Upon hearing the movement, several people immediately turned around and looked at the place where the noise came from.
Because it is close to the river, it is spring, and it has rained frequently in the past, so the river is rushing and making a huffing sound.
Zhizhi~
I saw a small black mouse emerging from a corridor, sniffing here and there.
He didn't seem to be afraid of people. After seeing Li Yu and the others, he came straight in the direction of Li Yu and the others.
Li Yu shot the little mouse without hesitation.
boom!
The little mouse was shot directly.
After firing the shot, Li Yu slowly walked forward, picked up a plastic pipe on the way, picked up the mouse, and turned it over.
The little mouse was blown to pieces, and only a layer of skin was left hanging between the head and the body.
The fur is normal and the blood color is normal.
Li Yu threw away the plastic rod in his hand and continued to walk to the pipe connection on the right.
"What's wrong?" Bai Jie asked.
Li Yu shook his head and said: "It's okay. This place is evil. The zombies have been infected by the chemicals here and have changed. I thought the mouse will also change. But I just took a look and there is no change."
After saying that, I walked to the discharge port on the right.
This place connected to the riverside pipeline is a row of bungalows.
Yang Tianlong stepped forward and opened the door of the bungalow, and what he saw was a pool. This pool was like an indoor swimming pool, but it looked like this place might be used to treat and purify chemical wastewater.
This pool was filled with the green liquid that had just been poured into the river. Li Yu looked at this place and found that there was a big hole in the top right side of this simple bungalow.
To be fair, this place is indoors, and it is unscientific to still have this green water flowing out after such a long time.
Seeing this broken hole, everyone understood that it probably rained some time ago and filled the pool.
This pool has already accumulated a lot of chemical substances. When rainwater comes in, water is poured outside.
Li Yu slowly walked to the edge of the pool, looked carefully, and found the pipe entrance. There was a closed valve on it. Li Yu pressed it hard.
Zhi~
The water surface, which was originally spinning, suddenly calmed down.
Li Yu said to He Chao next to him: "He Chao, Tianlong, you go to the drainage outlet just now and see if there is any green water entering the river."
He Chao and the other two turned around and went out.
Li Yu looked at the big hole at the top, then walked out of the bungalow and looked at the distance between the bungalow and the river.
It's about fifty meters, and the bungalow side seems to be lower than the middle part due to the terrain.
Bai Jie squatted down, put on gloves, poured the green water from the pool into the test tube, and then placed the test tube into a sealed iron box.
Li Yu took a glance and saw two very round moons.
After looking at the hole above, I felt there was no need to plug it up.
If there is a heavy rain and the water in the pool overflows, the terrain of this place will not allow it to flow to the river.
The zombies here have basically been eliminated, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Li Yu walked out of the bungalow and looked at the deserted factory building.
There are two rows of blackboard newspapers in front of them. The outside of the blackboard newspapers are protected by glass, but the writing on them is already mottled.
I can only vaguely see what is written on it: prosperity, democracy, and harmony.
On the right side of this blackboard newspaper, there are some photos, with the name of the factory director written in the center, and the words advocated by the factory director.
Such a large factory must have had a lot of people before the end of the world.
Li Yu could even imagine the scene of people coming and going here before the end of the world.
But now, things have changed and people have changed.
Tap tap tap tap ~
There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Li Yu turned around to see He Chao and Yang Tianlong.
He Chao walked over and said to Li Yu: "Mr. Li, we just saw that the water in the pipe has stopped being discharged."
Li Yu looked at the sky and saw that it was getting late.
So he nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back. They have probably packed the sand."
Everyone got on the car, Cannon accelerated the car, and drove outside the factory.
After they walked for more than ten minutes, a figure on the roof of the factory building on the right looked coldly at the direction Li Yu and the others left.
They returned very quickly, and on the way they met people carrying sand.
The group returned to the base together.
In the car, Li Yu said to Bai Jie: "After returning to the base, you should first study the changes in the wastewater discharged from the chemical plant and the zombies, and find out what is the reason. This may allow us to understand the zombies
Learn more about it.”
Bai Jie nodded and said good.
When everyone returned to the base, they saw a busy scene in the base.
Limestone, clay, steel bars, sand, and gravel are divided into categories and regions, and piled up in many hills.
At around five o'clock in the evening, Fusheng and the others also came back, bringing with them rotary kilns and vertical kilns specialized in making cement.
Both of these devices are relatively large and must be disassembled for transportation.
Li Yu went to Fusheng and asked about the installation. He learned that it can be installed directly tomorrow, which means that cement production can start tomorrow.
When the cement is made, everyone uses molds, and then uses cement, sand, and stones to cast it on site.
Everything is ready, and we can officially start building the exterior wall tomorrow.
Night falls.
When night came, Li Yu asked everyone to return to the base. Although they were in a hurry, the lives of the people in the base were more important.
Therefore, they did not work overtime at night.
These days, everyone does something together, communicates more with each other, and becomes more familiar with each other.
Everyone was a little tired after a busy day, so they went to sleep early.
And what they don't know is.
50 kilometers away from the base, a yellow torrent is continuing southward, overwhelming the sky.
Early the next morning, Li Yu was licked awake by three little wolf dogs.
Li Yu opened his eyes and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, let me feed you. This is getting bigger and bigger, and the appetite has also increased a lot. Next time I go out from the base, maybe I can take you with me."
"
Ouch, ow, ow.
Three wolf dogs lined up in a row, waiting obediently for Li Yu to feed them.
Wow~
Li Yu poured some of the dog food he found earlier into several small bowls.
Watching the three wolf dogs eating food, Li Yu got up and did 100 push-ups on the ground until his body felt a little warm.
He put on his sports clothes, and at this time, the three wolf dogs also ate up all the food.
They squatted obediently at the door, waiting for Li Yu to open the door and take them out to exercise and run in the mountains.
Li Yu just went downstairs and sniffed the air.
It feels a little dusty.
After thinking about the construction outside the base in the past few days, I thought it was dust drifting in from the work done outside.
Li Yu started to run, but as he ran, he smelled something strange.
Buzz~
Pa da ~
He saw a yellow locust appearing on a peanut leaf planted on the roadside.
Because he was running, he didn't see the locust clearly and thought it was an ordinary insect.
But soon, after he ran less than 300 meters, another insect flew past in front of him.
Appearing twice attracted Li Yu's attention.
Li Yu knelt down and looked at the insect.
It's locusts!
Li Yu looked up at the sky. Within the visible range around him, he could see more than a dozen locusts appearing sporadically.
Seeing that there were more than a dozen locusts, Li Yu was instantly attracted.
This is!
Li Yu was not in the mood to run, so he ran directly to the villa area.
While running, I heard the intercom on my arm ringing.
"Mr. Li, our staff on duty at the north side of the national highway said that there are a lot of locusts, many, many, and you can't even see the end point." He Chao said on the intercom.
Li Yu was shocked when he heard this.
Contact your second uncle immediately and ask him to ring the highest alert bell in the base.
The locust plague is very terrifying. Wherever you walk by, not a single blade of grass will grow.
It's May 8th now.
The rice has only been planted for more than 50 days, which is still in the growing period for rice with a 90-day growth cycle.
How to do it.
After hearing the siren, people in and around the base were on heightened alert.
Li Yu said to Zhou Weiguo, who is responsible for breeding: "Currently, how many chickens and ducks are there in the base?"
Zhou Weiguo thought for a while and said: "As for chickens, there are probably more than a hundred, and there are about ninety ducks. If you include the chickens and ducks that are just half a month old, there are about 450 in total."
Li Yu calculated it and found that this number was not too small, but when looking at the entire base, it was still a bit small. After all, the inner and outer cities combined now have nearly 200 acres of land.
On average, there are only two chickens and ducks per acre of land, which is simply not enough to take care of.
Li Yu said to everyone: "I received news from the brothers on duty outside that there are now a large number of locusts coming in our direction. Everyone must be prepared.
First, everyone quickly makes some nets for locusts. After catching the locusts, deal with them in a unified manner. Uncle Lai, you are responsible for this part.
We will conduct experiments on animals to see if these locusts can be eaten. If they can be eaten, these locusts will become our food reserves.
Second, Zhou Weiguo, you are responsible for taking good care of these chickens and ducks, and assign another 40 chickens and ducks to the outer city. There are more than 20 acres of rice there.
Third, everyone should seize the time to harvest vegetables, potatoes and other grains that are ripe outside. If they are not yet mature or are about to mature, pick them as well.
As for rice, it has just begun to bear ears and is not mature at all. Everyone needs to find ways to protect it.
Fourth, Bai Jie, you and the two pharmacists should think of a way to prepare the corresponding pesticides as soon as possible so that we can carry out chemical prevention and control.
That’s all for now, let’s start taking action.”
After explaining everything, Li Yu went to the outer city and explained to He Chao and others, asking them to protect the rice in the outer city.
These rice are their source of food.
Currently, the total population of the base is more than 200, including more than 140 people in the inner city and nearly 100 people in the outer city.
The size of the locusts is unknown now, so Li Yu doesn't want people from the outer city to come in for the time being.
Moreover, with the current number of people, it is still enough for the time being.
Suddenly, Li Yu thought of something.
He immediately found Anya and told her: "The underground planting areas in the inner city must be well protected to prevent a locust from entering."
Anya also knew the seriousness of the matter, and said seriously with a dark face: "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I have locked up the underground planting area. There are still people watching over there."
Li Yu felt relieved when he heard what she said.
Time passes little by little.
There are more and more locusts in the sky.
After these locusts arrive, they will eat anything and are not picky at all.
As long as it is green, these locusts will start to eat.
Li Yuan and the others are frantically harvesting vegetables. These vegetables have large leaves, and locusts especially like to eat them.
Half an hour.
Li Yu and others mobilized nearly 80 people to collect all the vegetables, and placed tons of vegetables in the underground warehouse.
Li Yu asked Lai Dongsheng's wife Zhou Xiumei to lead five or six people to deal with the vegetables urgently.
Now that the weather is getting warmer, vegetables will rot in a short time.
Two tons of vegetables are placed in the cold storage, and the remaining vegetables need to be processed.
First of all, the first way is to pickle.
In fact, there is another way, which can be dried and stored for a longer period of time.
It's just that there are so many locusts outside now. If you leave them outside, they will definitely be eaten up.
So for the rest, I also used several dehydrators that I brought back to the base.
Dehydrating vegetables is also a solution.
As everyone was busy, more and more locusts arrived.
Li Yu thought for a while, there must be no shortage of people on the wall.
There are 28 acres of land planted outside in the inner city, 20 acres of rice planted in the outer city, and nearly 10 acres planted indoors and underground, totaling nearly 60 acres.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Yu thought for a while, so he asked Li Tie, Sanshu and other 10 people to guard the wall, and then asked Li Hang and Li Yuan to guard around the warehouse
Clean up locusts.
Finally, He Chao and those who had followed him were allowed in.
There are almost forty people.
The reason for choosing them is simple. They are the group of people who have been joining the Zhangshu Base for the longest time in the outer city.
Moreover, their contribution is not far away from being able to enter the inner city. Many of their children will later be able to enter the inner city to study.
Moreover, for Li Yu, although most of these people are women and children, fighting locusts does not require bravery.
It's about patience and persistence.
After they came in, He Bing, Lao Luo, Uncle Qin and others were the only ones left in the outer city.
Xiaoshi also entered the inner city to eliminate the locusts together.
An hour later.
The sky became much darker.
It's not because of changes in weather, but because there are so many locusts that they cover the sky.
Li Yu looked at so many locusts and felt a little desperate.
Thick locusts are everywhere.
They were killing locusts frantically, and they had no time to take care of the orchards on the mountains.
The most important thing now is the crops.
In addition to the ten acres of land in the underground planting room, more than two hundred people in the base have invested in the remaining forty acres.
Basically, there are four or five people and nearly 10 chickens and ducks on each acre of land to protect the crops and ensure that these locusts will not eat the crops.
As for the other flowers and plants in the garden and the fruit trees in the mountains and forests, they paid no attention to them.
But, even so, these crops are still visibly reduced.
Look at the locusts covering the sky and the sun, stretching across the endless horizon.
Too many.
Everyone worked very hard and nearly a ton of locusts were caught.
But the locusts still don't seem to be getting fewer, and instead they are increasing in number.
