In the mountain forest, yellow solar street lights shine, making the originally dark forest soft and no longer scary.
Li Yu continued:
"The zombie generators in the base are very useful now. I will also think of ways to recruit some talents in electrical machinery, especially those in the field of electrification, to use the power generated by the zombies continuously. I believe the future is promising."
Under the illumination of the street lamp, Li Yu's eyes were filled with light.
The third uncle nodded and said: "Actually, diesel vehicles do not necessarily have to use diesel, peanut oil, used waste oil, etc. can be used."
Li Yu smiled bitterly and said: "I know, but it's too extravagant. One acre of land can produce 1,000 kilograms of peanuts, and the oil yield rate is only 44%. That is, one acre of land can only produce 440 kilograms of peanut oil. 100 kilograms of peanut oil is equivalent to
At 117 liters.
440 pounds of peanut oil is equivalent to 514 liters.
With more than 500 liters of oil, it can only run 1,500 kilometers.
It takes four months to grow peanuts for one season, four months per acre of land, and the oil produced can only drive a car 1,500 kilometers.
No matter how you calculate it, it’s such a loss.”
Li Yu had already settled this debt.
So replacing diesel with peanuts grown at the base is too luxurious.
There are only two ways now, find more diesel, or find oil to refine.
Or use zombie generators, and then find ways to recruit some experts in electrification to transform some electric trucks.
The two of them were walking on the mountain road and chatting.
It wasn't until ten minutes later that the two reached the top of the mountain, overlooking the entire base.
The solar street lights on the base road look like stars hanging in the sky, forming a beautiful picture.
The big camphor tree in the center of the inner city is extremely conspicuous.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can also overlook the outer city.
If you go up to the watchtower on the top of the mountain, you can see farther away.
They blew the wind on the top of the mountain for a while and then went down the mountain.
The final time to set off again has been agreed upon. We will have a day off tomorrow and Uncle San will lead the team to set off again the day after tomorrow.
It’s just that this time we set out, we will bring more people and more cars with us.
Western Conference.
Since Gan Hu came back, he had a big meal and drank a lot, and then told Gan Xiong and Qian Long about what happened along the way and the news about the destruction of his third brother Gan Shang and Chengzi Zhoutou.
Gan Xiong's face was extremely ugly. He had thought that Laosan's side would be affected by natural disasters, but he did not expect that someone would dare to kill them.
The veins on his forehead popped.
"You said that when you were in Chengzizhoutou, the license plate numbers of the people you caught and the group of people who killed Shang'er were mainly from Gan City?" Gan Xiong asked Gan Hu again
road.
Gan Hu nodded heavily and replied: "Yes, I heard it clearly. Yao Zuo was also nearby, and he heard it too."
Yao Zuo, who was not sitting on the sofa but had his hands in front of him, nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it too. It seems that those people are in Gan Xiong."
."
"Yeah." Gan Xiong responded with a sound from his nostrils.
But he did not express his position immediately, nor did he say that he would take people to Ganshi to search for him.
He just suddenly got up from the sofa and looked out the window.
Qianlong's face in the room was so gloomy that he seemed to be dripping with water.
He never expected that his third brother would be gone just like that.
Wayne, Lao Zhuang and others in the room did not dare to take a breath and looked nervously at Gan Xiong by the window.
They were also a little shocked, shocked by who had the courage to kill their Western Alliance members.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be solidifying. Wayne and the others stood nearby without daring to breathe, for fear of accidentally setting themselves on fire and becoming the angry ones.
Bang!
Gan Hu threw the tea cup in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "Dad, brother, this revenge must be avenged! No matter how far away we are, we must kill them!"
Qianlong clenched his fists. After hearing what his second brother said, he couldn't help but said to his father by the window: "The second brother is right, the third brother's revenge must be avenged!"
Hearing the always steady Qianlong speak like this, Wayne and Lao Zhuang in the room looked at each other with incomprehensible expressions in their eyes.
They are not members of the Gan family, but their wealth and lives are also bound to the hands of the Gan family. They will both be prosperous and suffer losses.
However, as the people who personally manage the base, they are very clear about the current situation of the Western Alliance.
In the current base, after the Zhou and Liu families defected and left, a large number of manpower was lost in the high temperature and cold of the last volcano, and the western wall collapsed.
Before they could take a breath, it rained heavily again, causing great damage to them.
When Gan Hu came back, they had just repaired the cracks in the east wall caused by the heavy rain.
All the food in the base now combined can only sustain them for three or four months.
If their population hadn't dropped sharply to just over 2,000 people, they would have estimated that their food supply would have been even tighter.
The key thing is that their bullets are almost exhausted.
Outside the base, we have searched for food that can be found around us for several rounds, but we can't find much food.
So they recently tried to find a way to start planting crops again in the base. However, the crops they planted could not meet the needs of their more than 2,000 people.
Moreover, depending on the nature of the weather throughout the previous year, there might be some extreme high temperature or cold, which would definitely have an impact on the crop harvest.
Food has become a knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time.
At this time, the Western Conference is no longer what it was a year ago.
Under such circumstances, if troops are sent to travel a long distance to take revenge, it will definitely consume a lot of manpower and food.
Objectively speaking, it would be unwise to take revenge in the past at this critical moment.
Both Qian Long and Gan Hu spoke, but Gan Xiong, who was standing by the window, had his back to everyone, and everyone could not see his face, and they did not know what to deduce from his expression what he was thinking.
Gan Hu never had much patience, and now he saw that his father was silent.
So he said anxiously: "Dad, please give the order. What exactly do you think?"
There was a hint of disappointment in his tone, but he was more anxious, fearing that his father would not be willing to support his idea of revenge.
In the Gan family, Gan Xiong always speaks his mind, and no one can influence the things he decides.
Throughout the Western Alliance, Gan Xiong was also the one who firmly held power in his own hands.
If we want to send troops out, we must get Gan Xiong's permission.
for a long time.
Only then did Gan Xiong turn his head, his brows furrowed into a "Chuan" shape. His face, which was already full of white hair, now looked even more haggard.
He glanced at Gan Hu and Qian Long, his eyes full of pain.
A man with white hair gives a gift to a man with black hair, not to mention that Xiao Shang is his most beloved son.
Regret, regret, regret that I shouldn't have sent Gan Shang to Chengzi Island in order to sharpen him.
But the boat has been made, and it's too late.
He slowly walked to the desk, suddenly turned around and asked Gan Hu and Yao Zuo: "Do they have guns? How many are there?"
Yao Zuo saw Gan Xiong looking at him with questioning eyes.
He quickly said: "The man's original words were: He heard a burst of gunfire in the distance. He was afraid at the time and did not dare to show his head. When those people evacuated, he took a look."
"Yeah" Gan Xiong fell silent.
Gan Hu and Qian Long looked at him expectantly, waiting for him to give orders.
Gan Xiong sighed, and after a long time he said: "Let's do this, Xiaolong, you take 300 people, bring the most experienced people in the base, Wayne and Yao Zuo, and you go together.
The most important thing is that after arriving there, you are not allowed to act rashly until you have a clear understanding of the enemy's situation. If the enemy is too strong, don't hesitate and come back directly.
If you are not strong, you should not go head-to-head. You should only be smart and not reckless. On this point, Xiaolong, you must listen to Yao Zuo's advice honestly.
Apart from anything else, if you discover their base, it would be a good idea if you can lure some zombies there and consume the enemy's strength."
Gan Xiong finally made this decision.
He actually knew very well that this decision was not rational.
The journey is long. Just this trip, taking 300 people to drive there, consumes one-fifth of their current inventory of diesel.
But that was his most beloved child after all. If he died at the mouth of a zombie or a natural disaster, he wouldn't be so angry.
However, he died in the hands of others, how could he bear it?
After Gan Xiong finished speaking, Yao Zuo and Wayne quickly held their hands and said, "Okay, we understand."
Gan Hu, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Gan Xiong with disbelief and asked, "Dad, where am I?"
"Don't go, just stay well in the base." Gan Xiong covered his forehead and waved his hand and said to him.
"Why, I don't, why?" Gan Hu asked angrily and somewhat incoherently.
He couldn't figure out why his elder brother was allowed to go but not himself.
He wanted to kill his enemy with his own hands to avenge his third brother.
Gan Xiong said impatiently: "You are not stable enough, and it is easy to alert others. If those people are strong, you will have to tell them where they are, so be careful. Our base can no longer withstand big troubles.
well."
Gan Xiong sighed helplessly, his tone cold.
His words were like an invisible slap on Gan Hu's face.
It's hard to hear, but it's true.
After Gan Hu heard this, his expression became uncertain.
He beat his chest and swore to Gan Xiong: "Dad, don't worry, I will never be impulsive. I can guarantee that, just let me go with you."
The last sentence contained a hint of prayer in his tone.
"No!" Gan Xiong replied quickly without any hesitation in his tone.
It seems that he has made up his mind.
Seeing Gan Xiong like this, Yao Zuo and Wayne looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, after running so far and facing an enemy whose strength they didn't know, they felt guilty and panicked.
Especially Yao Zuo, who went back and forth to Chengzi Island with Gan Hu last time. He had seen Gan Hu's willfulness and impulsiveness.
Although he was able to listen to some opinions sometimes, when Gan Hu was so angry, he completely ignored everything.
Such teammates can easily drag themselves to death.
Both of them noticed each other's happiness in each other's eyes.
After hearing his father's categorical rejection of him without hesitation, Gan Hu kicked the table in front of him away and ran out of the room.
Qianlong sighed slightly.
Then he looked at his father and said to Gan Xiong: "Dad, would it be too much to go with 300 people? It would consume too much fuel, and we have too few bullets."
Gan Xiong finally sat down and motioned to Wayne to close the door.
When Wayne saw this, he immediately walked over and closed the door.
Gan Xiong sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
After taking a sip, he slowly said:
"Xiaohu is not that clear about the situation in the base, but you guys must be. Xiaolong, remember one thing.
In this battle, only victory is allowed, not defeat.
Even if it has passed, as long as you find that the enemy is very strong, you must either retreat or think of a way to see if you can use zombies to defeat them.
But there is a premise, that is, you should not be exposed and don't let them discover our traces. If you can't afford to offend us, come back quickly and preserve your strength.
Therefore, remember one thing. After arriving in Gan City, any survivors found must be controlled immediately and do not leave any trace behind.
If the enemy is not that strong, then you should destroy them as soon as possible, loot their supplies and food, and bring them back.
Our base is in short supply of supplies right now.
"
The reason why Gan Xiong let Qian Long go to Gan City was not only for revenge, but also had another thought, that is, the supplies and food around Cheng City had been plundered many times.
Maybe you can look further afield.
Sometimes, looting is the fastest way to improve your strength.
Qian Long, Wayne, Lao Zhuang, Yao Zuo and others in the room listened quietly to Gan Xiong's words.
He nodded from time to time, asked some questions from time to time, and then Gan Xiong answered them himself.
In this meeting, they chatted for two or three hours.
We discussed the specific execution plan, when to go, which way to go, and what to do first when we get there.
It can be seen that Gan Xiong takes it very seriously this time.
At the end, Gan Xiong said again: "Xiaolong, Wayne, and Yao Zuo, you three will work out a detailed and comprehensive plan in the past two days. Then come and meet me."
The three of them nodded to express their understanding.
Gan Xiong rubbed his eyes and looked extremely tired.
When Qianlong saw this, he stood up quickly and said to his father: "Dad, you can rest first. I will take revenge on my third brother! Yao Zuo, Wayne, you all go down too."
After hearing what Gan Long said, Yao Zuo and Wayne bowed to Gan Xiong and left the room.
Gan Xiong saw that the matter was almost explained, so he waved his hand and asked them to go down first.
At this time, only Gan Xiong, Qian Long and Lao Zhuang were left in the room.
Gan Xiong felt exhausted physically and mentally, and a wave of exhaustion surged up from within his body.
There is a kind of sadness in my heart that is difficult to conceal.
Grandson Gao Jie, son Gan Shang, daughter Gan Min, and son-in-law Gao Ru.
Everyone died.
Although this is the end of the world, the death of a loved one is still a bit unbearable for a 70-year-old man.
His body slumped on the sofa, and his voice was full of weariness: "Lao Zhuang, I remember that there was a base in Yishi before. Later, you can compile the information collected by that base into words and give me a copy."
Gan Hu and the others discovered a force at the winery in Yishi before. It seemed that some food was stored in it, but they didn't bring many people there at that time.
Moreover, the winery was quite powerful, and they did not bring many people with them at the time, so they did not attack by force.
After they returned, before they had time to send more people to search, who would have expected that a torrential rain broke out for more than a month.
Hearing Gan Xiong mention this matter, Lao Zhuang immediately said: "Boss, I have sorted it out and will send it to you early. It's just that the people in that place don't seem to be that simple."
"Yeah." Gan Xiong closed his eyes, noncommittal.
A few seconds later, he spoke again:
"Last time, I asked you to follow the Zhou and Liu families and found that they were in Honghe, Yun Province, right?"
When Lao Zhuang heard the boss's question, he instantly remembered those bleak days. It was so cold, icy and snowy, with weather dozens of degrees below zero that he almost didn't come back alive.
"Yes, the Zhou and Liu families went to a cottage. Unfortunately, it was snowing too much and they were unable to find out what was going on inside." Lao Zhuang said with some shame.
Gan Xiong waved his hand, knowing that Lao Zhuang was already unconscious when he came back.
In that kind of extremely cold weather, it was enough to be able to trace where the Liu family went that week.
Originally, after Lao Zhuang came back, Gan Xiong wanted to send people over there to plunder the place. Unfortunately, the weather changed too quickly. After the temperature rose, there was a heavy rain soon.
After the heavy rain, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He frowned and said quietly: "Xiaolong, when you come back from Gan City, if you don't gain anything, start preparing to go to Yi City or Honghe, Yun Province. Our base can only last a few months.
For the sake of our base, we have to look for supplies from other survivor bases."
Qianlong also knew the current difficulties in the base and said seriously: "Okay, I understand."
Seeing the exhaustion on his father's face, he took a blanket from the stool, put it on his body and said, "Dad, we'll talk about it later. You need to take a good rest first."
"Yeah." Gan Xiong said weakly.
The pain of losing his son made him feel physically and mentally exhausted, as if his soul had been drained out of his whole body.
Looking at his father slowly falling asleep, Qianlong gestured to Lao Zhuang, asking him to go out together and not disturb his father's rest.
Gan Province.
Tai County.
After a night's rest, Dongfeng and the others continued walking south with their injured Dajie.
A large section of one hand was severed, and his face was pale, but he was still alive.
Staggering, Tietou and another person helped him walk.
Behind them, Xu Chengcai and his son followed.
Dongfeng seemed to be aware of it, but could not find any trace at all.
But Xu Chengcai's tracking ability is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
He doesn't need to follow very closely, or even keep a distance of several kilometers away. He can deduce from the surrounding environment and footprints how long the people in front of him have been walking and roughly where they are.
Dongfeng had many thoughts all the way.
He was still a little confused about that bottle of white wine.
He felt it was too unreasonable. This was the end of the world, and after so long, a bottle of liquor was placed under the steps.
Is it luck, accident, or someone is helping them.
I don’t know, but the direction they want to go to the Da Zhangshu Base has never changed.
After several days of trekking, they were not far from Xincheng.
If it's the fastest, maybe we can reach that place the day after tomorrow.

OS: Sorry, I'm in a bit of a bad mood today. It's only 6,000 words for now, but it's equivalent to two or three chapters of some books.
There will be an update tomorrow, at least 15,000.
When I wake up tomorrow, I will sit in front of the computer and code!
At the same time, I would like to thank Mr. Yanhuayu for the 50,000 reward.
I will continue to post updates tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to express my gratitude.
