Chapter 25 Three-Day Quick Study

"Hmm?"

Wang Tao turned over and sat up.

He came to the window and slowly turned the FM button of the radio.

"Zizi... Redstone Survivor Base... Zizi... Provide water and food... Zizi... Safety... Zizi... Repeat... Redstone Survivor Base... Zizi..."

"Redstone Survivor Base..."

Wang Tao rubbed the stubble on his chin and muttered to himself.

Listening to the name, it should be the survivor base in Hongshi County.

According to the official news released online before, due to the sudden incident, there was not much time to prepare, and the official plan was to build a survivor base in each city.

The survivor base in Huangfeng City is in Hongshi County.

The reason for choosing there is that there is an army there, and there are certain defense measures that can be used directly.

However, during the days when the virus broke out, the army was also infected and in chaos. Especially after the communication was cut off, Wang Tao didn't know whether the base in Hongshi County was still there.

Now that he heard the news about the Hongshi County base through the radio, Wang Tao was still very happy.

Since the radio can still be transmitted, it means that they should have controlled the situation to a certain extent.

But I didn't hear any news about counterattack or rescue, which means they should be able to protect themselves now, and it's limited to self-protection...

Anyway, this is good news. It can also be regarded as a motivation or goal for Wang Tao - at least there are so many survivors still alive, how can he die first!

"Zizi... Zizi..."

The radio played for a while and then there was no sound again. I don't know if it was turned off automatically or there was a problem.

I hope it's the former.

After praying silently, Wang Tao turned on the walkie-talkie again.

Similar to the radio, the walkie-talkie is also turned on once every night, but the radio at least heard two sounds, but the walkie-talkie could not hear anything.

It can also be understood. After all, in the absence of a repeater, the range of this kind of civilian walkie-talkie is only about two or three kilometers, and it is normal not to hear any movement.

However, I don't know if it was lucky tonight. After hearing the news on the radio, his walkie-talkie finally moved!

"Zizi... here... Zizi... Shuize University... Survivor base... Zizi... Received please reply... Received please... Zizi..."

Listening to the intermittent voice inside, Wang Tao's eyes lit up.

Shuize University is a nearby school, about five kilometers away from his Xingfu Community. From the meaning of this sentence, could it be that someone has built a survivor base in Shuize University?

Shuize University is a school built in recent years. It is located in a relatively remote location and is relatively sparsely populated. However, it is relatively close to Huangfeng Film and Television City. Many college students go to the film and television city to work part-time when they have nothing to do.

Wang Tao has also been to Shuize University several times. The impression is not good or bad. It is just an ordinary school.

There is a security army squadron of about dozens of people near Shuize University. If these soldiers are not infected or died on a large scale, they should be able to build a small survivor base...

Wang Tao pressed the PTT button of the walkie-talkie.

"I received it, I received it."

Wang Tao did not tell his detailed information. After all, he didn't know what the specific situation was over there, so it was better to keep an eye on it.

But what he said did not get any response.

"Zizizi... Shuize University... Base... Received please... Reply... Repeat..."

"I received it, I received it, I received it."

Wang Tao repeated a few sentences, but after waiting for a while, there was still no response from the other side.

"Is it because the power of my walkie-talkie is too low?"

Wang Tao was suddenly a little depressed.

The principle of walkie-talkie communication can be simply understood as emitting signals to the surroundings with one person as the center. Under the same terrain, the higher the power, the farther the signal transmission distance.

The four walkie-talkies that Wang Tao looted from 602 are all ordinary civilian models, and the communication distance may be only two or three kilometers. The walkie-talkies at Shuize University may be high-powered, with a communication distance of more than five kilometers.

This means that their signal transmission distance is far and can be transmitted to Wang Tao's walkie-talkie, so Wang Tao can hear it.

But Wang Tao's walkie-talkie signal is weak and cannot be sent that far, so they can't receive what Wang Tao said.

This is a bit painful, Wang Tao still wants to know the situation of other survivors.

After trying a few more times and making sure that there was no way to communicate, Wang Tao shook his head.

"Sleep, sleep!"

Although these two signals could not communicate, it was good news, at least it meant that humans were not extinct...

Wang Tao's sleep quality tonight was the best in the past few days.

The next day.

Wang Tao woke up at around six o'clock, and just after washing up, he heard a knock on the door outside.

He opened the door and it was Ding Yuqin, who came to make breakfast for Wang Tao.

After Wang Tao simply exercised for a while, Ding Yuqin prepared the meal, and after making sure that Wang Tao had nothing else to ask, she went back. Wang Tao did not ask her to stay for breakfast, after all, it was agreed before that she would only have one meal.

After the meal, Wang Tao began to put on his equipment.

He suddenly felt that it was really slow to put on the equipment alone, but he was too lazy to call Ding Yuqin. After finishing the dressing, Wang Tao went to the second floor and knocked on the door of 202.

"Brother, you are here! Come in!"

The bald uncle quickly opened the door for Wang Tao.

Wang Tao said before that he wanted to learn all the skills of this locksmith, but he had no time in the past two days and was delayed.

After looting 601, he had enough food for the time being. He planned to learn all the lock-picking techniques first, and then deal with the zombies in 101 and 102.

The principle of lock picking technology is actually not difficult, especially if there is a master to teach you step by step. It mainly depends on practice. The more you practice, the more proficient you will become.

Wang Tao seems to have a talent in this area, and he can learn it quite quickly. Anyway, the bald man always praised Wang Tao for his talent. He said that he had studied for two weeks before he was qualified. And according to Wang Tao's learning speed, it might be almost done in two days.

The facts were similar to what the bald uncle said. It took Wang Tao another two days, plus the previous study time, a total of three days to master the lock-picking skills including key matching skills of the bald uncle—— There was a small key machine at home, which Wang Tao exchanged for some grain.

"Your learning ability is so strong! I have nothing to teach you now. The next step is practice. Practice is more important than theory..."

The bald uncle sighed.

"Haha, thank you very much uncle for these two days!"

Wang Tao smiled and thanked him.

Of course, he didn't just talk, he also gave the bald man a lot of food, which was considered an equal exchange.

"Let's help together!" The bald man smiled at first, and then suddenly felt melancholy. "I hope my wife and children can also meet a good person like you..."

Wang Tao was noncommittal about being issued a good person card. He asked curiously:

"Where are your family members?"

The bald man took out a family photo from his pocket and stroked it gently.

"They have all gone back to their hometown to visit relatives in the countryside. The countryside is much safer than the city! Before the Internet was cut off, my wife talked to me and said that there were basically no people in their village, and naturally there were not many zombies. It was very difficult to hide at home. Safe... Well, I don’t know if I will have a chance to see them again..."

Is the countryside safe? Wang Tao encouraged:

"Of course there is a chance!"
