Chapter 1529 Zombies Are Overhead? Well, It’s Not a Big Problem

Two taels of meat, one catty equals ten taels.

One catty of meat is equivalent to ten points to buy.

If an ordinary construction worker in the trading market digs out two corn tortillas eaten every day, he can save 0.5 points a day. It takes 20 days to save up 10 points.

This means that if an ordinary survivor in the trading market wants to eat a pound of meat, he must at least use the points accumulated in 20 days to exchange it.

Meat is more precious than gold in the end of the world.

Compared with other starchy foods, it is more nutritious, and the sense of fullness and satisfaction it brings is unparalleled.

After listening to Liu Qian'an's story, Li Yu has a deeper understanding of the living conditions of the partners in the big camphor tree base.

"City Lord, if it weren't for the big camphor tree base, we would not have such a life in the end of the world. Thank you, Lord City Lord."

As he spoke, Liu Qian'an recalled the bitterness and sweetness, and recalled the difficulties he had gone through, and he was moved.

Li Yu patted his elbow and shook hands with him.

"Our original intention is to help you solve your problems. This is what we should do. As long as you live a good life, it proves that the direction of Dazhangshu is correct."

After reading some classics, Li Yu spoke nice and polite words very fluently.

After understanding almost everything, Li Yu turned his head and looked at Zuo Ronggan.

"Take me in to have a look."

"Okay, City Lord."

Zuo Ronggan stretched out his hand and made a gesture of invitation, indicating that Li Yu should go ahead.

But Li Yu waved his hand and indicated that he should go ahead and lead the way.

Entering the sentry point built on the brick and tile house before the end of the world, as soon as he came in, Li Yu was attracted by an iron door behind the door.

He walked over and touched the size of the iron door. The thickness was about 6 cm and it was made of pure steel.

It was thick.

Go upstairs.

He saw that the windows upstairs were the same as the gates downstairs. There were two open iron windows on both sides behind the steel railings.

Seeing that Li Yu was interested in this, Zuo Ronggan stepped forward and explained:

"At night, we will close this iron window, and we don't even need the ultraviolet light. The zombies climbing the wall can't get in, so it's still quite safe."

"Is it stuffy?" Li Yu asked.

"It's okay. You see, these small holes are used for ventilation." Zuo Ronggan walked to the edge of a wall, where there was a row of small holes. These holes were only the size of a bowl, and they were blocked by wire mesh.

Li Yu looked at these arrangements and nodded.

This upstairs looks much more spacious than the downstairs. Four two-story buildings are connected together after being opened up. The upper and lower floors add up to nearly 1,000 square meters.

There are dozens of beds here, but these beds are very simple.

The lower floor is raised by bricks for dozens of centimeters, and the upper floor is paved with wooden boards cut and flattened outside.

It's simple, but it's enough not to sleep on the ground.

There are some beddings on these beds, which are obviously for Zuo Ronggan and his men stationed at the No. 4 station.

"Are there many partners who stay here overnight?" Li Yu turned his head and asked.

Zuo Ronggan thought for a moment and answered:

"Last night, more than 30 partners stayed here overnight. Our station usually closes the iron gate at 6 pm."

Li Yu looked at some kitchen utensils and firewood placed in the corner.

They built a tripod with a copper pot hanging in the middle. They boiled water and cooked food here.

Going up to the top floor, there is no protection on the edge of the top floor.

But it is only a two-story building, six meters high, and it is not so scary without protection.

Standing on the top of the small building, a row of small buildings formed a wide platform.

On it, they used sandbags to build some sand piles for guns.

After a rough look, Li Yu went downstairs.

"You are stationed at the sentry point. If there are any difficulties, you must report to the headquarters base." Li Yu explained to Zuo Ronggan.

Zuo Ronggan shook his head and said, "There is no difficulty. The patrol team will come here twice a week. They will give us whatever supplies we need."

"Okay." After encouraging Li Yu, he left the No. 4 sentry point.

Later, they visited all the sentry points set up in Ning County, Shi County, Xing County, Hui County, Chong County, and Xunwu County, which are centered on the big camphor tree base.

Similar to the construction of the No. 4 sentry point, that is, relying on the strong buildings in the traffic arteries, transformed into sentry points, such sentry points only occupy two-thirds.

The natural disasters of the end of the world also destroyed some buildings, and many of these remaining buildings were self-built houses.

Perhaps it was because these houses were all occupied by their own families before the end of the world, so the materials used were more solid.

The remaining one-third of the sentry points were all buildings assembled by piecing together containers.

Generally speaking, the standard thickness of the side panels of container houses is 1.

They reinforced and thickened the containers, reaching ten times the original thickness.

The thickness of the container board reached two centimeters, and even the power-type zombies could not break this container.

In particular, the containers on the bottom floor were reinforced with sand, gravel and soil.

Of the 30 sentry posts, 26 have been built, and people have been sent to watch over them.

The remaining 4 sentry posts will be completed in less than a week.

After inspecting the last sentry post, Li Yu boarded the helicopter.

"Let's go back to the headquarters base." Li Yu shouted towards Li Tie who was still standing outside the helicopter.

Li Tie hurried over and boarded the helicopter together.

Among the thirty sentinel points, helicopters landed four times, and the others basically just lowered the helicopter to a higher altitude and patrolled in the air.

But even if we only came down four times, it took a lot of time.

We arrived in Gan City at noon. After walking around the entire Gan City to inspect sentinel points, when we returned to the Da Zhangshu base, the sky was already slightly dark.

At 6:20 in the evening, they arrived at the Da Zhangshu base.

The sky was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky crimson like blood.

When they stepped into the high walls of the Da Zhangshu base, the inexplicable and suffocating tension outside suddenly dissipated.

Li Yu returned to his residence and felt the comfort of hot water washing his body. The water flow took away all the dust and fatigue.

After washing up, he went downstairs with a glass of water and looked around the villa, which was orderly and brightly lit. His mother was busy preparing dinner. The laughter of children intertwined with the clatter of pots and pans, creating a strange tranquility.

After dinner, Li Yu found his second uncle and discussed with him about celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival.

In the last few years since the end of the world, it seems that we have only spent one Mid-Autumn Festival. The other Mid-Autumn Festivals are basically spent in natural disasters.

The third-floor terrace of the villa is lit by twinkling lights.

There is a beer glass on the table. The beer foam in the beer glass slowly bursts, and a layer of water droplets condenses on the surface of the glass. This is the beer that has just been produced from the refrigerated camphor tree base.

"Gudong, gudong!"

Li Yu took a big sip and took a long breath.

After drinking this big gulp of beer, I felt like the heat of the day was gone.

Refreshing.

"Second Uncle, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. Let's start the food factory to urgently produce a batch of mooncakes. Just treat them as a Mid-Autumn Festival gift for everyone."

The second uncle cracked the melon seeds cracklingly.

After hearing what Li Yu said, he put the melon seed shell in his hand on the table.

"Producing mooncakes?"

The second uncle took a sip of water and looked at the full moon in the sky, "Yes, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon. You see, I am so busy that I am confused."

“It’s time to produce a batch of mooncakes, but how many should we produce?”

Li Yu said while thinking: "Mooncakes have a long shelf life and can be stored for several months. Let's produce 10,000 of them first."

"Ten thousand? So many!" The second uncle's eyes widened, a little surprised.

Li Yu drank all the beer in the beer glass in one go and settled the account with his second uncle.

“There are 7,600 people here at Da Zhangshu Base alone, nearly 3,000 people in the north, and 65,000 people in Oil City including survivors, with a total population of nearly 80,000.

We only produce 10,000 mooncakes, is that a lot? "

When the second uncle heard him say this, he felt

Not too much.

Not to mention anything else, just for the inner and outer city staff, plus non-staff staff, each person counts as one moon cake.

It's already a few thousand more.

The remaining ones are sold in trading markets and buffer city stores, and are estimated to cost less than 2,000 yuan.

Two thousand mooncakes were divided among nearly 70,000 survivors and collaborators, which is considered very rare.

Moon cakes are a calorie bomb.

The raw materials are mainly flour, syrup, egg liquid, and white sugar.

This stuff has a very strong satiety effect.

The second uncle thought about it for a while and calculated the cost.

Generally, a piece of mooncake is at least three or four taels, which requires at least one ton of flour.

"When the price is placed at the trading market or the store in the buffer city, how much do you plan to sell it for?" asked the second uncle.

Li Yu stood up, looked at the bright moon, and said:

"At the very least, make sure that everyone above the non-staff level has a mooncake! In addition to the mooncakes, let's also distribute some of the leftover candies we made before."

"As for the pricing of mooncakes sold in the trading market and buffer city stores, we will tentatively decide on 5 points per piece."

5 points, converted into tortillas, that’s 20 tortillas.

One piece of moon cake is exchanged for 20 pieces of corn tortillas. It is estimated that many people cannot afford it.

But the ingredients for making this mooncake are good, including flour, egg liquid, syrup, sugar, and some dried fruits.

But a large proportion of the ingredients for tortillas are corn cobs, which were fed to pigs before the end of the world.

One piece of moon cake can be exchanged for 20 pieces of corn tortillas, which is not expensive.

After all, the cost is high.

"Five points is fine, then I'll talk to Liu Jianwu about it tomorrow." After pondering for a while, the second uncle nodded and said.

The night is as dark as ink.

Dazhangshu is 60 kilometers away.

Xing County.

The intersection of G6011 Expressway and National Highway 319.

A container sentinel that was just built not long ago stands in the southwest of the intersection.

In total darkness.

A trace of light shines through the gap between the iron plates in the container, which is particularly eye-catching at night.

As night comes, the highway is in chaos and zombies are rampant.

They come out of hiding bushes, abandoned cement pipes, sewers, rivers, and caves.

Like a hungry beast, it wanders at the intersection, raising its head and sniffing hard, searching for any trace of life.

Ho ho ho!

As it gets dark, the zombies seem to become more manic. They wander in the darkness, and occasionally a shrill roar is heard, which is frightening.

This container sentry post is about nine meters high. It was just built today.

It covers a total area of ​​80 square meters, and the habitable area reaches 160 square meters.

At this time, Tang Baer sat on the ground in the sentry post, sitting at the edge of the container, close to the window iron plate.

A light was turned on in the room.

The light illuminated the room.

Tang Baer sat on the ground and said calmly:

"Be calm, what are you afraid of? The No. 1 sentry post has been running for half a month, and there is no problem at all. So far, none of the established sentry posts have been breached by zombies. What are you afraid of?"

As he said, he stood up and walked over.

The container suddenly made a thumping sound.

Hearing this sound, he quickly slowed down his pace and sighed.

This sentry post built with a container is easy to assemble, the construction speed is also very fast, and the defense is not bad.

But there are many problems. If you walk on it casually, there will be noise, and it is not warm or insulated.

It is cold in winter and hot in summer.

It is not very breathable.

But after drilling a few more small holes, it is not so stuffy.

"Captain Tang, tell us the story of your trip to Southeast Asia?" A young man with a mole on the tip of his nose sat on a wooden board and said to Tang Baer.

Tang Baer sat on a wooden stake that had just been moved in during the day, with a look of nostalgia in his eyes and a sighing tone.

"That was a long time ago, it must have been two or three years ago. Tsk, time flies so fast."

"Captain Tang, please tell me quickly."

"Yes, Captain Tang, it is too boring for us to stay here at night. There were at least more people in the buffer city before. Now there are only ten of us."

Tang Baer waved his hand, "Okay, then I will tell you today how the city lord led us to eradicate the gang in the Southeast Asian fraud park."

"I remember it was a rainy day, you all know that rainy days are very scary."

Just when everyone pricked up their ears and listened carefully,

Dongdong!

Suddenly, there was a sound from below.

Everyone was shocked.

Boom, boom, boom! Roar, roar!

Tang Baer listened to the noise below for a while, especially after hearing the zombies' roar, he waved his hand and said to everyone:

"It's okay, just zombies, no big problem."

He took a deep breath, brought back the memories of Southeast Asia, squinted his eyes, and continued:

"At that time, the mist and rain were hazy, the leaves were flying, and we were in a temple, blocking the piled zombies. You should also know that there were no wall-climbing zombies two or three years ago."

Boom, boom, boom!

There was a slapping sound above the head, and a shrill zombie roar came from the sky.

Everyone who was concentrating on listening to Tang Baer's story was startled again.

Startled.

Everyone raised their heads and looked at the top of the container.

Obviously, there was a wall-climbing zombie climbing on top of their container.

Because there were zombies slapping the iron sheet of the container at the bottom, they didn't hear the wall-climbing zombie when it climbed up.

They didn't find out until the zombie climbed over their heads and slapped them.

Tang Baer rolled his eyes and thought to himself, why is it so difficult to tell a story.

Seeing the worried look on everyone's faces, he cursed: "What are you afraid of? Can the wall-climbing zombie break the iron sheet? It's okay, let's talk about our story."

As he said that, he said in the sound of slapping and the roar of the zombies:

"Well, continue. Uh. Where was I just talking about?"

A person next to him said: "There were no wall-climbing zombies at that time, the temple."

"Oh oh oh, right, right, in the temple, and then we"
