Chapter 963: Surprise! The Zombie Generator Has a Problem!
north.
A towering wall is like a giant dragon lying flat on the ground, and a wall also stands on a mountain range in the distance.
The broad and domineering door was tightly closed, and some barbs were placed outside to block the zombies. The barbs penetrated the zombies, and the zombies were unable to go any further and blocked the blocking piles.
On the tall wall, there was a sword-browed man wearing a bulletproof vest, holding a submachine gun in his hand, and asked calmly: "Have those people who just arrived been sent over?"
"Sent it over. I just heard that they came from the south. I don't know what the situation is like in the south."
"Yeah." The sword-browed man nodded and looked down at the zombies below.
The wall is extremely high, tens of meters high. If you accidentally fall from the top, you will definitely be killed by the fall, even if you won't be bitten to death by zombies.
Southern Paradise.
Next to the energy warehouse, in the power generation room, the generator is constantly working to provide power to the base.
Central building, third floor room.
Mr. Hu looked at the pouring rain outside, put his hands behind his back, and said to the people behind him: "Fortunately, you insisted on harvesting those rice grains. It's such a heavy wind and rain."
The madman poured himself a glass of wine, took a big sip, frowned and then relaxed.
He smashed it and said, "It's better than leaving nothing at all. Mr. Hu, didn't you ask me to drink with you? Why am I the only one drinking, and you should also take a few sips."
Mr. Hu turned around slowly, with an uncontrollable worry between his brows.
He walked to the table and said dullly: "There are still a few teams that haven't come back. It's raining so hard, I guess they won't be able to come back."
When the madman heard this, he also put down the wine glass in his hand.
He said with emotion: "Do your best and obey fate. I have finally understood the end of the world. If you can live for one day, live for one day. Life now is better than at the beginning."
Master Hu nodded, sighed and asked, "After harvesting, how long can the food last for the people in the base?"
"Three months at most," the madman said.
Hearing this, Mr. Tiger's brows became more worried.
He quickly said: "When can we plant again?"
"It's hard to say, it's difficult to grow in this weather, but we can try growing indoors," said the madman.
Master Hu thought for a moment and said, "Then let's try it."
The madman took another sip and said dullly: "It's not that simple. In such a dark sky, there is no way for crops to grow without light, unless there is a fill light."
Master Hu waved his hand and said: "It's okay. I just got some fuel a while ago, which can be used to generate electricity and lighting. It can last for a while. You can try it. Our food reserves are too small. If it rains this time, In two months, our food supply will not be able to sustain it at all.”
The madman put down the cup in his hand, pondered for a while and said: "It's okay, but the scale may not be large, and you have to give me a place."
"These are not problems. In addition..." Mr. Hu was silent for a few seconds and continued: "Starting from today, the food quota for everyone in the base will be reduced by half."
The madman asked in surprise: "If you reduce it by half all at once, it's not much to begin with, and no one has enough to eat. If you reduce it by half again, maybe everyone will have objections, right?"
Master Hu's face was as gloomy as water, and he said: "If you have any objections, let him come to me. How long do you want to eat? The most important thing is to survive now!"
"Reducing it by half means eating one meal a day, which will greatly affect everyone's combat effectiveness. Oh, this is the end of the world!" The madman said, and suddenly cursed at God.
Both fell silent.
They all know that repeated reductions in food rations will inevitably affect combat effectiveness. They have experienced how uncomfortable it is to be hungry for a long time.
However, the uncertainty of the apocalyptic disaster made them have no idea how long the heavy rain would last.
There was a heavy rain before, and they suffered a loss. Dozens of people later starved to death.
These people were starved to death.
Master Hu never wanted to see his men die of hunger.
I would rather eat less but still be able to live.
As long as you survive and the clouds clear and the moon shines, you will be able to overcome the difficulties sooner or later.
It's hard to pass the test, but if you can't pass it, you'll die.
This is the problem facing everyone in the last days.
A house near the central building.
Ma Yingxue held a can in her hand, thinking about how Xiao Jun secretly gave her the can when she left the oil city.
As she thought about it, Xiao Jun's appearance enlarged in her mind.
"Did he want to give it to me on his own, or was it the intention of Oil City?"
"He should have given it to me himself. Oil City shouldn't be so stingy when it comes to taking action."
"Why did he give it to me? He didn't say anything. What do you mean?"
Ma Yingxue held the canned pork in her hand blankly. This can of pork weighed one kilogram.
She buried her head under the pillow.
After a long time, she picked up the pillow, seemingly because of the lack of ventilation, and her face turned a little red.
"What on earth do you mean? Bastard!"
She was a little frustrated and picked up the dagger nailed to the table to open the can.
When the sharp edge of the dagger was about to touch the surface metal of the can, she stopped again.
Look at the ingredient list on the canned pork, as well as the weight.
Ding!
She stuck the dagger on the table again.
Rubbing the surface of the pig head can, the metal surface was almost patinated and shiny by her polishing.
"This should be very precious to him."
A one-pound military pork can has a shelf life of five years. The seal is so good that it can be eaten for more than ten years as long as it does not mold.
In this doomsday with food shortages, it is a luxury for everyone to be able to eat enough.
What's more, it is a can of pork!
It is no exaggeration to say that in a critical moment, this can of pork can keep her going for a week.
In their Southern Paradise, except for Tiger Lord, she has never seen anything like this in the hands of others.
"Although I don't know what you mean, but thank you"
Ma Yingxue murmured as she looked at the heavy rain outside.
Camphor Tree Base.
Li Yu returned to the inner city and changed out of his wet combat uniform.
His mother made him a cup of ginger tea to remove moisture.
After drinking a cup of hot ginger tea, Li Yu felt that his whole body was steaming.
I went upstairs, took a hot bath, and was about to have a good sleep.
But I heard my uncle's voice coming from the intercom on the table: "Xiao Yu, come here quickly, the zombie generator has a problem!"
Bang!
Li Yu jumped up from the bed!
The zombie generator has a problem!
This is terrible!
Most of the power supply in the base now comes from the zombie generator, and the base currently needs a huge amount of electricity.
So many greenhouses, underground planting bases, lighting, water heaters, mobile switches, and even some automated equipment all need electricity to drive.
The zombie generator has a problem, which is a devastating disaster.
Li Yu quickly picked up the intercom and asked: "What's going on? Is it serious?"
The uncle looked at the zombie generator that stopped working, and his expression was a little anxious: "All zombie generators have stopped working, there is no problem with the zombies, but those zombies are still walking, but the power generation indicator light below has not been on."
If the indicator light is not on, then there is no electricity.
Li Yu quickly put on his clothes and asked hurriedly, "Where are He Bing, Zhou Ran and the others? Have they gone?"
"I've already said that." Seeing He Bing coming to the door, the uncle said hurriedly, "Come and see."
"They've arrived."
"Yeah." Li Yu put on his clothes, took a gun and buckled it on his waist, and rushed out in the rain.
Li's mother watched him rush down, not knowing why.
"Raincoat, put on a raincoat, this child, why did he rush out again just after coming back, what happened?"
Li's mother was a little worried and felt uneasy.
Regardless of the fact that it was night, she went straight to the room, lifted the quilt, and woke up Li's father who was sleeping soundly.
"Don't sleep, Xiaoyu just came back and rushed out again, go and see what happened, I'm worried."
"Ah? Ah?" Li's father was half asleep and half awake.
Bang!
"Still sleeping!"
Bang bang bang!
"What are you doing? It's the middle of the night." Li's father complained.
"Are you awake?"
"Awake, what's the matter?" Father Li muttered.
"I said, go to the outer city to see Xiaoyu, I'm worried that something happened outside!"
"Ah? Okay, I'll go now."
After Father Li woke up, he quickly got up and put on his clothes.
Li Yu hurriedly arrived at the third outer city.
From a distance, he saw the lights in the largest building in the third outer city.
Tap tap tap---
Li Yu was soaked by the heavy rain, and the raindrops fell from his body to the ground.
"Xiaoyu."
"City Lord."
"City Lord."
"Brother"
On the first floor, Li Hang, uncle, Li Haoran, Lao Luo, He Bing, Zhou Ran and others were here.
Li Yu's face was not very good, and he ignored them. He just stared at He Bing and Zhou Ran and asked: "How is it? What's the problem? Can it be fixed? How long will it take to fix it?"
He Bing saw Li Yu's expression and looked at Zhou Ran next to him.
Zhou Ran said, "It is initially determined that the short circuit was caused by aging of the line, and then these zombie generators are connected in series, which led to the collective strike."
"Repair is not a big problem, but I just talked to He Bing. After we changed the wires, it may still be easy to have problems later. Now it is thunderstorm weather, and the lightning protection resistor device must lead the lightning into the ground, otherwise it cannot avoid the damage to the power grid."
"In addition, there is the problem of series connection. He Bing and I are more focused on mechanical research. If I want to repair it thoroughly, I need the support of senior electricians or power experts."
As soon as the voice fell.
Li Yu frowned and asked, "Just tell me who can come and solve it!"
He Bing said, "Old Zhou has a senior electrician named Tianshu, who can come to help.
In addition, the old Dong is an electrician, and it should be easy for him to do these things."
Li Yu was silent for a while after hearing this.
He looked at the two people with a sharp eye.
The matter of zombie generators has always been a top secret in the big camphor tree base.
Apart from Li Hang, Zhou Ran and He Bing who invented the zombie generator, only a few people from the outer city, such as Lao Luo, knew about the zombie generator.
The old Dong had joined the camphor tree base for a while, but he had never known the source of the energy in the camphor tree base, and no one had told him.
This is enough to show how much Li Yu values and is cautious about the zombie generator.
Li Yu did not speak, and everyone fell into silence.
In this strange and silent atmosphere, it lasted for two minutes.
"Go and call these two people over. Be sure to keep this secret and don't alarm others." Li Yu suddenly said.
He Bing and Lao Luo saw that Li Yu had made up his mind, so they nodded and ran outside in the rain.
Li Yu looked at their backs, with an obscure look in his eyes.
He asked his uncle, "Who is watching the zombie generator today?"
"Me." Li Zhengping, who was standing in the corner, raised his hand.
Li Zhengping is now eighteen or nineteen years old. After Li Yu personally took him out for a few laps two or three years ago, this internet-addicted teenager has grown a lot.
Li Yu saw that it was him and nodded slightly.
On the other side.
He Bing and Lao Luo pulled Lao Dong and Tian Shu to run over here.
Both of them were simply covered with clothes and looked confused.
Especially when they saw He Bing and his men suddenly knocking on the door, and after coming in, they took Old Dong away without saying a word, leaving Old Dong's family members who didn't know what happened, they were even more confused at this time.
"What happened?"
"Don't worry, it shouldn't be."
"Lao Luo, isn't this the third outer city? You shouldn't be able to come in here." Old Dong said with some doubts.
"Yes, it seems that you can't come in here." Tian Shu also said.
He Bing glanced at Old Dong and asked sullenly: "Aren't you always curious about where the power energy in the base comes from? Now I'll tell you the answer."
"What!" Old Dong and Tian Shu said in unison with disbelief on their faces.
Boom!
At the same time, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky.
The expressions on the faces of the two people were clearly shown.
Surprise, surprise, and a hint of fear of the unknown.
"Ah, this, is this something I can know?" Old Dong said hurriedly.
He had asked Li Yu before, but Li Yu didn't answer him. Obviously, this matter was a secret.
Later, he didn't dare to ask again.
Because there are some things that the leader wants you to know, and you can know them.
If the leader doesn't want you to know, but you know them, then you're done.
As he thought about it, he slowed down his pace.
He Bing turned his head to look at him, and ran forward with his hand holding his arm.
"Mr. Li asked me to call you over!"
The old boss finally let it go.
Mr. Li asked me to come over, so I have no objection.
It's settled!
It's not important to work, and it's not important to know secrets.
The important thing is that Mr. Li asked him to come over, which means that Mr. Li is ready to let him know the secret.
He felt relieved.
With curiosity about the secret, he ran faster than He Bing.
Tianshu pointed at himself and asked, "Well, what about me?"
Lao Luo pulled him and glanced at him and said, "You were also called over by Mr. Li."
Tianshu's face was happy, and he said with a smile, "I knew that the city lord had me in his heart."
"Oh no, no, no, that's not what I meant. I mean, the city lord always remembers me."
"Ah! No, I mean, the city lord is respectful and remembers all our names, which is great..."
Lao Luo was a little annoyed and quickly stopped him: "Don't talk, hurry up and catch up."
"Oh oh. OK."
Soon, they came to the third outer city gate.
Looking at the building that they were never allowed to approach.
The windows outside the building were welded shut with steel plates, and it was impossible to see what was inside from the outside.
Is this building the secret of the power energy of the big camphor tree base?
Looking at this building full of mystery.
Both Lao Dong and Tianshu slowly stopped.
This was the first time they approached.
"Let's go, why are you still standing?" Lao Luo urged from behind.
Lao Dong and the others hurried forward.
On the first floor, Zhou Ran saw the figures appearing in the rain outside, and quickly said to Li Yu and the others, "They are back!"
Li Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at the door.
They are not in the room with the zombie generator now, but in the corridor outside.
All the rooms on the first floor where the zombie generator is located have been opened up and separated from the outside by a wall, so that the zombies inside will not be discovered as soon as they enter the door.
Swish, swish, swish!
Other people on the first floor also looked at the door.
Tap, tap, tap——
Old Dong was the first to run in, and as soon as he came in, he saw seven or eight pairs of eyes looking at him.
So many people!
"Mr. Li, Chief of Defense." Old Dong quickly greeted everyone.
Li Yu nodded, and then said to Old Dong and the others, "I asked you to come here because I want you to solve some problems."
"What trouble?" Old Dong was very nervous, and his heart was about to jump out.
He had already seen some electrical boxes in the corridor, and he was faintly excited.
Li Yu glanced at Lao Dong and said, "Follow me."
