#495 - Chapter 495: Outside the Green Source Belt 1
Qin Jin naturally had no idea that the people who had been spying around the periphery of the Zhushi oil base a few days ago were from the New Hope Base in Guanglin Province.
If he had known, he might have been surprised!
Because he had heard of this New Hope Base in his previous life!
This was a force that had developed into a very large power one or two years after the apocalypse!
It was said that this force possessed a huge number of thermal weapons, as well as several thousand direct personnel scattered around, and thousands more peripheral personnel renting residences!
Its influence radiated to the neighboring Guangnan and Gan provinces!
It was definitely a future behemoth of a shelter!
At that time, Qin Jin, who was wandering around, was fortunate enough to rent a "cave" there and got to know some of the long-term residents, so he knew a lot.
He once suggested to the base cadres that the number of internal personnel in the base should not exceed 500.
This was, of course, just a conventional suggestion.
For some extraordinarily powerful forces, this convention could be broken!
The New Hope Base was one such example.
The Green Source Base was another!
It was also possible that there were some secret and powerful bases that Qin Jin in his previous life did not know about, after all, perhaps some people liked to develop in a low-key manner and did not care about fame.
After thinking for a while about the situation at the Zhushi Oil Base, Qin Jin felt that there were no major problems and began to consider the upcoming drought.
He should have the base cadres help with arrangements these few days to avoid the weather getting too hot and affecting the operation of some equipment.
When the high temperature of sixty or seventy degrees Celsius arrives, many outdoor equipment needs to be protected, otherwise, allowing the high temperature to attack will inevitably cause huge losses.
The greenhouse planting area of the headquarters is also a key object of protection, and the remaining rice and grain must also be harvested by people in the next few days, and the newly found super rice can be planted as soon as the time is ripe.
Also, the large and small residential areas outside will also need to be given some support after the drought arrives. Outdoor work will definitely need to be stopped in that weather, and they can't be left idle. They should be found some work that can be done indoors.
There are really a lot of things to do.
Qin Jin rubbed his temples and then plunged into the busy planning and preparation.
Xiang Province.
This is a province bordering Guangnan Province.
During peacetime, the economy was relatively developed, with a variety of China's key industries, and it was also considered a large province with a medium-to-high population.
At this time.
Here in Ning City.
A third- or fourth-tier city.
About 1,100 kilometers away from Guangyuan City.
Under the scorching sun, a huge airship appeared in the sky above this city!
It was Li Team and others who had set off from Mentang Town to find the secret granary!
They set off from the base headquarters last night, flying at full speed in the high altitude without stopping, and were not too affected by the wind speed. They finally arrived near their destination at about 8 a.m. the next day!
"Miss Yan, we have arrived near the target. Please help point out the specific location so we can confirm it as soon as possible and rush back to the base!"
Li Bowen did not stand on ceremony with Sister Hong and directly asked her to go to the window of the airship to point out the way.
Now they were in the sky above a suburb. There seemed to be some buildings below, but it was not easy to decide where to land because the airship might be at a height of 4-5 kilometers.
Sister Hong nodded without speaking and carefully identified the location by the window.
The last time she came was more than half a year ago. After such a long time, the buildings below had become much more dilapidated and large areas of dry ground had appeared.
After hesitating and identifying for a while, she suddenly said:
"It's in that location! It's called Sun Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, the organization once built a large backup emergency granary to resist any disasters that might occur!"
She stretched out her jade finger and pointed to a large, mostly bare mountain below. There were indeed traces of some buildings there.
"This granary is relatively hidden, located in a remote suburb of Ning City. Apart from a few aborigines living nearby, in theory, no one should come here."
As she explained and pointed the way, other combat troops also craned their necks to look down there.
It could only be said that:
If no one knew the exact information, it would really be difficult to find even if the address was given.
Who would have thought that such an ordinary place would actually be a secret emergency granary!?
With no time to waste, after confirming the location, Team Li ordered the team members operating the airship to find a suitable location and begin to land the airship.
Thanks to the silent characteristics and the hot sun during the day, not even half a zombie appeared when landing on the open space.
"Miss Yan! Please come out with us!"
With all the preparations completed, Team Li and others focused their attention on Sister Hong.
This trip would definitely require this lady to lead the way in person.
Team Li would not let her stay in the airship until they had truly safely seen the food.
Knowing that she could not avoid it, Sister Hong naturally did not intend to refuse.
She said "Okay" and led all the Green Source combat troops members forward...

Fenghe County.
Around Mentang Town.
This area is inhabited by many survivors who have come from afar to trade with Green Source.
In one of the houses about five or six kilometers away from the Green Source area, a small group of seven or eight survivors gathered.
Like other common groups, they arrived too late and did not have any special skills that the base valued, so they could only stay on the periphery and exchange some of the materials that Green Source needed for a small amount of food that could keep them alive.
"Brother, it's almost impossible to find any useful materials outside recently! Are we still staying here? I feel like we should leave here and find another way to survive!"
A disheveled man with a scruffy beard said with a troubled expression to another middle-aged man.
They were a group of very ordinary survivors.
The team consisted of four adults, three women, and one child.
Everyone was either married or related as relatives and friends, relying on each other to resist bad people, and they had been living hard until now.
"Hey, I also want to leave, but where can we go? Other places are not necessarily better than here!"
"At least here, most survivors do not kill each other and eat people. I heard that cannibalism is happening everywhere outside! A group like ours with women and children will probably be caught by those cannibal groups before long!"
The middle-aged man sighed with a worried look, feeling deeply powerless.
This world is really too difficult for women and children.
If it were just us men, it would be better. We could go out and venture to find a new place to live.
Now most of the materials outside the Green Source area have been swept away, and even the edible plants that grow outdoors have not been left much and have been pulled out and collected by the survivors.
Recently, quite a few survivors have actually started to leave here and go to farther places to find a way to survive.
Most of those who stay here are like them, who do not want to go out and value the relatively harmonious atmosphere outside the Green Source area.
It's just that.
Survival has become increasingly difficult recently.
The weather is so hot that normal people simply cannot stay outdoors for a long time. Even if they stay indoors, they need to try their best to resist the tormenting heat wave.
Moreover.
It has become increasingly difficult to find water outside recently.
