The temperature has dropped below freezing, maybe even lower.
But the cold weather cannot stop Shuguang's enthusiasm for construction.
To the northeast of the airport and to the north of the Shuguang base site, there is a large piece of wasteland, covering an area of nearly 10,000 acres. Because it is close to the airport, it is not yet in the planning of the new area. At this moment, it is in the midst of a booming land reclamation.
As early as a few days ago, various trees here had been knocked down and cleared, and various weeds had been harvested. Now the machinery has officially entered the site.
The bulldozer leveled the uneven areas, followed by the modified loader. The bucket teeth of the loader were modified into plows. When the loader retreated, strips of land about thirty to forty minutes deep were cleared.
Turned over.
Dozens of Dawn survivors, following behind the plow loader, kept picking up grass roots in the land. The purpose of this was naturally to prevent weeds from growing again in the spring breeze.
There are dozens of people building ridges on the plowed land to facilitate watering in the coming year.
At certain intervals, roads will be reserved for vehicles and equipment to enter.
.......
The construction of the first line of defense has also entered the second half of the stage. Reinforced concrete columns have been poured on the ground, and ferocious barbed wires are tied to them.
The construction of the first line of defense alone is expected to consume most of the iron wire in the new district and the raw materials of three or four concrete mixing plants.
........
Dawn's army is also engaged in a new round of conquest.
According to the instructions of the big leader, each company will cross the first line of defense and open up a passage to Dawn Base in a further direction.
The survivors along the way, even if they are not good people and have done many evil things, will be absorbed as long as they are not ogres.
As for the ogre, there is only one word, "Kill!"
Although the evolution level of ogres is generally high, and they basically encounter second-level strength, under the strong firepower of each company of Dawn, they all have to suffer on the spot.
Of course, in this process, Suguang also encountered some difficulties.
This world will never lack geniuses, nor will it ever lack people with great luck. Although they are not as large as Shuguang, there are still one or two hundred people in size, and there is no shortage of weapons and firearms in their hands.
These forces, after facing the dawn, showed a tenacious sense of resistance.
The concept of being the head of a chicken rather than the queen of a cow is deeply ingrained in the minds of the leaders of every force, so when facing these small forces, Dawn will encounter fierce resistance.
And every Dawn Company, when encountering forces that can be gnawed, will of course follow Luffy's wishes, either by coercion or inducement, to make them surrender to Dawn. If they encounter forces that cannot be gnawed, they will follow the established routes.
Retreating through the passage is Shuguang's advantage. As long as you escape along the passage for a certain distance, the pursuers behind you will give up.
Everyone knows the principle of not pursuing a poor enemy.
In addition, compared to other small forces, Dawn has highly mobile armored vehicles. As long as it retreats to the opened road, it can retreat quickly, leaving the enemy behind.
Then report to the Shuguang Combat Command to formulate a combat plan.
Either ask the big leader or leader to take action, or gather the strength of three companies to chew this difficult bone.
........
Finally, before the third heavy snowfall after winter, Shuguang completed its first line of defense and over-cultivated nearly 500 acres of cultivated land! Shuguang's population also touched the threshold of 2,000, reaching 1,912 people.
........
On June 15, the first year of the Doomsday, there was heavy snow and the temperature was -10 to -20°C.
Due to such weather, all production and military outings of Dawn were suspended.
Luffy, on the other hand, left Dawn in an off-road RV with a platoon of soldiers. They would set off from QC Town to YD County.
This trip has several purposes.
The first is to detect the blockage of the main diversion canal so that it can be dredged in the coming spring and a large flow of water from the Datong River can be diverted to the new area for irrigation and domestic water use.
The second is the reconnaissance artillery brigade. In the planning of Shuguang Base, the ground defense facilities have designed forts, but the premise is that the model of the cannon needs to be known so that the installation interface can be easily reserved.
The third is to explore the survivors within YD County.
The fourth is to explore the physical reactions of zombies in such cold weather. To the north of YD County, there is a two-yin area.
The so-called two-yin area is a place with rain, snow and relatively lower temperatures than other places. In that place, Luffy can better observe the biochemical characteristics of zombies in cold weather.
It stands to reason that the zombie's body would be rotting and would be frozen to death in this temperature. However, it has been confirmed in the past two days that the zombie is not frozen to death except for being slightly less active than before.
This further confirmed Professor Wang's guess that there is a substance that is invisible to the naked eye, providing energy to the zombies.
It could be dark matter.
Taking advantage of the heavy snow, Dawn was unable to engage in production and fighting, so Luffy decided to go out.
Accompanying them were Lin Qiaoni, Xiao Xiaoling, An Zeyu, five corpse guards and a platoon of soldiers. These soldiers were led by Qiu Zhihu.
The off-road RV was driven by Xiao Xiaoling, and Lin Qiaoni accompanied Luffy in the passenger seat, following the lead car driven by Qiu Zhihu.
Behind the RV was an armored vehicle driven by An Zeyu, carrying five of Luffy's corpse guards.
Finally, there are companies and platoons of soldiers.
Anti-skid chains were installed on the tires of each vehicle, so there was no skidding on the snow-covered road, although the vehicle was traveling a bit slowly.
Xiao Xiaoling had resumed her feminine appearance. Although she was still a little unnatural, she had no choice but to comply with Lin Qiaoni's explicit request. At this moment, she was driving the off-road RV carefully, with thousands of ponies racing in her heart.
Although she had a driver's license and had driven a car before, this was her first time driving a large car.
She was very worried that she would drive the RV into a ditch. She reported this situation, but no one, Lin Qiaoni or Luffy, was willing to take action.
He also said, "Once you are familiar with it, you will be familiar with it twice. As long as you drive it and get used to it for a while, you will be fine!"
They don't care if they drive their RV into a ditch.
With their strength, even if the car overturned, it would be difficult to hurt them at all!
But I am different! I am still an ordinary person.
During this time, An Zeyu has gloriously become an evolver, and she...
Luffy had never mentioned it, and she didn't dare to ask.
To be honest, she really wanted to ask what she could do to become an evolver...
Compared to Xiao Xiaoling, An Zeyu was much calmer, even though there were five second-level zombies crowding behind him.
After this period of recuperation, his dark circles have disappeared, his waist is less painful, and he has even gained a few pounds. Whenever he thinks of these, he will think of the dark experiences during that period, and he is very happy.
Qiu Zhihu took the initiative to ask to be followed. Although it would be easy to take him to the airport for a few days, and there would be special programs in the evening, he was short of money!
After receiving her second salary, Lin Qiaoni asked for 75 yuan, totaling 225 yuan, of which 200 yuan was principal and 25 yuan was interest.
The three of them were miserable again.
In this case, it is better to leave temporarily. Maybe by following Luffy, you will have adventures and avoid the ridicule of others...
The convoy slowly drove out of the airport and gradually merged into the heavy snow. The destination: YD County.
