Chapter 924: The Greed of Mankind, the Discovery of the Imperial Concubine

Surrounded by mountains, the winding road passes through dense forests.

From Kun City to the Dazhangshu Base, it passes through hilly areas, and there are many tunnels and caves.

September 6th.

Clear.

The sky is full of rosy clouds, and you can tell that the weather is good today.

Li Yu and others drove the vehicle, leading the convoy of several kilometers, slowly heading towards the Dazhangshu Base.

The convoy was huge and the battle was not small. Wherever it went, the birds and beasts on both sides of the road were startled and fled.

The helicopters in the sky flew slowly, and there was always a helicopter patrolling a few kilometers or even tens of kilometers ahead of the convoy to ensure that there would be no ambush or advance knowledge of the situation.

From the Dazhangshu Base to Kun City, the distance is more than a thousand kilometers.

Due to the large number of vehicles, in order to ensure that the back can keep up, the driving speed is only 40 yards per hour. At this speed, it will take at least three days for them to reach the Dazhangshu Base.

Boom boom boom——

The convoy drove into a tunnel.

The zombies in this tunnel have been solved by Ju Tianrui and others who are the pioneer convoy.

Ju Tianrui led two infantry fighting vehicles and an armored transport vehicle in the front, specifically clearing the trouble for the convoy behind.

That's why they can guarantee a speed of 40 miles per hour, otherwise they would stop and go and waste more time.

In the tunnel.

Li Yu sat in the armored RV, looking at the tunnel wall illuminated by the headlights outside the window.

The originally gray cement wall was stained with some blood.

Further up, there was a huge ventilation pipe in the tunnel.

Even with the illumination of the headlights, because there was no light in the tunnel, you could only see the road ahead, and you couldn't see the surrounding situation too clearly.

The tunnel had been cleared by Ju Tianrui and his team, so you could only see some zombie corpses.

The vehicles rolled over the zombie corpses, making a series of clattering sounds.

Under the rolling of hundreds of vehicles, the zombie corpses had already been crushed into a meat pie.

Swish!

Suddenly, the eyes lit up.

Li Yu and his team had already driven out of the tunnel.

Just after walking out of the tunnel, Li Yu saw the bamboo sea all over the mountains.

When I went to Kun City, my mood was completely different from when I returned with a lot of supplies.

This trip was very rewarding. I didn't look at many of the supplies in the car carefully. I just took a rough look when I loaded them into the car.

There were so many supplies that they filled hundreds of cars. It took a lot of time to go back and sort them out.

Under such circumstances, Li Yu was in a good mood.

Although the Oil City sent a message yesterday about the cooperation request from Southern Paradise, he didn't worry too much about it at the time.

According to his memory of his previous life, the helmsman of Southern Paradise, Tiger Lord, had some bottom line. It was normal for him to come here to seek cooperation now.

The bamboo sea swayed in the wind.

The bamboo leaves, blown by the wind, were like waves in the lake.

The bamboo leaves were flying.

The rustling sound made people feel relaxed and comfortable after hearing it.

It was noon soon.

The helicopter driven by Uncle San and his team also needed to be refueled.

On the helicopter.

Uncle San saw a relatively flat area in front, and the mountains and forests were hundreds of miles away.

The view was good.

So he took out the walkie-talkie to contact Li Yu.

"Xiao Yu, there is a suitable place to rest five kilometers ahead. You can stop there when the time comes. It's just right for us to refuel the helicopter."

After hearing what Uncle San said, Li Yu said, "Okay, let's stop later."

The convoy drove to the national highway in the middle of the open space.

The national highway was full of weeds on both sides. From the ridges, it can be vaguely seen that there should be farmland on both sides of the national highway.

Three years after the end of the world, the farmland had long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

Li Yu got off the armored RV without any ripples in his heart. He had been sitting in the car for a long time and his butt was sore. He still had to sit for at least two days.

After getting off the car, he saw the convoy behind him that could not be seen at the end.

The people in the car got off to relieve themselves and solve personal problems.

In order to save time, the convoy did not stop. Once a car in the middle stopped, the vehicles behind would also stop.

So many people in it had been holding back for a long time, and finally released it at this time.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of urine.

After Uncle San and his men landed the helicopter, they refueled the helicopter.

Half an hour later, they set off again.

The long dragon-like convoy not only frightened the passing birds and beasts, but also frightened some survivors from the road and quickly hid in the mountains and forests, wondering where the convoy came from and where it was going.

However, even if Li Yu found them, he would not pay attention to them after seeing that there was no threat, and drove straight to the direction of the big camphor tree base.

Xincheng.

The fifth satellite city.

The concubine was used to getting up early, and she got up early in the morning to pack up the things she was going to carry today.

She, Lao Huang, and Xiao Ye, three people, relied on the discovery of a large number of brass wires that time to obtain a lot of points and food.

But they did not use up all the points. These points can be matched with corresponding food. Although the points are still there after the exchange, the food will not be given to you.

Some cooperative teams occasionally found things that were urgently needed in the tasks issued by the big camphor tree base, and they could exchange hundreds of kilograms of food at once.

But in the apocalypse, carrying so much food is very dangerous.

Although they are all within the sphere of influence of the Da Zhangshu Base, no one will come to rob them, but in the middle of the night, there is a risk of someone stealing.

Moreover, they often have to go out to perform tasks, and it is very unsafe to carry hundreds of kilograms of food at all times.

All in all, the first team proposed to temporarily store the redeemable grain at the Da Zhangshu Base and come back to retrieve it when needed later.

After all, it is very safe for them to be placed in the Da Zhangshu base.

Of course, it is safest to keep things like food in your own hands, but for some people, holding too much food is also dangerous.

After cooperating with Dazhangshu Base for so long, these people have a relatively high degree of recognition and trust in Dazhangshu Base. In addition, there was the first person to do this, and a small number of people continued to do so.

Most of the people currently doing this are non-staff personnel, as well as elderly people who have cooperated with Da Zhangshu Base for a long time.

For the Da Zhangshu Base, there is no need to take out so much food at once, why not put the food on their side?

Therefore, under the needs of the two, such an option of storing food was opened.

Similar to a pre-apocalyptic bank.

After all, in this end of the world, the most common thing with the most purchasing power is food.

After the imperial concubine and Old Huangtou got a lot of brass wires that time, their points went up.

Each of the three of them has more than a hundred kilograms of grain.

This is a huge sum of money.

Enough to feed them for a whole year!

In the Dazhangshu base, except for the people in the inner and outer cities, no one can eat three meals a day and be full at every meal.

This is too luxurious for them.

After experiencing the pain of hunger, you will be like a hamster, constantly thinking of ways to reserve food for the future in case of emergency needs.

They no longer want to live a life where they are so hungry that they feel dizzy and their eyes turn green.

The imperial concubine was in a good mood.

Her sudden wealth a few days ago gave her the confidence to continue living.

Although we are in the fifth satellite city farthest from the Da Zhangshu Base and are not as safe as those around the base, the competition here is not as intense as there, and it is easier to earn points.

The sun hasn't come out yet.

The sky was blue-grey and misty.

It was just after five o'clock.

Squeak——

The imperial concubine opened the door and planned to get some water from the well outside to wash her face.

In the center of the fifth satellite city, there are three buildings and two rows of prefabricated houses made of iron sheets.

The imperial concubine walked out of the wooden house and looked up to see the personnel on duty guarding the gate.

I felt a little sense of security in my heart.

Pass through the board house and walk to the end of the tin board house.

We were about to reach the well.

Suddenly, she heard voices coming from the wooden house at the end.

?

The imperial concubine was a little confused, slowed down her pace, and listened.

"I think we should not get involved in this matter. It is a serious matter. The strength of the Da Zhangshu Base has also been seen. We finally joined the fifth satellite city and joined their protests. If it causes the Da Zhangshu Guo The captain’s dissatisfaction even led to the Da Zhangshu Base taking action, but we had no power to resist.”

A thick man's voice said in a very iron tone:

"Hey, why can't I explain it to you? According to internal rumors, the main force of Da Zhangshu Base is no longer in Xincheng. What are you afraid of? Qiu Yuanze and the others are right. There are so many people coming from the southwest now, as long as we work together , protesting together, it’s impossible to kill so many of us.”

Another young man replied:

"Lao He, I don't care what you think, anyway, I don't want to go through this muddy water. You can escape all the way and find such a good place, why are you not satisfied? Do you have to make trouble? This is not the case."

He didn't say it out loud, but the older man understood what he meant.

"Think about it again. If we can succeed, everyone's salary will be improved by then. Why do we need to do so many tasks in exchange for such a small amount of food.

This is not a gift, this is not a cooperative transaction, this is the exploitation of our labor.

This Da Zhangshu base is also a human spirit. We are asked to take risks to find supplies. They stay in the tall walls by themselves, which is really irritating. "

The young man frowned, as if he was unhappy with what the old He in front of him said.

So he said:

"You don't have to say anymore. If this is the reason why you came to me so early in the morning, I can give you an accurate answer.

I won't join. "

The older Lao He said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, Xiao Ou, you just have to keep this secret for me and don't let it leak out, otherwise it won't be good for you."

There was a hint of threat in his words.

"I know. You should leave quickly. It will be dawn soon. It will be troublesome if others find out."

"Okay, Xiao Ou, if you figure it out, you can tell me at any time. To tell you the truth, there are many people who are willing to participate in this protest!"

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

The imperial concubine who was eavesdropping outside the door felt nervous, and tiptoed towards the wooden house, then walked around in a circle and walked to the back of the wooden house.

Squeak——

She heard the sound of a door opening in front of the board house, followed by a burst of hurried footsteps, which were getting farther and farther away.

The imperial concubine quietly leaned out and took a look at the back figure that was going away.

He Zhi!

She knew this person. He ran here from the southwest a month ago.

He had completed several tasks, so he was able to stay in the satellite city.

This He Zhi was lucky. He entered the satellite city before Director Li issued a restriction order.

There was a robbery before, so since then, it was very difficult for the cooperating personnel who joined later to enter the satellite city.

And this He Zhi joined before that incident.

Unexpectedly, this He Zhi actually planned to make trouble?

No, to be precise, the Qiu Yuanze just mentioned was the one who led this matter, and who was this Qiu Yuanze?

Recently, there were a lot of people coming from the southwest, from a few people at the beginning, dozens of people, to hundreds of people pouring in a day later.

Now there should be more than 5,000 survivors here.

Most of the people stayed here, and a few left and continued to go east.

The influx of these people is not a good thing for the cooperative personnel who joined earlier, such as Guifei.

This means that there are more people competing with them.

Everyone can perform the tasks issued by the big camphor tree base, and there is only so much food available for exchange.

So in this case, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts and contradictions between the old and new cooperative personnel, but under the constraints of the big camphor tree base, no one dares to conflict openly.

In addition, the big camphor tree base actually has some preferential treatment for old cooperative personnel, just like the satellite city now is basically full of old cooperative personnel.

It is very difficult for those new cooperative personnel to stay here.

After all, the big camphor tree base is not a charity organization. If you don’t complete the task, you won’t be given any food.

They will give you food only after you complete the task.

Guifei looked normal, still went to the well to fetch water to wash her face, and even met a cooperative personnel she knew on the way back and said hello.

After returning to the lounge, she did not alarm Lao Huang and others, but slowly packed up the things she was going to go out today.

As time passed, Lao Huang and others also woke up.

Then they cooked something in their own iron pots as usual, and then left the satellite city.

Lao Huang, Xiao Ye, and Gui Fei formed a group.

After all, they all came from the motorcycle gang before, and after arriving at the camphor tree base, they also chose to come to the fifth satellite city together.

So they are familiar with each other.

Compared with other people, they trust each other more.

Especially after the experience of being robbed, the small group of three people has become more stable.

Gui Fei is good at archery, has decent skills, is soft on the outside and hard on the inside, and has a strong character.

Although Lao Huang is older, he is experienced and shrewd. He can always find some cost-effective tasks to perform and can always give the best solution in dangerous moments.

Xiao Ye is tall and thin, a stubborn boy, but he has a pure heart and no tricks. He works hard and is young, and is a good helper.

In the end times, character is more important than ability when looking for teammates.

Even if your teammates are strong, they may betray you directly and kill you in front of an opportunity to get rich.

Whether it was Lao Huang or Guifei, they were quite satisfied with each other. As they performed more missions together, their trust and affection deepened.

Coming out of the satellite city.

They drove a motorcycle with a wooden flatbed behind them.

Xiaoye drove, and Lao Huang and Guifei sat on the flatbed behind them.

It was like a turtle's speed.

Lao Huang looked around, and there was no one else.

He seemed to say to Guifei unintentionally: "Guifei, you seem to be worried."

Guifei looked at Lao Huang in surprise.

This Lao Huang is too smart.

I didn't intend to hide it, but it was not convenient to say these things in the satellite city just now. I planned to tell Lao Huang about this matter when I went out to perform the mission.

Lao Huang is a person who knows how to maximize benefits.

Although Guifei wanted to tell Guo Peng the first moment after hearing the news, she changed her mind.

She had no evidence! And she didn't even know who Qiu Yuanze was.

It might be better if she had more information.

An hour later.

They arrived outside a small town.

The imperial concubine pointed to the small road beside the road, and Xiao Ye was puzzled. Lao Huang asked him to drive in.

Entered a dense forest.

The imperial concubine looked at Lao Huang and Xiao Ye and said: "Some newcomers want to make trouble!"

Lao Huang's eyes condensed, and he got off the cart, his eyes were bright, and he said seriously: "What do you mean? Tell us the details."
