"Why is there smoke over there? Is there a fire?" Sergeant Luo was looking at the thick smoke billowing from behind the limestone mine.

Lao Luo raised his head and looked in that direction, and sure enough, there was white smoke.

"The city lord said they are back, so they should be fine."

As they were talking, several trucks appeared on the right side of the limestone mine and were heading towards them.

Lao Luo quickly stood up and jumped out of the car.

We welcomed the city lord and his men back under the car.

Crunch!

The vehicle stopped and Lao Luo and others gathered around.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

"City Lord, what's going on in the cave? What should we do now?"

After hearing what Lao Luo said, Li Yu turned and looked at the limestone mines next to him.

"The cave has been blown up and sealed by us."

"you."

"Everyone, retreat. Don't mine in this mine. Go to another limestone mine."

There is an underground river in that underground cave, and they don’t know where the underground river leads to, so leaving here is the best option.

When Sergeant Luo heard the city lord say that he wanted to leave, his face lit up with joy.

Once the mining site is determined, these cooperative personnel are required to stay here permanently, and people from outside the city rarely come here.

So many of their men died here, and there are so many zombies in the cave not far from them. It’s disgusting just thinking about it.

Sergeant Luo was eager to leave here.

"Pack up and go back to base."

Li Yu got out of the car and walked towards the helicopter.

Lao Bi and others at the back lifted up the mutant zombies that were tied up tightly and put them onto the helicopter.

This trip was not particularly smooth because we didn't see the underground river and it was unclear why there were so many mutated zombies here.

However, at least the underground cave was sealed.

Li Yu and others boarded the helicopter, leaving Yu Wei and Sergeant Luo and others to drive the electric trucks back to the headquarters base.

buzzing-

The helicopter flew into the sky, and Li Yu looked at the raging fire burning below.

The flames had spread to the woods, and even the nearby hills were set on fire.

Look away, close your eyes and relax.

It's the end of the world, who cares about them burning the mountains?

What's more, if all these weeds and trees are burned, there will be less place for the zombies to hide.

Ten minutes later.

The helicopter landed in the outer city of the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Bai Jie asked Lao Bi and others to help carry the mutant zombies they brought back into the research institute.

She had to hurry up and study these mutated zombies. According to Yu Wei and others, these mutated zombies were stronger than before.

By conducting biopsy studies, we can find out whether the amount of virus contained in these zombie bodies has increased.

If it increases, it will verify the previous speculation again:

The more virus an individual zombie carries in its body, the more powerful it is.

This is just the change of zombies found in the cave. It may be special and not representative.

We will need to capture mutated zombies from other places for research before we can confirm that the zombies are indeed getting stronger.

Not long after Li Yu and others returned to the base, several helicopters took off and flew north.

Lao Zhou personally led the team and sent the ultraviolet lamps recently produced in the base to Oil City and the North Border.

In addition, some agricultural-related technical experts will also be sent to the north.

Agricultural planting in the North has been planned for a long time.
Li Yu finalized the plan with his second uncle and others half a year ago after the Northern Territory was annihilated.

Even the raw materials for building the solar greenhouse, PVC solar panel materials and equipment are ready.

Construction started for a while, but then a thunderstorm interrupted their plans.

Unfortunately, it can only be put on hold until now.

In the helicopter, Lao Zhou sat in the co-pilot seat, looking at the electronic map.

"Dingshan, I have never been to that oil city. What does it look like?"

Ding Shan was flying a helicopter, wearing black sunglasses.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "How should I put it? I don't know how to describe it. You will know when you go there."

"Brother Zhou, did you follow Brother Qin before?"

Lao Zhou smiled and said:

"Well, after retiring from the army, he went to the lathe factory. I didn't know that Lao Qin came from that team before."

Ding Shan said with emotion: "Half a year ago, Brother Qin and I went to the Northern Territory and saw with our own eyes how the minister and his men suppressed those Northern Territory affiliated personnel who did not obey their management. It was fierce!"

Lao Zhou felt proud of it. Recalling the time he spent with Lao Qin in the lathe factory, he felt as if he were in another world.

It seemed like a very long time had passed.

But in fact, it has only been more than five years since the end of the world, but it feels like he experienced it more than ten or twenty years ago.

The helicopter flew towards the oil city according to the predetermined route.

Ding Shan has flown this route many times and is very familiar with it.

The two chatted and time passed slowly.

Three and a half hours later, they arrived safely in Oil City.

Old Zhou looked down from the sky and saw the huge oil city and trading market with shock in his eyes.

He originally thought it was just a very small base, but he didn't expect it to be so big!
The trading market covers an area of ​​2,000 acres, which is almost the same size as the inner city of the Dazhangshu base plus the four outer cities.

However, if the headquarters base is combined with the buffer city, it will be more than ten times larger than the trading market.

Lao Zhou had been at the headquarters base for a long time and didn’t know there was such a large area outside the base.

And it looks like there are a lot of people inside.

Construction work is in full swing in the trading market, and the houses are arranged in an orderly manner.

It can be imagined that if the trading bazaar is completed, it should not be too bad.

With this shocked mood, the helicopter slowly landed in the oil city.

Upon learning that someone was coming from the headquarters base, Ju Tianrui brought Dongtai and others out to greet them.

"Huh? Lao Zhou, why are you here? I thought it was Captain Li Tie and the others?"

Old Zhou looked at Ju Tianrui, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
"They just happened to be busy, so I came over to fill in. You guys did a great job, you did it so well, and you created such a large territory without making any noise."

Ju Tianrui had a smile on his face. Indeed, Oil City had changed a lot in this period of time.

The trading market was built at an astonishing speed, and there is a market street that has become increasingly popular recently.

He oversaw the construction of the trading bazaar from scratch.

"These are all achievements made under the leadership of the city lord."

Hearing Ju Tianrui's answer, Lao Zhou laughed teasingly: "You are becoming too greasy."

"Come on, come on. I'm here to welcome you. You haven't eaten yet, right? I'll take you to the cafeteria. The food here is definitely not as good as the food at the headquarters base. Just eat something." Ju Tianrui pulled Lao Zhou away from the helicopter pad.

After a few pleasantries, the unfamiliar feeling of not seeing each other for a long time faded a lot. Dongtai and others also took over the agricultural expert technical team including Zhang Qiwu.

It was already one o'clock in the afternoon when Lao Zhou and his friends arrived at the Oil City.

in the dining hall.

Old Zhou always felt that the food cooked in Oil City was not quite up to standard.

It can be seen that the person who made this food has good cooking skills, but there are some problems with the ingredients, they are not fresh enough.

There are no vegetables grown in the Oil City. Many of them are dried vegetables transported from the headquarters base. People here mainly eat staple foods, and there are not many meat or vegetables.

The two ate food and chatted.

"Where are Lao Yi and Lao Xie? Aren't they also in Oil City?"

"As for them, Old Xie has already gone to the North. Old Yi also led a convoy to the North two days ago. I think they should be able to reach the North tomorrow."

"Oh, my main mission this time is to transport the ultraviolet lamps and send Mr. Zhang and his people to the northern border. I think I'll set off after lunch."

"So anxious?"

"Well, the headquarters said that the minister was in a hurry, but when we came back, we were not in such a hurry, so we could stay in Oil City for one more day."

"Okay, when you come back, I'll take you to visit the trade fair."

Lao Zhou thought about it and suddenly said:

"By the way, we can keep a batch of ultraviolet lamps produced by the headquarters base and sent to the northern border for you."

"Ok?"

Ju Tianrui asked with some doubt:

"We have enough here, why."

Lao Zhou put down his chopsticks, rubbed his sore hands and explained:
"The city lord said that we can put some of them for sale in the trade market. On the one hand, it will promote the circulation of goods in the trade market. On the other hand, it will also give the survivors more chances to survive in the wild at night."

"I see. The city lord has indeed thought deeply about this." Ju Tianrui nodded, his tone full of admiration.

Ten minutes later.

Lao Zhou boarded the helicopter accompanied by Ju Tianrui.

Watching the helicopter fly farther and farther away, Ju Tianrui suddenly asked Xiao Jun beside him:
"Do you think Lao Zhou seems to have become whiter?"

"Uh, Battalion Commander, I'm not familiar with him." When Xiao Jun heard Ju Tianrui asking this question, his cerebellum atrophied a little.

"What I mean is that Lao Zhou is doing mechanical engineering in the base, and he stays in the factory all day. He doesn't have the same sense of crisis as he did at the beginning."

"Forget it. I can't explain it clearly."

Ju Tianrui shook his head and stopped thinking about it. When he saw Dongtai passing by, he quickly called out to him.

"Dongtai, did you keep anyone just now?"

Dongtai pointed to the lounge in Oil City and said:
"I left a student from Mr. Zhang's farm. I will take them to the ancient tomb bunker later."

They plan to build a zombie generator in the ancient tomb bunker to generate electricity, and will also set aside an area for growing crops.

People like Ju Tianrui are all combatants and don't know how to plant crops at all.

So we kept an agricultural expert to be responsible for this matter.

"That's fine." After hearing that an expert was left behind, Ju Tianrui nodded with satisfaction.

He is in charge of the Oil City, not only has to manage the protection against zombies to ensure the safety of the Oil City, but also has to consider all the big and small matters in the Oil City.

Apart from anything else, oil extraction alone requires professionals to do the job.

Not to mention the others.

During this period, he became increasingly aware of the importance of professionals.

There are many things that he simply cannot understand, but when he hands them over to professionals, they can be solved in no time.

Managing a city requires specialization.

During the thunderstorm disaster, he stayed with his uncle and became more aware of this problem.

As the person in charge of a city, you must have a broad perspective.

You can't do everything yourself. This behavior may seem attentive, but it is extremely inefficient.

As a person in charge, it is not necessary to have outstanding abilities in a certain field, but to know how to use people and put the right people in the right positions.

This way you can be more relaxed and get things done better.

He watched the minister run Oil City and learned a lot from it.

After the minister left Oil City, he followed suit.

He doesn't know how to manage the trading market, doesn't know what categories of goods should be added, and doesn't know what specific system to use to regulate market behavior.

So he recruited everyone in the oil city and even the trading market,

From a non-staff member of the oil city to a cooperative member,
Even members of the Northern Territory's affiliated forces and even the survivors in the trading market.

Bring them together to come up with solutions, and pick out a few real economic experts to help.

After stretching, he strolled towards the lounge.

"Go see that agricultural expert."

After learning how to use people, he felt more and more relaxed. He no longer had to frown and rack his brains to think about things he didn't understand at all.

There is more time to think about how to attract more talents.

I'll have to look through the registration manual for people entering and leaving the trading market later to see if there are any powerful people.

Four p.m.

But Lao Yi led a team of armored vehicles and military trucks and set out from the oil city, heading north.

We have just arrived at a logistics park in the northern suburbs of Shijiazhuang City.

Logistics parks are generally built in places with convenient transportation and are also surrounded by walls.

Perfect for their on-the-go convoy.

"Captain, shall we spend the night here tonight?" Changsheng parked the armored vehicle on the side of the road and pointed to the logistics park not far away.

Lao Yi looked at the logistics park outside the car window.

The logistics park wall is made of concrete and is three and a half meters high, which is quite suitable for their overnight needs.

In fact, they had no choice but to walk on land.

Some large equipment items cannot be transported by helicopter at all.

For things like armored vehicles and heavy artillery, the most suitable way is to do it over land.

The North is huge, and without sufficient firepower, it cannot be defended.

"Then this way."

Lao Yi picked up the intercom and called:
"Gu Long, take some people in to investigate first."

"it is good."

In another armored vehicle, Gu Long asked the driver to drive the car to the entrance of the logistics park.

The gate of the logistics park was open. Although it was four o'clock in the afternoon, it was still a bit hot.

The sun was scorching, and the logistics park was empty. There were piles of garbage inside, and flies and insects were attached to a rotting corpse.

Crunch!

The armored vehicle's tires rolled on the road and entered the logistics park.

With a loud "bang", a piece of glass fell from a building in the logistics park.

Debris was scattered everywhere, and at the same time, a beast-like growl came from deep inside the logistics park.

A group of zombies rushed out of the building.
