Dongtai drove the vehicle and followed closely behind the pickup truck of Yu Ming and others.
Their vehicles, one on the left and one on the right, were surrounded.
On the car.
Dongtai looked at Dongfeng and others in the pickup truck in front, and asked Ju Tianrui in the passenger seat: "Batalion Commander, do you think what they said is true or false?"
Ju Tianrui rolled down the car window, and the wind outside the window dispersed the dullness in the car. He kept staring at the vehicle in front, and after a few seconds he said: "Look at those people, there shouldn't be any lies, but there is nothing wrong with them."
Maybe, once we send them to the base and confront Chauvinji face to face, everything will become clear."
"That's true." Dongtai thought for a while and felt that this was also the case.
When the vehicle traveled seven or eight kilometers, Ju Tianrui looked from a 7-story private house next to the national highway. That was their station in the northern part of the Da Zhangshu base.
The pillars upstairs had already seen them. Now they saw the people on Yu Ming's vehicle and Ju Tianrui and others following closely behind, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
With Captain Ju and the others here, it should be fine.
On the car.
Ju Tianrui took out the walkie-talkie and reported the situation to Da Zhangshu Base: "Base Base, I am Ju Tianrui. I have now met the stranger Yu Ming and the others said. According to Dongfeng, the leader of the strange team, they came from
Sha Wenji heard about our base and wanted to come and join us.
We have set off now and we are bringing these people back to the base. Please reply when you receive them."
Dazhangshu base, outer city wall duty room.
The second uncle, Li Yu, Dapao and others are all there.
After receiving the news from Ju Tianrui at this time, the second uncle glanced at Li Yu and seemed to be asking.
Li Yu nodded, and the second uncle pressed the intercom, and then said to Ju Tianrui: "My side is the Da Zhangshu Base. They have been received. You can bring them back."
Ju Tianrui breathed a sigh of relief after hearing his second uncle's reply.
Right now, all we need to do is bring back the strangers in front of us. Li Yu and the others will decide how to deal with it.
On the back of a pickup truck.
Old Dong was sitting outside, holding his luggage in both hands, carefully recalling the Ju Tianrui he had just seen. He felt a little familiar, but for a while he couldn't remember where he had seen him before.
So he kicked Liu Youguang, who was sitting opposite.
Liu Youguang, like him, was the survivor near Chang City at the beginning. In order to avoid the threat of the Corpse Whisperers and because he heard that Chengzizhoutou was a good place, he went together.
However, Liu Youguang was not as lucky as his own family. When he went there, he was a family of four, but when he left, he was left alone.
Later, there was turmoil in Chengzi Island, and after experiencing a high temperature and natural disaster, they discovered that Chengzi Island was not as good as they imagined. Not only was there no food for them, they were even imprisoned in it, forcing them to work and fight off zombies.
I imagined it was heaven, but when I got there, I realized it was purgatory.
Many people died of starvation or heat, but Gan Shang didn't care at all.
Later, Gan Gaojie disappeared and Xiao Jun left.
At that time, Gan Shang could often go to the Western Alliance to transport food back to Chengzizhoutou.
At that time, Zhou, Liu and four other companies were still in the Western Conference.
There was a boom in slave trading in the Western Alliance, so Gan Shang took advantage of the food shortage in the refugee camp and exchanged a bushel of millet for one person to lure these slaves back to the Western Alliance for sale.
At that time, Lao Dong's daughter almost sold herself to beg for food for her family.
Later, he was stopped by Azheng, the son of Lao Dong. The weak Lao Dong said that he would rather starve the whole family to death than sell his daughter. He made this decision, which prevented the tragedy from happening.
after that.
Gan Shang had a huge conflict with Ju Tianrui, who was originally stationed at Chengzizhou. The main reason was that Ju Tianrui never informed Xiao Jun of their whereabouts.
During the conflict, Gan Shang did not dare to have a direct conflict with Ju Tianrui because Ju Tianrui was equipped with a firearm.
Ju Tianrui has long been dissatisfied with Gan Shang for deceiving survivors, enslaving them, imprisoning them, and even killing them.
So we took the opportunity to open the Chengzizhoutou city gate and let those in the refugee camp who were willing to leave leave.
Lao Dong and Liu Youguang also left the refugee camp at that time.
I returned to Chang City. At that time, because the Corpse Whisperers in the north were eliminated by the Great Zhangshu Base, there was no longer the threat and forced worship of the Corpse Whisperers.
The east wind around Poyang Lake led thousands of people to plant crops beside Poyang Lake. Thanks to the fertile land around the lake and sufficient water sources, there were no major natural disasters at that time.
The Poyang Lake base is prospering day by day, and it continues to absorb surrounding survivors, and everything is developing in a better direction.
At this time, Lao Dong and Liu Youguang joined in and survived.
In Chengzizhou, since there was no longer any restriction from Ju Tianrui, Gan Shang became more arrogant and treated the refugees who stayed even more rudely.
Gan Shang even allowed his men to indulge in numerous burning, killing and looting incidents in the Chengzizhoutou refugee camp.
These refugees wanted to leave and regretted why they didn't leave in the first place, but it was too late.
Soon after.
A super disaster is coming.
The sun was blazing, there had been no rain for months, there was an extreme drought, and there was a serious water shortage. Although zombies were basically invisible during the day, the extreme lack of water left the survivors facing the dilemma of dying of thirst.
Then, in the hot weather, the global temperature rose, and the ultra-high temperature suddenly soared to 60 or 70 degrees.
Continued warming later led to numerous volcanic eruptions around the world.
This opens up the dark sky.
Immediately afterwards, volcanic ash particles rise to the very high stratosphere as the volcano erupts.
The stratosphere is relatively stable, so the volcanic ash will not dissipate in a short period of time and will continue to spread with the atmosphere. The volcanic ash in the atmosphere blocks sunlight, so the temperature will drop accordingly, and global warming will be alleviated.
But because this is not the eruption of one volcano, nor the eruption of ten volcanoes, but the eruption of hundreds of volcanoes around the world.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! When the volcano erupted, it caused earthquakes in some seismic zones, and the lava flooded the villages, farmland, trees, and everything near the volcano.
After the volcano erupted, the temperature began to drop, and volcanic ash flew for two weeks. The world was completely plunged into darkness, and the darkness lasted for several months.
It only took a month for the temperature to go from 60 to 70 degrees above zero to 60 to 70 degrees below zero.
During this period, we also experienced highly corrosive acid rain, which increased the attack power of zombies.
Zombies are constantly attacking human gathering places. Often, the larger the gathering place, the larger the scale of the zombies, and the greater the impact the gathering place will receive.
In the darkness, the global temperature dropped, snow fell, and the whole world fell into a land of ice and snow.
When this terrible natural disaster passes, the sun comes out and the temperature rises.
The previous snow melted, and the snow water encountered heavy rainstorms for thousands of years, causing the dam to collapse and the flood to flood the lower reaches of the Yangtze River.
Before the flood, due to heavy losses in the previous natural disaster, the population dropped from more than a thousand people to only a few dozen people.
Therefore, Dongfeng led the remaining twenty or so people to Lushan Mountain to escape the zombies, thus avoiding the flood disaster, otherwise all of them would have died in this natural disaster.
There were more than 1,000 people, but now there are only 27 people. Their journey has been too difficult. On average, only one person among dozens of people can survive.
Lao Dong and Liu Youguang were lucky and survived with difficulty.
The reason why they have been able to persevere and not give up is because they have the belief to live in their hearts. In such desperate times, they will grasp any glimmer of hope in their hands.
The rumored Da Zhangshu Base is like that life-saving straw that must be grasped tightly.
On the back of a pickup truck.
Liu Youguang had a weathered look on his face and an unkempt beard. He felt someone kicked him on his leg. He raised his head and saw that it was Lao Dong.
"What are you doing?" Liu Youguang asked in a hoarse voice.
Lao Dong looked behind the car, but because he was not in the last pickup truck, he could not see the electric car following him, and naturally he could not see Ju Tianrui in the car.
"Do those people following you feel familiar to you? Do they look like the camp commander and others in Chengzi Island?" Lao Dong asked.
After all, it was thanks to Ju Tianrui that they left Chengzizhou Head. When they left, they also saw Ju Tianrui and had some impressions of him.
Memories flashed in Liu Youguang's eyes. After a long time, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "Hey! It's true. I didn't look carefully just now, but now that I think about it, it really looks like it. At that time, they left from Chengzizhou,
It’s very possible that he also came to the Da Zhangshu base, so it makes sense!”
Old Dong saw that Liu Youguang, like himself, was somewhat familiar with Ju Tianrui, so he was inseparable from him.
When Ju Tianrui first appeared just now, Old Dong felt a little familiar, but before he could take a closer look, he got in the car after chatting for a few words. Now that he thinks about it, the more he thinks about it, the more he looks like him.
Ju Tianrui didn't remember them, after all, there were so many in the refugee camp, and most of them were in ragged clothes and had dirty faces, so it was impossible to tell what they looked like.
The more the old Dong thought about it, the more excited he became. This was not just about seeing an acquaintance, but more importantly, if that person was really Ju Tianrui, at least one thing could be inferred: the Da Zhangshu Base would not be bad.
They knew Gan Shang's character, and they also knew Ju Tianrui's character. Ju Tianrui left because of his disagreement with Gan Shang.
Ju Tianrui has an upright personality and is relatively righteous.
If he takes the initiative to join a force, then that force must be better than Chengzizhoutou.
Thinking of this, Old Dong became even more happy, and Liu Youguang, who was sitting on the ground, also came over.
Others sitting in the car heard the discussion between the two and asked about it.
Everyone who was sitting in the car and didn't know what the big camphor tree base was like felt like they had received a reassurance in their hearts.
Liu Youguang looked at the car behind and said, "It's a pity that Boss Dongfeng and Wan Bo are not in the same car as us. Otherwise, we could tell them the good news, and they will be very happy when they know it."
Old Dong was much calmer, and said faintly: "Don't worry, I'm not sure whether that person is Ju Tianrui yet. I'll wait until we get to the big camphor tree base, and we'll find a chance to ask again after we get off the car."
Liu Youguang suddenly asked: "Do you want to talk to Dongfeng and the others first?"
"Let me tell you, it was Dongfeng who took us in in the first place. Otherwise, we would have had nowhere to go when we came out of Chengzi Island, and it would be difficult for us to survive until now." Old Dong said without hesitation.
"Yeah." Liu Youguang nodded in agreement.
More than ten kilometers, less than twenty minutes.
They arrived at the national highway outside the Da Zhangshu base.
Along the way, they saw two teams in the car, and the empty cars passed them by.
Looking at those teams, they should be familiar with the people who brought them with them. They couldn't help but be a little surprised. There seemed to be a lot of people in the Da Zhangshu base, but what they didn't know was that, strictly speaking, these people were not big people.
The people at Zhangshu Base are just collaborators.
soon.
They wanted to drive from the national highway to the rural road.
But less than 20 meters after entering the rural road, there is a fence in front. This fence is open at this time, and the fence is very simple.
On both sides of the rural road, there are several huge cement pipes, filled with sand and soil, and then an iron fence is placed in the gap between the cement pipes.
At night, you only need to push the cement pipe on one side and insert the cement pipe in the other direction of the road to form a fence.
During the day, all you need to do is pull the iron fence out from one side of the cement pipe.
In addition, they also used wooden fences on some relatively wide areas of the national highway.
However, these wooden fences are unevenly distributed. Some are high and some are steep, but some are low.
Moreover, these fences are uneven, some are higher and some are shorter, but most of them are only about one and a half meters high.
The most important thing is that these logs were dug into the ground and then erected firmly.
There are even places where abandoned vehicles are used as fences.
It's sparse and doesn't seem to be very protective.
Just seeing these fences, they felt that one person could climb through them.
When Dongfeng and others in the car saw these wooden fences, their hearts twitched. They felt that this big camphor tree base was not worthy of its name.
This defensive power alone is not as good as the wall they had at Poyang Lake at that time.
At least that wall is still made of bricks, and the height is one meter higher than this one.
Disappointed, very disappointed.
After Dongfeng saw these extremely crude fences, he no longer had hope for the Da Zhangshu Base.
"Uncle Wan, it seems that this Da Zhangshu base is not as good as we thought. Look at this fence, it is really too crude. I suspect that once a larger zombie wave breaks out, these fences will collapse immediately." Dongfeng
He smiled bitterly and said to Wan Bo.
Wan Bo didn't speak, but the light in his eyes dimmed a lot. He sighed, and his whole person seemed to have lost all energy.
They feel hopeless, disappointed and sad.
They have gone through so many hardships and finally have hope. They have walked from such a far place and are about to reach the destination.
But the fences they saw in reality gave them a heavy blow.
How great is the hope, how great is the disappointment.
They felt extremely disappointed, and they were as despondent as eggplants beaten by frost.
In their minds, the Da Zhangshu base was labeled as not safe enough.
The most important aspect of a base is security.
If a base is not secure enough, then there is no need to talk about anything.
Once a zombie wave appears, the base will be doomed.
Lao Dong and Liu Youguang in the pickup truck in front were a little happy at first, but now they became depressed after seeing such a crude fence.
After seeing the simple fence, other people in the car also started talking about it.
"It seems that we came here in vain. Alas, I originally thought that this big camphor tree base was very powerful, but this fence is beyond words."
"Hey, what should we do next?"
Someone else said: "Maybe it's because of the previous heavy rains and floods. This is just a temporary fence they built?"
But as soon as he said this, he was immediately opposed by another person: "It shouldn't be so simple. You said they all have guns. Why is this fence so crudely built? I don't understand, I really can't figure it out.
Understand."
Old Dong also rubbed his eyebrows.
But what they don't know is that these fence bins were not built under Li Yu's order, but were built on their own initiative by the collaborators and non-staff members.
Ever since Li Yu ordered the non-staff personnel to come in during a heavy rainstorm, several non-staff teams began to choose to station themselves in private houses near the Da Zhangshu base.
After several times, more and more non-staff personnel chose to station near the Da Zhangshu base.
Later, during the recent natural disaster that lasted for several months, Li Yu asked his collaborators and non-staff members to take refuge in the greenhouse. They experienced high temperatures, extreme cold, volcanoes, acid rain, zombie waves, heavy rains, and floods.
Their sense of belonging to the Big Zhangshu Base is getting stronger and stronger. Although the Big Zhangshu Base does not directly provide them with food, at least without the shelter of the Big Zhangshu Base, it would be difficult for them to survive.
As a result, many people, whether they were non-staff personnel or cooperative personnel, began to choose to be stationed near the Da Zhangshu base.
Just in the previous natural disaster, many trees died, so they spontaneously built some trees into fences in some flat and wide areas.
After all, they do not live within the walls of the Da Zhangshu Base, but in private houses outside. There will still be some zombies appearing at night.
These fences are mainly located near the national highway, and there are relatively few in other places. They are not completely enclosed and sealed, so their effect is limited. At night, some zombies will still enter.
But for them, these fences set up on flat roads can play a slight blocking role, which is enough.
However, Dongfeng and the others thought that after entering the rural road and passing through the simple fence, they had entered the Da Zhangshu Base.
It is exactly half past twelve.
Among them, the collaborators and non-staff involved in the construction of the Third Outer City all ate at the construction site of the Third Outer City.
People who did not participate in the construction and chose to search and transport construction materials in exchange for food and points were busy searching for transportation outside.
Therefore, it is rare to see two or three people in private houses on rural roads.
After being soaked by heavy rains and floods, the skins of these houses fell off, and even the steel bars and bricks inside were exposed.
As the temperature rises, some ferns take root and sprout in the gaps.
In the eyes of Dongfeng and Wanbo, they were disappointed after seeing the fence and thought they had arrived at the Da Zhangshu base.
When I saw the inside of the Da Zhangshu Base, there were very few people in sight, and the dilapidated building added a filter, making it look even more unsatisfactory.
That's it?
Wan Bo sighed and shook his head again and again. He couldn't help but wonder, how could the big camphor tree base that Sha Wenji praised so much back then be so dilapidated?
Could it be that it was affected by heavy rains and floods? Wan Bo thought this. After thinking about it, he felt it was a bit more reasonable.
"It seems that they were also greatly affected by the flood!" Dongfeng said with emotion.
