Rebirth In The Apocalypse: Start By Building The Strongest Base

A new day.

6:30 AM.

The sky is just beginning to brighten.

At the gate of Green Source Base.

Team members preparing to go out for combat and personnel heading to the chemical factory to move supplies are ready.

The weather is even colder today, having dropped below 20 degrees, and the team members have put on their coats.

Everyone is marveling at how quickly the temperature has dropped this year.

Except for Qin Jin, no one knows that this is just the beginning.

A large convoy of over a dozen vehicles drives out of the gate in sequence, with the majority heading to the chemical factory.

Other combat team members, in small squads, head in different directions and quickly disappear at various intersections, each going to their respective battlefields.

Qin Jin sees them off at the gate and returns to his office.

He calls Wang Yang, Zhao Ling, Tang Jinming, and others via the walkie-talkie.

Now that there is no internet, the usual communication relies mainly on walkie-talkies.

Within Green Source Base, only necessary positions and some management personnel have them.

Soon.

Except for Qin's father and some defense personnel who are still supervising the construction of the walls, all other managers arrive at his office.

Without wasting anyone's time, he stands in front of a mobile whiteboard in the corner of the office and says directly:

"You are the base's managers. Over the past few days, you should have collected data on our base's daily water and electricity usage, as well as the consumption of building materials. Please write the data for the areas you are responsible for on the board so we can compile a consumption statistic."

The others acknowledge.

Last night, Qin Jin had already informed them that they would be reporting on their recent work in his office today, so everyone came prepared.

They go up to the whiteboard in turn and write the data for their respective areas.

Before long, the whiteboard is filled with content.

First is the factory's daily electricity consumption.

Every day, the basement's internal circulation system, storage rooms, cold storage, ground construction and production, security monitoring, cooking, living lighting, etc.

The total daily electricity consumption is around 700 kWh.

This is with as much conservation as possible.

Electricity generation situation.

Using solar photovoltaic panels, laid out on top of all buildings and some open spaces within the base.

Fortunately, there was early preparation, and enough were purchased in advance.

Normally, a household roof laid with 80 square meters, with 8 hours of sunlight, 1kW*8 is 8 kWh of electricity. After passing through batteries and inverter circuits, the efficiency is only 80%.

That is to say, a household can normally generate about 6.4 kWh of electricity per day in good weather.

Green Source Base has a large area, with 5,000 square meters of solar panels laid out, generating about 640 kWh of electricity on a sunny day.

Close to the electricity consumption, with a slight deficit.

Mainly because there is a lot of construction recently, and some electrical appliances cannot be saved in order to meet the construction period.

Even so.

It can be seen that there is indeed a problem with the base's electricity consumption.

Because it cannot be guaranteed that every day will be sunny.

When it rains or is cloudy for several consecutive days, the power generation will drop sharply.

And the supplies in the underground warehouse cannot be without power.

The managers already know that the base has an underground warehouse, and it contains an unknown quantity of supplies.

Countless weapons and food are transported back every day to be stored, which cannot be hidden.

Qin Jin informed all the managers a few days ago, of course, it was impossible to say the exact quantity, but only said that many warehouses and cold storage facilities for storing food were built at the same time as the factory.

The base has no worries about food in the short term, which is also a move to stabilize people's hearts.

He looked at the electricity consumption situation, did not speak for the time being, and continued to look down.

Water consumption situation.

The base's daily production and domestic water consumption these days is about 25 tons, mainly construction accounts for the bulk, and other domestic water consumption is not too much.

However, it should be known that planting has not yet begun.

When it starts later, the water consumption will increase greatly, and now the tap water has been stopped, only relying on two ground ponds for support.

Usually when it rains, rainwater can be stored in the ponds, but the acid rain that will hit next month definitely needs to be protected.

With the nearly 130,000 tons of water in the two ponds combined, as long as it is not polluted, rainwater harvesting can be done during normal rainfall, which can be used as an unlimited water source.

The underground level's pool is only 300 square meters, which is the ultimate drinking water guarantee, unless it is an emergency, it will not be used.

Next on the whiteboard, you can see the consumption of various building materials.

Cement, lime, steel bars, etc.

Recently, they are being consumed rapidly every day. After all, the wall needs to meet standards, and a lot of materials are needed, as well as building various buildings, isolation zones, etc.

Qin Jin looked at the data on the whiteboard and had a rough idea in his mind.

The electricity problem will be dealt with later.

If it doesn't work, first use coal or fuel to generate electricity. If the subsequent plan goes smoothly, the electricity pressure problem should be greatly reduced.

As long as the water is protected.

What is immediately in front of him is the problem of building materials.

After the walls are completed, the original stockpiled building materials will be used up.

It wasn't that he didn't want to stockpile more before, but because of multiple reasons.

Such as money, land area, fire protection approval, etc.

Just the materials used for the recent heightening cost millions at market prices!

If he wanted to stockpile more, he would have to reduce investment in other areas, and his money was not unlimited.

Unlike now, as long as you find it and bring it back, it's yours.

It seems that after the supplies from the chemical factory are processed, he will have to start looking for some building materials again.

He dismissed the managers and asked them to continue to busy themselves with their affairs.

He himself stared at the whiteboard, planning the steps of the plan behind him.

He had considered some things before the end of the world, but they were definitely not as accurate as replaying them now.

He will seize this time to build the base better.

————————————

A closed factory a few kilometers outside Green Source Base.

The seventh floor of the office building, a large room.

It is Zhao Qiang's gang.

At this time in the room, sunlight shines in.

You can vaguely see a group of people lying scattered on sofas and floors, some people are not even wearing clothes.

They are not dead, but most of them are still sleeping.

Zhao Qiang has woken up and is smoking, blowing smoke rings, looking at everything in the room expressionlessly, especially the few newcomers.

Last night, to welcome the four newly recruited men, they held another crazy party.

Three women died because they could not stand the repeated insults, and one was thrown directly out of the factory.

The remaining two were even on the verge of death, lying naked and bruised all over on the tattered mattress in the corner, only the occasional slight rise and fall of their chests proved that they were still alive, no different from being dead.

Perhaps their hearts died before their bodies.

Tears have dried, throats have been hoarse, and pain is everywhere.

They don't know what they did wrong, why they should suffer such hellish torture. Perhaps the sister who left first last night was even better, dying early and getting rid of it sooner.

But they are unwilling!

Even if they turn into the most ferocious ghosts, they want to kill this group of men!

In the depths of their wooden eyes is an unforgettable hatred!

I can't wait to eat the flesh and blood of this group of people!

The sky is already bright. The group of men who were crazy all night woke up one after another. Several newcomers saw Zhao Qiang smoking, put on a smile, and hurriedly greeted him:

"Hello, President Zhao x4"

Zhao Qiang was very pleased.

He didn't expect that he would be called President Zhao.

He nodded slightly at the new people to show his response and continued to smoke his cigarette.

Yesterday went very smoothly. After finding these four men and pulling them back, they simply intimidated and lured them, and then collectively enjoyed several women in their family, and they had already become one with the others, calling each other brothers.

Sure enough, this is the normal person.

In this world, people who think like him are normal.

The gene of human beings who want to do whatever they want in their bones cannot be concealed.

He only needs to find more people, and their team will expand infinitely, and soon they will be able to surpass the neighbor in the high wall next door.

When the time comes.

Hehe.

Everything will belong to his President Zhao.

Just when Zhao Qiang was still YY.

Suddenly, the door of the room was pushed open, and his subordinate, the skinny man, walked in in a hurry, and shouted to him anxiously.

"Boss, it's not good! The two men who were locked in the warehouse on the first floor last night escaped! What should we do? Do we want to go out and catch them back?"

When Zhao Qiang heard this, he knocked the skinny man's head hard, glared at him, and said with spittle flying:

"Fuck!"

"Xiao Ma, how did you do things, you waste, you can't even watch two people, you can only eat shit and xx? Hmm?"

"Fuck, everyone, get up quickly? We set off to work, kill those two people if we meet them, and continue to look for new partners to join if we don't."

"It's just a trivial matter! What a disgrace! You guys who follow me, Brother Qiang, are going to do big things. Be smarter in the future! Don't panic, be calm, you know? Be calm!"

Everyone responded quickly.

The skinny man called Xiao Ma hurriedly covered his forehead and apologized.

A group of people simply packed their things, re-tied the two women, and all set off.

Today, in addition to killing the two escapees, they also have to continue to look for "partners" and "prey". Another one died last night, and they urgently need to replenish them.

In their eyes, people are also prey.

The more chaotic the environment, the more infinitely amplified the desires in people's hearts.

A group of people drove several cars and drove out of the factory.

They went in the opposite direction to Green Source Base, perhaps because they felt that they could not provoke that place at this time, so they subconsciously avoided that direction.

What they didn't know was that because of this, they missed the two escapees.

————————————

Sun Xiaolong, Sun Xiaohu.

These are the names of the two men who escaped from the factory.

They are two brothers, the kind of real brothers.

Sun Xiaolong is more than a year older than Sun Xiaohu.

On the day of the mutated night, they were going through entry procedures in a factory in Mentang Town Industrial Zone. They had just finished the National Day holiday and came here to work together.

They planned to earn some money before the Chinese New Year to go home for the New Year.

After graduating from high school, they joined the army for several years. After retiring, they have been out in society for a long time.

Sun Xiaolong has entered his thirties, but unfortunately both brothers are too honest and have not been in a relationship.

Too shy, they don't know how to make girls happy, and missed a lot of opportunities. Otherwise, with their temperament as soldiers, they can attract some female workers.

The money earned from working every year is only sent home to their parents, so that they can save it for them to marry a wife in the future, but unfortunately they can never outrun the rising speed of house prices and betrothal gifts.

The betrothal gifts in their hometown have even risen to 280,000!

Not counting other various name change fees, five golds, and banquet money.

It's despairing.

So they would rather leave their hometown and run to Guangnan Province to work everywhere, at least they don't have to be pointed at by those relatives or neighbors.

The two brothers are more free here.

Over the years, they have entered factories, worked as security guards, waiters, etc.

Without connections or eloquence, the two just live silently, relying on each other.

As a result, on the night of the mutation, they had just finished dinner and were walking around in the new company when they suddenly heard various noises and screams all around, and then the end of the world came.

They followed some survivors all the way to escape.

Some mutated on the road, some were bitten by zombies chasing them and fell behind, and finally only a small group of people remained.

There are those three women inside.

Well, they remember that two of them were colleagues who joined the company today.

Because the girls ran slowly, they were quickly thrown away by other men who were fleeing for their lives. The two brothers couldn't stand it and protected the three girls to run behind.

Relying on their skills as soldiers, they took the girls to avoid the initial chaos and hid in a house.

Perhaps the owner of the house had turned into a zombie and ran out, but it was cheaper for them.

There was a little bit of food in the house, so they hid here for several days.

During this time, they also used their mobile phones to follow the outside situation, knowing that everything outside was in chaos, and they never dared to go out.

Originally, the two brothers planned to go out alone to find support, but considering the safety of the three girls, they have not acted.

Then two days ago, they heard someone shouting outside, suspected of rescuers coming.

The girls ignored their persuasion and made a sound to respond.

They also prepared to follow that group of people.

They are also people who have been in society for several years, and they have a little ability to see people. They know that Zhao Qiang and his group don't look like they are here to rescue.

Forced by the hopeful women to take refuge, they had to follow first, after all, staying in the house was not an option.

Even though they had a faint feeling of unease in their hearts.

At that time, they didn't know that the morals of other people in this world had collapsed so quickly.

Soon they were taken to Zhao Qiang's factory.

After the other party revealed his intention, the two of them resisted.

Unfortunately, Zhao Qiang used several girls as hostages to restrict their performance. They were tied up and beaten severely.

Later, something even more devastating happened to them.

The two of them and several girls were taken to a large room.

That night, they saw what hell was like.

A terrible scene that they had never imagined was staged in their eyes.

Several girls who had been protected by them were insulted by this group of beasts.

They wanted to resist, to use words to stop the group's violence, their hands struggling until they were covered in countless bloody marks.

Unfortunately, the others didn't stop at all, and even became more cruel because of their勸阻. The two of them were also beaten badly.

Their bodies were in pain, and they felt like their worldviews were being shattered.

Later, from the conversation of that group of beasts, they also learned that a woman had already been violated to death and her body abandoned outside.

This was a group of utter scumbags!

It was a pity they hadn't tried their best to resist from the start.

Now it was too late; they were exhausted and covered in wounds.

Even so, they had never wavered in their resolve to not join, despite the invitations and threats of those people.

Even though they had always been underachievers at the bottom of society.

But the honor of being soldiers told them that even if it meant death, they could not do such a thing!

Later, they were locked in a dark room, and from what they overheard, death awaited them.

What Zhao Qiang and his group didn't know was that they didn't give up in that room. Using some skills and small tools, they successfully broke free from their ropes.

And while they were sleeping, they escaped from the room, escaped from the factory!

They walked on the road outside, their bodies already extremely weak, but they were unwilling to give up. They had to find a safe place to rest and recover.

Then they would kill Zhao Qiang and his group!!!

Since order and law had collapsed, and the bad guys were running rampant, they wouldn't be inflexible.

An eye for an eye!

Blood for blood!

To avenge themselves and those girls who had been bullied!!!
