"He's out, what do you think? Guangdong Province is so dangerous, and you want him to run there with a commando?"
"The commandos always need to get some exercise. There is no point in always practicing near the headquarters base. Besides, Tiezi himself has his own ideas."
When the second uncle heard what Li Yu said, he shook his head and said nothing.
Li Yu stood on the wall of the duty room in the outer city, quietly watching the transport fleets coming and going in the buffer city, and the workers on the construction site were building.
This combat mission was proposed by Li Tie on his own initiative. When Li Yu heard that he wanted to go by land, his first reaction was also to refuse.
When you can take a helicopter, why drive there? Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it’s also dangerous.
This trip takes at least several days, and you have to stay outside overnight.
Spending the night outside in the dark of the apocalypse is extremely dangerous.
Especially the place I want to go to is Guangdong Province, where there are not only wall-climbing zombies, but also more terrifying nuclear-radiated zombies.
But when Li Tie explained to him that he would take this opportunity to conduct special training for the commandos, Li Yusi agreed to him after a long time.
It has not rained for more than a month, and the weather is dry.
Fortunately, there are mountain pond reservoirs and wells in and around the city that can maintain water supply needs.
The construction water in the buffer city mainly relies on the lake under the cliff on the east side of the inner and outer city. During thunderstorms and natural disasters, a large amount of water is accumulated in the lake.

Oil City.
In the trading market.
Xiao Jun helped count the massive materials transported yesterday and sealed them in the warehouse.
The trading market is divided into five areas. The southern area is the transportation warehouse area, which stores a large number of items handed in and out by survivors, most of which are weapons.
Since a large number of survivors come in and out every day to hand in and retrieve their belongings, a pipeline was built directly from the southern district to the Wengcheng.
The pipeline is similar to the assembly line transportation equipment before the apocalypse. After the inspectors label the survivors' belongings, they will place their belongings in the pipeline.
When the pipelines are moved, they will automatically be pushed to the transportation warehouse area in the south district and stored in categories according to different serial numbers.
The same goes for retrieval. The personnel in the warehouse area see what items are needed through the backend, then take them out and put them on the transportation equipment, so that the items can be sent there without manpower.
Very convenient.
The most valuable materials at Southern Paradise are some medicines and some machinery and equipment, and a large part of these medicines and equipment have to be transported back to the headquarters base.
Lao Luo looked at the piles of supplies, turned his head and said to Xiao Jun:
"Has the second transport team from Southern Paradise set off?"
Xiao Jun nodded and said: "I just received the news and have already set off. However, we still have to send some trucks to help with transportation, otherwise they will not be able to complete the transportation with their remaining vehicles."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements later."
Lao Luo thought for a while and then said: "The arrival of these people from Southern Paradise has greatly increased the food pressure. It is estimated that we won't be able to wait until next month, and we have to ask the headquarters base to transport food."
"Um."
Xiao Jun pondered for a few seconds and said:
"Luo Chu, you have to find someone to take care of the people coming from the Southern Paradise. Ma Yingxue and I will take this batch of supplies and oil back to the headquarters base in two days. I can't stay here long.
.”
"I still need to be responsible for the Fifth Operations Brigade..."
"Okay, I will find someone to take charge here. Do you have any recommendations for those people within Southern Paradise?" Lao Luo asked.
Then he added, "At least you know more about Southern Paradise than I do."
Hearing Lao Luo's question, a person immediately appeared in Xiao Jun's mind.
Chen Er.
Since the cooperation between Oil City and Southern Paradise was confirmed, Chen Er came to contact most of the time. People in Oil City are also the most familiar with Chen Er.
Chen Er is also familiar with Oil City and has a high degree of recognition for it.
"Chen Er, Director Luo, I personally think Chen Er is the most suitable, number one..."
Xiao Jun recommended Chen Er and told Lao Luo the reasons for his recommendation.
Chen Er has been staying at the trading market for the past six months. Although Lao Luo came here not long ago, he has still interacted with Chen Er several times.
Lao Luo murmured: "Chen Er?"
Remembering this person, he nodded and said: "Well, I am relatively familiar with him in the whole Southern Paradise, so let him manage the people in Southern Paradise for the time being. When Ju Tianrui arrives later, he will train the militia team.
, let’s break up the teams again.”
...
While Xiao Jun and Lao Luo were in the South District warehouse, Lao Huang in the business district was taking Xiaoye and others to conduct research and visits.
It had just been his third day at the trading market, and he had not issued a single new policy order. He had spent the past three days getting familiar with the situation at the trading market.
He believes that without investigation, there is no right to speak.
Without an in-depth understanding of the trading market, blindly issuing orders is not much different from giving blind orders.
"Old Huang, this business district is so lively. It was not like this the last time we came to the trading market. What a big change!" Xiaoye looked around curiously from behind, looking at the sales in the entire trading market.
something.
Lao Huang frowned, and from time to time he picked up a small book and wrote and drew in it to record.
"Let's go to the next store."
"What are you calculating?" Xiaoye asked curiously.
"Transaction volume and foot traffic..."
"What's the use?"
"That must be useful..."
........

northwest.
Jiayu City.
A scream came from the family building of the combatants.
"It hurts, it hurts. Don't scratch my ears. If you scratch my ears again, I'll get angry with you!" He Qiang struggled to break away from his wife's hand.
Rubbing his red ears, he glared at his wife.
"I've already told you, it would be great if your man came back, why are you nagging me so much!?"
A middle-aged woman put her hands on her hips, holding a clothes hanger in her hand, and looked at He Qiang with eyes as wide as bells.
"I don't care, you can't go out anymore anyway."
He Qiang said helplessly: "I can't help it. If the boss orders me to go out to perform tasks again, I have to go even if I don't. If you have the ability, you can tell the boss."
Hearing the word boss, the woman quickly calmed down.
She sat in the corner with a clothes hanger, staring blankly.
This was the first time He Qiang saw his wife so calm.
He was a little afraid that his wife would do something again, but his wife's unusual behavior today made him even more worried.
So he walked over, squatted down, and asked gently: "What's wrong with you?"
The middle-aged woman raised her head, her eyes red.
"Do you know how I came here half a month after you left? What would I do if you died?"
"I don't want you to go out again..."
Hearing these words from his wife, He Qiang's heart seemed to be pricked.
He didn't say anything, he just held his wife in his arms to comfort her.
The boss's residence.
Yin Jipeng hurriedly walked in, "Boss, please look for me."
"I asked you to prepare a group of investigators before. How are the preparations going?" The boss turned his back to Yin Jipeng and looked at a painting hanging on the wall.
"Ready and ready to go at any time." Yin Jipeng lowered his head and said.
The boss's eyes suddenly turned cold when he looked at the painting.
"Split into two groups, one group will go to the north, and the other group will go to the so-called oil city to understand the difference between the two places."
When Yin Jipeng heard this, he hesitated and asked:
"But, is it still necessary to go to the North and Oil City? According to what He Qiang and Yuan Zhi said before, the North and Oil City cannot be entered freely, and even if we send people there, they can't enter.
Being able to observe from the outside, you may not be able to see much from the outside.”
Yuan Zhi and others knew about the existence of Oil City before and sent Tian Yunxiao and Wu Jianguo to Oil City. At that time, there was no trading market in Oil City.
But their news was too late. After Yuan Zhi fled to the northwest, he told the boss all the limited information he had about Oil City.
People in the northwest are now aware of the existence of Oil City, but their current understanding of Oil City is what it was nine months ago.
The boss slowly turned around, "Who said I had to enter their city when I sent them there?"
"The main purpose of letting them pass is to keep an eye on them and see clearly their personnel dispatch movements."
"in addition...."
The boss paused for two seconds and continued:
"Send a squadron to the West City to make arrangements first. If you find anyone from the North there, or if there is any disturbance, report it immediately."
Yin Jipeng also heard what He Qiang said yesterday and knew that the gang in the north had invited the boss to negotiate with the West City.
But there are still twelve days left before the negotiation time, so bringing people there so early...
"Boss, are you really planning to go there in person?"
The boss didn't answer his question, "Go down and arrange it."
"Yes." With doubts in his heart, Yin Jipeng handed over his hands and left the boss's residence.
After Yin Jipeng left, the boss picked up the two smooth walnuts placed on the table.
Putting it in the palm of his hand, he squinted his eyes slightly and didn't know what he was thinking.
.........
.........
On the G6011 highway.
Li Tie looked at the cannon helplessly and asked:
"What are you doing here on our commando team's mission..."
Just over an hour ago, when Li Tie and others drove an armored vehicle a few kilometers away from the Da Zhangshu base, a vehicle caught up behind them.
Cannon sat in the patrol car and caught up with Li Tie's team going south. Without saying a word, he carried the package and boarded the armored vehicle.
Cannon cut his fingernails with scissors and replied without raising his head:
"Why don't you welcome me? It's too boring to stay in the base, and there are no interrogation tasks. Why don't I come out with you to do a task?"
"Brother, does he know you are coming out?"
"I know, I must report it to Brother Yu. Look at what you said, Xiao Tiezi, I'm here to help you."
Cannon blew off the nails that fell on his combat uniform and said with some displeasure:
"I'm here to help you. You still have objections. If a dog bites Lu Dongbin, you don't have a good heart."
"Okay, okay, stop it, thank you for coming to help me, that's it." Li Tie saw Cannon's appearance and didn't bother to argue with him.
"That's pretty much it. Now we've passed the fifth satellite city." Cannon raised his head and looked outside the armored vehicle.
"We just passed by. The G6011 highway in front of us was bombed by us before. We need to find another way." Li Tie picked up the map and opened it.
"Where's the Beltway?" Cannon asked.
Li Tie rolled his eyes, "They were also blown up by us. The overpass was also blown down by us. We can't get through. Take this village road."
As he spoke, Li Tie pointed to an extremely small line on the map.
"You decide, I'll come over and join in the fun." Da Pao looked indifferent.
Li Tie didn't say much. He walked to the front cockpit with the map and glanced at the road ahead through the bulletproof glass.
Then he lowered his head and looked at Ocarina, who was controlling the drone in the co-pilot, "There is a village road three kilometers ahead after getting off the highway. You can use the drone to fly there and see if you can get there first."
"Yes, Captain." Ocarina nodded, immediately raised the drone to a higher altitude and flew forward.
After the drone is raised high, it can see farther.
On the wide highway, except for the empty road in the middle, there are densely packed broken down vehicles on both sides.
The windows of these vehicles were broken, their bodies were rusty, and some even had tires missing.
"Captain, are you talking about this road?" Ocarina controlled the drone to hover at a higher position and asked.
After careful inspection, Li Tie nodded and said, "Yes."
After saying that, he shouted towards the back: "Chen Dingtian, come here."
Chen Dingtian, who was sitting in the car, heard Li Tie's voice and quickly unfastened his seat belt and took him over.
"Captain, you call me."
Li Tie handed him the map in his hand, "You and Ocarina work together to find the way."
"Today's goal is to arrive in Shao City before five o'clock in the evening and find a safe shelter!"
"Okay, captain." Chen Dingtian took the map and began to study it carefully.
It is definitely not possible to reach Guangshi today. According to their plan, they can go from Gan Province to Guangdong Province in a few days, and arrive in Guangshi from Shao City tomorrow.
After Li Tie handed over the matter of exploring the path to Chen Dingtian, he returned to the cockpit and sat next to the cannon.
The vehicle got off the G6011 highway and drove a few hundred meters on the national highway when a narrow village road appeared on the left.
The village road is made of cement, but the road surface is relatively narrow and can barely accommodate the passage of heavy trucks.
In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the village road was one meter higher than both sides, you wouldn't even know it was a village road.
The village roads were overgrown with weeds. Over the years, heavy rains and natural disasters caused dust to fly freely, and the sediment was left on the roads along with the floods. Over time, the village roads became covered with various plants.
But they are all low grass and trees, not the thick trees.
The armored vehicle rolled over and left two green marks on the village road.
They have arrived outside the suburbs of Gan City.
Continue driving for one kilometer.
Many self-built houses slowly appeared in front of them, mostly two or three-story houses.
Most of these self-built houses are made of red bricks and appear in twos and threes on both sides of the road.
Some houses with courtyard walls have collapsed, and various green plants grow in the ruins.
And those houses that are still standing strong,
The red brick walls are covered with vines, and even the roof is covered with weeds.
