Chapter 1463 This world is so scary! (5600 words)
Big camphor tree base.

inner city.

canteen.

Ju Tianrui looked at the crowd queuing for food. In the queue opposite him, the city lord was also queuing for food.

There is an indescribable feeling.

In front of him were the three people he had just met, Lao Xie, Lao Yi and Lao Lu. He would chat with them from time to time.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

Hearing the voices of Lao Xie and the others, he quickly raised his head and saw Li Yu coming towards him with a rice bowl, and he quickly said:

"City Lord."

"Yeah." Li Yu smiled and nodded at them.

Shortly after the city lord left, it was Ju Tianrui's turn in the queue.

The person who cooks the meal is no small figure either, but Li Yu’s grandmother Liao Chunlan.

Logically speaking, as Li Yu's grandmother and the mother of his second and third uncles, she holds a respected position and does not need to work at all.

What's more, he is nearly seventy years old.

But the elderly cannot sit still. In their words: if they have nothing to do, they tend to think too much. They will feel comfortable only when they move their bodies and have something to do.

The old man has little education and cannot do heavy physical work, but he likes to be with young people, so he comes over to help cook and serve meals at mealtime.

Everyone in the inner city knows her identity and calls her Grandma every time.

Moreover, the meals prepared by Liao Chunlan were different from those prepared by the aunties before the apocalypse whose hands trembled as if they had suffered a stroke. Every spoonful she used was steady.

She fills people's rice bowls with food, and her kind smile always gives people a warm feeling.

What's more, this is the city lord's own grandmother, but she is personally doing the work of serving meals, demonstrating with her own actions that no matter how big or small the matter is, it must be done seriously.

"Hello, grandma." Ju Tianrui greeted Liao Chunlan politely.

"Xiaoju, what do you want to eat?" Liao Chunlan asked with a smile.

"Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stewed beef brisket with potatoes. Hmm, and stir-fried cauliflower." Ju Tianrui looked at the nearly ten dishes in front of him and ordered three at random.

"How can that be? I'll give you another bowl of braised pork. You're too thin. You need to nourish your body." Liao Chunlan said without hesitation. She picked up the big spoon and scooped another spoonful of red braised pork into his rice bowl.

"Ah, this." Ju Tianrui looked at the rice bowls piled up like a mountain and said to Liao Chunlan awkwardly:
"Thank you grandma."

There are regulations in the big camphor tree base that prohibit food waste.

He could get his own rice, but Ju Tianrui had no choice but to get less rice.

Just when Ju Tianrui was about to leave, Liao Chunlan suddenly called him.

"Xiao Ju."

"Ah, what's wrong, grandma?"

"How old are you this year?"

"Thirty-eight."

"not married?"

"Nope."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"nor."

Liao Chunlan said to Ju Tianrui worriedly:
"Then you have to hurry up, it's not easy for men after they turn 40, if you really can't do it, I can introduce you to a few.

I used to be a matchmaker. Don't worry, leave your marriage to me. You know the doctor Meng Yu in our base. She is good and younger than you.
But he is steady and has a stable job. If you have any ideas, I can help you make connections."

"Thank you, grandma. I'm leaving now."

Ju Tianrui fled in panic and quickly ran to Lao Xie's side.

He looked towards the food counter with lingering fear and asked Lao Lu, Lao Xie and the others:

"This grandma, does she always introduce people to potential partners like this?"

Old Lu laughed loudly and said:

"You've just entered the inner city for a short time, and Grandma Liao has already matched several couples. She's the number one matchmaker at the Camphor Tree Base!"

Ju Tianrui shook his head when he heard this, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Before the end of the world, his aunts and uncles urged him to get married, but he didn't expect that he would not be spared after the end of the world.

but
But there is an inexplicable feeling of warmth, and even when people urge me to get married I feel cared for.

Good.

Two hours flew by.

inner city.

Conference room one.

Everyone gathered in the conference room. Many people gathered around the poster with personnel appointments, and the room was noisy.

As Li Yu entered the meeting room, everyone quickly returned to their original seats.

Two minutes later the meeting room fell silent.

Li Yu looked at his watch. It was already 1:58 pm.

So he said to everyone, "Next, we will discuss the third charter of this meeting. I will preside over it."

Having said this, Li Yu paused.

He did not pick up the report written for this meeting on the table. He had an excellent memory and had read it before, so he didn't need to look at it again.

“This is about the base’s planning and suggestions for the next three years. I hope everyone will listen carefully and actively give suggestions.”

Then he looked at Li Yuan behind him.

"Li Yuan, take notes and record the meeting. After the meeting, compile a memorandum of the meeting and print it out for everyone to see."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, City Lord."

"Ah."

Li Yu glanced at the crowd and saw Dapao still standing there in a daze.

So he reminded him directly: "Zhao Dapao, listen carefully."

When Dapao heard the city lord calling him, he quickly sat up straight and pretended to be listening attentively.

Li Yu concentrated and said to everyone:

"Third charter, first topic: the issue of external threats."

"At present, we have three core enemies:"

"1. Natural disaster."

"2. Zombies."

"3. Northwestern forces."

“Point 1. Regarding natural disasters, we have already experienced:
Thunderstorms, typhoons, heavy rains, extreme cold and heat, earthquakes, volcanoes, floods, fog disasters, locust plagues, hail disasters, blizzards, solar magnetic storms, etc., either individually or in combination.

"It is not easy to survive so many disasters. During these disasters, we have also learned many measures to prevent disasters."

"Regarding the possibility of natural disasters, do you have any new suggestions to improve the current defense system?"

There was silence, and everyone seemed to be still absorbing what Li Yu had just said.

Li Yu's pace was very fast and his speech speed was even faster, which was completely different from his second uncle's speaking style. He started the discussion directly without any preparation.

Someone raised his hand, and Li Yu looked and saw that it was Ju Tianrui.

“City Lord, natural disasters continue. If we cannot distinguish the intensity and time of the disasters, it will cause us great losses.

Can we set up a natural disaster research institute to issue early warnings for natural disasters that are about to occur in the future?"

this problem
Li Yu didn't know how to answer him.

Because Li Yu was responsible for the early warning in the past few years, in order to solve the source of the information,
He did ask the meteorological and geological experts in the base to study natural disasters, but natural disasters are impossible to determine and are very sudden.

Later, these meteorological and geological experts were invited to join the research institute to study natural disasters while also studying the impact of natural disasters on zombies.

However, there has never been a special research institute on natural disasters.

Li Yu frowned slightly. It was not that he had never done this before, but it didn't work very well when he tried it before. Could it be that those experts were too useless or fake experts?

but
Ju Tianrui's suggestion is feasible. It has not been studied before. If we set up a research institute and conduct a long period of research, perhaps there will be some results.

It's impossible to rely on Qingyuan all the time.

Or, just let Qingyuan join the Natural Disaster Research Institute.

"What do other people think?" Li Yu asked softly.

"I agree." Lao Bi raised his hand.

"Natural disasters are uncertain, the climate is uncertain, and I am terrified even when flying a helicopter."

"I agree too. If we can determine whether it will rain in the next few days, our transportation team can also adjust the transportation time." Zuo Ruxue raised her hand and said.

More than a dozen people raised their hands one after another.

"Raise your hands to vote, those who agree raise your hands." Li Yu said simply.

brush~
Immediately, nine out of ten people raised their hands.

"54 votes in favor, 6 abstentions, passing the establishment of the Natural Disaster Research Institute." Li Hang stood up and counted the votes.

"it is good."

Li Yu said to Bai Jie:

"The Natural Disaster Research Institute is under the Ministry of Science and Technology and is a department-level unit. Bai Jie, you will take charge of it first. When you find a more suitable person in charge later, you can hand it over to him."

"in addition."

Li Yu looked at Lao Luo, Lao Yi and others and said, "Next, after you return to the North and Oil City, find experts in meteorology, geology and other fields, set up rewards and invite them to join this Natural Disaster Research Institute.

Many of the registration information they wrote before was not true, so we have to offer some rewards to attract them to join.”

"Yes." Lao Luo and Lao Yi quickly stood up and answered.

"Does anyone have any other suggestions for defending against natural disasters?"

Ding Jiu raised his hand. Li Yu nodded, "You go ahead."

Ding Jiu stood up and said:

"City Lord, I think natural disasters have a great impact on buildings such as houses, so a house that can withstand various natural disasters is particularly important."

"The main building material at present is still concrete structure.
But I think in the future we need to research some materials that are waterproof, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, stretchable, and strong. Without these materials, we can't build it, and this requires the support of the Ministry of Science and Technology."

Li Yu raised his eyebrows, feeling that what Ding Jiu said made sense.

"What do you think?"

Many people looked at Kong Shuang, after all, she was in charge of the Chemical Industry Department.

Others are laymen and do not understand the difficulty of researching this material.

"Kong Shuang, you are the person in charge of the Chemical Industry Department, what do you think?" Li Yu saw that everyone was looking at her, so he simply called out her name.

Kong Shuang stood up, "City Lord, Chief Engineer Ding."

Kong Shuang has white hair, but she doesn't look old.

A gentle and intellectual female voice sounded:

"It is not easy to come up with a material that is waterproof, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, stretchable, strong, and perfectly adaptable to natural disasters in all aspects."

"This is a universal material, and there is one material that meets the requirements, and that is graphene."

“It has the characteristics of ultra-thinness, ultra-lightness, ultra-strength, ultra-toughness, ultra-filtration and ultra-light transmittance, which make graphene extremely important in many fields.

In the military field, graphene has been used to develop high-performance military equipment such as light fighters and nuclear weapons.

"It is also very beneficial to use it in construction, such as stable molecular structure, strong hardness, conductivity, electricity, and generating far infrared rays when heated. These advantages can be applied to house building materials."

"But it also has a fatal weakness: the manufacturing cost is relatively high. Moreover, under the current level of technology, graphene is difficult to mass produce."

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard about the benefits of graphene, but they rolled their eyes when they heard that the current level of technology makes mass production impossible.

"but."

Kong Shuang changed the subject and said, "I don't think universal materials are needed for construction."

"It's enough to use materials with different properties in different locations of the building."

"For example, the roof and outer wall only need to be waterproof, cold-resistant and heat-resistant."

.

Kong Shuang said a lot.

Li Yu looked at the time. If they continued chatting like this, the meeting would probably not be finished until the evening.

So he said to Kong Shuang: "Okay, let's do this."

"Have a private meeting with Ding Jiu later and discuss this matter in detail."

"Bai Jie, please follow up." Li Yu said to Bai Jie in front of him.

"Yes."

"Next, do you have any suggestions for natural disasters?" Li Yu asked.

Someone later made the following suggestion:

"I think we can set up a natural disaster rescue team. When a natural disaster strikes, the rescue team can take over."

"I suggest that we conduct daily drills to prevent natural disasters, so that when natural disasters occur, everyone can be prepared."

"I propose to strengthen the awareness of the base residents about natural disasters and conduct publicity and education."

There were seven or eight suggestions scattered here and there, which were discussed one by one, then voted on, memorandumed, and handed over to the relevant person in charge. After the meeting, the suggestions were improved and an implementation plan was formulated that could be implemented.

Li Yu glanced at his watch. It was already three o'clock. They had been chatting for an hour.

This concludes the first topic: the first point about external threats, which is about natural disasters.

Oh shit.

I feel like if this continues, the meeting will probably last until midnight.

"Okay, do you have any suggestions for natural disasters?"

This lasted for thirty seconds, and no one raised their hand again.

So Li Yu said: "Okay, the first point of the first agenda, the issue of natural disasters, is over."

"Let's discuss the second point of the first topic, the zombie issue."

"Bai Jie, please report to everyone the current situation and characteristics of all the common zombies and mutant zombies found, as well as your judgment of the future trends."

In fact, it is inevitable that such meetings take a long time.

Normally we can’t get together, and a lot of information can’t be exchanged, which is actually not good.

It is not easy for us to gather together this time, so we must reach a common information, unify our thoughts, and have everyone understand the current situation so that we can advance the plan later.

Otherwise, the senior management will have information asymmetry and will not understand the seriousness and comprehensiveness of the situation.
They definitely cannot understand what Li Yu and Second Uncle are thinking, and they will definitely be slack when executing their plans. If even the top executives are like this, what about the people below them?

This is a rare center meeting, so we must tell everyone some things and discuss them in depth.

Bai Jie stood up holding a blue notebook.

“I believe everyone knows about ordinary zombies.

The walking speed under the sun is twice as slow as that in the dark, and it increases by more than 1.5 times during heavy rain, and as the heavy rain continues, the agility reaches three times as high.
Killing method: Stab in the head. "

"As for mutant zombies, these six main types have been discovered so far."

When everyone heard Bai Jie say this, they immediately perked up.

Although the base had informed them of some mutant zombies they had discovered, and they also encountered some mutant zombies on a regular basis, they did not have a comprehensive understanding of these zombies.

What's more, this is the latest research information from the director of the Zombie Research Department, which specializes in studying zombies.

Very precious!

This will allow them to better understand the characteristics and weaknesses of zombies when they encounter them in the future, making it easier to deal with them.

Bai Jie only spoke slowly, the mole at the corner of her mouth trembling with a hint of charm.

“ 1. Wall-climbing zombies:
Features: Hard skull, bone spurs on chest, extremely flexible, can climb walls

Weakness: Afraid of ultraviolet rays, unable to appear during the day.

Suggestion: Piercing the head will kill the zombie, but this zombie is too agile and it is not easy to hit the head. Head-on resistance is not recommended. It is best to use ultraviolet light to drive it away.

Zombie virus equivalent in the body: 10 times that of ordinary zombies.

Odds of encountering: Low, but trending upward. ”

“2. Agile zombies:

Features: extremely fast running speed
Weaknesses: tall, small, weak
Suggestion: If you pierce the head, you will die. It is best to fight on high ground, not in an open area.

Zombie virus equivalent in the body: 2 times.

Odds of encountering: High. "

"3. Power zombies
Features: Great strength, tall stature
Weakness: Slow movement speed

Zombie virus equivalent in the body: 3 times

Suggestion: Piercing the head will kill you, so it is not suitable for direct confrontation. If you have a gun, just shoot directly, and if you use a spear, stab upwards
Odds of encountering: High. "

“ 4. High-jumping zombies
Features: Amazing jumping ability, very long legs
Weakness: Underdeveloped upper limbs

Zombie virus equivalent in the body: 3 times

Suggestion: When you encounter it, cut off its legs first to prevent it from jumping.

Odds of encountering: High. "

“5. Nuclear radiation zombies
Features: emits green light, cannot be approached at close range, carries radiation

Weaknesses: None found.

Zombie virus equivalent in the body: unknown

Suggestion: If you encounter one, just run away as far as you can.

Odds of encountering: Very low, very low, rarely found nowadays. "

“6. Undead Zombies

Features: Strong, agile, survives even if head is chopped off
Weaknesses: None found.

Zombie virus equivalent in the body: 5 times that of ordinary zombies

Suggestion: If you are alone, just run away, as far as you can. If you are in a group, it is not necessary to run away directly. If you cannot avoid it, it is recommended to cover and kill it with firepower.
Chance of encounter: Very low. "

After saying this, Bai Jie closed her notebook.

He continued to speak to the crowd:

"Overall, I suggest that you avoid the three types of zombies you encounter in the wild: wall-climbing zombies, undead zombies, and nuclear radiation zombies if you can."

"Moreover, according to our research institute's recent findings, with every natural disaster involving heavy rain, the amount of zombie virus in the bodies of these mutant zombies is increasing. Correspondingly, their strength is also increasing!"

One word can cause a thousand waves.

Everyone gasped and looked at Bai Jie in shock.

Because the news was too shocking, Li Yu had been holding back from letting Bai Jie tell anyone else, for fear of causing panic.

But now is the time to make everyone aware of this and realize how serious the current situation is.

The pressure is too great, let you bear it as well.

Bai Jie ignored everyone's shock and continued:

"These mutant zombies are strengthened in two main ways. One is that they devour the corpses of zombies of the same kind to obtain the zombie virus. The other is the natural disaster of heavy rain that I just mentioned. The heavy rain has a bonus on these mutant zombies."

"That is to say, these mutant zombies will become stronger every time they experience a rainstorm, but the speed of strengthening is very slow. However, after these mutant zombies devour their own kind during a rainstorm, the speed of strengthening will become extremely fast. It's a bit like a burning flame is suddenly poured with a basin of gasoline."

"So, if you encounter zombies, or even mutant zombies, I hope that if you have the chance, you can kill as many as you can. Because this means that there is less fuel to make the zombies stronger."

Bai Jie's words echoed in the conference room.

Li Yu, Second Uncle, Third Uncle and other senior executives knew about this matter a long time ago. They were not surprised to hear Bai Jie say this.

But for people in the non-combat camp such as Ding Jiu, Lai Xiyue, Li Yuan, and Lao Dong, their daily energy is focused on their own affairs, and they hear about many types of mutant zombies for the first time.

This undoubtedly stirred up a huge storm in their minds.

This world is so scary!
