The new era strikes

Chapter 170 The Wall Inside and Outside
After receiving Xiaoqi's message, Lu Tian scraped open the grass next to Qiren, and dug up an inch-high plant with a knife.

Lu Tian has never seen this plant before, it should be a mutant variety, with cyan branches, lavender leaves, and a little bit of vitality fluctuations.

"Xiaoqi, can you?"

"Yes master."

Lu Tian didn't expect to come across a useful medicine, and was reminded by Xiao Qi to find it and pick it up.

This plant just contains a lot of vitality, which is used by Xiao Qi to make the liquid medicine and the egg in the catalytic bag.

There is a slight cool breeze, and the heat is a little less sweltering at this time, and there is a smell of autumn, but the real time should be winter.

Instead of staying outside, he quietly returned to the rented room. Wu Bin was still thinking hard. The door of martial arts was slowly opening in front of his eyes. Because he had to read it a hundred times first, Lu Tian was not in a hurry to explain his doubts to him. If you didn't understand the question yesterday, you may understand it today. Thinking is more effective than instilling the answer directly.

The dinner was eaten by Lu Tian, ​​which was as rich as before the biochemical crisis. If it was discovered by those hungry survivors, it would probably make them jealous with envy.

There was a knock on the door, and it turned out to be a mouse.

"Eagle, there is a mission. This is the situation of the mission. Captain Yuan asked me to hand it over to you!"

"Would you like to come in and sit down?"

"No, I still have something to do, and you probably have a task, so I won't bother you."

"Well, then I won't see you off."

"Goodbye."

The mouse came in a hurry, handed Lu Tian a confidential document, and left.

Open the envelope and read: "Urgent task: Gather at the gate of the base at [-] o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the southwest to collect food."

It's not a mission to set off immediately, and the letter only briefly stated the time and general situation. The location and scale are unclear, and Lu Tian didn't think much about it. Tomorrow is the last day for him to help Yuan Xiong, so he just needs to help them do a good job. .

It was already ten o'clock at this time, and Lu Tian hadn't slept well for several days, lying on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, the government office building is brightly lit, reporting today's situation.

"5387 survivors have been summoned to build the city wall. 89% of the three-meter height of the first phase has been completed, and it can be completed tonight. Tomorrow, the second phase of the five-meter-high city wall plan will start. The recruitment of survivors will be stopped, and the city wall will be increased. High and thick."

What this person read was the summary of tonight's meeting, and the data and plans in it were all approved by the people present.

The reporter continued to read, "Today, 17640.5 kilograms of food will be distributed to survivors, and 3038.7 kilograms of food will be distributed as wages for the construction of the city wall, including a certain number of food coupons."

"Today, a total of 3557 people went out to collect materials, and the fee was charged at a rate of 60%, of which daily necessities such as quilts accounted for 5%, food accounted for 35%, and other sundries accounted for [-]%."

"today……"

Everyone listened to the overall situation report quietly, with different expressions, but they all had the same expression, which was frowning.

It is because too few people go out to collect supplies that they can barely reach 1% of the base's population, and the base's food is rapidly depleting.

"Is there any good way for everyone to stimulate these survivors to go out and find supplies?"

Tong Yajun, the county magistrate, spoke first and asked a difficult question.

You Yicheng smiled wryly and said, "Most people still have some surplus food, it's not that easy."

"Yeah, most people are not courageous enough, just like everyone here, who dares to face zombies alone, think about it in another place, and you can understand their psychology!"

The chief of police is a mild-mannered man in his 40s, and he got the point across in one sentence.

"It's not easy for us to force them. We can't drive them all out, right? The central government will not allow us to do this."

When it comes to coercion, everyone glanced at each other, but the central government has been keeping a close eye on it for the past two days, so they dare not be such an early bird.

Tong Yajun sighed, "Let's put this matter aside for now. When these people don't have enough to eat, they will naturally go out. It's just that this situation won't happen in a short time. Let's wait for three days first!"

Qiu Hengcai said at this time, "County magistrate, I have an idea."

"Oh, then tell me!"

"Didn't we plan to build two rows of city walls? Now we are building the outer walls, and we will be building the inner walls in a few days. Why don't we make a fuss about this?"

Everyone looked at Qiu Hengcai with deep meaning, and vaguely guessed what he meant.

"With two walls, the outer city and the inner city are just formed. There are so many zombies outside. If the base is attacked, the outer city must be more dangerous. We can move all those who are unwilling to go out to find supplies to the outer city. .”

He raised his glasses and continued, "Only when they collect enough supplies and earn a certain amount of food stamps can they obtain the right of residence in the inner city."

"We can set the cost of living in the inner city, so that even if these people live in, if they don't want to be kicked out, they have to earn food stamps to pay the cost, which can also ensure the long-term development of the base."

"Magistrate Qiu, aren't you afraid of objections from the central government?"

A person next to him made an opinion. Now that there is a biochemical crisis, all parts of the country have fallen into semi-isolation, but the control of the central government has not weakened. Instead, the assistance of the army has greatly strengthened the leadership. If something goes wrong with them, it is up to them whether this position can be kept question.

"Hehe, the central government just asked us to save the survivors as much as possible. As long as they are in the base, we have fulfilled our duty. Isn't the outer city part of the base?"

As the direct descendant of the Qiu family, Qiu Hengcai has naturally received a lot of news. This measure has already been implemented in some bases, and the central government also tacitly approves it. Otherwise, how could he stand up.

There were not a few people present who knew Qiu Hengcai's identity, and seeing his confident statement, they also recognized it somewhat.

"Okay, I think this suggestion is good and worth implementing."

Tong Yajun secretly belonged to the Qiu family's camp, so naturally he would not object. He agreed with several other people who belonged to the Qiu family's camp, and the others were not easy to object, so the plan was easily passed.

Qiu Hengcai lowered his head and pretended to be thinking. In fact, he was very happy. All he had to do was to slowly influence the decision-making of the base and make it the territory of the Qiu family.

Now it seems that success is not far away.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Tian opened his eyes. After five hours of deep sleep, he had gotten enough rest. He got up from the bed and washed his face, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to exercise his mental strength.

The blue spiritual smoke has been tempered several times, and it has become a little more solid. The amount has decreased a bit compared to before, but the energy contained in it has become thicker.

Amidst the chirping of birds in the early morning, Lu Tian made breakfast alone after finishing his practice.

As a left-behind child in the countryside, he naturally learned to cook. Lu Tian cooked a large pot of porridge and more than 20 eggs, and fried a few more dishes. Before Wu Bin and the others got up, he ate alone.

Of course, I left some for them, and when I left, I told Wu Bin who just got up, and Lu Tian left alone. The task was to start at seven o'clock, and he couldn't wait until seven o'clock.

There is crystal dew hanging on the green grass leaves, and the cool air penetrates the nostrils of the land, making people relax.Today the temperature has dropped significantly again, and I have already felt a more obvious coolness.

More than a dozen big red trucks had already parked at the gate of the base, and hundreds of soldiers were walking around, looking very busy.

"Eagle, here."

Yuan Xiong saw Lu Tian approaching and waved to him.

"We are going to drive there today, please, this batch of food is very important, we don't want to fail."

"Don't worry, I'll do my best."

A smile appeared on Yuan Xiong's face, "We all play with guns, and our long-distance combat ability is not bad, but if there are too many zombies and break through the defense line, it will be up to you at this time."

Lu Tian nodded, expressing that he understood what Yuan Xiong meant, that is, he didn't need to worry about the zombies in the distance, but only needed to deal with the zombies rushing into the crowd, and try to protect other people as much as possible.

Looking at Lu Tian who showed no worry, Yuan Xiong was both envious and admired. Thinking that today was the time when the agreement expired, his expression changed.

"Well, Eagle, I don't know if you will stay at the base recently?"

"I'm going to the provincial capital, what's the matter?"

Lu Tian knew what Yuan Xiong was thinking, but he was indeed planning to go to the provincial capital, so he told the truth.

"Then tell me when you leave, so I can see you off."

His eyes couldn't hide the regret, he wanted to keep Lu Tian, ​​but he found that he had no reason.

The two got into the cab of a truck, Yuan Xiong was driving, and Lu Tian was sitting in the co-pilot, which was much better than staying in the car.

When everyone was ready, it was almost seven o'clock. As the commander of this operation, Yuan Xiong gave the departure order without wasting time.

Fifteen trucks roared out of the base and headed to the southwest of the base. There was a grain wholesale market in this direction, which still stored hundreds of tons of grain, and what they had to do was to bring back as much grain as possible.

Each truck carried twelve people, a total of 180 people, half of the armed police, half of the garrison, and a deputy commander in another car.

Lu Tian's mental power roughly checked these, thinking about the dangers that the mission might encounter, and prepared to take precautions in advance.

Soon, the car was two kilometers away from the base, and the zombies that occasionally came out were also directly knocked into the air. The trucks lined up in a straight line, looking unstoppable.

Lush bushes began to appear. In just one week, no one took care of them. Weeds grew on both sides of the road and were spreading to the center of the road.

The truck that Lu Tian was in was not at the front. Seeing that the tail lights of the vehicle in front were on, Yuan Xiong quickly shifted to first gear and slowed down until it stopped.

The sound of gunshots came from the front, Yuan Xiong seemed to be listening to the headset, and waited for a few seconds before speaking.

"The road ahead is blocked, let's go down and help!"
