The last emperor

Chapter 333 Preparations before the war
The operation of the castle is much better than Zhang Jin expected, and the food is plentiful, which also allows him to boldly continue to expand the territory. These vegetables and cooking oil will be the most effective means of winning people's hearts. What else in the last days can be better than eating There is nothing more satisfying than a meal of fresh vegetables.

After eating, he had a quick chat with his mother about his uncle's situation, and then he went back to the village, talked with Zhang Zhen about transferring Lei Zheng, and then had to leave for the quarry where the ancient army was.

Gu Daita spent more than a month building the wall after he got the cement. He had to use the stone materials from the quarry. The entire periphery was reinforced with stones and cement. It looked like an indestructible city wall, which was much stronger than the wall of Heilongbao.

Everyone who is old and big in Heilong knows Zhang Jinfang. When Zhang Jinfang came to the door, the thick iron gate opened. Huo Lei came to greet him first, and the ramp inside was also repaired more strictly, allowing Zhang Jin to ride in directly.

Gu Da came out of a smoking stone house in a hurry, walked up enthusiastically and said: "Castle Master, it's been a while since you've been gone, come in quickly."

Zhang Jin smiled and followed in. The wires have been pulled from nearby, and the stove in the room is red and very warm.

"You're developing well here. It seems that this winter will be very easy."

Gu Da hurriedly picked up the teapot from the stove and poured water: "This is thanks to the castle owner. The cement we shared not only repaired the house but also repaired the wall, and there was a lot of food prepared. It was very nourishing."

Zhang Jin sat down and looked at the stone house. It was sealed with cement inside and outside to keep it warm. This condition is stronger than that in the mountains.

He smiled and said, "You are like a fortress here, have you dealt with it on the mountain?"

Gu Da poured the water over and smiled and said: "The reason for choosing this place is for the safety of the construction. I often go to patrol the mountain. The mountain is slightly steep and zombies can't climb it."

Zhang Jin nodded and said: "It's better to be careful. If zombies accumulate from the back mountain, your place will become a dangerous place. Artificially add a guardrail or something to prevent zombies from falling from the top of the mountain."

Gu Gu hurriedly nodded and said: "The castle master reminded me that I will take the next step to defend on the mountain, and when the weather is warm, I will build a hut to keep watch, so that I can monitor the surrounding situation with a wide view."

After chatting, Zhang Jin went straight to the topic and said, "I'm here this time to borrow someone from you."

The old man was a little surprised, but he said without any reluctance: "The castle master arranges at will, and now I have such a safe and stable life with the castle master, so I should fully support all the castle master's actions. "

Zhang Jin said with a satisfied smile: "To tell you the truth, I also built a base in Xinyang, but encountered some obstacles, so I want to use the blasting technique you are good at to remove the obstacles."

"No problem, we still have a lot of explosives, and Huo Lei is the best expert among us, and the castle master will do as he pleases." Gu Da said curiously: "Castle master, it's only been more than a month, and I haven't seen him yet." What's the matter, how come the castle owner has a base in the city, and he didn't ask us to help."

Zhang Jin was about to call Huolei, and he was very satisfied when he saw that Gu Da took the initiative, and said with a smile: "This matter is simple and simple, but it is a long story. Wait for Huolei to come back next time and listen to him. In short, you are missing." benefit."

Gu Gu hurriedly nodded and smiled, "That's right, I won't suffer from following the castle master. I am secretly glad that I met the castle master. I believe that with the leadership of the castle master, we humans will not be wiped out in the last days."

Huo Lei said: "Castle Master, how many people do you want me to bring, and when will we leave?"

Zhang Jin said: "Just bring someone who can help you. Bring more explosives. We may have a lot of places to use. Let's leave after you pack up."

"Brother, I'll go with you." Su Ling happened to be walking, and when she heard that Huo Lei was going to be busy, she also followed.

Huo Lei stared and said, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Jin also said: "The city is very dangerous, and your brother's mission is also dangerous. It's not safe for you to follow."

Su Lingjue said: "Castle Master, when I was studying chemistry, I was a specialty subject, and the explosives that my brother played with were children's subjects. Besides, I also learned how to shoot, so it will definitely help me."

Gu Gu persuaded: "You girl, don't join in the fun, go to cause trouble for the castle owner, listen to your brother and stay at home obediently."

Su Ling refused to accept: "The castle owner saved me, I want to repay the castle owner, and this is the end of the world, it is not safe to rely on your protection, I have to learn to protect myself."

Huo Lei and Gu Jun couldn't do anything about Su Ling, they both looked at Zhang Jin.

Zhang Jin laughed and said: "What Su Ling said is reasonable, but I can't make the decision on this matter, Huolei decides."

"Brother, you see the Castle Master agreed, I will protect myself, nothing will happen, let me go, it's too boring to stay at home every day." Su Ling said coquettishly, pulling Huo Lei's arm.

Huo Lei couldn't help but said: "Then go get ready, you must listen to me in everything, or you won't be allowed to go."

"Okay, I'll follow my elder brother's orders." Su Ling happily ran to pack her bags.

Huo Lei said helplessly, "I'm causing trouble to the Castle Master."

Zhang Jin said: "It's a good thing that Su Ling wants to be self-improving. Everyone pay more attention to protection. You go to prepare, we have to rush to Shahai."

"Yes." Huo Lei nodded and went to prepare.

Gu Gu was surprised and said: "The castle master is in such a hurry, at least eat something before leaving."

"No need." Zhang Jin asked: "Have you noticed the changes in the zombies?"

Gu Da nodded and said: "Yes, there are more zombies outside, and the ones that disappeared are coming back."

Zhang Jin tapped his fingers and meditated: "Hurry up to build defenses and train soldiers. Although the zombies can't be wiped out, but when there are few zombies, they can train their combat skills more. When there are more zombies in the future, it will be easier to deal with them."

"Well, I will start to deal with this matter, thank you for reminding the castle owner." Gu Da looked admiring, Zhang Jin manages so many towns, he did not expect to care about the comfort of his base in every detail, this is something to worry about every day How many things, if it were him, he would have felt exhausted long ago.

It didn't take long before Huolei came in with a leather bag, put it on the ground and pulled it away: "There are primitive gunpowder and various ready-made explosives, which can blow up a building, is it enough?"

Zhang Jin nodded, watched Su Ling come in with a bag and stood up, "That's enough, let's go, get a car and follow me."

Huo Lei came out with his bag in hand and said, "The road into the city should be very congested, I'll ride a motorcycle."

Su Ling hurriedly said: "Master, can I ride your motorcycle, brother's driving skills are not reassuring."

Zhang Jin nodded, Su Ling happily sat on it, made a face at Huo Lei who was staring at her, and grabbed Zhang Jin's waist a little excitedly.

"Huolei, be careful in everything." Gu Dasong came out of the gate and warned.

"Brother, don't worry, wait for our good news." Huolei was a restless person, and he knew what Zhang Jin wanted him to do. Such a dose of medicine would be a big battle, so he got excited thinking about it.

"Hurry up." Zhang Jin drove out of the gate and reminded Su Ling.

"En." Su Ling responded, but seeing the black dragon rushing out, she still let out a cry of surprise, hugged Zhang Jin tightly, and leaned on Zhang Jin's back to avoid the cold wind.

Huo Lei hurriedly stepped up the accelerator to catch up. Seeing that Su Ling was completely attached to Zhang Jin's back, she frowned helplessly. Yes.

Zhang Jin didn't feel anything at all. He was thinking about the next plan. This kind of non-stop preparation was to prepare everything before the Medicine Gang had any more actions. This battle may take a long time, and the tide of corpses is about to return. As long as it ends as soon as possible, the materials can be transported back before the tide returns, otherwise taking Xinyang City will not be of much practical significance to Black Dragon Fort.

It didn't take long to arrive at Shahai Town. There was a checkpoint surrounded by cars in front of the town. The person guarding the checkpoint didn't know Zhang Jin, but he had an impression of Heilong, so he hurriedly took the walkie-talkie to inform Laogou.

"Here we are." Zhang Jingchong said while still hugging Su Ling tightly.

"Ah, it's here?" Su Ling let go of her hand in a hurry. She didn't know when she hugged Zhang Jin so tightly. For a person who is relatively unfamiliar, this is really too close.

After getting out of the car in a panic, Su Ling tried her best to calm down, pretending that nothing happened, but her eyes were always secretly looking at Zhang Jin involuntarily.

After a while, Old Gou ran over in big strides, and said with a smile from afar: "The castle master is coming to welcome Lao Gou. Why didn't the castle master notify Lao Gou in advance, so that Lao Gou can also come to welcome him."

Huo Lei, who was desperately chasing after him, came a few minutes late. The ordinary motorcycle gave him the feeling of driving a racing car, but except for the speed, there was only one word of shock, and the car felt like it was about to fall apart.

Zhang Jin rode his bike slowly and walked in: "It seems that your construction here is quite good, and the sentry is very responsible."

Old Gou hurriedly laughed and said, "The brothers are not very familiar with the castle owner, so they didn't dare to ask the castle owner to come in first. I will remind you of this matter."

Looking at the changes in the town, Zhang Jin said: "It's good, it's safe. Your streets are cleaned well, and the defenses are almost repaired. The progress is quite fast."

Old Gou kept smiling in front of the car and said: "This depends on the support of the castle owner. Lei Gong's engineering team has helped us a lot. It depends on how we will be able to clean it up in a while. Now it finally looks like a place to live. gone."

Shahai Town is quite big, and Laogou only left the main street. Many houses outside the main street were knocked down and used waste to block the space between the houses on both sides of the main street. This method is crude but still very fast. A safe zone, which is higher than Lei Zheng's defense ability.

Seeing Zhang Jin observing the situation in the town, Lao Gou said: "The living environment of the survivors has been repaired. In front, there is another carefully built inner wall. This side is only used as an external defense, and the town is also cleared. It is clean and free of zombies, we are collecting the remaining materials for management."

Sure enough, a wall taller than a person appeared in front of it. Judging from the traces, it was still being repaired not long ago, and it may only be considered half completed.

"It's too cold to continue building. We plan to continue building as soon as the spring warms up. This inner wall will be repaired to a height of more than three meters, and steel brackets will be added to make it as strong as a city wall." Old Gou said with a smile.

There was a door left on the inner wall, and the army division came out to greet him.

Looking inside the door, Zhang Jin found that the town's turntable was in the distance, and the opposite wall was on the east side, which seemed to be an oval-shaped base plan.

He nodded and said, "This is the work of a military adviser, it's well planned."

"Sure enough, I can't escape the eyes of the castle master. It is indeed the plan of the military adviser." Lao Gou looked admiring. Only then did he realize why Zhang Jin wanted to keep the military adviser and join the people in Shatian with them. With a plan.

The military adviser said with a smile: "The owner of the castle is overwhelmed, the old man has no skills, he just put in a little bit of effort."

Old Gou hurriedly said: "Don't be too modest, military commander, quickly introduce our development to the castle master."

Seeing that Zhang Jin nodded to listen, the military adviser hurriedly said: "The main reward from Tuobao, the trust of Mayor Gou, the old man and Mayor Gou have arranged the development plan of Shahai Town. The defense is based on the central street. Functional stores such as car repair shops and grain and oil facades, so we regard the eastern half of the area as an inner base for wall repairs as the main survival base.

The survivors all live in the southern area, the most secure area is the lonely, the old and the young, the fighters without families are in one area, and those with families are in the same area. The medical room is being renovated, but there is no doctor yet.

There are more various grocery stores in the southern half of the area. The houses outside the central street are destroyed and the waste is collected first to simply build a defensive wall, so that the southern half of the area becomes an activity area for the time being, and the materials inside can be sorted out and used later.

In addition, now that the power is still on, we speed up the renovation of the warehouse to store food, weld more iron spikes and other things that can be used for defense, and repair the vehicle to prepare for future outings. "

Zhang Jin said with a smile: "I have to do more than I expected. I will help you with the doctor's affairs. Then I will transfer one over, or you can choose someone to send to Black Dragon Castle to study."

"Really, thank you, the castle master. Doctors are really important." Old Gou was very grateful when he heard it. Doctors are the most in short supply. Doctors are needed for serious and minor illnesses. If there is no one, you can only take medicine indiscriminately. Worrying.

"Castle Master, please come inside." Old Gou hurriedly invited Zhang Jin into his office.

This is an independent second floor not far from the big turntable. It used to be a hotel, but now it has been converted into an office, and the original town government compound in the town was abandoned in the side street.

After Zhang Jin entered the building, he heard shouting and beating, and went to the next room to take a look. There was a sandbag in an empty room, and several people were training shirtless.

Old Gou said: "Seeing that all the castle masters are well-trained, we bastards know that we are ashamed, so we also hurry up and train."

Zhang Jin smiled and said, "Aren't you still waiting for my promise to you?"

Old Gou hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, we must satisfy the Castle Master in three months' time, and everyone is busy for that day."

Zhang Jin saw that the trainees had a bit of the skills Chen Lie taught, and said with a smile: "I intend to give you a chance this time, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do it."

Old Gou was pleasantly surprised when he heard this: "Castle Master, don't worry, Lao Gou's people used to be a bunch of bandits and thugs. They may not be capable enough, but they are definitely brave enough. As long as the Castle Master is willing to give us a chance, we will definitely be terrified." mission accomplished."

Zhang Jin laughed and said: "I don't want you to go because I'm afraid you won't come back alive. Since you've risked your life, I can find someone anywhere."

Lao Gou was instantly embarrassed. It was the first time he heard that someone was afraid of your death. This was really unexpected.

Su Ling finally couldn't help laughing to herself, this old hook was originally strange, not tall, and his hair was short and curly, but now his facial features are twisted strangely, just like the strange old man in the novel.

Huo Lei stared fiercely, and Su Ling tried her best to stop smiling, but when she saw Lao Gou, she just wanted to laugh.

Old Gou held back for a while before saying: "Castle Master, Lao Gou is a rough man, but he is definitely a man of faith. He said that he would follow the Castle Master, and Lao Gou was also a restless person. Our strength may not be enough for the lord to do great things, but as long as the castle lord gives Lao Gou a chance, Lao Gou will definitely complete the task."
