Chapter 1144 Global Fog!

The next day.

Big camphor tree base.

In a food processing plant.

Second uncle Liu Jianwu stood next to the huge food dryer, looking at the dried sweet potatoes that were brought out of the dryer by sliding.

He reached out and picked up one, put it in his mouth and chewed it.

He frowned and said to the person next to him: "The temperature is not enough and the drying effect is not obvious. This will shorten the storage time. This batch will be dried again."

"Okay." Wang Cheng nodded.

There are not many people in the entire food factory, only about a dozen people.

However, mechanized assembly line operations are basically used here. Material selection, cleaning, slicing, dehydration, drying, and packaging can basically be done through mechanization, and manual labor only needs corresponding assistance.

These equipments are all obtained from food processing factories, and the machinery and equipment are very complete.

"Shangcha, please adjust the distance between the knives. The current one is still too big, and the drying effect of the big ones is not that good." Liu Jianwu said to a woman in the distance.

This woman was originally an employee of Song Min, but now she was roped in to work in a food processing factory.

Since his second uncle told him about making new year's goods yesterday, he found Li Yuan, moved a batch of sweet potatoes from the base warehouse, and then processed them.

This batch of sweet potatoes has been in the warehouse for some time.

In today's Da Zhangshu base, the production of staple food can reach three seasons.

In fact, grains such as corn have a growth cycle of 100 to 120 days, which can produce four seasons a year.

However, in order to protect the soil, it is appropriately reduced.

Bang, bang, bang—

The sound of machinery in a food processing plant is constant.

In a factory next door, candy is being produced.

A steady stream of New Year's goods are produced amidst the busy noise.

When Li Yu woke up, he looked at Xiaozhu beside him, patted her, and said with a smile: "Little lazy pig, get up."

"Hey~" She turned over and continued to sleep.

It was a lot of hard work yesterday. Not everyone has the same physique as Li Yu.

Li Yu smiled and shook his head. Instead of continuing to quarrel with her, he got up, put on his clothes and left.

He maintained his usual habit of running around the base for morning exercises.

The weather was too cold a few days ago, so he could only stay indoors and exercise.

He doesn't like indoor exercise very much. He likes to run in the mountains and forests when the morning light is slightly dew.

Breathing the fresh natural air, the slightly cold wind blowing, and watching the sun rise gave him a feeling of hope.

The morning sun is very gentle and does not hurt people's faces when it shines on it.

Li Yu ran quickly in the mountains and forests.

The ice in Shantang Reservoir has long melted, and the color of the lake reflects the trees and mountains on both sides.

Twenty minutes later, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and walked slowly towards the residential area.

On the way, he saw Anya. After seeing Li Yu, Anya quickly said: "City Lord."

"Well Anya, can this season's food production meet the target we set a few months ago?"

I happened to meet him, so Li Yu simply asked.

Hearing this, Anya quickly said: "Judging from the current growth situation, it's okay."

"Okay!" After hearing the result, Li Yu had a smile on his face.

Anya is responsible for the agriculture in the Da Zhangshu base, and there has never been any problems, which makes Li Yu very satisfied.

After a slow walk back to the villa, after breakfast, he went to the outer city wall.

He Chao had been waiting here for a long time, following Li Yu to inspect the fourth outer city.

The early morning sunshine shone on the Fourth Outer City, and Li Yu looked at the collaborators who were busy building greenhouses in the Fourth Outer City.

Turning the corner, we stepped onto the outer wall of the Fourth Outer City.

The wall, like the walls in other directions, is made of concrete and is relatively strong.

The fourth outer city gate has been installed, and three buildings on the other side are being constructed simultaneously.

The entire fourth outer city area is larger than the other three outer cities. Although it is not as large as the inner city, it is still larger than the first and second outer cities.

After walking around the fourth outer city, Li Yu nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, now our base has completely built two layers of protection."

He Chao said to Li Yu: "City Lord, the remote control system of the mobile blade on the wall here is more complete. We can open it with the remote control."

"Oh? Really?" Li Yu raised his eyebrows and asked.

He Chao quickly walked to a duty room in front, took out a remote control, and pressed it.

The mobile blade starts to operate.

Clang, Clang, Clang——

Makes a heartbreaking sound.

Li Yu waved his hand, signaling for him to close it.

He opened his mouth and asked: "This is much more convenient. You can upgrade other places as well."

He Chao nodded and said: "Yeah, the president said the same. This was suggested by Lao Dong and Xue Zhihua. Because it was built from scratch, the lines are easier to bury. The original upgrades will probably take some time."

"How long will it take?" Li Yu asked.

He Chao thought for a while and said: "It takes about two weeks."

Li Yu frowned after hearing this, but said nothing.

Thinking of what Qingyang said yesterday about his second senior brother, he kept trying to figure out the meaning of that sentence.

It's better to go directly to him and ask.

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to He Chao behind him: "Go and do your work first. Don't worry about me. I'll take care of myself."

"Okay, City Lord."

As the supervisor here in the outer city, He Chao also has a lot of things to do every day.

So after hearing what Li Yu said, he left here.

Li Yu slowly walked towards the first outer city, at an unhurried pace.

Just when he was about to go down the fence to the first outer city, he met his second uncle.

The second uncle saw Li Yu and quickly stopped him.

"Xiaoyu."

"Second uncle, what's wrong?" Li Yu looked at his second uncle curiously.

After the second uncle came over, he said:

"There are some things I want to talk to you about. Didn't we agree before that Ju Tianrui and his group would be promoted to inner-city personnel? We also agreed on the personnel list before."

"Ju Tianrui and Lao Yi probably won't be able to come back for a while, but Ant and Jackal are here. How about taking advantage of this moment to promote them?"

Hearing that this was the case, Li Yu said without hesitation: "Okay, second uncle, please prepare. How about we start in the afternoon?"

This thing itself does not require much preparation.

The key is that promotion can cheer up the people at Da Zhangshu Base and encourage them to continue to make greater contributions.

Therefore, every time someone was promoted before, it would be announced in person in front of everyone, and a unique Big Camphor Tree Base badge would be awarded.

As an inner-city person, everyone has a badge like this.

After all, there are more and more people in the base, and not everyone knows each other.

If two teams encounter each other while performing tasks outside or collecting supplies, they can use their badges to identify each other and avoid conflicts.

Under special circumstances, we can also help each other.

"Afternoon, afternoon is fine, then I'll make arrangements." The second uncle nodded.

Seeing that Li Yu was about to leave, he quickly said:

"One more thing, Xiaoyu, now there are fewer and fewer supplies that can be searched outside our base, and it is becoming more and more difficult."

"I thought, since we have so many collaborators, we might as well expand the base."

Hearing this, Li Yu frowned and asked, "Expansion? Now that the base is already quite large, how can we expand it?"

The second uncle said: "With our Da Zhangshu base as the center, build a third wall on the periphery, and make it as large as possible."

"I've seen the photo of the Northern Federation you took for me, and I think that area is big enough."

Li Yu sighed and said: "The Northern Federation was built before the end of the world. It is not easy for us to build such a scale at this time, and it is estimated to take a long time."

The second uncle said: "We must always plan for the future."

"As time goes by, the supplies outside will definitely become less and less. We will not expand the scale and achieve complete self-sufficiency. It will definitely be difficult in the future. We now have more people, so moving forward is inevitable."

"Besides, we have to assign tasks to our collaborators all the time. In addition to collecting supplies, we always have to give them something to do."

The second uncle said a lot, and Li Yu stood and thought for a long time.

Finally he said: "I have no objection to further expansion."

"Let's do this. At the next weekly meeting, you mention this matter and let my dad evaluate the time, materials, etc. required for construction. Finally, make a decision. Second uncle, what do you think?"

The second uncle pondered for a few seconds, then nodded and said, "That's okay."

"Then I'll leave first." Li Yu said.

"good."

When descending the fence, Li Yu was still thinking about his second uncle's proposal just now.

The reason why he subconsciously wanted to refuse was because of his previous cautious habits.

In the apocalypse, being large does not mean being powerful, but also having the ability to stop zombies.

The more populated a place is, the more popular it is and the more zombies it attracts.

But then he thought about it, now every time a natural disaster strikes, those cooperating staff will come in to take shelter.

Anyway, it will attract so many zombies, so it would be okay to expand the size of the base.

However, it can only be expanded in three directions: north, south, and west. There is a cliff to the east of the Da Zhangshu Base, making it impossible to expand.

soon.

He arrived at the first outer city.

The residential building is not far from the steps.

In the lobby of the residence building, I met the old Chinese medicine doctor Huagan. After asking about it, I found out where the two senior brothers Qingyang lived, so I walked there.

Room 208.

Li Yu stood at the door and looked at the closed door.

Tuk Tuk——

He knocked lightly on the door.

After a few seconds, the door creaked open.

"City Lord."

The person who opened the door was a tall and thin Taoist priest. He was wearing the clothes distributed by the base, but he had a Hunyuan bun on his head.

Qingyuan looked at Li Yu curiously and opened the door.

Li Yu saw a futon placed in the room and no one else.

So he asked: "Are you alone? Where is your senior brother Qing Xiao?"

Qingyuan leaned forward and asked Li Yu to come in and answer: "He went downstairs to practice boxing and kicking with some people in our base. Do you want me to take you there?"

Li Yu shook his head and said with a smile: "No, I'm here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Qingyuan was a little confused.

But he took a closer look at Li Yu's face and said, "Congratulations, City Lord!"

"Where does happiness come from?" Li Yu asked with a smile.

"The city lord has a broad forehead and a frown. There must be something happy in the near future." Qing Yuan said with a fist.

Li Yu smiled and did not follow his topic. Instead, he asked:

"When clouds gather, it is dark; when wind shakes, it moves; when the sky is clear, it is clear."

"What do these twelve words mean?"

Li Yu actually had some guesses. He remembered that in the fourth year of the apocalypse, there was a terrible fog. This fog was very large and did not dissipate for days.

Fog usually occurs in the atmosphere close to the surface of the earth, mainly composed of small water droplets or ice crystals.

In short, it is water vapor.

Under the fog, it is actually more terrifying than when it rains.

The reason why the zombies rioted is because of rain, but the fog is densely covered with water vapor, which can also form a situation of loss and accumulation.

Moreover, at least when it rains, people can still see some objects in front of them.

But in the fog, things a few meters away cannot be seen at all.

In fact, there was a heavy fog before, which occurred only near the oil city, but not in the camphor tree base, which means that it was only a small-scale fog, and the fog did not last long.

In addition, Li Yu often hid in the sewers in his previous life, and it was easy to show his head on the ground, so he did not have a big impression of that heavy fog.

So he did not take the fog at the beginning of the fourth year of the apocalypse seriously.

But after coming back, I heard the twelve words Qingyang said, and I felt more and more that he was talking about the fog.

So I came back the next day and found Qingyuan to ask.

"When the clouds gather, it is dark, when the wind shakes, it moves, and when the sky is clear, it is clear."

Qingyuan was a little surprised to hear Li Yu say these twelve words. He only told Qingyang, but he didn't expect Li Yu to know.

He pondered for a few seconds.

Qing Yuan said, "I did a divination some time ago.

Gen Gua! Gen Gua means one Yang is above two Yin. Yang has risen to the extreme, so it stopped.

I do a divination every day. Out of curiosity, I do the same thing. For three consecutive days, it was Gen Gua."

"But I was divining the weather. Qian and Li Gua symbolize clear weather, Kun Gua symbolizes clouds, Zhen Gua symbolizes thunder, Xun Gua symbolizes wind, Kan and Dui Gua symbolize rain, and Gen Gua symbolizes fog."

"It was Gen Gua for three consecutive days. I observed the sky at night and combined it with the astronomical phenomena. I inferred that within a month, there will be a huge change in the east, and the fog will be blown away. I am afraid that there will be a fog disaster in the world."

After listening to this, Li Yu was extremely shocked.

Although he had seen this Qing Yuan last time, this time he was really shocked.

There have been too many charlatans and sorcerers before the end of the world, so he actually didn't believe them.

But some of what Qing Yuan said last time changed his mind.

This time, he was even more shocked.

It turns out that there are really such strange people in this world.

Li Yu had experienced countless storms, and he soon regained his composure.

He suppressed his nervousness and asked, "You just said that this thick fog covered the whole world?"

Qing Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, there may be great changes after the thick fog, but I can't infer the details."

Li Yu took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

After all, he just stayed in one place in his previous life, lingering on.

I thought there would be fog only in that area.

Now Qing Yuan meant that there would be fog all over the world.

The fog is not only in the city in Zhejiang Province where he lived in his previous life.

Instead, it will be in the Northern Federation, Oil City, and the Camphor Tree Base!

If the fog covers the whole world, how big will it be!

And if there is fog, he will also have to worry about Oil City and the Northern Federation!

Thinking of what Qing Yuan said just now, less than a month, he knew that this was still good, to be precise, only twenty days.

Twenty days. It seems that the trading market can be suspended.

Otherwise, if there is a thick fog during the construction, it will be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Li Yu said to Qing Yuan:

"Master Qing Yuan, thank you. If you find any bad situation in the future, you can always come to me."

And he clasped his fists towards Qing Yuan.

Qing Yuan's eyes were clear, and he nodded and said: "Good!"

Replied to Li Yu and clasped his fists.
