
Although Li Yu came back after being reborn, he had some prophetic news, but it was only local.
When Li Yu first broke out in the apocalypse, he was still struggling on the edge of life and death in the first year. He didn't go to too many places, and he thought about how he could survive every day.
After his rebirth, Li Yu realized the importance of the surrounding movements, such as the arrival of the zombie wave. If he knew something in advance, it would not be so difficult to deal with it.
There are also surrounding forces, which ones are big and which are small, which are more humane and which are more extreme. We all need to understand.
But in the end of the world, blocked by zombies, the mobility of personnel is already very poor. In addition, the base is a relatively remote place. Normally, no one else can be seen at all. Therefore, Li Yu rarely knows about other places.
news.
However, Li Yu occasionally went to the county town and communicated with Song Min and others when passing by the suburbs. After all, they were in the county town. Even in the suburbs, there were many survivors from all parties in the county town.
Through Song Min's information, Li Yu knew that there was basically no relatively large powerful group in the county. After destroying Zhou Sheng's two groups, there was basically no big organization now.
The fourth thing is to stabilize the base, build the base, and expand the base.
A hundred acres of mountain forest and a dozen acres of plains seem quite large at first glance.
At present, land use is not very tense. Li Yu is thinking about the pros and cons of expanding the base.
Therefore, the expansion of the base is temporarily put on hold at this stage.
With the increase in personnel at the base, although food is now sufficient, with planting and breeding, the animals born, especially rabbits, give birth very quickly.
However, the base consumes more meat. Although rabbits give birth quickly, they don't eat as fast as everyone else.
In terms of stabilizing the base, after the second uncle came back, he gave some suggestions and suggested increasing the height of the fence. Li Yu has also been thinking about this issue recently and began to search for some building materials around.
But don't be in a hurry, there are many things to do, and everything must be done slowly.
There are some other things.
But it basically revolves around four things: food, team strength, exploring surrounding information, and strengthening the stability of the base.
Everyone twisted into a rope and worked hard together.
Many people who enter the base, especially those who enter later, know very well what kind of world is outside the base in this apocalyptic world, a cannibalistic world, so they cherish this beautiful life in the base even more.
We did not relax our vigilance because of temporary safety and sufficient supplies.
Li Yu also often sets an example, getting up early every day and motivating the younger generation to exercise.
Every time I go out, I always rush to the front;
And he is also constantly practicing to improve his crossbow shooting ability;
.....
When it comes to crossbows, even though there are tens of thousands of arrow feathers purchased at the beginning, they will be used up sooner or later.
So I bought something similar to the "Military Friends of Two Places Handbook", and my grandfather also hunted a lot in that era and had some production experience.
He cut some bamboo and began to try to make some arrow feathers. The process of making arrow feathers was a slow process, but Li Yu seemed to find some interest in the tedious and boring movements.
I took the knife to flatten the wood bit by bit, and polished the arrow feathers into shape bit by bit. I felt a strong sense of accomplishment in my heart.
But the most important thing is that when he was doing these things, the anxiety in his heart seemed to have found an outlet. When he was doing these things, it seemed that the world... became quiet all of a sudden.
My heart has become much more peaceful and my mood has become more joyful.
