Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1431 "You guys still have a cinema here??!"

Buffer outside the city.

Xiao Jun looked at the buffer city wall with some regret. There were some construction workers still working on the wall.

The workers looked at the convoy curiously.

Although he had heard from Lao Luo and others that the headquarters base had already been built to the national highway, he was still quite surprised at the time.

Because in his impression, the national highway is still some distance away from the big camphor tree base.

I didn’t expect that the entire large camphor tree base now covers such a large area.

The inner city of the Dazhangshu base covers hundreds of acres, and the four outer cities together cover more than a thousand acres, but the entire buffer city has a total area of ​​20,000 acres.

This buffer city covers a large area and includes many surrounding villages.

The wall of the buffer city is roughly ten meters high, much shorter than the oil city trading market.

Ma Yingxue looked at the buffer city wall curiously through the window and asked Xiao Jun in confusion:

"Is this the Camphor Tree Base? Why is the wall so much lower than that in Oil City?"

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

The height of a base's walls can sometimes be used to indirectly judge the strength of the base.

The higher the wall, the stronger its ability to block zombies. However, it is not easy to build a tall wall.

When Ma Yingxue had a preconceived idea, she was naturally a little disappointed when she saw that the wall of the Dazhangshu headquarters base was not even as high as the trading market.

"It's the big camphor tree base, but it's the outermost area. When I left here before, these walls hadn't been built yet." Xiao Jun replied.

"Yeah." Ma Yingxue nodded thoughtfully.

She had heard Xiao Jun mention the big camphor tree base before, but Xiao Jun mentioned that the big camphor tree base was only divided into the inner city and the outer city.

"Is this the outer city? It looks like it should be quite large."

They sat in the car and drove forward for a long time, and they could still see the wall.

Xiao Jun shook his head and looked out the car window next to Ma Yingxue.

"This is not the outer city. This is the buffer city outside the outer city. It covers an area of ​​20,000 acres."

"What??"

Ma Yingxue was stunned.

"How much?"

"Twenty thousand acres." Xiao Jun said again.

Ma Yingxue stuttered a little, completely shocked by the area. "This, this, this, this is ten times bigger than the trade fair! Twenty to thirty times bigger than South Paradise!"

giant.

To enclose such a large area and then build a wall more than ten meters high, the workload is terrifying!
To be honest, Xiao Jun was also a little surprised.

After all, 20,000 acres is not a small number. It is said that the construction of this buffer city began before the thunderstorm disaster.

The shock in Ma Yingxue's heart was reflected on her face.

At the same time, I feel a bit complicated. With such a large area, how long did it take to build it?
And this is only the third layer of the wall, there will be two more walls behind it, the outer city and the inner city.

I am looking forward to it more and more.

I thought to myself: There is no so-called inner or outer city in South Paradise, there is only a wall.

This large camphor tree base actually has three walls and three gates.

It's truly extraordinary.

Buffer city gate entrance.

When Yu Lei saw Huang Zheng, his eyes lit up.

"Huang Zheng, you are back too."

Although Yu Lei is just a non-staff member, he has seniority and joined the Dazhangshu base earlier than Xiao Jun and others.

Moreover, throughout the base, whether it is personnel from inner and outer cities or even non-staff personnel, most of the team leaders know Yu Lei.

In addition, Yu Lei is a good person and has good relationships with people, so many people from other cities have a good relationship with him in the Dazhangshu base.

There are also Zhao Kui and Cui Wen, although they are just non-staff members, but the three of them, including Yu Lei, have shed blood for the base, which is why they are disabled.

The top management of the Dazhangshu base will protect such people intentionally or unintentionally.

"Old Yu, does your leg still hurt?" Huang Zheng waved his hand and asked with a smile.

"It's like that. It still hurts when it rains."

"I won't stop the car to chat with you anymore, get back to the conversation."

"Okay, hurry up."

Yu Lei smiled and watched Huang Zheng driving into the buffer city in an armored vehicle.

Huang Zheng and Yu Lei chatted for a few words without stopping the car, but the speed was relatively slow.

After all, he was the first car in the convoy. If he stopped, the rest of the convoy would have to stop as well.

Xiao Jun could stop, but he couldn't.

As he watched trucks and tankers drive into the buffer city, the smile on Yu Lei's face never stopped.

He regards the big camphor tree base as his own home, and moving the oil from the trucks to his home gives him an inexplicable sense of accomplishment and happiness.

In the convoy, someone would open the window and call him "Lao Yu" from time to time.

Sometimes, when you have enough experience, it is also an advantage.

soon.

Half of the convoy entered the buffer city, and the armored vehicle that Xiao Jun and Ma Yingxue were riding in entered the buffer city at this moment.

After entering the buffer city, Ma Yingxue’s first impression was that it was huge!
As the convoy was returning, a road had been cleared in advance for them to enter and exit.

Ma Yingxue saw hundreds of electric trucks lined up neatly on the east side. These electric trucks were converted from ordinary trucks and looked somewhat different in appearance.

"Is that a truck? Why does it look a bit bloated?" Ma Yingxue looked at the trucks. The chassis of the trucks seemed to be higher, which looked strange no matter how she looked at them.

"Electric trucks are a feature of the headquarters base. The degree of electrification here is relatively high." Xiao Jun explained. He knew about the existence of zombie generators.

After the zombie generator was developed a few years ago, the development direction of the Dazhangshu base shifted towards electricity, replacing all kinds of products that could be replaced by electricity.

For example, vehicles have changed from fuel-powered to electric-powered, and charcoal heating has changed to using electricity to turn on air conditioning and heating.
"The small electric scooter that the city lord and his men sent over last time was also produced at the headquarters base, right?" Ma Yingxue asked.

"Correct."

Ma Yingxue still doesn't know about the existence of the zombie generator, and this matter is kept highly confidential in the Big Camphor Tree Base.

Xiao Jun couldn't tell Ma Yingxue about this either, so she didn't know about it until now.

Although telling Ma Yingxue would definitely benefit South Paradise, he couldn't say it.

The key for the Dazhangshu base to maintain its leading position in development lies in these developed equipment.

Energy is one step ahead of others and affects all aspects of things.

If South Park also builds a zombie generator, then South Park's dependence on Oil City for oil will inevitably decrease, and Oil City's influence on South Park will also decrease invisibly.

At the same time, the trade with South Paradise will decrease, and it will not be possible to exchange oil with South Paradise for medicines, sugar and other items.

It was already evening.

Dang Dang Dang——

A clear bell rang.

This was a reminder for the construction workers in the buffer city to go off work, as it would be almost dark in half an hour.

The buffer city construction site is very large, and it takes some time for the partners to get off work and return to their residences.

Ma Yingxue leaned on the car window and looked at the buffer city of the camphor tree base curiously. There were no large tracts of forest in the buffer city, but it was not completely bare either.

In order to maintain the visual field of the large camphor tree base, they cut down most of the trees, leaving only a few scattered trees as embellishments.

In the future, once the buffer city is completely built, we will plant some fruit trees.

It can be used as a landscape tree, and it can also grow fruit as food.

But natural disasters are uncertain, and a storm can blow down the buds and branches that grow in spring.

The fruit trees planted in recent years have not produced many fruits.

The output of fruits in the base mainly relies on planting in greenhouses.

Six cement roads, three horizontal and three vertical, were built in the buffer city. However, due to the crushing of heavy trucks transporting raw materials and the falling of some gravel and sand, there was some sand on the road, causing the tires to slip.

So, they didn't dare drive too fast.

This also gave Ma Yingxue, who was sitting in the armored vehicle, time to watch carefully.

Looking all the way, there was nothing surprising about the buffer city, except that the construction equipment here was more complete than she had imagined.

In a trance, it seemed as if I had returned to the construction sites before the end of the world.

The workers who came down from the roadside wall looked at the convoy curiously while walking.

“Is this the convoy coming back from Oil City?”

"It should be. Look at that tanker truck. It must be filled with oil. Oil City hasn't shipped any oil back for several months."

"There was a thunderstorm disaster a few months ago, so there was no way to deliver the goods even if we wanted to." There are also several mountains in the buffer city, so the convoy took a detour.

What comes into view is the towering outer city wall.

When Ma Yingxue saw the outer city wall that was 56 meters high, her eyes were full of shock.

This is ridiculously high!

In fact, the walls of the inner and outer cities have been constantly raised and reinforced, and the construction has never stopped.

However, the height is not increased uniformly, but is increased and reinforced in sections, strengthening it little by little.

Looking at the towering wall not far away, Ma Yingxue asked:
“Is this the outer city?”

"Yes." Xiao Jun nodded with a smile.

I have been away from the headquarters base for too long, and I don’t know what changes will happen inside.

However, his residence in the outer city has been moved to the inner city.

The outer city walls were heavily guarded. Ma Yingxue could see that there was a searchlight and an ultraviolet lamp at regular intervals, with patrol officers walking back and forth on them.

Moreover, there are guards on duty with guns on the high protruding watchtower.

There's even a camera installed on it.

The most eye-catching thing is the three neatly arranged lines on the wall.

"What are those three lines? Are they used for decoration?" Ma Yingxue asked with some confusion.

Xiao Jun took a look, shook his head and replied with a smile:
"It's not a decoration. It's three layers of moving gates. When each layer is opened, the gates will move quickly."

"Three floors! Oh my god, it would consume so much electricity if all of them were turned on." Ma Yingxue covered her mouth, amazed by the wealth of the large camphor tree base.

She had seen mobile gate knives before in the trading market and the oil city, and had witnessed the effectiveness of this thing in killing zombies during heavy rain.

South Park previously made a castrated version, but since it couldn’t be powered by electricity, it could only be operated manually and didn’t consume electricity, so it was a bit useless.

"But why does this mobile switch look different from the one in the trading market?"

"That's the simplified version, and the one at the headquarters base is the enhanced version."

"Oh." Ma Yingxue nodded.

Soon they arrived outside the outer city gate.

Rumbling--

The outer city gate burst open.

The armored vehicle team drove in slowly, and Zheng Lang drove the armored vehicle into the first outer city.

The first outer city barbican has also been greatly enlarged due to the large-scale construction in recent years and the increase in the population, as well as the number of vehicles.

The original area of ​​the city wall seemed a bit narrow and could not accommodate more than a hundred vehicles at the same time.

So the wall was widened and rebuilt, and now the city wall is five times larger than its original size.

As soon as he came in, Zheng Lang saw A Guang in front of him waving his hand and signaling him to follow him.

Xiao Jun and his team had a large convoy of vehicles driving back, so they had to be parked neatly.

When Zheng Lang saw A Guang's gesture, he inexplicably felt like he hadn't seen it for a long time.

Familiar taste, familiar gesture.

He followed A Guang's gestures and followed A Guang to the edge of the first city wall.

In addition to A Guang, there are more than a dozen people directing vehicles, responsible for ensuring that they park at the corresponding locations.

After Xiao Jun and his team drove in, Ma Yingxue looked at the city wall and asked, "Is this the city wall?"

"Yes, but this is just one of the urns in the headquarters base. There are four more urns like this in the camphor tree base."

"Oh my God! Four!" Ma Yingxue widened her eyes. The security here was really tight.

When Xiao Jun saw her expression, he felt a little proud.

He liked to see Ma Yingxue's shocked expression, because he was also a member of the Dazhangshu Base, and he had also contributed to the Dazhangshu Base's current status.

So he said softly:

"There are four outer cities, of course there are four urn cities. I haven't been to the fourth outer city yet, so I don't know what it looks like, but it seems to be the largest one."

"I heard that the scenery of the Fourth Outer City is beautiful, and a Taoist temple has been built in the Fourth Outer City. I will take you to see it in a few days."

"There is a Taoist temple? Does your city lord believe in Taoism?" Ma Yingxue was surprised and a little confused.

"Forehead"

Xiao Jun thought about it carefully and felt that the city lord seemed to be because of Qingyang.
"I don't know, but I haven't seen him do that."

"Uh-huh."

The area of ​​the city wall at the Dazhangshu base is quite large and the throughput is sufficient.

It allows Xiao Jun and his team to park all their vehicles in the city wall at once.

In the city wall, in addition to A Guang and a dozen other people who were directing the vehicles, there were dozens of people watching them from the side.

Standing at the front of these people were Song Min and Li Yuan. 3000 tons of oil were to be stored in the warehouse. This matter was quite important for the Dazhangshu base.

When all the vehicles had parked, Xiao Jun took Ma Yingxue out of the car.

The inspection and handover work has officially begun.

Xiao Jun brought Ma Yingxue to Song Min and Li Yuan.
"Manager Song."

"Director Li, this is the manual we prepared for the statistics of this batch of materials before we set out. Please take a look at it."

As expected, Xiao Jun saw Qingyang following Li Yuan.

He had long felt that Li Yuan and Qing Yang had some relationship, and now it seemed that they were officially in a relationship of man and woman.

Li Yuan took the manual from him, nodded, and then said to Ding Weiwei beside him: "Bring the computer over, and weigh and count them one by one."

"Okay." Ding Weiwei nodded and trotted away.

Li Yuan raised his head. His originally round face had turned into an oval face as he grew older, and he had a hint of maturity.

"Captain Xiao, this is my sister-in-law, right?" Li Yuan joked with a smile.

Song Min looked at Ma Yingxue and said, "Xiao Jun, you are so lucky to have found a wife like this."

Facing the two people's jokes, Xiao Jun felt a little embarrassed and pulled Ma Yingxue over:
"Ahem, my wife, Ma Yingxue."

"Xiaoxue, this is Director Li Yuanli, who is in charge of the logistics department of this camphor tree base."

Then he pointed at Song Min, who looked like a strong woman, and said:
"This is the outer city supervisor Song Minsong."

Ma Yingxue was a little surprised. The logistics of a base was extremely important, but she didn't expect that a woman was in charge of all of this.

Moreover, there are four outer cities in the Dazhangshu Base, and the authority of the supervisor of the four outer cities is also very great.

It can be said that these two positions are both at a high level.

She didn't expect that with such a powerful force like the Big Camphor Tree Base, a woman could actually reach such a high position.

"Hello, I'm Ma Yingxue." Ma Yingxue spoke simply and crisply. She was wearing combat uniform and had short hair, exuding a capable aura.

Before being with Xiao Jun, she was also a strong woman in Southern Paradise.

After being with Xiao Jun, she became much more gentle.

People of the same kind will sympathize with each other.

Song Min felt that Ma Yingxue was the same type of person as herself from her dress and speaking style.

It is easier to communicate with similar people.

"Nice to meet you, we can communicate more in the future." A faint smile appeared on Song Min's face.

"Haha, me too."

Li Yuan smiled and said, "We are all in the inner city anyway. I will take you to the movies. There will be a romance movie playing in the theater in a couple of days. Let's go and watch it together."

"There's a good corn harvest recently, so you can use your points to exchange for some popcorn and sparkling water."

"Okay." Ma Yingxue's eyes lit up. She hadn't watched a movie for five or six years.

As for popcorn and sparkling water, she almost forgot what they tasted like.

My goodness, there is a cinema at the Camphor Tree Base! And there are snacks like those before the end of the world.

What a luxury!
Li Yuan didn't realize that it was just a casual invitation and thought it was just an ordinary thing.

But a wave of emotion arose in Ma Yingxue's heart.

Being able to go to the cinema to watch a movie and eat popcorn and iced sparkling water in the end times,
Are the people in the inner city of the Camphor Tree Base so happy?!

She was happy, not just because of the kindness the two men showed her.

More importantly, she felt they could become friends.
Everyone has their own magnetic field. Some people may easily make you feel bored the first time you meet them, but some people make you feel very comfortable the first time you meet them.

Thinking back to her time in South Paradise, she found it difficult to meet someone who suited her taste.

In fact, there are some women, but they exist more as vassals of men, and most of the time they are there to satisfy men's physiological needs.

The presence of a strong woman like her seems a little out of place in South Paradise.

At the camphor tree base, as soon as she entered, she felt an indescribable sense of freedom, tolerance, and friendliness.
