#15 - Chapter 15 Preparation and Reminders

After arranging his relatives and the base managers,

He kept the security team members and Zhong Yu behind.

Now, Zhong Yu was basically considered one of the security team members.

Except for Zhang Tiankai's five-person team who were on duty, the rest of the teams were present.

He had other arrangements for these people.

Without further ado,

Qin Jin directly led them to a garage inside the factory where vehicles were parked.

This garage was quite large, and several off-road vehicles and heavy trucks were parked there.

Qin Jin looked at these vehicles, then turned to Li Bowen and the others and said:

"Go and move the gas welding equipment over here, and also bring some of the steel plates and wire mesh from the warehouse. We need to modify these vehicles!"

"Relying solely on the food within the factory is definitely not enough, and we don't have enough weapons either. This fog will eventually dissipate, and we'll have to go out to search for supplies!"

"You will be the first group to go out with me! So please be prepared. The stronger we reinforce the vehicles, the safer we'll be! I hope everyone doesn't just do a perfunctory job!"

"Bowen, you will be the combat personnel within the factory from now on, but the current scale is not enough. I need you to select more people from the remaining personnel to supplement the team. I require the combat team to have more than 20 members!"

"In the future, some will stay at the base with my father and the others to maintain security, while the others will go with us to search for supplies!"

"Just say it's my order. It's best if they're willing to join, and if they're not, they can stay at the base and work on construction!"

After speaking to the combat team members, he saw that everyone had no objections, so they started working.

Li Bowen also went to the original company leaders to ask for people.

Qin Jin's family had more than ten people, and the combat team members plus their families also numbered more than twenty. After deducting Zhong Yu's family and Wang Yang's group of company leaders and their families, there were only thirty to forty employees and their families remaining.

After deducting some elderly and young family members, they needed to select some people from these fifty to sixty people to supplement the combat team.

After giving instructions, Qin Jin took the lead in modifying the vehicles himself.

There were still many things to do in the two days before the fog dissipated, so he had to seize the time to handle them.

When recruiting people, he specifically looked for those who knew some mechanical repair skills to join the security team, and now they could come in handy.

Plus, Qin Jin had already learned and understood the process, so those who knew what they were doing worked very quickly.

In one morning,

They covered all the windows of two off-road vehicles and two heavy trucks with wire mesh.

The front windshields were also fitted with openable steel mesh, and the front and rear of the vehicles were welded with heavy ramming angles and guardrails (designed by someone in advance). The outside of the tires were also welded with protection.

Looking at the vehicles, a fierce cyberpunk style instantly assaulted the senses!

Some of the combat team members' eyes lit up when they saw them. Who hadn't watched movies in peacetime?

This was a man's romance.

They completed most of the work in one morning, and they expected to finish the other protection inside the vehicles with extra effort in the afternoon.

After testing and inspecting everything, they could drive out and venture out!

At the same time, they needed to deal with some mutated livestock. The mutation rate of animals was much lower than that of humans, less than half.

But the mutated ones bit and infected some of the others, so only a little more than half remained now.

Fortunately, they were managed separately in many grid areas, otherwise none would have been left.

The living poultry and livestock needed to be raised properly, and when they reproduced in large numbers, they would also be a source of food.

At least the feed for livestock was easier to obtain than the grain for humans.

At lunchtime,

Everyone in the base gathered in the company cafeteria. Everyone had been notified in the morning that they would be eating here from now on.

The corpses in the original venue had been disposed of long ago last night, and the venue had also been cleaned up.

But after all, it was disgusting, so it was more appropriate to return to the cafeteria for meals.

The food was relatively simple, with everyone getting the standard of one meat dish and two vegetable dishes plus a soup. There was enough rice, including Qin Jin, and he didn't make any exceptions.

At least not yet.

The apocalypse had just begun, and there was no need to starve them right away, as that would backfire.

Even so,

Most people ate without much taste.

Last night they were still eating lavishly, and overnight the world had changed, a huge difference.

This morning, they also learned that the Green Source Base had issued some rules, and they also heard that people were being organized to go out to search for supplies later.

Many people trembled in their hearts when they heard this. There were so many crazy zombies outside, how could it be safer than staying in the base!?

In the end, only six people were willing to join the combat team.

The reasons for not going were partly because they were indeed frightened by the outside world, and many others held a fluke mentality, hoping that the official government had not collapsed and that a well-organized rescue team would appear soon.

It was too dangerous to go out now, so it was better to stay in the base first, anyway, the boss didn't seem to be doing anything to them.

He couldn't possibly throw them out to feed the zombies, right?

Among the six people who joined the combat team, there was actually a woman, which made people look at her with different eyes.

In Qin Jin's expectation,

Joining the combat team now didn't necessarily mean that they would be arranged to leave the base, and they might also be arranged to do some defense work at the base.

But he wouldn't say it. This was the first round of screening.

In the future, the people in the base would definitely be divided into core personnel and ordinary personnel, and they would go through rounds of testing and screening.

Needless to say about the original combat team members, he had to let them adapt to the new era as soon as possible.

Only when they had the ability to go out and search for supplies independently in the future could he relax a little.

"What is this stuff!? I've never eaten such unpalatable food. Even if we want to save money, there's no need to be so stingy, right!? Maybe things will calm down outside soon."

Just as everyone was eating silently, a woman in the crowd made a sound.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Li Yan, the girlfriend of "Little Zhou" from last night.

She seemed to see everyone looking over, and no one echoed her words, making her a little embarrassed.

For a moment, she didn't dare to say anything more, and lowered her head to mutter inaudibly to the food.

Speaking of which, Li Yan had a good appearance, in her twenties, about 1.6 meters tall, with a curvy figure, and fashionable clothes.

Originally a 5, after makeup and dressing up, she had a 7-point face.

No wonder she could fascinate many men, including Little Zhou.

She had never suffered since she entered society, and was constantly immersed in the sweet words of simps, and had long regarded herself as a goddess.

Qin Jin glanced coldly, then continued to eat without saying a word.

He didn't have time to deal with these people now. When they dared to do anything out of line in the future, he would tell them whose place this was.

The lunch was finished in everyone's silence. Qin Jin stood up and said to everyone:

"Everyone should know that we have some rules today. These are established for us to survive. If anyone has different opinions or better suggestions, I welcome them to bring them up and we can correct them together, because our ultimate goal is to create a safe environment!"

"Our food is not unlimited, and weapons may not be able to withstand the zombie attacks, so we need to find opportunities to replenish food and strengthen our defense forces!"

"We are not going out immediately, at least until it is relatively safe before considering it. So I hope more people will join us and contribute to the factory! Those who have considered it later are still welcome to come in."

After speaking, he looked around, then picked up his plate and put it in the designated place, and then left.

—————————————

Afternoon.

Continue to modify the vehicles enthusiastically.

Also joined the modification of weapons.

Lengthen the machetes, or tie some sheaths that make them easier to use.

Some adjustments were also made to the shields to make the defense better and more flexible.

There are also special instructions for the protective gear worn by each person.

It can be said that if they only encounter a small number of zombies, as long as they don't act stupidly, Qin Jin is confident that he can lead them back and forth unscathed.

During this period, he saw that the modification work was almost done, and he took out several drones, and tied them with special sounding balls (previously customized), and taught the combat team members how to use them and tactical arrangements.

Zhang Tiankai and the others were stunned.

The boss looks so professional.

Qin Jin prevaricated simply.

He said that he liked to play with drones, and he was also a fan of doomsday survival before, and it was normal to have some special toys.

It is impossible to refute.

The day passed quickly.

During the period, the surveillance occasionally showed crazy zombies wandering outside. The surrounding area is an industrial zone, and there are some other factories. Perhaps there are some survivors, but no one can help anyone.

The five-meter-high wall of the Green Source Base is still reliable for the time being.

The mutation has just begun, unlike the later stage when the number of survivors decreases and the zombies begin to concentrate, forming various scales of corpse tides.

The day passed in such a thrilling way.

After eating the big pot of rice in the evening.

Everyone returned to their residences to rest.

Tonight, Qin Jin returned to his room. Although he took a nap last night, his spirit was still okay.

But he was also busy all day today, dealing with and arranging various things, and he also felt a little tired.

The base has now obtained a new preliminary order, and the next step is to continue to consolidate and strengthen its strength.

In the evening, he took the time to take out his mobile phone and go online to see.

This product, which is indispensable in the information civilization era, will disappear in a few days in my impression.

If conditions permit, a local area network can be built in the base in the future.

He thought to himself.

The Internet is still a suffocating scene.

More and more media have begun to disconnect and cannot be connected, perhaps because the server was destroyed, or it may have collapsed on its own without maintenance.

There are fewer and fewer platforms left for survivors to cry for help.

The existing platforms are also full of despair, basically asking for help and spreading negative energy.

The more people watch it, the more hopeless they feel.

Qin Jin looked through some media platforms that still existed, and sighed helplessly.

Although he is a reborn person, he is not a savior.

Apart from saving himself, there is no extra power.

It's not that he didn't think about spreading some information about resisting mutation at night on the Internet, but how many people would believe it?

The truth will still go back to finding the official result.

It's not a permanent cure.

Even if you survive temporarily, facing the future doomsday, without preparation, it's better to end the pain sooner.

After reading the media news, he turned to some group chats. Some survivors in some groups sent a lot of information, but it has gradually decreased later.

Suddenly.

He saw a group.

A doomsday enthusiast group that I joined to study before.

I joined before to learn a lot of useful knowledge and reference ideas, and he was relatively familiar with some people in the group.

At this time, there are still several survivors in the group talking, basically sharing some of their respective situations.

After watching for a while, he sent a message in the group.

{Qin Jin}: The end of the world is coming. It is recommended that everyone take advantage of the fact that there is no water or electricity yet, and quickly store water and fill up the power bank mobile phone battery (if any). The food should be eaten according to plan. Reinforce the doors and windows and don't go out first. Consider going out after the fog disappears and the zombies become weaker. Rescue is unlikely. It is recommended that everyone change to a better hiding place if conditions permit. The days to come may be more difficult. After the zombies finish eating the survivors outside, staying in the city will be more dangerous.

Qin Jin is Qin Jin's online name. He has used it for a long time, and many platforms also have this nickname.

Soon, a survivor in the group replied.

{Skywalker}: Qin Jin is right. It is recommended that everyone quickly store water and electricity. If the situation deteriorates, rescue will be delayed. If you are trapped at home in the future, you can survive for many days without food, but you will be thirsty to death without water in two or three days! But what is the basis for Qin Jin's statement that the foggy day disappears and the zombies become weaker, and the issue of changing hiding places? Can you explain in more detail?

Qin Jin remembered that this Skywalker was the group owner of this group, and he didn't expect him to still be there.

He thought for a while and continued to speak in the group.

{Qin Jin}: This is also my guess. I have watched so many zombie movies and TV dramas, and there are some rules to follow for mutations. If it is not a man-made biochemical virus, it is an alien virus or a blue star mutation. Looking at the Internet, it seems that there is fog all over the world. I think we can rule out the possibility of man-made.

{Qin Jin}: Then it is the plot speculation. The current zombies are too crazy and several times stronger than in the movie. According to this degree of movement, the consumption of body cells will also be very large, which is not very reasonable, so I think zombies will have a strong period and a weak period. If it continues to develop like this, the people outside will be eaten, and no one will share the firepower to attract zombies. Wouldn't zombies search for hiding survivors? I am just reasoning, everyone can refer to it.

{Skywalker}: I think what you said makes sense.

{Mi Rabbit}: Agreed.

{Tank}: Awesome, after reading Boss Qin Jin's speech, my family has already started storing water and electricity.

{Wooden Man}:赞。 Boss Qin Jin, do you have any more dry goods? The younger brother has to quickly take notes and study!

There are still many survivors in the group of nearly 500 people. Many people who saw it for a while were asking Qin Jin for more news.

But he was no longer interested in chatting and was going to go to bed early because he had a lot of things to do tomorrow.

What he didn't know was.

This {Mi Rabbit} in the group.

Her real name is Li Cai.
