Xiao Jun looked at the buffer city wall with some regret. There were still some construction workers building on the wall.
The workers looked at the convoy curiously.
Although he had heard from Lao Luo and the others that construction of the headquarters base had begun to reach the national highway, he was quite surprised at the time.
Because in his impression, the national highway is still some distance from the Da Zhangshu base.
Unexpectedly, the entire Da Zhangshu base now covers such a large area.
The inner city of Dazhangshu Base covers hundreds of acres, and the four outer cities add up to more than a thousand acres, but the entire buffer city covers an area of 20,000 acres.
This buffer city covers a large area and includes many surrounding villages.
At a rough glance, the buffer city's wall is more than ten meters long, which is much shorter than the Oil City Trading Market.
Ma Yingxue looked at the buffer city wall curiously through the window, and asked Xiao Jun doubtfully:
"Is this Da Zhangshu Base? Why is the height of the fence so much lower than that of Oil City?"
The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
The height of a base's walls can sometimes be used to judge the base's strength.
The higher the wall, the stronger the ability to block zombies, and it is not easy to build a tall wall.
When Ma Yingxue had the first impression, she was naturally a little disappointed when she saw that the wall of the Da Zhangshu headquarters base was not even as high as the trading market.
"It's the Da Zhangshu base, but it's the outermost area. When I left here, these walls hadn't been built yet." Xiao Jun replied.
"Yeah." Ma Yingxue nodded thoughtfully.
She had heard Xiao Jun mention the Dazhangshu Base before, but what Xiao Jun mentioned was that the Dazhangshu Base was only divided into an inner city and an outer city.
"Is this the outer city? It seems to be quite large..."
They sat in the car and drove forward for a long time, but they could still see the wall.
Xiao Jun shook his head and looked at the car window next to Ma Yingxue.
"This is not the outer city, this is the outer city...the buffer city, covering an area of 20,000 acres."
"What??"
Ma Yingxue was immediately confused.
"How... much... how much?"
"Twenty thousand acres." Xiao Jun said again.
Ma Yingxue stuttered a little, she was completely shocked by the size, "This... this, this, this, this is ten times bigger than the trading market! It is twenty or thirty times bigger than the Southern Paradise!"
giant.
To delineate such a large area and then build a wall more than ten meters high, the amount of work is terrifying!
To be honest, Xiao Jun was also a little surprised.
After all, twenty thousand acres is not a small number. It is said that the construction of this buffer city started before the thunderstorm disaster.
The shock in Ma Yingxue's heart was reflected on her face.
At the same time, I also feel a little complicated. How long did it take to build such a large area...
And this is still the third layer of walls, behind which there will be two walls, the outer city and the inner city.
Looking forward to it more and more.
I thought to myself: There is no so-called inner and outer city in Southern Paradise, only a wall.
This large camphor tree base actually has three walls and three doors.
It's truly extraordinary.
.......
The entrance to the buffer city gate.
Yu Lei's eyes lit up when he saw Huang Zheng.
"Huang Zheng, your boy is back too."
Although Yu Lei is just a non-staff member, he is senior and joined the Zhangshu Base earlier than Xiao Jun and others.
Moreover, most of the team leaders at the base, whether they were personnel from the inner or outer city or even non-staff personnel, knew Yu Lei.
In addition, Yu Lei is a good person and has good popularity, so many people from outside the city have a good relationship with him in the Da Zhangshu base.
In addition, although Zhao Kui and Cui Wen are only non-staff personnel, three of them, including Yu Lei, have shed blood for the base, and they are disabled.
The senior officials of Dazhangshu Base will protect such people intentionally or unintentionally.
"Lao Yu, does your leg still hurt?" Huang Zheng waved and asked with a smile.
"Just like that, it still hurts when it rains."
"I won't stop talking to you anymore, let's talk back."
"Okay, hurry up."
Yu Lei smiled and watched Huang Zheng drive into the buffer city in an armored vehicle.
Huang Zheng and Yu Lei chatted for a few words and never stopped the car, but the speed was relatively slow.
After all, he is the first car in the queue. If he stops, the other teams behind him will have to stop as well.
Xiao Jun can stop, but he can't.
Watching the trucks and oil tankers driving into the buffer city, the smile on Yu Lei's face never stopped.
He regarded the Da Zhangshu Base as his home, and moving the oil on these trucks to his home gave him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and happiness.
In the motorcade, from time to time someone would open the car window and call him "Laoyu."
Sometimes, when you reach a certain level of qualifications, it is also an advantage.
soon.
Half of the convoy entered the buffer city, and the armored vehicle Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue were riding entered the buffer city at this moment.
Ma Yingxue's first impression after entering the buffer city was... big!
As the convoy returned, a road had been cleared in advance for them to enter and exit.
Ma Yingxue saw hundreds of neatly lined up electric trucks to the east. These electric trucks were all modified from ordinary trucks and looked a little different in appearance.
"Is that a truck? Why do you think it looks a bit bloated?" Ma Yingxue looked at these trucks. The chassis of the trucks seemed to be higher, but she felt strange about it.
"Electric trucks are a specialty of the headquarters base. The headquarters base has a relatively high degree of electrification." Xiao Jun explained that he knew about the existence of zombie generators.
After the zombie generator was developed a few years ago, the development direction of the Da Zhangshu Base has been towards the development of electricity, replacing various products that can be replaced by electricity with electricity.
For example, vehicles switch from fuel-driven to electric-driven, from charcoal heating to using electricity to turn on the heating and cooling....
"The little electric donkey that the city lord and the others sent last time was also produced at the headquarters base, right?" Ma Yingxue asked.
"right."
Ma Yingxue still doesn't know about the existence of the zombie generator. This matter is kept highly confidential in the Da Zhangshu Base.
Xiao Jun couldn't tell Ma Yingxue about this, so she doesn't know about it until now.
Although telling Ma Yingxue would definitely be of great benefit to Southern Paradise, he couldn't say it.
The Da Zhangshu Base’s ability to maintain its leadership in development lies in these developed equipment.
Energy is one step ahead and affects everything.
If Southern Paradise also rectifies the zombie generator, then Southern Paradise's dependence on Oil City for oil will inevitably decrease, and Oil City's influence on Southern Paradise will also inevitably decrease.
At the same time, there will be fewer transactions with Southern Paradise, and you cannot use oil to exchange for medicines, sugar, and other items with Southern Paradise.
It was already evening.
Dang Dang Dang——
A crisp bell rang.
This was to remind the construction workers of the buffer city to get off work, and it would be almost dark in half an hour.
The buffer city construction site is very large, and it will take some time for the cooperators to return to their residences after work.
Ma Yingxue lay on the car window, curiously looking at the buffer city at the base of Da Zhangshu. There were not large tracts of woods in the buffer city, but it was not completely bare either.
In order to ensure the view of the Da Zhangshu base, they cut down most of the trees, leaving only a few scattered trees as decorations.
In the future, when the buffer city is completely built, some fruit trees will be planted.
It can be used as a landscape tree, or it can grow fruits for food.
But with the uncertainty of natural disasters, a storm blew away the buds and branches that grew in spring.
The fruit trees planted over the years have not produced many fruits.
The fruit production in the base mainly relies on cultivation in greenhouses.
Six cement roads, three horizontal and three vertical, were built in the buffer city. However, due to the crushing of heavy trucks transporting raw materials and the falling of some gravel and sand, there was some sand on the road and the tires were a little slippery.
Therefore, they dare not drive too fast.
This also gave Ma Yingxue, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, time to watch carefully.
Looking along the way, there was nothing surprising about the buffer city, but the construction equipment here was more complete than she had imagined.
In a trance, it felt like I had returned to those construction sites before the end of the world.
The workers who came down from the fence on the roadside were walking and looking at the convoy curiously.
"Is this a convoy coming back from Oil City?"
"It should be. You see, the tanker must be filled with oil. Oil City has not transported oil for several months."
"There were thunderstorms and natural disasters in the past few months, so there was nothing we could do to send them away."
.......
There are also several mountains in the buffer city, after the convoy made a roundabout way.
What comes into view is the towering outer city wall.
When Ma Yingxue saw the 56-meter-high outer city wall, her eyes were full of shock.
It’s a bit ridiculous that it’s so high!
In fact, the walls of the inner and outer cities have been being increased and reinforced, and they have never stopped.
However, the height is not increased uniformly, but is increased and reinforced in sections, and is strengthened bit by bit.
Looking at the towering wall not far away, Ma Yingxue asked:
"Is this the outer city?"
"Yes." Xiao Jun smiled and nodded.
It's been too long since I left the headquarters base, and I don't know what changes there will be.
However, his residence in the outer city has been moved to the inner city.
The outer city wall was heavily guarded. Ma Yingxue could see a searchlight and ultraviolet light at regular intervals, and patrols walking back and forth on it.
Moreover, there are guards on duty with guns on the high raised sentry tower.
There are even cameras installed on it.
The most eye-catching thing is the three neat lines on the wall.
"What are those three lines? Are they for decoration?" Ma Yingxue asked with some confusion.
Xiao Jun took a look, shook his head and replied with a smile:
"It's not a decoration, it's a three-layer moving knife. When each layer is opened, the knife will move quickly."
"Third floor! Oh my gosh, turning them all on consumes electricity." Ma Yingxue covered her mouth and marveled at the wealth of Da Zhangshu Base.
She had seen the mobile knife in the trading market and the oil city before, and had seen its effectiveness in killing zombies during heavy rains.
Southern Paradise also made a castrated version before, but because the electricity could not support it, it could only rely on manual operation and did not consume electricity. It was a bit useless.
"But why does this mobile gate knife look different from the one at the trading market?"
"That one is the simple version, and the one here at the headquarters base is the enhanced version."
"Oh." Ma Yingxue nodded.
Soon they arrived outside the gate of the outer city.
Rumble——
The outer city gate opened with a bang.
The armored vehicle team slowly drove in, and Zheng Lang drove the armored vehicle into the first outer city of Wengcheng.
The first outer city, the Wengcheng, has also been enlarged a lot. Due to the large-scale construction in recent years and the increase in the number of people, there are also a lot more vehicles.
Originally, the area of the Wengcheng was a bit narrow and could not accommodate more than a hundred vehicles at the same time.
So the wall was re-widened and built, and now the barbican city has reached five times its original size.
As soon as Zheng Lang came in, he saw A Guang in front of him raising his hand to signal him to follow him.
Xiao Jun and others are driving back a large convoy, so they must be parked neatly.
When Zheng Lang saw A Guang's gesture, he had an inexplicable feeling that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Familiar taste and familiar gestures.
He followed A Guang's gesture and followed A Guang to the edge of the first urn city.
In addition to A Guang, there are more than a dozen people who guide the vehicles, responsible for making these vehicles park at the corresponding locations.
After Xiao Jun's car came in, Ma Yingxue looked at Wengcheng and said, "Is this Wengcheng?"
"Yeah, but this is just one of the Wengcheng in the headquarters base. There are four other Wengcheng like this in the Da Zhangshu Base."
"Oh my God! Four!" Ma Yingxue's eyes widened. This place is really... heavily guarded.
Xiao Jun felt a little proud when he saw her expression.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He likes to see Ma Yingxue's shocked expression because he is also a member of the Da Zhangshu Base. He has also worked hard to make the Da Zhangshu Base what it is today.
So he said softly:
"Of course there are four outer cities. There are four outer cities. I haven't been to the fourth outer city, and I don't know what it looks like, but it seems to be the largest one."
"I heard that the scenery in the Fourth Outer City is good, and a Taoist temple was built in the Fourth Outer City. I will take you to see it in two days."
"There are still Taoist temples? Does your city lord believe in Taoism?" Ma Yingxue was surprised and a little confused.
"Forehead...."
Xiao Jun thought about it carefully and felt that the city lord seemed to be because of that Qingyang...
"I don't know, but I've never seen him worship before."
"Uh-huh."
The Wengcheng area of Dazhangshu Base is quite large and the throughput is sufficient.
It allows Xiao Jun and others to park all their vehicles in Wengcheng at one time.
In Wengcheng, in addition to A Guang and a dozen other people guiding the vehicles, there were dozens of people watching them from the side.
Standing at the front of these people are Song Min and Li Yuan. 3,000 tons of oil are to be stored in the warehouse. This matter is quite important for the Da Zhangshu Base.
When all the vehicles were parked, Xiao Jun took Ma Yingxue out of the car.
The inspection and handover work officially started.
Xiao Jun brought Ma Yingxue to Song Min and Li Yuan.
"Director Song."
"Director Li, this is our manual for statistics on this batch of materials before departure. Please take a look at it."
As expected, Xiao Jun saw Qingyang following Li Yuan.
He had felt that Li Yuan and this Qingyang had something to do with each other a long time ago, and now it seems that the relationship between man and woman has been officially confirmed.
Li Yuan took the manual from him, nodded, and then said to Ding Weiwei next to him: "Bring the computer over and weigh the people one by one on the weighing scale."
"Okay." Ding Weiwei nodded and trotted away.
Li Yuan raised his head. His originally round face turned into a melon-shaped face as he grew older, and his body gained a hint of maturity.
"Captain Xiao, is this my sister-in-law?" Li Yuan joked with a smile.
Song Min looked at Ma Yingxue and said, "Xiao Jun, you can still find such a wife, you are so lucky."
Faced with the banter between the two, Xiao Jun was a little embarrassed and pulled Ma Yingxue over:
"Ahem, my wife, Ma Yingxue."
"Xiaoxue, Director Li Yuanli is in charge of the logistics department of this Da Zhangshu base."
Then he pointed at Song Min who looked like a strong woman and said:
"This is Supervisor Song Minsong, the supervisor from the outer city."
Ma Yingxue was a little surprised. The logistics of a base was extremely important, but she didn't expect a woman to be in charge of it all.
Moreover, there are four outer cities in the Da Zhangshu Base, and the authority as the supervisor of the four outer cities is also very large.
It can be said that these two positions belong to high-level levels.
She didn't expect that under such a powerful force as the Da Zhangshu Base, a woman could achieve such a high position.
"Hello, Ma Yingxue." Ma Yingxue spoke very simply and concisely. She was wearing a combat uniform, had short hair, and exuded a capable aura.
Before getting together with Xiao Jun, she was a strong woman in Southern Paradise.
After being together with Xiao Jun, I became much more tenderhearted.
People of the same kind will cherish each other heart to heart.
Song Min felt from Ma Yingxue's dress and speaking style that she was the same type of person as herself.
It is easier to communicate with similar people.
"Nice to meet you. We can communicate more in the future." A faint smile appeared on Song Min's face.
"Haha, me too."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "We are all in the inner city anyway. I will take you to see a movie then. A romantic movie will be shown in the theater in two days. Let's go and watch it together."
"The corn harvest has been bumper recently, so you can use your points to exchange for some popcorn and sparkling water."
"Okay." Ma Yingxue's eyes lit up. She hadn't seen a movie in five or six years.
As for popcorn and sparkling water, she almost forgot what they tasted like.
What’s special is that the Da Zhangshu Base actually has a cinema! There are also snacks like those before the apocalypse.
It’s too luxurious!
Li Yuan didn't know that his inadvertent invitation was just an ordinary thing.
But it stirred up waves in Ma Yingxue's heart.
Being able to go to the theater to watch a movie in the apocalypse and eat popcorn and ice-cold sparkling water,
Are the people in the inner city of Da Zhangshu Base so happy!?
She was happy, not just because of the kindness the two of them had shown towards her.
More importantly, she felt they could become friends,
Everyone has a magnetic field. Some people are easily bored when they meet, but some people feel very comfortable when they meet.
Recalling that she was in the Southern Paradise, it was difficult for her to meet someone who suited her taste.
In fact, there are some women, but they mostly exist as vassals of men, often to satisfy men's physiological needs.
The existence of a strong woman like her seems a little out of place in the Southern Paradise.
As for the Da Zhangshu base, she felt an indescribable freedom, tolerance, and friendliness as soon as she entered.
