Chapter 1601: The Blueprints Come Out, Li Yu's Worries

Trade Market East District, Residential Area.

Third-class housing, Building 21.

Xiaobing carried a cloth bag, looked at the sunset in the sky, and walked briskly towards the room where he lived.

Room 405.

He walked to the door and saw Xiaomei at a glance.

What surprised him was that there were four bunk beds in the room.

"Little sister, what are these wooden beds?"

The little sister heard her big brother's voice and turned around immediately while making the bed.

"Brother!"

She ran to her big brother happily, looked up at Xiaobing and asked:

"Where is Brother Feng, didn't he go to work with you?"

Xiaobing rubbed Xiaomei's dry hair and smiled:

"He went to drink, and he probably won't be back until the evening. Where did these beds come from?"

"Someone sent them in the afternoon. It seems to be someone from the Trade Market Management Office. They said there are beds in every room."

Xiaobing was a little worried when he heard this. "I wonder if the housing fee will be increased."

A man lying on the bed with his legs crossed said:

"Didn't you hear the news before? The first and second level housing are now equipped with wooden beds. It's still the same price. This news has been spread a month ago, and you didn't know it."

Xiao Bing looked at the man lying on the bed and resting, "Brother Sun is still well-informed."

The man sat up from the bed, "Did Lao Zhang go out for a drink?"

"Yes, he just went when we came back."

"Okay, I'll go find him."

Sun Wang took his number plate and walked out the door.

Xiao Bing looked at Sun Wang's back as he left and was stunned for a while.

Sun Wang was not in this dormitory before. He was a level 4 personnel and originally lived in a level 2 house. Later, he didn't know what happened and came to their dormitory.

In the whole dormitory, Sun Wang has the highest level. After staying in this dormitory, he didn't see him go out to perform tasks, and he didn't seem to have a job.

He slept in bed every day, and ran out to the bar to drink at night, and didn't return to the dormitory until daytime.

He was never seen interacting with anyone on weekdays, and everyone in the dormitory was very nice. Zhang Feng did ask about his source of points income, but Sun Wang did not give a direct answer, just said that he needed to rest for a while.

After Sun Wang left, Xiao Bing took out a multi-grain cake from the bag.

"Little sister, look at what this is?"

"Multi-grain cake, why did you buy this!" Dai Yuyi took it excitedly.

Multi-grain cakes are different from corn cakes. There is more sugar added to them, and more cooking oil.

Dai Yuyi looked up at his eldest brother, "Brother, digging ditches must be very tiring, right?"

"It's okay, at least there's food." He took out another whole corn cake from the bag.

"It's estimated that the project will last for half a month. In this half month, we can have a stable income and don't have to go out to search for supplies."

Dai Yuyi nodded excitedly. The supplies that ordinary people like them searched for when they went out, especially those without a team, could only be exchanged for enough food for them to eat for a few days each time.

It's not possible to save many points.

"Half for each of us. I can't eat that much. Here you go!" Dai Yuyi broke off half of the multi-grain cake and handed it to Dai Xiaobing.

Dai Xiaobing waved his hand and said with a smile:

"No need. I'll just eat corn cakes. You like multi-grain cakes. I'll buy you multi-grain cakes every day in the future."

"I can't eat that much!" Dai Yuyi forced half a multi-grain cake to Dai Xiaobing.

"Let's buy corn cakes tomorrow. Multi-grain cakes are more expensive than corn cakes. The weight is about the same. The points saved are enough for us to stay here for five more days."

They have become accustomed to this kind of life of splitting a penny into two petals. Although the points earned are not much, they can save more than a dozen points.

This is because they have encountered a situation where they were on the verge of starvation, so they don't want to go back to that moment no matter how difficult it is.

Little by little, they are like little hamsters, accumulating points bit by bit to prepare for the cold winter moments in the future when they may not be able to earn points.

Night falls.

Big camphor tree base.

Li Yu sat on a rattan chair on the terrace, looking through the statistical tables about the progress of the base factory and the latest season of greenhouse planting output.

After reading all the statistical reports, he put the thick report on the table and rubbed his eyebrows.

When he first started to be reborn, he just wanted to lead his family and friends to live a good life in the end times.

But who knew that with the passage of time, the camphor tree base would become so big.

Not only has the headquarters base expanded to tens of thousands of acres, but there are also two branch bases in Oil City and the North.

The population directly and indirectly managed has reached tens of thousands of people.

When the base develops to a certain extent, it can't stop, and it can only go on the road of becoming stronger and never return, and it can never go back, and it can never hide in this small village in Gan City like before.

But his mentality is slowly changing, and his ambition is growing.

Rebirth allows him to have foresight and layout in advance.

Later, when it develops to a certain scale, it gives him the possibility of dominating the unification.

There is a great chance of success, why not do it.

Now there are only three enemies in front of him.

One is the northwest, one is zombies, and one is a natural disaster.

According to the research findings of the Zombie Research Institute and the geological expert group over the years,

Zombies are related to meteorites from outer space, and natural disasters are also related to meteorites from outer space.

The trace elements in the meteorites caused the appearance of zombies and also affected the original laws of nature.

According to Madi's speculation, there is definitely not only one meteorite in the world, but there must be a huge meteorite that can affect the climate environment of the entire world.

But where it is, they don't know.

At the same time, the Zombie Research Institute has studied zombies very thoroughly so far, and it is unanimously inferred that as long as they can get the meteorites, there is a high probability that they can develop a zombie vaccine.

With the zombie vaccine, from the perspective of humans, they can launch a major counterattack.

Zombies are now slowly getting stronger, while humans cannot evolve.

As time goes by, one is strong and the other is weak.

When the end of the world just broke out, there were only many zombies, and they died after piercing their heads.

But now all kinds of mutant zombies have appeared.

There are even terrifying creatures such as wall-climbing zombies.

They don't become stronger, and no one knows what the zombies will mutate into in the end.

Humans cannot evolve, so they can only increase the population, improve technology, and improve firepower.

In addition, if a zombie vaccine can be developed, the situation will change completely.

However, the zombie vaccine is stuck in the meteorite, and the natural disaster is also related to the meteorite.

In the northwest, there are meteorites.

Three enemies, northwest, zombies, and natural disasters.

The core breakthrough point lies in the northwest. As long as the meteorite can be obtained from the northwest, the zombie vaccine can be developed, and perhaps the natural disaster will find a solution.

However, the northwest is too far away from the big camphor tree base, and its strength is also very strong.

Taking a large-scale force to the northwest to snatch meteorites over a long distance may eventually lead to a lose-lose situation, and the accumulation of the big camphor tree base over the years will be consumed.

Even the death of a large number of combatants will lead to the collapse of the power of the big camphor tree base. Once such a large plate is divided and snatched by people with intentions, the big camphor tree may fall apart in an instant.

Although the base has become so large at present, people's hearts cannot be tested.

Cooperation has not been achieved, hot wars are unwise, and there is only one way left.

Work hard to develop and become stronger, so strong that only a part of the troops need to be dispatched to destroy the northwest. By that time, the base of the big camphor tree will be stable, and destroying the northwest will become a simple matter.

So, they need time now to develop steadily.

Li Yu thought about it and got up from the rattan chair.

He walked to the edge of the terrace wall, looking at the dark sky and the purple-blue light radiating from the buffer city wall in the distance.

He sighed leisurely. There is time, but there are also some difficulties.

Natural disasters.

The larger the scale and the more people there are, the greater the impact of natural disasters.

In the past, there were only so many people, and he had the advantage of foresight. When the natural disaster was about to come, he directly ordered everyone to hide in the base and not go out.

Just wait for the natural disaster to pass slowly.

But now across three places, there are still many people who go out to do tasks, and they can't take care of them.

It has been more than three months since the thunderstorm disaster, and it still hasn't rained.

The drought has begun to show its call.

No one knows when it will rain.

If it continues without rain, the drought will become more serious.

It is bound to affect the development of Dazhangshu and Oil City.

So they are now starting to build a water plant to ensure a stable supply of water resources needed by the development.

He was thinking about something in his head, but he had sharp hearing and heard footsteps behind him.

He turned his head and saw Li Yuan at a glance.

Li Yuan was tiptoeing, and it was obvious that she wanted to scare Li Yu.

But she was discovered by Li Yu before she got close, and said unhappily:

"It's not interesting at all. How come you always know I'm here, brother?"

"Childish!"

Li Yu stretched out his index finger and flicked her forehead.

"You are so old, and you still play this kind of trick. Why do you come to me?"

Li Yuan rubbed his aching forehead and complained: "It hurts so much, brother, you really don't know how to kill your dear sister."

Li Yu's eyebrows jumped when he heard this, pretending to give her another head bang.

Li Yuan said quickly: "It's time to eat. My sister-in-law asked me to call you down to eat!"

"Oh."

Li Yu turned around and picked up the documents and reports on the table, and walked downstairs.

Today is Saturday, and an open-air movie is being played in the buffer city of the big camphor tree base.

Once a week, the seats are always full.

Watching a movie is an extremely luxurious thing for people in the end times.

It can relieve anxiety, or the survivors who are desperate in the face of hardship and comfort their hearts through the form of movies.

Today is no exception.

The huge screen is showing Tsui Hark's Seven Swords.

It is a classic work, not only watched by the fourth and fifth level personnel in the buffer city, but also by people who came out of the outer city to watch movies here, and even people from the inner city.

Although the inner city has been showing movies every week for a long time, it was indoors.

It feels completely different from watching an open-air movie.

Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue sat in the middle, eating sunflower seeds produced in the greenhouse of the big camphor tree base, chatting and waiting for the movie to start.

A dragon flashed across the screen, and a familiar sound played in the background.

"It's started, it's started."

After a few seconds of agitation, the crowd gradually quieted down.

Pairs of cloudy eyes stared at the big screen.

As survivors in the buffer city, movies may be their only pastime.

Master Luo grinned and looked at the big screen with a smile.

He had seen this movie before and it was his favorite movie.

Every man has a martial arts dream. When he was a child, he also dreamed of becoming a sword-wielding knight.

Now when I rewatch this movie, I feel an inexplicable emotion in my heart.

The classic lines from the movie "Seven Swords" keep ringing:

"There's no going back, none of us can go back."

"Don't ask if you have any regrets in the past, but ask if you have no regrets in this life."

"I think I shouldn't be a horse, I should be a swordsman"

"Bandits... they even robbed women! What kind of heroes are they?"

The classic lines in Seven Swords always make Master Luo chew on them again and again, and they become more and more interesting.

Don’t ask if you have any regrets in the past, but ask for no regrets in this life.

For these people, life before the apocalypse is completely different from life after the apocalypse.

It was as if they had died once.

Even if you live in this bloody and difficult apocalypse, don't let yourself regret it.

Oil City.

Trading bazaar.

A movie was being played simultaneously, and workers who had been tired for a long day gathered here to watch the movie.

Jie Changshan dragged his tired body and had no intention of watching a movie.

The drawings for the construction of the water plant have not yet been finalized, and his whole body is tense.

He glanced at the big screen in the distance and comforted himself: "Just get through this period. When the water plant is completed, I will definitely take three days off and get enough sleep for three days!"

Arrive at the North District office building.

Waterworks Preparatory Office.

Wang Peng, Ma Hong, and Sun Kang lay on the table and fell asleep.

Boom!

When Xie Changshan saw this scene, he was furious and kicked the door directly.

"Why are you sleeping? How could you sleep at such a critical moment!?"

Wang Peng and others were sleeping soundly when they were suddenly awakened by the loud noise.

He was startled, his fingers even trembled a few times, and his heart skipped a beat.

Wang Peng took a deep breath and patted his chest for a few times to calm down.

"General Engineer Xie, we've finished it. I'm really sleepy after not sleeping in the past few days. I'm waiting for you to come, so we just squinted for a while.

Take a look, based on the water plant drawings you gave us before, we adjusted them to local conditions and made them suitable for the trading market. "

Xie Changshan was very anxious. He really wanted to build the water plant as soon as possible.

So I couldn't control my temper for a while.

After hearing that they had done it, his expression suddenly turned to surprise.

"Come, show me."

He sat down next to Wang Peng and stared at the design drawings on the computer.

They found this water plant design drawing at the Architectural Design Institute.

After all, the waterworks project is huge and involves all aspects. It is impossible for the three of them to complete it from start to finish in three days.

However, it is not an easy task to adjust the originally designed water plant drawings to a water plant suitable for the trading market.

The design needs to be adjusted in terms of scale, purification standards, etc.

Xie Changshan read all the way. After watching for more than ten minutes, he pointed out a problem and asked Wang Peng and the others to correct it on the spot.

He just sat next to them and watched them revise.

An hour later, after adjusting to Xie Changshan's satisfaction, Xie Changshan continued to look down.

"The coagulation, sedimentation, and filtration parts are all fine, but the disinfection is too problematic. You have to know that we are using water soaked in zombies. Just relying on the set of disinfection labels before the apocalypse is definitely not enough. Need to adjust and modify”

"Okay." Wang Peng nodded. He had turned into panda eyes after not sleeping much for a few days.

The three designers continued to make modifications based on Xie Changshan's opinions. Xie Changshan stayed up late with them and sat next to them.

It's half past four in the morning.

Xie Changshan read it three times from beginning to end. After checking that there were no problems, he asked the three of them to check individually to see if any problems could be eliminated.

After the four of them found no fault, Xie Changshan was still worried, so he asked Fang Jingxin, the deputy chief engineer, to come over.

When he was woken up in the middle of the night, Fang Jingxin's face was full of reluctance, and he was in a state of death.

But he knew the urgency of the matter, so he took a closer look after washing his face.

Half an hour later, the sun came out.

"I think it's okay. I've read it twice."

Jie Changshan let out a long sigh, and Wang Peng and others next to him were even more excited.

"Print it out." Xie Changshan said.

"Okay!" Wang Peng and others heard the sound of nature. When they reached the printing step, it meant that the drawings they designed had finally been approved.

Finally, fucking passed.

If they endure it any longer, they feel like they will really endure it to death.
