Chapter 712: Going to the Camphor Tree Base [3rd Update, Extra Update for 50,000 Reward From Boss Yanhuayu]
March 26th.
The sun is shining, the sky is blue and the clouds are white.
On this day, it is an extraordinary day for many people.
On this day, your Da Zhangshu Base started its second trip to Guangzhou to transport steel.
In Xingxian County, after seven or eight days of traveling, Dongfeng and others came down from Lushan Mountain and embarked on the road to the Dazhangshu Base.
Behind them, Xu Chengcai and his son followed closely.
On the same day, Qianlong, Wayne Yaozuo and others from the Western League, who had been preparing for several days, were finally leaving for Gan City.
In the past, there were two purposes, one was revenge, and the second was to find ways to plunder food and supplies from that place to alleviate the current predicament of the Western Alliance.
When there are huge internal conflicts that cannot be resolved, the conflicts must be transferred externally.
Gan Xiong knows this well.
That's why he must retain his strength after letting Qianlong pass. He can only win, not lose.
Because after they come back, they can take some less important people and go to Yishi or Honghe Sanshan Village again to consume their own manpower and reduce food pressure. On the other hand, they can plunder food from other places.
This is the method Gan Xiong came up with.
at this time.
Gan Xiong personally came to the door of the Western Alliance and watched Qian Long and others leave.
"Where's Xiaohu? Isn't he here to see off his brother?" Gan Xiong asked with some confusion when he saw that Gan Hu was not around.
Lao Zhuang said with a stern expression: "I went to his room this morning, and he kicked me out and told me that he wouldn't come to see me off."
"Sigh. When will he change his bad temper and impulsive character?" Gan Xiong felt helpless towards his second son.
It's okay if you don't come to see her off. It saves you money. He said that he would go with him.
But unbeknownst to him, Gan Hu was hiding in the back compartment of one of the cars.
The two people sitting next to him said to Gan Hu with a wry smile: "Brother Hu, if Brother Long finds out, we will be dead."
Gan Hu pointed his gun at them and said proudly: "It's okay, I've already come out."
He seemed to see that the two of them were a little nervous, so he said: "Don't worry, I will tell my eldest brother when the time comes. I will just say that I am forcing you with a gun and it has nothing to do with you. That's okay."
The two people who were pointed at by his gun looked at each other with wry smiles on their faces.
I couldn't stop complaining in my heart, it was all a family matter, they were caught in the middle and couldn't be their own people.
When Brother Long finds out, he will definitely catch them and scold them.
They relied on the second young master Gan Hu to speak to them. Haha, he thought too much.
This Ganhu was moody, impulsive and irritable. Whatever he did, they would be the ones to take the blame in the end.
They also thought about reporting it to Qian Long or Gan Xiong, but Gan Hu pointed a gun at their head and had to obey.
Three hundred people, two hundred guns, they are the two people without guns among the hundred people.
There were so many people that Gan Long didn't pay attention. Gan Hu got into the car and even pointed a gun at the members of the base.
Only Gan Hu could do such a thing.
After Qianlong and the others left the Western Alliance, they headed directly towards Gan City.
The road surface is not easy to walk on. The roads in the apocalypse have not been maintained for so long and are bumpy and bumpy.
Due to the large number of them and the long distance, and to save fuel, they did not drive out too many cars, only forty cars.
More than a thousand kilometers, and due to the bumpy road, they could not travel too fast and could only travel at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
At this speed, it would take at least four or five days for them to reach Gan City.
After Uncle San and others left, the construction process of the Da Zhangshu Base resumed.
Now looking at the progress of the project every day, Li Yu feels happy. This feeling that the base is constantly becoming stronger makes him very satisfied.
It's just that sometimes I feel a little anxious.
Perhaps whether it was his previous life or this life, he was somewhat accustomed to rushing to the front and killing enemies and zombies.
Suddenly he was in a safe base, and most of the things were done by others. This feeling of relaxation made him a little unaccustomed to it.
It was so comfortable that it made him feel wary.
He was already used to the feeling of fighting and blood boiling in dangerous situations.
So, after handling some of the daily affairs in the base.
He came to the inner city, and in the training ground in the basement of the villa, he kept attacking the sandbags, as if he could relieve the unaccustomed feelings in his heart by constantly hitting the sandbags.
As for fighting Cannon Yang Tianlong and the others, forget it.
His muscle reflexes make it easy for him to accidentally kill someone during training and inadvertently injure others.
After Uncle San and the others left the Da Zhangshu base, they had been there once before, so this time they were able to drive easily and follow the same path they took last time.
The obstacles on the road since last time have been cleared.
Therefore, although there are more cars this time, the driving speed is faster.
Dongfeng and the others walked all the way south, walking for more than 20 kilometers at a walking speed of 6 kilometers an hour. At noon, they had arrived at the junction of Xincheng and Xingxian.
Dongfeng and the others stopped and looked at the blue guide signs, feeling extremely happy in their hearts.
"This is Xin City." Wan Bo looked at the blue sign and said to everyone.
They walked for several hours. In order to arrive earlier, they did not rest on the road. At this time, they arrived at the edge of Xincheng County, so they sat on the ground to rest.
At this time, several pickup trucks suddenly drove over from the front.
After seeing these pickup trucks, Dongfeng immediately stood up with a vigilant face and held the long knife in his hand tightly.
It is not a good thing to meet strangers in the end of the world.
Most of the people you meet are those who want to take supplies from you.
Only very few can meet good people.
Seeing Dongfeng stand up, everyone also stood up and looked at the pickup trucks.
On the pickup truck.
Yu Ming looked at the people in front and said to the short Xiao Meng: "General Manager Li asked us to be alert to the appearance of strangers before. Once we find any strangers, we must report it. You report it quickly. Tell them about the strangers here."
Yu Ming and his group used to be cooperative personnel. They have cooperated with the big camphor tree base for a long time and have accumulated a lot of points.
But during the last natural disaster, another cooperative team made trouble, but Yu Ming abided by the rules of the Dazhangshu base and did not fight back when he was beaten.
Li Yu asked his team to join the non-staff personnel of the Dazhangshu base.
Now, they are also staff members.
After hearing what the team leader Yu Ming said, Xiao Meng immediately took out the walkie-talkie and contacted the foreign personnel stationed in the north of the Dazhangshu base.
In fact, the foreign personnel stationed in the north of Dazhangshu are less than eight kilometers away from them. After the signal of the repeater is strengthened, they notify here, and the personnel stationed at the temporary point in the north of the Dazhangshu base can fully receive it.
"Station No. 5, Station No. 5, I am the 11th group of non-staff personnel Yu Ming group. Now on National Highway 319, eight kilometers away from you, more than 20 strangers have been found. No hot weapons are carried. Please reply if you receive it, over."
Xiao Meng said it three times in a row while holding the walkie-talkie.
Soon.
Zhuzi, a foreign station personnel in the north of the Dazhangshu base, received this news.
He was the one who followed He Chao before. He and A Guang and Deng Ben often stationed outside.
Originally, he was just a little Luo Luo who followed He Chao, but now he has become the core liaison of a station, and there are two other non-staff members following him.
After hearing the news, Zhuzi's face changed slightly, and he immediately took the walkie-talkie and said: "Station No. 5 received it, Station No. 5 received it, I will immediately notify Ju Tianrui who is patrolling today. According to the notice issued by the base a few days ago, you can keep them stable, follow them, and keep in touch at any time."
Then, he took out the walkie-talkie to contact Ju Tianrui who was on duty today and patrolled at five stations.
"Captain Ju, we found more than 20 strangers at the intersection of Xincheng and Xingxian on National Highway 319. They did not carry hot weapons. Please come and check now."
At this time, Ju Tianrui happened to be patrolling around the Dazhangshu base, only a dozen kilometers away from there.
So after receiving the message, Ju Tianrui immediately replied: "Okay, I have received it and will come right away."
At the same time, the Dazhangshu base also received the message.
In an instant, Li Yu, who was playing sandbags in the inner city villa, also heard the news from the intercom.
After hearing that Ju Tianrui was going over, Li Yu wiped the sweat off his face and asked: "Ju Tianrui, after you go over, first ask them clearly about their purpose of coming here. If they are just passing by, let them go. If you find anything unusual, escort them back."
After receiving Li Yu's message, Ju Tianrui replied immediately.
Then he took his teammates who were patrolling together and drove to the intersection of Xincheng and Xingxian.
Since the implementation of five stationed points and the distribution of intercoms to many cooperative personnel, this is the first time to meet a stranger.
After all, it has only been a week since the implementation of this plan.
In the end times, it is not easy for humans to meet each other.
In Xincheng, most of the survivors have reached a cooperative relationship with the Dazhangshu base.
These cooperative personnel are like a big network, scattered in various places in Xincheng. They keep going out to collect building materials and transport them back to the Dazhangshu base to build the third outer city.
And most of them know each other.
Once a stranger appears, it will be discovered quickly.
Moreover, on the core trunk road of the road, there are outposts in the north, south, Xincheng, and even Gan City of the Dazhangshu Base.
This allows the Dazhangshu Base to have a strong control over Xincheng and even Gan City.
Once a stranger appears, they will be able to receive news of any disturbance.
After receiving the news, Li Yu sat on the stool for a while, then stood up and wiped the sweat, stopped playing sandbags, and stood up and walked towards the wall.
When the second uncle saw Li Yu coming, he nodded as a greeting.
"Who do you think they might be? Could they be from the Western Alliance?" The second uncle asked.
Li Yu thought for a while and said, "I don't know, but judging from the current news, it is unlikely. However, it is not clear now, so wait for the news from Ju Tianrui and others."
At the same time, some of the cooperative personnel in the entire Xincheng were carrying construction materials, and some were just driving on the road. No matter what they were doing, they all received such a notice: Strangers were found in the north of the Dazhangshu Base, asking them to pay attention at any time to see if there are other strangers around.
The appearance of Dongfeng and his team was like a drop of water that fell into the originally calm lake, splashing circles of ripples.
At this time, only five minutes had passed since Yu Ming met Dongfeng and his team.
After knowing that Captain Ju Tianrui and his team were on their way, he calculated the time and found that it would only take about 20 minutes to drive here.
So Yu Ming asked the driver to park the car in front of those people.
Yu Ming got out of the car, looked at those people, and was the first to speak: "Where are you going?"
Dongfeng saw the people in the car and did not get out to shout at them.
His eyes were full of vigilance. Now he didn't know whether the people on the opposite side were enemies or friends, or whether they were good or evil.
He turned his head and looked at Lao Dong and Wan Bo, and both nodded at him.
So Dongfeng said: "We want to go to the big camphor tree base. Excuse me, go ahead, is it the big camphor tree base? Are you from the big camphor tree base?"
There is no point in saying anything else.
Besides, they wanted to join the legendary camphor tree base, and now they were almost there, so the people in front of them were most likely from the camphor tree base.
Yu Ming was a little surprised when he heard this. He didn't expect these people to know the camphor tree base.
He didn't directly answer him whether he was from the camphor tree base, but asked: "How did you know the camphor tree base? And what are you going to do at the camphor tree base?"
Dongfeng was silent for a while after hearing his words.
Wan Bo behind him said calmly: "We heard from a team before. The team member seemed to be called Sha Wenji. He heard him say that the camphor tree base is very good. We came from Chang City and now want to go to the camphor tree base."
"Oh, really?" Yu Ming didn't comment, and looked at them closely.
He couldn't judge whether the people in front of him were true or false.
But he did know a person like Sha Wenji.
He was the leader of a veteran team of cooperative personnel.
These two days, Zhang San, a subordinate of Sha Wenji, has been in the limelight.
The elevator made a few days ago provided great convenience for the construction of the third outer city. Recently, it seems that they are working on the electric truck again, which seems interesting.
After hearing these people say the name of Sha Wenji, he hesitated for a moment and felt that no matter who these people are, the most important thing is not to let them run away.
If it doesn't work, take them back to the big camphor tree base.
At least if they are taken back, these people can't run away.
Finally, with a friendly smile on his face.
He said to them: "Yes, we are from the big camphor tree base? It happens that I am going back to the big camphor tree base, or you can come with us."
Xiao Meng next to him curled his lips. Their pickup truck was still empty. They were obviously out to transport sand and gravel, and they haven't started transporting yet.
After this, Wan Bo didn't speak. The decision was in Dongfeng's hands, and he couldn't speak easily.
In fact, he had said enough.
Dongfeng looked at Uncle Wan, and then whispered to Lao Dong behind him: "Are you sure that when you were by the river in Changshi, the people from the Dazhangshu base asked you for directions and gave you a bag of fried rice?"
Lao Dong looked a little hesitant, and said uncertainly: "I'm not sure if they are from the Dazhangshu base, but some of the situations are very similar to what Uncle Wan said."
Dongfeng took two deep breaths and walked here.
Originally, they were looking for the Dazhangshu base, and it was impossible for them to change their minds temporarily.
But he was a little unsure whether these people in front of him were from the Dazhangshu base.
Unable to verify, unable to determine.
This is like a gamble, a gamble.
They still know too little about the Dazhangshu base, otherwise they can judge through some things, or even guess from the other party's mouth whether they are from the Dazhangshu by asking.
Knowing too little information is also the reason why Dongfeng was not willing to run so far.
However, they have reached the point of being at the end of their rope.
Facing a place that is said to be beautiful, in such a difficult time, hope is needed.
You need to go on and find hope, otherwise the people in the team will find it difficult to hold on without spiritual support.
Let's take a gamble.
So he finally said: "Can you introduce some big camphor tree bases?"
A counterattack.
Yu Ming didn't know whether the people in front of him really knew Sha Wenji.
He didn't dare to reveal too much about the big camphor tree base, so he smiled and said: "Aren't you going to go to the big camphor tree base? You will know when you go there with your own eyes."
The two gangs went back and forth, playing tricks.
Yu Ming wanted to stabilize the people in front of him, while Dongfeng wanted to learn about their situation through the mouth of the person in front of him.
Ten minutes later.
Four electric cars drove over, it was Ju Tianrui and his group.
Ju Tianrui, Dongtai and more than a dozen people, fully armed, wearing explosion-proof special combat uniforms distributed in the base, holding automatic rifles in their hands, got off the car.
Imposing and majestic.
With a strong sense of oppression, they walked over step by step.
Dongfeng felt very familiar with the clothes they were wearing.
He had worn this set of clothes when he was in the army.
A warm and familiar feeling.
He felt an inexplicable urge to cry.
He was also in the army.
From the walking pace, eyes, momentum, and demeanor of the group of people in front of me, it can be seen at a glance that they are all former soldiers like myself.
Definitely not the kind of person who wears a piece of clothing but is not actually in the procession.
Ju Tianrui himself has led many soldiers, and his aura is even more extraordinary.
"Yu Ming, is it them?" Ju Tianrui looked directly at Dongfeng, but asked the non-staff member Yu Ming next to him.
"Captain Ju, it's them. They said they heard Sha Wenji say that Da Zhangshu Base is good, so they wanted to join us, and then they came from Chang City." Yu Ming said in one breath.
"Yeah." Ju Tianrui nodded slightly.
He looked at Dongfeng with scrutiny and asked, "What do you call it?"
In fact, when he first came over, he noticed that there were young men, women, and even an old man with gray hair in the team. He made some guesses, but he did not dare to let down his guard.
"Dongfeng, former Jiangnan, Second Artillery Brigade, Platoon Commander Dongfeng." Dongfeng looked at the person in front of him with excitement on his face.
Ju Tianrui heard this with surprise on his face. He looked at the man in front of him. He had a well-coordinated body and broad upper body shoulders. He looked like a good gunner at first glance.
So he nodded and took a look at their package.
Then he said to him: "Hello. Let's do this. Since you want to join the Da Zhangshu Base, come with us and we will take you all the way. Yu Ming, let them get on the back of your pickup truck."
Yu Ming nodded. With Ju Tianrui talking, he, as a non-staff member, naturally didn't have to worry about it.
After hearing this, Dongfeng finally made the decision to follow, so he nodded and said, "Okay."
He believed that it was because of the clothes and guns Ju Tianrui and the others were wearing. More importantly, he knew that these people were members of the army.
With such powerful firepower and strength, there is no need to deal with the twenty or so of their own desolate troops.
They got into Yu Ming's pickup truck. Yu Ming took the lead and Ju Tianrui and others followed behind in their vehicles.
After a long time, hundreds of meters away.
In the jungle, Xu Chengcai saw this scene with a telescope.
There was some emotion in my heart, as if they were almost reaching their destination.
However, he has not yet figured out whether the place where the people in front are going is a suitable place for their father and son to stay.
Although he also saw Ju Tianrui and others wearing explosion-proof suits, he still didn't let his guard down.
In today's apocalypse, it's better to be careful.
What's more, he is still a top special soldier. He will not be exposed rashly before he understands everything. This is the experience of many years of fighting in the army.
So, he took Xiaoyong with him, and instead of taking the national highway, he followed the traces in the forest path beside the national highway and continued southward.
