Chapter 115 Spring Hunting Operation
The moving work took three full days, and Li Yuanhong finally heard the long-lost gunfire at the soldier training ground again. Although these weapons and ammunition have been used for almost a hundred years, due to the good moisture-proof treatment of the warehouse and the fact that these ammunition are stored in the most durable iron boxes, most of the ammunition can still be used. Li Yuanhong's troops finally returned The age of gunpowder.
However, Li Yuanhong still ordered Wang Jingrong to train the soldiers strictly and improve their shooting accuracy as soon as possible. After all, these bullets are finite. If you shoot one round and miss another, if you don't improve the accuracy, you will shoot randomly on the battlefield. It is estimated that a hundred rounds of bullets will not be enough. Li Yuanhong couldn't afford this kind of waste if he couldn't kill a zombie.
Time passed very quickly, and it was early April. At this time, the rivers had melted, the snow on the ground had melted, and green grass was sprouting in many places. The world was full of spring. Although everything is recovering, Li Yuanhong is not in a good mood because one thing has been bothering him. This thing is that the diesel and gasoline in Li Yuanhong's base are about to bottom out.
Li Yuanhong had no choice but to call Wang Jingrong and Liu Hu together for a meeting: "Jingrong, how is the training of the soldiers now?"
"Brother Li, these soldiers have no problem training with cold weapons, but they can't shoot!" Wang Jingrong answered.
"Is defense feasible?" Li Yuanhong asked again.
"Defending the city shouldn't be a problem! Is Brother Li going to fight?" Wang Jingrong asked.
"Well, we don't have enough oil now. We have to find a way to get oil in the long term. Now we have two ways. One is to go north to Daqing. There is an army base there and there should be oil. The second way Let's go east and open the road to Russia. Russia is a major oil-producing country, so there should be oil there." Li Yuanhong said.
"Well, it seems that Brother Li is planning to go to Russia!" Liu Hu looked at Li Yuanhong and said.
Li Yuanhong looked at Liu Hu with a smile and said, "Why did Liu Hu say that?"
"Simple, there are too many zombies if you go north!" Liu Hu smiled silly.
"You, Liu Hu, are the only smart ones!" Li Yuanhong rolled his eyes at Liu Hu. Then Li Yuanhong continued: "Yes, we are going to Russia. There is not only oil there, but also many other resources. Moreover, the number of zombies there is relatively small. We should not go head-to-head with zombies in the early stage. After all, our number is too small! Everyone thinks that we will never Where is the right place to attack?”
Wang Jingrong and Liu Hu looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly. Wang Jingrong said: "Brother Li, neither Liu Hu nor I have ever been abroad, and we don't know anything about the other side of the country. However, Gao Zhiyuan should be cleared. After all, this guy used to be a border trader, and he would always run there if he had anything to do, so just ask him!"
"Yeah, how could I forget this guy!" Li Yuanhong said with a slap on his forehead.
Then Li Yuanhong ran to Gao Zhiyuan to inquire about the news.
Gao Zhiyuan has been very busy recently. After Li Yuanhong upgraded the conference hall, he established a market, and in the market, the first-level evolutionary liquid was sold publicly at the price of forty-five first-level crystal cores. This is a good thing. If many workers work hard, , as long as you live frugally, you can buy a bottle in three months, and there are many other good things in the market, as well as a newly opened tavern, which not only has wine, but also a lot of fresh vegetables, and Knowing where Fatty found the chef, the craftsmanship made people feel like they were back before the end of the world, and the price was not expensive. Although working-class people did not go out to restaurants every day, they could still make improvements every now and then. Gao Zhiyuan has a great eye for business. As soon as Li Yuanhong launched the market, he immediately rented a storefront. Then he took his team to various villages to search for supplies before the end of the world, and then brought them back to find those that were easy to sell. Selling in his own store, he made a lot of money. By the time other mercenary groups discovered this business opportunity, Gao Zhiyuan's pockets were already bulging.
That day, when Gao Zhiyuan was counting the goods in the store and wondering where to go next to find good products for sale, Li Yuanhong walked in. When Gao Zhiyuan saw Li Yuanhong, he immediately came up to him: "Hey! Brother Li, what brought you here!"
Li Yuanhong said politely: "It's Xi Feng!"
"West Wind?" Gao Zhiyuan was stunned, not knowing what Li Yuanhong meant.
"Let's talk inside!" Li Yuanhong did not answer Gao Zhiyuan's question.
"Oh, yes, yes, say it inside, say it inside!" Gao Zhiyuan quickly handed Li Yuanhong to the inner room of the store.
"I'm happy to meet Boss Gao!" Li Yuanhong said directly after sitting down.
"What happy event?" Gao Zhiyuan asked doubtfully.
"I want to open the merchant land to Russia, and we need Boss Gao to show us the way. Of course, the road will not be in vain. Boss Gao can tell us whatever conditions he has." Li Yuanhong said straight to the point.
After hearing this, Gao Zhiyuan frowned and thought for a moment. He did not answer Li Yuanhong directly. Instead, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "Brother Li, what kind of reward do you want for this small favor? But I have a request. If Brother Li Go to Russia to get crude oil. Can you sell civilian oil? Let me do it. Of course, just like the gas stations in the past, I just sell it on behalf of others and get the price difference." Gao Zhiyuan clearly sensed the business opportunity.
"Haha, no problem. Boss Gao supports me so much, how can I let Boss Gao suffer!" Li Yuanhong readily agreed. In fact, in Li Yuanhong's plan, petroleum energy will soon be eliminated. Dr. Yuan revealed last time that using As an energy source, crystal nuclei are likely to change the world. However, the current crystal nuclei are disposable and the outer wall is too fragile. Once the energy liquid in the core is exhausted, the outer wall of the crystal core will collapse and cannot be reused. However, the level of the crystal core The higher it is, the greater the strength of the outer wall. It is expected that the crystal cores of level 10 zombies can be reused. By then, many existing polluting energy sources can be replaced by crystal core energy.
Therefore, Li Yuanhong still needs oil energy in the short term, but Li Yuanhong believes that with the support of the system and the help of Dr. Yuan and Dr. Han, he will soon get rid of the shackles of energy.
Negotiate with Gao Zhiyuan about the route to Russia. The destination this time is Shuangcheng City, which is the distribution center for Russian commodities nearby and a transfer station for many goods. Moreover, the population there is not large, with less than two dozen people. One hundred thousand, where not only oil resources can be obtained, but also pharmaceutical equipment and papermaking equipment, which makes Li Yuanhong very excited.
However, there are many risks involved in this trip. After all, encountering a group of zombies in the wild is no joke, especially now that the zombies have regained their mobility, especially in Shuangchengzi, where the temperature has warmed up in early March. It’s time to go , the zombies must be lively and jumping around, so Li Yuanhong must be fully prepared. Li Yuanhong negotiated with Wang Jingrong and Liu Hu, and finally took Wang Jingrong to fight. Liu Hu held on and took three armored vehicles and 500 system soldiers to set off. After all, this time was to explore the road, not for real. He went to fight the zombies head-on. It was unclear what the situation was in Russia now. Breaking in rashly would only do harm, but no good. In the end, Li Yuanhong designated this operation as: Operation Spring Hunting.
Li Yuanhong set off with Gao Zhiyuan in a very low-key manner. If anyone knew that Li Yuanhong was traveling far away, something might happen. Li Yuanhong didn't have time to fight among himself now, so it was better to keep it a secret.
The convoy quickly left Hunchun City and headed east, passing through mountains and mountains, and entered Russia unknowingly. If Gao Zhiyuan hadn't reminded them, Li Yuanhong would have thought he was in the country. At this time, the scenery on both sides of the road is still the same, no different from that in China. If there is a difference, it is that the trees are thicker. Obviously, Russia protects the natural environment well. In fact, if you think about it, Russia is so big, but its population is only a fraction of that of China. No, if you want to destroy the environment, you don’t have that much manpower.
The convoy was moving forward, and it was already past noon, but there was still no big town in sight. If this was in China, it would be a miracle. At this time, Gao Zhiyuan sat next to Li Yuanhong. This time Li Yuanhong went out and deliberately drove out the RV that had not been used for a long time so that he could be more comfortable. At this time, Li Yuanhong was sitting in front of a window, thinking about what might happen next. Seeing Gao Zhiyuan sitting next to him, he asked: "Boss Gao, what's going on?"
Gao Zhiyuan pointed to the southeast direction of the convoy and said: "Brother Li, there is a county seat there, a Russian county seat. Maybe we can find something useful there."
Li Yuanhong followed Gao Zhiyuan's gesture and could vaguely see that there were many human buildings standing on the plain between the mountains and the ocean. Although the buildings were not high, the dense buildings could prove that , many people once lived there.
