Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Big camphor tree base.

The fourth outer city.

This outer city is the largest of the four outer cities in the Dazhangshu base.

Half of the area is used to build greenhouses, and there is also a spacious training ground.

In addition, during this six months, some underground oil depots were built specifically for storing oil.

There are many factories in the Dazhangshu base, and oil is needed in many fields.

Song Min, Li Yuan, Guifei, Wang Chunqi and others came here with a transport truck.

Tank trucks pump oil out of tanks and transfer it to underground oil depots.

Except for these dozen or so tank trucks, all other oil is shipped in barrels.

They were going to pour out every barrel of oil.

Because these oil drums are limited in number, they have to be used repeatedly.

Nets were set up near the underground oil depot, and preventive measures such as the use of fireworks were prohibited.

The underground oil depot in the fourth outer city stores more than 30,000 tons of oil, which is the place with the largest oil storage in the entire Dazhangshu base.

Every time oil is extracted, approval is required and inspection is required before entry.

The first outer city.

After meeting with Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu, Li Yu entered the administrative building to find his second uncle.

"Uncle, from now on, the buffer city gate of the Camphor Tree Base will be completely closed, no one can go in or out!"

Second Uncle also knew that Zuo Ruxue and the others had just returned, so he nodded and said:

"Well, I've already told Yu Lei in advance that the buffer city gate is closed and locked, and no one is allowed to enter from behind."

Li Yu let out a long sigh, "Okay, then let's wait for this blizzard to come and see when it comes..."

Up to now, all the people who were out on missions at the Dazhangshu base headquarters have returned.

The people from the North have been guarding the base and have not left. Even if survivors from the surrounding areas come over, the North will not accept them. Instead, they will give them an address and ask them to go to the Oil City to look for opportunities.

The oil city developed rapidly, but also bore the greatest pressure.

The North is positioned as a grain production area. There are relatively few troops stationed there, so in order to minimize the pressure of management, no outside population is accepted.

Although there are new survivors joining the headquarters base, it has not been widely publicized like Oil City, so the number of survivors flowing in every day is even smaller.

The Oil City is still building a buffer city wall. The buffer city wall has already sealed three gates, and now only the last gate is left.

In addition, there are several staff members stationed at lake reservoirs to draw water and they have not been withdrawn yet.

However, the distance between the water source and the oil city is only ten kilometers, and it only takes more than ten minutes to drive back.

At present, the water used in the trading market and the oil city is mainly transported from the lake.

Although the temperature has now reached near zero degrees, water can still be transported normally.

Instead of using the above-ground ditch transportation method, they dug underground ditches and covered them with cement and various insulation materials.

One of the reasons is to prevent low-temperature freezing, which would cause the running water to freeze and be unable to be transported to the trading market.

The construction method of underground pipelines is much more complicated than the construction method of above-ground ditches.

To build an above-ground water channel, you only need to dig up the ground and build a link between the trading market and the Nanhuwan Reservoir.

However, underground pipes still need to be laid with cement, bricks need to be used to fix the soil on both sides to prevent water from seeping in, insulation materials need to be laid, and the roof needs to be sealed, which is a rather cumbersome process.

When taking water from the source, they also try to bring in water from deep lakes.

The water in the deep lake is relatively warm and not easy to freeze.

However, this has its limitations.

Once the temperature drops to dozens of degrees below zero, no amount of insulation will help and the canals will inevitably freeze.

Even the lake was frozen and the water couldn't flow out, so there was naturally no water in the ditches.

But by that time, the heavy snow will naturally become water for the trading market.

But the snow water cannot be used directly, it needs to be heated, so the boiler factory is used to help heat the snow water.

Moreover, what flows in the heating pipes itself is hot water. The working principle of the heating pipes is to use the heat energy generated by the boiler to heat the heat medium flowing through the pipes, usually heat), and then transport it to the indoor radiator through the pipes, such as the radiator. After the radiator dissipates heat, it heats the indoor air, thereby achieving the indoor heating effect.

However, the hot water in the heating pipes cannot be used as domestic water. Chemicals are added to the water to prevent corrosion of pipes and valves, which is harmful to the human body.

Therefore, domestic water is connected to other pipelines.

Oil City.

Uncle San and Lao Luo walked side by side on the wall of the Oil City, looking at the wall of the trading market in the distance.

Lao Luo asked:
"Minister, when are we going to seal off the buffer city?"

Uncle San took a long time to answer:
"Let's wait a little longer. Many survivors came in today. Dazhangshu has developed to this point and needs to plan for the future. We should do our best to keep as many people alive as possible."

"But."

After hesitating for a moment, Lao Luo said with some concern:
"But now the population of the trading market has exceeded 23. If this continues, I'm worried that there won't be enough food."

Uncle San's eyes gradually became firm, and he turned his head to Lao Luo and asked:

"Do you know why the trading market has been able to develop so quickly and attract so many people in such a short period of time?"

After thinking for a moment, Old Ross said:
"Because we adopted the mission hall system and the points system to attract the survivors, and gave them a way to earn points and buy food, so that they could survive."

“In addition, these human resources helped us build a trading bazaar.”

The third uncle nodded and said:

"This is just one of them."

"Secondly, why do they trust us? Trust needs endorsement, and Oil City also needs promotion! In the previous thunderstorm disaster, tens of thousands of survivors came from outside. Only after we survived the thunderstorm disaster did they completely integrate into the trading market.

They will trust our points system. Points are invisible and intangible, but they can believe in and hold on to them. Isn't it because we helped them survive the thunderstorm disaster? "

"The ice disaster is a big challenge, but also a big opportunity. As long as we survive this ice disaster, our Oil City will gain a stronger driving force for development."

"Just like the last wave of thunderstorm disasters, once the disaster is over, Oil City will develop rapidly again!"

After hearing what his uncle said, Lao Luo couldn't calm down for a long time.

Just imagine, after the freezing disaster, if a buffer city could be built, it would become as prosperous as a trading market with a population of hundreds of thousands.

this.
It's basically a medium-sized city.

"but."

Lao Luo pursed his lips and said, "But now the trading market is overcrowded. If the population continues to increase like this, those newcomers may riot if they don't have food."

Uncle San smiled and said:
"So, this is why I asked Xie Changshan to continue building the buffer city wall."

Lao Luo frowned and pondered over what the minister had said.

"What do you mean?" Lao Luo thought for a while, but still couldn't figure out what the minister's solution was.

Uncle San explained:
"I asked Changshan if construction could be done in temperatures below -10. He said yes! It would just be more troublesome and slower."

"Even at minus 20 degrees, construction can still be carried out. We only need to add an appropriate amount of antifreeze to the concrete before pouring to prevent the water inside from freezing and increase the concrete's outlet temperature. At the same time, after construction, cover the surface with insulation materials for insulation."

"In addition, we can build a heat-insulating shed to maintain the temperature of the construction unit, so that construction can be carried out in sub-zero temperatures."

After hearing his uncle's explanation, Lao Luo suddenly understood.

"I understand!"

"You mean, keep building?! Try to raise the buffer city walls as high as possible before the ice disaster, and then build greenhouses in the buffer city to start planting!"

"In this way, we can use these people who have no points and are desperate to build this risky project and give them food! Work in exchange for relief!"

"Isn't this the same method we used in the previous thunderstorm disaster?!"

The overall height of the buffer city is only 6 meters now, but according to past common sense.

In the extremely low temperature of a blizzard, the zombies' limbs are not flexible and it is difficult for them to stack up.

The wall is six meters high and even ordinary zombies cannot pass through it.

The biggest threat is just the wall-climbing zombies.

But as long as they can open up the lines on the buffer city wall and install ultraviolet lamps, the wall-climbing zombies will not be able to get in!

The tens of thousands of acres of land in the buffer city can be used to build greenhouses without wasting time during the freezing disaster. However, in such severe cold weather, even if the insulation work is done well, some people will probably freeze to death.

However, for those survivors who have no points, no food and are desperate, it is at least a way to survive.

It's better than staying outside and waiting to die.

Lao Luo murmured:
"No wonder, no wonder Xie Changshan has started laying cables between the buffer city and the wall now. This is to prepare for the construction after the ice disaster comes."

What he was actually worried about was that if the population in the trading market continued to grow at this rate, the food reserves in the oil city would not be enough for them to eat.

On the one hand, they can't distribute food for free. What about those people in the trading market who have no points?
On the other hand, the food sent from the headquarters base and the North Territory is limited after all. The dozens of acres of experimental greenhouses and underground plantations in the trading market are simply not enough to meet their food needs.

According to rough estimates, the food they have now can only sustain them for half a year at most.

Food will eventually run out.

No one knows how long the ice disaster will last.

However, if we continue to build greenhouses and start planting during this period, these six months will not be wasted, and we can produce food continuously to supply the trading market and the oil city.

You won’t fall into the situation of living off your resources.

Thinking of this, Lao Luo was completely convinced.

Seeing Lao Luo's expression, Uncle San smiled and said:

"Understand?"

"Understood!"

Lao Luo raised his head and sighed:

"It's not easy to build greenhouses and other buildings in such low temperatures, and many people may freeze to death."

Uncle San narrowed his eyes and said:
“Times are tough, and death is inevitable, but on the road to development, many people will certainly sacrifice.”

"Yeah." After listening to this, Lao Luo's originally excited mood became a little depressed.

He knew that what the minister said was true and right.

Maybe it was because he used to be a soldier, so he still had some emotions, but they were just emotions.

Over the years, I have seen so many things.

A kind man cannot command an army, and without a ruthless heart, one cannot accomplish great things.

Some things have to be done by people.

The trading market commercial district not far away is still prosperous.

Even on this night with the temperature close to zero, there were still many people walking around the street.

People walking on the street were wearing all kinds of thick clothing.

Some people were wearing thick mink coats, which were the prey that many hunters had brought back from hunting outside, such as bears, tigers, elks, etc.

The fur was peeled off and made into clothes.

Clothing stores have been doing a booming business recently, with many people buying thick clothes and bedding there to keep warm.

"Come on, tiger fur coats are made of real materials. You only need 10 points to buy a warm and thick tiger fur coat!"

"Zombie leather suit!"

"Each piece of zombie skin has been cleaned, washed and soaked three times to remove the rotten smell and odor of the zombies. It is made of five layers of zombie skin, and the genuine leather is guaranteed! It fits the skin and keeps you warm all winter!"

Many survivors gathered around a stall selling zombie leather coats.

"Boss, how much is this leather coat of yours?" asked a man wearing a windbreaker and a knitted hat.

Squatting on the ground was a wretched man with a hair on the corner of his mouth, wearing a green military coat. He was rubbing his hands and breathing out white air while selling his wares.

After hearing the man's question, he blew a breath of hot air on his hands and said:
"A coat is 3 points each, pants are 2 points each, and a complete set is 4 points."

The man picked up the zombie leather coat from the stall and touched it.

The texture is somewhat like human skin, but it's all white.

The stall owner saw him pick up the fur coat and quickly tried to sell it to him:
"This is real leather. It's real zombie skin. I soaked it in potion to soften the skin. Look at the texture. It's so smooth and it's especially warm!"

"Look, that's what I'm wearing inside!"

He opened his military coat, revealing the zombie leather clothes underneath.

"Look, I wear it close to my body. It's super comfortable. There's a promotion going on right now. A whole set only costs 4 points."

After hearing this, the man in the knitted hat showed some emotion on his face.

"Then give it to me."

Just when he was about to buy, a young man next to him suddenly asked:

"Will I not be infected with the zombie virus by wearing this dress?"

The stall owner was so angry when he heard this that he wanted to curse. The deal was about to be done, but it was interrupted by this bastard. I was really pissed off.

But there were so many people around him, so he patiently explained;
"My handsome man, you are worrying too much. How could this zombie skin be infected with zombies? I have already told you that we use the three-cleaning, three-washing and three-soaking process. There is no zombie rotten flesh at all. If you don't believe me, smell it. There is no smell at all!"

"Even children know about the zombie virus. You can only be infected by biting. How can that be possible by wearing clothes? Besides, if there is a problem, I can't enter the trading market. I have approved it!"

"Also, look at the floors here, they are all very clean."

He turned open the zombie leather coat, revealing the side that was attached to the skin.

It is indeed clean and smooth.

It was as clean as if donkey skin had been soaked and cleaned, and the meat inside had been scraped off bit by bit.

The young man raised his eyebrows, curled his lips and said:
"You are too immoral. Zombies were human beings when they were alive. You are too cruel to make clothes out of human skin! I will never buy it. I feel uncomfortable!"

When the stall owner heard him say this, he immediately became angry.

with full force!

"Damn it! You bastard, you work in a clothing store, right? How can you do things like this?"

"You have such high moral standards, go move the Leshan Giant Buddha away and sit here."

"I'm really impressed! Look, their tiger fur coats are all sold for 10 points, but I only sell them for 3 points. I'm really conscientious. Mine is also very warm!"

"Tigers are also living things, and you are eating their meat. Pork is also an animal, so why are you eating meat? Plants are also living things, so why are you eating them?"

"What the hell, how can I still meet a stupid saint like you in this day and age! Get out of my stall, I don't want to do business with you."

"The weather is so cold and it's going to get even colder, what should you wear to keep warm?
My idea is to save ordinary people. It is such an affordable, easy-to-use and durable leather coat, and you actually said something like this!"

"Although the material of my zombie leather coat is easy to find, the skinning process is very complicated and tedious. The sewing process is also very complicated. I will only sell it for three points. You fucking idiot."

"Fuck it."

The stall owner said a lot of curses.

On this night with the temperature close to zero, he finally vented his anger.

Tonight is the first time he has set up a stall to sell this leather coat, but so far no one has bought it. There are many people around, but they are all waiting and watching.

He hoarded a lot of zombie skins, hoping to get rich overnight.

But now it has suffered a Waterloo.

It's bound to make him unhappy.

The survivors who were watching around him cursed at him.

Instead, they became interested in his leather coat because they felt that what the boss said made sense.

Three points, it’s so warm, why do you need a bicycle?

The man in the knitted hat said, "Give me a set."

With him taking the lead, other survivors around him started to buy.

"Give me a fur coat!"

"I want two sets, too."

"I want a pair of pants. Try them on first. If they fit you well, I'll buy them later."
