Chapter 1649 Tons of Food

One general is incompetent and the three armies are exhausted.

Although Zhu Xiao and Guo Peng on the northern border belong to the militia brigade, they are considered to be the most capable team in the militia brigade.

But now, under the leadership of Lao Xie, it seems that it has lost some of its energy.

Li Yu had a gloomy face and remained silent.

I did not continue to argue with Lao Xie about the threats from the incoming gangsters and American soldiers.

When Lao Xie saw that Li Yu was silent, he asked awkwardly:

"City Lord, where do you want to go next?"

"Take me to the warehouse to have a look." Li Yu glanced at him and said.

Later, Lao Xie, Xie Weishan and others took Li Yu and his party to the northern warehouse.

The Northern Warehouse is located not far from the City Lord's Mansion and has three buildings.

There is now a bumper harvest of grain in the north, and the grain is stored in one of the buildings.

There were two combatants guarding the door of the storage building. When they saw Li Yu and his party approaching, they turned around and opened the storage door.

Xie Weishan jogged to the warehouse building and turned on the light with a click.

Da da da——

One of the incandescent lamps on the ceiling lights up.

Illuminating the entire warehouse aisle and hall.

"City Lord, this building stores all food. There are two floors underground and five floors above ground. There are seven floors in total, and more than 13,000 tons of food are stored."

As he spoke, the No. 1 warehouse next to him opened and the lights inside were turned on.

It is best to store grain in a dark, low-temperature, dry environment.

This warehouse features rows of shelves filled with corn that has been drying for a week.

These corns are naturally dried and can be stored for a longer period of time after being dehydrated.

There was also a breeze blowing in the room.

"City Lord, there hasn't been much sunshine recently. It should have been dried for a while to meet the storage standards, but now that they are all harvested, I might as well put them in the storage room first, and let the continuous wind blow dry the moisture through ventilation equipment."

Li Yu stepped forward. The shelf was about three meters high. He walked to the innermost position and took out a stick of corn from the next shelf.

After the corn was dried, the overall appearance was a bit dry, but there was no mold or fungi, so it seemed to be well preserved.

He checked a few corns on several other shelves, and after finding that the corns were well stored, he walked out of the storage room.

"How do you prevent rats?" Li Yu asked.

Xie Weishan, who was about to follow him out of the granary, stopped.

Pointing to the ventilation equipment at the bottom, he said:

"First, set up ventilation equipment: Set up ventilation equipment at the bottom of the granary to keep the granary dry and reduce the habitat of rats."

He pointed to the poison bait station in the middle and said:

"Second, we will use poison bait stations to release chronic rodenticides such as bromadiolone. The poison bait stations should be placed in places where rats often hang out, and the poison should be checked and replenished regularly."

"Third, before we put grain into the storage room, we will check the holes and cracks in the room and fully seal them to prevent rats from entering."

"In addition, there is basically no debris around this shelf. Once there is a mouse, there is basically nowhere to hide. We will definitely be able to see it when we come in to inspect."

Li Yu looked at the poison bait station in the middle, which contained rodenticides.

"Yeah." He nodded slightly and left the room.

Next, he inspected the storage rooms on the two underground floors.

Among them, the largest granary room on the second underground floor is filled with sweet potatoes.

In a space of nearly 400 meters, hay is placed on rows of neat shelves, and sweet potatoes are placed on top of the hay.

In order to preserve the sweet potatoes for a longer period of time, these sweet potatoes are not in direct contact with the ground or even the walls.

Instead, it is placed suspended on a wooden or steel frame.

At a glance, the sweet potatoes piled up on the wooden rack are quite spectacular, giving people a sense of solidity and security.

Food is the most important in the last days.

Having so much food is the confidence to survive in the apocalypse, and it is also the foundation for a stable base.

Li Yu looked at Lao Xie behind him and sighed, no wonder Lao Xie became like this.

The granary is full and the zombies are blocked by the wall. It seems that there is no danger.

No wonder they become lax and lose their sense of crisis.

All the grain is stored in this building, with five floors above ground and two floors underground. Li Yu has seen them all.

The windows in the entire building were sealed, and no light shone in.

The grain smell in each storage room is extremely strong. The air in the corn storage room has a sweet smell, and the sweet potato storage room has a faint earthy smell.

After walking out of the grain storage building, Li Yu was quite satisfied with the current fire prevention and rodent prevention inside.

It seems that Lao Xie is quite concerned about food preservation.

"City Lord, there are oil, bedding, firearms and ammunition and other supplies stored in the two buildings behind. Do you want to take a look?" Lao Xie stepped forward and asked.

Li Yu didn't refuse. He came and naturally wanted to take a look.

He usually likes to focus on several key points during inspections, one is wall protection, the other is material storage, and the last one is the mental state of personnel.

Although he will also read other things, they are secondary to him.

The material storage involves various materials: such as grain, charcoal, coal, oil, bedding, etc.

Especially this time, winter is coming.

Without the cold-proof materials prepared for the winter, many people will freeze to death during the entire ice disaster.

An hour later.

After Li Yu inspected all three storage buildings, he said to Lao Xie:

"Two things."

"First, the boiler heating system should be built as soon as possible."

"Second, stock up on supplies for the winter to keep out the cold. For example, trees outside the north can be cut down to make charcoal for future needs."

"Okay, City Lord." Lao Xie nodded, feeling relieved.

It seems that the city lord is quite satisfied and is not angry about the stick that appeared in Dandong just now.

"Go and do your work." Li Yu looked at Lao Xie and said.

"Okay." Lao Xie turned around and said,

He said to Xie Weishan and A Hong:

"Let's go, get down and let the city lord have a good rest."

"Wait." Li Yu's voice came from behind him.

"Ahong and Guo Peng, you two stay, everyone else can go down."

When Lao Xie heard this, his expression froze.

His body stiffened. He was the first person in charge of the northern border. Now the city lord asked Ah Hong and Guo Peng to stay, but not himself.

This shows that the city lord may have a problem with himself.

But he didn't dare to ask, he just glanced at Guo Peng and Ahong, motioned for them to stay, and then left here.

His back looked a little sad and sad.

He could feel it now. The city lord was really angry about those sticks in Dandong that he just mentioned.

He began to reflect on what he had done wrong.

Li Yu didn't know what he thought, nor did he want to know.

Li Yu now just wants to find out as soon as possible how many people there are in the gang of stickmen who appeared in Dandong, what their weapons and equipment are, and whether they are still in Dandong.

In order to clarify these issues, he asked A Hong and Guo Peng to stay.

"Follow me." Li Yu looked at the two of them and asked them to follow.

The group walked for a while and arrived at the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Yu sat in the middle of the meeting room of the City Lord's Mansion and asked the two of them:

"Tell me more about the situation with Dandong's gang."

really!

The two looked at each other, and it turned out that the city lord had left them here just for this reason. They felt that it was inappropriate to just let Dandong's gang of sticks ignore it.

But Captain Xie pointed it out clearly, so ignore it.

As long as those gangsters don't mess with them, don't worry about it.

And I feel that even though we are hundreds of kilometers away, those gangsters won’t come to cause trouble.

At this moment, Li Yu came to them to ask about this matter, which made the two of them feel as if they had returned to the familiar sense of oppression and tension brought to them by the city lord when they were at the headquarters base.

When at the headquarters base, you must be careful in everything, otherwise you will be found to have loopholes and get into trouble.

It's easy to be criticized.

But here in the north, Lao Xie is very relaxed, and he only needs to do things about the same.

Even if what they do is not up to standard, Lao Xie will not cause trouble for them.

To be honest, it was quite comfortable working under Lao Xie's hands, but I always felt a little uneasy and uneasy doing so.

A Hong swallowed her saliva and spoke first:

"The gang mainly gathers in the area around Dandong Langtou Airport. The number of people is about a few hundred. The last time I went on inspection, there were only a few machine guns and few heavy weapons, and their strength was relatively average."

"Have you asked the survivors who came over? Have you learned anything about them?" Li Yu asked, staring at A Hong.

"I asked. It's similar to the situation when we were flying helicopters for high-altitude reconnaissance." A Hong replied.

Li Yu frowned and said, "You go outside the city now, find a few survivors who came from there, and bring them here."

"Okay, City Lord." The two nodded.

He still wanted to talk directly to the survivors who had escaped.

It's now half past two in the afternoon. If we send a helicopter there, we will definitely not be able to come back that day.

I don’t know what’s going on there, so it’s too dangerous for a helicopter to fly over and have to find a temporary place to land.

Otherwise, he would probably have sent a few helicopters to conduct on-the-spot investigation now.

"Cannon, Li Tie, you two go out with them." Li Yu said to Cannon and Li Tie in the conference room.

He felt too relaxed here in the north, so he asked the two cannons to go over and watched A Hong and others bring people over.

"yes."

The four of them left the conference room together.

Only Song Min, He Chao, Li Gang, and Yang Tianlong were left.

Li Yu looked at He Chao and asked: "He Chao, do you know about the situation in the north before?"

He Chao shook his head and said:

"I am only responsible for internal affairs. The military and northern defense are all in charge of Lao Xie. When I was there, there was no situation in Dandong. This is the first time I have heard of this matter."

"Oh." Li Yu was noncommittal, putting his hands on the back of his head and staring at the ceiling in trance.

A long while.

He stood up and walked towards the top of the building.

"A Hong and the others will bring the people later and take them to the roof. I'll wait for them on the roof." Li Yu said to Song Min.

"Yeah, okay." Song Min nodded.

After Li Yu, Li Gang, and Yang Tianlong left the conference room, Song Min walked to the window and looked at the vehicles driving out of the city.

"Lao He."

"What?" He Chao came over.

Song Min whispered: "Looking at the attitude of the city lord, I feel that Lao Xie may be in a little trouble."

He Chao sighed, "Lao Xie is a nice person, but he is a little too soft-hearted."

Song Min narrowed her eyes, "He has always been a good man, but a good man is not suitable to lead a city and cannot be controlled."

He Chao thought for a while and asked:

"Do you think the city lord will dismiss him?"

"Um."

Song Min looked at the open door of the conference room, walked over and closed the door.

"It's possible, and the probability of being dismissed is very high, but now it seems that Lao Xie has not caused any consequences, and there should be no punishment."

He Chao turned the handle on the window and closed it again.

Youyou said with emotion: "The city lord still cares about the old relationship. You know the city lord better than me. Maybe it is possible to be like you guessed."

Song Min glanced at He Chao and said:

"Lao Xie is still not ruthless enough, he lacks a domineering spirit."

She remembered the first time she met Li Yu, when Li Yu took Li Zhengping Cannon and others to the building in Gan City and rescued them.

It was like a god descending from the sky.

The group of men who brutally killed Zhou Sheng.

At that time, they were imprisoned by Zhou Sheng's gang of villains and humiliated them wantonly.

It was also on that day that Li Zhengping saw with his own eyes Li Yu decapitating the thug's head with a knife.

When the head rolled down in front of Li Zhengping, Li Zhengping was so frightened that he collapsed on the ground.

Similarly, when Li Yu killed someone, Song Min also saw that scene.

Li Yu gave her a dagger.

She used the dagger to kill Zhou Sheng Lingchi one by one, and her hatred was avenged.

From then on, she followed Li Yu wholeheartedly.

People who have lived through life and death are more vigorous and resolute in doing things.

Song Min is different from He Chao. He Chao has been in charge of internal affairs since he joined the Da Zhangshu Base.

Song Min was still part of the combat team in the early days. Later, when He Chao went to the north, she took over the post of internal affairs manager.

In the past two years, the evil spirit in Song Min's body has disappeared, and combined with the cannon, the whole person looks more gentle and intellectual.

However, Song Min has a ruthless spirit in her bones.

Li Yu admires her fierceness because Li Yu himself has it.

Having experienced death, when faced with possible threats, I will do my best to nip them in the bud.

Therefore, in Song Min's opinion, the city lord definitely wanted to kill the gang of sticks and American soldiers who appeared.

However, now that natural disaster is approaching, there are still such heavy construction tasks.

In addition, the northwest is eyeing the enemy, so we must carefully consider whether to send troops there.

Rooftop.

Li Yu sat on the rattan leather sofa and looked at the low-pressure clouds in the sky.

The wind blows and the clouds move, seemingly motionless.

Next to them, Li Gang and Yang Tianlong were smoking. Li Yu turned his head when he saw them.

"Brother, are you going to kill those gangsters?" Li Gang asked.

"Yeah." Li Yu nodded lightly.

Li Gang smiled and said: "I tell you, why don't you arrest them all and work as coolies for us?"

Yang Tianlong curled his lips and retorted:

"It's too troublesome. What if they don't surrender? Besides, if we catch them, they won't work honestly. We have to be wary of them rebelling at all times. It's better to just kill them."

Hearing this, Li Gang looked at Li Yu and asked:

"Brother, what do you think?"

Li Yu thought for a while and said:

"Let's talk about it first. Let's find out what's going on over there."

He looked at the accumulated clouds on the horizon and had already begun to consider who would take Lao Xie's place.

Lao Xie is a nice person and has certain abilities.

But if you ask him to manage a city, he can't do this job.

He does not have that kind of wildness, is not ruthless, and is not stable on his feet.

Compared to Oil City, the northern side is further away from the Da Zhangshu Base.

Without a sense of crisis, it is easy to make big mistakes.
