After the second uncle finished communicating with Li Yu, he quickly went to the inner city to find Ma Di and asked him about the company's situation.
And asked him to write a list of all the scientific researchers who participated in that project.
"President, the list of the more important personnel in that project is all above." Madi said as he handed the written list to his second uncle.
The second uncle took it over, and there were dozens of names written on it.
After a cursory glance, the second uncle folded the list and put it in his arms.
Ma Di, wearing a white scientific research uniform, hesitated for a moment and then asked:
"President, do you know what these are...?"
The second uncle thought for a while and felt that it was okay to tell him. After all, the zombie attracting potion was developed by him and Bai Jie.
So I told him some things about Southern Paradise that I had talked with Li Yu, and also told him Li Yu's guess.
"An extraterrestrial meteorite? I think it's unlikely. I saw the meteorite being taken away with my own eyes. It shouldn't be in that factory." After hearing what his second uncle said, Ma Di pondered for a while and shook his head.
The second uncle took a deep breath and said: "I understand, I will tell the city lord what you said."
Later.
The second uncle did not go to the duty room outside, but came to the inner city conference room.
There is also a radio station placed here.
Nowadays, in addition to the original five military radio stations, Dong Ying has successively produced four long-wave ultra-long-distance radio stations.
These radio stations can be connected and used together.
There are three units left in the Dazhangshu base, two units left in the north, two units left in the oil city, and Li Yu carries one unit personally.
After arriving at the conference room in the inner city, the second uncle told Li Yu the list he wanted from Ma Di, and also told Li Yu simultaneously what Ma Di had just said to him.
After listening, Li Yu said:
"Well, I have a general understanding, but it's okay. I don't know the situation in Southern Paradise yet. I'll find out when I go there."
Hearing what Li Yu said, the second uncle didn't say much.
.....
The sun sets in the west.
People at the construction site of Oil City are lining up to return to the city.
Although there are a large number of people, the required inspections when entering the city are still strict.
Everyone must be searched to see if they are carrying sharp weapons.
There are more than 2,000 people here in Oil City, and most of them are construction workers. If these people cause trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.
And it’s not like the Da Zhangshu Base where there are inner and outer cities, and there is isolation between the outer cities.
There is only one city and one wall here. Once there are large-scale riots here, it will be difficult to control them.
Therefore, they strictly control the situation at the source and do not allow these people to bring anything that could become a weapon, not even a steel bar.
Cranes, excavators, grouting machines, pile drivers and other equipment placed outside, as well as massive amounts of raw materials transported from various southern parks, are placed on the open ground outside.
Anyway, when night comes, the zombies won’t take it away.
If any survivors saw it, they wouldn't offend Oil City by secretly taking away some inedible food.
Moreover, Oil City uses searchlights to illuminate its surroundings at night, along with drone patrols. Once someone approaches from outside, they can be discovered in time.
Watching the crowds lining up to enter the city, there were some patrol officers holding firearms standing guard around them to maintain order.
Suddenly, Li Yu saw a familiar figure among the patrolmen.
Dai Jiusheng suddenly remembered that he had seen the information filled out by this person. Not only did he come from the army, he was also from the special forces.
Thinking of leaving for Southern Paradise tomorrow, I might as well take him with me.
It's either a mule or a horse. Only when you take him out for a walk will you know his true abilities.
Those who will go to the Southern Paradise tomorrow include Li Tie Cannon and the others, as well as Xiao Jun and those people trained by Wu Jianguo.
Mingsheng, Hefeng, Shuntian and others, except for one Ma Dong who was still recovering from his injuries at the Da Zhangshu base, took the others with him.
"Gangzi, please notify Dai Jiusheng later and ask him to join us in the operation tomorrow." Li Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and said.
Li Gang, who was in the patrol team below, had a headset on his ear. After hearing Li Yu's words, he looked around and saw Li Yu on the roof of a building not far away.
So he opened his mouth and replied, "Okay."
Soon, as the sun set, the last person entered the oil city.
Oil City is already overcrowded.
Tong Rugui, Tu Wentan and others, who had just arrived from the north a few days ago, were staying in a factory building.
Suddenly there was some movement outside.
"It's time to put food on!"
Hearing this voice, everyone immediately ran over in a swarm.
"Everyone is welcome, please line up and don't jump in line." Sister Lan shouted to everyone.
Behind her, Niugao and others were pushing several huge steel barrels.
The dense air above the steel drum smells extremely sweet.
Boom!
Niugao and the others lowered the steel barrels, making a loud noise.
Thorn Lala——
Su Qian pushed a shelf behind the steel barrel.
Then he climbed up the shelf, took an iron spoon about 10 centimeters in diameter from the person next to him, and knocked it twice.
Bang!
“Get in line!”
After waiting for a while, I saw that the team gradually became quiet.
She skillfully scooped it into the steel bucket.
A full pot of corn stubble porridge, a little sticky.
Bah!
Punch it directly into the first person's bowl.
The man's face was full of joy, then he took out a Wahaha eight-treasure porridge jar and went to the steel bucket next to him to make soup.
This soup is very light. It is made by boiling seaweed captured from the north, adding water, and then adding some salt.
There is nothing added to the corn dregs. These corn dregs have been overstocked in the northern warehouse for a long time. Perhaps due to improper storage, they have a slight musty smell.
But once cooked, it is still edible.
Carrying a bowl of corn dregs porridge and some salty seaweed soup in his right hand, this man returned to his place on the floor.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The chopsticks are cut by myself from tree branches.
He was greedy and pious, eating corn dregs porridge in small bites. The corn was sweet and delicious, and he seemed to be enjoying every bite.
Feel the food enter your mouth, slide down your throat, enter your stomach, turn into energy, and feel the warmth of your body.
Let's take another sip of seaweed soup. Although there are only one or two pieces of seaweed in the soup, there is salt.
After all, they are doing high-intensity construction work here, and the sun has been very strong recently. Without enough salt, people will not have the energy to work.
That’s why we specially added the existence of such a soup.
No matter how slowly he ate, after a few minutes, the corn dregs in the bowl still decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Soon, he finished the corn dregs porridge. He stuck out his tongue and licked the corners of the bowl. Then he took the can of seaweed soup in a Wahaha can and drank it in small sips.
In the last days, it is common for people to go without food all day long.
What is the biggest thing in the world, eating is the most important thing.
He is very happy to be able to come here and have two meals every day.
Compared to when they were in the north, under the pressure of the North, they often went hungry in order to collect the protection money they paid to the Northern Federation.
There is no other way. If the protection fee is not paid, the North will send people to come and cause trouble for them.
In order to survive, they had to hand over a huge part of their scant food to the North.
Therefore, when these people came here, they ate the most ordinary corn grits porridge, and although they had to work hard to build during the day, they still felt extremely satisfied and happy.
Even though the people in Oil City are extremely ruthless, they kill everyone at every turn.
But if you are honest and obedient, it still feels good.
At least, there is something to eat!
Tong Rugui sat on a small horse and ate corn dregs. As she ate, she felt extremely sad.
Seeing his brothers surrounding him as if they had not eaten in eight lifetimes, his sad feeling became even more intense.
He was the leader of the regiment, and the brothers followed him and never had a full meal.
well....
This is the end of the dog days.
There was also a burst of sighs from the brothers:
"It's another big bowl full. You won't be able to turn your intestines after eating this!"
"Hey! We came to the oil city at the right time. Finally we don't have to go hungry."
"It's a pity that Sanpao and the others didn't come. They won't be able to enjoy the same blessings as us."
....
Listening to the discussions of the brothers around him, Tong Rugui was filled with emotion.
Yes, actually the brothers’ requirements are not high, they just want to have food every day.
Who the hell wants to fight all day long when they have something to eat? They are all forced.
At this moment, he felt someone tap him on his shoulder.
"Old Tong."
It's Tu Wentan.
When Tong Rugui saw this former rival, she smiled and said:
"What?"
Tu Wentan pointed around and said:
"When this trading market is completed, I plan to stay here. I want to ask if you will stay?"
Tong Rugui asked with wide eyes:
"Stay here? Then you will have no freedom and you will completely become a part of Oil City. Can you go back to the cave?"
"As far as I know, they have four levels here. If you stay then, you will just be a cooperator."
Tu Wentan smiled and said:
"It's not important. I've understood one thing in the past two days. I'm tired. It's too tiring to lead so many brothers to live in this cruel end of the world."
"In this world, after all, the big fish eats the small fish, and the small fish eats the shrimp."
"We little shrimps will always be eaten by others. We can only enjoy the shade with our backs against the big trees."
"Freedom is not that important anymore. Having something to eat is important."
Tong Rugui frowned and asked:
"What about your cave? You don't want such a good location?"
Tu Wentan smiled bitterly and said:
"Do you think that cave is really that good? Natural disasters occurred frequently in the past few years. Even if the crops grown in the cave were not trampled by zombies, they were still affected by natural disasters."
"The output is not much, and a large part of it is used to pay protection fees to the North."
Hearing this, Tong Rugui felt a little bitter in her heart.
The word "protection fee" is like a big mountain weighing on them.
So he thought again and again and said:
"Let me think about it, the trading market has not been completed yet. We will wait until it is completed. Food is supplied here, but after it is built, it will definitely not be given to us again."
"But at least you don't have to pay protection fees anymore, right?" Tu Wentan said slowly, his eyes shining.
"This...is indeed true." Tong Rugui smiled after hearing this.
Tu Wentan put her hands on his shoulders and looked at the people outside who were still queuing up to receive food. She sighed with emotion: "These days are not getting better..."
"Yeah..." Tong Rugui murmured softly.
....
Night falls.
The searchlights on the walls of Oil City shine back and forth.
The drone was flying overhead, making a whining sound.
Li Yu went to bed early.
However, some people were tossing and turning and couldn't sleep at all.
This person is none other than Dai Jiusheng.
In the evening this evening, Li Gang suddenly found him and asked him to join him in a combat mission tomorrow.
He was very pleasantly surprised, because as far as he knew, this kind of external combat mission had the highest points gain after completion.
But after the surprise, he felt a little nervous.
Because he had to go hundreds of kilometers away, his son was still here in Oil City.
Now I am patrolling outside Oil City. My son is in Oil City and can be seen at a glance not far away.
Looking at his sleeping son, he decided to see if he could talk to Dongtai tomorrow and ask him to help find someone to take care of his son.
After thinking about it, he closed his eyes.
The moonlight outside the window is very bright, like a gorgeous moon-white robe spread on the earth.
One night passed.
.....
The next day.
It's just dawn.
Dai Jiusheng was awakened by the sound of a whistle outside. He quickly got up and put on the combat uniform given to him yesterday. He had not received the firearm yet.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After putting it on, he hurriedly took his son and ran out.
When he went out, he saw dozens of people neatly dressed standing in an open space not far away.
He saw Dongtai at a glance, so he quickly took his son and ran to Dongtai and told him about his son.
Dongtai looked at him and frowned, then said: "Okay, hurry up and get in line, the team will set off soon."
"Okay, thank you!" Dai Jiusheng bowed towards Dongtai, then quickly gave instructions to his son, and then ran towards the team.
Xiao Jun saw him coming and said, "Come here and get the gun!"
"Yes!" Dai Jiusheng stood at attention and ran over.
After receiving the automatic rifle from Zhou Tian, as well as a combat backpack with four magazines, grenades... and other equipment, he quickly put on his backpack and came to the back of the team with the gun on his shoulder.
Xiao Jun waited here for a while until he saw that almost everyone had arrived.
So he shouted to the people who were lined up in a square formation and fully armed:
"stand at attention!"
"Everyone has it, count!"
"1"
"2"
.....
Many of these people are the subordinates that Xiao Jun has always brought with him. These people basically came out of the army and went on expeditions in the past few years.
I've seen blood, massacred cities, and fought my way in and out of zombies.
He also once blocked the terrifying zombie wave on the wall.
It has been sharpened to the point of being as sharp as a sword.
Dai Jiusheng, standing at the back, listened to the people in front reporting the numbers.
He held a familiar gun in his hand and wore some unfamiliar yet familiar uniform.
He couldn't help but tighten his grip on the gun slightly, and that muscle memory was instantly restored.
At this moment, he felt an urge to cry.
Still the same taste, still the same feeling.
This feeling is the power of the collective.
Invincible and fearless.
After listening to what Xiao Jun said above, there are some things to note.
"Do you understand everything?"
"Understood!" Dai Jiusheng shouted forcefully.
The veins on his neck were exposed and his eyes were firm.
