"Sorry for being late, because this is a two-in-one chapter!"
Yunding Villa is as festive as the New Year.
Surviving in the last days is an extremely difficult thing. Even if you become an evolver, the chance of death is actually not much lower than that of ordinary people. After all, you have to fight, kill zombies, and kill mutant life forms.
But these are extremely dangerous things, and you can die if you are not careful.
Just like Ye Zhongming in his previous life, as a six-star evolver, didn't he accidentally die at the hands of an insect man?
So the end of the world will bring the ugliness in human nature to the extreme, because everyone has no sense of security. At this moment, everyone is on tenterhooks, not knowing whether they will be alive tomorrow, and indulges in the body's
The evil side is inevitable.
Of course, this is not a reason to do evil, because humans themselves are advanced, intelligent and rational, and if they indulge in everything they do, they will be no different from animals.
To survive, food is necessary. This is the prerequisite for everything. When Yunding Villa set its target at the Yingchun County Grain Depot, it received almost all approval and support. Everyone knows that food is the foundation of everything. No one knows what will happen tomorrow.
Under any circumstances, filling your stomach is the right thing to do. Only when you are not hungry can you have the energy to do other things.
So even though the team suffered heavy losses, when cartloads of food drove into the villa, they still received thunderous cheers, and everyone's face was filled with big smiles.
The first meal after the operation is naturally the most sumptuous. There is enough rice, white flour steamed buns, and canned meats on the table. Even those who like to drink will get a small glass of wine.
On this day, many people had the most comfortable night since the end of the world began.
Ye Zhongming said a few words to everyone in the restaurant and then went out to check the post. He would not be complacent and relax his vigilance just because he got some food. There were many forces around the villa staring at him eagerly. Waiting until the battle of the grain depot
After the news spread, Ye Zhongming would not be surprised by what happened due to his greed.
In this case, the only thing you can do is to be yourself.
After checking around the entire villa, when Ye Zhongming returned to the house where he lived, Xia Lei, Lu Yi, Mo Ye, Tang Tian, and Sister Rong were already waiting for him at the door.
This is the temporary management of the villa. Each person is responsible for a part and supports the operation of the base.
Xia Lei is similar to a housekeeper, she can ask questions about everything and can intervene in everything. This is related to her experience as a civilian in the Armed Police Force, where she played the role of a deputy in charge.
And Mo Ye has now occupied the position of leader of the base's armed forces. She has applied her experience and methods of managing special teams when she was in the job to the base, and the results are very good. Xiaohu is her assistant, and the two of them work together to take care of the training and life of the base soldiers.
All aspects are managed in an orderly manner.
Although Lu Yi is old, he has been in business for many years. He is shrewd, can see the situation clearly, and is prudent in his work. Now Ye Zhongming has left some external matters to him, such as the deal with the black team, which has now been completed
Lu Yi was in charge. In addition, he also helped Tang Tian manage ordinary people, letting Tang Tian and his deputy Xiang Tao become familiar with some common management methods.
Tang Tian joined the team relatively late, but he is loyal, not stupid, and never soft when he needs to be tough. He is quite admired by Ye Zhongming. In addition, Candy is obviously given special protection and treatment, which also reassures this man to help.
Ye Zhongming works hard. He leads ordinary people to the construction site every day and does his best.
Sister Rong is responsible for logistics and some trivial things. Women are more careful in this regard. Her previous job in the company was similar to this. Many women who had been hurt were also assigned to work under her, which was also allowed by Ye Zhongming.
It is a kind of protection. After all, the base will be bigger and the population will be more in the future, and he will not be able to take care of many things thoroughly. With Sister Rong at the front, those women who have been persecuted and abused will not be able to do it again because of some accidents.
victimized.
These people are the management of the base, but the core members around Ye Zhongming are still those who have followed him here through life and death. In addition to Xia Lei and Mo Ye, Xiao Huliang Chuyin Pu Xiuying Sheng Yuanle Dayuan and other talents are
The team, their status in the base is very transcendent. As for other people who want to enter this circle, it will take some time and some things.
"This time our losses were very serious. Thirteen one-star evolutionaries died and two were disabled. Forty-five ordinary soldiers died and six were disabled. The food transport team lost 21 people and almost all the ammunition was used up.
.”
As soon as Mo Ye sat down, he told Ye Zhongming about today's situation. It was obvious that these numbers had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
As the person in charge of the base's armed forces, Mo Ye knew that today was a victory for the entire base, but it was dark for the guards.
Before, the number of one-star evolvers in the Villa was less than forty, but now so many died, the strength was greatly reduced, and fresh blood was urgently needed, otherwise the Villa's core defense strength would be greatly reduced.
Although the number of ordinary people who were subjectively willing to fight before continued to increase, they were only around 150 people, and this time there were only one-third less.
With such losses added up, Mo Ye couldn't help but be anxious.
Ye Zhongming nodded, "Those who are disabled will be given some easy things to do after their injuries improve. We will support them from now on."
Others agree that these people were disabled for the base, and they should be taken care of, and doing so can also send a message to everyone - if they work wholeheartedly for the base, the base will not treat them badly.
Although in the apocalypse, many bases always abandon those who have no use value, but Ye Zhongming is not prepared to do so, because what he needs is not a base based on force taming, but a base that can truly
Under any circumstances, the base can stand up for itself and the base, risking their lives to unite. This requires him to work more on people's hearts. It is the most basic to protect the lives of those who have been injured in the service.
"As for the replenishment of evolvers, go back and carefully select those who you think are suitable to become evolvers. Count the number and report it to me, and I will give you the evolution potion."
Mo Ye agreed. She knew that Ye Zhongming had a lot of one-star evolution potions. If he wanted to, he could make the villa have hundreds of evolvers at once. But she also understood the principle of cultivating kindness and enmity. Evolution potions,
It cannot be given casually.
Then Tang Tian, Lu Yi and Xia Lei also talked about some things about the base. Ye Zhongming replied one by one. Although he had never managed a base in his previous life, he had lived in the base for many years. Naturally, he knew how a good base should be run.
, many views are completely different from those in peacetime, and he needs to remind these people to avoid problems.
"Zhong Ming, there is no news about Xia Bai yet..." Sister Rong waited until everyone finished talking about the matter, then worriedly mentioned Xia Bai's problem.
Ye Zhongming frowned directly.
Naturally, he would not forget Xia Bai, who was a thug he deliberately trained. He had gone to snipe the enemy but never came back. Ye Zhongming was also anxious. He had just gone to inspect the surroundings and had some luck to see what was going on outside.
In fact, in the end of the world, this kind of situation can basically declare the death of a survivor. With Xia Bai's loyalty, if he doesn't come back, the possibility of other than death is very low.
Women like Sister Rong are all in love with Xia Bai, and naturally care about him. Even though she knows in her heart that Xia Bai may be in danger, she still thinks about the only hope left.
"Tell our hunting team that when they go hunting, they should add another task: to find Xia Bai."
The hunting team is an armed team in the base. When there is no guard duty, they will take turns to kill zombies and mutant life forms, improve their combat effectiveness and collect magic crystals.
Mo Ye agreed, she also knew that Ye Zhongming valued Xia Bai very much, and that woman was doing things that were inconvenient for them to do.
"Uncle Lu, ask Yuan Shang to offer a reward, five bottles of evolution potions and five bottles of immunity potions. We want information about Xia Bai."
Lu Yi nodded, thinking about going back and contacting Yuan Shang with the military radio he found. The thing was said to have been found on an infantry vehicle, and it was ready to use after Ye Zhongming fiddled with it for a while.
The next day, Mo Ye handed a list to Ye Zhongming. It was mentioned that the people who could be rewarded with evolutionary potions were ordinary warriors who performed well in this battle and passed the assessment in other aspects. The number was
Thirty-five, and among ordinary people, Mo Ye and Tang Tian jointly selected a hundred people to join the team.
In this way, the number of one-star evolvers will reach about fifty, while the number of ordinary warriors will increase to two hundred.
Ye Zhongming directly gave Mo Ye forty bottles of evolution potions, and the remaining five bottles were asked to reward qualified people at any time depending on the situation. The new ordinary warriors will also receive immunity potions according to regulations. For this, they need to go to Sister Rong.
Got it there.
Lu Yi gave Ye Zhongming a copy of the report from Yuan Shang, which evaluated the strength of the surrounding forces after yesterday's battle with the monsters, and also issued a reward for finding Xia Bai.
"This time, Dongshankou Village, the Lou family and the Hungry Tiger Knights suffered a lot of losses. It seems that this monster is really powerful." After Xia Lei saw the report, her eyes turned to Ye Zhongming. She was originally other than
Ye Zhongming's choice to attack the grain depot was really for food, and he took advantage of several forces. But now it seems that this little man knew that there should not be touched easily? That's why he simply rejected Yuan Shang's proposal?
Ye Zhongming looked at the report carefully and knew that it would definitely not be too accurate. Everyone would have a trump card. It was definitely not something that outsiders could know. However, some things could be analyzed from it, and it still had reference value.
"The only person who was really hurt in this operation was the Hungry Tiger Knight."
Showing this information to Sister Xia Lei, Lu Yirong and Liang Chuyin Candy, who were also in the room, Ye Zhongming said: "Whether it is Dongshankou Village or the Lou family, they are all forces based on families or gathering places. The number of people
There are many, and the cohesion is strong. After these days of development, the strength is pretty good. If we have to compare the number of evolvers, we may not be our opponents for the time being. Although many people died this time, the overall strength has not declined much."
"But the Hungry Tiger Knights can't do it. They have too few people and are not good at management. They guard a cement factory as a treasure. Even if there is a roulette there, it is definitely not a good place for sustainable development. This time his
Nearly half of the people have been lost, and the strength has been greatly reduced. If there is no miracle, there will probably be one less force around."
Hearing what Ye Zhongming said, everyone nodded. The formation of the Hungry Tiger Knights seemed to everyone to be a bit of a joke. They won tit-for-tat with the Science and Technology City team. That was because they were lucky. They didn't know where they got a few.
He obtained a professional certificate and took advantage of his profession to make the Science and Technology City team suffer.
But now, the Science and Technology City team is rapidly increasing its strength, but the Hungry Tiger Knight is injured due to this action. If you think about it, you know that the Science and Technology City team, as a mortal enemy, will never let go of this opportunity.
"But Dongshankou Village and the Lou family are somewhat interesting."
Ye Zhongming touched his chin and recalled the memories of these two forces in his previous life. He knew more about Dongshankou Village. After all, the Dongshan Chapter was also famous in his previous life, and the craftsmen in the Chapter were also respected by other forces. Uncle Hai
He is also a top-notch expert.
The Lou family seemed to have been destroyed by a beast tide in their previous life. Ye Zhongming didn't know exactly when, but according to some people who had stayed here for a long time, his strength was pretty good, and he also had some kind of marksmanship passed down from his ancestors. A red-tasseled spear could already catch up with a gunman.
Develop martial arts skills.
"Uncle Lu, there may be something that requires you to run."
Ye Zhongming thought for a while and made some decisions in his mind.
"you say."
"Go to Dongshankou Village and contact them to see if you can exchange food for weapons, firearms, bullets, etc., and don't need anything else. If they can sell modified firearms, then we can also provide magic crystals in exchange.
I’ll give you a bottom line after thinking about the specific exchange ratio.”
Lu Yi likes doing business and is somewhat eager to try it.
"Don't relax while monitoring Zhang Dalong, but be careful not to be discovered by them." Ye Zhongming warned Mo Ye again. Ye Zhongming has always paid the highest attention to Zhang Dalong, the future nine-star powerhouse.
"What about the Retail Chamber of Commerce? This force is quite mysterious. It appeared in the battle at the arsenal yesterday. Do we want to investigate it?" Xia Lei asked, waving the information on each force in her hand.
Ye Zhongming immediately shook his head, "That is not a force we can touch now. We are too weak in front of them. Stay away from them."
Everyone looked at each other and felt different. They had never seen Ye Zhongming admire a force so highly.
"Zhong Ming, they are very powerful, but we are no match for them?"
Ye Zhongming looked at Liang Chuyin and smiled: "We are strong, but we are not invincible. Besides, those people from the Retail Chamber of Commerce... they do everything they can to evolve, and many of their practices are cruel and inhumane. They use ***
It is not an exaggeration to describe them, so they will be ahead of all human beings for the time being, but it is only temporary, and those evil ways will never become the right path."
"I hope we won't provoke them. Our base still needs some time to develop." Candy prayed quietly with a pair of big eyes.
"Then I will inform the following that the retail merchants will not conflict with them. If you can, give in."
Ye Zhongming nodded and agreed with Mo Ye's words, but his face immediately changed: "They are indeed strong at this stage, but if they touch our core interests, we don't have to be afraid, we can just fight.
If we really have to fight for our lives, what does it matter if we are strong? If we don’t care about the gains and losses, I am at least 60 to 70% sure of killing them."
Everyone felt excited. They all knew what it meant when Ye Zhongming said the words "strong". They valued the Retail Chamber of Commerce above Zhang Dalong in Yingcheng Prison, but even so, this young man
The leader still sent a clear signal, that is, no matter how hard he fights, there is no one he can't kill.
This gave the following people great confidence, because in their hearts, they did not know how powerful Ye Zhongming was, but these few words undoubtedly showed that for the time being, no one has any power to let this young leader
fear.
At noon, after so many days of construction, the foundations of the city walls on both sides of the main entrance of the villa were laid. This made many people extremely excited. After all, this meant that in the future, the base would be protected by huge and solid city walls.
Life will be more secure.
However, the arrival of several successive messages silenced the core and senior members of the base.
At 18 o'clock, we received news that an armed team of more than 200 people from Yingcheng Prison was heading towards Yunding Villa. The leader was Meng Lin, a murderer known as the "Evil Tower". He was here last time
Hu Zhao, who had blackmailed the villa, was among the team.
After receiving news at Blackjack, the hunting team discovered a group of more than 20,000 zombies appearing from the direction of Yingcheng. Looking at the route, they would reach Yunding Mountain in seven days, and there were many level 3 zombies among them.
At twelve o'clock at noon the next day, Lu Yi, who had arrived at Dongshankou Village, used a military radio to send back a message that Dongshankou Village had no intention of agreeing to the food-for-weapons proposal, and he was making a last-ditch effort.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, using the same radio, Dongshankou Village sent a message to Yunding Villa, formally rejecting the offer of exchanging grain for weapons, detaining Lu Yihe's ten-man team, and proposing a redemption condition of 10,000 kilograms of grain.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Shang and his motorcade arrived at Yunding Villa and brought a letter from the leader of the Science and Technology City team, 'Da Kai'. The letter had only one meaning, which was to exchange food for shelter, and the threat was obvious.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Shang, who had just left for two hours, sent a message through the radio given by Ye Zhongming. Xia Bai fell into the hands of the Lou family and was now taken back to the base of the lake island. He was seriously injured and could die at any time.
The bad news comes one after another, making everyone who is qualified to know anxious. The grumpy Xiaohu Shengyuan and others have already made suggestions to send troops to teach these forces who want to take advantage, especially the seizure
Dongshankou Village of hostage blackmail!
The calmer people suggested that we need to take a long-term approach, because there are too many crises, and if they are not handled well, the base that just looked like it will be destroyed.
But both the irritable and the calm people have realized one thing.
Since the establishment of Yunding Villa, the biggest crisis has come.
