Chapter 1457 Agreement reached, strength surges! (6000 words)

8 o'clock the next morning.

Big camphor tree base.

Li Yu brought Song Min and others to the fourth outer city. More than an hour ago, Song Min had someone send breakfast to Tiger Lord and others.

Tiger Lord may have been worried, so he didn't sleep well last night.

But lying in bed last night, he couldn't hear the roar of the zombies outside at all. It was quiet, and even the moonlight sprinkled into the room through the window, giving him an inexplicable sense of security.

The buffer city is very large, isolating the ordinary zombies outside.

The distance between the buffer city and the outer city is enough to eliminate the movement of the zombies outside the buffer city.

"Tiger Lord, City Lord Li and others are here." A member of the guard team saw Li Yu and others walking in the distance at the door, and hurried back to the room to inform Tiger Lord.

Tiger Lord heard the words and looked at Tang Ji and others, "Help me to the wheelchair."

Tang Ji and the others immediately went over, one pushed the wheelchair over, and Tang Ji picked up Tiger Lord and carried Tiger Lord to the wheelchair.

Because of his illness, Tiger Master's weight dropped from 145 pounds to less than 100 pounds.

Tang Ji was very easy to hold him.

When Li Yu, Song Min and others entered the room, Tiger Master was already sitting steadily in a wheelchair.

"Morning, Lord Li."

"Tiger Master, how did you sleep last night?" Li Yu asked with a smile.

"Very good, it's very quiet here."

Li Yu glanced at Tang Ji, then looked at Tiger Master and said:

"We were short of time yesterday, so we only took you to see the second outer city. Now I will take you to our wall to have a look, so you can see more comprehensively."

Tiger Master's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Okay."

He was actually quite curious about the mobile gate knife at the big camphor tree base yesterday, but because he was not very clear on the ground, if he could go up the wall and look down, it should be clearer.

"Please." Li Yu made a gesture of invitation.

Before Tiger Master could signal Tang Ji, Tang Ji pushed Tiger Master out.

After leaving the room, Li Yu and Tiger Lord walked side by side and briefly introduced the situation in the Fourth Outer City.

Li Yu brought few people this time, only Song Min and Li Tiesan and four others.

So Tiger Lord asked the members of the escort team to stay here, and only let Tang Ji and Doctor Zhang go with him.

"There is a Taoist temple behind this. If I have time later, I can take you to see it."

Tiger Lord looked at the many greenhouses in the Fourth Outer City and asked:

"How many greenhouses are there in this Fourth Outer City? I came all the way here, and there were greenhouses all around."

"120, each greenhouse is 2 acres in size."

After hearing this number and size, Tiger Lord, Tang Ji and Doctor Zhang's breathing became rapid.

They went to see the greenhouse yesterday. The height of the greenhouse was seven or eight meters. Some of the greenhouses were stacked with shelves. There were three layers in a two-acre space, which played the effect of six acres.

This greenhouse in the Fourth Outer City alone has hundreds of acres of planting area.

Moreover, the space utilization rate in the greenhouse is extremely high, even reaching the effect that can only be achieved by laying thousands of acres on the ground.

Most importantly, the temperature, water source, and light can be controlled in the greenhouse, and crops can be grown all year round.

Tiger Lord thought to himself: No wonder the camphor tree base has always seemed to have no shortage of food. With such a stable and large supply of food, there is no need to worry about the food problem.

It’s just that with so many greenhouses, the water source required is easy to solve, but how to solve the huge amount of electricity required?

The entire camphor tree base is so large in scale that the power consumption must be amazing.

I didn’t see their power plant yesterday. If it only relies on solar power generation, it will definitely not be able to meet the power consumption needs of such a large base.

Then, Li Yu took Tiger Lord and his team to the bottom of the outer city wall and took the elevator to the outer city wall.

The outer city wall is 58 meters high. In the bulletproof glass of the elevator, you can see that they are getting farther and farther away from the ground.

The wall of the Southern Paradise is only half as high as this side. Standing on the 58-meter wall, Tiger Lord Tang Ji and his team have a completely different feeling from being in the Southern Paradise.

Tiger Lord's wheelchair was raised so that he could see the surrounding situation over the parapet of the wall.

After Tiger Lord and the other two climbed the wall, they began to look at the situation above.

The width of the outer city wall reached 7.5 meters, and even two cars could drive side by side.

Wide.

Every distance above, there is a fixed ultraviolet lamp installed. Once it is night, the ultraviolet lamp can be pushed out and turned on to shine outside the wall.

On the side close to the city, there is a hanging street lamp every five meters on the parapet.

These street lamp lines are hidden in the wall.

Walking all the way, every fifty meters, there is a protruding wall, about twenty square meters in area.

Heavy weapons such as anti-aircraft machine guns, anti-aircraft guns, mortars, etc. are placed on it.

These protruding walls can form a perfect triangular firepower network with the parallel walls.

And if you look at it from a higher perspective, you will find that there are dozens of such concentrated firepower points on the inner and outer city walls of the Dazhangshu base.

Such firepower points form an aerial network that can not only clear the threats from the ground, but also resolve the threats from the air.

When Tiger saw these brutal weapons, his dry hands slightly tightened the armrests of the wheelchair.

Damn brutal!

The firepower of this Da Zhangshu base is too brutal!

Yesterday, we saw those heavy artillery pieces with terrifyingly large barrels in the Second Outer City. They should be ground defense points, and what we see now should be the wall defense network.

"City Lord."

"City Lord."

From time to time, several patrol officers riding yellow electric donkeys and carrying automatic rifles passed by and stopped to say hello to Li Yu.

"Yes." Li Yu nodded in response to every combatant who stopped.

"City Lord Li, do you basically use a small electric donkey to ride? It's quite unique." Mr. Hu looked at the patrol members walking away and asked Li Yu with admiration.

He is well aware of the advantages of this small electric donkey, which is convenient, small in size and can be lifted by one person.

But where are all the batteries and electricity coming from?

Faced with this question, Li Yu had no choice but to answer:

"There is nothing we can do about it. The base area is too big. If we just rely on running, the speed will be too slow."

"Actually, it's not just the wall. Our entire Da Zhangshu Base has implemented small electric donkeys for transportation. We have set up 2 charging stations and 30 charging piles on the wall. We have also set up 20 charging stations in the inner and outer cities, and more than 300 charging stations. charging pile.

There are actually about a dozen charging stations and more than 200 charging piles in the buffer city. "

Mr. Hu swallowed his saliva and was even more surprised when he heard that there were six hundred charging stations alone.

"Can these small electric donkeys be used at will? How many small electric donkeys are there in total?"

Li Yu smiled and nodded:

"Of course, some models, like the pre-apocalyptic bicycle sharing and electric vehicle sharing, are also for the convenience of everyone."

"As for e-mules, a total of two thousand e-mules have been invested, which can basically meet the travel needs of our base."

Mr. Hu heard the implication. Li Yu was talking about investment, not ownership.

The investment means that the current population of Da Zhangshu Base only needs so many e-mules, instead of them only having two thousand e-mules.

From yesterday to today, Master Hu, who had been shocked countless times, once again expressed emotion.

"Sometimes I doubt that we live in two worlds, alas."

The difference is huge.

The Southern Paradise that he leads has been fighting against hunger and zombies for the past five or six years.

All he thinks about all day long is how to accumulate more food, and he is always worried about food shortages.

Thinking about how they would face the terrifying zombie wave if a heavy rain came.

However, looking at the Da Zhangshu base, I am already thinking about how to improve convenience and run in a more comfortable direction.

Moreover, I thought that the firepower over there in Oil City was already very strong.

The fire defense at Da Zhangshu Base is even more ridiculously strong!

The past two days have really shocked Mr. Hu. He even felt that Da Zhangshu Base was willing to take them to play in the Southern Paradise, let them do trading fairs together, and even gave them a portion of the profits.

I really admire them!

Mr. Hu couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He didn't know if City Lord Li could see their southern paradise.

After all, for the current situation of Da Zhangshu Base, in his opinion, there is no need to take over.

You are living a good life, so why put yourself under the pressure of feeding more than 3,000 people?

"Master Tiger."

Seeing Master Hu in a daze, Li Yu suddenly called him.

"Huh?" Master Hu turned his head and looked at Li Yu.

"Master Hu came here to meet me. What's the main reason?"

Mr. Hu was not surprised when faced with the sudden inquiry, and it was exactly what he wanted.

Originally, he thought that Li Yu was not going to take the initiative to ask. Just now he was thinking about how he should start this topic.

Master Hu stretched out his hand to tell Tang Ji, who was pushing him from behind, to stop pushing forward.

He said to Tang Ji: "Take Dr. Zhang and wait for me over there. City Master Li and I have something to talk about alone."

Li Yu saw that Master Hu wanted to chat alone, so he said to Song Min and others:

"You all should withdraw as well and lead Mr. Hu's people over there."

Li Yu pointed to a sentry tower not far away.

"yes."

Song Min wisely led Tang Ji, Li Tie and others away from here, and told the combatants who were passing by on both sides not to pass by and to turn around.

Master Hu turned the wheelchair with difficulty, looked at Li Yu, and said to Li Yu solemnly:

"City Lord Li, I am seriously ill and I will die soon."

"Master Hu, don't say that. Ji people have their own destiny."

Before Li Yu could finish speaking, Master Hu stretched out his hand to stop Li Yu from speaking.

"City Lord Li, please listen to what I have to say first, okay?"

Facing such an old man with white hair and skinny bones, it was naturally impossible for Li Yu to refuse.

His expression became much more serious, he nodded to Mr. Tiger and said:

"Okay, you tell me and I listen."

Master Hu took a long breath and slowly said:

"The reason I came to the Zhangshu Base this time is to talk to City Master Li about whether you are willing to take over the Southern Paradise."

"This is some supplies that our Southern Paradise has accumulated over the years, as well as various equipment, weapons and ammunition. They are all in it. If you are willing to take over Southern Paradise, these supplies, including people, everything can be packed up. for you."

With that said, he took out the supplies list he had prepared in advance from his arms and handed it to Li Yu.

Li Yu looked a little surprised. While taking the manual handed over by Master Hu, he asked:

"Master Tiger, why don't you let your own people take your place?"

Master Tiger's eyes lit up when he saw Li Yu take the manual.

Since he took it, it means that at least City Lord Li has some intention.

"There is no suitable candidate, and now the Southern Paradise, I'm not going to hide the joke from you, we are only one week away from running out of food. All our reserve food can only sustain our people for one week, and after one week, we will be completely out of food."

After Li Yu got the manual, he kept flipping through it, reading ten lines at a glance. His memory is amazing, and he will never forget it after reading it.

His expression seems to have not changed, but his heart has already set off a wave.

Although this Southern Paradise looks weak, it really has some background.

The equipment of light industry is very complete, grain processing industry, oil industry, sugar industry, cigarette industry, tea industry, brewing industry. A full set of equipment

There is also a textile industry, medical equipment, also fully equipped.

However, even if Southern Paradise has these equipment, they are basically all stopped.

Let alone the food processing industry, how can it be processed without grain.

In the sugar industry, the raw materials for sugar production mainly include sweet potatoes and sugar cane. How can sugar be produced without sweet potatoes and sugar cane? If there were sweet potatoes, they would have been eaten as staple food long ago.

The sugar and salt used to trade with Oil City before were also the stocks hoarded before. After repeated transactions, they were eaten up and became less and less.

South Paradise is located in South City. Before the end of the world, the light industry there was developed. Two years before the end of the world, Tiger Lord swept the surrounding factories and transported the materials and equipment produced in them back to South Paradise, thinking about making a big move in the future.

But man's plans are not as good as God's plans. Under the threat of natural disasters and zombies, the most basic safety and filling the stomach have not been solved, so how can we develop factories?

Li Yu saw that the equipment above was quite complete, but the sugar and salt were almost gone.

It was the medicine column that made Li Yu excited.

This must be a few pharmaceutical factories swept! Too many!

Although medicines have a shelf life, they are not unusable after the expiration date, but the efficacy will be reduced a lot.

But as long as the medicines are still effective and can save people, no one cares how long the shelf life has passed.

Li Yu turned another page and asked, "I remember when I came to South Paradise before, I heard you say that Crazy is one of your founders. Why don't you let him take over?"

"He doesn't want to. I asked him, and he doesn't want to take over."

"Why?"

"Maybe he is tired, and he doesn't have enough confidence to lead South Paradise."

Li Yu flipped through the manual very quickly, reading ten lines at a glance. In just a short while, he had read dozens of pages.

But this manual is indeed thick. After all, it is a list of all the supplies of the entire base, and it is only a rough record.

Li Yu used his thumb to pinch the page he saw, raised his head, and looked at Tiger Lord.

"What are your requirements?"

Tiger Lord has only said that he will take over South Paradise so far, and took out the list of supplies to attract him.

It is naturally impossible to have no requirements.

Tiger Lord has a far-reaching gaze, looking over the wall at the buffer city under construction.

"The first request is, don't let my brothers starve to death!"

"My brothers have been with me for many years and have suffered a lot. I don't want them to starve to death after being taken in!"

"They can die on the battlefield, but they must not starve to death."

"So, Lord Li, you have to feed them. This is the first requirement and prerequisite for taking over the Southern Paradise. If this cannot be achieved, there is no need to talk."

It can be seen that Tiger Lord really values ​​his subordinates.

He regards their lives as his own. As long as they don't betray him, Tiger Lord has always treated his subordinates very well.

Li Yu quite agrees and appreciates this.

After Tiger Lord finished speaking, he turned his head and looked straight at Li Yu, with expectation, nervousness, and a hint of pleading in his eyes.

Li Yu was moved by Tiger Lord's pleading and remembered the first time in his previous life, when he stood behind the crowd and saw Tiger Lord from afar.

At that time, Tiger Lord was full of vigor and vitality. Although he was not young, he was still vigorous and powerful, with a heroic temperament.

Or he was a hero, who led thousands of people to survive in this cruel apocalypse.

Carrying a heavy burden and moving forward.

If I had not been reborn, I might not be as good as Tiger Lord.

"Okay."

Li Yu agreed to Tiger Lord without hesitation.

"I will give all the brothers in Southern Paradise the status of non-staff personnel. You should know the four-level system of the Big Camphor Tree Base. Non-staff personnel will have a guaranteed food subsidy every week. As long as the Big Camphor Tree Base is not destroyed, they will never starve to death with these guaranteed food.

In addition, whether they are on duty or participating in construction, transportation, escort and other tasks, they will have points, and they can get these points to deduct food."

"In the future, I plan to let these brothers move directly to the trading market, and then they will be responsible for protection and basic maintenance work."

Tiger Lord heard Li Yu say this, and his breathing was a little rapid.

He originally thought that Li Yu would bargain with him, but what he saw in the Dazhangshu Base over the past two days made him a little unconfident.

So he lowered the conditions for letting the Dazhangshu Base take over the Southern Paradise.

When the last request was made, there was only one request: to be able to fight to death and not to starve to death.

"Thank you." Mr. Hu's eyes were slightly red, and he said these two words to Li Yu sincerely.

Li Yu looked at him quietly, waiting for him to make his second request.

"The second request is that I, Li Qilan, have only one blood relative like Azheng in this world. City Lord Li, can you take care of my grandson after my death?"

"I don't want him to be rich and powerful, but I want him to be able to live."

"Okay, when the time comes, I will bring him to the Da Zhangshu base, train him, and let him go to school. Let Ma Yingxue take care of him personally." Li Yu agreed.

He continued to ask: "What other requests do you have? Let me tell you all."

Master Hu thought for a while and asked: "Be kind to my brothers and don't let them."

"Don't worry, after they join the Da Zhangshu Base, as non-staff personnel, they will definitely have everything they should have, and they will be treated equally. Is there anything else?"

Master Hu hesitated to speak, but actually he still had a lot to say.

But those are no longer important.

There are two things he cares about most:

The brothers under his command can survive.

Second, grandson Azheng can be well taken care of.

"No more." Master Hu shook his head and replied.

Then he took out another list from his arms.

"This is the list of people under my command. I have set standards for some of the people I think are more capable. I have a record of everyone's strengths and characteristics. I leave this list to you."

Li Yu was a little surprised when he heard this. Master Hu didn't have to give him this list.

But if Li Yu has this list, he will save the time of trying to understand the people in Southern Paradise. It will be clear at a glance who is good at what and who can be reused.

Master Hu knows that he is going to die soon, so there is no need to mess with this list and deliberately disgust himself.

This manual I gave myself before I died is full of gold.

Some of the people on this list show that Mr. Tiger is really optimistic.

This saves Li Yu a lot of trouble and time.

I took it and looked through it briefly.

First of all, the first one is Chen Er, with a detailed introduction about Chen Er.

Li Yu had a good impression of Chen Er.

Loyal, responsible, enthusiastic, strong communication skills, and good leadership skills.

He glanced briefly, then looked at Master Hu and said:

"Master Hu, I accept it."

"How will it work next? Should I send someone directly to receive it?"

Lord Tiger replied:

"Okay, I have to go back and announce this to my brothers and do some ideological work for them, so that you can take over."

"What are your plans for the future? You personally." Li Yu asked.

Mr. Hu laughed at himself and said, "What can we have planned?"

"When I go back this time, I will wait to die in the Southern Paradise. Being able to watch the base I built with my own hands die will be considered a death with no regrets."

Li Yu took a deep breath and said:

“Our Da Zhangshu base has good medical care and a good environment. Yesterday I told our base’s expert doctors about your symptoms and they said they can keep you alive for up to half a year.

It can be three months more than the three months you mentioned before. In addition, I will also let our Chinese medicine team work together to find ways to treat you.

And when you retire, the pressure will not be so great, and your mood will be better, you may be able to live for a while longer, and if nothing else, you can also spend more time with your grandson. "

"How about I ask Xiao Jun to go back to the Southern Paradise with you for two days this time and arrange it. Come back to the Zhangshu Base in two days. This place is more suitable for recuperation."

Master Hu listened to what Li Yu said, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.

No one wants to die early if they can live longer.

Even if it is painful while alive, it is meaningful for Master Hu to live for a while.

Being able to watch Oil City take over Southern Paradise, and also being able to spend some time with my grandson.

What's more, I spent a lot of time walking around Da Zhangshu in the past two days.

To be able to die in such a beautiful place at the last moment of my life.

It seems quite wonderful to be able to live in such a place in the apocalypse.

Even if it's only a few months.

"Okay." Mr. Hu's face was undisguisedly moved, and he nodded quietly to Li Yu.

(Ask for monthly ticket)
