Chapter 500 The Population Exceeds 300!
The situation is tense.
Even Li Yu's eyes widened and he looked at the entrance in the middle of the woods. Vehicles coming in must pass through here.
No one spoke, and even the air seemed to be frozen.
People who come here don't know whether they are enemies or friends, let alone coming here at night, it always gives people a feeling of insecurity.
Rumble~
The headlights swept over, and next to Li Yu, Li Hang directly shone a super high beam.
The light was very bright, like the lights of a stage, shining on that place very clearly.
Li Yu looked over the wall. This is
The co-pilot position, this person looks familiar.
This person is a little poem! ? ?
Zhiliu~
Because of Li Hang's high beams, Xiao Ding, who was in the driver's seat, bent the handlebars, causing the car to drive crookedly for a certain distance, and then slammed on the brakes.
"Xiaohang, point the high beams at other places, and don't shine on them." Li Yu said loudly.
He saw Xiao Ding in the driving seat. He looked familiar. He was one of the two people brought by Lao Luo back then. He had told them before that they were welcome to come back anytime.
Now this is back?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Li Yu's mind, but before he could think it through, the vehicle drove under the fence, followed by many zombies.
At night, zombies ruled the world. They were driving so grandiosely and made such a big noise, which must have attracted the attention of the zombies.
Li Yu also saw about seventy or eighty zombies following these vehicles.
The car window rolled down quickly, and Xiaoshi poked her head out and shouted at Li Yu: "Brother Li, it's me."
Li Yu frowned, and fired the gun in Xiaoshi's direction.
boom!
Xiaoshi stared at Li Yu with wide eyes, with disbelief in her eyes.
"Put your head back in the car quickly, haven't you seen the zombies behind?" Li Yu shouted angrily.
What a silly girl, she just poked her head out, and a zombie who ran up behind her just now almost caught her.
Thanks to his sharp eyes, he took out the zombie two meters behind Xiaoshi's head with one shot, otherwise it would be troublesome.
Xiaoshi also turned her head to see the corpse of the zombie, and saw that there were six or seven zombies behind her, as if she had seen her open the car window and was coming this way.
Xiaoshi quickly closed the car window, as if she just remembered that Li Yu's attitude was not very good just now, she pursed her mouth, "What's the matter?"
On the wall, Li Yu didn't want to think about who were the people in these cars for the time being, but seeing Xiaoshi's state just now, it should not be coerced.
Since she was not coerced, and there were Lao Luo's subordinates next to her, the people behind her should be the people from their headquarters base that Lao Luo said before.
Now they are surrounded by zombies, seven cars, they dare not open the door, they are waiting for Li Yu's decision.
In the two cars behind, Lao Bi and Lao Yi were a little nervous at this moment. They had never had contact with Li Yu, so they didn't know how the people in this base were. Never seen it with my own eyes.
At this time, although they were shocked by the stalwart of the wall, they were more eager to get out of the danger of being surrounded by zombies at this time.
Li Yu's shot just now startled them too.
On the fence, Li Yu glanced at the third uncle and the second uncle, wanting to hear their thoughts.
Ever since Uncle San saw Xiaoshi, he just ate tomatoes on his own, without looking at Li Yu at all.
The second uncle hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "You decide."
Li Yu then directly said to everyone: "Cover them into the Wengcheng. Wangcheng, go and open the gate."
Everyone started attacking the zombies.
After eliminating one-third of the zombies, their vehicle slowly started.
Wow~
The door opens.
Rumble~
Xiao Ding, who was at the front of the vehicle, stepped on the accelerator and rushed directly into the base at high speed. The base was now empty. During the day, Lao Qin and the others had already arrived in the outer city next door.
After Xiao Ding drove in, the vehicles behind also rushed into the base.
At the same time, the people on the wall continued to attack the zombies. Most of them put down their guns and used bows and crossbows to shoot at the zombies.
After Xiaoshi and the others came in completely, Wang Cheng quickly pressed the button to close the door.
Boom~
The moment the gate closed, the two zombies were crushed into two.
Outside the gate, there were still six or seven zombies screaming helplessly in place, but they were greeted by a few arrows.
Along with the vehicles, five or six came in, but they were quickly dealt with by the people on the fence of the base.
The lights in Wengcheng were turned on, and Li Yu quietly looked at the seven cars in Wengcheng.
He didn't lower his vigilance, nor did he put down the gun in his hand.
The reason for rescuing them was because they trusted Xiao Shi and Lao Luo and did not want them to fall into the zombies. They were reassured that they were still in a favorable position, even more advantageous than they were outside the wall just now.
There is a word for urn.
Li Yu never trusts others easily or takes risks easily.
In the urn city.
Xiao Shi got out of the car first.
Boom!
After she got off the car, she closed the door, followed by Lao Luo from another car. He also got out of the car. After getting off the car, he looked up and saw Li Yu.
He immediately said: "Mr. Li, long time no see, we have come to join you."
Hearing this, Li Yu said with a hearty smile: "Hahahaha, Lao Luo, I was worried about you a while ago, welcome, who are these other brothers who have never met before?"
From the car, Lao Bi, Lao Yi and others got off one after another. At this time, they saw that the fence was full of people, and everyone had guns in their hands, so they were a little vigilant.
The gun in his hand was not put down.
When Lao Luo saw Lao Yi and the others behind him, especially seeing them raising their guns vigilantly, he immediately said: "Lao Bi, Lao Yi, put down the gun, this is Li Yu who I have often mentioned to you before. , Mr. Li, he is the person in charge of the camphor tree base."
Then he said: "Put down your guns."
Lao Yi and Lao Bi put down their guns first, and they were a little nervous, so they raised their guns habitually.
Thinking about people like myself, they came all the way here just to be able to join others, and now they are still holding guns, Lao Yi has a bit of embarrassment on his face.
Li Yu also greeted everyone behind him: "Everyone relax, we are all our own. Put down the gun. Hahahaha."
This hearty laughter and words made Lao Yi and the others relax their tense emotions, and their faces relaxed a lot.
There is no way, they have been in the end of the world for more than a year, and they are always in a state of tension and vigilance.
Li Yu looked at them, was silent for a few seconds, and finally said: "Welcome, Xiaoshi, you should have introduced the situation of the base to them, right?"
Xiaoshi stood up, nodded to Li Yu and said, "I told them all."
Li Yu pondered for a while, and then said: "Okay, join us, but the firearms in our base are all distributed uniformly, so you may need to hand in your firearms for the time being. Then everyone will temporarily live in Wengcheng tonight ."
Hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Bi and Lao Yi were a little entangled, and handed in their guns. Isn't that just letting others slaughter them?
No, you absolutely cannot hand over the firearm.
They are against the Dazhangshu base, and they are not familiar with Li Yu. If they hand over their guns rashly, they will have no resistance.
silence.
Xiaoshi took the lead in handing over the firearms, and then said to the people behind her, "Don't worry, Mr. Li said one thing, hand it over."
Lao Luo also struggled for a while, but finally handed in the gun. He saw Lao Bi and Lao Yi struggling there, and he didn't put down the gun when he heard Xiao Shi's words, so he stepped forward and said, "If you want to We, we can’t run away either.”
The two looked around and saw people everywhere. The high wall blocked them and they couldn't run anywhere.
Since you have to do it, do it thoroughly.
After fighting inside for a while, Lao Bi finally put down his gun, and Lao Yi also put down his gun.
Li Yu was very satisfied when he saw this scene.
Does he know that these people used to be soldiers, and their combat effectiveness is good, but for Li Yu, the most important thing is to use people who can obey orders and command.
Those who are very capable but not very loyal may be able to ignore their character before the end of the world, but in this end of the world, human nature is too unpredictable and there is no law to restrain it, so we must remain vigilant.
These people were able to hand over their guns, at least it showed that these people had a basic trust in the base, or they still believed in Xiao Shi and Lao Luo.
This is very important.
Li Hang and the others removed the handed-in firearms and placed them in the duty room.
Li Yu saw that they had all handed in their guns, so he also said frankly: "We have rules here, and everything is done according to the rules. In fact, there are points standards for entering the city in the base. It stands to reason that you just came, so you can't directly Those who entered the outer city are just that, in the previous Luo Tianyan, Lao Luo and the others contributed a lot, so I let you join directly.
Let me talk about responsibilities. When going out to perform tasks, personnel who need to be on duty are not allowed to refuse to protect the safety of the base.
Then there are some regulations that need to be followed by the base. Cannon will explain them to you later.
The last thing is the welfare benefits. In terms of food, it is uniformly prepared to meet everyone's daily basic food. "
Upon hearing this last point, their eyes widened in disbelief, especially Lao Bi and Lao Yi.
If you were to join a base and get food and accommodation included, this would be a great deal in the end of the world.
It's just that they feel something is wrong. I heard from Lao Luo and the others that they can exchange for food according to their contributions. How come they can directly meet the basic food needed for a day now.
Seeing Lao Bi and Lao Yi in high spirits, Lao Luo couldn't help but laugh, especially after hearing that Li Yu was able to distribute daily food to them.
Originally, he wanted to ask about the 1,000 tons of grain he had received from the military base, and Li Yu promised to give them half of it. This matter was discussed privately by Li Yu and Lao Luo.
That's 500 tons, but later because Lao Luo and the others were too few, they could only move a few dozen tons.
But now, people like myself have already said to join the big camphor tree base, and what Li Yu said is that the food is full, that is, they don't have to worry about food anymore.
But, that's five hundred tons.
Just a few dozen of them can eat it for 70 years!
But now, it’s hard to bring up this matter anymore.
Promises are important, but in the end of the world, anyone who promises to give you 500 tons of grain and actually does it is a fool. Lao Luo also thought that Li Yu would regret it. To be honest, he never had the luxury. Li Yu would really Give him 500 tons of grain directly.
This is the last days, this is the last days when food is scarce.
What dignity, what integrity, what face, is it more important to be able to keep yourself alive and those around you alive?
Li Yu did not mention the 500 tons of grain, but directly stated that they could distribute enough grain every day, which was actually a promise fulfilled from the side.
Knowing this, Lao Luo no longer asked for extravagance. The result like now is quite good.
In the current base, He Chao's contribution has basically reached a relatively high value, and the food exchanged is now enough every day.
After Uncle Qin and the others completed these several missions together, they had enough food, so those of them who entered the outer city had solved the food shortage problem.
After explaining some more things, and seeing that it was getting late, Li Yu asked them to rest for one night and wait until tomorrow to see the situation and move to the outer city next to them.
The night is dark and there is no moon tonight.
After Li Yu returned to the room, he put his hands behind his head and thought quietly.
Today, among the people in the outer city, there are almost forty people led by He Chao, fourteen people in He Bing, and thirty people in Uncle Qin's side. There are eighty-four people here, including the forty people Xiao Shi brought here today.
By then, the number of people in the outer city will reach 124.
Including the 140 people in the inner city of the base, the population in the base alone reaches 263, if some non-staff personnel outside are included.
The total number of people exceeds 300!
This scale, in this apocalyptic world, is already a medium scale.
In fact, when the apocalypse first broke out, there were organizations with tens of thousands of people, but in the end they all collapsed due to the food shortage crisis.
To feed 10,000 people, the logistics are extremely stressful. Even the hundreds of tons of grain that Li Yu and the others received, after the rice was shelled, was only enough to feed 10,000 people for two or three months.
In this end of the world, population is not the only symbol of strength, sometimes it is more of a burden.
But for the big camphor tree base, this population is still at a stage that can be controlled, but the current planting area is 60 mu, which cannot satisfy the self-sufficiency of these hundreds of people.
Although they are supported by hundreds of tons of grain, they cannot sit back and have nothing, because some grain still needs to be exchanged with those outside the base.
This exchange method allows them to use the least amount of food to gain maximum influence and deterrence.
Therefore, now that things have come to a point, the scale of the base must be expanded.
Thinking, thinking, Li Yu fell asleep.
