Chapter 622: You are a swordsman and I am a fish (two-in-one)

Big camphor tree base.

Since Li Yu and the others left, construction in the base is still in full swing.

It is October now. Since the last high temperature surge, the temperature has dropped sharply and then returned to a slightly normal temperature. But now it is October. Compared with the normal temperature in October in previous years, it is still colder than in previous years. of.

The temperature at night can reach zero degrees, and when you wake up in the morning, you can see frost outside.

Frost.

This year's winter is earlier than usual.

Autumn seems like not a few days have passed.

There is a huge temperature difference between day and night. The hottest time at noon during the day can reach ten or twenty degrees above zero. At night the temperature drops sharply, reaching around zero degrees.

Regarding the base's outdoor greenhouse plan, it was officially launched the day after Li Yu and the others left.

Originally, He Chao and Xiao Jun obtained hundreds of tons of steel from the steel plant in the northeast of the province. Apart from using part of it on the wall, there was still a lot left.

Building an outdoor greenhouse is imminent.

One reason why the Da Zhangshu base is internally stable now is that the Li family is the core of the base and has absolute leadership. Important positions are basically in the hands of the Li family.

Another extremely important reason is that there is abundant food.

But food cannot be left in vain.

Affected by natural disasters, late rice planting in the base has not been carried out outdoors.

The outdoor planting occupies dozens of acres of land. If planting is impossible, wasting the land is a small matter, but not harvesting food is a big deal.

Ding Jiu, Xiao Qian and others quickly made plans for the construction of greenhouses in the inner and outer cities.

In addition to them, Anya also put forward some suggestions for the greenhouse to be built. After all, the purpose of building a greenhouse is to grow crops, so outdoor greenhouses must consider the environment required by crops.

In the duty room and temporary conference room, everyone began to formulate a specific implementation plan for the construction of the outdoor greenhouse.

The issue of steel has been resolved, but the material covering it has not been finalized.

Greenhouses mainly use three materials.

Plastic film, PC solar panel, glass.

"I think it is most appropriate to use solar panels as the covering material of the greenhouse. This hollow sheet made of plastic is light in weight, weighing 1.4~1.5kg per square meter, has high hardness, is commonly known as ring steel, and is light-transmitting The efficiency is about 80%, which fully meets the needs of plant production. The insulation effect is good and the service life can be more than ten years. And, as far as I know, there are two factories in Ganxi City that produce this material." Ding Jiu spoke. said.

Xiao Qian hesitated and said: "Although the solar panels have a long service life, they are also complicated to install. If all the planting areas in the base are used for this, it will be a very big project. Plastic films are easier to install. . Moreover, some plastic films have strong tear resistance, high temperature resistance, cold resistance, and good light transmittance. Most greenhouses before the end of the world used this."

The second uncle thought for a while and said: "If the difficulty of installation is not considered, which material will be more suitable?"

Anya said: "Of course, the solar panel is more suitable. Compared with glass, it will be lighter. Compared with plastic film, although it is heavier, it is less likely to be damaged."

Hearing what Anya said, the second uncle said: "Then use PC solar panels. But don't worry about it. You should build the basic steel frame first. Anyway, the covering material is not available now."

The second uncle looked at He Chao and said: "He Chao, add this material to the material exchange list and let the base cooperation staff and non-staff personnel collect this material."

He Chao, who was listening attentively, nodded immediately after hearing what his second uncle said, rolled his eyes, and asked, "How to calculate this exchange ratio?"

The second uncle struggled for a while and asked the uncle and others: "How much do you think is appropriate?"

The uncle didn't know much about the material exchange ratio. He had always been responsible for the security of the base. When asked about this, he didn't know what the appropriate ratio was.

But Ding Jiu knew this material. He had worked as a contractor and in management before, so he said: "This material is relatively light. With the same weight, the volume is several times that of steel. Why not calculate it as three times that of steel?" Bar?"

After hearing this, the second uncle nodded slightly, thinking that this proposal was okay.

So he said to everyone, "What do other people think?"

"I have no objection." The uncle said.

"Okay, that's it." Father Li said.

Seeing that everyone had no objections, the second uncle said to He Chao: "It is also calculated according to the weight. One ton of PC solar panels can be exchanged for 6 catties of grain."

He Chao nodded, and immediately recorded the exchange ratio in his notebook.

The second uncle looked at everyone and said: "Okay, let's build the basic framework for the time being. Ding Jiu, Xiao Qian, you should hurry up and build the steel frame as soon as possible. He Chao, you should also release the task as soon as possible. , collect the covering material.

Today is colder than yesterday. We all know how cold last winter was, and there is not much time left for us. It is not easy for us to work in a too cold environment, so let’s get it done within two weeks as soon as the daytime temperature is okay. "

Ding Jiu Xiaoqian, He Chao and the others nodded slightly to express their understanding.

"Okay, let's get to work quickly," the second uncle said to everyone.

Everyone left one after another.

"By the way, Anya and Xiaoshi will stay here for a while." The second uncle said to Anya and Xiaoshi who were about to leave.

The two of them were a little confused and stopped.

Walked to the second uncle.

The second uncle looked at them and said: "Before Xiaoyu left, he specifically mentioned to me about the current underground planting base. Did you encounter any problems? Do you need help?"

Anya rolled up the book in her hand and said to her second uncle: "There are no problems with light, water, and fertilizers. It's just that scale insects have appeared recently. To kill scale insects, avideniprid is used. I talked to Bai Jie about this." , she can configure it there. There is no big problem."

The second uncle was a little nervous when he heard that there was an insect infestation, but he heard that Bai Jie could solve it.

He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's okay. If you have any needs or any problems in the underground plantation, you must report them as soon as possible."

Anya and Xiaoshi nodded.

"Well, then you go and do your work." The second uncle said to the two of them.

The two resigned and left the duty room.

The second uncle waited until the two left and then walked out of the duty room.

Father Li was looking at the mountains and forests in the distance on the wall. He was lost in thought when he heard footsteps behind him and saw that it was his second brother.

"Hongda, didn't Xiaoyu and the others say they would be back in two days at most? Today has passed immediately. They haven't come back yet. Could there be any accident?"

The second uncle looked at his eldest brother, sighed, and said, "Brother, Lao San and Xiaoyu have gone out, there will definitely be no problem. Don't you know about Xiaoyu? He always does things safely."

Father Li shook his head and said: "Xiaoyu, this child, has always been independent. He doesn't like to communicate with me. When he came back, he wanted to build a farm. Later I saw him killing people and thought about how he became like this. But later Only then did I realize that what he did was right. As a father, I am not competent at all and I don’t understand him at all."

The second uncle looked at Father Li and comforted him: "No matter how he changes, his surname is still Li. He is still your son and my nephew. He will never do anything bad to our family.

Moreover, it has been almost two years, and he has resisted a lot of pressure for this base and everyone. Brother, don't think so much, they will come back. "

Father Li breathed a long sigh of relief and nodded.

He said with a smile: "Recently, I see that boy Haoran, it seems that he has a situation with Xu Zhen's sister."

The second uncle scratched his head in a rare move. The brat he raised at home has now learned how to serve cabbage.

"Young people's affairs are up to them to decide. I have no control over them anyway," said the second uncle.

"Yeah. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to check the underground water pipes. I heard from Xu Zhen that the underground culvert at the back door is cracked," Li's father said.

"Okay, I'm on duty here."

Orange Island Head.

Evening light.

Many birds in the city use this area as a nesting site.

There are no busy vehicles or bustling people in the city, making it look extremely empty.

In the quiet city, in the sunset, Li Yu and the others stood on a high building and looked down, but no one could be seen.

There is an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

He took off a walkie-talkie headset and put a Bluetooth headset into his ear.

He took out his phone and played a song.

Piano music plays, a Lullaby.

Frost leaves know autumn, and the misty forest in the mountains makes my heart yearn for it.

Music is a medicine that heals the human spirit.

Li Yu could never control the sadness and murderous aura in his heart.

In the five years before his rebirth, he suffered too much alone.

Betrayed and almost eaten by zombies.

Later, he was even captured by a survivor team and almost became someone else's dinner.

He had seen too many tragedies in the apocalypse, which seriously affected him.

After he was reborn, he was healed by his family and friends, which made him feel better.

But from time to time, there will still be an involuntary surge of mania.

Kill kill kill! Kill all the zombies and all the evil in the world.

Li Yu took out a piece of candy from his pocket, opened the wrapping paper, and stuffed it into his mouth.

The sweet taste fills your mouth instantly.

"Brother Yu, it seems they won't come today." Da Pao came from behind and said to Li Yu.

He didn't say who they were, but Li Yu knew that Cannon was talking about Gao Ru and the others who went to the Western League from Chengzizhoutou.

"Don't be in a hurry, wait slowly, let everyone be careful at night, although they are scattered, but this is a city after all, there are many zombies, so let everyone be careful." Li Yu said to Cannon.

Cannon nodded and went to inform everyone.

The sun sets and night gradually falls.

They have to wait here for their return.

Western Conference.

Gao Ru said to his men with excitement: "Let's go back this time, pack the things there, and then we'll return to the Western Alliance headquarters. We won't have to run back and forth again in the future."

After hearing this, a tall man was very happy and said excitedly: "What about the food? Have you given us any food?"

When Gao Ru heard this, he glared at him. He didn't mention which pot to open. When we come back from Chengzizhou, do we still need to worry about food?

But he also knew that when they left Chengzizhoutou, Gan Shang and the others had reduced their food to only one-third of the previous amount.

People like myself have stayed here for so many days, and the food on their side is likely to be almost consumed.

When they go back, they must bring food for them to eat.

However, now they can only bring back two carts of rice ash.

"There are two carts of grain, which is enough. Let's set off early tomorrow morning, go early and return early." Gao Ru said to the crowd.

The group of people were very excited. Although there was a wall at Chengzizhoutou, which was close to the river, the headquarters was still much safer than the Western Alliance.

"Leave tomorrow!" The tall man waved his hands towards the sky with an excited expression on his face.

Western Conference, West Division.

A guest came to Zhou's yard.

Liu Cunyi.

A core member of the Liu family.

Zhou Zhisheng looked at Liu Cunyi in front of him, his eyes were uncertain. Last time he saw the Liu family with his own eyes, he was the first to go to Gan Xiong.

In the current situation, it is not suitable for them to meet each other again.

In the last Qianzhou Liu alliance, it was agreed to advance and retreat together, and they resolutely refused to hand over the grain.

Unexpectedly, under the absolute threat of force from the Gan family, the Liu family was the first to betray and surrender to Gan Xiong, leaving the Zhou family passive. If they continued to persist stubbornly, the Zhou family and the Qian family alone would not be able to resist.

Therefore, the Zhou family also succumbed to Gan Xiong's despotic power.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Zhisheng said to Liu Cunyi unceremoniously.

He had complaints in his heart and succumbed to Gan Xiong, which cost them a lot. Most of the grain was handed over to Gan Xiong.

Liu Cunyi was not surprised when he saw the anger on Zhou Zhisheng's face.

Instead, he said patiently: "I know why you are angry, but if you don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Qian family, just listen to what I have to say."

Zhou Zhisheng said impatiently: "It doesn't matter what you have to say. Do you know that your appearance here now will not be good for both of our families. Gan Xiong is already very suspicious. If you come here, they must have seen it." . If you are so suspicious of us, do you think we will still get some good things from you?"

Liu Cunyi said with a wry smile: "Of course I know, but you don't know the situation of the Qian family, and you have wiped out the whole family. Do you think that if I don't come to you, our life will be easy in the future? "

"What we did in the past was indeed unreasonable, but you know best. The Qian family was in charge of all this, and we were dragged onto the pirate ship by him."

"We handed over the grain in our hands to Gan Xiong and gave him most of it. You should do the same. We are very passive here now. After what happened before, do you think we can escape from behind?"

Zhou Zhisheng frowned. It wasn't that what Liu Cunyi said was wrong, but that what he said was too right.

Can anyone tolerate betrayal? cannot.

Unless the person who betrayed him needs him temporarily, or the person who betrayed him has some strength that is difficult to deal with directly.

Now it's like boiling frogs in warm water, slowly boiling the Zhou family and Liu family to death.

Travel is restricted and food is regularly handed over in exchange for protection money.

What if the food in their hands is gone in the end? What will they do next?

And this matter is in the foreseeable future.

"Speak directly if you have something to say, don't beat around the bush." ​​Zhou Zhisheng frowned and said to Liu Cunyi.

Liu Cunyi looked around, walked closer, and whispered next to Zhou Zhisheng:

"What I want to say is, do you want to leave the Western Conference with us?"

"What? Are you crazy?" Zhou Zhisheng's eyes widened and he looked at Liu Cunyi in disbelief.

Then, he added: "We finally took root here, and we also participated in the construction of this base. Why should we leave.

Besides, after leaving here, where else can we go? There are zombies everywhere. How long can we stay outside? "

Liu Cunyi glanced at him and said calmly: "If you stay in the Western Alliance, you will die. If we go out, our two families can join hands and build a new base."

"and."

Liu Cunyi changed the topic and said leisurely: "Who said that, only the Western Conference."

"What do you mean? Could it be?" Zhou Zhisheng stared at Liu Cunyi with thoughtful eyes.

"Do you still remember that there used to be five powers in the Western Alliance? Do you remember the Zhang family?" Liu Cunyi said.

Zhou Zhisheng was a little confused and said: "Zhang family? The Zhang family's previous incident was not because of the slave incident, but because of the mistreatment of the slaves, which finally caused their slaves to rebel and killed everyone in the Zhang family."

Liu Cunyi chuckled and said with a sneer: "Do you believe it? Were you there that night? You must have heard so from the Gan family patrol team."

"I saw with my own eyes that people from the Gan family took advantage of the night to kill all the people from the Zhang family."

Zhou Zhisheng is not a fool. He had doubts at first, but he didn't see it with his own eyes.

"But the Gan family had no motive to do this at that time?"

Liu Cunyi sneered: "Think about it, is it really true? Whose hands will end up with all the cans in Zhang's canning factory, and who will be the biggest gainer."

One word awakens the dreamer.

Liu Cunyi gave him another dose of strong medicine.

"The Gan family, in their eyes, we are just lambs that can be raised slowly. If we need to be slaughtered, we will be slaughtered. We are the fish on the chopping board. From the attitude of the Zhang family, the Qian family, and now Gan Xiong towards us, Haven’t you seen it yet?”

! ! !

Zhou Zhisheng suddenly figured everything out, and there were traces of it all.

Moreover, what Liu Cunyi said was true.

He thought of the Zhang family mentioned by Liu Cunyi just now.

Why mention it?

So he said, "You didn't finish what you said just now. You just said that besides our two families going out and building a base by ourselves, what choice do you have? What does it have to do with the Zhang family?"

Liu Cunyi narrowed his eyes slightly and said a name lightly: "Zhang Rufeng."

"He's not dead!"

"What?" Zhou Zhisheng was shocked. After the Zhang family was destroyed, the Zhou family also made some profits, which were all the remaining profits of the Gan family.

"He's not dead, where is he? What does all this have to do with another choice?" Zhou Zhisheng was very confused and asked several questions in succession.
