In addition to safety issues, there is also the issue of food. Let’s not talk about how much food is stored. The ones currently grown on the ground and in the basement are enough to feed their team of hundreds of people.
After security and food issues, there is the energy issue. There is a large grocery store near the edge of Wengcheng.
There is also some coal, charcoal and the like stored in it, as well as some leftover steel, cement and other things from previous uses...
The most critical thing is that the main energy consumption now still relies on solar energy. In addition to solar energy, there is also wind energy that can be used. There are also two small water conservancy generators, which now also rely on the water flow from the mountain pond.
However, these two hydroelectric generators are rarely used, usually during heavy rains.
Solar energy, wind energy, hydro energy, coal, etc. are basically covered, so their energy sources do not present any major problems at present.
...
Time passed by and night fell.
It is still under the big camphor tree. This camphor tree has lived for hundreds of years. Before the end of the world, many local people would place incense under this camphor tree when they offered incense to the local land god.
A huge lamp hung on the big camphor tree, lighting up the night sky in the base.
There are also many solar street lights in the base, especially in the mountains and forests. At night, the street lights on both sides of the repaired cobblestones are illuminated, and the surrounding trees are looming, giving it a park-like atmosphere.
Under the big camphor tree.
The activity organized this time was still based on Li Yu's suggestion last time, including some fish, beef, and some vegetables and fruits.
Because there are more people now, we now use a self-service model. You can get what you want to eat and bake it yourself.
Of course peanuts are indispensable.
Now that there are peanuts, wine is also indispensable.
Li Yu stocked up on several tons of wine at first, and now he drinks some.
In normal times, people rarely drink, and only when there are parties are they allowed to drink.
In order to take care of the people on duty, tonight's party is based on a rotation system, divided into two groups, the first half and the second half.
The second uncle had always been on duty, and he had only attended one of the many gatherings.
The temperature dropped very quickly at night, but because of the heat of the fire, no one felt that cold.
Only the occasional evening breeze blew over, making everyone feel a little cooler.
Li Yu looked at everyone's faces illuminated by the fire, saw Lao Xie who was drinking, saw Xiao Wu who was competing with the cannon, and saw Lao Lu who was helping his daughter bake food.
Li Yu walked to the middle and coughed twice.
When everyone heard Li Yu's coughing, they put down what they were holding and began to listen intently to Li Yu's speech.
It was quiet for a while.
Li Yu said with a smile: "I haven't had a dinner party for a long time. Now I have this party today. The first reason is to welcome Captain Lu and others. They have actually been here for a while, but they have never had time to hold this welcome event."
"The second thing is that everyone has worked hard recently. Now let's relax. We will have some small activities later and you can participate to win some small rewards."
"Thirdly, I just hope that everyone can live a good life and protect the base. We are now like a big family in this apocalyptic world. I hope that everyone can continue to unite! Only in this way can we keep going.
.”
After Li Yu finished speaking a few words, he stopped talking. Li Yu didn't speak very much in such situations. Many times, everyone could feel his attitude through his actions.
There was a burst of cheers and thanks from below.
"good."
"okay."
"Thank you, Mr. Li.
"Thank you, Brother Li."
...
After Captain Lu saw Li Yu finished speaking, he thought about it and asked the team to
Shang Xueer, the only female team member in the team, brought her daughter.
He also walked up.
Captain Lu's expression was a little serious, but his eyes were full of sincerity:
"We are really grateful to Mr. Li and you for accepting us, helping us, saving us when we are in the most critical moment, and even going to avenge us. For this, we are very grateful to Mr. Li.
, thank you all very much."
As soon as he finished speaking, he bowed.
Perhaps it was because the wound on his back had not been completely healed, but the bow just made him frown slightly.
"You won't break the scar that you just scarred again, right?" Li Yuan, who was next to him, couldn't help but say.
Captain Lu raised his head, returned the smile, and then said: "As Mr. Li said, we are a big family, Lao Xie, Lao Wu... we all came from Jiefang City
, we will follow Mr. Li from now on, and we will all follow Mr. Li’s arrangements from now on..."
With these words, the transfer of power has already been carried out. Even before the third uncle took Lao Xie and others to solve the problem of Heyuan, at that time, although it had already been carried out in fact.
But now the transfer of power has been achieved in name only, which is very important.
Whether it is Lao Lu or Lao Xie, they all need such a sentence to make it clear.
Even Song Min and others from before came here like this.
A base can only have one core leader. Others can make suggestions and ideas, but there can only be one person who makes the final decision.
Especially in this end of the world, the chaos of power will give rise to many troublesome things.
After hearing what Lao Lu said, Lao Xie and others obviously relaxed a lot.
Now Li Yu's third uncle is leading them, which seems unfair.
.......
In this joyful atmosphere, Lao Lu couldn't drink because he couldn't get hurt, so he could only drink tea there.
Playing chess with Grandpa Li Yu, everyone ate and drank during the night, because the food supply was sufficient, and in Li Yu's opinion, the party should have the meaning of a party.
So when it comes to food, everyone can basically get the ingredients they want.
In this happy atmosphere, the children are the happiest. They run around the big camphor tree and laugh.
Because it is quite some distance from the wall, it is difficult for the sound from here to reach outside the base.
Li Yu took a few skewers of beef, with some fat meat and some lean meat on them, cross-skewered. Then he put them on the charcoal oven to bake. Under the baking of the charcoal fire, the meat was roasted fragrantly and the surface was sizzling.
With a loud sound, drop by drop of oil fell on the charcoal, making the flame more intense.
After a while, after several skewers of beef were roasted, Li Yu skillfully sprinkled some cumin powder and chili powder on it, and handed two skewers to Yutong who was sitting next to him. The two chatted, ate the barbecue, and occasionally had a drink.
beer.
The scene is extremely harmonious.
Under this dense camphor tree, everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, as if all their worries had disappeared.
The happiness at this moment makes them feel that even in the end of the world, they can still live a nourishing and leisurely life!
