Chapter 924: A snake swallows an elephant when the human heart is not enough, the discovery of the i

Surrounded by mountains, winding roads pass through dense mountain forests.

From Kunshi to Dazhangshu Base, we pass through hilly areas, including many tunnels and caves.

September 6th.

clear.

The sky is shining brightly, and one look at the sky tells me that the weather is good today.

Li Yu and others drove vehicles and drove slowly toward the Da Zhangshu Base with a convoy several kilometers long.

The convoy was huge and the formation was not small. Wherever it went, the birds and beasts on both sides of the road were frightened and fled.

The helicopters in the sky flew slowly, always keeping a helicopter patrolling a few kilometers or even dozens of kilometers in front of the convoy to ensure that there would be no ambush ahead or to understand the situation in advance.

The distance from Dazhangshu Base to Kunming City is more than 1,000 kilometers.

Due to the large number of vehicles, in order to ensure that they could keep up with them, the driving speed was only forty yards per hour. At this speed, it would take at least three days for them to reach the Da Zhangshu base.

Boom boom boom——

The convoy entered a tunnel.

The zombies in this tunnel have been eliminated by Ju Tianrui and the others as the vanguard convoy.

Ju Tianrui walked at the front with two infantry fighting vehicles and an armored transport vehicle, specifically to clear out trouble for the convoy behind.

That's why they were able to maintain a speed of forty yards per hour, otherwise they would waste more time by stopping and going.

In the tunnel.

Li Yu sat in the armored RV, looking out the window at the tunnel holes illuminated by the car lights.

The original gray cement wall was stained with some blood stains.

Further up is the huge ventilation pipe in the tunnel.

Even with the illumination of car lights, since there are no lights in the tunnel, you can still only see the road ahead clearly, but not the surrounding situation clearly.

The tunnel has been cleared by Ju Tianrui and the others, so only some zombie corpses can be seen.

The vehicle ran over the corpse of the zombie, making a squeaking sound.

Under the crushing force of hundreds of vehicles, the corpse of the zombie had already been crushed into a meat pie.

Uh-huh!

Suddenly his eyes lit up.

Li Yu and the others have already driven out of the tunnel.

As soon as he walked out of the tunnel, Li Yu saw a sea of ​​bamboos all over the mountains and plains.

When I went to Kunshi, my mood was completely different from when I returned with a lot of supplies.

I gained a lot from this trip. I didn’t look at many of the supplies in the car carefully. I just took a quick look when loading them into the car.

There are so many supplies, filling hundreds of vehicles, that it takes a lot of time to go back and sort out the registration.

Under such circumstances, Li Yu was in a good mood.

Although there was a message from Oil City yesterday regarding a request for cooperation from Southern Paradise, he was not too worried about it at the time.

According to the memory of his previous life, Mr. Hu, the helmsman of Southern Paradise, still has some bottom lines. It is normal for him to come here now to seek cooperation.

The bamboo sea swayed in the wind.

Bamboo leaves, blown by the wind, look like waves in the lake.

Bamboo leaves are flying.

The rustling sound makes people feel relaxed and relaxed after hearing it.

Soon it was noon.

The helicopter driven by Uncle San and the others also needs to be refueled.

On the helicopter.

The third uncle saw a relatively flat area ahead, with mountains and forests hundreds of miles away.

The view is good.

So he took out his walkie-talkie and contacted Li Yu.

"Xiaoyu, there is a suitable resting place five kilometers ahead of you. Stop there when the time comes. We can add some fuel to the helicopter."

After hearing what Third Uncle said, Li Yu said, "Okay, let's stop later."

The convoy drove to the national highway in the middle of the open space.

Both sides of the national highway are full of weeds, and it can still be vaguely seen from the field ridges that there used to be farmland on both sides of the national highway.

In the last three years, the farmland has long been abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

Li Yu felt calm in his heart. He got off the armored RV and his buttocks ached from sitting in the armored RV. He had to sit for at least two days in the next two days.

After getting out of the car, he saw the convoy with no end behind him.

People in the car got off one after another to solve personal problems.

In order to seize the time, the convoy never stopped. Once a car in the middle stopped, the following vehicles would also stop.

So many people inside have been holding it in for a long time, and now they are finally released.

The air seemed to be filled with the smell of urine.

After Third Uncle and the others landed the helicopter, they refueled the helicopter.

Half an hour later, they set off again.

The convoy, which was like a long dragon, not only caused the birds and beasts passing by to retreat in fright, but also some survivors were so frightened that they fled from the road and hurriedly hid in the mountains and forests, dumbfounded in the dark, wondering where the convoy came from. , and where are they going?

However, even if Li Yu discovered them, after seeing that there was no threat, he would ignore them and drive straight towards the Da Zhangshu base.

Xincheng.

The fifth satellite city.

The imperial concubine has a habit of getting up early, so she gets up early in the morning to pack the things she needs to carry today.

She, Lao Huang, and Xiao Ye gained a lot of points and food by virtue of the discovery of a large number of brass wires.

But they did not use up all the points. These points can be matched with corresponding food. After the redemption, although the points number is still there, the food will not be given to you again.

Some teams of cooperative personnel occasionally found something urgently needed in the mission released by the Da Zhangshu Base, which could be exchanged for hundreds of kilograms of grain at once.

But in the apocalypse, carrying so much food is very dangerous.

Although they are all within the sphere of influence of the Da Zhangshu Base, no one will come to rob them, but in the middle of the night, what if someone steals them.

Moreover, they often have to go out to perform tasks, and it is very unsafe to carry hundreds of kilograms of food at all times.

All in all, the first team proposed to temporarily store the redeemable grain at the Da Zhangshu Base and come back to retrieve it when needed later.

After all, it is very safe for them to be placed in the Da Zhangshu base.

Of course, it is safest to keep things like food in your own hands, but for some people, holding too much food is also dangerous.

After cooperating with Dazhangshu Base for so long, these people have a relatively high degree of recognition and trust in Dazhangshu Base. In addition, there was the first person to do this, and a small number of people continued to do so.

Most of the people currently doing this are non-staff personnel, as well as elderly people who have cooperated with the Da Zhangshu Base for a long time.

For the Da Zhangshu Base, there is no need to take out so much food at once, why not put the food on their side?

Therefore, under the needs of the two, such an option of storing food was opened.

Similar to a pre-apocalyptic bank.

After all, in this apocalyptic world, the most common thing with the most purchasing power is food.

After the imperial concubine and Old Huangtou got a lot of brass wires that time, their points went up.

Each of the three of them has more than a hundred kilograms of grain.

This is a huge sum of money.

Enough to feed them for a whole year!

In the Dazhangshu base, except for the people in the inner and outer cities, no one can eat three meals a day and be full at every meal.

This is too luxurious for them.

After experiencing the pain of hunger, you will be like a hamster, constantly thinking of ways to reserve food for the future in case you need it.

They no longer want to live a life where they are so hungry that they feel dizzy and their eyes turn green.

The imperial concubine was in a good mood.

She suddenly became rich a few days ago, which gave her the confidence to continue living.

Although we are in the fifth satellite city farthest from the Da Zhangshu Base and are not as safe as those around the base, the competitiveness here is not as intense as there, and it is easier to earn points.

The sun hasn't come out yet.

The sky was blue-grey and misty.

It was just after five o'clock.

Squeak——

The imperial concubine opened the door and planned to get some water from the well outside to wash her face.

In the center of the fifth satellite city, there are three buildings and two rows of prefabricated houses made of iron sheets.

The imperial concubine walked out of the wooden room and looked up to see the personnel on duty guarding the gate.

I felt a little sense of security in my heart.

Pass through the board house and walk to the end of the tin board house.

We were about to reach the well.

Suddenly, she heard voices coming from the wooden house at the end.

?

The imperial concubine was a little confused, slowed down her pace, and listened.

"I think we should not get involved in this matter. It is a serious matter. The strength of the Da Zhangshu Base has also been seen. We finally joined the fifth satellite city and joined their protests. If it causes the Da Zhangshu Guo The captain was dissatisfied and even the Da Zhangshu base took action, but we had no power to resist."

A thick man's voice said in a very iron tone:

"Hey, why can't I explain it to you? According to internal rumors, the main force of Da Zhangshu Base is no longer in Xincheng. What are you afraid of? Qiu Yuanze and the others are right. There are so many people coming from the southwest now, as long as we work together , protesting together, it’s impossible to kill so many of us.”

Another young man replied:

"Lao He, I don't care what you think, anyway, I don't want to go through this muddy water. How can you not be satisfied if you can escape all the way and find such a good place? Do you insist on making trouble? This is not the case."

He didn't say it out loud, but the older man understood what he meant.

"Think about it again. If we can succeed, everyone's salary will be improved by then. Why do we need to do so many tasks in exchange for such a small amount of food.

This is not a gift, this is not a cooperative transaction, this is the exploitation of our labor.

This Da Zhangshu Base is also a human being. They let us take risks to find supplies, while they stay in the tall walls, which is really irritating. "

The young man frowned, as if he was unhappy with what the old He in front of him said.

So he said:

"You don't have to say anymore. If this is the reason why you came to me so early in the morning, I can give you an accurate answer.

I won't join. "

The older Lao He said helplessly:

"Okay, okay, Xiao Ou, you just have to keep this secret for me and don't let it leak out, otherwise it won't be good for you."

There was a hint of threat in his words.

"I know. You should leave quickly. It will be dawn soon. It will be troublesome if others find out."

"Okay, Xiao Ou, if you figure it out, you can tell me at any time. To tell you the truth, there are many people who are willing to participate in this protest!"

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

The imperial concubine who was eavesdropping outside the door felt nervous, and tiptoed towards the wooden house, then walked around in a circle and walked to the back of the wooden house.

Squeak——

She heard the sound of a door opening in front of the cabin, followed by a rush of footsteps that were getting farther and farther away.

The imperial concubine quietly poked her head out and glanced at the retreating figure.

He Zhi!

She knew this person. He came here from the southwest a month ago.

I completed several missions, so I was able to stay in the satellite city.

Lucky for He Zhi, he entered the satellite city before Supervisor Li issued the restriction order.

There was a robbery incident before, so since then, it has been very difficult for the collaborators who joined later to enter the satellite city.

But this He Zhi joined in before that incident.

Unexpectedly, this He Zhi actually planned to cause trouble?

No, to be precise, the Qiu Yuanze just mentioned is the person who led this matter, and who is this Qiu Yuanze?

Recently, there have been a lot of people coming from the southwest. From the first few people to dozens of people, hundreds of people poured in in the next day.

There should be more than five thousand survivors here now.

Most of the people stayed here, while a small number of people left and continued walking eastward.

The influx of these people is not a good thing for the imperial concubine and other collaborators who joined earlier.

This means there are more people competing with them.

Everyone can perform the tasks issued by the Da Zhangshu Base, and there is only so much food that can be exchanged.

Therefore, in this case, there will inevitably be some conflicts between the old collaborators and the new collaborators. However, under the constraints of the Da Zhangshu Base, no one dares to openly conflict.

In addition, the Da Zhangshu Base actually has some preferential treatment for its old partners. For example, in the satellite city nowadays, almost all of them are old partners.

It is very difficult for new collaborators to stay here.

After all, the Da Zhangshu Base is not a charity. If the mission is not completed, it will not give you any food.

After you complete the task, they will give you food.

The imperial concubine's expression remained as normal, and she still went to the well to fetch water and wash her face. On the way back, she even met a co-worker she knew and said hello.

After returning to the lounge, she did not disturb Lao Huang and the others, but slowly packed up the things she was going to go out for today.

As time passed, Lao Huang and others also woke up.

Then they cooked something to eat in their own iron pots as usual, and then left the satellite city.

Lao Huang, Xiaoye, and Guifei formed a group.

After all, they all came from the motorcycle gang before, and after arriving at the Zhangshu base, they also chose to come to the fifth satellite city together.

So we know each other well.

Compared to others, they still trust each other more.

Especially after experiencing the practice of being robbed, the small group of three people became more stable.

The imperial concubine is good at archery, her skills are not bad, she is soft on the outside but hard on the inside, and has an iron frame.

Although Lao Huang is older, he is experienced and resourceful. He can always find some cost-effective tasks to perform and can always give the best solution in dangerous moments.

Xiao Ye is tall and thin, a sharp-tongued young man, but he has a kind-hearted nature and is not a frivolous person. He works hard and without complaint. He is a good helper even though he is young.

When looking for teammates in the apocalypse, character is greater than ability.

No matter how strong your teammates are, they may directly betray you and kill you when faced with an opportunity to get rich.

Whether it is Lao Huang or the imperial concubine, they are quite satisfied with each other. As they perform more missions together, the trust and relationship between them have deepened a lot.

Come out of the satellite city.

They were driving a motorcycle, pulling a wooden flatbed behind.

Xiaoye was driving, and Lao Huang and the concubine were sitting on the cart behind.

Like a turtle speed.

Lao Huang looked around, there was no one else.

He seemed to say to the concubine unintentionally: "Concubine, you seem to have something on your mind."

The imperial concubine glanced at Old Huang in surprise.

This old man is so smart.

I had no intention of hiding it, but it was just not convenient to talk about it in the satellite city just now. I planned to tell Lao Huang about it when I went out to perform tasks.

Lao Huang is a person who knows how to maximize profits.

Although the imperial concubine wanted to tell Guo Peng the first moment after hearing the news, she had second thoughts.

She has no evidence! And she didn't even know who Qiu Yuanze was.

It might be better if we have more information.

An hour later.

They arrived outside a small town.

The imperial concubine pointed to the path on the side of the road, Xiaoye was confused. Lao Huang asked him to drive in.

Entering a dense forest.

The imperial concubine looked at Lao Huang and Xiaoye and said, "Some new people want to cause trouble!"

Old Huang's eyes narrowed, he got off the cart, his eyes were bright, and he said seriously: "What should I say? Tell us the details."

(Ask for monthly ticket)
