Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

The more the merrier,
There is strength in numbers.

Li Yu walked on the wall of Oil City, overlooking the trading market and the buffer city in the distance.

The construction site was crowded with people everywhere.

The scene of tens of thousands of workers building together is extremely shocking.

But it also means that a lot of food is consumed every day.

After successfully harvesting grain in the northern grain-growing area and the buffer city of the large camphor tree base.

After thousands of tons of grain reserves were accumulated in the Oil City, Uncle San also dared to recruit workers vigorously and devoted all his efforts to the construction of the trading market and the buffer city.

This is the productivity that emerges after having massive amounts of food.

Today, the three places of Dazhangshu have formed a positive cycle after years of accumulation.

The larger the planting area, the more food produced, and the more people that can be fed. Greater productivity can be brought into play, and larger areas can be built to grow food and feed more people.

Move forward step by step.

The buffer city wall has only been under construction for ten days, but the foundation on the east side has been completed, and the foundation of the wall on the south side has actually begun to be built.

The construction speed is more than ten times faster than the buffer city at the Dazhangshu headquarters.

I remember that the buffer city at the Dazhangshu headquarters base lasted for nearly a year on and off.

This is not only due to the shortage of manpower, but also affected by natural disasters and was shelved for a long time.

Buffer city wall construction site.

A scene of construction in full swing.

Tens of thousands of people are busy here, and the sky is full of dust.

Wu Xing sat on the roof of the car, looking at the huge construction site, and said to Zhang Tianfu next to him with emotion:
"Lao Zhang, our Oil City is really generous. It's the first time I've seen such a grand event in the apocalypse."

Zhang Tianfu pushed the magazine in his hand back into the gun and waved away the white smoke that was blowing over.

"It's not an easy task to feed so many people."

"A few days ago, a transport team delivered thousands of tons of food. This is the most amazing thing!"

Hearing the word "food", Wu Xing sighed:
"Yes, if we had enough food in South Paradise, we wouldn't have to integrate into Oil City."

"It is truly remarkable that Oil City can produce so much food in the end times."

Zhang Tianfu smiled and said:
"But, after integrating into Oil City, life has become much better, hasn't it?"

"Of course!"

Wu Xing nodded heavily and said:
"City Lord Li is also a man of affection and righteousness. After taking over our Southern Paradise, he did not discriminate against us and treated us as Level 3 personnel very well."

"At least I have food and drink, and I don't have to go hungry anymore."

Zhang Tianfu looked towards the south and said with deep emotion:
"This should be the treatment that Master Tiger fought for for us. I wonder how he is doing now."

"If you have a chance, go see him."

When Wu Xing heard Zhang Tianfu mention Tiger Lord, he felt a little heavy.

"How is Tiger Lord's health these days?"

A few months ago, Tiger's personal doctor had declared that Tiger would not live more than two months.

But after going to the sanatorium at the Dazhangshu headquarters base, he is still alive.

Zhang Tianfu replied:

"I heard from the Minister that Tiger no longer has to lie in bed and can walk. His health is pretty good."

"Tsk."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianfu couldn't help but sigh.

"This headquarters base is really strong. Not only can it produce so much food, but the medical level is also so strong. If I have the chance, I really want to go to the headquarters base to take a look."

Hearing him say this, Wu Xing also began to look forward to the headquarters base.

According to Zhang Rufeng who has been to the headquarters base,

Although the headquarters base is quieter, it is more like a paradise.

sizzle-

Just at this moment, a voice came from Wu Xing's walkie-talkie.

"Captain Wu, there are about ten zombies coming over from Jigong Mountain. I don't know where they came from."

Wu Xing quickly replied: "Just kill it. Why are you asking me about this?"

After saying that, he thought for a moment, picked up the intercom and continued:
"Wait, I'm coming."

He quickly put the intercom back into his chest and said to Zhang Tianfu:
"I'll go over there. There should be someone guarding the main road over there. I don't know where these zombies came from. I have to go over there myself."

"Okay, I'll take care of the construction site." Zhang Tianfu nodded.

Wu Xing jumped out of the car, walked to a pickup truck opposite, took a few people and drove towards Jigong Mountain.

The buffer city is very large, much larger than the buffer city at the Dazhangshu headquarters base.

Therefore, the length of the wall needs to be much longer.

Although it is daytime now, due to the accumulation of clouds, guards are needed outside to protect the construction workers.

To prevent zombies from breaking into the construction site and affecting the normal construction of the project.

Wu Xing and Zhang Tianfu both belong to the militia battalion and are captains of the 12th and 13th battalions.

Each of them led two hundred militiamen to patrol around the buffer city construction site to ensure its safety.

Wu Xing hurriedly drove the car to the eastern fork.

There are ten militiamen at the fork in the road, guarding the main road.

Avoid zombies coming from the main road.

Several trucks transporting materials passed by, and Wu Xing parked his car on the curb.

He waved away the dust in front of his eyes, covered his mouth and nose, and walked over.

Due to the recent large-scale construction, many transport trucks are loaded with construction materials, such as mud, sand and gravel. When passing by, it is inevitable that sand and gravel will fall due to the vibration of the vehicles.

In addition, it hasn't rained for several months, and the air is extremely dry.

This resulted in a cloud of dust being kicked up by several cars passing by.

In the dust, Wu Xing walked up to his men stationed here.

"Brother Xing, these zombies appeared from the main road, but at the checkpoint ahead, they all said they didn't see any zombies. It's very likely that the zombies ran out of the mountain." The subordinate said quickly.

Wu Xing glanced at him and said, "Zombies aren't that smart. How can they avoid people? You are kidding me."

He squatted down and carefully examined the zombies. The surfaces of these zombies were a little wet, as if they had just crawled out of the water.

Wu Xing noticed this keenly.

water?
The ditches around the trading market have long since dried up.

But these zombies looked like they had just walked out of the water.

"A-Dai, where is the water nearby?"

His subordinate Ah Dai smiled and replied:
"Water, how can there be water nearby? It hasn't rained for five or six months. Where does the water come from?"

As he was speaking, he suddenly looked towards the distance on the road.

After reacting, he said:
"There is water. There is a canal ahead that transports water from Nanwan Lake to Oil City. There happens to be a wellhead over there."

The canal from Nanwan Lake to the trading market is 10 kilometers long, two meters long and wide, and is buried underground.

In order to avoid blockage of mud, sand and garbage in the ditch when transporting water, there is a wellhead every few hundred meters.

The lower wellhead can be lowered from the ground into the ditch.

After turning off the water diversion switch, you can clean the garbage inside.

That place is the only place with water around.

When Wu Xing heard what Ah Dai said, his eyes narrowed.

You know, it hasn’t rained for nearly half a year, and the water in Nanwan Lake is life-saving water.

That is the lifeline of the oil city and the trading market. It is a place that cannot afford to go wrong.

He stood up immediately and said, "Come on, take me there!"

Ah Dai also realized the seriousness of the problem. He ran quickly with his gun in hand, and hurried down to the wellhead.

Soon, they ran to the corner of the road a hundred meters away.

Ah Dai pointed to a protruding cement pile on the east side and said, "That's the entrance to the well."

The ditch was originally built along the road, so the lower well mouth was naturally not far from the main road.

Wu Xing quickly jumped down from the main road and walked to the bottom of the well.

When he walked to the manhole, he saw the open manhole entrance, the pushed-open manhole cover and the opened iron lock.

My eyebrows were twitching.

"Fuck it, which bastard opened the manhole?"

This type of wellhead will only be opened when the ditch is blocked.

But now this wellhead has been opened and has not been covered yet.

Ah Dai looked at the lake water flowing in the well below and said:

"Brother Xing, do you think it was the survivors who opened the cover?"

Wu Xing walked over and lifted the cover; it was extremely heavy.

It weighs at least three or four hundred kilograms, and it is impossible for one or two people to lift it.

The lock was opened and the chain was not cut.

The lock was still in good condition, which meant that the person who opened it either had the key or was an expert in lock picking.

Wu Xing thought for a moment and said:

"We need to confirm whether the maintenance personnel forgot to close the wellhead, or whether another survivor opened it on purpose. I need to ask the maintenance supervisor Zhong Jiuling to confirm this."

"Brother Xing, look!"

At this moment, Ah Dai pointed to the bottom of the well.

Wu Xing looked down and saw several zombies floating in the lake below, grabbing the handrails on the wall of the well and climbing up.

After being soaked in water for a long time, the zombies' bodies will become very flexible.

Therefore, during a rainstorm disaster, ordinary zombies can stack up after being drenched in the rain and their limbs become flexible.

These zombies at the bottom of the well have been soaked in water for a long time, so their limbs can remain relatively flexible, allowing them to climb out of the well.

Oh shit!

After seeing this scene, Wu Xing determined where the zombie that had just run to the fork in the road came from. It crawled out from under the fucking well.

Logically speaking, as long as the cover is not opened, no zombies will appear in the ditch.

Although there are many zombies in Nanwan Lake, three layers of nets have been set up at the water intake.

Creatures as big as zombies cannot pass through the three layers of nets.

Unless the blocking net and barrier are broken.

How could a steel pole be broken?
In addition, there are railings on both sides of each manhole to block larger garbage.

There are more than twenty well openings and dozens of nets.

If the zombies in the lake want to reach this side, they have to break through dozens of blocks. How is that possible?

These nets are made of rebar that is four centimeters thick. Zombies have no intelligence, so how could they possibly turn on the switch and break through layer by layer to get here?

Wu Xing watched the zombies climbing up from the bottom of the well and did not stop them.

He glanced at Ah Dai and said, "Wait for them to climb up and clean them up."

"Yes." A-Dai's men nodded quickly.

And retreat and disperse to the sides.

Wu Xing climbed up to the intersection and looked at the zombies climbing out of the wellhead and thought.

First of all, where did the zombies in the well come from? It is absolutely impossible that they came from Nanwan Lake.

Considering that the manhole cover has been removed, there is only one possibility.

That is when the zombies smell the human presence and rush towards the Oil City. The trading market has a large population, and there are zombies coming outside the wall every day at night.

Then these zombies like water, so they may hide in the well when daytime comes.

Maybe because of the recent construction of the wall, there was a lot of noise from vehicles and people passing by.

So the ordinary zombies hiding below were attracted and crawled up during the day.

The more Wu Xing thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was the truth.

At this moment, puff, puff—

The A-dai guys below killed these ordinary zombies in a few moves.

They deliberately lured the zombies to a place farther away from the wellhead and killed them to prevent their bodies from falling into the well.

Although the water they use now is all drawn from Nanwan Lake.

But once the body falls, it still needs to be fished out later.

No matter how hard we try, the zombies in Nanwan Lake can never be completely cleared out. Even if we clear them today, there will still be zombies running into the lake tomorrow.

Nanwan Lake is 75 square kilometers in area, which is extremely large and cannot be defended no matter what.

It was inevitable that they used water that had been soaked in zombies.

However, after the water arrives at the trading market water plant, it must undergo layer-by-layer filtration and disinfection before it can be used.

That's why the water plant was built in the trading market.

Avoid contamination of filtered and disinfected water during transportation

Wu Xing was so absorbed in thinking about it that he squinted his eyes and realized that this was a very big matter.

"Brother Xing, what should we do next?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Xing was about to take out the walkie-talkie to contact the maintenance worker Zhong Jiuling, but he stopped again.

"Let's go find Director Ju. I want to report the situation to him in person!" Wu Xing said solemnly.

Water is an extremely precious resource nowadays when there is no rain for half a year.

But now there are zombies hiding in the ditch!

So close to the main road, right next to it.

The hidden dangers are huge!

We must make a big deal about this matter so that the people above us will take it seriously.

Hurrying to the car, Ah Dai asked breathlessly:
"Brother Xing, didn't you say to contact Zhong Jiuling and ask him to come over?"

Wu Xing shook his head and said, "No, the cover was opened just like that. Whether it was an ordinary survivor who wanted to save a few points, or the maintenance personnel forgot to close the cover."

"But the wellhead is too easy to open now. We need to report this to the higher-ups so they can pay attention to this matter."

As Ah Dai started the car, he was shocked when he heard Wu Xing say that the survivors wanted to save points and didn't want to go to the trading market to buy water.

"No, Brother Xing, the water in the trading market is so cheap, and it is filtered and disinfected clean water. Is it worth it just to save a few points?"

"Who knows? There is no surveillance installed at the wellhead. Drive quickly." Wu Xing urged.

"and many more."

Wu Xing suddenly stopped and said to Liu Keming outside the car window:
“Keming, the rest of you don’t have to wait at the fork in the road. Go to the wellhead. Who knows if there are any zombies in there, but if one comes up, kill it!”

"Got it." Liu Keming nodded.

Wu Xing looked at Ah Dai and said, "Drive."

Boom boom boom——

The pickup truck rumbled toward the trading bazaar.
