Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1396 The scorching sun burns the heart
north.

With the arrival of Zhang Qiwu, Lao Zhou and others, the renovation project in the northern border was restarted and gradually got on track.

It took Lao Xie, Gu Long and others half a day yesterday to redeploy the defense system in the north.

Although it is not as tight as the headquarters base, it also has certain air defense capabilities.

More than a dozen anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft machine guns, plus sentry towers everywhere, are enough to deal a heavy blow to the enemy when they approach.

Everything is on track.

In the inner city, Xie Weishan transported the PC sun panels and steel frames that had already been produced from the warehouse and started to build a greenhouse.

This time he brought a dozen skilled construction workers with him. After handing over the matters here to them, he hurriedly transported some PC solar panels to the outer city by truck with Guo Peng and others.

Teach Dan Zheng and other people from other cities how to build greenhouses.

The outer city in the north is vast, and the planted area is much larger than that of the inner and outer cities of the large camphor tree base.

In addition to residential buildings, parking garages, sidewalks, and driveways, greenhouses will be built in other places.

If greenhouses were built in these places, food could be produced stably all year round.

In this way, a large amount of food can be stably exported to the Oil City and the Big Camphor Tree Base.

The grain production at the current Dazhangshu base should be at least five times higher.

The area of ​​the inner and outer cities of the large camphor tree base is not very large, and a lot of the space inside is used for other purposes, leaving much less space for greenhouses.

On the outer city wall.

Old Huang took the bag of tobacco from Old Yi and smiled from ear to ear.

"Old Yi, you are really nice. You are still thinking about me, Old Huang."

Lao Yi smiled and didn't respond.

He stretched and walked out of the watchtower.

A heat wave hit, the sky was blue, the clouds were white, and the sun was shining brightly.

After the thunderstorm, the temperature suddenly rose.

It's been at least 38 or 39 degrees these past two days.

The temperature even reached 40 degrees in places without shade.

They had already changed into thin, wide, short-sleeved combat uniforms, but even so, they still sweated profusely after staying on the wall for a while.

There is a plain to the south of the North Territory with an excellent view.

Plus the walls are high, so you can see very far away.

A winding river flows into the plain, and houses are scattered across the plain.

There are no buildings within three kilometers of the northern border. Yuan Zhi demolished all the houses in order to have a better view of the northern border.

In the plains, the abandoned ridges of the fields were overgrown with weeds.

There was heavy rain some time ago, and there has been plenty of sunshine these days, causing these shrubs and weeds to grow rapidly, growing to more than one meter tall.

The dilapidated houses in the distance had roofs covered with various plants.

The area is densely wooded and overlooked from the wall.

Vibrant.

Even on the roads leading to the north, there were some sparse grass and trees growing.

In the cracks of the sun-baked asphalt road, a few foxtail grasses swayed in the wind.

"Ok?"

Lao Yi suddenly saw a group of people walking towards them seven or eight kilometers away.

who?

He returned to the watchtower, took out the telescope, and looked over there.

This group of people looked extremely miserable. There were about a dozen of them, carrying large and small packages on their backs and leaning on crutches in their hands. They looked no different from the refugees seen in the apocalypse.

However, when Lao Yi saw the guns in their hands, he felt that these people might not be refugees.

How could refugees possibly possess weapons like guns?

Confused, he quickly called over the eagle that was also on duty on the outer city wall.

The outer city walls are now mainly guarded by outer city personnel, but a team from the inner city will also be sent to guard the gate.

Thousands of talents came from the headquarters of the Dazhangshu base, some of whom were technical personnel from various industries, and the rest were also responsible for managing the inner and outer cities, as well as guarding the inner city walls.

There are not enough people to guard the outer city, so Eagle and other people from outer city are needed to come and help.

After hearing what Lao Yi said on the intercom, Lao Ying hurried over from the side.

He rode a mini electric scooter produced in the big camphor tree base, which is an extremely convenient means of transportation.

It is very popular on the walls of Oil City and Big Camphor Tree Base.

After all, the area is large and the circumference of the wall is also very long, so it would be too slow to walk here.

The small electric donkey is just right.

It is small in size and can be lifted by one person.

Eagle came to the main gate of the wall and asked, "Captain Yi, you are looking for me?"

Old Yi handed over the telescope in his hand, frowning slightly.

"Look, do you recognize these people?"

The eagle glanced in the direction where Lao Yi was looking, but the distance was too far and it couldn't see clearly.

Put the telescope in front of your eyes and after magnification, the image becomes much clearer.

He looked it over carefully.

It stayed on the man at the front of the group for a few seconds.

He put down the telescope with a complicated expression.

"Know him?" Lao Yi guessed when he saw his expression.

"Ah."

"I know them. They are from the Flame Gang. They are also members of the Northern Territory. However, during the thunderstorm disaster, they refused to enter the Northern Territory and did not go to Oil City. They chose to stay in their own base."

"The one walking in front is the leader of the Flame Gang, Huo Guanghua."

"It looks like they must have walked all the way here from their own shelter."

Old Eagle's tone was filled with sighs. Among the former affiliated forces in the North, the Flame Gang was considered a relatively powerful team, with a size of four to five hundred people and dozens of guns.

The leader of the Flame Gang, Huo Guanghua, was also a very proud man. He even sneered at those who stayed in the northern border.

They gathered in Ding County, 80 kilometers southeast of the northern border, but they didn't expect that after a thunderstorm.

There are only so few people left.

The mortality rate reached over 95 percent.

However, being able to survive the thunderstorm disaster was considered a great achievement for Huo Guanghua.

The mortality rate among those who stayed in the north was also extremely high.

What about those who are staying outside.

When Lao Yi learned that these people were the affiliated forces that were previously unwilling to enter the Northern Territory, he looked a little unhappy.

These people had already reminded them that they did not believe in thunderstorm disasters, and now that things had become so miserable, they still had the nerve to return to the North.

However, I am still unhappy.

The minister is here, and he doesn't have the power to stop these people from entering the city.

Whether they can enter the North still depends on the minister's opinion.

Thinking of this, he pressed the play button on the intercom on his chest.
"Minister, the Flame Gang has come to the North. They are the affiliated forces that we warned before, but they did not come to the North. It seems that they have suffered heavy losses. Now there are only a dozen people left."

"Should we chase them away or let them in?"

Uncle San was in the PC sun panel processing factory in the inner city at this time. After hearing what Lao Yi said, he said to the staff next to him:
"Produce as soon as possible. We are waiting for the solar panels to be used now. You must supply them at the speed Xie Weishan and his team use them."

After saying that, he walked out of the factory.

The sun was scorching, and he did not answer Lao Yi immediately.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Wait, I'll come over."

I got into the pickup truck parked outside the factory and turned on the air conditioner.

The cold air blows out slowly from the vent, giving people a sense of refreshment.

"Captain, are we going to the outer city?" Lao Qin asked while sitting in the driver's seat.

"Well, let's go take a look."

Vehicles are driving along the main roads in the inner city.

After two days of cleaning, the inner city is no longer as messy as when I first arrived.

It’s just that the weather is a little hot, and people who are sunbathing feel a little listless.

Crunch!
The car stopped at the steps leading up to the outer city wall, and Uncle San got out of the car.

Looking at the long staircase, he smacked his lips and said, "The headquarters base is more convenient, with a helicopter elevator."

Hearing this, Lao Qin laughed and said, "Indeed, Captain, we have been out of the headquarters base for more than half a year."

Uncle San calculated the date and said, "Yes."

"Yes, let's ask Jackal to go back to the headquarters base someday. His son is at the headquarters base, and the two of them haven't seen each other for more than half a year. It's a good opportunity for him to send back the zombie corpse that Lao Yi brought back."

"Yeah." Lao Qin nodded.

After climbing up the wall, Lao Yi, Lao Ying and others came to greet them.

Uncle San immediately saw a group of people coming from the main road leading to the northern border three kilometers away.

I picked up the telescope and took a closer look at this group of people. They looked pale and as hungry as ghosts.

He put down the telescope and thought for a few seconds.

He glanced at the eagle and asked, "Eagle, do you think we should let them in?"

"what?"

Eagle obviously didn't expect the minister to ask him this question.

He couldn't guess what the minister was thinking.

After all, I reminded him before, but he didn't listen. It seems that I am not very sincere to come back now.

After all, it is a bit disgusting to see someone who doesn't trust you and comes to you for help after suffering a loss outside.

However, although he was not familiar with Huo Guanghua of the Flame Gang before, they were at least acquaintances.

"I think we can let them in." After a while, he finally expressed his true thoughts.

"Reason?" Uncle San asked immediately after he finished speaking.

"They have suffered losses outside, so they know how to cherish the opportunities given to them now, and they will definitely be more loyal to you in the future."

Uncle San doesn’t care much about loyalty or not. People’s hearts are hidden in their stomachs, and he is not so powerful that he can see through people’s hearts at a glance.

But the eagle was right about one thing: people who have experienced hardship know how to cherish more.

"Then let them in."

Uncle San looked at Lao Yi and said:
"You can ask them how they survived this period. It's interesting that they can walk hundreds of kilometers without ultraviolet light."

"Okay, Minister."

After all, this is just a small matter, and Uncle San will not stay here and wait for them to come over and receive them personally.

The group walked too slowly. It would take them at least twenty to thirty minutes to walk three kilometers.

As for opening the city gate and bringing them in by car, that was even more impossible.

These people have to bear the consequences of their own choices.

Uncle San took a look and left. He wanted to check the air defense system layout in the outer wall.

He hadn't had time to come and see it since it was arranged yesterday, so now that he happened to be at the exterior wall, he decided to take a look.

The weather was suffocatingly hot, and the ground was as hot as a furnace. Huo Guanghua and others who were on the asphalt road kept crossing the edge of the road covered with overgrown grass.

Drops of sweat dripped from their foreheads, and their backs were already soaked with sweat.

My head was dizzy.

After the thunderstorm ended, they came out of the building where they had been hiding for months.

Terrible!

Those who did not run into the building in time all died in the thunderstorm.

Most of the food was also caught in the heavy rain and was washed away by the flood without time to rescue it.

As soon as the thunderstorm ended, they knew that they would not be able to survive the apocalypse on their own.

So they unanimously decided to head to the north.

They regretted it so much. If they had listened to Minister Li and the others earlier, they would have moved to the northern border and banded together with other forces. That would have been better than it is now.

They have to travel through mountains and rivers and watch out for zombies climbing walls at night. They can only hide in basements or closed buildings at dusk and endure the night.

Fortunately, they were few in number and not very popular, so they did not attract too many zombies.

However, as they walked along, the food was consumed and many people were almost unable to hold on.

thump!
When Huo Guanghua heard the sound, he turned his head with difficulty and saw one of his men lying on the ground.

"Binjie!" Huo Guanghua called out in a low voice.

His face was covered in sweat and he walked over and squatted down.

I put my hand on Lan Binjie's nose and he was still breathing.

clap clap!

He slapped Lan Binjie twice, trying to wake him up.

Not awake, completely unconscious.

Motionless like a dead body.

If they hadn't cared about him, Lan Binjie would probably have died here.

Friend, don't give up.

Huo Guanghua gritted his teeth and looked at the two people next to him.

"Du Feng, Niu Lao San."

"Hurry, help him up, we're only two kilometers away." Huo Guanghua shouted to his men on both sides.

The two men were exhausted and handed the backpacks on their backs to their companions.

Their physical strength has reached its limit. If they carry a bag and support someone else, they will definitely not be able to hold on.

The two men squatted down with difficulty, and then helped Lan Binjie up.

His legs were shaking violently, seemingly unable to support Lan Binjie's weight.

Lan Binjie fainted at the perfect time, and both of them hated their companion at this moment.

Their bodies were already at their limit and they wanted to faint and let their companions help them walk.

Ugh.
It's hard to support and to stagger.

They were very close to the northern border, and Huo Guanghua could see Lao Yi, Lao Ying and others standing on the outer wall.

He was extremely ashamed. He had always been proud, but pride was useless.

He lowered his proud head, and this time he realized his problem.

If that had happened, perhaps so many people wouldn't have died.

Perhaps those supplies would not be washed away by the flood.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The supplies that had been stored for many years were gone, and only the dozen or so people around him were left after the death of his men.

Almost nothing.

Whenever he thought about this journey, he felt extremely regretful.

But life must go on, and he has to continue living with the rest of the people.

The sun was shining brightly, making them dizzy.

The food has been consumed in the past few days. Without food, there is no energy.

They have to go such a long way again, and the only thing that keeps them going is willpower.

Finally we arrived at the gate of the northern outer wall.

Huo Guanghua pursed his lips stubbornly, then fell to his knees on the ground.

thump!
The people behind him followed suit.

It would be more accurate to say that he sat on the ground to rest due to exhaustion rather than kneeling on the ground.

"Flame Gang, I, Huo Guanghua, was blind and did not listen to your advice. Our Flame Gang suffered heavy losses in the thunderstorm disaster."

"We are now in a desperate situation. Please take us in!"

"please!"

He bowed towards the northern gate.

Old Yi looked at Huo Guanghua below with some surprise, and then looked at the eagle.

This attitude is quite humble, but it shouldn't be that serious.

Although they suffered heavy losses, they still had more than a dozen people. If they thought of a way, they might be able to survive outside.

What Lao Yi didn't know was that the thunderstorm disaster had dealt them a heavy blow.

Moreover, the wall-climbing zombies that appeared after the thunderstorm were like a nightmare, making them realize how weak they were.

"Open the city gate and let them in." Lao Yi shouted to a team member in the watchtower behind.

The team member pressed the gate switch button.

Boom boom!

The outer city gate slowly opened.

When Huo Guanghua heard the sound of the city gate opening, he raised his head from the ground.

Seeing the city gate open, his eyes were filled with excitement and a hint of tears.

"Brothers, the door is open, we are saved, let's go!"

He picked up a wooden stick from the ground, supported himself to stand up, and walked towards the door.

On the wall, the eagle saw the scene below and felt indescribable feelings in his heart.

I'm not being sarcastic, I just feel that sometimes it's too difficult to live in this apocalypse.

Big camphor tree base.

Under the scorching sun, the watermelons picked from the greenhouses are chilled and then transported to the inner and outer city duty rooms to provide heat relief to the duty personnel.

Click!

Yang Tianlong took big bites of a slice of watermelon; it was icy and sweet.

"This melon is delicious, sweeter than yesterday's."

Other people in the duty room were also eating watermelon, enjoying the air conditioning, and looking happy.

"Brother Yang, I've finished eating. I'm going out for patrol." A staff member on duty next to him said to Yang Tianlong.

"Put the watermelon rinds in the bucket. Lao Zhou said that these watermelon rinds should not be thrown away randomly. Use them to feed pigs." Yang Tianlong reminded.

"Yeah." Everyone said they understood.

Sometimes they also felt like they were dreaming, eating iced watermelon in the sweltering heat of the apocalypse.

Simply outrageous.

They ate all the red parts of the watermelon, leaving only the thin layer of skin underneath.

Although watermelons are supplied at the headquarters base, there are many people in the base and the amount distributed to each person is limited.

They got an extra piece because they were on duty.

Partners and non-staff members are not qualified to share these.

Sometimes the difference between the four levels cannot be felt, but it can often be reflected in some details.

In the inner city.

Li Yu scooped half of the iced watermelon with a spoon. He had a big appetite and could finish half of it easily.

Lying on the recliner, swaying back and forth.

While using the walkie-talkie to learn about the situation in the base.

"He Chao, have Yu Wei and his team found a new limestone mine?"

"Found it. I got a new one. It's near the Fourth Satellite City. But it's half the size of the limestone mine in Hefeng Town."

"Let's mine first, and then move to another place when all the minerals are mined."

(Ask for monthly ticket)
