Chapter 710 Undercurrents [First Update]
March 25.
More than a week has passed since the construction of the third outer city began.
Uncle San and Lao Qin found and brought back the first batch of steel in Guangshi.
They will set off tomorrow, and today is just the right time to rest in the base. And because there are more people going this time, food, weapons and ammunition, and vehicles have to be prepared again, which also takes time.
This time, the number of people will exceed 100.
Uncle San and Lao Qin are still leading the way. In addition, Xiao Jun leads a combat team of ten people, plus Guo Peng, Zhu Xiao and other 40 people who went there last time.
In addition, Xiao Hu and his team from the second group of non-staff personnel were also brought in.
The main reason why Xiao Hu and his team were asked to go together this time was that they could drive a vehicle, although in the end times, there are no traffic rules and they can run around at will.
But large trucks like this are easy to overturn on this bumpy road without some skills.
Another reason is that Xiao Hu and his team have been non-staff personnel for some time as members of Group 2. After such a long investigation, they have also won the recognition of Li Yu and others, so they are given such an opportunity.
The temperature in March is much higher than the temperature before the end of the world.
The temperature in the end of the world is always so unpredictable and difficult to guess.
The temperature rises quickly and the temperature drops quickly.
When the sun rises as usual and the sun shines on the camphor tree base, Ant wakes up early in the morning. He was woken up by Xiao Hei.
After he woke up, he took Xiao Hei out of the residential building and looked at the first outer city surrounded by high walls.
At this time, in addition to him, Ju Tianrui and others also woke up and washed at the washbasin outside. After seeing Ant, they nodded slightly and said hello.
Now in the first outer city, there are more than a hundred people living here.
Lao Qin, Lao Zhou, He Chao, Lao Yi, Lao Bi, Lao Luo, Ju Tianrui and Hua Qian are all here.
Early morning, sunrise.
Everything seems to have just woken up.
The leaves of the big trees in the first outer city swayed slightly in the morning breeze.
The air is fresh, and there are several swallows' nests under the eaves.
A few swallows flew back from outside.
Looking at all this, Ant once again sighed that the camphor tree base was like this.
Apart from anything else, just from the mental outlook of the people in the camphor tree base that he had seen from yesterday to today, they felt completely different from those outside.
One was full of vitality, with a beautiful vision of the future on his face.
The other was lifeless, with confusion and worry on his face, not knowing why he was alive, and not knowing how long he could live.
"Awake?" Suddenly a voice came from the side of Ant, it was Lao Qin's voice.
Ant nodded, his face full of energy.
"Come on, I'll take you around here. It was dark last night, so I couldn't see clearly." Lao Qin patted Ant's shoulder, and then walked towards the public toilet and bathroom.
"This is where we wash."
"This is the toilet and bathroom."
"Look, if you want to drink water over there, you can get it over there. He Bing and his team got a water purifier a while ago. I think it's quite useful. I drink water over there, and the water source is groundwater."
Lao Qin took Ant to visit the entire residential building while introducing it in person.
Looking at the bathroom, Ant was a little jealous and asked, "Can I take a shower later?"
"Of course, but there is a limit to showering now. You can only take a shower for 8 minutes. I am afraid of wasting water." Lao Qin said.
Then he took out a card from his body and handed it to Ant, "You can use it later."
"Okay, Xiao Hei, you can help me watch it for a while." Ant looked down and saw Xiao Hei, and said to Lao Qin.
"Okay."
This first outer city is not big, but not small.
In addition to a basketball court, there are several roads and residential buildings. The largest area is the greenhouse. In addition, there are only a few smaller houses left, which are used to store sundries and equipment.
Soon.
Ant followed Lao Qin back to their room, and Lao Zhou lived in the same room with them.
This room was originally occupied by Lao Zhou and Lao Qin, and the space was not small.
The room is less than ten square meters, and there are two double beds, but they originally used the upper bunk to store various sundries.
After a simple cleanup yesterday, Ant slept on Lao Qin's upper bunk.
At this time, Lao Zhou also woke up.
He looked at the two people coming in from outside the door, and said with a smile: "So early."
"Good morning." Ant also greeted Lao Zhou.
After Lao Qin's introduction yesterday, Lao Zhou also knew Ant's identity, so he also had a good impression of Ant.
Lao Zhou also went to the lathe factory after retiring from the army, so everyone was a soldier, without so many twists and turns, simple, and all spoke with strength.
After Ant entered the room, he rummaged through his package and found a set of clean clothes, then handed Xiao Hei to Lao Qin and walked to the bathroom that Lao Qin had just pointed out.
When he walked into the bathroom, the whole bathroom was empty and no one was there.
These days, people in the first outer city have been busy in the construction of the third outer city. When the sun comes out and they have breakfast, they go out to work. When it is almost dark, they drag their tired bodies back, sweating.
After returning, they take a shower directly.
So basically no one takes a shower in the bathroom in the morning.
Ant looked at the empty, large bathroom, and felt an inexplicable sense of time travel.
He felt like he was back in the military camp, and this unreal feeling was disrupted by the warm water sprayed from the shower head after swiping the card.
Some soapy water squeezed out from the pipe next to him, which should also be made in the camphor tree base.
Making soap is actually not difficult or troublesome.
He scrubbed his body.
A few minutes later, as the water stopped, he was done.
He wiped his wet hair, put on his clothes and walked out of the bathroom.
The air outside the bathroom shocked him.
When he returned to the room, he saw three more wolfhounds in the room.
At this time, the three wolfhounds surrounded Xiao Hei, and Li Yu next to him scolded: "Tiezhu, Cuihua, Goudan, step back."
Tap tap tap——
Ant walked in and scolded Xiao Hei: "Xiao Hei!"
Xiao Hei heard the voice of his master and immediately shook his tail and ran towards Ant.
Li Yu saw Ant coming in and said to him with a smile: "Uncle Ant, you trained Xiao Hei very well, teach me."
Ant saw Li Yu and immediately said to Li Yu: "City Lord, how can I teach you anything? I just teach you casually."
"You are too modest." Lao Qin said happily beside him.
"The military dog he trained before had won military merits." Lao Qin said, "But... it was killed by drug dealers later."
When these words came out, Lao Qin and Ant both remembered the military dog and felt a little depressed.
However, they soon recovered.
Ant looked at the three wolfhounds and said in amazement: "City Lord, these three wolfhounds seem to understand human nature. In fact, I feel that you have taught them well. How did you train them?"
Li Yu pointed at the three wolfhounds and said: "It was just a simple training. They were beaten a lot when they were young, so they became obedient. Later, there were some simple commands and gestures, and they gradually remembered them."
After that, he shouted to the three little wolfhounds: "Lie down!"
Instantly, Tiezhu, Goudan, and Cuihua lined up in a row and lay down.
"Tiedan, get up." Li Yu said again.
Tiedan in the middle climbed up instantly.
Ant looked at the three wolfhounds. They were already more than ten months old and looked very much like wolves. This might be because the father of these three dogs was a wolf. They were the second generation and their bloodline was relatively pure.
From the appearance of these three wolfhounds, at first glance, they would definitely think they were wolves. Only in some features, there were some traces of dogs.
Tall and mighty, with shiny fur, but still a little smaller than the German Shepherd Xiaohei.
Ant watched Li Yu give commands and gestures to the three wolfhounds, and praised: "City Lord, to be honest, you have trained very well."
"Really, haha." Li Yu smiled when he heard it.
Then he looked at Lao Qin and Ant, and his expression was serious. It was Uncle San who came to tell you, and I happened to be here, so I told you.
"Uncle Qin, Uncle Ant, it is not easy to find steel in Guangshi, so you still need to go there together tomorrow to transport the remaining steel back. But this time, it will not only be you and Zhu Xiao, I will also let Xiao Jun and others go together."
Li Yu talked about the business with the two.
Lao Qin had expected it, so he nodded without any surprise and said: "No problem, Mr. Li, we will pack up today and set off tomorrow morning."
Li Yu then looked at Ant, he wanted to see Ant's statement.
Ant said without hesitation: "Of course, I am more familiar with that place, it's okay."
For Ant, as long as the captain and Lao Qin are where they are, they want to stay there.
"Okay, I'll go first. I'll go talk to Xiao Jun now." Li Yu whistled and walked out with three wolfhounds.
Soon, Li Yu found Xiao Jun again and personally assigned the task to him.
And asked Xiao Jun to take ten people with him.
Xiao Jun was excited. He admired his uncle very much and respected the members of the legendary special forces.
Now there is an opportunity to go out on a mission with three members of the legendary special forces. Just thinking about it is exciting.
So he agreed without hesitation.
After Li Yu explained all this, he left the first outer city.
When he came to the wall, the sun rose.
The time came to 7:30. In half an hour, the construction of the third outer city will continue.
In more than a week, less than ten days, the foundation of the nearly 300-meter wall has been built. Now only the underground foundation has been laid, and the ground is only more than two meters high.
The ground part, in fact, has not yet started.
It is estimated that it will take more than a month to lay this foundation.
150 acres, 100,000 square meters, the circumference is about 1,300 meters.
This is only the three-sided wall, and the wall close to the inner city can be used directly.
This is a big project.
Compared with the difficulty of construction before the end of the world, it is completely incomparable.
Before the end of the world, the materials needed only required money and ordering to be transported, but in the end of the world, these all need to be found, and some materials cannot be found, and you have to find a way to make them yourself.
Let’s not talk about anything else, just cement, in the end of the world, you need professional talents and equipment, plus collect various materials, and there are certain requirements for water sources and electricity.
If the Da Zhangshu Base had not had many collaborators to collect building materials and sufficient electricity, building such a large third outer city would be nothing more than a dream.
Time flows slowly.
Soon, many people came out from the first outer city, bringing various equipment and vehicles, and came to the third outer city outside to start construction work.
At this time, many cooperators drove some vehicles filled with various building materials to the weighbridge in the Third Outer City to be weighed.
Some of them did not come over to redeem them because it was too dark after returning from transportation yesterday, so they came here early in the morning to redeem food and points.
He Chao took a few people there to be responsible for weighing the scales, and then contacted Li Yuan in Wengcheng, asking these collaborators who handed over the building materials to exchange for food in Wengcheng.
Everything is going on in an orderly and orderly manner.
The third uncle was in the base and slept until noon.
After waking up, I did nothing. After lunch, I walked around the inner city with a teapot.
Li Gang and Sumei, a policewoman who followed Lao Lu, were together before. The third uncle watched Li Hang become a father, so he also urged Li Gang, hoping that they would get married and have a child as soon as possible.
Anyway, for the current Da Zhangshu base, raising a child is not that difficult.
Housing and basic living security can be met, so under such a prerequisite, some couples and couples in the base are planning to have a baby.
But this requires courage.
After all, this is the end of the world.
Western Conference.
Qianlong discussed with Wayne, Yao Zuo and others all night and came up with a plan to go to Gan City.
Then I found Gan Xiong.
There is a gloomy and bleak atmosphere in the Western Conference right now.
In order to reduce food consumption, they reduced the food supply for most people by one-half.
It can only maintain a half-full state, and some people with larger appetites cannot even eat three-thirds full.
"Dad, this is our plan, take a look." Qianlong handed the paper with the written plan to his father.
At the same time, he explained on the side: "We plan to act separately on the first day. Yao Zuo and I will be a team, and Wayne will be a team. There are too many people and the goals are too big to hide. .
In addition, if there are too many people, it is easy to attract zombies, so it is better to plan to separate.
When we arrived in Gan City, we first figured out the local situation and distribution of forces.
And identify the murderer who killed the third brother and the others.
The next step is to start a detailed understanding of this force.
The above is just a general plan now and is not yet complete, but once we get there, we will act accordingly based on the situation.
The entire event cycle lasts fifteen days.”
Gan Xiong frowned, listening to Gan Long's plan, and asked: "The second plan, do you plan to attract the zombies to the enemy's location yourself? And at night? This won't work, it's too dangerous, maybe you can't You are surrounded by zombies, and you will tell the truth to the zombies before the other party takes action. "
Yao Zuo's eyes flickered slightly and he said: "Boss, if we can find that force, we can use some blood to bury it in the area of that force so that the smell of blood is not strong.
Calculating the time, it will soon be April, the Qingming Festival, and if nothing unexpected happens, it will rain.
The sense of smell of zombies is much more sensitive than that of humans, and the smell is increased by rain.
When the time comes, we can destroy that base without taking action. "
Gan Xiong's eyes lit up. Faced with this plan, although he already knew the answer, he still deliberately asked: "Where did so much blood come from?"
With a sinister expression on his face, Yao Zuo said, "We will always find some survivors over there."
As soon as he said this, Wayne on the opposite side looked at him with something wrong.
I feel a chill on my back.
Cruel, too cruel.
Although in the apocalypse, this is nothing, but saying it so frankly is enough to show how cruel Yao Zuo's heart is.
After all, from a higher latitude, they are all human beings, and their common enemy is zombies.
But now they use zombies to deal with other humans.
This is somewhat anti-human behavior.
But,
Putting all this aside, Wayne was quite appreciative of this plan.
This is to use the least effort to accomplish the greatest things.
Borrow strength, use the power of zombies.
Use the power of zombies to kill other humans.
Moreover, the introduction that uses the power of zombies is still the same human blood.
Cruel enough!
Gan Xiong nodded slightly and two words came out of his mouth: "Not bad!"
After Qianlong heard it, he didn't think there was anything wrong. For him, as long as he could kill his enemy, the method and means were not important.
Gan Xiong asked them carefully about their plans, and then made modifications and improvements one by one.
In this perfect plan, one of the outstanding ones is the concealment and the one-hit kill style.
"Okay, that's almost it. You can set off tomorrow. Lao Zhuang, give them a thousand rounds of ammunition. Give them two hundred guns, and let them choose other cold weapons by themselves." Gan Xiong thought for a while and said.
A thousand rounds of bullets!
On average, gun owners only have five rounds each.
How to fight this.
When Qianlong heard this, he immediately said unhappily: "Dad, these one thousand bullets are too few. It's really just two shots and it's gone."
Gan Xiong did not answer his words, but Lao Zhuang next to him said helplessly: "Young Master, our base is really short of bullets now. To be honest, these thousand bullets were picked out from between the teeth. It’s already difficult to take out a thousand rounds.”
Gan Xiong waved his hand and said to Lao Zhuang: "Stop talking, give them five hundred shots."
Immediately, he said to Qianlong and others: "Remember my words, only be smart, not forceful, only win, not fail. These are the most elite people in our base, you have to bring them back, Understand?"
After talking about it, it became a bit serious and rude.
Qianlong heard what his father meant and nodded in agreement: "Okay, I understand."
Fifteen hundred rounds, equivalent to 200 people, with an average of less than 8 bullets per person.
Too little.
"Tomorrow morning, you can set off. Food, bullets, weapons, and vehicles must be ready." Gan Xiong finally said.
Lao Zhuang, Qian Long and others all nodded, indicating that they understood and would be ready.
Outside the room, there was a man squatting at the door and eavesdropping, listening to their plan with a twinkle in his eye.
"I'm going tomorrow. It seems I have to be prepared. If you don't let me go, then I'll go with you secretly. When I get out, it's a done deal and there's no way you'll let me go back."
After eavesdropping from the door and grasping the outcome of the discussion between his eldest brother and his father, Gan Hu quietly left, murmuring in his heart.
