Chapter 459 The base population is nearly two hundred people!
After Lao Luo and the others left, Li Yu slowly withdrew his gaze.
In Wengcheng, He Bing and others have been staying here during the recent rains.
Now that the rain has stopped and Captain Luo has been sent away, he should go to the next city to find those lathes as soon as possible. I don’t know if there have been any accidents in the recent period.
So, after Captain Luo left for half an hour, Li Yu directly found He Bing and told him about going to the next city to find a lathe.
Of course He Bing had no problem, so Li Yu asked them to pack their things as soon as possible.
Then he returned to the wall. Last time he had a brief discussion with his third uncle and his second uncle on the wall about the itinerary and candidates for this trip.
After He Bing exchanged the micro lathe last time, the third uncle assembled the equipment and asked the second uncle and the others to produce bullets.
It can produce nearly 500 rounds of bullets every day, but they are mainly reloaded bullets, but it is better than nothing.
Reloading bullets and gunpowder have different properties for pistols and rifles.
Pistol gunpowder burns quickly. If the same amount is loaded into a rifle bullet, the rifle bullet will explode.
So all this has to be done very carefully.
In addition, Li Yu also arranged for He Chao and others to increase their efforts to find gunpowder.
Regarding the current bullet equipment, if you find a lathe, there will basically be no problem. There are still some production materials, but not too many. Judging from the current gunpowder reserves, not many bullets can be made.
More gunpowder must be collected.
...
After a heavy rain, there are corpses of zombies outside the base, and they all need to be disposed of to prevent the corpses from becoming smelly and germs from growing and causing a plague after being exposed to the sun.
These matters were left to my second uncle and the people stationed at the base. This matter is also very important.
In addition, after this wave of zombies, it is necessary to check for deficiencies in the base's protective system. For example, in this case, the exposed trench was not wide enough. If the trench were wide enough, these zombies would have no chance of approaching the wall.
These all need to be solved by the second uncle and the others.
After communicating with his second uncle about improving the base's protection, Li Yu summoned the combatants in the base.
Eighty percent of the people in the base are now combatants. Except for the elderly and children, the rest, both men and women, need to fight.
Li Yu organized them into several groups.
A group is stationed in the base, headed by the uncle, who is responsible for the protection of the base.
He Chao's team is mainly responsible for investigating the surrounding situation, guarding outside the base, and collecting needed items in the base.
The other two groups are combat groups in the base, one is in charge of Li Yu, and the other is in charge of Uncle San.
Except for He Chao's group, other group members have a rotation system and are not static.
This time, Li Yu planned to lead the team in person to find lathes, which was very important to the base.
Li Tie also asked to go together. He had recovered from his injuries for so long, so he agreed.
Li Yu asked Li Yuan to register every time he went out or took out the number of weapons, and this time was no exception.
Because the road was not close, Li Yu didn't plan to take too many people away.
Nowadays, with the expansion of the base, there are more than 130 people in the inner city of the base, and more than 40 people in the outer city of the base, adding up to nearly 200 people.
In addition to these people, there are also some people who cooperate with the base. There are dozens of people who have reached the second level, and the total number is more than 200 people.
There are even more people who cooperate with the base to exchange food, but for some people here, the Da Zhangshu Base does not have any responsibilities and obligations. It is just a cooperative relationship with these people. Only when they find what they need in the base
, Da Zhangshu Base will exchange with them.
However, as long as the non-staff personnel can reach the second level, although there is very little food every month, at least there will be a stable source of food.
The third uncle took the cannon and took out all the firearms and ammunition.
On this trip, because they had to transport a large lathe, Li Yu asked Cannon and the others to bring the previous Dongfeng heavy-duty Hercules truck.
In fact, lathes have many uses besides the production of bullets, and are even considered the "mother machine" of all equipment.
Therefore, when Li Yu knew that this thing was available in the next city, he decided to get it. With this thing, many devices in the future can be used.
Looking at the truck slowly driving out of the garage, Li Yu remembered how he dumped the food in the truck into the underground storage factory a few days ago.
A piece of golden rice was filled with a pleasant color. Li Yu looked at the warehouse that was gradually filled with rice, and asked his grandfather to distinguish between some of the rice he had hoarded before the end of the world and the rice he discovered this time.
Which one is fresher?
Finally, it was concluded that the rice found this time was older than the ones Li Yu had hoarded and purchased before the end of the world.
In this case, Li Yu put the rice outside and ate the old rice first, and then the new rice.
Five heavy-duty trucks, a Unimog RV, an unknown brand of off-road RV with pretty good performance, and two other off-road vehicles.
This time, including Li Yu and Third Uncle, there were thirty people in total.
After getting dressed, Li Yu led everyone out of the base.
Just after Li Yu and others left the Da Zhangshu base, He Chao and his party also drove towards the county seat.
A group of them had other tasks arranged by Li Yu, looking for gunpowder!
After waiting for Li Yu and He Chao to leave, calm returned to the base.
The second uncle directed everyone to drive the excavator and dispose of the zombie corpses together.
...
After Li Yu and others left the base, they did not waste time and chose the nearest route based on the electronic map downloaded before the end of the world.
This nearest route passes through the expressway, which is also the road He Bing and the others passed last time.
On the road, sporadic zombies heard the roar of Li Yu's car and rushed over one after another.
But before any action was taken, as soon as they saw these vehicles, they were directly run over by the modified Unimog.
Snap!
The zombie was knocked down directly~
Then there was the sound of subsequent vehicles crushing him.
Knock, knock, knock~
On this road, the vehicle driven by Li Yu and the others was like a bulldozer, crushing the scattered zombies along the way.
The Unimog was already relatively tall. Li Yu sat behind the Unimog and opened the window, letting the spring wind blow into the car.
The turbid air in the car was swept away by the breeze. Li Yu sat by the car window, eating the fresh and crisp fruits just picked at the base.
In the Unimog, the window where Li Yu is located is 2 meters above the ground, making it basically impossible for zombies to touch it.
What's more, outside the car window, there are iron windows made of steel. Zombies can't get in through here at all.
Inside the car, it was quiet.
After Li Yu finished eating, he took out the firearm and wiped it, then carefully wiped every corner clean, and then the bullets. Each magazine was filled with bullets.
Other people in the same car were not idle either, checking their firearms one after another.
This time, I didn’t know who the people in that factory were. If they could get the lathes in a friendly manner, Li Yu would certainly be willing. He even brought some food in the car in exchange for them.
In order to obtain a lathe, Li Yu was willing to pay some price.
I just hope I won't be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, Li Yu looked at the receding scenery outside the window and squinted his eyes.
Li Yu touched his head. During the last heavy rain, his hair often got wet and it was easy to catch a cold, so Li Yu simply took a hair clipper and gave himself an inch haircut.
The cut is fresh and neat.
They were driving fast, and even if there were some zombies on the highway, they couldn't stop Li Yu and the others.
...
The other side.
Three heavy trucks kept driving south.
It's not far from the county seat, but these cars don't feel like they're entering the city at all, and they whiz by on the edge of the city.
These three vehicles were none other than Captain Luo and his companions who had just left Da Zhangshu Base in the morning.
Xiaoshi was sitting in Captain Luo's car. Seeing that Captain Luo's arm was still bandaged, a trace of worry flashed in her eyes, so she said: "Uncle Luo, how about I drive? Your arm is not healed yet."
Woolen cloth."
Captain Luo smiled slightly and said, "It's okay. It's almost healed. Don't worry."
Xiaoshi sighed and said: "Uncle Luo, I heard from Brother Ma that you have been out for more than a month this time. There are dozens of people in the entire team, and now you are the only three left. Me, me, alas.
....”
When Captain Luo heard Xiao Shi's words, he felt bitterness in his heart. Who knew it would be so difficult, but in the end of the world, since he chose to lead the team out, he was already prepared to die at any time.
The two of them said nothing more.
Just driving towards the south quietly.
Now is the spring when the grass grows and the orioles fly. It should be a good time for flowers to bloom and go outing after the rain.
It's a pity that this is the end of the world, an end of the world that is always on the verge of crisis.
In this end of the world, no one can escape.
Some are just strong and struggling to survive.
.....
Li Yu and the others drove their vehicle and drove all the way.
Although Xincheng is not far from the next city, it has also destroyed a province.
Along the way, I encountered no other survivors, only zombies.
Many buildings on the roadside have weeds growing on their walls.
Because it has rained frequently recently, moss has grown in many places.
Suddenly some sand and gravel appeared in front, and the car at the front skidded a little. Fortunately, the driver of the car quickly adjusted the steering wheel.
Zizizi~
Finally, the vehicle drifted sideways for a while and finally stopped in the middle of the road.
Li Yu quickly let Li Gang off the driver's seat and quickly slowed down the vehicle.
The cars behind all slowed down.
"Damn, who poured the sand here?" Cannon said.
Yang Tianlong in the car was also a little lucky. He looked outside the car and saw a small river not far away. It rained some time ago and the river was full of water.
If they hadn't stopped the car just now, they would have slipped into the river.
