Chapter 1685 You Are Too Late

319 National Highway.

The former camphor tree base was inside the rural road, a few hundred meters along the rural road.

Behind a forest on an inconspicuous path on the rural road.

But with the expansion of the camphor tree base over the years, it now covers the rural road, and even extends the buffer city wall to the national highway outside.

Zhao Bin's transport convoy approached the camphor tree base.

Lu Kuan and others on the truck bed came here for the first time in so many years.

A majestic city wall stretches along the national highway like a giant dragon.

There is a dense purple-blue light strip on the city wall, which looks solemn and sci-fi under the gray sky.

The city wall is tall, and the surface of the concrete wall is smooth and fine, which looks very solid.

From bottom to top, there are three sharp gate knife lines that divide the city wall into three parts.

On the city wall, there are many sentry towers.

There are armed guards on each sentry tower. These guards are tall and mighty, with majesty in their indifferent eyes.

After seeing this scene, Lu Kuan and others were so shocked that they forgot to breathe.

"Brother Lu Kuan, is this the big camphor tree base? It's so big!" Ai Shan sat on the truck bed and asked after swallowing his saliva.

"It should be the big camphor tree base." Lu Kuan was also a little surprised after seeing it.

He didn't expect the big camphor tree base to be so big. It looked at least a few hundred acres.

Fang Shun looked thoughtful, "The height of this wall is probably more than 30 meters high."

As the vehicle approached the wall and drove along the national highway, they still didn't see the end of the wall.

This means that the big camphor tree base is bigger than they thought!

After driving hundreds of meters along the national highway, the vehicle stopped.

There were hundreds of vehicles lined up in front to enter the urn city of the big camphor tree buffer city.

They sat on the truck bed and could see farther.

This national highway runs north-south, and they came down from the north.

There was a huge open space in front, and to the south of the open space, there was also a long line of vehicles.

After waiting for five minutes, the convoy began to move.

Lu Kuan looked at the huge camphor tree base, which somewhat overturned his previous impression of the camphor tree base.

He did not expect the camphor tree base to be so huge and have so many people.

At the city gate.

An electric gate stopped the vehicle, waiting for the convoy inside to pass the security check before they could get their turn.

However, the inspection speed in the city was also very fast.

In just seven or eight minutes, they were released.

The electric gate at the city gate moved to both sides, and a man holding a sign in one hand held the sign in one hand and motioned the vehicle to go inside with the other hand.

Boom——

The car that Lu Kuan and his team were in drove inside.

There were four lanes in total, but they took the freight lane.

Each lane had several checkpoints to check and register the vehicle.

The first checkpoint was to check whether there were any dangerous explosive items on the vehicle and whether there were any zombies under the vehicle.

At the second checkpoint, all people in the car had to get off the car for inspection to rule out whether the people entering were at risk of infection, and a special person got on the car to check the goods on it.

It was very fast.

After Zhao Bin got off the car, he turned his head and shouted to Lu Kuan and others in the truck bed:

"Get off the car and accept the inspection."

As he said, he and the co-pilot team walked towards the detector.

Lu Kuan and others hurriedly got off the car.

This detector is similar to the detector at the airport. After people pass through a door, an inspector will scan them with the instrument.

After Zhao Bin and his friends passed the inspection, they stood at the back waiting for them.

"Your luggage backpacks must also be taken down for security inspection." Zhao Bin reminded them when he saw that they didn't take anything.

While they were going through security inspection, Zhao Bin trotted all the way to the main control booth of Wengcheng.

In the main control booth, there was a row of cameras with pictures of various checkpoints in Wengcheng.

Knock knock——

Zhao Bin knocked on the door.

The door opened.

A monitoring staff member in the main control room looked at him puzzledly, "What's wrong?"

"I am a level 3 personnel in Group 34, responsible for transporting sand and stone materials. On the way back, I met a few survivors. Someone in them knew Supervisor Yu. I would like to ask Supervisor Yu if I want to go over and take a look?" Zhao Bin said quickly.

The monitoring room staff pointed to the city entry registration office in the distance and said:

"Manager Yu has gone to the registration office. You can go there to find him later."

"Okay, thank you." Zhao Bin nodded and turned to leave.

The urn city of the big camphor tree base is exactly the same as the urn city of the trading market.

Basically, you have to go through security checks to enter the buffer city. After passing the weighbridge, the number of vehicles transported by these transporters and the weight of sand and gravel will be recorded, and they will be given corresponding points based on this.

The location of the registration office is very important.

It involves the contribution points of all level 3 and 4 personnel.

Before, Jia Tan sat in this position, but because Jia Tan embezzled and maliciously deducted the points of level 4 personnel, and because of rebellion, he was killed by Li Yu.

So, Li Yu arranged Lai Dongsheng, who he trusted more, to take charge of this position.

After waiting at the security checkpoint for three minutes, Zhao Bin received Lu Kuan and others, but did not let them get on the car.

Because the next checkpoint is to pass the weighbridge to weigh the truck.

When they left the city, they registered the number of people and the weight of the empty vehicle. Now they are returning and the number of people on the vehicle must be the same so as to calculate the weight of the sand and gravel cargo.

After passing the weighbridge, they came to the registration office.

There are seven or eight staff at the registration office, lined up in a long corridor. These staff are just under the corridor, each with a computer, to register the information of people entering the city.

Their registration is very fast.

The person in charge who comes in after transporting goods from outside only needs to go over with the number plate, compare it with the tonnage that the weighbridge just carried, and then put the points on the number card, and then he can leave.

There are two windows dedicated to registering new people.

Zhao Bin handed the number plate to Yaoji and asked him to register and sign on his behalf.

He led Lu Kuan and others to the newcomer registration office on the right.

There is no queue at the newcomer registration desk, so they can apply directly.

"Where's Director Yu?" Zhao Bin asked the registration staff inside.

The registration clerk glanced at him and said, "What's the matter?"

"Someone new knows him."

Upon hearing this, the registration officer turned his head and shouted towards the lounge behind:

"Director Yu, someone is looking for you."

In the lounge, Yu Lei was smoking and chatting with Lai Dongsheng. After hearing the registration officer's call, he quickly ran out.

Lai Dongsheng from behind also walked out.

"Who's looking for me?" Yu Lei looked outside the registration desk curiously.

The registration desk was separated from the outside by a layer of glass, so they could see what was going on outside.

"He's looking for you." The registration officer pointed at Zhao Bin and said.

Zhao Bin waved his hand,

"Director Yu, it's like this. I met a few people on the way back and said they knew you. See if you recognize them."

He mainly felt that if Lu Kuan and Yu Lei knew each other well, he could at least gain a good impression of Yu Lei in front of his supervisor by bringing them over.

With that said, he pulled Lu Kuan behind him.

Lu Kuan looked embarrassed and looked at Yu Lei inside.

Yu Lei seems to have not changed much from a few years ago, he still looks the same.

But Lu Kuan has changed a lot compared to a few years ago.

Moreover, we only met once, so the impression was not deep.

Yu Lei stared at Lu Kuan and recalled for a long time without recognizing Lu Kuan.

"Who are you?" Yu Lei asked tentatively.

He really didn't recognize it.

Hearing what Yu Lei said and the way Zhao Bin looked at him looked wrong, Lu Kuan felt even more embarrassed.

"Director Yu, my name is Lu Kuan. We met at the Electric Power Building in Ji City four years ago. At that time, you mentioned the Da Zhangshu Base to us."

Yu Lei took two steps forward and stood in front of the registration desk and looked at Lu Kuan carefully.

After thinking about it for a long time, I still couldn't remember what Lu Kuan looked like.

However, he remembered that a few years ago he often went to Jishi to search for supplies.

"Oh~ Lu Kuan, I seem to have an impression. Why did you come to the Zhangshu Base now?" Yu Lei asked.

He had seen them a few years ago, but they had just come here now, which made him a little confused.

Yu Lei's "Oh" has a very long ending, and it has an obvious feeling of pretending to remember if you don't remember.

Lu Kuan blushed a little and replied:

"I haven't thought about it before, plus it was affected by some things."

Yu Lei nodded. He didn't intend to break the casserole and ask the truth. Everyone has different ideas. Some people like freedom, while others want to seek stability.

It seems that the group of people in front of them can't stay outside any longer, and they are thinking of coming to the Zhangshu Base now.

"Okay, welcome to the Great Zhangshu Base."

Yu Lei thought for a while and said:

"Coming to Dazhangshu Base is a correct decision, and you will not regret it in the future."

"Xiao Song, register them." Yu Lei turned his head and looked at the registration officer standing next to him.

"Okay, Director Yu." Xiao Song, the registration clerk, said quickly.

After Yu Lei finished speaking, he gave up his registration position and Xiao Song quickly sat down.

Director Yu is right behind him, which is an excellent opportunity to show off.

Xiao Song straightened his body, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, what is the name of your team?"

"Name?" Lu Kuan was a little confused. They didn't have it at all.

"If not, you can pick one up now." Xiao Song added.

Lu Kuan looked at the four team members behind him, thought for a few seconds and then said:

"Let's call them the Wutiaoren team."

"OK."

After registering, Lu Kuan took the red number plate handed to him and followed Zhao Bin with Ai Shan and others.

Zhao Bin turned his head and glanced at Lu Kuan, but hesitated to speak.

Yu Lei's reaction to him just now was obviously unfamiliar, and he didn't even recognize him.

Damn, I thought he was really familiar with Yu Lei.

never mind.

Zhao Bin reminded him out of good intentions:

"After entering the city later, go find the people wearing green vests in the city. They will take you to familiarize yourself with the situation inside."

Lu Kuan said gratefully: "Thank you."

"It doesn't matter."

Crunchy——

The buffer city fence opens.

The vehicle in front drove in, Zhao Bin climbed into the car and left a few words.

"I still need to unload the goods, so you can go in on your own."

After saying that, he took a car and entered the buffer city.

Lu Kuan led Ai Shan and the four of them and walked inside with some anxiety.

After entering the buffer city, they saw the scene inside.

Cars are like running water and horses are like dragons.

Buildings rising from the ground, people coming and going, and tall hanging towers in the distance, with workers building on them.

A scene of great prosperity.

Let them see it dizzyingly.

What surprised them even more was that there was a taller wall standing further away.

"Brother, what's inside that wall?" Ai Shan asked doubtfully.

"I don't know." Lu Kuan shook his head. He really didn't know.

Although he knew about the Dazhangshu Base early on, he actually didn't know much about the situation at the Dazhangshu Base.

The big camphor tree base in front of him subverted his previous imagination.

This is a completely different concept from Jiefang City back then, just like the difference between a village and a city.

From what they saw alone, there must be at least two thousand people.

I really don’t know how many people there are in the Da Zhangshu Base.

Then, Lu Kuan looked at a man wearing a green vest on the right.

Remembering Zhao Bin's reminder just now, he walked over.

"Hello, we are newcomers who just came in. What should we do next?"

Before he could finish his words, the buffer city patrol officer wearing a green vest said impatiently:

"Didn't you see the warning signs in the Wengcheng just now?"

He pointed at the bulletin board in the row next to him and said:

"Instructions for entering the city, go and see over there."

"The buffer city guide map and the procedures for entering the city are all written over there. Please read the pictures and text carefully."

"Ahem, thank you." Lu Kuan blushed a little. He had been thinking about things and didn't notice the slogans and reminders posted everywhere in the urn city.

"Forget it." I'll take you to the accommodation department to report.

The man in the vest handed the sign in his hand to the person next to him and lifted up his pants.

He put his hand on the pistol bag and said, "Erlong, I'll leave this to you. I'll take them there."

"Okay, team leader."

Ding Ming, the first team leader of the third squadron of the patrol squadron, nodded and said to Lu Kuan and others behind him:

"Come with me, hurry up."

Lu Kuan and others quickly packed their bags and followed closely behind Ding Ming.

But at this moment, several people wearing black combat uniforms came towards them

After Ding Ming saw the leading man, he quickly stood up straight.

"Hello, Director!"

Lao Lu is the director of the Security Department of the Da Zhangshu Force. The Security Department has three departments: patrol brigade, internal security brigade, and commando team.

At this moment, he was going to the buffer city wall to inspect security issues.

Lao Lu nodded toward him and glanced at Lu Kuan and others behind him, but he didn't pay too much attention.

Just glance at it and ignore it.

Just as he was about to continue walking forward, a voice suddenly came from beside him.

"Captain Lu!" Lu Kuan's eyes widened and he looked at Lu Cheng in disbelief.

He didn't expect that Lu Cheng, the guard captain of Jiefang City five or six years ago, was here.

This is really outrageous.

They were all in Jiefang City before, so they were quite familiar with each other.

Lu Cheng's children are about the same age as his children back then. They lived two buildings next door in Jiefang City and met often.

When Lao Lu heard this name, he was a little surprised.

Captain Lu was called Captain Lu. In addition to the members of the armed police who followed him, and those who were in Jiefang City, he was called Captain Lu, but he was basically not called like this anymore.

At the Da Zhangshu Base, everyone calls him Director Lu, or just Director.

"Who are you?" Lao Lu looked at Lu Kuan carefully with confusion on his face. He seemed familiar, somewhat familiar but couldn't remember who it was.

Lu Kuan took two steps forward and said quickly:

"I, Lao Lu, Lu Kuan, we used to live next door to each other in Jiefang City. My wife used to take your Zifei with her!"

"Lu Kuan?" Lao Lu recalled for a while and gradually got an impression.

The appearance of Lu Kuan in his memory slowly overlapped with that of the man in front of him.

An old friend from Jiefang City!

In the past, his daughter often played with Lu Kuan's children. He could often see Lu Kuan and would say hello when they met.

"Lu Kuan, I remember, it's you! How did you become like this?"

"When Jiefang City collapsed, where did you go?"

Seeing that Lao Lu remembered him, Lu Kuan said excitedly:

"I went to Jishi and also stayed in Xing County for a while."

"Then why didn't you come to Da Zhangshu Base earlier? It's such a close distance."

"Well, it's a long story. When Jiefang City collapsed, my children and wife died in the turmoil. After that, I didn't really want to join any force." When Lu Kuan mentioned this, he felt a little sad.

Lao Lu looked at him with a look of pity.

"Understood, but you really should have come to the Zhangshu Base earlier. There are many people here from Jiefang City, including Bai Jie, Xiao Shi, and Anya."

"Bai Jie?" Lu Kuan thought for a long time before he remembered who Bai Jie was.

"You guys came too late."

Lao Lu looked at Lu Kuan and felt a little sad.

The people who came out of Jiefang City were scattered in all directions.

Some people joined the early Da Zhangshu base, and now they are at worst level 2 outer city personnel, and most of them are level 1 inner city personnel.

When Lu Kuan joined at this time, he was only a level 5 personnel. Even if he was taken care of, he would only be a level 4 personnel at most.

It's not as easy to climb up now as it used to be.

You need to pass various task assessments and upgrade based on your contribution.

When Lao Lu first joined, there wasn't even an outer city at that time.

If the camphor tree base is a company, Lao Lu is actually equivalent to the original shareholder, holding the original shares.

At this moment, Lu Kuan joined, which is actually a bit like a company that has raised funds in rounds of ABCDEF and has already rung the bell to go public, and Lu Kuan and his team just bought the shares.
