Chapter 321 The Battle of Recovery
In fact, not only Xu Bai and the others noticed the hidden worries brought about by the cold air.

When going out in the morning, with the cold northwest wind, the senior management of the Shanghai base realized that a new crisis might be coming.

Last winter, the blizzard caused thousands of people to freeze to death at the Shanghai base, and hundreds of thousands of survivors were frostbitten.This is also thanks to their good preparations, and as the largest official survivor base in the south, they have ample supplies and food.Switching to other bases, I am afraid that there will be more frostbite and frostbite!Even so, when the blizzard that lasted for more than half a month finally stopped, all the high-level officials in Shanghai were relieved!

Right now, less than a year has passed since the blizzard, and it seems vivid in my mind. Seeing that the temperature has dropped sharply and the intensity of cold air is unprecedented, the executives have to reconsider the issue of cold winter!

"There must be enough heating fuel!"

"Last year's winter clothes were not enough, and some were cleared later, and now we must prepare early. There are also nearly a million survivors from the bases in Nanchang and Wenzhou, who have almost no winter clothes!"

"Hurry up and expand the housing area before the weather gets too bad, and make sure to let all the people who are still living in the tents move into the house!"

At the emergency meeting, a series of important suggestions were put forward by the high-level officials.

However, some things are easy to say, but difficult when they really want to implement them.Xu Bai, who returned to the Shanghai base overnight, sat at the top of the meeting room, feeling a little helpless in the face of these suggestions.He glanced at the dozen or so high-level people present at the meeting and seven or eight members of the logistics department, and asked, "How much fuel do you need for heating? Where does it come from? How many winter clothes do you need? How many people still live in tents?" I need a specific number!"

This question immediately left the people in the logistics department speechless, apparently they were not very clear about it.

Xu Bai snorted, and said a little dissatisfied: "As the officials of the logistics department, your job is to be responsible for these, and now you don't know anything about it? Go back and find out quickly. Only by clarifying the gap first can we make a decision. A specific response plan!"

"Yes, Chief!"

The people in the logistics office secretly wiped off their sweat, and quickly agreed loudly.However, some people seemed to be hesitant to speak because they were worried about Xu Bai's delivery.

Noticing the man's expression, Xu Bai shrugged helplessly, and said, "Just say what you have to say."

The man nodded with relief, stood up and said, "I'm the deputy director of the logistics department. I'm usually in charge of some statistical data. I have a few questions."

Xu Bai nodded, motioning for him to continue.

The deputy director of the logistics department was not polite, and said directly: "The problem of heating fuel mainly depends on how cold this winter is, and whether there will be extreme weather such as freezing rain and heavy snowfall. Although Shanghai has a climate Experts, but the climate since the end of the world is completely different from that of more than a year ago, and it is impossible to predict it. Without a reliable basis for judgment, it is difficult to grasp the amount of heating fuel!"

This question is very to the point, Xu Bai pondered for a while, and said: "Let's prepare according to the scale of last year, assuming that there will be a large-scale snowfall for more than half a month!"

The deputy director nodded and continued: "In this case, we will quickly calculate a figure. However, the base is currently short of fuel and almost all the fuel near Shanghai has been collected. If you want to use fuel for heating, a It’s too wasteful, and it’s unrealistic. So, only wood and coal are left to consider!”

Xu Bai thought for a while and asked, "How easy is it to obtain these two?"

The deputy director obviously thought about this issue before, and said without blinking: "Wood is undoubtedly the easiest to get, but our climate and environment are already very bad, and if we deforestation on a large scale, I'm afraid it will be even worse. .As for coal, there are some coal distribution centers in the Shanghai-Shanghai port and along the railway. But when it comes to the most likely place to find coal, it is Baosteel!"

Shanghai Baosteel!

Xu Bai's eyes lit up immediately after being told by the deputy director.

Does anyone know the famous Baosteel Group?It is said that the annual output of steel is 3000 million tons!Such a domestic iron and steel enterprise, one of the best, must have a large amount of coal reserves in its factory area.If they can all be transported, they may be able to support their millions of survivors through this winter!
I just don't know how much coal Baosteel Group still has.

Seeming to see Xu Bai's concerns, the deputy director smiled and said: "Before this, our base mainly encouraged survivors to go out to collect fuel and food, and there were not many others. Especially coal, which accounted for a lot It’s not very useful, only the military once brought back a batch for daily cooking. As for Baosteel, there should still be a lot of coal! As far as I know, all their factories add up to consume 500 million yuan a year Tons of coal! On average, more than 4 tons a day!"

"so much?!"

Xu Bai hadn't really paid attention to this aspect, and now that he knew the specific figures, he couldn't help being surprised and delighted.Surprisingly, the consumption of coal by iron and steel enterprises.The good news is that since Baosteel uses tens of thousands of tons of coal every day, why should it have several weeks or even more coal reserves in its factory area?

Xu Bai was a little excited when he thought that hundreds of thousands of tons of coal might be available at his fingertips!
"In this case, let's give up wood and focus on collecting coal." After the joy, Xu Bai made a decision on the spot.

After solving the fuel problem, the winter clothing problem is relatively simple.There were so many people before the end of the world, and it has only been more than a year now, and the clothes left behind should still be there.As long as you are willing to venture out to collect, you can easily find them in places with residential buildings and shopping malls.But if you want to make a new one yourself, it will be much more troublesome, and you need all kinds of modern machines and enough electricity!
As for the construction of houses, bricks, cement, steel bars, etc. are needed for more than a year, and the outdoor building materials are basically useless, and only those with good storage conditions can make do with them.Or, they simply find equipment from cement factories and kilns and produce them themselves!

All these points point to a road to regain Shanghai!
It is not impossible to solve them separately, but it will undoubtedly waste a lot of time.In Xu Bai's opinion, the most effective way is to do his best to recover the whole city of Shanghai in one fell swoop!
As long as they can win Shanghai, they can not only completely eliminate the threat of millions of potential zombies around them, but also obtain countless production equipment and materials inside.Although most of the supplies are broken, there is always something that can be used.Originally, Xu Bai wanted to wait for the army of supernatural beings to exceed a thousand people and slowly plan to conquer Shanghai little by little.But now, the sudden drop in temperature reminded him that winter is coming!
If it is not possible to conquer Shanghai before the cold winter, then this plan will undoubtedly be postponed to the beginning of spring next year.

After the changes in the past few months, there must be more fourth-tier zombies, and the threat to them will be greater by then!More importantly, after the end of the world, no one can say what will happen in the future. The safest way is to complete the feat of recovering Shanghai within a predictable time!
There is not much time left for him, maybe only a month!

Thinking of this, Xu Bai finally made a decision, and told the subordinates in Shanghai: "After two weeks at most, I decided to launch a comprehensive battle to recover the urban area of ​​Shanghai!"

"what?"

All the high-level officials in the conference room cried out in shock, and even Lieutenant General Luo and the others lost their composure.

Before that, they also knew that Xu Bai had a plan to take over the urban area of ​​Shanghai, and they had seen the strength of the pseudo-supernatural force and the real supernatural.

However, they did not expect Xu Bai to be so hasty.Didn't you say that you have to wait until the army of supernatural beings has thousands of people before slowly subduing them?
"We don't seem to be fully prepared yet." The chief of staff hesitated.

"No, because we don't have that much time!"

Xu Bai persuaded them with one sentence, or in other words, it was his firm attitude that made the high-level officials shut up.To put it bluntly, the main force of the battle is the supernatural beings, not them.Even if they are not strong enough and encounter danger, it has nothing to do with them!
"If there is no objection, it will be settled like this!"

Seeing their silence, Xu Bai asserted his power arbitrarily, and gave the battle to regain Shanghai half a month later a nice name, Operation Red Dawn!

In his memory, this seemed to be a battle name in the Red Alert game, and he picked it up.Here, dawn represents hope, and red means that in order to recover Shanghai and completely wipe out the zombies, the supernatural beings don't mind bleeding and dying for it!

After formulating the plan and time, the Shanghai Base and Xishan Island became busy.Because the weather was getting colder every day in the next few days, out of apprehension, both sides gave their all efforts for Operation Red Dawn.All the supernatural beings were thrown out, and they began to hunt for crystal coins with all their strength.The people in Shanghai are also organizing troops and volunteers. When the time comes, they will cooperate with the supernatural beings to conquer Shanghai and empty out all the useful things in the city.

The next step is to form a convoy, divide the specific location and order of capture, defense and anti-osmosis after nightfall. ． ． …

The supernatural beings who worked hard to collect soul crystals did not disappoint Xu Bai, and soon got a lot of crystal coins.However, Xu Bai didn't dare to exchange all these crystal coins for silver medals. He needed to keep a large part of them to make seal cards and other props, and distribute them to his subordinates so that they could save their lives at critical moments.In addition, in order to have two more masters who can control the situation at that time, Xu Bai did not hesitate to spend double the price to exchange for a bottle of concentrated potion!
In this way, when the battle of subjugation begins, the combination of three high-level supernatural beings will definitely achieve decisive results!

Time passed day by day, and when the temperature finally broke through below zero, Xu Bai and the others also completed the initial preparations, and were about to launch the war to conquer Shanghai ahead of schedule!
