Because Jia City is located in the west, the time zone is different from that in the east.
It was already past eight o'clock in the evening, but the sky was still bright.
Although the sun is setting in the west, there is still at least an hour before dark.
It’s midsummer, and if it’s going to get completely dark here, it will have to be almost ten o’clock in the evening.
After the boss left the medical hospital, he returned to his residence with a calm expression.
With You Long and Mr. Xu following behind, it was difficult to guess what the boss was thinking at this time.
You Long simply couldn't imagine that Mr. Xu was at least close to the big boss. He had followed the big boss for many years and knew him somewhat.
He probably knew that what really made the bosses interested in Oil City was not Qinglong or the oil in Oil City. After all, they already had a large oil field in their hands.
What really interests the boss may be the fact that Oil City can control zombies.
As for the big boss asking Yuan Zhi to lead the way to the north, I'm afraid it wasn't just for the purpose of leading the way.
After all, the boss also knew that Yuan Zhi was not the only one who came out with Yuan Zhi, but there were also two more of Yuan Zhi's men.
But why must Yuan Zhi go there in person to lead the way...
I'm afraid the boss's idea is not that simple.
The boss's words just now revealed that Oil City should not be underestimated, but is the boss really afraid of the forces in Oil City?
not necessarily.
To be able to occupy a place like the northwest in the apocalypse, the boss's methods are indeed very strong.
The layout of the big boss moisturizes things silently.
It wasn't until the ending came out that he could taste one or two of them.
After returning to his residence, the boss put on his slippers and went upstairs, turned around and saw You Long still following him.
"Youlong, please go down. It's hard to come back from the thunderstorm and natural disaster. It's hard for you. You don't have to go on missions recently, so have a good rest."
"Yes, boss, I'm going down then." You Long replied quickly.
"Um."
The boss just changed his shoes and seemed to remember something.
"I remember Yuan Zhi came with two of his men, right?"
"Yes."
"It's nice to entertain them. If you try to win over them more, you'll become one of your own when you come here."
You Long nodded, but he still couldn't understand.
But he just knows how to do it.
"Understood."
After You Long left, the boss sat on the sofa and continued to read the half-read book.
After looking at it for an hour, he suddenly raised his head.
A glimmer of light flashed in his deep eyes.
"Oil City? City Lord Li, Qinglong? Control the zombies...heh."
.....
.....
Northern Territory.
Unlike the northwest, it gets completely dark here after seven o'clock.
In the dark night, purple-blue lights flashed on the northern wall.
Shan Zheng was standing on the wall, staring blankly at the plains to the south of the northern border.
"Brother, is this UV lamp useful?" Chang Wei looked at the installed UV lamp and asked with some doubts.
Shan Zheng still looked at the dark night and lonely plain in the distance, giving people a feeling of emptiness and desolation.
"What Minister Li said should be useful to cheer everyone up. Whether it is useful or not will be known later when the wall-climbing zombies appear."
"oh."
Time flows slowly.
There are a group of zombies gathering under the northern wall, but there are less than a thousand zombies, so there is nothing to be afraid of.
Suddenly, a sharp roar came from under the wall.
Shan Zheng quickly looked to the right and saw a thin and thin shadow jumping down from the wall in a hurry.
He jumped to the ground and disappeared into the night in a few seconds.
"Is that a wall-climbing zombie?"
Sun Wei walked over excitedly next to him. He had just seen it very clearly.
"That's the wall-climbing zombie. I saw it. Brother, the ultraviolet light is really useful!"
"Great, this way we can still have a good sleep. I feel like my whole body is shaking now, I'm so sleepy." Chang Wei looked excited.
Shan Zheng raised the corners of his mouth. The ultraviolet light was indeed useful.
This news quickly spread to other people's ears. When they learned that the UV lamp given by Uncle San and the others was useful, everyone was extremely excited.
"Oil City is really amazing. It thought of a way to restrain these wall-climbing zombies so quickly."
"Yeah, now I'm not afraid of those zombies."
"Sigh... Do you think these zombies will mutate into other more difficult zombies?"
"Crow Zui, stop talking."
.......
After the Eagle of the Eagle Gang saw that the ultraviolet light was useful, he immediately told his subordinates.
"Old Fatty, you take some brothers back to our original station tomorrow and bring all the things that can be used in the station to the north."
The old man asked in surprise: "Ah, are we not going to leave the North anymore?"
Eagle then briefly told him the content of the meeting with Minister Li in the inner city in the afternoon.
When Lao Fei heard that he would be able to become a member of the Northern Outer City in the future, he was not very happy.
Because when Yuan Zhi was in charge of the Northern Territory, he did not provide benefits to any people from outside the city at all.
Only a few of these refugees are occasionally selected to do some tasks. These people from outer cities are essentially refugees who come in to seek asylum.
The North will not give them any food, nor will they care about their fights in the outer city.
When Yuan Zhi was in charge of the northern border, he basically did not manage the outer city.
"After we enter the northern border, as people from the outer city, we need to build greenhouses and plant crops, and they will give us food..."
"What? Boss, can you still provide us with food? Is it a continuous supply? Or is it just for a while?" The old man asked in surprise, with doubt in his tone.
"From what Minister Li said, it should continue to be given to us, but in the future we will probably focus on planting crops in the outer city."
"But...we can't..."
"Minister Li said he would send someone over to teach us."
"That's a good relationship, boss. This feels like a good opportunity. The people in Oil City are so powerful and so generous... Let's hang out with them. It feels very promising."
The eagle raised its head and looked at the stars in the sky, feeling filled with emotion.
The premise of this sentence is that the big tree is willing to block the sun for you.
If the big tree is not willing to block you from the sun, there is no use leaning against the big tree.
Just like the Northern Territory under the original control of Yuan Zhi, when dealing with these subordinate forces, they have always relied on force to suppress them, extract benefits from them, and never considered them.
Although the people in Oil City have a really rough and brutal style of doing things, if they take a fancy to you, you will be treated well.
.......
The night is lonely.
Big camphor tree base.
In the inner city conference room.
Lao Luo, Lao Bi, second uncle, and Li Yu gathered together.
Both Lao Luo and Lao Bi were successfully promoted to inner city personnel last time. They are eligible to enter and exit the inner city freely, and they were also assigned a separate suite in the inner city.
However, since Lao Luo and Lao Bi often work in the outer city, they basically stay in the outer city during the day and only come back at night.
Lao Luo and Lao Bi arrived at the Da Zhangshu base in the evening.
After getting off the helicopter, we entered the inner city and reported the findings of this trip to the city lord.
On the black walnut wood table, two maps of the country are spread out.
There are red circles marked on it.
Some red circles have a small five-pointed star mark next to them.
"City Lord, the farthest place we have reached along the way is Wufeng Mountain in the north of An City. The force in An City is slightly larger. There should be thousands of people we saw alone, but their weapons and equipment are somewhat ordinary. They hold guns.
Less than one-tenth."
"As for the others, they are all small forces, ranging from hundreds of people to dozens of people."
Li Yu looked at the location marked by the five-pointed star on the map pointed by Lao Luo, which was Anshi, the ancient capital of the Thirteenth Dynasty.
Thousands of people? One-tenth of the gun ownership rate is only about a hundred people.
This strength is not very strong.
According to Qingyuan, the force in the northwest at least has the strength to compete with the Great Zhangshu Base.
Even stronger than the Da Zhangshu base.
Otherwise there is no need to raise it separately.
Li Yu frowned and looked at the distribution of forces marked on the map on the flight to Laobi, Ning Province.
They used small pieces of paper to write down the approximate positions and strengths of these forces.
"City Lord, this is the picture we took of these forces with our mobile phone. Take a look." Lao Luo took out his mobile phone and handed it to Li Yu.
Li Yu swiped the photos on his phone left and right. Looking at the photos on his phone, he could see that these forces were very ordinary.
There is even a photo in which a force is a motorcade.
While filming, the convoy happened to stop and raised its head to look at the helicopter in the sky.
call--
Li Yu felt a little headache after seeing it, and put his phone on the table. These forces were very ordinary, and it looked like they would pose a great threat to the Zhangshu Base.
The second uncle picked up his cell phone and watched it carefully, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Xiaoyu, I don't think you can look at the surface. It may look ordinary, but maybe they have something similar to a zombie attracting potion. It's not impossible."
After hearing this, Li Yu thought about it carefully and felt that what his second uncle said made sense.
But in this way, it is impossible to determine which force is the potential enemy.
This is just the result of Lao Luo and Lao Bi's investigation.
If we make more trips, we will definitely discover more forces.
With so many forces scattered in various places, how can we investigate them?
They don't have that much power to spread out, so let's get to know them one by one.
What's more, the visit of strangers in the last days will definitely arouse their vigilance.
It is also very possible to do it directly.
"It's okay. This is actually similar to finding a needle in a haystack. It's also meaningful to be able to understand the distribution of forces in other places. We also have a good idea."
"Lao Luo, Lao Bi, you are lucky to have had a hard time on this trip. Let's rest for two days and continue our journey. Just follow your previous plan." Li Yu said to the two of them.
Lao Luo and Lao Bi had been flying helicopters for a long distance. They were physically exhausted and mentally haggard.
"Then City Lord, President, let's go first." Lao Luo and Lao Bi stood up.
"Well, let's go have a rest." The second uncle stood up and saw them out of the conference room.
When the two of them walked out of the conference room, the second uncle sat back next to Li Yu.
"Your third uncle has arrived in the northern border today. There have been heavy casualties in the northern border. Now there are only more than 2,000 people left."
"A mighty gang broke into the inner city and was killed on the spot. No other forces participated. According to our original discussion, those affiliated with the Northern Territory will become personnel from the Northern Territory's outer city. They all agreed."
"Um."
Li Yu continued: "Let Lao Yi and the others hurry up and take the convoy from the oil city to the north as soon as possible."
"According to the plan, we will go tomorrow morning," the third uncle replied.
Now the Da Zhangshu Base is producing ultraviolet lamps very efficiently, almost all of them are produced and some are reserved for Oil City and the North Territory, while the rest are distributed to partners.
To build the Da Zhangshu base, various raw materials are needed, and some raw materials need to be found.
This makes it inevitable for these collaborators to spend the night outside.
There is a limestone open-pit mine about fifty kilometers south of the Da Zhangshu Base.
More than twenty new energy trucks formed an inner and outer circle, with the large circle surrounding the small circle.
A total of thirty ultraviolet lamps are placed on these new energy trucks.
These people were Yu Wei, Luo Shichang and others who came out of Dazhangshu Base to search for limestone mines.
Limestone is one of the necessary raw materials for making cement.
The Da Zhangshu base requires a huge amount of cement, and naturally there is also a huge demand for limestone.
In order to have a stable supply of limestone, a long-term station needs to be established at the mine.
In the past, there would be buildings left behind in those mines, and they could use those buildings as shelters.
However, in this area of open-pit limestone ore, only some iron sheds were built as workers' residences, and the iron sheds were blown to pieces.
Even if it is not blown away, it cannot serve as a shelter.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is too fragile and cannot stop the impact of the zombie swarm.
Although this ore is large, it is completely sufficient to meet Zhangshu Base’s demand for limestone.
But it's a little remote.
There are many twists and turns, and some roads have suffered landslides due to thunderstorms and natural disasters, so we have no choice but to take a small path.
But after arriving here, I realized that this place is too remote and there are no residential buildings around.
Generally speaking, the mines they mine will be mined and transported during the day, and at night they will go to the nearest satellite city to avoid zombies.
After all, things like ore are basically useless to survivors, let alone zombies.
But on the way here, many of the roads that could have been taken are no longer possible due to the impact of thunderstorms and natural disasters.
It took a long time to arrive.
The nearest fifth satellite city is also more than ten kilometers away.
Although it's a bit far, it's still possible to get there.
However, the fifth satellite city has not yet fully resumed operations. There is insufficient ultraviolet light, and the headquarters base has not yet sent cooperation personnel and non-staff personnel to station there.
The night sky is silent.
Whoosh!
A man picked up a stone and threw it into the night.
I couldn't help but say: "This place is too remote, there is no shelter around, and there is no sense of security at all."
Yu Wei sat on the roof of the car and listened to his men's complaints, and said with a smile:
"What's the point? Didn't we always come here like this when we went out on missions? We're used to the comfort of the base, right?"
In the past, when they went out to perform tasks and went to the wild, if they had not found a suitable shelter before dark, they would use the vehicles they drove to form a circle and form a simple wall made of vehicles to block the zombies.
"Brother Yu, there were no wall-climbing zombies or zombies with amazing jumping power before. Now it feels more and more unsafe to stay in the wild." The man scratched his head and said.
"Haha, don't worry, we are not UV lamps, we are so scared..."
Before he finished speaking, he remembered the roar of a zombie in the distance.
Roar!
Whoosh!
Yu Wei stood up immediately.
Looking at the direction where the zombies roared, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
With a stern look on his face, he shouted to Master Luo on the roof of the car on the right:
