Chapter 1528 Two Taels of Meat

It takes less than two hours to get from the Takechi Military Base to the Dazhangshu Base by helicopter.

It's already mid-September, but the weather is still hot and there's no autumn feel at all.

Li Yu looked down at the ground from a high altitude and saw the familiar mountains below.

So he picked up the intercom and informed the driver He Ma: "Xiao He, don't go back to the headquarters base later, go to the 30 sentry points that have been built."

He Ma heard the voice on the intercom and pressed the headset, "City Lord, I don't know where it is distributed?"

Li Yu thought about it and took out a map of Gan Province from the luggage bag under his feet.

After unfolding it, he handed it to Li Tie who was sitting next to him.

"Tiezi, go to the passenger seat and show him the way."

Li Tie stood up without saying a word, holding the map, grabbed the handrail in the helicopter cabin, and walked towards the co-pilot step by step.

The pilot sitting in the co-pilot seat obediently gave up his seat to let Li Tie sit down.

Li Tie sat in the co-pilot seat and spread out the map in his hand.

There were dozens of marks drawn on the map.

Some marks are drawn as a triangle, some are squares, or pentagons.

After all, Li Tie is a senior executive of the Dazhangshu Base and he is always with Li Yu. He is very familiar with the markings on this map.

The triangles are the latest outposts, the squares are the five satellite cities, and the pentagons are some mines that have been building fixed garrisons in the past month.

They have now arrived in Gan City, flying along National Highway 319.

Li Tie looked at the ground and roughly identified their current location. He compared the sentinel distribution map on the map and said to He Ma:
"Go to Ning County first, then turn around and head southwest."

"Yes." He Ma adjusted the helicopter according to Li Tie's instructions.

On the way there, Li Yu asked the other helicopters to return to the headquarters base first, leaving only two helicopters to escort the helicopter he was riding on.

From the air, they could occasionally see trucks passing by on the roads on the ground, all loaded with various construction materials.

soon.

They arrived at the location of the first checkpoint, which was located north of the intersection of S208 and G236 roads.

The "S" and "G" on the roads represent provincial roads and national highways respectively.

When they first planned to build these thirty outposts, they had already considered that the first choice location for the outposts would always be the intersection of provincial or national highways.

Then there are some other considerations, such as the location must be more than 10 kilometers away from the city center.

Otherwise, at night, there will be many zombies surrounding the outpost.

The outpost they chose in Ning County was Point No. 4, overlooking from a high altitude.

The sentry post below is based on a row of two-story houses. The windows of the houses are welded with solid steel bars, and a door welded with solid iron plates is installed on the roof.

At this time, the roof was open, and there were two people on the roof looking at them with binoculars.

There were tires lined up on both sides of the road downstairs.

On the roadside of this row of buildings, there are a dozen electric trucks parked, loaded with sand and gravel.

"City Lord, do you want to go down and take a look? The intersection below is big enough for us to stop the helicopter." Li Tie asked.

"Let's go down and take a look." Li Yu replied.

The helicopter slowly descended.

Outpost No. 4.

After Zuo Ronggan saw the helicopters in the sky with a telescope, his sharp eyes spotted the mark of a big tree sprayed on the helicopter.

They knew instantly that this was their own helicopter.

"Someone's coming from the headquarters base. Hurry up and line up to go downstairs to greet them. Quick, quick, quick!"

Zuo Ronggan shouted to the people below.

While running downstairs.

Soon, more than thirty people ran out from this row of houses.

When Li Yu and his group came down from the helicopter, they had already lined up in two rows.

Yo ho!

Li Yu raised his eyebrows as he looked at their speed. They were quite fast.

Walked straight over.

Zuo Ronggan looked at Li Yu who was walking towards him and was shocked.

"Oh my god, it's the city lord who is here!" Zuo Ronggan said in his heart.

He originally thought it was a routine patrol. He was just wondering if it was a routine patrol. There should be two fixed helicopters flying in the air, and they would basically not land. "

What he didn't expect was that it was the city lord, the highest leader of the entire camphor tree base, who came in person.

"Brother Zuo, who is that? Why is he so pretentious?" asked a person behind Zuo Ronggan.

Before Zuo Ronggan could answer him, he was hit on the head by the old bear.

"Erdou, that's the city lord of our camphor tree base. How long have you been in the camphor tree base? How come you don't know the city lord? This is weird. You are such a weirdo! You don't even know our city lord."

Erdou heard this, touched his aching head, and looked at his companions with complaints, "I have never had the chance to see the city lord. When the city lord came to the fourth outer city, I wanted to go see him, but that bastard Lao Si stopped me. It's been like this for several times."

"Shut up." Zuo Rong glared at the people behind him.

He looked at Li Yu coming over, his expression tensed, and he shouted to Li Yu in front of him:
"Welcome, Lord."

"Welcome, City Lord." This voice was shouted by the subordinates behind him.

Among these people, ten of them were armed with guns and wearing gray combat uniforms made at the Camphor Tree Base.

Among these ten people, nine are non-staff members, and one is from outside the city, who is responsible for leading the team.

Previously, due to the pressure from the northwest, the management of guns was relaxed a bit, and guns were delegated to the level of non-staff personnel who were out on missions.

There are thirty sentry posts, and each of them has 10 armed personnel stationed at each post.

Li Yu looked at a sign hanging on the second-floor building next to him, "Xiaoning Tire Shop."

There are several small buildings in a row next to it, namely "Dingfeng Auto Repair" and "Hao Zai Lai Farmer's Restaurant".
These small buildings are all two-story buildings, and each building is close to each other with no aisle gaps in between.

The windows of the houses in this row are welded shut with steel bars. There is a prison-style barred door on the first floor, and there seems to be an iron door behind the barred door.

All of this was just what Li Yu observed after a few casual glances.

"Zuo Ronggan, right?" Li Yu walked over and asked with a smile.

"Yes, the city lord actually still remembers me."

Li Yu patted his shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course I remember. I remember you were there when I killed Wusheng Mother."

Zuo Ronggan is a veteran who used to work with Lao Qin in the lathe factory, and has always been with Ah Hong in carrying out missions.

However, in order to set up the sentry post, thirty people from the outer city were needed to manage it, so thirty suitable people were found in the combat personnel brigade. Zuo Ronggan was one of them.

Zuo Ronggan had heard before that the city lord had an excellent memory, and this time he really learned something new.

I didn't expect that after so many years, the city lord still remembered the matter of the Mother Wusheng.

He was so excited that he was speechless.

"Are those the partners who are transporting construction materials?" Li Yu asked Zuo Ronggan as he looked at the dozen people standing in a row opposite him and looking at him.

Zuo Ronggan nodded vigorously and replied, "Yes, the No. 4 station here was just renovated five days ago. We originally wanted to use containers to rebuild it, but Liugong said it was unnecessary. We simply adapted to the local conditions and renovated this row of buildings."

"These cooperating personnel who transported the materials happened to go to a sand and gravel factory in the north to load sand and gravel this morning. It's almost noon now, so they might as well rest here and return to the base in the afternoon."

After listening to this, Li Yu walked towards the group of people standing opposite Zuo Ronggan.

"What's your name?" Li Yu walked to the opposite side and asked a man in a black short-sleeved shirt.

The Dazhangshu base includes thousands of partners. Although Li Yu has a good memory, there are too many partners. Many people know him, but he does not know most of them.

The main reason is that the name doesn't match the appearance.

"City Lord, my name is Liu Qian'an."

Li Yu nodded slightly. "How many trips can you make in a day with this kind of transportation?"

The middle-aged man who looked honest replied, "For long-distance transport, we can do one trip a day. For transport missions near our base, we can do two trips a day. The main reason is that loading and unloading takes time, otherwise we can do three trips a day."

"How many points can you earn in a day?" Li Yu continued to ask.

Since the first central meeting of the Dazhangshu Base, it was decided to promote the monetary points system in the Dazhangshu Base. All cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel rely on points to purchase food and various goods.

However, the Dazhangshu Base is different from the Oil City.

There are shops built by various survivors in the trading market, as well as official shops.

But in the big camphor tree base, only the official one is operated.

All purchases and sales are completed in the official self-operated store.

It is somewhat similar to the planned economic system before the end of the world and before the reform and opening up.

Taking into account the particularity of the Dazhangshu base as the headquarters base, everything is based on stability, so for the time being we have not learned from the oil city's trading market to implement the market economy system.

The trading bazaar is actually the bridgehead of the experiment. Once it develops to a certain stage and the trading bazaar has been proven successful, the Dazhangshu base will gradually implement and form an open market economic system.

How many points can I earn?
Liu Qian looked at the others around him and replied:

"I mainly do long-distance transportation, which gives me 1.5 points a day."

"Is food included?" Li Yu asked.

"Meals are not included." Liu Qian'an shook his head.

"Is it enough?"

Speaking of this, Liu Qian nodded and said with a smile:

"Since the reform of the points system, our lives have become much better. 1.5 points can be exchanged for more than 5 tortillas. My wife's job in the greenhouse in the buffer city is easier, applying fertilizer and digging soil, but she also gets 1 point a day. After deducting the cost of food, there are still 1.5 points left every day."

"It's much more comfortable now than before the thunderstorm. I wish it would always be like this."

He said a lot and Li Yu listened carefully.

I couldn't help but think of some of the things I learned during this trip to Oil City.

Working at the construction site at the trading market, a laborer only earns 0.4 points a day, and with meals included, it's only about 0.9 points.

But at the Dazhangshu base, even if you are a laborer working on the construction site, you will get at least 1 point. If you are a rebar worker, who does physically demanding work, you can get 1.3 points.

In general, the points given to cooperative personnel by the Dazhangshu Base are generally higher than those in the trading market.

Some jobs even pay much more.

Things like transportation, transporting construction materials to the trading market, plus two tortillas for food, only earn 1.1 points a day, but at the big camphor tree base it can reach 1.5 points.

A full one-third higher.

The root cause is

Or it is because the human resources in the Dazhangshu base are more scarce than those in the oil city.
There are about 60,000 survivors at the trading market, but there are only a few thousand people at the headquarters base, and many of them are combatants and housekeeping personnel.

The current large camphor tree base has gradually begun to absorb survivors.

But it is far less well-known than the trading market. It has been two months since the thunderstorm disaster, and there are less than 500 survivors.

The total population of the Dazhangshu base has now reached 7600, less than .

But there is no other way. The camphor tree base cannot be completely open like a trading market, where survivors can come and go freely and accommodate survivors from all over the place.
This is absolutely not possible, at least not now.

This is Li Yu’s old nest, and we must try our best to eliminate factors that may cause unrest.

Maybe he will let go only when things develop to a certain stage.

Also.

The scale of the headquarters base is many times larger than the trading market.

The construction of the buffer city wall covering an area of ​​2 acres, the establishment of acres of greenhouses inside, as well as fertilization and maintenance, etc., is definitely not enough for Anya and her team alone.

The area of ​​666666.67 mu of land is 7140 square meters, while the area of ​​a standard football field is 933 square meters. mu of land contains approximately football fields.

The greenhouse is nearly the size of a thousand football fields. Even though it uses intelligent temperature control and drip irrigation, it still requires people to operate it.

Moreover, until now the greenhouses in the buffer city have not been completely built.

The construction started after a thunderstorm, and was stopped for three months. Now, two months have passed, and it is still not completed. This is enough to show how huge the project is.

In addition, the greenhouses in the buffer city were not put into use until they were fully built, which would have been a waste of time.

Instead, they built ten and then started to cultivate seedlings and plant them.

The first batch planted now will be harvested in three months, and from then on, there will be a harvest almost every week.

Including the current large camphor tree base, not all of them are planted and harvested together.

Instead, plant them at different times to ensure a harvest every month.

This can spread the risk and also allow the land to rest and recover properly by leaving it fallow.

"I joined the camphor tree base at the beginning of this year. It was so hard to get here. My wife and I were just lucky."

"When you are hungry, drink water and chew on tree bark, but don't dare to eat those weird fruits on the mountain. My wife and I don't know them. If you eat them, it's fine, but if you eat the wrong ones, it will be a disaster.

One of our companions ate some kind of wild vegetable that he didn’t recognize. I don’t know if it can be considered a wild vegetable. He had diarrhea and kept having diarrhea until he passed out. There was nothing we could do and we couldn’t save him.”

"Life is better now. I can save points every day. I haven't eaten meat in several years. Yesterday, I slaughtered a wild boar at the Buffer City Market. I was extravagant! I gritted my teeth and spent 2 points to buy two taels of meat. Although two taels of meat is not much and it will be gone after a few bites, at least I got to taste the meat."

Li Yu listened quietly to Liu Qian'an talking about their current life and work, and gained a general understanding of the current status of the partners at the Dazhangshu base.

As Liu Qian'an spoke, he gradually relaxed and talked more and more. Li Yu did not interrupt him and listened to him patiently.
