Chapter 811 Returning to the Big Camphor Tree, Someone Comes over the Wall at Night

In the past few days, when Li Yu used the military radio to contact the Da Zhangshu Base every day, he would intentionally or unintentionally ask about the reinforcement of the Da Zhangshu Base.

To the east of Gan Province is Fujian Province, and to the south is Guangdong Province. These two provinces are close to the sea and are places where typhoons often make landfall.

However, Gan Province is surrounded by mountains, with Nanling to the south and Wuyi Mountains to the east. With the mountains blocking the way, the power of the typhoon should be much smaller.

But Li Yu was still a little uneasy and was quite concerned about this matter.

The Oil City Walled City is located in the Central Plains, far away from the sea. When the typhoon arrives here, the water vapor should also be weakened a lot.

Li Tie and the others are also making preparations, counting the vehicles and preparing the large forces to return to the Da Zhangshu base.

On this trip, they cleared the motorcycle gang's lair and seized their food and ammunition. Later, they found a lot of guns and vehicles in the Zheng City Military Region, plus the oil produced in the Oil City Walled City these days. , these things must be brought back to Da Zhangshu Base.

If we rely solely on helicopter transportation, there will be two trips a day, and it is estimated that the shipment will not be completed in one or two months.

So they had to be transported back in vehicles.

So many cars, large and small, totaling more than a hundred cars.

These include military trucks, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored transport vehicles

There are also more trucks looted from the biker gang's lair, and they are all filled with various supplies at this time.

Originally, Li Yu thought of transporting oil directly by helicopter, but found that the oil was too heavy and the helicopter's load capacity was too small, only a dozen tons. Moreover, it was also a big oil consumer. If it weren't for the continuous output of oil in the Oil City, I guess they can't afford a helicopter.

On average, one round trip, after deducting the fuel consumption on the way, is six to seven tons. They can only bring back a few tons at a time.

The efficiency is too low.

Helicopters are convenient for carrying people, but using them specifically for transportation is a bit wasteful.

So the best way is through land transportation.

Time passes slowly like running water.

Four days later.

The trenches outside the oil city wall have also been completed.

The trench was more complicated than they expected because the terrain height difference had to be taken into account to ensure that the closer to the Oil City, the higher the height.

Only in this way can the gap be used to allow the oil to flow out.

In addition, the depth of the trench was more than ten centimeters higher than they originally expected, reaching 30 centimeters at the deepest point and 15 centimeters at the closest side to the Oil City Walled City.

And the trenches are covered with a thin layer of cement to isolate them from the soil on the ground to prevent oil from penetrating into the soil and being wasted.

evening.

After distributing the food to those collaborators on this day, Lao Bi and others announced to them that there were no engineering tasks for them to do for the time being, and their cooperation with Oil City came to an end.

These people had actually expected it. After all, there were so many of them and they consumed a large amount of food every day.

But when that day came, they still felt a little disappointed, and then confused, not knowing what to do next.

What's more important is that they don't know where to go to find food after receiving today's food.

Seeing the disappointed expressions on their faces, Lao Bi raised his voice and said:

“Although the project here has come to an end, there may be some projects in the future, and I will contact you when the time comes.

In addition, I also have a list of grain exchanges here. You can exchange them based on the items above. For example, one pound of gold can be exchanged for two pounds of grain."

Gold Whether before or after the apocalypse, gold is considered a hard currency.

Because gold has unique and perfect properties, it has extremely high corrosion resistance and stability; good electrical and thermal conductivity.

Not to mention anything else, just covering a cold weapon with a layer of gold will give it strong corrosion resistance.

They sometimes use cold weapons to kill zombies. The liquid in zombies is actually corrosive. They have inserted cold weapons into the heads of zombies many times. Of course, they are not afraid of some high-quality alloy spears, but most other cold weapons Weapons corrode easily if used too much.

Many collaborators couldn't help but get excited when they heard Lao Bi say that they could exchange other things for food.

Although food can no longer be found outside, other things should still be found.

However, when they heard that one pound of gold can be exchanged for two pounds of grain, they realized that it was not easy to exchange it for other things.

Before the end of the world, there were only tens of thousands of tons of gold in the world, and the national reserves were only one or two thousand tons, still scattered in various places.

In a large gold and silver jewelry store, thirty kilograms of gold is considered a lot.

Gold is generally calculated in grams. One pound is equal to 500 grams. Who the hell calculates it in pounds?

If calculated based on the price of gold before the end of the world, one gram of gold is about 500 yuan, one pound is about 250,000 yuan, and the price of food before the end of the world is 6 yuan per pound.

If we compare gold and grain before the end of the world, one pound of gold can buy 20 tons of grain, but now it can only be exchanged for two pounds of grain? ? !

In addition to gold, there are also some things on the list that they are not familiar with, many of which are requested from Lao Dong, Kong Shuang, Bai Jie, Zhou Weiguo, Anya, Meng Yu and others from the Da Zhangshu Base.

Some of them are things that ordinary people rarely know about. These things involve some trace elements needed in chemistry, some materials needed in medicine, and even some precious seeds in agriculture.

Although Li Yu bought seed bags that can be saved before the end of the world, it cost him a lot of money.

But there are still some seeds that cannot be bought on the market.

After the outbreak of the end of the world, he also brought back some seeds from the Agricultural Science Academy in the city center, but when he saw this terrible natural disaster, he still felt that he must try his best to collect all the seeds that can be collected, in case they become extinct later.

Apart from other things, just last year's extreme high temperature and extreme cold killed a large number of plants. Although there is green everywhere now, no one knows which plants have disappeared long ago.

The words on these lists in Lao Bi's hand are very small, not very good-looking, but the words written on them can be clearly seen.

Then he distributed a thick stack of lists in his hand. These were all printed by Li Yu when he returned to the camphor tree base last time.

These cooperative personnel reached out to grab them. Under the order, each person was only allowed to take one, but there were too many people.

So each small group was asked to take only one.

After distributing these lists, these people took the food they had just distributed and left slowly with an inexplicable look.

Although there was no project to do tomorrow, at least there was hope, hoping that there would be new engineering tasks later, and hoping to find the things on the list in hand.

With this, the wall repair that took more than a week, plus the task of digging trenches, most of them did not eat up the food they were given every day, and most of them saved it for emergency.

Unexpectedly, the emergency food was used so quickly.

After leaving the oil city, many people did not go to the small village two or three kilometers away as before, but dispersed like fairies scattering flowers.

Some people planned to try their luck elsewhere, some people might just see some things on the list and know where they are, so they started searching, and some people returned to the small village not far away, waiting for the next engineering task of the oil city.

Li Yu looked at their backs as they left and sighed.

He turned his head and said to Li Tie, Ju Tianrui and others: "We are about to leave for the Dazhangshu base. You can check it again tonight and go back to the Dazhangshu base tomorrow."

Lao Luo stretched, hammered his shoulders and said: "Finally, I am going back. I miss the bed in our base. When I go back, I will ask Mr. Hua to do a cupping."

His words expressed the thoughts of many people.

Last time, the helicopter was loaded with guns and ammunition, and only a few people took it back. Only Li Yu and a few others stayed in the oil fortress. It has been nearly a month.

In their hearts, unconsciously, they have already had an inexplicable sense of belonging to the Dazhangshu base, and they will miss it if they leave for a long time.

Maybe it's because the high walls there give them a sense of security, maybe it's because the infrastructure there is well done, there is water and sufficient electricity, or it may be because of the people there

But no matter what, they are going back soon.

When Ju Tianrui heard Li Yu say that he would return to the Dazhangshu base tomorrow, he was slightly happy. Too many things had happened during this period, and he was a little tired. Seeing Lao Bi standing in the distance, Lao Bi was still happy because he had just completed the repair work of the trench and the wall. He could finally breathe a sigh of relief and smile.

Ju Tianrui saw his smile and felt a little distressed.

He still has to stay here for a month.

After all, the shift system starts from the return of the main force to the Dazhangshu base.

After Li Yu issued the order to return tomorrow, Ju Tianrui and others left to check and prepare.

When Lao Bi, who was late to realize, learned that they were leaving tomorrow, he was as sad as he was happy just now.

Lao Luo left, Lao Yi left, Ju Tianrui and Xiao Jun also left, and the big cannon who often came to play cards with him also left.

However, it is impossible to leave only Lao Bi, there are still 40 people left here.

There are also Zuo Ruxue and others who Li Yu brought out from the Dazhangshu base last time. Lao Bi and Zuo Ruxue also know each other, so he is at least a familiar person.

Lao Bi's group consisted of 40 people, Zuo Ruxue had 27 people, and together they numbered more than 60 people.

Together with the 60 or 70 people left in the original oil city, there were nearly 140 people in total.

With the heavy weapons and guns that Li Yu left for Lao Bi, it should not be a big problem to defend the oil city.

It was getting darker.

The sun was setting in the west.

The small village not far from the oil city.

Dozens of collaborators closed the door tightly and hid in a slightly better house.

About half an hour later.

Night had arrived.

Zombies appeared one after another, coming out of the wilderness and the river, wandering everywhere.

A Taoist priest with ragged clothes and a dusty face broke into the small village.

He looked at the oil city not far away and hesitated.

In the past few days, he had been sleeping in the open air and kept walking, following the direction of the helicopter flight that day.

Since the helicopter traveled in a straight line, the compass he brought was also very accurate. He walked in this direction and luckily found this place.

Looking at the lights of the oil city two or three kilometers away, he murmured, "I wonder if that place is the one that saved me that day."

There are several reasons why he followed.

One is to find his senior brothers. He can ask them in crowded places and ask them if they have seen his senior brothers and others.

The second reason is that he is a little curious. The helicopter he saw that day made him suspect that it was from the military. He has never seen a regular government department since the outbreak of the apocalypse.

The third reason is that he was saved by the helicopter man in danger that day. If it weren't for the two shells from that man, he would probably have died in the zombie tide. It is reasonable to find him and thank him.

Roar!

Suddenly, a roar of zombies came from behind him.

"There are zombies! It seems that we can't go to that small town now. It will be troublesome if there are zombies surrounding us in the wilderness. The first thing to do is to find a hiding place first." After hearing the roar of the zombies, the Taoist priest was startled and said secretly.

Walking on the dirt road in the village, fortunately there was some moonlight, and he could barely see the road clearly.

Looking around, he saw a farmyard with a good wall about ten meters ahead.

So he rushed over.

Tap, tap, tap~

He kicked his feet and stepped on the dirt road, then pulled his hands on the wall, and then exerted his strength to climb over the wall, which was about two meters high.

He leaned to the inside, put his hands down, and stepped into the wall one after another.

"Hmm?" The Taoist rubbed his hands and felt that his hands were still a little wet. It felt like

"Who?" A low exclamation came from the house in front.

Then, six or seven people came out from inside. These people held wooden spikes, sticks, and spears in their hands and looked at him vigilantly.

Because it was dark, and the Taoist was standing under the wall, the moonlight was blocked by the wall, so they couldn't see the Taoist's appearance clearly.

The Taoist was in tatters, and in the dark they thought it was a zombie that broke in.

"Feng Kite, did you open the door? How did the zombies break in? It's your fault. You have to deal with this zombie." A hoarse but very attractive female voice sounded.

"No, my door is closed. You see, all doors are closed now," said a man with a young voice.

"Ahem."

The Taoist priest looked at the wall behind him, walked out of the darkness, coughed twice, and then said, "Well, don't be impulsive. I am a human. There are zombies outside. I thought there was no one here, so I came in to hide."

As soon as the voice fell, a zombie roar came from outside, and it seemed to be getting closer and closer to them.

The next second, the female voice sounded again, looking at the Taoist priest in the moonlight, and hesitated for two seconds.

Decisively said: "The zombies are coming, hurry back to the house. This wall was only repaired today, and it is not dry yet. I don't know if it can stop the zombies. Let's go!"

After that, she called the people next to her to go back to the house.

The Taoist priest scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He was not sure whether the person said to go back to the house included him.

But when he heard the movement of the zombies outside getting closer and closer to them, he still followed.

The leading woman, holding something similar to a mace in her hand, was about to close the door. Seeing the Taoist priest coming over, she hesitated.

Afraid that if she didn't let him in, the Taoist priest would feel resentful after closing the door and attract the zombies in.

So she opened the half-closed door. When the Taoist priest saw her opening the door, he smiled and said, "Thank you, you are a good person."

The woman was stunned when she heard this. Through the moonlight, she didn't know if she was dazzled. The Taoist priest's eyes seemed to be shining when he said this.

The clear eyes were like clear water. There was no hatred or resentment. Very clean eyes.

"The eyes are beautiful." The woman looked at the clear eyes and said secretly in her heart.
