Chapter 694: Follow the third uncle to hang out and nourish [7200-word chapter, please vote for me]

Regarding the planning of the third outer city, after discussions between Li Yu and his second uncle, uncle, Ding Jiu and others, he still chose the method suggested by Li Yu, which was to add an access road to the second and third outer cities. .

This will help the inner city control the three outer cities. Even if there are some problems in one outer city, it will be less likely for cholera to spread to other outer cities.

In addition, the urn city between the third outer city and the inner lining is just like the construction of the first two outer cities. An urn city still needs to be built.

The inner city is the foundation of Dazhangshu Base, so an urn city must be built to protect the safety of the inner city.

Big camphor tree base.

The sun was blazing.

At the construction site of the Third Outer City, the shouts of Xiao Qian and Ding Jiu could be heard occasionally.

There was also the roar of the engines of excavators and transport trucks. The ground was a little dirty, and a large number of fallen trees were moved to an open space nearby.

Li Yu has been explaining things in the past two days and only needs to watch the progress of various things, which is not very busy.

Every day I just wander around the wall, or watch movies, read books, and exercise in the base.

After the heavy rain and flood, he relaxed a lot.

Counting the days, it has been almost two and a half years since the zombie outbreak. During these two and a half years, the Da Zhangshu Base has slowly become stronger.

Many people have also been trained and grown into talents who can stand on their own.

There are corresponding people to deal with all aspects, and the burden on Li Yu's shoulders is no longer so heavy.

In terms of fighting against zombies and enemies, in the current base, the third uncle, uncle, Li Gang, Da Pao, Lao Lu and others can shoulder the burden and perform some tasks alone.

There are also talents with rich combat experience such as Ju Tianrui, Xiao Jun, Lao Luo, Lao Yi, and Lao Qin who have received professional training.

In the overall management of the entire base, in addition to Li Yu, there is also the second uncle who mediates and manages it.

There may be people with stronger management capabilities than his second uncle, but in Li Yu's heart, the core rights must be firmly in the hands of his own people.

Even people with the best relationship may betray.

But it is difficult for relatives to betray, especially relatives whose interests are tied together. There is no motive for betrayal.

Just like his second uncle's betrayal, it would do no good to him.

In addition to the most important combatants, there are several people from An Ya in agriculture, several people from Zhou Weiguo in the breeding industry, several people from the second uncle in the factory, and several doctors including Dr. Meng Yu, old Chinese doctor Huagan, Li Yuan, and second aunt, etc. A person who has worked as a nurse.

In terms of construction, there are Ding Jiu and Li Fu in the overall design, and there are some workers in the specific execution level. In the past two days, I heard Ding Jiu say that among the non-staff members there is an expert who has been working on projects for more than ten years. Yes, let Li Yu focus on observation.

At the current base, the two things Li Yu holds most dear are guns and food.

As long as these two items are guaranteed to be 100% in your own hands, you will have great control over the Zhangshu Base.

At noon, the giant loader stalled.

Cannon accompanied Aunt Zhou to the construction site of the Third Outer City, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "It's time to eat!"

As soon as the meal was served, hundreds of people on the construction site stopped what they were doing and rushed here.

Zuo Ruxue was wearing work clothes, sweat dripped from her forehead, and her face was a little dirty.

He said to the sisters: "Let's eat, sisters, we'll do it later!"

After saying that, he walked to the water tanker, washed his hands, and then poured a handful of water on his face.

Cool!

The temperature at noon can now reach 20 degrees, and coupled with their high-intensity physical labor, it is extremely hot.

The meals are very simple, the staple food is usually sweet potatoes and corn, and there is one meal of white rice or steamed buns a day.

The side dishes are also very simple, either some Chinese cabbage, some pickled side dishes, plus a green onion and egg soup.

Now it's not the Chinese New Year, or any major event, it would be nice to have a bite to eat.

No one is finding fault.

They can also exchange a certain amount of points for helping to build the base here, but the exchange of points is not very high.

Compared with going out to find building materials, their daily points are fixed, and relatively much less.

However, in any case, although they cannot gain more points by building the third outer city, it is more reliable and can provide food for them. This is enough for them.

However, basically all of them had prepaid some food in advance during the rainstorm and flood, in exchange for these food.

So their points haven't increased in the past few days, and they are used to offset the debts they owed before.

Rumble——

At this time, the members of the six groups drove several vehicles and loaded two hundred tons of lime.

When He Chao saw the third group driving over, he immediately put down the rice bowl in his hand and ran out from under the fence.

Let the personnel of the sixth group drive the vehicle to the side of the construction site, weigh in a temporarily built weighbridge, and use the walkie-talkie to contact Li Yuan's situation.

After Li Yuan learned about it, he came here with Li Haoran and others to check. After finding that there was no problem, he gave them part of the food according to the proportion on the exchange list.

The reason for giving part of it is because they were in the base before and paid back the previous credit.

Zuo Ruxue looked at the personnel in the sixth group, who were carrying a sack of several tens of kilograms, which was full of grain.

Somewhat envious, they are still fast.

In this way, debts can be repaid very quickly. It is estimated that after a few times, the previous debts can be paid off, and then you can continue to accumulate points and increase your points.

But envy is envy, and the benefits are proportional to the risks.

It's not that easy for people like them to choose to find and transport building materials. If they find a place with a lot of materials, it's okay.

But if they don't know it in the first place, they have to look for it.

This is not like before the end of the world, you can find it by just looking for it.

After experiencing heavy rains and floods, many places were submerged, and some places were filled with silt.

In addition, when they go searching, they occasionally find places where zombies are hiding. Maybe they have to go through a battle before they can transport these materials back.

"It's your turn, don't be in a daze." Aunt Zhou held a big iron spoon in her hand and said to Zuo Ruxue.

"Ah! Sorry, sorry." Zuo Ruxue immediately took out the rice bowl she had washed.

Aunt Zhou is very good at cooking and her spoon never shakes.

Just fill up a spoonful and put it on Zuo Ruxue's rice bowl.

The dish is served with a smaller spoon.

Each one is the corresponding size, and each spoonful is a precise amount, trying to be fair.

Zuo Ruxue looked at the green vegetables and white rice and swallowed.

The other side.

The third uncle and others had left Gan City in their vehicle and were heading towards Guang Province.

The third uncle looked at the time. The watch showed 13:30.

They have been driving continuously for nearly 5 hours.

I just passed the expressway, but halfway through I found that the overpass collapsed, so I had to get off and take the highway.

The road surface is very difficult to walk on. After sitting on such a bumpy road for five hours, everyone may be a little tired.

So the third uncle took out the walkie-talkie and said to Zhu Xiao, Guo Peng and others behind him: "Stop and rest for 20 minutes, go to the toilet and eat. We will start again at 13:50."

Hearing Uncle San's voice from the intercom, Zhu Xiao touched his sore butt and replied, "Okay."

As the vehicle slowly stopped, Zhu Xiao got out of the car and stood on the road to urinate.

With the sound of gurgling water, Zhu Xiao's expression showed relief.

He couldn't hold it in for a long time, but his third uncle didn't say to stop, and he couldn't stop the car without permission. If he couldn't keep up, it would be the end of the road.

Just now in the car, he almost used a plastic bottle to fill it, but considering that the plastic bottle was still useful for drinking water, he had to hold it in.

Zhu Xiao shook his head and washed his hands in a steel bucket on the roadside.

Although the heavy rain has ended for some time, there is still some water in many places.

Back in the car, he took out the dry food and started to eat it.

The crew member in the driver's seat also pulled the handbrake to make it easier to get out of the car.

Everyone rested for 20 minutes, took care of themselves, ate something, and soon started off again.

Rumble——

The vehicle started and continued driving towards Guangzhou.

The third uncle looked at the map in his hand and said to Lao Qin: "I estimate that we will be able to reach Danxia Mountain tomorrow. If we are in a hurry, we can go to Shao City to see the steel factory there."

Lao Qin glanced at the rearview mirror, and Zhu Xiao and others followed him.

He said, "Then we need to find a safer place to camp tonight. Where do you think is suitable?"

The third uncle looked at the sky, the sun was shining brightly.

He said: "Keep going forward. Anyway, you can find it two hours before the sun goes down."

The vehicle continues forward.

The road conditions are very complicated. There are many potholes on the road. If you are not careful, your body will be bounced up and then fall heavily.

Instead of passing through the city, they took the highway wherever possible, and took the highway along the city when the highway was disconnected.

But on the road, there are always some abandoned and scrapped vehicles, and some even block the middle of the road.

Helpless, it can only be smashed away with a modified armored car.

The armored RVs in the base have all undergone drastic modifications, especially where several thick layers of steel plates have been installed on the baffles, which can effectively protect the front of the vehicle and prevent collisions.

after an hour.

Suddenly, the third uncle heard Zhu Xiao's voice from the walkie-talkie.

"Third Uncle, two of our truck tires have blown up, please stop temporarily and install the tires."

When the third uncle heard this, he immediately asked Lao Qin to stop the car.

He picked up the gun, got out of the car and walked towards the back.

"What's going on?" The third uncle saw that Zhu Xiao also got out of the car, and several people squatted on the ground to check the tires.

The driver of the car smiled bitterly and said: "I just accidentally ran over a small pit. There was a sharp stone in the small pit. The tire rolled down and the two rear tires were punctured. "

Third Uncle looked at the gradually leaking tire, frowning slightly.

"Hurry up and change the tire. Be careful when you drive. I'll slow down a little later and you guys should watch the ground carefully and don't get punctured again. We only have one spare tire in each car. You can do this now I used a car, and there are still so many roads ahead." The third uncle didn't blame him, but just asked him to replace the spare tire as soon as possible.

Zhu Xiao quickly took two people to the back of the car to take off the spare tire.

Toot——

The broken tire screw was removed, and the spare wheel was replaced again with an electric wrench.

The third uncle stayed here for about two minutes, watching them quickly change the spare tire, nodded slightly, and then reminded them again.

He returned to the armored RV.

boom!

The third uncle closed the car door.

He breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Lao Qin: "Drive slower later, the tire of the truck behind is punctured. Drive slower, it will be safer."

Lao Qin opened the car window and naturally took out a pack of cigarettes from the middle storage compartment that his third uncle had placed.

This pack of cigarettes belonged to Uncle San. Lao Qin didn't ask him and just shook out one.

ignite.

"Hiss-hoo!" Old Qin Tu exhaled smoke and then said to his third uncle: "If this is the case, it will take us longer to reach Shao City."

"It's okay, just be steady." The third uncle said dullly.

The speed of the vehicle slowed down again, to only forty kilometers per hour.

The speed was much slower and the bumps were not as severe.

No one was encountered along the way, it was desolate and dilapidated.

If they hadn't seen some birds in the sky, they would have doubted whether there were any living things here.

But, they are used to it.

Human presence is rare, which is the norm in the apocalypse.

As far as the eye can see, there are collapsed houses everywhere, and none of the original houses built with mud walls can be seen.

Even some brick houses are dilapidated.

Soon the time came to evening, and the third uncle and others found a place nearby and chose it as their station tonight.

With Uncle San and Lao Qin here, the station chosen was very safe.

There happens to be a large pool in this place.

Look at the sign written above. Only the word "swimming" written on it can be seen.

In today's apocalypse, adding fuel and water is a big problem.

As for gas, they brought enough for the round trip, and when they passed a gas station on the road, they would go there to see if they could find it.

But most gas stations are already empty.

Zhu Xiao pulled a water pipe, plunged it into the pool, and filled the car with water.

Guo Pengze and Lao Qin led a few people to search nearby.

This is a swimming pool near a road with a wall surrounding three houses.

There is a swimming pool inside, as well as a roller skating rink.

The third uncle walked into the roller skating rink. In the afterglow of the setting sun, a yellow light illuminated the roller skating rink.

The originally smooth ground of the roller skating rink was filled with pits and pits, exposing the soil underneath, and there were even a few grasses growing on it.

A big hole also appeared on the roof above the roller skating rink, and the light also shone from this big hole.

The third uncle was walking in this skating rink with a gun.

Suddenly, he saw a red self-service vending machine in front of him.

There are some advertisements posted on it, look at the English letters on it.

The third uncle is familiar with it. This is Coca-Cola.

When he walked to the self-service vending machine, he was a little disappointed. There was nothing there.

The third uncle put down the gun and shook the vending machine vigorously.

Bang bang bang——

Um?

When the third uncle heard this voice, he felt that something was wrong.

Generally, self-service vending machines sometimes have some malfunctions, and some drinks are stuck inside and cannot be released.

There is no bottle of drink on the vending machine at all, and at this time, a clanging sound can be heard, indicating that something is stuck inside.

The third uncle squatted down and shook himself at the exit.

Then bam!

The third uncle directly violently opened the cover of the delivery port, and stretched out his hand to take it out.

But he took it out for two minutes and still couldn't get it out.

Hey? !

Uncle San laughed angrily.

He looked around and put the gun back.

Slowly step back four or five meters and assume a charging posture.

In the next second, Uncle San was like a bullet just fired from the muzzle of a gun.

Go to the vending machine.

The third uncle took over, and then kicked heavily towards the iron sheet next to the delivery port!

boom!

The force was so great that it made a huge noise.

Under the self-service vending machine, there was a big depression on the head, and the depression was nearly 40 centimeters.

Even the entire vending machine slid three meters backward.

boom!

The entire vending machine fell to the ground.

Bang! when!

A bottle of red canned Coke fell from nowhere.

It rolled to the side.

The third uncle's eyes moved slightly and he saw the bottle of Coke.

He walked over slowly, then bent down to pick up the bottle of Coke, wiped the dust off the surface, and put it in his pocket.

He continued to search inside the roller skating rink. There were bags of instant noodles and ham sausages on the ground. The shelves were empty and there was nothing.

When he came to a counter, he saw some roller skates randomly placed behind it, and his heart moved slightly.

The wheels of this roller skate may be used as a dolly.

So I took out my walkie-talkie, contacted Zhu Xiao, and asked him to come over and put away the roller skates. They might be used later, and they didn't take up much space anyway.

The third uncle searched here again, but except for the bottle of Coke he found at the beginning, he found nothing useful.

I don’t feel disappointed either. The apocalypse has been going on for so long, and useful things have long been looted.

The third uncle walked out of the roller skating rink and saw Lao Qin and Guo Peng walking in from outside.

Looking at the smashed iron railing gate, he said to Guo Peng: "You can drive a truck to block this gate later. Also check these houses."

Guo Peng nodded, and then said to the people behind him: "Follow me."

The water in the swimming pool looks quite clean, perhaps because it rained heavily some time ago and the water in it was changed. Otherwise, the water in it would have turned green in two years.

The sun sets in the west, and as time goes by, night falls slowly.

The third uncle did not go upstairs to rest, but was in the armored RV.

This armored RV is covered with a 5cm steel plate and railings, making it difficult for zombies to break in.

There are also toilets, beds, and bedding on the car.

Instead of going upstairs and sleeping on the floor, sleep in your RV.

On this trip, Li Yu distributed dry food to everyone.

Half a month's supply per person is dry homemade steamed buns. After air-drying, they can be stored for a long time without moisture.

This steamed bun contains some dried vegetables, locust powder, cooking oil, salt, and flour.

This steamed bun is quite hungry.

Some people were arranged to be on duty at the gate, where everyone checked the condition of the vehicles, refueled, added water, rested, etc.

The third uncle returned to the armored RV and saw Lao Qin holding a handful of noodles and cooking noodles in the RV.

He shouted to Lao Qin: "There are eggs in the refrigerator. You can get some eggs to eat."

Lao Qin nodded and took out two eggs from the refrigerator.

Lao Qin smiled and just followed the captain.

After all, Zhu Xiao and the others were non-staff members, so the food was naturally a bit poor.

But for them, some food is good, and what more do they need bicycles?

The third uncle took out a can of red Coke from his pocket, thought about it, and stuffed it into the car's small refrigerator.

"What are those?" Lao Qin held two bowls of cooked vegetable and egg noodles and placed them on the table in the center of the RV.

"Coke." Third uncle said calmly.

"???? You still have this thing?" Lao Qin said in surprise.

You know, as time goes by, some puffed foods and drinks have long since disappeared.

As for himself, he has not drank this stuff for almost two years.

Even in the Big Zhangshu Base, he rarely saw this thing.

The last time I saw it was a long time ago, I saw Li Yuan drinking from this.

The third uncle pointed to the roller skating rink and said, "I just found it there. I'll take half of it later."

Lao Qin smiled cheerfully and said, "Hey!"

It's good to follow the captain. As expected of Mr. Li's relative, the treatment is good.

The cigarette pipe is enough, and if the third uncle didn't like drinking, he would probably have enough wine.

He also benefited from it.

The two of them were holding cigarettes in one hand and chopsticks in the other, eating noodles.

The setting sun outside shines into the car through the gaps in the iron plates outside the car.

But as the sun sets, it gets darker and darker.

The third uncle casually turned on the car lights.

Soon, the two of them ate all the noodles and drank all the soup.

The two of them were smoking, and the third uncle felt that time was almost enough.

So he asked Lao Qin to take out the Coke from the refrigerator.

The Coke can was bulging, as if the bottle was about to explode at any moment.

It is probably due to the impact of the high temperature in the past.

Bada——

Lao Qin took off the lid of the Coke.

No bubbles come out.

"Pour it into the bowl." The third uncle said when he saw Lao Qin handing him the Coke.

Lao Qin poured it into Uncle San's clean bowl.

Gulu gulu——

When it was poured out, there were some bubbles.

half each.

The third uncle blew out a smoke ring and drank the coke in one gulp.

Bingbing is cool, sweet, and has a little bubbles.

belch--

The third uncle burped loudly.

He stood up and said to Lao Qin: "I'm going to make arrangements for duty. In addition, we are also on duty. You work late at night and I work late at night."

"Okay, captain." Lao Qin took a sip of Coke and said with a smile.

Nothing to say all night.

Although some zombies discovered them last night, they were in a rural area near a highway after all.

There were only a few dozen zombies, but Uncle San and the others paid no attention to them.

After the sun came up, there were only three or four zombies left outside, and the other zombies had all left.

Everyone quickly got up and drove their vehicles to continue driving south.

Guo Peng drove the truck in reverse, and the truck leaned against the door, blocking the door.

It was this car that worked last night to prevent the zombies from entering.

Rumble——

Turn the steering wheel of the vehicle full to the left, then reverse and turn the steering wheel to the full right.

He drove out with a bang, ignoring the three zombies.

But the three zombies rushed towards the truck.

Gulu gulu——

The vehicle ran directly over the zombie's body.

The vehicles behind them were also crushed by this. People like them were already used to zombies.

After driving out of the swimming pool, Guo Peng stopped on the side of the road and let the armored RV go ahead.

The RV walked to the front, followed by Zhu Xiao and others driving a truck.

Everyone had a good rest last night and continued on their way.

Along with the bumps, another day of rushing begins.

In the turbulence, they left Ganshi and entered Nanling.

Coming out of Nanling, we arrived at Danxia Mountain at noon.

"Captain, in a few dozen kilometers we'll probably reach Shao City. Let's go there first, right?" Lao Qin asked as he controlled the steering wheel.

The third uncle took the map and said: "Yes, go there and have a look. It would be best if you can know where to find it. Otherwise, you have to go to Guang City, which is further away. There are many zombies there and it is quite dangerous."

"Okay." Lao Qin said no more nonsense, stepped on the accelerator and drove south.

After crossing the Nanling Mountains, the road was easier to walk, perhaps because it had not been flooded, but not much better.

But it's not as bumpy.

After driving for about two hours, they arrived near the Shao Steel Plant.

Looking at a huge sign on the roadside: Shao City Group Co., Ltd.

Lao Qin was slightly happy and said, "Just go over here."

There were many vehicles parked on the roadside, but they were all knocked away by the armored RV.

After driving for about 10 minutes, Uncle San and Lao Qin looked at the road ahead with ugly expressions.

On the road ahead, a long high-speed train twisted down from the rails and fell on the road ahead.

The entire high-speed train, which was hundreds of meters away, fell on the road like a giant dragon, blocking their way.

This high-speed train is completely scrapped, like a twist, crooked.

"I guess the driver lost control when the apocalypse first broke out." Lao Qin said with some sadness in his heart.

The third uncle didn't hesitate, looked for it on the map, and said, "If it's okay, take another route, take a detour, and go from the west."

The Shao City Steel Plant is right next to a lake.

After all, it is a steel plant and requires a lot of water.

"Go through the Shao City Roasting Factory." Third Uncle pointed at the map, showed it to Lao Qin, and said.

There are two entrances to the steel plant, one is from the west and the other is where they are now.

As for the east and north, they are all occupied by the lake, and there is no way to pass by the water.

"Okay." Lao Qin was also unambiguous and turned around to return the same way.

Zhu Xiao and the others also saw the overturned high-speed train from behind, so they didn't ask any questions and quietly followed the reversing train.

20 minutes later.

They took a long detour before reaching the west entrance.

However, when they took a detour to the west intersection, they saw a scene that made them very unhappy.

Shaogang Avenue.

The houses on both sides of the road in front seemed to have been deliberately detonated and fell onto the avenue. The dozens of meters long construction debris was five or six meters high.

And at the end there is a pile of dirt as high as a hill. All kinds of construction waste and soil blocked the road ahead.

When the third uncle saw this scene, he took out his telescope and wanted to see some problems.

There is no doubt that this is man-made, just to prevent people from passing by here.

At this time, Lao Qin and his third uncle had a thought in their minds. Is there anyone else in the Shao Steel Factory? Otherwise, why would they do this?

Not only blocking the zombies, but also blocking the past of humans.

The third uncle looked at it with the binoculars for a while, hesitated for a long time, and said: "Reverse the car and get off this road first."

He was also debating whether to leave altogether.

After all, this area is blocked, and they didn't bring cleaning equipment. Besides, cleaning up these construction wastes would take too much time and people, and they probably wouldn't be able to finish it in a week.
