Chapter 1673 The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish.
On a dark cloud-covered day, three cars were speeding on the G4 highway.
Followed by dozens of wall-climbing zombies, and in the farmland on the left,
The weeds were swaying, and dense crowds of ordinary zombies were walking towards the vehicle.
Da da da da da——
Chen Delong and the others tried to drive on the right side. In order to avoid being hit by these ordinary zombies, they could only shoot.
Light machine guns resounded in this gray world.
Ordinary zombies fell down like waves of wheat blown by the wind.
Boom, boom, boom!
At the critical moment, they knocked through the group of ordinary zombies and rushed out.
The bumper on the front section of the vehicle still has zombie limbs hanging in the air, rising and falling with the vibration of the vehicle.
call--
Chen Delong glanced at the rearview mirror and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the two cars behind him were following him.
They have passed the most dangerous moment. Fortunately, they reacted in time and evacuated immediately. Otherwise, they would be surrounded by zombies and they would be in trouble.
"quiet."
"quiet!"
Chen Delong shouted towards the back: "Video, give me the video you captured."
An Sheng quickly handed over the camera, and Chen Delong took it, opened the storage and looked through the video he had just captured.
The video clearly captures wall-climbing zombies.
clatter!
Chen Delong turned off the big camera and said to Anshen:
"Contact Oil City and tell them they found wall-climbing zombies."
"Okay." Ansheng nodded, then opened the box and turned on the radio.
.......
Oil City.
In the communications room, communications officer Chen Siyu received a message from Chen Delong.
After Chen Siyu heard the news about Chen Delong, his pupils shrank slightly and his eyes were full of shock.
The zombies climbing the wall came out during the day!
He immediately replied: "Where are you now? When will you return to Oil City?"
An Sheng quickly replied: "About 40 minutes."
"Okay, please pay attention to your safety." Chen Siyu put down the headset.
The communications officer next to him looked at each other, both of them looking a little panicked.
Chen Siyu stood up and said to another communication staff:
"Xiao Meng, you stay here, I will go to Director Luo to report this matter."
"Okay, Brother Chen."
Chen Siyu hurriedly ran out of the communication room. As soon as he came out, a cold wind blew.
He tightened his clothes and ran to the office.
I hurried to the office, which was right next to the conference room.
In the past, the conference room and office were combined into one, but later meetings often disturbed other people's work, so a room was specially designated as an office.
In the office, Lao Luo, Ju Tianrui, Zhong Chuchu, Li Zhengping, Liu Jinglue and others all work here.
At this time, both Lao Luo and Ju Tianrui were in the office.
Correspondent Chen Siyu knocked on the door, and Lao Luo's voice came from inside.
"Enter."
Chen Siyu trotted over and said, "Director Luo, we just received news from Chen Delong, the captain of the seventh militia team. When they went to investigate, they found wall-climbing zombies and are now on their way back."
He finished the key news in one breath.
The basic ethics of a correspondent is to keep the message concise and focus only on the key points.
After listening to this, Lao Luo looked at Ju Tianrui across from him.
They stood up together in tacit understanding and walked towards the minister's office next to them.
After this situation is confirmed, the emergency plan they formulated last night will be launched.
Before, it was only Sun Dali's verbal narration, but he did not solidify the matter, and many actions could not be carried out.
Now that we have sent someone over to verify and confirm, we must move forward.
Uncle San's office is right next to it, and they will arrive soon.
Tuk Tuk——
The third uncle's office was open, and he raised his head when he heard the sound.
"What's wrong?" asked the third uncle.
Lao Luo walked in and said:
"The verification team sent out in the morning encountered wall-climbing zombies. They are now on their way back."
After hearing this, the third uncle thought for a moment and said:
"Then start the emergency plan and contact the Da Zhangshu Headquarters Base and the North Territory simultaneously to ask them to pay attention."
"good."
After Lao Luo left, Ju Tianrui came over and continued to ask:
"Minister, I think we should send out a notice about this news to inform the survivors and ask them to be careful when searching for supplies and bring ultraviolet lights."
In fact, this matter can't be hidden for long, and they don't have to hide it.
If these survivors want to gain points, they must complete tasks.
Once the ice disaster comes, Oil City will not give them free points to buy food for those who do not have points.
The intensive construction of various projects nowadays is actually a form of work-for-relief.
It also gives them an opportunity to accumulate points.
From the construction of the commercial district in the trading market, the construction of residential buildings, the heightening and strengthening of the trading market wall, to the construction of the water plant, the construction of the boiler heating system, and the construction of the buffer city wall.
Since the last thunderstorm disaster, the construction of the trading market has not stopped.
And more and more people are being recruited.
For some survivors who have worked from scratch until now, as long as they don't spend carelessly, they should have accumulated a lot of points.
Six months and 180 days, based on the average daily minimum of 0.5 points, deducting the points consumed for purchasing other daily necessities, they had at least 80 points in their hands.
For 80 points, you can buy 320 tortillas.
able to support them for a long time.
However, not everyone has this sense of worry.
Informing everyone about the appearance of wall-climbing zombies during the day will definitely make some transport personnel give up the idea of going out for transportation.
But if Oil City doesn't force them, it doesn't matter if they don't go, it's just no points.
As for those who are still willing to take the risk, Oil City will naturally increase the points awarded to them.
The greater the risk, the greater the benefit.
This is all their own choice.
The third uncle turned the pen in his hand and said:
"Okay, you can use the radio to announce this announcement."
"In addition, emergency plans should be implemented as soon as possible."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Yes." Ju Tianrui nodded, turned and left.
After the two left, the third uncle got up from his seat, walked to the door and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
The cold wind rustled and the flags fluttered.
"A blizzard...is coming."
The drought has lasted for a long time, and water vapor is evaporating from the ground.
This water vapor floated into the sky to form clouds, and they watched the clouds thicken little by little.
This was the first time that Uncle San saw such low clouds.
The clouds hang low, like the ruthless hand of fate, ready to deliver the final blow.
The sky seemed to be plundered by giant hands, and the clouds were so low that they seemed to be within reach.
The dark clouds were like thick curtains, covering the sky, leaving a gray sky under the sky.
The air was filled with the smell of dust and burning, and there was a depressing heaviness in every breath.
The clouds seemed to be sinking continuously, getting closer and closer to the world, so close that it seemed that the next moment, they would fall on top of the head and destroy everything.
This fear of the sky collapsing and the earth falling cast a shadow over everyone's heart.
........
Beep——
The broadcasts scattered throughout the trading market suddenly rang with a harsh sound of electricity.
Then Ju Tianrui's voice came out from the speaker.
"Broadcast an emergency announcement."
"As the clouds continue to thicken, causing the sun's ultraviolet rays to be weakened by the clouds, there have been two examples of wall-climbing zombies appearing during the day. It is very likely that wall-climbing zombies will appear during the day."
"So, I would like to remind all the teams that go out of the city to perform tasks, they must be careful when going out of the city to perform tasks, and be sure to bring ultraviolet lamps."
"Because the risk of going out to perform missions has increased, the corresponding redemption points will also increase. For the specific increase, please pay attention to the notification in the mission hall..."
"In addition, the team that has not yet purchased an ultraviolet lamp can purchase an ultraviolet lamp at the No. 12 store in the commercial area of the trading market. The price of ultraviolet lamps is currently greatly reduced. The original price required 7 points, but now you can purchase one with only 4 points.
UV light…”
The third uncle stood at the door of the office, looked at the loudspeaker not far away, smiled and shook his head.
You just announced the announcement, why did you even put up an advertisement while you were talking about it?
The current Da Zhangshu base has realized the assembly line production of ultraviolet lamps, reducing costs through large-scale production.
The core component of the ultraviolet lamp is the lamp tube, and the raw material of the lamp tube is quartz glass.
Quartz glass is made by melting various pure natural quartz.
Once quartz ore is found, mined, and melted, large-scale production of quartz glass can be achieved.
After so many years of development, the industrial production capacity of today's Da Zhangshu headquarters base is different from that of the past, and its industrial production exceeds that of Oil City by far.
.......
Ju Tianrui's words were spread through loudspeakers to the Oil City, the trading market, and even the buffer city wall construction site outside the trading market.
Trade fair parking lot.
Several teams who were about to drive out for transportation were suddenly shocked.
A man with a scar on his head stood beside the car and shouted to a middle-aged man opposite:
"Damn it, Lao Song, there are zombies running out and climbing the walls during the day, are you still going out?"
Lao Song was silent for a long time, then got into the car and pulled out the car keys.
"We won't go out. Encountering wall-climbing zombies can be fatal. Our team won't go out."
The scarred man said with an unhappy face:
"No, you guys aren't going out right now? Didn't we agree that our two teams will work together? It's a good idea to have a contract spirit!"
Lao Song retorted:
"You've all heard it, wall-climbing zombies, bald heads! I don't want to take risks anyway. I've earned enough points."
After speaking, he waved to the brothers behind him.
"Let's go, we won't go to work today."
After Lao Song left, the bald man with a scar looked gloomy.
I got acquainted with Lao Song two months ago, and we happened to meet him on the transportation road.
After finishing work, I returned to the residential building and found that I was still on the same floor.
Just two doors away.
Since they both lived on the same floor, they gradually became familiar with each other over time, and then started cooperation.
And every time they go on a mission, they will leave some people in the trading market.
The two teams have a larger number of people, and it is safer to go out to do tasks.
However, Lao Song and the others entered the trading market earlier than themselves, and they had more points than them.
While the bald man was thinking, a team member behind him asked:
"Boss, are we still going out? There are zombies climbing on the wall during the day, why don't we forget it?"
"no!"
Bald Scar retorted without hesitation:
"The few points we have on hand will last us how long!"
"I have some gossip. There may be another natural disaster in the near future. The outbreak of natural disaster is related to the clouds in the sky. If we don't hurry up and accumulate some points, what will we eat and drink when the natural disaster hits?"
"Then, shall we go out?" the subordinate asked.
"no."
When the eldest brother said no again, his subordinates were immediately confused.
It’s impossible to go out, and it’s impossible not to go out. What do you want, brother? Is it going to heaven?
The bald man squinted his eyes and said while thinking:
"Xiaolong, go to store No. 12 and purchase 3 more ultraviolet lamps. Then ask Jiutian to squat in the mission hall to see if there will be any new announcements there."
"We will definitely go out later, but not now. Let's wait and see for a while to see the situation of the teams going out, and then we will adjust the plan according to the situation."
"Oh, I understand, what the boss means is... to let others try the water?" the subordinate asked.
"right."
.......
A group a few cars away from them.
Their car had already reached the roadside. After listening to the sound of the radio, the car continued to drive towards the gate of the trading market.
The old man driving the vehicle looked at the captain behind him through the rearview mirror from time to time.
When the vehicle approached the gate, the old man finally couldn't hold it any longer.
"Captain, there are zombies climbing on the wall during the day. Do we really want to go out?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! A middle-aged man sitting in the back patted the dust on his clothes and said:
"go out."
"But...but, there are wall-climbing zombies!" The old man's lips were trembling.
He had seen wall-climbing zombies twice, which left an extremely terrifying shadow on him.
"What are you afraid of? We have ultraviolet lights. The bigger the wind and waves, the more expensive the fish! You can earn the most points by going out for transportation at this time!"
"We have few points, now is a good time to earn points!"
"Besides, we finally found that place. If we don't go there quickly, what if we are discovered by someone..."
.......
After the radio report was broadcast, it caused an uproar.
Some teams that specialize in transportation or collecting supplies have chosen not to go out again.
Some were waiting and watching, but there were also some who were brave enough to buy a batch of ultraviolet lamps from the No. 12 store in the trading market and ran out directly.
Risks and opportunities coexist.
The factors everyone considers are different.
Some people are afraid of encountering wall-climbing zombies when they go out, while others know through gossip that a natural disaster will break out in the near future and want to accumulate points in advance.
There are also some fourth-level personnel in the trading market who have been working hard and scrimping on food and clothing to accumulate enough points. At this time, it is time to take a rest.
But the most stable ones are the workers who are still building buildings in the trading market.
They built it in a trading bazaar. What does the presence of wall-climbing zombies outside have to do with them?
Just build normally and collect points normally.
But after hearing the news, the workers in the buffer city looked outside the construction site with some fear.
They were worried that wall-climbing zombies would appear.
However, the guards from the Civil Armed Forces Division, who had prepared in advance, maintained order.
