Chapter 1581 I Have Made It. I Am Watching an Outdoor Movie in the End Times!
Big camphor tree base.
Li Yu held Li Pingan, who was already half a year old, and walked with Yutong in the garden.
In the quiet night, insects chirped in the grass under the tree.
Yutong walked side by side with Li Yu. Li Pingan, who was six months old, babbled and stretched out his white and tender little hands. Li Yu smiled and rubbed his pink cheeks with his stubble.
Wow wow wow!
Li Pingan was pricked by the stubble and cried. Yutong quickly hugged Li Pingan to comfort him.
While glaring at Li Yu with complaint, "Why do you always do this kind of thing, like a child, and make him cry again."
Li Yu smiled and did not refute. The two walked to a row of seats on the side of the road and sat down.
He put his hands behind his head, looking at the stars in the sky, his thoughts flying.
He thought about the conversation between his third uncle and himself a few hours ago.
The foreign troops in Yantong City must have come here by coincidence.
After understanding the situation, Li Yu felt relieved.
After all, he no longer has the advantage of rebirth, and he no longer has foresight. Many unexpected things will also make him a little worried.
In addition, the judge and his team found a destroyer, but the destroyer has not been repaired for so many years, and the electronic equipment on the ship has been destroyed by the magnetic storm, which is a pity.
However, there are still many things inside that can be dismantled and moved away, which is a pleasant surprise.
As for the mention of sending people to stay in the South Paradise, after consideration, it was decided to rotate the garrison.
On the one hand, whether it is the people from the trading market or the members above level three who arrive there, they can also have a shelter to rest at night.
On the other hand, it is also to prevent the arrival of foreign troops later, as they are closer to the place and can discover it faster.
Once the natural disaster comes, if the time is right, let them withdraw to the trading market, if the time is not right, they can stay in the South Paradise.
After all, Crazy and Xie Shangfu survived the thunderstorm disaster there.
If there are not many people, they give up the wall and retreat to the building, and there are no problems with food and other aspects, they should be able to survive the natural disaster.
"Brother Yu, what are you thinking about?" Yutong saw that Li Yu was in a daze for a long time, so she asked.
After hearing Yutong's voice, Li Yu came back to his senses and said with a smile:
"It's okay, I'm going to the trading market in a few days."
"Oh, okay." Yutong nodded.
"Will you feel bored staying in the base? Do you want to go with me?" Li Yu looked at Yutong and remembered that since Yutong joined the camphor tree base, she rarely went out.
In his impression, the original little sloppy was a very jumpy person.
Yutong shook her head and said, "I won't go. I want to take care of Ping'an."
"It's okay, my parents can help us look after it."
"Forget it, I don't really want to go out now." Yutong insisted.
Li Yu knew that she didn't want to go out because it was dangerous outside. Maybe she really settled down after becoming a mother.
Now Yutong is in the base, mainly taking care of Li Ping'an and working in the logistics department.
The director of the logistics department of the Dazhangshu base is Li Yuan, and the deputy director is Yutong.
The in and out of materials, and the material applications of all parties must be approved by them.
"How much food reserves does our base have now?" Li Yu asked.
Yutong answered without hesitation: "4218 tons. In a week, we will take out another 300 tons of food and transport them to the trading market."
"The food consumption in the oil city and the trading market is too high. I think we can build a buffer city and greenhouses in the trading market like the Dazhangshu base in the future, so that the oil city can be self-sufficient."
Li Yu smiled and said:
"The project volume is relatively large. Well, the suggestion you mentioned can be considered."
There were actually many factors that were considered before not building a food production area in the trading market.
First, he didn't want the trading market to become too comprehensive. Once the military force, food production, and economic trade were all comprehensive, in case of rebellion.
The rebels have such a comprehensive trading market, which will pose a great threat to the camphor tree base, and the camphor tree base cannot suppress the trading market.
Second, the population of the trading market was not large at that time. Before the thunderstorm disaster, the trading market had only one or two thousand people. To build such a large project, there were not enough people.
However, now, it is possible to gradually carry out food planting in the trading market.
There are a large number of redundant laborers in the trading market. These laborers cannot stay in the trading market and can only go out to find a way out.
After all, the construction of houses and walls in the trading market does not require many people.
At least compared with the scale of tens of thousands of survivors, it does not account for one-tenth.
Most of the survivors have gone out, and now there is very little food to be found.
Some people eat wild vegetables and fruits in the mountains and forests, or various edible root plants to fill their stomachs, while some people go out to do various tasks such as searching for materials and equipment, and return to the trading market to exchange points for a living.
Of course, some people start to grow their own crops, but their planting is full of uncertainty.
It is very likely that a natural disaster, a zombie wave, or other survivors coming to plunder may result in the crops not having a good harvest in the end.
And as the trading market prospers, more and more people go to the trading market to perform tasks and return to the trading market to exchange points, and then exchange for food. This method is much faster than growing food by yourself.
Growing food by yourself requires time investment and is also very risky.
It is better to focus on the various tasks issued by the trading market, go out to perform them and exchange them for points, and then you can get food immediately.
As long as you complete the corresponding tasks, you can get points in a short period of one or two days or a long period of one month.
Points mean food.
At present, the driving force for the development of the trading market is food.
Now the population of the trading market is increasing, and the amount of food consumed is increasing. Even if the big camphor tree base can still supply it now, the food in the north will be mature in two months.
But you have to plan ahead. The development speed of the oil city has exceeded Li Yu's expectations.
Building a third layer of walls in the trading market to absorb labor is also a trend to some extent.
In fact, although the camphor tree base consumed a lot of food in the past few days, it also collected the construction materials, automobile assembly parts, various equipment, gold ore and other materials needed for the camphor tree base and the oil city through tens of thousands of survivors in the trade fair.
The two sat on the chairs on the roadside for a while, then got up and returned to the villa area.
Night came.
Some strange scenes appeared in the trade fair.
Under the wooden poles set up outside the North District Prison, the hanging corpses looked a little gloomy and terrifying. There were few people here, and only a few patrol members passed by here.
Behind the building behind Shop No. 1 in the commercial district, there was a large group of densely packed people, lively and noisy.
Obviously they were both in the trade fair, but there were completely different atmospheres on both sides.
The row of buildings behind Building No. 1 was recently built, six stories high, nearly twenty meters.
And in this row of buildings, a huge screen was hung from top to bottom.
About 15 meters away from the screen, the three lying flat group brought small stools and sat in the middle.
"Brother Hong, fortunately, after watching the murder, we bought some wine and food and ran over to take a seat. Our position is considered a prime area!" A Bao said to Hong Shixiong with a smile.
After watching the murder, we bought some wine and food to watch the movie for entertainment.
Only Hong Shixiong and his friends can be so leisurely.
Hong Shixiong smiled and didn't answer.
He ate the mutton skewers and took a sip of the sweet potato stew.
Tsk~
Huh~
"Come on, A Bao, have a sip." Hong Shixiong handed the sweet potato stew in his hand to A Bao.
A Bao took the wine and didn't drink it immediately.
There was a paper bag on a small folding table in front of them, and there were fried peanuts in the bag.
The best appetizers for drinking white wine are meat and peanuts.
Even meat can't compare to fried peanuts.
He pinched a fried peanut and put it in his mouth.
He licked the salt on his hands.
Chewed.
Crunch~
Then he took a sip of the sweet potato stew, which was rich in flavor with peanuts and wine.
Then the hot wine rushed straight into his throat and reached his stomach. He shivered, his stomach was warm, and a stream of hot air came out of his head.
Clear! Transparent!
This wine is brewed from pure grains, and it tastes overbearing and transparent.
Comfortable!
"Brother Hong, take a sip." A Bao handed the sweet potato stew to Hong San on the right of Hong Shixiong.
Hong San was eating a multi-grain cake, took it, and took a sip.
Huh——
The strong smell of wine gushed out of his mouth.
Cool!
What could be more comfortable than staying in a safe place to watch a movie, eating food and drinking wine in the dangerous end of the world?
Nothing else!
Especially the envious and jealous eyes around them, which made the three of them feel extremely satisfied.
The other survivors worked hard to earn points, but the three of them lay flat, enjoying the leisurely life of the end of the world.
This kind of life, even if it can only last for two years, will die immediately!
They are also content.
Hong San moaned happily:
"Brother Hong, it's so happy to follow you! A small drink every three days, a big drink every five days,
Going to a disco once a week. Going to Tingfenglou four times a month to have fun, damn! A fairy-like life!
I didn't have such a life before the end of the world!"
Hong Shixiong ate peanuts and said with a smile:
"Finish this bottle of sweet potato wine. I bought three bottles this time. Drink comfortably!"
"Brother Hong is awesome!"
"Brother Hong is awesome!"
Hong Shixiong's face was calm and contented, the evening breeze was gentle, and he was full of comfort.
Sometimes he also felt that he was so lucky, just before the thunderstorm, the truck full of supplies drove in.
It's so fucking comfortable!
I'll make a small stove and get a bottle of white wine next time.
Let's try the so-called "Eating pickles and tofu is more satisfying than the emperor".
People should enjoy themselves in time. You can't mistreat others but your own stomach.
He touched his fat stomach and smacked his lips.
There were tens of thousands of people in the crowd. Some people stood very far away and couldn't see clearly.
But there was no way. They came too late and could only watch from the back for fun.
In the middle of the dense crowd, there was a giant projector.
"Xia Tian, are you ready?" Old Huang came over.
Showing movies was one of the strategies he proposed for building spiritual civilization among the survivors of the trading market, and he didn't want to screw it up.
What's more, he applied with great difficulty.
He submitted the film to Uncle San for two reasons: to increase the happiness of the survivors and to soothe their hearts. Enhance their sense of identification with the trading market and highlight the strength of the oil city.
After hearing Lao Huang's words, Xia Tian adjusted the angle of the projector and replied:
"Don't worry, I used to work as a projectionist. This is very simple."
As he spoke, he adjusted the fixed angle and turned on the switch.
A beam of light was projected from the projector and illuminated on the big screen of the building in front.
They found this big screen from a movie theater. This kind of big screen is a professional screen for showing movies. It is composed of a metal frame, a curtain and a reflective layer.
The curtain is usually made of white textile or plastic material with a metal layer coated on the surface to improve reflectivity and image quality.
The effect of playing movies on this big screen is much better than the effect of projector shining on the wall.
This large screen is 28 meters wide and 18 meters high. It is extremely huge, almost the same size as a small concert screen.
Can be seen by many people.
The survivors standing in front of the building cheered when they saw light appearing on the big screen in front of them.
"Holy shit, holy shit, you can really see it!"
"Mom, I'm successful. I'm watching a movie in the last days! Such a big screen!"
"roll!"
in the crowd.
Sui Dahua looked at the wall with some worry, and then at the eight large speakers around him.
He said with some worry: "Qingwen, if so many speakers are turned on at the same time, they may spread far away. The sound is so loud that it can easily attract zombies, which feels a bit dangerous."
Xu Qingwen glanced at him and said with a smile:
"Although the movie is played loudly, zombies will still come outside the wall even if the sound is not played so loudly. Do you think zombies can get in?"
"Forehead"
Sui Dahua hesitated and said:
"But I think it's still a bit dangerous, in case we attract more zombies than usual."
Before he finished speaking, Xu Qingwen interrupted him and said:
"No matter how many zombies there are, are there as many zombies as there are in thunderstorms and natural disasters? Even if there are wall-climbing zombies, we still have ultraviolet lights on the wall. Look at so many ultraviolet lights. The leaders of Oil City must have thought more carefully than us. Don’t worry!”
Hearing what he said, Sui Dahua felt relieved.
"Dad, I'm so happy to watch TV! I haven't watched TV for a long time." A little girl next to Xu Qingwen said to Xu Qingwen excitedly with a smile on her face.
"Just be happy."
Xu Qingwen did not correct her on the difference between TV and movies.
He just smiled and touched her head, feeling happy and a little sad at the same time.
Watching a movie, something that was normal before the apocalypse, seemed so luxurious in the apocalypse.
And this was also the first movie they watched in the apocalypse, and the trading market did not charge them.
We just ask them not to crowd or compete for positions.
Everyone's viewing position is on a first-come, first-served basis. Those who arrive first can stand in the best position, and those who arrive later can only stand at the back.
Fifty meters away from the big screen, a seven or eight-year-old boy sat on the man's shoulders.
"Wow, Lao Deng, what is that?"
"Movie!"
"What is the movie?"
The man was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that his son was watching a movie for the first time in his life.
Born a year before the end of the world, he has almost no memory of the time before the end of the world.
They were born into the end of the world and have never seen many things before the end of the world.
So in front of them, movies are rare things.
"The movie is"
He didn't know how to answer this question for a while.
"You'll know when you see it."
"Before the apocalypse, we would go to the movies from time to time as a way of entertainment."
"Oh." The little boy seemed to understand.
"Is the movie good?" the little boy continued to ask.
The man thought for a while and said, "Some movies are good and some are not. It mainly depends on what kind of movie they are playing."
He was also looking forward to what movie would be shown tonight.
