#411 - Chapter 411: Initial Water Shortage
After Zhao Xin finished speaking.
The entire room fell silent.
Various thoughts flashed through everyone's minds at this moment.
Is this guy crazy?
"Zhao Xin! What nonsense are you talking about?! Shut up!"
Zhao Zhigang's face turned furious, and he quickly reprimanded his son.
This scoundrel!
What on earth is in his head?!
"I'm sorry, Captain Wang, the child doesn't know any better, please don't take it to heart."
Zhu Fen, who was beside him, also quickly pulled Zhao Xin over, pretending to stop him from talking nonsense.
"......"
Wang Yang looked at the young man who seemed to want to say something more but was stopped by his parents, and labeled him in his mind: mentally retarded.
How clueless is this person, or rather, how completely lacking in self-awareness is he?
Just based on this morning's scene, and relying on having the same father as a base cadre, he dares to request entry into the main base?
Did he eat too much tree bark and grow grass in his brain?
"Hehe, Young Master Zhao is really joking."
"Alright, Mr. Zhao, please do as you wish. Tonight, you will return to Residential Area 1 by car. Tomorrow, we will make corresponding arrangements for you based on the situation."
Wang Yang didn't plan to continue wasting time here.
He felt that if he stayed any longer, he might hear some Arabian Nights-like words.
After saying goodbye, he didn't wait for Zhao Zhigang and the others to try to keep him, and quickly left with his subordinates.
Watching the back of this Green Source Base Director-General as he walked away, Zhao Zhigang's heart finally relaxed a little, and then he turned his head and angrily scolded his good-for-nothing son:
"Do you know what you were saying just now?! Huh? Are you an idiot?!"
Hearing her husband's angry scolding of their son, Zhu Fen, without waiting for Zhao Xin to retort, flared up first.
She twisted her face and glared directly at Zhao Zhigang, saying:
"Zhao Zhigang, what are you yelling about?! Xin Xin just wanted to fight for us! Why is your mouth so foul?!"
The couple started bickering again.
Zhao Xin had long been accustomed to this. He had grown up in such an environment since he was a child.
Every time he did something wrong that displeased his father and was scolded, his mother would always stand up to defend him.
In his opinion, this was as it should be.
As the only son of the Zhao family, what's wrong with being a little spoiled?
It's just that the Green Source Captain Wang just now didn't seem to give him any room for bargaining when he heard his request, which made him a little unhappy.
His sister is an important cadre in Green Source, isn't it okay to use this relationship to let a few of them in?
This Green Source really doesn't value personal relationships.

Chief's Office.
Qin Jin had just returned from the laboratory.
As always, Old Zhou's research on D protein had not made any breakthrough progress.
However, he had recently done a lot of experiments and obtained more information about the characteristics of D protein, learning more about the magical functions of this magical substance.
"There's no rush, there's absolutely no rush, the results that should come will not escape, let Old Zhou continue to follow it."
Returning to his boss's chair, Qin Jin opened a bottle of iced Coke for himself and drank it comfortably.
In this annoying weather.
There is no more pleasant drink than this happy water.
Putting aside the experimental research, Qin Jin began to think about other things again.
In the morning, Li Bowen had already taken that Engineer Xu to Jiang City to find an airship.
Now Green Source's combat troops are divided into five teams in total.
Each is led by the original team leaders.
Now they are no longer team leaders, it is more appropriate to call them captains directly.
Because in addition to the original main base members, the outsourced personnel from the branch bases have also been divided into teams and incorporated into their respective teams.
They will occasionally rotate shifts, and each team now basically has 25-30 people.
Some people were also assigned to the security team.
Now in the combat troops.
Li Bowen is specifically responsible for carrying out various high-precision and difficult special tasks.
Zhong Yu is responsible for assisting Qin Jin in handling tasks that are inconvenient for him to handle.
Zhang Tiankai is mainly responsible for the oil base, regularly returning to maintain the safety and transportation there.
Liu Wenhao is mainly responsible for the transportation route of the Shan City coal base and the situation there.
As for Chen Junchi, he is mainly responsible for the safety and various affairs around the Green Source Base.
It can be said that they all have their main areas of responsibility, and can be changed and dispatched at any time according to the situation.
Compared with the initial five or six people in each team last year, it has definitely expanded many times.
The original main base combat members were also re-graded and became new team leaders to manage the incorporated outsourced members.
Today, Team Li has already set off with the team members and that Engineer Xu, and it is estimated that it will take some time to return.
If all goes well, maybe they can directly bring the airship home!
"I hope everything goes well."
After finishing the happy water in a few gulps, Qin Jin smacked his lips and murmured.
There is another thing that he is a little concerned about, that is, Wang Yang suddenly came to him today, and it turned out that a family member of Zhao Ling appeared outside!
However.
Zhao Ling's attitude towards those relatives seems a bit questionable.
Forget it.
He didn't plan to pay too much attention to it. These are their own family affairs, and he believed that Zhao Ling and the other cadres would handle it well.
Compared to this kind of trivial matter, he is more concerned about the development of the base and the response to subsequent disasters.
Anyway, it is impossible to enter the branch base and the main base without his consent.
The power of Wang Yang, Zhao Ling and others is at most to arrange for the survivors outside to enter several residential areas or Green Source-owned housing near the base.
Let them toss about themselves first.
******
Guangyuan City.
A suburb of Longmen County.
There is a survivor gathering point here, where a dozen or so survivors gathered from the surrounding areas live.
This is a more common model. As long as it is confirmed that the other party does not have any tempting supplies, most survivors can still coexist peacefully.
Everyone can suffer together, but it's not okay for only I to suffer.
As long as we are all on the same level, then everyone is good friends.
The advantage of this is that there are not many people, and it will not attract too many zombies at night.
There can also be personnel who can take turns on night duty, which is a survival model for scattered survivors that is gradually rising.
At this time.
In this enclosed small courtyard, there are three earthen houses around, plus one side blocked by a large bus, which has also become a temporary shelter similar to a quadrangle courtyard.
"It's difficult! The water sources that can be found outside recently are getting less and less, and it hasn't rained for almost a month. If this continues, where will we find water?!"
"Not to mention that crops have no water for irrigation, even our drinking water is troublesome!"
In the center of the courtyard, there is a small piece of land that was reclaimed at some unknown time.
Some uneven plants are sparsely planted on it, and at this time, a man is frowning and talking beside it.
Beside him, there are some men and women, all with worried faces, not knowing what to do.
They are a group of ordinary survivors, who have never thought of harming others, and just want to hide safely and live their lives.
Relying on some sporadic plants and small animals in the wild, and occasional supplies searched from buildings, they survived tenaciously.
They also transplanted the found unfinished plants back to their residence, planning to grow food themselves.
It's just that the survival rate of the transplanted food crops is extremely low, and even if they barely survive, they do not develop normally and hardly see any signs of grain production.
Now even continuing to plant them has become a problem.
There is a shortage of water.
