Chapter 809 Returning to the big camphor tree, people come over the wall at night

In the past few days, when Li Yu used the military radio to contact the Da Zhangshu Base every day, he would intentionally or unintentionally ask about the reinforcement of the Da Zhangshu Base.

To the east of Gan Province is Fujian Province, and to the south is Guangdong Province. These two provinces are close to the sea and are places where typhoons often make landfall.

However, Gan Province is surrounded by mountains, with Nanling to the south and Wuyi Mountains to the east. With the mountains blocking the way, the power of the typhoon should be much smaller.

But Li Yu was still a little uneasy and was quite concerned about this matter.

In the Oil City Walled City, it is located in the Central Plains, far away from the sea. When the typhoon arrives here, the water vapor should also be weakened a lot.

Li Tie and the others are also making preparations, counting the vehicles and preparing the large forces to return to the Da Zhangshu base.

On this trip, they cleared the motorcycle gang's lair and seized their food and ammunition. Later, they found a lot of guns and vehicles in the Zheng City Military Region, plus the oil produced in the Oil City Walled City these days. , these things must be brought back to Da Zhangshu Base.

If we rely solely on helicopter transportation, there will be two trips a day, and it is estimated that the shipment will not be completed in one or two months.

So they had to be transported back in vehicles.

So many cars, large and small, totaling more than a hundred cars.

These include military trucks, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and armored transport vehicles

There are also more trucks looted from the biker gang's lair, and they are all filled with various supplies at this time.

Originally, Li Yu thought of transporting oil directly by helicopter, but found that the oil was too heavy and the helicopter's load capacity was too small, only a dozen tons. Moreover, it was also a big oil consumer. If it weren't for the continuous oil production in the Oil City, I guess they can't afford a helicopter.

On average, one round trip, after deducting the fuel consumption on the way, is six to seven tons. They can only bring back a few tons at a time.

The efficiency is too low.

Helicopters are convenient for carrying people, but using them specifically for transportation is a bit wasteful.

So the best way is through land transportation.

Time passes slowly like running water.

Four days later.

The trenches outside the oil city wall have also been completed.

The trench was more complicated than they expected, because they had to take into account the terrain height difference to ensure that the closer to the Oil City, the higher the height.

Only in this way can the gap be used to allow the oil to flow out.

In addition, the depth of the trench was more than ten centimeters higher than they originally expected, reaching 30 centimeters at the deepest point and 15 centimeters closest to the Oil City Walled City.

And the trenches are covered with a thin layer of cement to isolate them from the soil on the ground to prevent oil from penetrating into the soil and being wasted.

evening.

After distributing the food to those collaborators that day, Lao Bi and others announced to them that there were no engineering tasks for them to do for the time being, and their cooperation with Oil City came to an end.

These people had actually expected it. After all, there were so many of them and they consumed a large amount of food every day.

But when that day came, they still felt a little disappointed, and then confused, not knowing what to do next.

What's more important is that they don't know where to go to find food after receiving today's food.

Seeing the disappointed expressions on their faces, Lao Bi raised his voice and said:

“Although the project here has come to an end, there may be some projects in the future, and I will contact you when the time comes.

In addition, I also have a list of grain exchanges here. You can exchange them based on the items above. For example, one pound of gold can be exchanged for two pounds of grain."

Gold Whether before or after the apocalypse, gold is considered a hard currency.

Because gold has unique and perfect properties, it has extremely high corrosion resistance and stability; good electrical and thermal conductivity.

Not to mention anything else, just covering a cold weapon with a layer of gold will give it strong corrosion resistance.

Sometimes they use cold weapons to kill zombies. The liquid in zombies is actually somewhat corrosive. They have inserted cold weapons into zombies' heads many times. Of course, they are not afraid of some high-quality alloy spears, but most other cold weapons are not afraid of them. Weapons corrode easily if used too much.

Many collaborators couldn't help but get excited when they heard Lao Bi say that they could exchange other things for food.

Although food can no longer be found outside, other things should still be found.

However, when they heard that one pound of gold can be exchanged for two pounds of grain, they realized that it was not easy to exchange it for other things.

Before the end of the world, there were only tens of thousands of tons of gold in the world, and the national reserves were only one or two thousand tons, still scattered in various places.

In a large gold and silver jewelry store, thirty kilograms of gold is considered a lot.

Gold is generally calculated in grams. One pound is equal to 500 grams. Who the hell calculates it in pounds?

If calculated based on the price of gold before the end of the world, one gram of gold is about 500 yuan, one pound of gold is about 250,000 yuan, and the price of food before the end of the world is 6 yuan per pound.

If we compare gold and grain before the end of the world, one pound of gold can buy 20 tons of grain, but now it can only be exchanged for two pounds of grain? ? !

In addition to gold, there are also some things on the list that they are not familiar with, many of which are requested from Lao Dong, Kong Shuang, Bai Jie, Zhou Weiguo, Anya, Meng Yu and others from the Da Zhangshu Base.

Some of them are things that ordinary people rarely understand. These things involve some trace elements needed in chemistry, some materials needed in medicine, and even some precious seeds in agriculture.

Although Li Yu bought seed packets that could be used to save seeds before the end of the world, it cost him a lot of money.

But there are some seeds that are not available on the market.

After the outbreak of the apocalypse, he also brought some seeds back from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences in the city center, but when he saw this horrible natural disaster, he still felt that he must try to collect all the seeds he could collect, in case they became extinct later.

Among other things, just talking about the extreme high temperature and extreme cold last year, a large number of plants died. Don't look at the greenery everywhere, but no one knows which plants have long since disappeared.

The lists in Lao Bi's hand have very small characters and are not very nice to read, but they can be clearly read.

Then he handed out the thick stack of lists in his hand, which Li Yu had printed the last time he returned to the Da Zhangshu base.

These cooperators reached out to grab it one after another. Under the order, everyone was only allowed to take one piece, but there were too many people.

So let each small group only take one.

After distributing these lists, these people took the food they had just distributed and left slowly with inexplicable expressions.

Although there is no project to do tomorrow, at least there is hope. I hope that there will be new engineering tasks in the future, and I hope that I can find the things in the list.

In this regard, it took more than a week to repair the wall and complete the task of digging trenches. Most of them did not eat up the food distributed to them every day, and most of them saved it for emergency.

I didn’t expect that the emergency food would be used so quickly.

After leaving the Oil Walled City, many people did not go to the small village two or three kilometers away as before, but dispersed like fairies scattering flowers.

Some people planned to try their luck in other places, some people probably just saw something on the list and knew where it was, so they started searching, and some people returned to the small village not far away , waiting for the next engineering task in Oil City.

Li Yu looked at their leaving figures and let out a long breath.

Turning his head to Li Tie, Ju Tianrui and the others, he said, "We are about to leave for the camphor tree base. You can check again tonight and go back to the camphor tree base tomorrow."

Lao Luo stretched his waist, hammered his shoulders and said, "It's time to go back. I miss the bed in our base. When I go back, ask Hua Lao for a cupping."

His words spoke to many people.

Last time, the helicopter was loaded with guns and ammunition, and few people went back, only Li Yu and others, and most of the others stayed in the oil city. It has been less than a month since then.

In their hearts, unconsciously, they have an inexplicable sense of belonging to the Da Zhangshu Base, and they will miss it after being away for a long time.

Maybe it's because the high walls there give them a sense of security, maybe it's because the infrastructure there is good, there's water and electricity, maybe it's because of the people there

But no matter what, they will go back soon.

When Ju Tianrui heard that Li Yu said that he would return to the Dazhangshu base tomorrow, he was slightly happy. Too many things had happened during this period, and he was also a little tired. Seeing Lao Bi standing in the distance, Lao Bi said this Shi was still happy because the repair work of the trench and the wall had just been completed, and he could finally breathe a sigh of relief with a smile on his face.

Seeing his smile, Ju Tianrui couldn't help but feel a little distressed.

He will stay here for another month.

After all, the shift system starts when the large troops return to the Da Zhangshu base.

After Li Yu gave the order to return tomorrow, Ju Tianrui and the others left to check the preparations.

When Lao Bi, who belatedly realized that they were leaving tomorrow, he was so happy just now, he felt so sad now.

Lao Luo is gone, Lao Yi is gone, Ju Tianrui and Xiao Jun are gone, and the cannons who often come to play cards with him are also gone.

However, it is impossible to leave only Lao Bi, there are forty people left here.

There are also Zuo Ruxue and others that Li Yu brought out from the Da Zhangshu base on the last trip. Lao Bi and Zuo Ruxue also know each other, so they are considered familiar people at least.

There were forty people in Lao Bi's group, twenty-seven in Zuo Ruxue, and more than sixty people together.

Including the 60 or 70 people who stayed in the original oil city, the total number is nearly 140 people.

Coupled with some heavy weapons and firearms that Li Yu left for Lao Bi, there should be no big problem in defending the Oil City.

It's getting late.

The sun sets to the west.

A small village not far from Oil City.

Dozens of collaborators locked doors and hid in slightly better houses.

About half an hour passed.

Night has come.

Zombies appear one after another, coming out of the wilderness and rivers, wandering everywhere.

A Taoist priest wearing tattered clothes and a dusty face broke into this small village.

He looked at the oil city not far away and hesitated.

In the past few days, he had been sleeping in the open air, non-stop, and kept walking this way according to the direction of the helicopter's flight that day.

Since the helicopter traveled in a straight line, the compass he brought was also very accurate. He kept walking in this direction and luckily found this place.

Looking at the lights of the Oil City two or three kilometers away, he murmured: "I wonder if that place is the one who saved me that day."

There were several reasons why he followed.

One is to find your senior brothers. You can ask them in crowded places if they have seen your senior brothers or the others.

The second one was a little curious. The helicopter he saw that day made him suspect that it was from the military. He had never seen a formal government department after the apocalypse broke out.

The three of them were saved by the man in the helicopter that day in danger. If it hadn't been for that man's two cannonballs, he would have been killed in the zombie wave. In line with his feelings, he went to him to say thank you. It should be.

Ho ho!

Suddenly, there was a roar of zombies behind him.

"There are zombies! It seems that we can't go to that small town now. If there are zombies surrounding us in the wilderness, we will be in trouble. We must find a hiding place first." After hearing the roar of the zombies, the Taoist priest felt a chill in his heart and secretly said.

Walking on the dirt road in the village, fortunately there was some moonlight, so I could barely see the road clearly.

After checking left and right, I saw a small farmyard with a well-walled wall more than ten meters ahead.

So he rushed over.

Tap tap tap~

With a kick, he stepped on the dirt road, then pulled his hands towards the wall, and with all his strength, he climbed onto the wall, which was about two meters high.

Turn your body to the inside, put your hands down, and step your feet one after the other into the enclosure.

"Huh?" The Taoist rubbed his hands, feeling that his hands were still a little wet, and it felt like

"Who?" A low exclamation came from the house in front.

Immediately afterwards, six or seven people hula-la came out from the inside. These people held wooden thorns, sticks, and spears in their hands, and looked at him vigilantly.

Due to the darkness and the Taoist priest standing under the wall, the moonlight was blocked by the wall so that they could not see the Taoist priest clearly.

The Taoist priests were all in tatters, making them think that it was zombies breaking in in the dark.

"Kite, did you leave the door open? Why did the zombies break in? It's your fault. It's up to you to deal with this zombie." A female voice with a hoarse but magnetic voice sounded.

"No, my door is closed. Look at the doors are closed now," said a man with a young voice.

"Ahem."

The Taoist priest looked at the wall behind him, walked out of the darkness, coughed twice and then said: "Well. Don't be impulsive. I am a human being. There are zombies outside. I thought there was no one here, so I came in to hide for a while."

As soon as the words fell, there was a roar of zombies outside, and it seemed that they were getting closer and closer to them.

The next second, the female voice rang again, looking at the Taoist priest under the moonlight, hesitating for two seconds.

He said decisively: "The zombies are coming, hurry back to the house, the fence was only repaired today, it's not dry yet, I don't know if it can stop the zombies, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, she beckoned the people next to her to go back to the house.

The Taoist priest scratched his head, a little embarrassed, he wasn't sure if he was included in the man's house.

But when he heard that the zombies outside were getting closer and closer to them, he still followed.

The leading woman, holding something like a mace in her hand, was about to close the door when she saw the Taoist priest approaching, she hesitated.

Afraid that he would not let him in, after closing the door, the Taoist priest felt resentful and attracted the zombies in.

So he opened the half-closed door. When the Taoist priest saw her opening the door, he smiled and said, "Thank you, you are a good person."

The woman was stunned when she heard the words. Through the moonlight, she didn't know if she was dazzled. The Taoist priest's eyes seemed to be shining when he said this.

Clear eyes, like clear water, without any kind of hatred or resentment, very clean eyes.

"The eyes are pretty." The woman looked at these clear eyes and said secretly in her heart.
