#225 - Chapter 225 Brother Long Arrives
Green Source Base.
After slaughtering over a hundred thousand zombies that attacked the base, the cleanup work continued for an entire day without being fully completed.
Just clearing the corpses and digging pits for burial took a great deal of energy from the team members.
That's not even counting the destroyed barricades and damaged wall facilities.
The survivors in those quarantine areas were also naturally pulled in to help with these follow-up tasks.
To let them also experience the difficulty of post-apocalyptic defense.
When they saw the endless expanse of corpses outside, they were shocked and speechless.
“I'm numb! Heavens! How many zombies came here!?”
Xiao Cong and A Zhen, these survivors, were horrified and felt numb all over after coming out.
No one can remain indifferent when they see so many corpses of their former kind!
Naturally, they refreshed their understanding of Green Source Base once again.
Smart people were already vying to show their worth.
Just to leave a good impression on the base's leaders.
In fact, they didn't know that, except for a small number of important professionals who had already been reserved, the other survivors had been under assessment since they registered.
It could be said that those who were able to participate in the construction work at the branch base were already one step ahead of others.
It's still that saying.
The earlier, the better.
In another location of the base.
Qin Jin, who hadn't slept all night, didn't choose to go back to rest immediately.
Instead, he continued to send several helicopters out to scout Fenghe County, and even the surrounding counties.
This was, of course, to ensure that the crisis of the surrounding zombie siege was truly resolved, in case more came later, it would be troublesome.
After instructing the helicopter reconnaissance, he went non-stop to the weapon warehouse on the first floor underground.
His older cousin had already completed the ammunition consumption statistics.
“Yesterday afternoon plus last night, we consumed a total of 890,000 rounds of various bullets! More than 5,400 TNT bombs! 51 guns damaged that need replacement parts! And some other arrow losses are difficult to count, it depends on how many can be recovered…”
Luo Dandan said unhappily, looking like a miser.
The consumption of nearly a million bullets in one night was predictable, because often a zombie cannot be completely terminated with a single bullet hitting the vital point.
In this chaotic scene, coupled with the night, even with lights, it generally takes multiple shots to solve one.
Not to mention some occasional mutated zombies, it takes hundreds or thousands of bullets to focus fire to solve one.
No wonder Luo Dandan didn't give Qin Jin a good look, after this battle, almost 1/5 of the base's inventory was consumed!
This was still thanks to the million rounds found from the Zhushi Military Region before, and Dong Hui and Lin Runwei optimizing the bullet production line to achieve a daily output of over ten thousand, that there was such an inventory.
“Chief, next time we need to think about how to deal with large-scale zombie attacks, otherwise if zombies frequently attack our base like this, our production capacity will not keep up!”
Qin Jin didn't get angry when he heard his older cousin's slightly complaining words. Of course, he knew what kind of temper this older sister, who had grown up with him since childhood, had.
“Okay, I know, I'll go to Li Xu and the Security Department and the Production Department to think of a way immediately. I will definitely fill your weapon warehouse!”
After appeasing his older sister and grasping the necessary information, he didn't continue to stay.
Later, when the reconnaissance work was over, and the cadres had dealt with the cleanup work outside the base, he would naturally call everyone to a meeting to review the zombie siege problem.
He continued to walk around the base, saw that everyone was busy, and didn't bother others, returning to the office to make some preparations first.
*****
Evening.
The corpses outside were cleaned up for a whole day before they were finally cleared, exhausting everyone who participated.
It is expected that the construction of the branch base can be restarted tomorrow.
The helicopters sent out for reconnaissance had also returned long ago.
After surveying Fenghe County and the surrounding areas, it was confirmed that almost no large-scale zombies continued to come.
There should be no such situation in the short term.
In the conference room of the office building.
“This crisis came very suddenly, and at the same time exposed many of our shortcomings! We still have many areas that need to be improved!”
“Ammunition production must continue to increase! Otherwise, what will we do if this situation comes often!?”
“Our early warning work is also not good! We were only discovered when the zombies touched near or even the door? What about the monitoring and patrols arranged around before!?”
“What? Not installed yet? Then get it done quickly for me!! Within three days I want to be able to see the pictures of some places! Within a week, all road intersections must be arranged! And a special patrol team must be formed, except for special circumstances, patrol around Mentang Town and Fenghe County every day!”
“Also, the Development Department and the Production Department must also develop more high-power weapons! Produce as many bombs as you can! Tell me or the Combat Department what materials are needed, and let the survivors outside find them!”
Not long after the meeting started, Qin Jin directly made a summary.
The cadres also knew that these things the boss said were necessary operations, so naturally they didn't dare to express opinions and said they understood.
After the meeting, everyone went back to work.
The finishing work is not over yet.
Those survivors outside were also sent back to several residential areas.
The branch base has not yet taken shape, even if the wall is several meters high, the dormitories have not been built yet, and people cannot live in them.
It will take a little time.
Night.
After eating dinner, the team members who had been busy for a long time were not arranged for work and could finally go back to rest.
Many people had stayed up all night last night and were already exhausted.
Soon, the sound of snoring rose and fell in the base dormitory.
Nothing to say all night.
*****
The sun appeared just after six o'clock in the morning.
Today is a good day.
The temperature has also returned to above ten degrees.
The branch base resumed normal construction today, and the survivors in the residence were picked up by base personnel early in the morning and driven to work.
Other personnel also have their own arrangements.
Start implementing the plan customized by the senior management yesterday.
At the helicopter pad of the base.
Qin Jin appeared here.
Li Bowen and Wang Bin have also been out for two days.
He is determined to obtain strategic resources such as petroleum!
So he plans to take time today to fly over to see how the situation is there.
The distance from the Zhushi oil refining area to the Green Source Base is only an hour or so at the speed of a medium-sized helicopter.
This leader of his is not planning to stay in the base for the rest of his life.
Before, it was just unnecessary to let his subordinates exercise more.
But he will still personally take care of some important matters!
Xia Yan had already prepared in the helicopter. Seeing President Qin sitting in the back seat and confirming that everything was correct, he pulled up the joystick, left the ground and rose into the air.
Flying straight towards Zhushi.
At this time.
At the gate of the base.
Three cars appeared.
They are the people who just arrived at the Green Source Base to seek refuge.
“Damn! We finally arrived! This Green Source Base is really majestic!”
“Brother Long! We really didn't come to the wrong place!”
In the leading car, a yellow-toothed youth stared at the towering base wall in front of him with a shocked face, and said with emotion to a scarred man next to him.
It was Brother Long and his gang who were trapped in Longmen County before in winter!
