“Falling leaves have no roots, and single threads cannot form threads.
I have nothing to rely on and no intention to wander.
"
Li Yu stood on the balcony, wearing headphones, listening to the music downloaded before the apocalypse broke out.
Listening to this song, he was filled with infinite emotion.
The fallen leaves have returned to their roots, and they are living in the apocalypse. In order to survive, many people have lost their humanity and are like walking zombies, with no hope and no goals.
Between the spirit and the body, only the body is left. In order to keep the body alive, the spirit is extremely empty.
It was the same in his last life.
This is living, but it is just living.
Fortunately, rebirth gave him the opportunity to feel family, love and friendship.
All of this is extremely precious.
The next day, Ding Jiu counted out the materials needed for the expansion of the Third Outer City early in the morning, made many copies, and gave them to everyone.
Li Yu also got one.
On the other side, Ershu and He Chao also added these materials to the external cooperation list, and after updating, gave them to all collaborators and non-staff personnel.
After receiving the new exchange list, these people were eager to leave the Da Zhangshu base as soon as possible and go out to perform the mission.
On this morning, Li Yu also found two groups of non-staff personnel, Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng, in advance before announcing that many non-staff and cooperative personnel could go out to perform tasks.
Zhu Xiao had left a deep impression on Li Yu before. He was a two-meter-tall strong man with strong fighting ability. The key is that he also had a good brain.
As a group of non-staff members, Guo Peng was the first to join among the current non-staff members. Out of the principle of trust, Li Yu asked his group and Zhu Xiao's group to follow Uncle San to the steel plant in Guang Province.
There are about forty people in total, so two groups are enough.
In Li Yu's plan, in addition to Sanshu and Lao Qin driving an armored RV, ten other heavy trucks were sent from the base to accompany them. These ten heavy trucks were handed over to Xiao Hu and Guo Peng to control
, if a steel factory is found at that time, the transportation will mainly be done by them.
Big camphor tree base fence.
Near the west side.
Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng, led by He Chao and their second uncle, came to Li Yu's side.
"Mr. Li, Guo Peng and the others are here." He Chao reminded him when he saw Li Yu looking at the mountains and forests outside the base.
Li Yu retracted his gaze from looking at the hillside in the distance, turned his head and saw Guo Peng and two others.
Guo Peng and Guo Peng saw Li Yu turning around and greeted him quickly.
"Mr. Li."
"Mr. Li."
Li Yu nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I appreciate you very much. You also got the list of exchange materials this time. Did you find anything about the new additions?"
Guo Peng and Zhu Xiao looked at each other with a little doubt.
In fact, this was the first time that Li Yu called the two of them alone.
Even when He Chao ran over to them and called them just now, it made other non-staff members a little confused and envious.
Guo Peng was also simple. He pondered for two seconds and then said: "I found that in addition to some equipment and instruments, there is a huge demand for building materials, mainly steel. Is there any big move in the base?"
Li Yu did not answer directly, but looked at Guo Peng and said: "Your group is the first to join among the current non-staff members. How many points do you have now?"
"79.5 points. Mr. Li." Guo Peng said.
"Zhu Xiao, where is your group?" Li Yu looked at Zhu Xiao again and asked.
"76 points." Zhu Xiao said.
In the points system adopted by the Da Zhangshu Base, if a cooperative member reaches 60 points and passes the observer's review, he or she can be listed as a non-staff member and receive the minimum guarantee every month.
If non-staff personnel perform tasks, 1. their points have reached 80 points, 2. they have cooperated with Da Zhangshu Base for more than half a year, have made relatively large contributions, or have relatively unique talents that are urgently needed in the base. 3. After Li
After the personal assessment by Yu, Second Uncle and others, you can join the outer city.
Personnel from the outer city who have accumulated 100 points and have made outstanding contributions to the base can join the inner city only if they are proposed by three or more people, discussed at an internal core meeting, and approved by a show of hands.
It has been more than a year now that Guo Peng has gone from being a collaborator to a non-staff member, and he can be considered an old man.
At this time, the points have also reached a critical point for entering the outer city.
But entering the base does not only rely on points, but the most important thing is how to prove your loyalty and ability to the base.
How to prove it? You need to do something that can be proven, but that requires a chance.
After hearing the points number of their group, Li Yu nodded slightly, and then said to the two of them: "There is a task that I want to give to your two groups to carry out. It may be more dangerous. Are you willing?"
"I do." Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng said in unison.
Almost as soon as Li Yu finished speaking, they answered.
Not to mention that they had to do some tasks in the first place, but the food that the Da Zhangshu Base gave them in excess of the subsidy some time ago was deducted.
More importantly, in their view, this was Li Yu's respect and recognition of them. The entire non-staff team was usually assigned tasks by He Chao, but at this time, it was Mr. Li who personally assigned them the tasks.
I had no choice but to do a good job, express myself well, and leave a good impression on Li Yu, the helmsman of the Da Zhangshu Base, so that I could enter the outer city.
Both of them realized this, so they agreed directly without asking Li Yu what task he wanted to give them.
Seeing their agreement, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction, and then said: "Tomorrow, you will follow Lao Qin and my third uncle to Guang Province to find a steel plant and transport some of the steel back. This time I will give you ten heavy trucks.
Truck, when the time comes you follow my uncle’s orders and transport the steel back.”
After the two heard about this mission, especially when they heard that Uncle Li Yu was leading the team, their eyes flashed with anticipation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They have also heard some rumors about the third uncle, and have seen the third uncle showing off his power before, so they have great respect for the third uncle.
"clear."
"OK."
Li Yu stepped forward, patted their shoulders, and said slowly: "Do a good job, don't let me down."
"Yes, Mr. Li!" The two of them felt Li Yu's kindness and encouragement, their heads were hot, and they said loudly.
Li Yu nodded and said to He Chao behind the two of them: "Okay, you take them down and prepare to deliver ten trucks to them together."
He Chao said: "Okay, you two, come down with me."
After Zhu Xiao and Li Yu said goodbye, they followed He Chao down the wall.
In fact, Li Yu also thought about asking Zuo Ruxue and the others, but they were all girls, relatively weak, and most of them couldn't drive, so they asked Zhu Xiao to take over.
There are ten heavy-duty trucks. Each heavy-duty truck can carry 50 tons when fully loaded. To be safe, the load is 40 tons.
If their trip goes well, they can bring back 400 tons of steel to build the third outer city, which will be enough for a while.
There are still more than 200 tons of steel in the base, so we can start building the third outer city at the same time.
After the two left, the second uncle came over and said to Li Yu: "Xiaoyu, can we let the other non-staff personnel and collaborators go out to perform their tasks?"
Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, you can talk to them later. The third outer city can be built first."
"Okay, then I'll talk to them now." After the second uncle finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Li Yu looked at the land outside the wall. In the future, this would be the third outer city.
After He Chao took Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng down, he said to them: "You go back and clean up quickly. I will drive the heavy truck over to you later."
"Okay, thank you." The two said to He Chao.
After the two returned to the greenhouse, Xiao Hu, Zuo Ruxue and others immediately surrounded them.
"Butcher, what did He Chao ask you to do just now? Tell us." Xiao Hu asked with a gossipy look on his face.
Zhu Xiao and Xiao Hu have a good relationship, but he knows that Li Yu specially called the two of them up, and he must not want everyone to know.
Besides, this is not suitable to say.
So Zhu Xiao said mysteriously: "This will be kept secret for the time being."
Xiao Hu glanced at him, his eyes full of questions. Although he had a lot of curiosity in his heart, since Zhu Xiao was unwilling to speak, he couldn't force him to answer.
So I didn't ask any more questions.
It's just that everyone looked at the two of them with some envy. Normally, if they were specially asked to come up like this, they must have a special mission.
This kind of special task is the easiest way to increase your points.
They also want such an opportunity.
Not to mention Zhu Xiao and the others, on the other side, Third Uncle also found Lao Qin and proposed to go out to perform a mission tomorrow.
Outer city residential area.
The third uncle threw a pack of cigarettes to Old Qin and said, "Old Qin, you go out with me tomorrow to complete a mission."
Lao Qin took the pack of cigarettes with a smile, without asking what the mission was or when he would be back. After taking the cigarettes, he opened the package, lit a cigarette, and said to his third uncle, "Do you want to bring a sniper rifle?"
The third uncle thought for a while and then said: "You can choose the weapon. Just tell me what you want and I will bring it to you tomorrow."
Lao Qin said habitually: "A sniper rifle, two pistols, 1,000 rounds of ammunition, and a body armor."
The third uncle nodded slightly and said, "Then it's the same thing you used to do. I'll get it for you tomorrow."
After saying that, the third uncle left.
Lao Qin didn't ask what specific mission he wanted to perform, and his third uncle didn't say anything either.
Lao Qin's trust in his third uncle has reached a level where there is no need to consider it at all.
The two of them can trust each other without any worries.
In the outer city.
The second uncle asked Guo Peng to gather all the non-staff personnel and collaborators.
He also told them that they could now leave the base to perform tasks, and gave each of their groups a walkie-talkie, and asked them to report the situation at any time if they encountered strangers or suspicious people outside.
, if you report useful news, you will also be rewarded.
After everyone received the walkie-talkies and heard that they could go out, they lined up one by one to receive the vehicles and weapons they had handed in before entering.
Fortunately they came to the Da Zhangshu Base, otherwise their car would have been left outside and they would probably not be able to use it now.
Cannon, Li Tie and others stood on the wall, holding firearms and looking down.
He Bing, Lao Zhou and others returned weapons and car keys one by one to non-staff personnel and collaborators.
Zuo Ruxue looked at the crumpled piece of paper in her hand. There were some new writings on the paper. These new writings were all exchange tasks that had just been issued to them in the base yesterday.
"Sister Zuo, have you thought about it? Which mission are we going to perform?" asked the busty girl next to her.
Zuo Ruxue looked at the exchange list on the paper, hesitated and said: "The flood has just ended, and the situation outside is unknown. Let's take a look at the situation after we go out and make a decision."
The big-breasted girl felt that what Zuo Ruxue said made sense, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
They lined up to receive the weapons and cars they had handed over in turn.
The door opens.
Everyone swam out of the base like fish.
Some people have already made plans to go farther away as soon as they go out.
Some people returned to the area around the Da Zhangshu base, cleaned up the mud, and settled down around the base.
The reason why some people are like this is because in the food exchange, there is a project that participates in the construction and provides three meals a day.
These three meals can be exchanged for the part of the food they had given to them in advance at the base and the Da Zhangshu Base based on the proportion.
For example, they can skip three meals a day, eat two meals, and use the remaining meal to offset their previous debts.
This method is the safest for them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But when they walked out of the Da Zhangshu base, they discovered that there was sun-dried mud everywhere, even on the national highway.
In the mountain forest, many trees fell down.
Zuo Ruxue took her group back to a house on the rural road.
This house was completely flooded by water.
At this point it looks dirty and run-down.
When they walked into the yard, they saw a wooden door that was swollen with water and had peeling paint and many burrs after being exposed to the sun for the past two days.
Zuo Ruxue rolled up her sleeves and said to everyone: "Sisters, clean up our place!"
They opened the door and saw that inside the house, all the furniture placed here were all staggered, and some were even covered in mud.
The big-breasted girl had a sad look on her face, and it would take most of the day just to clean this place.
At the Da Zhangshu Base, all the non-staff and cooperating personnel went out except for Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng who stayed.
The third uncle also explained to Lao Qin, and found Li Yuan and went to the basement to get the weapons and equipment for tomorrow's departure.
The third uncle thought that the two of them would drive out in an armored RV, so he simply brought some extra bullets and firearms.
There are 10,000 bullets, and most of them will be in the car by then.
Li Yu also found Ding Jiu, Li's father, Xiao Qian and others, and asked them to start building the third outer city tomorrow.
In building the Third Outer City, the most important materials are concrete and steel.
There are still more than 200 tons of steel in the base, which can be used now. As for concrete, the main ones are cement, sand, and stone...
As for cement, we can let Fusheng and the others handle it. Dazhangshu base has already achieved independent production of cement.
Sand, stones, etc., have been exchanged for points, so that non-staff and collaborators can find ways to get them.
When Ding Jiu heard that Li Yu was going to start tomorrow, he was a little shocked by Li Yu's vigorous and decisive actions, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was really nothing to prepare for.
If everything is ready, it will probably take several months.
It's faster to prepare the materials while you're working.
After looking for Ding Jiu, Li Yu went to the outer city again.
As mentioned by Uncle San, it is necessary to improve the control of Da Zhangshu Base over Xincheng and even the entire Gan City.
In the past, the people stationed in Xincheng were usually Deng Ben and others, but now if we want to expand the base's influence, we must expand the number of personnel stationed outside.
It should be divided into at least four points.
There is a temporary overseas settlement point in the north of Dazhangshu Base, another temporary settlement point in Xincheng, a temporary overseas settlement point between Xincheng and Dazhangshu Base, and a temporary overseas settlement point from Xincheng to Gan City.
Approximately three people are needed for each location, for a total of 12 people.
Li Yu decided to adopt the form of scheduling, letting Lao Luo, Lao Bi, Ju Tianrui, Deng Ben, A Guang, Xiao Jun, Lao Yi, Lao Zhou, A Hong and others take turns patrolling at several points.
These people do not stay at one point. Instead, one person leads three or four people to patrol various points every day. In this way, they use walkie-talkies to cover dozens of kilometers around them, plus relays at each point.
The device expands its range.
In addition, Uncle Er issued walkie-talkies to dozens of collaborators and a dozen non-staff groups today.
Through four fixed points, mobile patrol personnel outside the outer city, plus dozens of mobile or fixed cooperation personnel.
In this way, it can basically cover the entire Xincheng.
Each team of collaborators has become the eyes and ears of the Da Zhangshu Base.
This ensures that once there is an abnormal situation or an outsider breaks in, the Da Zhangshu base can quickly know and respond.
Orange Island Head.
Since this location is near the Xiangjiang River, it is greatly affected by floods.
The water level of the flood was very high, hundreds of meters high. Gan Hu and the others waited for a long time before the flood finally receded.
After finally seeing the flood recede, Gan Hu and Yao Zuo were eager to return to the Western Alliance.
They had less than five days' worth of food left, and it was calculated based on the minimum portion per person.
The top floor of Puhua Building.
Gan Hu looked at the ground under the building that had dried up after being exposed to the sun for the past two days, and said to Yao Zuo: "We can almost evacuate, right?"
Yao Zuo also walked to the balcony and dropped a stool.
The stool hit the ground, and the mud on it was dry enough to leave.
So he nodded and said to Gan Hu: "You can go, then let's leave now."
They quickly packed their luggage. In fact, they didn't have much luggage, just a very small amount of food and bedding.
Five minutes later, they arrived at the door of this floor that was originally sealed by them.
The door was tied with various iron chains, and various heavy objects were piled up.
Everyone moved these things away one by one.
All that's left is the chain.
Gan Hu asked someone to pull the chain away, and then asked someone to come forward and open the door.
This young man has an ugly face.
He was a little uneasy.
Generally, zombies are not seen during the day, especially in cities.
But at night, zombies are rampant.
So where do the zombies go during the day?
Naturally, he is hiding among the buildings in the city.
In the past, when zombies were not so mobile, they usually appeared in the basement of a building or on a lower floor.
After all, under normal circumstances, zombies' bodies are not as sensitive as humans. It is very difficult for them to climb such a tall building like humans.
Unless in heavy rain, the zombie's sensitivity is enhanced.
However, during the recent heavy rains and floods, the floods washed many zombies into the building.
Some of these zombies stayed in the building.
They have the same thing in this building.
Not to mention anything else, just last night, they heard the roar of zombies downstairs.
Just below their floor.
Although it was daytime now, he was still a little scared.
"Hurry up!" Gan Hu urged when he saw that this man was still lingering.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hearing Gan Hu's urging, the young man knew that he had to do it.
So he gritted his teeth, calmed his mind, moved his feet back slightly, and leaned his body. This action was to prepare him to evacuate at any time.
The young man put his hands on the doorknob and silently recited three numbers in his mind.
three.
two.
one.
He pulled the door handle hard and opened the two iron doors.
At the same time, he immediately moved his feet back and ran behind everyone in a flash.
Bang bang!
The two iron doors were forcefully opened and hit the walls on both sides, making a loud noise.
The steps at the door were dark.
The sound of the iron door banging just now echoed in the long staircase.
Gan Hu looked at the young man with some disdain, pointed at him and said: "Go down, you take the lead."
The young man cursed Gan Hu secretly in his heart, but with a bitter look on his face he said to Gan Hu: "Brother Hu, I have already opened the door. If you go downstairs, can you change someone?"
Gan Hu pointed at him and cursed: "Go down if you are told. There is so much nonsense. Get down quickly."
There was a trace of anger on the young man's face, but he immediately lowered his head. Based on his understanding of Gan Hu, if he knew that he was unwilling and saw the expression on his face, he would definitely not get any good results.
Killed by Gan Hu.
However, going down is also a big risk.
Just when he was in a dilemma, he saw Gan Hu's impatient expression again, so he gritted his teeth and said to Gan Hu: "Brother Hu, give me a flashlight, I can't see clearly down here."
In this building, the stairwell is different from the residential area in that there are no windows. In fact, there will be no need to install windows before the end of the world.
Generally, such relatively high-end buildings will have elevators, and stairs are basically not used.
Therefore, in this kind of building, especially those above 30 floors, there are basically no windows in the stairs, but some vents will be installed.
Gan Hu looked at the dark stairs behind the door, hesitated, and asked Yao Zuo to give him a hand-cranked flashlight.
This kind of hand-cranked flashlight needs to be pressed continuously by hand to produce light.
Jigujigu——
The young man held down a flashlight and held a spear in his right hand.
Trembling all over, he slowly walked into the stairs of the building.
Inside the stairs, it was eerily quiet.
There was only the sound of his flashlight.
Da da da--
He slowly walked up to the halfway staircase, the light illuminated the door to the next floor, and the door to the next floor was open.
There are also some windows on the lower floors, which are illuminated by weak light.
Although the light is very weak, at least it is there!
This gave him a psychological comfort.
Huhu——
Seeing the light, he felt much more relaxed.
So he continued walking down.
He stood on the next floor and saw that there were no zombies around, so he shouted to Gan Hu and others above: "No zombies have been found yet. Come down."
Dozens of floors and dark stairs echoed with the young man's words.
"Come down."
"Come down."
It's empty and sounds weird.
If they hadn't known it was daytime, they would have felt like a ghost.
Gan Hu was very courageous. When he heard the young man say it was no problem, he said to the people behind him: "Let's go!"
So he took the lead and walked over first, and the others behind him quickly followed with their luggage.
They don't want to be the last person. They must know that in this environment, the first and last people are the most dangerous.
The young man watched them come down, their flashlights flickering around, illuminating the stairs on this floor, and he felt more and more relaxed.
But what he didn't know was that there were three or four zombies standing behind him at the door of the floor where he was standing.
He opened his huge mouth and slowly approached him.
The young man did not check the inside of this floor. In his opinion, since there was light inside, there must be no zombies inside.
However, I am also a little confused. Last night, there were roars of zombies coming from this floor, but now down here, where are the zombies?
What he didn't know was that there happened to be a window on this floor facing the stairwell. Although it was a bit far away, it still illuminated the stairway.
But the area on the first floor is very large, and there are many other places that the outside sun cannot reach.
Tap tap tap——
Gan Hu came up the steps from upstairs.
When I saw the young man standing at the door half a floor down, shining his flashlight on the door to the lower floor, I was about to ask him to continue going down.
But he saw several zombies behind the young man.
The young man looked at Gan Hu with his eyes widened and his mouth slightly open, looking frightened.
So he said with a smile: "Brother Hu, everything is fine here, I just saw everything."
Immediately afterwards, he saw several other people behind Gan Hu, also looking at him with this expression.
He couldn't help but feel a little confused.
"Behind you!" said a person behind Gan Hu. After saying that, he ran upstairs.
A frightening thought flashed through the young man's mind. He twisted his neck like a machine, trying to look back.
Click——
His neck was instantly bitten by a zombie, and blood gushed out.
Gan Hu watched the young man being bitten to death by zombies, with a trace of horror on his face.
But after two seconds, he regained his composure.
What are you afraid of!
Just kill him!
Looking back, I could have just run away.
He then raised the spear in his hand and said to the people behind him: "Brothers, let's charge! Kill!"
Just at this time.
Ho ho ho——
As if stimulated by the blood, these zombies suddenly burst out roaring.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of floors below roared.
The roars became one.
In addition, the corridor is relatively closed to begin with, so the roars of the zombies continue to echo and then collide, making it sound like there are a lot of zombies.
Damn it!
Gan Hu stopped abruptly and cursed.
Da da da--
Seeing the zombies behind the door about to run over, he immediately turned into the crowd like a fish and ran upstairs.
Too careless.
It almost didn’t flash!
I didn't expect that there were so many zombies in this building. How were they going to get downstairs?
Why!
Sanqing Mountain.
Watching the floodwaters in the valley gradually recede.
Xu Chengcai counted the food in the hut and found that there was still one third of the food left.
During the heavy rain, when we first discovered the warehouse, in order to teach Xiaoyong how to practice swordsmanship, the food supply was a little normal.
However, they could not withstand the consumption later, so they reduced it again.
Xu Chengcai looked at Xiaoyong who had grown two centimeters taller during this period of time while eating these foods that did not have much nutrition, and felt a little sad.
He must find a place that is stable and safe enough for his children to grow up healthily.
They have to leave here and stay here. When all the food is eaten, they will no longer have the strength to leave or go further.
Before leaving, he wanted to go to the top of the mountain to see if there was anything useful on the mountain, and maybe he could find something.
So, he packed his luggage and left some heavier items in the warehouse. He would pick them up when they came back from the mountain, otherwise they would be too tired to climb the mountain.
One morning, they carried their bags and climbed up the mountain.
Lushan.
Close to the long river.
The floodwaters are descending very slowly. Half a month has passed and the floodwaters have only gone halfway. The water level is still relatively high and the roads at the foot of the mountain are still submerged.
You can't leave from here, you have to take that road to go down the mountain.
Dongfeng, Wan Bo and others looked through the autumn water, but they could only wait quietly for the flood to go away.
Big camphor tree base.
the next day.
When the sun just rises,
Construction of the third outer city begins at Dazhangshu Base!
