#595 - Chapter 595 What to do?
Looking at the Shantou Coal Mine Shelter where figures were moving, a group of men on a nearby building were watching with sinister eyes.
Using high-powered telescopes, and being nearly a mile away, under normal circumstances, the other party wouldn't notice them staying here.
Even if they did see them, it wouldn't matter.
Because this coal mine shelter had already become a relatively well-known force in the surrounding area.
They not only possessed high walls but also controlled the only coal mine in this area.
Furthermore, they had established a relationship with a large force to the west, exchanging resources for various supplies.
This was extremely enviable.
Often, external survivors would look around nearby to see if they could join.
There were also some ill-intentioned survivors who would think about whether they could get some benefits from here.
But they couldn't beat them.
This coal mine shelter possessed a certain number of weapons, and ordinary lone survivors couldn't possibly win.
As for other forces in Shantou, they wouldn't provoke this place backed by Green Source for no reason.
The name of Green Source had long been spread to Shantou.
Anyone who wasn't brain-dead and could still live a decent life wouldn't easily think about targeting that place.
Because the name of Green Source was too resounding, readily exterminating entire families, leaving no one alive.
"Let's take action at night! This time, the higher-ups have distributed a lot of good things, enough to create some trouble for this shelter!"
A man in his thirties, dressed neatly and not at all like someone from the post-apocalyptic world, said easily to the people present.
He was someone who had come from Guanglin Province with a mission!
Possessing many guns and weapons, he wasn't afraid of these local lone survivors at all. His purpose here was to complete the task assigned by his superiors: to weaken the strength of Green Source!
"As long as you listen to my command and do things well, this place can be handed over to you to manage in the future! You will be the managers of the Shantou Coal Mine Shelter!"
The man kept making empty promises to these lone survivors, not taking the shelter seriously at all.
Because he was very confident that the things he brought could take it down.
It had been almost a year since the apocalypse.
Having experienced countless trials and tribulations, most of the technological crystallizations that originally existed had long been destroyed. He didn't believe that the coal mine shelter there could withstand his attack!
"Thank you, President Kuang! We will definitely do our best!"
The man who had driven Li Hongwen away, along with his companions, excitedly agreed to this President Kuang, who was neatly dressed.
In the future, they would have the opportunity to manage the coal mine shelter!
This was an extremely great temptation.
Especially since this place was now built and controlled by Li Hongwen!
This man, who they had driven out last year, had actually created a force of this considerable size again in about half a year!
Jealousy was almost distorting their faces!
But they didn't dare to run over to acknowledge him and beg for mercy.
After struggling through last year's cold disaster, they had exhausted most of their supplies and were reduced to ordinary lone survivors, searching for supplies everywhere to survive.
Destitute wasn't enough to describe their situation during this time.
Especially when they saw Li Hongwen's family living better and better while they became more and more down on their luck, the jealousy that devoured their hearts almost drove them crazy!
Pulling them down from grace!
This was the action they all agreed on!
The entire building housed twenty to thirty people. Some of them were from distant Guanglin Province, and some were lone survivors familiar with the coal mine shelter.
Everyone's purpose was the same: to kill the people inside this Green Source remotely controlled coal mine shelter tonight!
Now was not the time.
The things they brought would exert even greater power at night.
Coal Mine Shelter.
Having experienced the drought, this place naturally resumed trading coal resources with Green Source.
Especially with the great development of the Green Source headquarters, the demand for energy increased greatly, and even the demand for coal, the main resource used for power generation, also increased simultaneously.
After obtaining Green Source's demand, Li Hongwen once again expanded the number of people in the shelter, planning to show off his skills!
The great development of Green Source led to a small climax in the coal mine shelter in Shantou.
"Everyone, work harder! It's almost time to get off work! Tonight, our food will increase by 10%!"
Li Hongwen shouted happily towards the personnel in the mine, earning everyone's praise.
This morning, Green Source's coal transport team had just left Shantou, transporting the loaded coal back to headquarters.
They told Li Hongwen that the demand for coal would increase in the future, and the food and supplies for their side would also increase!
At this time, the number of people in the coal mine shelter reached an unprecedented 130. As the leader here, Li Hongwen was tired but happy.
It was very difficult to survive in the apocalypse with so many people.
But being able to do it gave him a sense of accomplishment far greater than being an entrepreneur in peacetime.
Because he almost controlled the lives of most people in the entire shelter.
This was the feeling of power.
As for inside the shelter.
A group of women and a small number of children were doing some handicrafts, cooking, modifying and repairing weapons, reinforcing the shelter's defenses, and so on.
All personnel had their own jobs, contributing to the survival of this place.
Li Cai also led a group of people out to find edible plants and animals, or any useful supplies.
The previous drought had consumed most of their inventory, and the water source had naturally been greatly replenished during the rainfall after the end of the drought.
But there wasn't much food, only some recently obtained after resuming trade with the Green Source base.
The survival pressure was still severe.
It's just that everyone still had hope for the future.
As long as there weren't any overly perverted natural disasters or man-made calamities, they were confident that they could survive.
Night fell quickly.
The personnel working for a day at the coal mine shelter had long returned to the interior to rest.
Li Cai had also returned with the search team long ago.
Everyone sat around in the shelter's large dining hall and carefully ate the porridge they were allotted.
"Today's portion is indeed a little more than usual! Thank you, President Li!"
Someone weighed the slightly thicker porridge made from coarse grains and miscellaneous grains in his hand and quickly praised Li Hongwen, the nominal leader of the shelter.
And quickly gained everyone's agreement.
Most of the personnel here were survivors who had been absorbed before the drought, and only a small part were newcomers who had been absorbed recently.
Everyone got along fairly peacefully.
For many lone survivors outside, being able to enter the coal mine shelter was also an extremely enviable good thing.
After eating dinner, everyone returned to their respective residences to rest.
They did physical labor every day, didn't eat enough, and there wasn't much entertainment at night.
Naturally, personnel would also be arranged to carry out the necessary night watch to defend against the zombies that appeared at night.
Recently, the population of the coal mine shelter had exceeded one hundred, and there were also dozens of hungry zombies surrounding it every night, which was not a small number.
Time came to around midnight.
Seven or eight night watch personnel on the wall were yawning, sometimes walking around, sometimes standing on the wall looking into the distance.
"Hmm?"
"Did you guys hear anything?"
Suddenly.
One of the night watch personnel looked around suspiciously, seeming to notice something, and couldn't help but ask the two companions who were on night watch with him.
"I heard it too, it sounds like a buzzing sound! It seems like the drones I heard before??"
Another person said, looking up to search the sky, and soon really found a few small red dots appearing above the coal mine shelter!!
Are those really drones!?
Where did they come from!?
What are they going to do?
