Chapter 1207 Food Is King!

Big camphor tree base.

After the second uncle finished communicating with Li Yu, he hurried to the inner city to find Madi and asked him about the company.

And asked him to write a list of all the scientific researchers who participated in the project.

"President, the list of more important personnel in that project is all on it." Madi said as he handed the written list to the second uncle.

The second uncle took it, and there were only a few dozen names written on it.

After a rough look, the second uncle folded the list and put it in his arms.

Madi, wearing a white scientific research uniform, hesitated for a while and asked:

"President, do you know these?"

The second uncle thought about it and felt that it was nothing to tell him, after all, the zombie attraction potion was developed by him and Bai Jie together.

So he told him some of the things he talked about with Li Yu about the South Paradise, and also told him Li Yu's guess.

"Meteorites from outer space? I don't think it's likely. I saw the meteorite being taken away with my own eyes. It shouldn't be in that factory." After hearing what the second uncle said, Madi shook his head after pondering for a while.

The second uncle took a deep breath and said, "I know. I will tell the city lord what you said."

Then.

The second uncle did not go to the duty room outside, but came to the inner city meeting room.

There is also a radio station here.

Nowadays, in addition to the five military radio stations at the beginning, Dong Ying has successively produced four long-wave ultra-long-distance radio stations.

These radio stations can be connected and used in series.

There are three stations left in the big camphor tree base, two in the north, two in the oil city, and Li Yu carries one personally.

After arriving at the inner city meeting room, the second uncle told Li Yu the list he got from Madi, and told Li Yu some things that Madi had just said to him.

After listening, Li Yu said:

"Well, I have a general understanding, but it's okay. I don't know the situation in the South Paradise yet. I will know when I go there."

Hearing Li Yu say this, the second uncle didn't say much.

The sun sets.

People on the construction site of the oil city lined up to return to the city one after another.

Although there are many people, the necessary entry inspection is still strict.

Everyone must be searched to see if they are carrying sharp weapons.

There are more than 2,000 people in the Oil City, most of whom are construction workers. If these people make trouble, the consequences will be disastrous.

And this place is not like the big camphor tree base, where there are inner and outer cities, and there is a separation between the outer cities.

There is only one city and a wall here. Once a large number of people make trouble inside, it is difficult to control.

Therefore, they strictly control at the source and do not allow these people to carry anything that may become a weapon, not even a steel bar.

The cranes, excavators, grouting machines, pile drivers and other equipment placed outside, as well as the massive raw materials transported from the Southern Paradise, are placed outside on the open ground.

Anyway, the zombies will not take them away when night comes.

If any survivors see it, they will not secretly take it away for some inedible things and offend the Oil City.

Moreover, the Oil City will use searchlights to illuminate the surroundings at night, and patrol with drones. Once someone approaches outside, they can be discovered in time.

Watching the crowds lining up to enter the city, there were some patrolmen holding guns and guarding around to maintain order.

Suddenly, Li Yu saw a familiar figure among the patrolmen.

Dai Jiusheng, suddenly remembered seeing the information filled out by this person, not only did he come from the army, but he used to be a special forces team.

Thinking of leaving for South Paradise tomorrow, I might as well take him with me.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, you can only know his true ability after taking him out for a walk.

In addition to Li Tie Dapao and his friends, Xiao Jun and the people trained by Wu Jianguo will go to South Paradise together tomorrow.

Such as Mingsheng, Hefeng, Shuntian, except for Ma Dong who is still recovering in the camphor tree base, the others are all taken with them.

"Gangzi, you will notify Dai Jiusheng later and let him join us in the action tomorrow." Li Yu picked up the walkie-talkie and said.

And Li Gang, who was in the patrol team below, had a headset on his ear. After hearing what Li Yu said, he looked around and saw Li Yu on the roof not far away.

So she answered, "Okay."

Soon, as the sun set, the last person also entered the oil city.

The oil city was already crowded.

Tong Rugui and Tu Wentan, who had just come from the north a few days ago, were staying in a factory building.

There was a sudden noise outside.

"It's time for dinner!"

Hearing this voice, everyone rushed over.

"Everyone has it, line up, no queue-jumping." Sister Lan shouted to everyone.

Behind her, Niu Gao and his men were pushing several huge steel barrels over.

The steel barrels were filled with a sweet smell.

Dongdong!

Niu Gao and his men put down the steel barrels, making a loud noise.

Zila Lala——

Su Qian pushed a shelf behind the steel barrel.

Then she climbed up the shelf, took an iron spoon with a diameter of about 10 cm from the person next to her, and knocked it twice.

Bang bang!

"Line up!"

After waiting for a while, she saw the line gradually quiet down.

She then scooped the water into the steel bucket skillfully.

A full pot of corn stubble porridge, a bit sticky.

Snap!

He poured it directly into the first person's bowl.

The man was delighted, then took out a Wahaha eight-treasure porridge can and went to the steel barrel next to him to get the soup.

The soup was very light, made by adding water to the seaweed seized from the North, and then boiling it with some salt.

There was nothing added to the corn dregs. These corn dregs had been piled up in the North warehouse for a long time. Perhaps because of improper storage, they had a little musty smell.

But after boiling, they were still edible.

The man held a bowl of corn dregs porridge, holding the salty seaweed soup in his right hand, and returned to his place on the floor.

The chopsticks were cut by himself with a tree branch.

He was greedy and pious, eating the corn dregs porridge in small bites. The corn was sweet and delicious, and every bite seemed to be enjoyed.

Feeling the food enter the mouth, slide into the throat, enter the stomach, turn into energy, and warm the body.

Another mouthful of seaweed soup. Although there were only one or two pieces of seaweed in the soup, there was salt.

After all, they were doing high-intensity construction work here. The sun was hot recently. Without enough salt, people would not have the strength to work.

That's why they added this soup on purpose.

Even if he ate slowly, after a few minutes, the corn residue in the bowl was still decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Soon, the corn residue porridge was eaten up by him. He stretched out his tongue to lick the corners of the bowl, and then took the can of seaweed soup in Wahaha cans and drank it in small sips.

In the end times, it is common for people to have no food all day.

What is the most important thing in the world, eating is the most important thing.

He was very happy to be able to come here and have two meals a day.

Compared with the previous time in the north, at that time, under the pressure of the North, they often had to go hungry in order to collect the protection fee to be handed over to the North Federation.

There was no other way. If they didn't pay the protection fee, the North would send people to trouble them.

In order to survive, they had to hand over a large part of their limited food to the North.

So, when they came here, they ate the most ordinary corn residue porridge. Although they had to work hard to build during the day, they still felt very satisfied and happy.

Even though the people in Oil City were extremely cruel and would kill a whole family at will.

But if they were honest and obedient, it would still feel good.

At least, there was something to eat!

Tong Rugui sat on a small stool, eating corn residue in big mouthfuls, but he felt extremely sad while eating.

Looking at the brothers who followed him around, as if they had never eaten in their eight lifetimes, his feeling of sadness became even stronger.

As the leader of the group, the brothers who followed him had never had a full meal.

Alas.

This damn end of the world.

There were also sighs from the brothers nearby:

"Another big bowl full of rice, I'm going to feel nauseous after eating it!"

"Hehe! We made the right decision to come to this oil city, finally we don't have to go hungry."

"It's a pity that Sanpao and the others didn't come, they can't enjoy the same happiness as us."

Listening to the discussions of the brothers around him, Tong Rugui was full of emotion.

Yes, in fact, the brothers' requirements are not high, they just want to have food every day.

Who the hell wants to fight all day long if they can have food? They are all forced to do it.

At this moment, he felt someone patted his shoulder.

"Old Tong."

It was Tu Wentan.

Tong Rugui smiled when he saw his former enemy:

"What?"

Tu Wentan pointed around and said:

"After the construction of this trading market is completed, I plan to stay here. I want to ask if you will stay?"

Tong Rugui's eyes widened and asked:

"Stay here? Then you will not be free, and you will become a part of the oil city. Will you go back to the cave?"

"As far as I know, they have four levels. If you stay, you will only be a cooperative staff member."

Tu Wentan smiled and said:

"It doesn't matter. I have understood one thing in the past two days. I am tired. It is too tiring to live in this cruel doomsday with so many brothers. ”

“In this world, big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat shrimps.”

“We small shrimps will always be eaten by others, so we can only enjoy the shade under the big trees.”

“Freedom is not that important anymore, what is important is to have something to eat.”

Tong Rugui frowned and asked:

“What about your cave? You don’t want such a good location anymore?”

Tu Wentan smiled bitterly and said:

“Do you think that cave is really that good? In the past few years, natural disasters occurred frequently. Even if the crops planted in the cave were not trampled by zombies, they were also affected by natural disasters.”

“The output is not much, and a large part of it is paid as protection fees to the North.”

Tong Rugui felt a little bitter when he heard this.

The three words “protection fees” are like a mountain pressing on them.

So he thought again and again and said:

"Let me think about it. The trading market has not been built yet. We will talk about it after it is built. We will definitely not provide us with food after the construction is completed."

"But at least we don't have to pay protection fees anymore!" Tu Wentan said slowly with a bright look in his eyes.

"That's true." Tong Rugui smiled when he heard it.

Tu Wentan put his hand on his shoulder, looking at the crowd outside who were still queuing for food, and sighed: "It's getting hard these days."

"Yes." Tong Rugui whispered.

Night fell.

The searchlights on the walls of the oil city shone back and forth.

The drones flew in the sky, making a humming sound.

Li Yu went to bed early.

However, someone tossed and turned and couldn't sleep at all.

This person was Dai Jiusheng.

In the evening of this day, Li Gang suddenly found him and asked him to participate in the combat mission tomorrow.

He was very surprised, because according to his understanding, this kind of external combat mission would increase the points the most after completion.

But after the surprise, he was a little nervous.

Because he had to go hundreds of kilometers away, his son was still in the oil city.

Now he was patrolling outside the oil city, and his son was in the oil city, not far away and could be seen at a glance.

Looking at his sleeping son, he decided to see if he could talk to Dongtai tomorrow and ask him to help find someone to take care of his son.

After thinking, he closed his eyes.

The moonlight outside the window was very bright, like a gorgeous moon-white robe spread on the ground.

One night passed.

The next day.

It was just dawn.

Dai Jiusheng was awakened by the sound of whistles outside. He got up quickly and put on the combat uniform given to him yesterday. He had not received the gun yet.

After putting on the uniform, he hurriedly pulled his son out.

When he went out, he saw dozens of people standing neatly in an open space not far away.

He saw Dongtai at a glance, so he hurriedly pulled his son to Dongtai and told him about his son.

Dongtai frowned at him and said, "Okay, hurry up and join the team. The team is about to set off."

"Okay, thank you!" Dai Jiusheng bowed to Dongtai, then quickly told his son, and ran to the team.

Xiao Jun saw him coming and said, "Come and get the gun!"

"Yes!" Dai Jiusheng stood at attention and ran over.

After receiving the automatic rifle, combat backpack with four magazines, grenades and other equipment from Zhou Tian, ​​he quickly put on the backpack and came to the end of the team with the gun.

Xiao Jun waited here for a while until he saw that most people had arrived.

So he shouted to the fully armed people lined up in a square:

"Stand at attention!"

"Everyone, report the number!"

"1"

"2"

Many of these people are Xiao Jun's subordinates who have been with him. These people basically came from the army and have been on the expedition for several years.

They have seen blood, slaughtered cities, and fought in and out of the zombies.

They have also blocked the terrifying zombie tide on the wall.

It has been sharpened like a sword.

Dai Jiusheng, who was standing at the back, listened to the people in front of him reporting the number.

Holding a familiar gun in his hand, wearing a somewhat strange but familiar uniform.

He couldn't help but clench the gun slightly, and the muscle memory was restored at once.

At this moment, he felt an urge to cry.

It was still the same taste, the same feeling.

This feeling is the power of the collective.

Indestructible and fearless.

Listening to what Xiao Jun said above, there are some precautions.

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood!" Dai Jiusheng shouted vigorously.

The veins on his neck were exposed, and his eyes were firm.

At this moment, he felt that he was alive!
