Chapter 1394 The North Is Back on Track

Logistics park.

Downstairs on the west side, Lao Yi stood up from his pony and walked behind the ultraviolet lamp.

The ultraviolet lamp has a scattering distance of more than twenty meters and is placed on the ground at a thirty-degree angle toward the sky.

This maximizes exposure to more areas.

The searchlight on the roof of the building shone on the wall-climbing zombie, and the wall-climbing zombie walked into the area covered by the ultraviolet light, sizzling——

The wall-climbing zombie jumped back suddenly and wandered back and forth on the edge of the ultraviolet lamp, not daring to get any closer.

Seeing this scene, Lao Yi felt relieved.

In the building behind, many people ran out and were also paying attention to the situation outside.

Lao Yi saw them sticking their heads out, waved his hands and shouted:

"Don't even look at it. If you don't have to be on duty, take a good rest. Otherwise, stop sleeping and come over to take over."

Those people in the building who had not yet taken their turn on duty immediately ran back to the room.

Turning his head, he saw two more wall-climbing zombies appearing outside the range of the ultraviolet light.

The roars of zombies resounded outside the gate. The zombies outside could not break through the wall and gate, and could not pose a threat to Lao Yi and the others.

Their location is around Shijia City, and there is a train station south of the logistics park.

Originally, they wanted to choose a more remote place to stay, where there would be fewer zombies.

But they had no choice. Natural disasters broke out frequently, destroying many buildings. There were fewer and fewer places that could serve their needs as a base.

It would be better if there were fewer people and cars, and it would be easier to find a suitable one.

But there are not many suitable shelters that can accommodate their large fleet of hundreds of people and hundreds of vehicles.

The wall-climbing zombies did not dare to approach under the threat of ultraviolet light.

Gu Long looked at the zombies climbing on the wall with a look of displeasure on his face.

"Captain, let me shoot and kill those zombies. They are always wandering around and I feel upset when I see them."

Lao Yi shook his head and said:

"Don't go. The gunshots are loud and can easily attract more zombies. Don't cause trouble."

Gu Long thought for a few seconds, suddenly remembered something, and hurried to a nearby truck.

Lao Yi didn't know what he was going to do and looked over curiously.

I saw Gu Long taking a compound crossbow and a bag of arrows from the car.

Gu Long looked excited and somewhat proud, "Captain, I'll use this head office."

"Did you bring this with you? Did you bring it from Oil City?" Lao Yi was a little surprised.

"The ones brought over from the headquarters base have been left unused, and there are three compound crossbows in the truck." Gu Long replied with a smile.

"this."

Lao Yi took over the compound crossbow. This modern compound crossbow is extremely powerful.

He is the king of modern cold weapons.

"There are only six arrows left." Old Yi flipped through the quiver.

"Well, this should be able to shoot through the heads of those wall-climbing zombies." Gu Long's face was full of excitement.

Lao Yi sneered, "Are you kidding, right? That's for sure, okay? This compound crossbow has a huge draw force and can even shoot through an explosion-proof shield, not to mention zombies!"

After weighing it in his hand, he returned the compound crossbow to Gu Long.

"Try it, aim at the point, there are only six arrows."

There were wall-climbing zombies surrounding them more than 20 meters away, and he felt unhappy when he saw them.

He was naturally happy to be able to kill these annoying wall-climbing zombies without attracting more zombies.

Gu Long was full of fighting spirit. He carried a compound crossbow, walked behind an ultraviolet lamp, and placed the arrow on the crossbow.

Set it up, aim at a walking wall-climbing zombie, and fill it up.

Whoosh!

An arrow pierced the air and shot toward the head of the wall-climbing zombie.

At a distance of more than 20 meters, it was easy for Gu Long to hit the target at such a close range.

Snapped!

The arrow was so powerful that it shot directly through the head of the wall-climbing zombie.

After being shot through, it still flew a certain distance.

The first arrow hit, which made Gu Long even more excited.

"Come on, shoot you to death!"

When the combatant guarding the ultraviolet lamp saw it, he smiled and said:

"Go on, Brother Gu, there are three more heads over there."

"Don't worry, no one can escape." Gu Long raised the corners of his mouth and took a few steps to the right.

These wall-climbing zombies have no intelligence and do not know how to dodge bullets and arrows.

The death of the same kind caused three other wall-climbing zombies to scramble to snatch the body.

This is also convenient for Gu Long. The zombies were all moving just now, and now they are all together.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Two zombies were hit in the head in a row, and the remaining one missed because he lowered his head to eat his own kind.

Gu Long adjusted and shot another arrow.

hit.

The four wall-climbing zombies outside the range of the ultraviolet light were all shot to death by crossbows.

But they still dare not turn off the UV light.

No one knows whether wall-climbing zombies will appear again later, so keeping the ultraviolet light on is the safest option.

During the long night, Lao Yi divided the people into three groups and took turns keeping watch.

After Gu Long eliminated the four wall-climbing zombies, no more wall-climbing zombies appeared later.

At any rate, the night was spent smoothly.

The next day.

Lao Yi and others quickly packed up and drove the vehicle towards the north.

Northern Territory.

Lao Zhou, Ding Shan and his party arrived here yesterday evening.

Lao Zhou came to the North for the first time, and he had the same feeling as when he came to the Oil City.

He always heard Lao Luo and others who went out to perform tasks in the base mention it, but he had never been to these two places.

He had a very intuitive feeling that the camphor tree base was different from the past, it was really strong!

It was not limited to one place, but could radiate to other places.

The arrival of agricultural experts such as Zhang Qiwu and the construction team made Uncle San and others very happy.

They were planning the North Border plantation here, but there was no relevant technical team to help, just like a good cook without rice, and they had no idea where to start.

Inner city.

Zhang Qiwu had actually been here before, and he had also cultivated crops here, but due to the impact of thunderstorms, the crops here were not well cared for, and most of them died.

Two greenhouses were also built, and three were halfway through construction.

Zhang Qiwu came out of the greenhouse and said with some regret:

"Minister, it seems that we still have to cultivate crops again, and this greenhouse must be built as soon as possible."

Uncle San nodded slightly and said, "Don't worry."

"In addition, there is a change. Both the inner and outer cities of the northern border need to grow food, and the area is very large. Old Zhang, please take care of it."

The outer city of the northern border is obviously much larger than the inner city, which means that the workload of Zhang Qiwu and his people has at least tripled.

However, Zhang Qiwu did not retreat because of this. He knew very well the importance of food in this doomsday.

He would feel proud and valuable if he could have good conditions to grow more food and feed more people.

"Minister, I think the soil environment in the north is different from that in the headquarters base. The planting ratio of rice needs to be reduced. This side is more suitable for planting some crops such as wheat, corn, sorghum, and sweet potatoes."

"You are a professional, I will listen to you, just implement it according to your ideas."

"Okay."

Uncle San and Zhang Qiwu walked around the inner city. The planting in the inner city is still according to the previous plan.

The outer city needs to be replanned.

The warehouse that had been sealed for more than three months was opened, and Xie Weishan, who came with him, helped to lead the construction of the greenhouse this time.

Before the end of the world, he was just an ordinary construction worker following Ding Jiu, but in the last few years of the end of the world, he followed Ding Jiu to be responsible for most of the construction projects of the big camphor tree base.

This also includes the 1st to 3rd phase of the greenhouse project, the renovation and upgrading of the greenhouse, the construction of the outer city and other projects.

He has rich practical experience. This time he came with Lao Zhou and others, mainly to be responsible for the construction of the greenhouse in the north.

In addition to agricultural experts like Zhang Qiwu, talents with rich construction experience like Xie Weishan, there are also some professionals in other fields.

Some of them were originally the experts who were forcibly taken away by Li Yu from the North.

This time, return to the old place.

Things have changed, and the buildings are empty.

Yuan Zhi, who used to cover the sky with one hand in the North, is no longer seen.

Because there are relatively few people in the inner city, the first batch of Uncle San and others came with only more than 100 people, and Lao Zhou only brought more than 100 people. The remaining space in the helicopter was used to place some other things.

If Lao Yi and others arrive at noon today, plus Lao Yi's more than 600 people.

The number of people in the inner city of the North should be nearly 1,000.

Those members of the original affiliated forces of the North in the outer city have now become members of the outer city of the North, with more than 2,000 people in the outer city.

The entire North can reach a scale of more than 3,000 people.

Compared with the previous population of the North, the current more than 3,000 people are less than one-tenth of the previous population.

After Uncle San explained to Zhang Qiwu, he found Lao Zhou privately.

The reason why Lao Zhou came here was not only because Li Tie was busy.

The more important reason was because of Lao Zhou's identity as a mechanical engineer.

To build greenhouses in the North, there must be enough electricity. The North is not like the Oil City, which has sufficient fuel to generate electricity.

Moreover, the Oil City is now working on zombie generators, and the North must also keep up to meet the electricity needs in the North.

Lao Zhou is one of the core team members who personally participated in the research and development of zombie generators in the Big Camphor Tree Base.

It is most appropriate for him to be responsible for the manufacture of all zombie generators.

Uncle San took Lao Zhou to the basement under the City Lord's Mansion and turned on the lights on the wall.

"Old Zhou, the city lord should have told you the main mission of your visit this time, so I won't say more."

"Anyway, take a look, help me debug these assembled zombie generators, and there are some materials in the warehouse, you can use them at any time."

Old Zhou looked at these assembled zombie generators, nodded and asked:

"Minister, are all these zombie generators in the back placed here?"

Uncle San looked at the corridor sealed by concrete pouring. He had people install two cameras on the opposite side of the wall in the past two days.

After thinking it over, he still felt that it would be more appropriate to change the place.

"There is an underground warehouse next to the logistics building, and the area is not small. That area can be used to place zombie generators."

"Underground?"

"Yes."

"Well, that's good. We tested it in the headquarters base and found that a closed underground environment is more suitable for the operation of the zombie generator. Zombies are more mobile underground."

"Anyway, you watch the time and assemble and debug it as soon as possible. The greenhouse is waiting for electricity at the back."

"By the way, Minister, you have to prepare the zombie for me later. The zombie generator alone can't generate electricity without zombies."

"no problem."

After the two of them finished chatting, they went upstairs.

As soon as he went upstairs, he saw Lao Qin driving a pickup truck in from the outer city.

"Captain, Lao Yi and the others are here."

"Okay, let's let Ah Hong put them in directly."

"We've come in, and now we're in the outer city."

"Close the door!" A Hong shouted to Old Huangtou and others.

Old Huangtou pressed the red button,

Crunch!

The gate to the northern outer city slowly closed.

Lao Yi saw A Hong and Lao Huangtou on the wall and waved to them from the car.

Old Huangtou grinned and picked up the black cloth bag in his hand.

Seeing this, Lao Yi smiled and pointed at Old Huangtou.

This little old man always asked him for corn silk tobacco.

But Lao Huang also got him a pipe, which was quite useful.

When passing through the outer city, all the people from the outer city came out of their houses and looked at Lao Yi and the others on the roof of the car.

"Is that Captain Yi?" Shan Zheng, whose eyesight was not particularly good, asked Chang Wei who was standing next to him.

"It seems like, it looks like a large force has arrived."

"I already said that there is no way that Oil City will give up on the northern border. Once the large troops arrive, I feel relieved."

On the outer city wall, Old Huangtou watched Lao Yi and the others slowly enter the inner city.

His mood became much happier. Among the people in the inner city, he was relatively familiar with this Lao Yi.

Cough. In fact, there are not many people in the inner city that he can contact.

Lao Yi has no airs and is quite easy to talk to.

In fact, Lao Yi is a bit of a social nerd and seems to be able to chat with everyone.

Whether it is with inner-city personnel, outer-city personnel, or even non-staff and cooperative personnel in the Da Zhangshu Base.

Even Chen Er from the Southern Paradise and people from the outer cities in the North can talk.

A typical social butterfly.

The vehicle entered the inner city.

Third Uncle and the others were waiting outside the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

The vehicle stopped steadily, and Lao Yi, Gu Long, Chang Sheng, Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao, Gongsun Jing and others got out of the vehicle.

"Minister." After they got off the car, they shouted to their third uncle in unison.

The third uncle looked at them and nodded slightly.

"It's been a tough journey."

He came closer and said in a deep voice:

"Lao Yi, ask Gu Long and the others to arrange the convoy. It's still early. Take the time to set up the air defense system and heavy fire defense network."

Before the thunderstorm disaster, they took away almost all heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft guns.

Most of the current northern territories are light weapons and equipment.

Helicopters were limited in the amount of weight they could carry, and that was all they could bring at the time.

When Lao Yi arrived, he brought more than a hundred vehicles of heavy weapons and equipment, and the firepower output of the North instantly increased by more than one order of magnitude.

"Yes, Minister." Lao Yi nodded heavily.

Xiao ran over to explain to Gu Long and the others, and Gu Long led the convoy and left with Lao Xie.

"Minister, I still have something to report to you." After Lao Yi and Gu Long finished explaining, they returned to the third uncle.

"Oh? What's the matter?"

"We encountered a strange high-jumping zombie yesterday. Its jumping ability exceeds two and a half meters high and three meters away. This is different from the power parameters of high-jumping zombies released by previous scientific research."

The third uncle frowned when he heard this.

Yesterday, the headquarters base just told him to pay attention to mutant zombies. This type of stronger high-jumping zombies was also found in the south of the headquarters base.

Today, Lao Yi discovered another case.

From this point of view, the mutant zombies that became stronger and were found in the caves south of the headquarters base are not an exception.

Seeing the minister frowning, Lao Yi explained the scene he encountered yesterday in detail.

"It doesn't seem to be an exception," the third uncle said with emotion.

When Lao Yi heard this, he was shocked.

"Did the headquarters base and Oil City also discover it?"

"Well, yesterday or two days ago, a team of collaborators went out to mine limestone south of the headquarters base. They were trapped for one night. They also encountered this kind of high-jumping zombie that had become stronger."
