Chapter 1086: Response! [Update]

Sima Xi didn't believe a word of Sima Dong's promise.

But he had no other way. Now he only had Mu Yang under his command, and no one else could be used.

Sima Dong thought for a while and asked: "Brother, is that oil city really that evil? So many zombies suddenly appeared?"

Sima Xi nodded and said:

"Yes, at least a hundred thousand zombie tide, the people in the oil city are hateful, they should have known that there would be zombies coming, blew up all four gates in advance, and secretly used cannons to blow a big hole in the wall, otherwise we wouldn't be defeated so easily."

Sima Dong's eyes flickered, thinking about various possibilities.

Although the oil city was a cloud of fog, it was difficult to see its true strength.

However, he had absolute reason and confidence that the people in the oil city would definitely not dare to come to the Northern Federation to cause trouble.

Coming here is to seek death.

Sometimes he had to admit that the power under Yuan Zhi was very strong, so strong that he was somewhat envious.

The Northern Federation was like an iron barrel. Even if the people from the Oil City came, they would never come back.

In addition, he was considering one thing.

Sima Xi had been to the Oil City. After testing it himself, he considered whether to form an alliance with Yuan Zhi, take down the Oil City together, and then divide the harvest.

After all, many of Sima Xi's weapons and supplies were left in the Oil City.

But he couldn't be sure whether Yuan Zhi was willing to form an alliance with him.

While thinking, Sima Xi got up, walked to the windowsill and looked at the lights outside. His face burned by the sun's radiation looked extremely hideous.

He got the helicopter he wanted from Sima Xi, and at the same time he saw that Sima Xi didn't want to continue chatting with him.

So Sima Dong said, "Then you rest here, I won't disturb you."

Sima Xi turned his head, looked at Sima Dong with complicated eyes, nodded and said, "Okay."

Sima Dong walked out and closed the door.

After Sima Dong left the room, Sima Xi's body seemed to be instantly weak, and he sat on the ground with his head buried between his legs.

"Oil City!"

"Crack, crack!"

He gritted his teeth and said these three words.

The people in this place made everything he had overnight disappear.

He hated it and wished he could take people back immediately.

But he has nothing now.

Governor's Mansion.

Yuan Zhi sat at the top, and Ma Song and others stood behind him.

On the left and right of the table in front sat Fan Haiyang, Yin Xi, Yuan Youzhi, Han Li, the captain of the helicopter brigade, Liu Wei of the artillery brigade and others.

The people sitting here are basically Yuan Zhi's confidants.

"Call everyone here, mainly because there are some things to discuss with everyone."

Yuan Zhi knocked on the table and said softly.

Then he looked at Fan Haiyang, "Haiyang, tell everyone what you found after you went to Oil City."

Fan Haiyang was a little embarrassed. This time he went to Oil City and left in disgrace.

But he couldn't just say that he ran away before he even arrived at Oil City.

So he optimized the process and said:

"After we arrived near the sky above the Oil City, four helicopters flew out of the Oil City to intercept us. The enemy was outnumbered, not to mention that we were in their territory. We had no choice but to leave."

"Four helicopters? What are their configurations?" Han Li asked with a frown.

Fan Haiyang looked a little embarrassed. What configurations, how could he know? He couldn't see anything clearly at such a distance!

So he had to bite the bullet and said: "The situation was critical at the time, and I didn't see it too clearly, but they should be equipped with rockets."

Hearing this, Han Li frowned.

This firepower configuration is not weak.

Yuan Zhi glanced at Fan Haiyang and said:

"So, what Sima Xi said is true? Can the people in the Oil City really control zombies?"

When it comes to this issue, Fan Haiyang suddenly became much more cautious.

He leaned forward and said seriously: "I can't be sure of this, but what I can be sure of is that Sima Xi did only have that helicopter back."

"When I arrived at Oil City, it was already under the control of the people in Oil City."

Yuan Zhi knocked on the table and looked at everyone and said:

"Everyone, what do you think about this?"

Yin Xi spoke first: "Let me tell you my thoughts first."

"I am in charge of the alert of our Northern Federation, so when I heard about this, the first thing I considered was the safety of our base."

"Suppose the people in Oil City can use zombies to besiege us."

Everyone held their breath when they heard his hypothesis.

If they can really control zombies, what can they do?

Han Li, the captain of the helicopter brigade, sneered.

Interrupting Yin Xi's speech, "Impossible, absolutely impossible."

"If they really have that ability, the oil city will definitely not just stay in that place, and just end the apocalypse."

"Controlling zombies, then what's the point of us playing."

"The location of the oil city was densely populated before the apocalypse, so it's normal that there are more zombies."

"During the day, so many people from Sima Xi ran over, making so much noise, and it is said that the wall was blown up, so zombies will definitely run over at night."

"We all know that Sima Xi is a loser. He can play into the schemes of people in Petroleum City. That's just because he is stupid. It does not mean how powerful Petroleum City is."

Yin Xi couldn't get in the conversation at all, and only when Han Li paused did he say: "I didn't mean that, I was assuming. Do you know if you know?"

"Your hypothesis is a fantasy and does not hold water." Han Li mocked.

Just at this time.

Boom!

Yuan Zhi placed the tea cup heavily on the mahogany table.

"Han Li, don't interrupt Yin Xi. Let him finish what he's saying. Talk one by one. Isn't it interesting to argue?"

Han Li sighed, closed his mouth and stopped interrupting.

"Yin Xi, continue talking." Yuan Zhi said.

Yin Xi paused, reorganized his thoughts, and continued:

"Again, I am assuming that everything is for the sake of the security of our northern federation."

After stating this prerequisite, he continued:

"If the people in Oil City can really control zombies, then they will definitely send an army to look for trouble. After all, Sima Xi led people there to attack them."

"If they come, without rain, they will not be able to break through our walls just by relying on zombies."

"However, from what happened to Sima Xi and the others, we must pay attention to one thing. If they use heavy artillery to bomb our wall and there is a hole in the wall and zombies rush in, we will be in trouble."

"So, I suggest strengthening the defense system of our Northern Federation and doubling the number of outposts outside our Northern Federation! If we find people from Oil City coming over, we can immediately send helicopters to bomb them!"

"In addition, those of us stationed in the city can also communicate and provide artillery support from a distance."

"I'm done."

Yuan Zhi nodded, then looked at the next person next to him and asked:

"Liu Wei, tell me what you think."

Liu Wei, the captain of the artillery team, stood up with a serious expression.

He said to everyone: "Based on Sima Xi's description of the size of the hole opened by the bombing in the middle of the night and the strength of the wall, I think it's the people in Oil City who are using heavy artillery!"

"The firing distance of the heavy artillery reaches thirty to forty kilometers, and it is extremely powerful. The coverage radius reaches fifty meters, and the core damage radius is five meters."

"If they use heavy artillery bombardment, our wall will only be able to withstand a few times, and it will be blown open in five minutes at most!"

"I have no opinion. This is just based on my inference and I would like to share it with everyone."

After saying that, he sat down.

After he finished speaking, everyone on the table looked extremely ugly.

There is no thought yet, it is already obvious.

How many outposts would need to be established with a radius of thirty or forty kilometers?

Chao Yuan, who was in charge of the outpost outside the city, said:

"For a post with a radius of forty kilometers, even if I average one for ten kilometers, if we want to cover it, we will need at least dozens of posts. Our number of posts will not be doubled, but tripled!"

The management of outposts is very complicated, and the dozen or so outposts alone are already giving him a headache.

Yin Xi said: "For the security of the base, no matter how many outposts we have, we should establish them."

Chaoyuan frowned and said: "Manage and coordinate dozens of outposts. You have to communicate with them and deal with emergencies. You have to know how difficult it is to operate!"

"Instead of adding so many outposts, it is better to let Han Li and the others go out to patrol more. Anyway, high-altitude patrols have a wide field of vision and can easily detect enemy traces."

Hearing that Chaoyuan put the responsibility on his side, Han Li quickly said:

"Helicopters consume a lot of fuel. If we go out for high-intensity patrols every day, the fuel in our base will not be enough for us to burn. We are not like Oil City, which has a continuous supply of fuel!"

Yuan Zhi had a sullen face, said nothing, and allowed them to argue over there.

Chaoyuan, Han Li, and Yin Xi have been arguing over there, all of which are talking about their own difficulties and trying to shift the responsibility to others.

Just when Yuan Zhi's face became increasingly ugly, Yuan Youzhi suddenly stood up and shouted: "Stop arguing."

He looked at the Governor.

Chaoyuan and others stopped and looked at the governor in the direction of Yuan Youzhi.

At this time, they also noticed that the governor's face was a bit ugly, so they all shut up.

Yuan Zhi took a deep breath, looked at them and said, "Continue."

"Keep arguing!"

"What we are talking about is how to deal with Oil City!"

"What's the use of you arguing over there?"

"Ma Song, tell me what you think."

Hearing Yuan Zhi call his name, a man standing behind Yuan Zhi complained in his heart.

I had known that I would not give Yuan Zhi any advice before. Unexpectedly, after several suggestions, Yuan Zhi regarded him as his own adviser.

He coughed twice and walked out from behind Yuan Zhi.

He bowed his hands to everyone.

He opened his mouth and said:

"Everyone is a member of the Northern Federation. We all suffer when we are prosperous and suffer losses."

"At present, it is impossible to make a conclusion on whether Oil City can control zombies."

"I think we need to be prepared."

"First, send people over to investigate the situation in Oil City again and try to figure out whether that Oil City can control zombies. But be careful not to get too close."

"Second, we need to increase our own vigilance. We must increase the number of outposts, but we may not need so many. We can increase them slowly. After all, increasing the number of outposts is not a bad thing for us.

In addition, I suggest that we should stop any refugees from entering our Northern Federation now. It will be troublesome if people from Oil City sneak in."

After speaking, he bowed to everyone again and stepped back behind Yuan Zhi.

Fan Haiyang felt a little embarrassed. He went there and only saw that Oil City was reoccupied by them. He didn't figure out anything else.

Blushing.

At this time, Han Li stood up and said, "Governor, I think we can fly over, but Captain Fan and his team couldn't figure it out. I don't think I have much confidence."

"If they have anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, it's too close and too risky for us to go there."

"And they also have four helicopters, and there may be more."

Yuan Zhi tapped the table, with a thoughtful look on his face.

What Han Li said makes sense.

Every helicopter in his hands is very valuable. If he flies over to investigate the situation, he will lose more than he gains, just like Sima Xi, who lost all the supplies and equipment in Oil City, which benefited the people in Oil City.

After thinking for a long time, he said, "Let me think about sending helicopters over."

"But we must increase the number of outposts, and we must do it as soon as possible."

"Even if the people in Oil City don't come, I think it's not enough for a base as big as ours to have only a dozen outposts!"

"Chao Yuan, I'll give you a week, and you must increase the number of outposts to 50!"

Chao Yuan was frightened by this number and stood up. On average, there must be at least two people in each outpost, which means 100 people.

In addition, people need to be sent to each outpost every day to understand the registration situation.

It's very troublesome, boss!

Moreover, the people who were sent out to guard the outposts were actually not very happy.

After all, who would be willing to run out and stay in the outposts when they can stay safely within the walls?

The risk is high, and there is no more subsidy, so most people are unwilling to do it.

Unless some new people are recruited.

So he stood up and said, "Governor, I have no objection to what you said."

"But I need enough people. I don't have enough people now."

Yuan Zhi frowned and asked, "How many do you want?"

"Eighty!"

"Okay." Yuan Zhi agreed without saying anything.

After hearing Yuan Zhi's agreement, Chao Yuan continued to put forward conditions:

"I need to increase the food ration for 100 people, at least 30 more walkie-talkies, and 10 vehicles."

Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zhi waved his hand and said, "Okay, I promise you, I will give a greeting to the logistics department, but my only requirement for you is that you must quickly build a sentry post. This matter cannot be missed, understand?"

"Understood!" Chao Yuan nodded, and the original dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.

As long as he gives enough benefits, he can solve any difficulty.

Yuan Zhi suddenly remembered something, so he said to Han Li:

"The fuel problem you just mentioned is true.

But daily patrols are also necessary, and the patrol range is 50 kilometers. In addition, you can reduce the number of flights, one helicopter per day, and patrol for two hours."

"Okay." Han Li nodded, not daring to refuse.
