Although the seemingly proactive declaration of war in advance makes people excited, there is still a long way to go from the declaration of war to a more thorough and comprehensive implementation.
The so-called war mobilization order only nominally reminded people across the country not to be soft-hearted when seeing rats.
But if humans want to kill rats, they can still only use various traditional methods in the past, and rat poison, rat traps, rat cages, rat traps and other sticky boards are completely ineffective.
New rat poisons, infectious disease weapons, and other imaginative means that are very beautiful still remain in theory and have not yet been transformed into reality.
Various experiments have been carried out, but to no avail.
The second domestication of cats, natural enemies of rats, by humans is still not on the horizon.
Traveling around here may be quite far.
The re-domestication of other animals such as snakes, mustelids, owls, etc. has not yet been established, and there is no relevant announcement in the "Guide".
As for the more difficult task of domesticating insects, not to mention, there are not even any signs of progress.
After Zhou You settled down at home, he accompanied his father to organize a regular morning meeting, mainly to report on the progress of yesterday's various plans and to carefully re-plan today's actions.
The material transport work at the club building has not yet been completed and must continue.
Zhou Lingsheng's arrangement was that everything must be completed in the morning, and at least the contents of three Zhou family-owned vehicles must be vacated so that these three vehicles can move again.
As for the three container trucks allocated by the county, I'm afraid they will have to continue to be put on hold while we slowly figure out how to do it.
There are too many things inside, and there are many pieces of equipment weighing hundreds of kilograms or even one ton. It is really difficult to move them. It will definitely not be vacated for a while. There is no point in rushing. Things can only be done one by one.
Click to do.
"Manpower is now needed for production tasks at home, as well as porters in the club building and further strengthening of the sealing work. We are indeed short of human resources at the moment. Considering that the club building provides a larger living space, I think it is
It’s time to further expand the population.”
"In the morning, only a few combatants were left to guard the Yulong Club, and all other combatants were dispatched. In the battle last night, the grassroots construction workers showed good combat effectiveness, and there is no need to occupy a large number of elite combat forces."
"The main direction of action of the professional combatants is divided into two parts. The elite combat force follows the traveling operations. The main task is to contact the county public security system to clear out residential areas where there are scattered trapped people, and at the same time to rescue the Zhou family.
The members are still scattered among their relatives and friends."
"The ordinary combat force is responsible for going to various gathering points to pick up those who are willing to join us, as well as relatives and friends who are also members of the Zhou family, but are still staying at the gathering points. Today's goal is to quickly increase the total population to
Two thousand people!”
"At the same time, we must complete the selection of a new batch of combatants tonight and expand the combat team to 400 people. We must also reserve corresponding equipment and build a residence in the club building. Okay, the plan has been finalized.
Act now!”
Zhou Lingsheng issued a summary order.
Everyone immediately started to move on their own.
As the commander-in-chief of the outgoing combatants, Zhou You first integrated the existing equipment.
Yesterday, the Zhou family's military equipment could arm approximately 130 people, but production has never stopped.
By the time we closed down the team at 10:30 last night, a new batch of equipment had been assembled, and hundreds more people could be armed.
However, the total amount is still only over 200, which is still far from 400.
Therefore, the total output planned by Zhou Lingsheng today is actually as high as 170 pieces of equipment.
Not only that, experience is always accumulated in battles, so equipment is also evolving at any time.
Zhou Lingsheng also hopes that more single-person assist bunkers and small micro armored vehicles can be produced today.
The role of these equipment on the frontal battlefield is obvious.
If the combatants who went to the basement yesterday had brought a few armored vehicles, the battle would not have been so difficult.
Therefore, what Zhou Lingsheng wants today is actually a more elite mechanized force, which must be greatly improved in both quality and quantity.
Everyone has a heavy workload and no one has an easy life.
But no one complained.
In any case, the Zhou family lived another day.
Some people sacrificed, some died, and some were injured, but life and survival must go on.
To borrow the words of a primary school teacher responsible for training children, that is, "We see the sun rising again. We can remember the past and grieve for the dead, but we cannot bury ourselves in grief. The harder the road ahead, the more difficult it is to
The more hardships we face, the more we have to bear the burden and move forward.”
Half an hour later, in the courtyard of the Zhou family villa, Zhou You and the fighting members gathered briefly and began to disperse.
The team led by Zhou You is the most elite, including himself and ten other elite soldiers, as well as two medical staff, Dr. Lin Ziying and Li Xiaoling.
This elite team will use Langya II to operate in the air. Zhou You's mission is to go to various scattered locations in the county. He will fulfill his promise and disperse the internal members who have joined the Zhou family to the relatives and friends left behind.
Take it over.
Today, three more sets of airbags were added to the Langya 2 airship, and the estimated load capacity increased by a little more than two kilograms. Part of the frame structure was replaced with carbon fiber rods glued together last night.
The entire airship has undergone a new lightweight transformation, and the maximum number of people allowed has been increased to 30 people.
The team that went to the government resettlement site to pick up the people was led by Yuan Yike, and there were more than 30 combatants, most of whom were quasi-veterans who had only experienced yesterday's battle. This team will use the uncle's
Hybrid MPV.
In the afternoon, after the transportation work at Yulong Club has come to an end, Yuan Yike's team will be divided into three, taking the construction workers and the new members who may be recruited today, using three vehicles to continue to sweep the surrounding area.
remaining pavement in the area.
Luo Xun, the newly promoted transgressor, will lead another elite team composed of more than thirty veterans.
Sun Yingjun and Tang Dahe jointly lead another team of veterans.
The mission of these two teams is to raid communities in the county that have not yet had time to conduct in-depth surveys and only use airships to count the distribution of people.
Jiang Qianyun, with more than thirty other prospective recruits, continued to sit in the Yulong Club Building.
In addition to these formal troops, some members of the Zhou family have another mission team today.
This team will be led by the traveling uncle and second uncle, and will also bring along a small number of relatives of the Zhou family.
They will drive their traveling hybrid SUV back to Guangming Township.
There are three main things to do when I return to Guangming Township this time.
First, exchange some supplies with the head of Guangming Township, Liu Mingsheng. What can be given to the other party are mainly partially replaced outdated equipment, a small-power portable tire air pump, and some micro high-pressure pumps welded by the Zhou family's welders.
Gas tanks, and ten Langya No. 1 airships produced by the Zhou family themselves. Of course, the Zhou family will also take away some fresh vegetables, pork and other agricultural products from Guangming Township.
In fact, yesterday, Guangming Township had received ten Langya No. 1 airships allocated by the county, and also tried to imitate Langya No. 2. But unfortunately, Guangming Township also received hydrogen storage tanks.
resources, but I didn’t have that many rechargeable fans at hand, so I could only modify the human propeller by myself, but the processing accuracy was not enough, and the pieces made were fragmentary and not reliable enough. I almost killed a test pilot, so I finally gave up and gave up.
Imitation, and pinned hope on the Zhou family.
Second, a group of people who wanted to enter the city gathered at the Guangming Township Police Station, and the number of this group reached 300. Various settlements in the county also reported that more than 200 people wanted to return to Guangming Township.
Third, cousin Yin Xiuwen, who had returned to Dragon Taming Township two days ago and completed the integration of all surviving family members trapped in the countryside, finally thought about it, or was finally persuaded by other family members and decided to take him with him.
A team of more than 300 people joined the Zhou family collectively.
Since the "Guide" APP was launched, it has become popular all over the country and can be installed on almost every smartphone that can be turned on.
Although communication in rural areas is not that convenient, thanks to the country's heavy investment in communication infrastructure in recent years, mobile phone signal coverage is sufficient. Even if there is no 5G signal, mobile phones can still connect to the Internet through 4G or 3G networks.
Cousin Yin Xiuwen glanced at an important notice related to Zhou You in the "Guide" almost every other day. Seeing Zhou Yu's meteoric rise, how could he still not understand how much of a thick thigh he had missed.
Yin Xiuwen thought to himself that if he didn't hurry up, he was afraid that in a few days, his distant relatives, who clearly had the blood advantage, would be completely marginalized after joining the Zhou family.
He then looked at the various airships, war tools, standard armors, and various weapons published by the Zhou family in the "Guide", and then looked at the increasingly precarious life of people like himself in the countryside. It was really not a pleasant experience.
That is, last night, Yin Xiuwen heard something particularly terrible.
After a small family that lived far away from the countryside and had a total population of hundreds of people was killed by a large group of crazy rats that appeared out of nowhere, Yin Xiuwen and others were really shocked.
It's unstable.
In the face of life, the old house, the land, and the soft goods at home are of no importance.
If you save the land and lose the people, everyone and the land will be lost; if you save the people and lose the land, everyone and the land will survive.
This simple and obvious truth can be understood to some extent even by farmers who have never read a book.
When calling the Zhou family, Yin Xiuwen was worried about being rejected.
After all, the blood relationship between the two families is indeed far away, and they are not very close, and it is not easy to travel from Lelai County to Guangming Township and Taming Long Township to pick up someone.
But what he didn't expect was that after receiving the call, Zhou Lingsheng immediately made arrangements and even asked the head of Guangming Township Liu Mingsheng to arrange for an electric vehicle from the police station to pick up Yin Xiuwen in advance at the expense of a small loss in material exchange.
He and his family, let them wait in Guangming Township first.
The Zhou family also immediately arranged for people to leave.
The other party was so interesting, so Yin Xiuwen was naturally grateful.
Zhou Lingsheng only asked the other party not to be so polite, and emphasized again that we are all family members and should not say a word.
…
On the Langya 2 airship, Zhou You discussed today's specific course of action with an assistant he had just appointed.
This assistant is named Gao Jianguo.
He also has a younger brother named Gao Zhanying.
The two brothers took the initiative to join the Zhou family on the second day after returning to the county town from traveling. When they were leading a team to pick up other members, including Dr. Luo, they were influenced by the popularity of the county government's publicity.
And when Zhou You first selected combatants, these two brothers were both selected to become elite combatants because of their good performance.
Although the two Gao brothers are not as dazzling as Tang Dahe, they are still a step above other elite team members.
In the early years, human-powered tricycles were very popular in Lelai County. The brothers' families were poor and did not support their education. They entered the county town before they reached the age of eighteen and rode tricycles with their elders.
With this one step, almost twenty years have passed.
This kind of career experience has allowed the brothers to repeatedly visit every inch of land in the county.
As they walked through the streets and alleys, the brothers knew almost every street and neighborhood in the county.
Relying on these two tricycles, the brothers married, had children, and took root in the county. It cannot be said that they lived a good life, but at least they earned a third of an acre of land to survive.
They thought that they would be stuck on the bench of a human-powered three-wheeler for the rest of their lives, pedaling until the day they could no longer pedal.
But ordinary people cannot resist the tide of the times. A few years ago, with the gradual rise of electric three-wheelers, human-powered three-wheelers slowly faded out of the stage of history.
The brothers initially followed what others had done and installed batteries and electric motors under their own human-powered tricycles.
This makes their work a lot easier, but sometimes they feel that a car that does not rely on pedals is boring and soulless.
However, electric three-wheelers were not popular for a few years before they were completely stopped due to a casualty accident caused by an explosion of inferior batteries.
One night ago, the electric three-wheelers that could be seen everywhere on the county streets disappeared without a trace, and were replaced by more and more personal online ride-hailing services.
The brothers lost the tools and ability to make a living, but their children had just entered college.
This is the embodiment of the powerlessness of ordinary people under the torrent of the times.
It was at this time that the food delivery industry was slowly emerging. The desperate brothers Gao Jianguo and Gao Zhanying anxiously bought a second-hand battery scooter each and embarked on the road of becoming food delivery riders.
Unexpectedly, thanks to their good physiques developed through years of riding three wheels and their familiarity with the county's terrain, the two brothers became star delivery riders.
Over the past few years, the two not only sent their children to college, but even scraped together enough down payment to buy two off-plan houses next to each other in the county town.
Of course, the two off-plan properties were naturally unfinished.
The two families are still living in a rented apartment three miles away, eagerly waiting to move into a new house.
Just when the two brothers and their families were in despair, the human race shrank.
The bad luck that happened before suddenly became irrelevant.
Keeping his wife, children and parents alive has become the overriding priority.
Although years of hard work at the bottom failed to broaden the brothers' horizons, it gave them a wonderful survival instinct and sense of smell.
So when Zhou You led a rescue team for the first time, the two men seized the opportunity, joined the team decisively, and worked extra hard.
When traveling around to select combatants, the two brothers, who were already 43 and 41 years old respectively, showed off their physical advantages unscrupulously.
During yesterday's battle, the Gao brothers were also trapped below with Yuan Yike, and they persisted in fighting until the end, never flinching throughout the process, and only suffered minor injuries.
It could be a minor injury, but it's not like the brothers were cheating on each other.
The defensive pressure these two bear is even greater than that of He Zhongyou and Yuan Yike, but they can bear it.
The amazing endurance of the two brothers is even more evident, and their character is also reliable.
In view of this, Zhou You promoted Gao Jianguo today and made him the second commander of his team.
As for his younger brother Gao Zhanying, Zhou You plans to suppress him a little.
It wasn't that Gao Zhanying was lacking in ability, but that Zhou Lingsheng told Zhou You that the two brothers were connected to each other and absolutely shared the same hatred.
Moreover, they have always been at the bottom of society and their mentality is not stable enough.
Unless absolutely necessary, both brothers should not be promoted to high positions quickly, otherwise they will easily become addicted to power and bring over bad habits such as the territorial consciousness that they developed in the past during the three rounds of turf wars to compete for customers.
Zhou You did not object to his father's decision and chose to follow Ruliu's advice.
"Mr. Zhou, this is where our poor people used to live. They are all old houses, and the alleys are relatively narrow. There are many telephone poles, and all kinds of wires and network cables are stretched as densely as fishing nets. We will get here later.
When you go to rescue someone, you must be careful, otherwise if you touch a wire and spark a spark, you will be in big trouble. A few years ago, when fireworks were not banned, I saw a quilt selling hydrogen balloons on the street.
The quiver ignited at once, and the fire burned it into a big fireball in a second."
Gao Jianguo didn't know the deep thoughts of the Zhou family and his son. After finalizing the route, he still diligently dug out important information from his memory.
Zhou You nodded, "Yes, I understand, thank you for reminding me."
"Oh, by the way. There is an old man who used to pull a cart with me and my brother, who lives on West Street. I contacted him before, and he said that he, his wife and grandchildren are still stuck at home. The government said today
I will go to rescue him, but he himself can't decide whether to go to the government or come to us. If we can finish our work early today, can we go and find him on the way? I really want to talk to him in person and invite him.
He also came over. That old man is a nice guy, ten years older than me. When we were young, it was all because of him that we didn't get bullied by those gangsters."
Zhou You nodded, "Okay, it's not a big deal."
After the business was finalized, Gao Jianguo gradually started talking.
Zhou You also accompanied him here and there, chatting casually.
