Chapter 1369 New Challenge

The thunderstorm disaster that lasted for three and a half months ended, and a brilliant rainbow hung in the sky.

The river roared and flowed toward the lowlands.

Zombies retreat to dark places to avoid the sun.

After the rain, the earth was washed clean and translucent.

The green mountains and vast fields once again show vitality and vitality.

The fresh air is filled with the aroma of earth and plants, and the flowers, plants and trees have resumed their growth momentum and are in full bloom.

The water levels of rivers and streams have risen, and the water vapor has filled the air, causing the distant mountains and nearby ridges to reveal their misty silhouettes.

The clouds in the distance have been washed away and look particularly white, like a distant paradise.

The blue sky and white clouds make everything look like a new life.

Big camphor tree base.

The second uncle received news from the third uncle and learned that wall-climbing zombies cannot survive in the sun.

But once night comes, these wall-climbing zombies will definitely appear again.

After they learned that wall-climbing zombies were afraid of ultraviolet rays, they immediately asked He Bing to join forces with his second uncle to produce ultraviolet lamps at full capacity.

The production of ultraviolet lamps does not require high technology, but in the oil city, there are very few raw materials such as glass tubes for making ultraviolet lamps.

In the Da Zhangshu base, you can assemble a lot of UV lamps casually.

In the past, some factories were relocated due to the excavation of bunkers in the inner city, similar to how food processing factories were left in the inner city.

Things like machinery maintenance and daily chemical products processing factories have been relocated to the second outer city.

He Bing, Lao Dong and others suspended their work in the maintenance factory and devoted themselves to manufacturing ultraviolet lamps.

The second uncle came to the factory. The factory had assembly line operations and the production speed was very fast.

“How many UV lamps have been produced now?”

He Bing followed his second uncle and answered:

"So far, 34 units have been produced, and it is now the fastest."

The second uncle nodded. After all, it had only been four hours since he discovered that ultraviolet lights could restrain wall-climbing zombies.

It took an hour to adjust the equipment and find the raw materials.

It takes more than two hours to produce 34 units, and on average, it can produce 12 ultraviolet lamps in one hour. This speed is not slow anymore.

"Three shifts, people rest and the machine does not rest, production is 24 hours a day." The second uncle gave the order.

Both Da Zhangshu Base and Petroleum City need this kind of ultraviolet lamp, but after all, Da Zhangshu Base has three layers of knives, so there is relatively no need to worry.

"Yes, President, these ultraviolet lamps we produce are all high-power. The oil city may need 400 ultraviolet lamps, as for the Da Zhangshu base."

"Do we need to cover the buffer city wall? If we want to cover the buffer city wall, it will take too much. If it doesn't take ten days and a half, it probably won't be possible."

The second uncle shook his head. The buffer city is huge, not to mention that the buffer city has not been built yet.

However, as a result, those collaborators in the fourth outer city may not be able to stay in the buffer city at night.

The buffer city wall is still under construction, and nothing has been built about the mobile gate. If there are wall-climbing zombies at night, they can easily crawl in.

Facing zombies is never a trivial matter. Once zombies enter a dense crowd, it can easily lead to large-scale infection.

"There is no need to consider the buffer city wall for the time being. Let everyone produce at full capacity first."

"Okay, got it."

In the factory, nearly thirty people are making ultraviolet lamps.

Some people didn't quite know how to make it, so Lao Dong, Lao Zhou and others were there to teach them.

When more people learn how to make UV lamps, the speed of making UV lamps will be much faster.

After explaining to He Bing, the second uncle walked out of the factory building.

The thunderstorm natural disaster took a long time to prepare for at the beginning, but it ended so quickly that people were caught off guard.

The thunderstorm and natural disaster is over, and all kinds of things are happening all at once.

The next arrangement for the trading market is that the Dazhangshu Base will continue to produce mobile knives and transport them to Oil City.

Xiaoyu also talked to him about sending people to the northwest to investigate the situation, and this matter will be gradually advanced.

In addition, now that the rain has stopped, the construction of the buffer city will be gradually advanced.

With the emergence of wall-climbing zombies, the satellite cities originally planned to be centered on the Da Zhangshu Base, the nearest 10 kilometers and the furthest more than 100 kilometers away, can only be temporarily abandoned.

Without ultraviolet lights, the satellite city would not be able to house people and would not be able to provide shelter for the vast number of collaborators.

The raw materials for building the buffer city require partners to go out to collect and transport them back, but some materials cannot be found nearby, making it difficult to get back and forth on the same day.

At this time, the satellite city can provide a short one-night shelter.

When it gets brighter the next day and it is safe to do so when the sun comes out, the collaborators will return to the Da Zhangshu Base the next day.

The existence of these satellite cities is equivalent to a fixed and safe shelter for those who cooperate.

But now the emergence of wall-climbing zombies makes it difficult for these collaborators to go out, and even if they go out, they have to find temporary shelter.

It is also more dangerous if you don’t carry a UV lamp.

What's more, they were driving cars loaded with large quantities of construction raw materials.

It's not safe to go out now.

In short, at the heart of it all is the UV light.

Equipping a large number of ultraviolet lamps in a short period of time may be a problem for other forces. If nothing else, they must be charged and battery life must be maintained.

But for the Da Zhangshu Base, it has been more than a year and nearly two years since Zhang San, Lao Dong and others joined in and conducted in-depth research on electric energy.

A large amount of battery raw materials were collected, and people were even sent to the largest battery manufacturer in Gan Province, a few hundred kilometers away from Da Zhangshu, to move all the equipment and lithium battery raw materials there.

Moreover, the Da Zhangshu base can provide a stable and continuous supply of electric energy. The zombie generator technology has become extremely mature after several generations of innovation.

It can maximize the kinetic energy of zombies and convert it into electrical energy. The electrical energy that a unit of zombies can produce is at least 30% more efficient than before.

In the past two years, the fuel vehicles in the Da Zhangshu base have been gradually transformed into trams. Now there are nearly 300 trams, and countless small electric donkeys.

Many of the trams are electric vans and electric trucks.

The shortest cruising range reaches 500 kilometers, and the longest cruising range can reach 2,000 kilometers.

They initially adopted the simplest method of stacking batteries to increase battery life.

Later, the battery was changed from lithium iron carbonate battery to ternary lithium battery, which is smaller in size and saves more electricity per unit.

The second uncle was thinking as he walked towards the first outer city.

Shaking his head, he sighed that the key point of all this was to create the ultraviolet lamp first.

He had no control over the other survivors, but if the people at Da Zhangshu Base wanted to go out, they must be equipped with ultraviolet lamps.

But with this output, there is still a long way to go.

Northern Territory.

The weather has cleared up and the zombie tide has receded.

Cheers echoed from the outer city walls.

It’s so, so difficult.

The leader of the caravan, Ma Ma, also raised his head and looked at the sun in the sky. He had been in a dark environment for a long time, and his eyes were used to the darkness, and some were not used to the light.

Dazzling.

There was a smile on his face, but when he turned around, he saw the brothers around him who were still wet.

He soon stopped laughing.

There were heavy casualties.

In this natural disaster, the caravan suffered more than two-thirds of its casualties.

Not only their caravan, but also the entire force remaining in the city outside the northern border suffered extremely heavy casualties.

The worst thing is the Mighty Gang, which originally had more than 300 people, but now only has more than 50 people left.

The loss rate reached 85%.

This is also because of their internal chaos, the gang leader Gao Weimeng died, and internal fighting led to chaos.

The new gang leader Li Chuhe's abilities were average, which led to this result.

Overall, of the more than 4,000 people who stayed in the north, there are now only more than 1,000 left.

The mortality rate is 60 percent.

"We made it to the end, we made it to the end! Hahaha."

"Look, the zombie tide has receded."

"Gang leader, the Storm Party leader is asking you to come with us for a meeting." A subordinate who came next to Ma Ma also said.

"Um"

Ma Ma was not surprised and walked towards the wall.

During this time, he and eleven other leaders of various forces formed a temporary management committee.

To make any big decision, twelve people need to vote together.

After all, they had been in trouble together for nearly a hundred days, and he was familiar with the leaders of these forces.

Among them, the one who had the best relationship with him was Shan Zheng from the Storm Party. The two of them had known each other before, but they were not so familiar before.

After the thunderstorm disaster has passed, a meeting should be held to discuss what needs to be done next.

Ma Ma was also thankful that he had not entered the northern inner city before, otherwise it would be difficult to explain when people from Oil City came.

Thinking about it, he had already walked outside the meeting house.

As soon as I entered the door, I heard someone laughing inside:

"Hey! Isn't this Gang Leader Mada? Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you."

The atmosphere in the room was very good, everyone was talking and laughing.

After all, the thunderstorm and natural disaster passed, and the dark clouds above their heads completely dissipated.

Ma Ma also raised his head. The person joking with him was Shan Zheng from the Storm Party.

"Old Dan, your face is full of wrinkles when you smile, please stop it." Ma Ma also complained.

At the same time, he sat on a vacant seat.

Everyone sat in a circle.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's talk about what to do next?" Eagle said with a smile, rarely smiling on his face.

Even after the thunderstorm and natural disaster passed, his face still had that rigid expression.

Ma Ma also suppressed the smile on his face.

After pondering for a while, he said: "Although the thunderstorm disaster has passed, we can't leave the north. I personally don't think we should leave here and wait here for the people from Oil City to come back.

We are all gone, so the vast northern border will be empty. Before they left, they asked us to take a good look at the northern border. "

"Huh"

Li Chuhe questioned.

"Oil City may not be able to survive such a horrific natural disaster, so we are just waiting here? How long will it take?"

"impossible."

Shan Zheng frowned and said:

"Everyone present has witnessed the power of Oil City with their own eyes. If we can survive, they will definitely be stronger than us."

"They will definitely come back later. I agree with the caravan leader's suggestion. Let's wait here."

"It's a pity. The radio station Captain Xie left for us was broken, otherwise we would be able to contact them now."

When Third Uncle left the North, he left a radio station for them.

However, when the thunderstorm just started, the radio station was destroyed by the thunderstorm.

So much so that in the past three and a half months, there was no chance to contact Oil City.

Li Chuhe rolled his eyes after hearing Shan Zheng's words.

"Just wait and see, how long will it take?"

"Actually, I think it's not easy for us to survive. Now the food is almost exhausted. I suggest entering the inner city and searching for food."

boom!

Ma Ma also patted the table.

It was also Li Chuhe who said he wanted to enter the inner city last time.

The thunderstorm disaster has passed, but this guy still wants to run in.

"You don't want your life, I want my life."

"Everyone."

Ma Ma also stood up and looked around at everyone.

Said seriously:

"We did not enter the inner city during the thunderstorm. Minister Li and others warned us not to enter the inner city when they left. Now that the thunderstorm is finally over, we ran in instead. What should we do if they come back and see us?"

"Gang Leader Li, I hope you can take a longer-term view."

"This thunderstorm natural disaster has changed greatly, and I still don't know how far-reaching the impact will be, but!"

"Four days ago, that powerful zombie climbed up on the wall of the outer city. How many people died before it was killed! You all can see it!"

“I feel that we cannot disperse now and return to our respective stations, nor can we enter the inner city.

We have to join a group to stay warm and wait for the people from Oil City to arrive. "

Li Chuhe mocked: "Are you going to be a dog for the people in Oil City?"

"you!"

Ma Ma also glared at Li Chuhe and laughed angrily.

"Li Chuhe."

Ma Ma also called him by his first name.

"Originally, when your high-ranking gang leader was here, you didn't dare to say that to me. Who do you think you are? You dare to talk to me like this."

"If you can, just leave the North by yourself. Why are you forcing Lai Lai here?"

Li Chuhe mocked back:

"You have Oil City on your left, and you have Oil City on your right. People in Oil City don't take you seriously at all. To be honest, they asked us to come here just to help guard the gate and help watch the northern border.

You are so loyal and like being a dog so much, why didn't you go to Oil City with them? "

Ma Ma was also irritated and blushed.

I'm about to step forward and fuck him.

Shan Zheng and others next to him also looked unhappy.

According to what Li Chuhe said, it was equivalent to scolding everyone.

Because when they came to the northern border, they were all following orders and conscription from Minister Li and others.

What Li Chuhe said was tantamount to saying that everyone is a dog and a watchdog.

But, having said that, if they don’t come to the north.

Without gathering together and relying on the tall wall in the north, would they be able to survive this natural disaster in their respective locations?

It's hard to say that none of them have this confidence.

Essentially, the people in Oil City saved everyone present by letting them come to the north.

"Okay, let's stop arguing." Eagle saw that the two were about to fight and quickly stopped them.

Shan Zheng also walked over to start a fight, "Forget it, don't be the same as this guy."

Ma Ma also snorted coldly at Li Chuhe and sat on his seat.

There are only dozens of gangs left. Among these twelve people, he, Li Chuhe, is the smallest and the weakest.

He really dared to jump like this. If no one else was present and he met this Li Chuhe outside, he must let him see the cruelty of the end of the world.

I saw the two of them dying.

The Eagle said to the crowd: "Let's vote, stay in the North and wait for Oil City, or leave the North."

He automatically eliminated the option of entering the inner city.

After all, he didn't want to seek death. The people in Oil City had already warned them, but they still dared to run in.

"I stayed."

"I'll stay too."

"I've been staying here for so long, there's no rush for a few days, I'll stay."

An overwhelming vote, eleven to one.

Except for Li Chuhe who chose the second choice, everyone else chose the first one.

Leaders who can lead a force know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and no one is stupid.

Li Chuhe saw that everyone wanted to stay except him.

He lowered his head, and there was a hint of coldness in his eyes that no one else could see.

Li Chuhe was not the leader of the mighty gang before, but one day he killed the leader of the mighty gang, Gao Weimeng, and then he took this position.
