Chapter 1227 Tons of Grain Reserves

Big camphor tree base.

In the interrogation room, there were constant bursts of tragic wailing.

Zhong Huasheng and his companions looked at the cannon holding the scalpel as if they were looking at demons.

These few hours were the longest hours of their lives.

Cannon looked at the people who had been tortured by him and put down the scalpel.

He said to the pale Meng Yu and Liu Pengfei next to him:

"Please treat their wounds."

Liu Pengfei looked at the dense wounds on these people and felt a little troubled.

Regardless of their difficulties, Cannon picked up a towel from the shelf nearby, wiped the blood off his face, then asked the two guards to look at these people and walked out of the interrogation room.

After walking out of the interrogation room, it was already dark outside.

Dapao looked at the residence in the distance, remembering that Song Min had come to visit the class just now, and walked towards the residence in a happy mood.

The other side.

Li Yu was sitting on the sofa on the first floor of the villa, watching the LCD TV playing the anime he had downloaded before the end of the world.

He was reborn half a year before the apocalypse broke out, so he had plenty of time to prepare.

Not only have they stocked up on a large amount of supplies, they have even downloaded books, movies, TV series, variety shows, etc.

There are millions of movies and TV series to watch.

The movie was playing an animation of The Seven Heroes of Rainbow Cat and Blue Rabbit. Li Kaitai sat on the sofa and watched intently.

Li Keai's round eyes widened, and her focused gaze made people laugh after seeing it.

Li Yu smiled and touched Li Keai's head. This animation was once his childhood memory, but looking back now, it actually has a different flavor.

"It's time to eat!" Mother Li called out.

Li Yu gently pulled Yutong up, then looked at Li KeAi, "Hei KeAi, let's go to eat."

Li Kaitai was completely unaware, as if she hadn't heard it.

Li Yu had no choice but to pick up Li Keai's clothes with one hand and lift her to the toddler chair in front of the dining table.

Li Kaitai glanced at Li Yu angrily, and then looked towards the TV in the living room.

"Uncle, I still want to watch TV." Li Keai said pitifully to Li Yu.

Li Yu walked over without hesitation and turned off the TV.

"Wow!" Li Keai burst into tears.

Yutong rolled her eyes at Li Yu and walked over to comfort the child.

But I didn’t continue to turn on the TV. Some things must be taught from an early age.

What should be done under what circumstances.

When Li Kaitai stopped crying, the food was placed on the dining table.

Father Li, Mother Li, Li Hang, Ding Qingqing, Li Yuan and others were all there.

This is a small family gathering to celebrate Li Yu's return.

On the dinner table.

The family was enjoying themselves and chatting for some leisurely time.

"Brother, you scared us when you crashed before. Please tell us carefully." Li Hang looked at Li Yu and asked curiously.

Everyone looked at Li Yu, they were all very curious about this matter.

Li Yu pondered for a while, then slowly said:

"The helicopter broke down. Fortunately, Yu Wei responded in time and made an emergency landing in a virgin forest. We met some zombie monkeys there."

"Then a young boy named Wang Dong appeared. He took us out of the virgin forest. After coming out, he saw the third uncle's helicopter, and then he took the third uncle's helicopter to go to the north. Now this Wang Dong is in the north. Over there, I'm following my third uncle."

"Actually, it's nothing, just a small accident."

Li Yu told the general story in an understatement.

Although he skipped a lot of details, everyone could still feel the thrill from his descriptions.

In the primeval forest, it is already dark.

What's more, it's still night, and the zombie monkey knows how terrifying it is without even thinking about it.

After listening to this, Mother Li looked at Li Yu with distressed eyes.

The eldest son often runs away to support their family and even the Da Zhangshu Base. The hardships and hardships involved are unimaginable.

Li Hang also felt a little uncomfortable and said:

"Brother, I'm already a father. Your burden is too heavy. I want to help you! I know it's for my own good that you let me stay at the base, but I don't want to mess around either."

Li Yu sighed after hearing this.

The reason why he allowed Li Hang to stay in the base was to continue training in rotation.

I just thought that while I was away, Li Hang could stay at the base and take care of his family.

But Li Hang is a person who can't bear his temper. It's actually unfair to him that he keeps letting him stay at the base.

After thinking for a while, Li Yu said to Li Hang:

"Let's do this. You stay at the mechanical maintenance factory for a while. There will be missions in Oil City or the North Territory later. I'll let you try it."

Hearing Li Yu say this, Li Hang almost jumped up.

He excitedly said to Li Yu: "Brother! You are really my dear brother!"

Li Yu glanced at him: "."

if not?

He's your big brother!

But after Ding Qingqing heard the conversation between the two, there was a hint of worry in her eyes.

But she didn't say anything.

Afterwards, everyone chatted about other things.

After dinner.

Li Yu found his second uncle in the villa next door.

The second uncle spent most of his time in the duty room. On this day, he returned to the residential area early to rest.

The second uncle was making hot tea on the balcony and playing with the green radish he raised at home.

"His dad, Xiaoyu is here." The second aunt said to the second uncle.

Then he looked at Li Yu with a smile and said:

"Xiaoyu, come on, come in first."

The second uncle heard Li Yu coming, so he put the water bottle in his hand on the table next to him.

"Xiaoyu is here, let's drink tea."

With that said, he took a clean cup and poured Li Yu a cup of hot tea.

"Second uncle."

Li Yu sat on the chair and looked at the night sky outside.

"Second uncle, when I first came back, I saw that the bunkers in the base were almost completed. Now, if we count the previous underground warehouses and plantations, how much area is there in total?"

The second uncle thought for a while and replied:

"Well, the total underground area is about sixty acres."

"Including thirty acres in the inner city, fifteen acres in the second outer city, five acres in the first outer city, and ten acres in the third outer city."

Li Yu said softly: "Sixty acres?"

He nodded and said:

"That's not bad, but I want to continue to expand the area of ​​the bunker. The fourth outer city is relatively large. Let's increase the area of ​​the bunker by another twenty acres."

The second uncle was surprised when he heard this and said:

"Sixty acres is already a lot. We have been building these bunkers for half a year, and we have never stopped except for natural disasters."

"Moreover, it seems that it is difficult to build the bunker now. It is better to wait until the third layer of the wall is built and then open up an area outside as a place for planting."

From the second uncle's perspective, the current bunker is somewhat saturated.

Maybe it was because of defense issues that so many bunkers were built before.

But now that the strength of the Da Zhangshu Base has increased so much, and so many bunkers have been built, it is completely unnecessary.

And even if it is a natural disaster, as long as there is no extremely serious earthquake, the greenhouse can still support it.

Moreover, their place does not belong to a volcanic and seismic zone, and there has never been an earthquake.

Li Yu picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea and said:

"Second uncle, be prepared for a rainy day. I encountered zombie monkeys when I was in the virgin forest, and in the past two years, there have been more and more mutated zombies."

"You've seen zombies that survive a headshot before, as well as zombies with nuclear radiation. This shows that these zombies are undergoing some changes that we don't know about. We don't know what they will look like in the future."

"There has not been much progress in the zombie antidote. We always have to think more about the future."

The second uncle frowned and asked:

"Is the future really pessimistic?"

Li Yu sighed. It was naturally impossible for him to tell his second uncle.

His five years of prophetic vision were almost up, with only the last few months left.

He had no idea what would happen in a few months.

And he experienced the cruel apocalypse in his previous life, which caused him to be extremely insecure and like to prepare for the worst.

I couldn't tell my second uncle this, so he said:

"Although everything in our base is developing well now, there is no guarantee that we will encounter difficulties and problems in the future."

"The trading market may bring us great benefits, but opportunities and risks coexist. I think no matter what the situation is, our headquarters will still have the ability to preserve our strength."

Hearing Li Yu say this, the second uncle frowned even more tightly.

From Li Yu's words, he could tell that Li Yu was a little nervous.

He began to wonder if Li Yu had encountered something while he was out, but Li Yu basically talked to him on the radio.

Maybe it's because I've been at the headquarters base for too long and haven't seen the situation outside with my own eyes, so I can't really understand it.

Thinking of this, the second uncle suddenly said:

"Xiaoyu, I know about the bunker, and I will push forward."

"In addition, I told you last time that I have stayed at the base for too long. I have never left the Zhangshu Base since the outbreak of the apocalypse. I want to go to Oil City and the North to investigate."

"Here at the base, if you won't leave for a while, how about I leave it to you first?"

Li Yu put down the tea cup in his hand and turned his head to look at his second uncle. From his eyes, Li Yu understood that his second uncle really wanted to go out for a walk.

My uncle had gone on a mission to the Western Alliance before, and he had been responsible for external patrols recently, so he went out a lot.

But the second uncle has really been staying at the Da Zhangshu base since the apocalypse broke out.

Going out was a good thing, as it would help him gain a more intuitive understanding of the current situation.

So Li Yu nodded and said:

"Okay, second uncle, when do you plan to go out?"

The second uncle felt happy when he heard that Li Yu agreed.

He opened his mouth and said, "The day after tomorrow? I'll hand over the matter at hand to you."

Li Yu's scalp went numb when he heard that his second uncle was going to hand over the specific operations of the base to him.

Basically every time he came back, his second uncle would take out a small notebook on the base's industry, agriculture, material inventory, and construction progress, and report to him one by one.

He gets a little dizzy every time he hears it.

It’s too cumbersome and has too many details.

This is only a matter on the Da Zhangshu Base side. In Oil City and the Northern Territory, they also use the radio to communicate with the Da Zhangshu Base every day, and some details have to be discussed with the second uncle.

Therefore, the second uncle always stayed in the duty room, which almost became his office.

If he left all this matter in his own hands, he felt that he wouldn't have time to rest before his second uncle came back.

So he said:

"Second uncle, I think the matters in the outer city can be left to He Chao for the time being, and the matters in the inner city can be left to Li Tie and Xiaohang."

"You can come to me for some big things, and leave other specific things to them. I believe they can handle it."

"Besides, if you bring a radio station, Xiaohang and the others can contact you if they can't solve the problem. Anyway, it's convenient if you bring a radio station."

Li Yu didn't want to deal with these minutiae of internal affairs.

After running outside for more than a month, he finally returned to the base and had to devote so much energy to managing the base. He felt that he didn't have that much patience.

"this"

The second uncle hesitated for a while and saw that Li Yu really didn't want to manage these internal affairs.

So I had to say:

"Okay, I'll hand it over to them tomorrow."

"Yeah" Li Yu nodded.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Let him kill people and kill zombies, and he has no objection.

But he was extremely resistant to asking him to deal with the tedious internal affairs.

After the two talked about the matter.

The second uncle mentioned one more thing.

"Xiaoyu, more and more people have defected to our Da Zhangshu base recently. During the time you left, nearly two hundred people have come over and want to join our Da Zhangshu base as partners?"

Li Yu frowned when he heard this. He remembered that in Xin City, scattered survivors were rarely encountered, so why were there so many people.

So he asked:

"Are they all from the neighborhood? I remember there weren't so many before."

The second uncle said:

"Our base now has more frequent outings than before. More and more people know about our Zhangshu base, so some people from neighboring cities also come here."

Li Yu asked: "How to deal with this group of people?"

The second uncle explained:

"It's still the same as before, temporarily letting them collect supplies and exchange them for food. Of course, now because we have to build the third layer of walls, we mainly let them collect some building materials."

"After completing three mission transactions, I officially became a partner."

"After completing ten complete task transactions, they were allowed to enter the third layer of the wall to participate in the construction project."

The second uncle's arrangement was still very reasonable, and Li Yu felt relieved after hearing this.

"Have their origins been registered?"

The second uncle nodded and said: "Yes, it will be registered after the first cooperation, and your uncle and others will also be asked to review it secretly."

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded.

To make the base bigger, it will definitely need manpower.

The current Da Zhangshu base is different from the past. The area of ​​the base is now several times larger than before.

After the third and fourth outer cities were successfully built, the planting area doubled and the food output also doubled.

If you can feed more people, you can naturally accommodate more manpower.

However, you still have to be more cautious.

So Li Yu said:

"Is there any pressure on food?"

The second uncle shook his head and said, "No."

"The cooperating staff basically have food only after they have done something."

"There are less than 2,000 people in the inner and outer cities that we really need to support. The pressure is not great, but the food surplus each quarter is not much."

Li Yu heard this and asked quickly: "Where is the food storage?"

"Staying at around 1,700 tons, which is an increase of 300 tons compared to last year, of which 200 tons were transported from the north." The second uncle replied.

1,700 tons of grain is enough to feed 8,000 people for nearly a year.

This is enough.

Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's good."

Regarding the materials in the warehouse, it was impossible for the second uncle to lie to himself.

Because Li Yuan and Yu Tong have always been in charge of this warehouse, if the data mentioned by the second uncle is different from what Li Yuan said, they will know immediately.

In this apocalyptic world, food is the most important thing.

No food means riots.

It means absolute instability.

There are two factors of stability. One is enough food, which is to stabilize people's hearts.

One is powerful enough firepower, which is to frighten those who are interested.
