Chapter 150 Back to Base
"Oh, my God!"
Looking at the huge city wall in front of them, and recalling the iron fence they had guessed before, they couldn't help but blush secretly. This was just a difference between one day and one place.
The base in front of them was different from before. There was a slightly shorter city wall on the outside. There was also a circle of wooden horses outside the city wall. The whole wall exuded a chilling atmosphere.
Nowadays, the farmland inside can no longer be seen from the outside. A gate that looks very thick has been slowly opened when two cars appeared. Several fully armed team members walked out from behind the wall and faced the two cars. After a salute, the two cars drove through the gate.
Rick looked at the people standing next to the car, saluted in the same way, and then took the lead to get out of the car.
"Get out of the car. From here on, we have to do an inspection."
Rick introduced the rules here to Sam and pointed at the two houses converted from shipping containers next to the gate.
"This is the first outpost when entering the base. It is responsible for checking whether incoming people have scratches or bites. Dorothy, you go to the room over there. There are dedicated female team members to help you check."
Then he patted Sam on the shoulder and motioned to follow him into the house. Several people walked into the house. Rick started to take off his clothes without saying a word, and the others did the same. Only Sam was stunned for a moment, and then he followed the others' actions. Take off your outer clothes.
Several team members began to carefully check the wounds on several people, and soon said it was okay.
Several people saluted Rick and Sean who were getting dressed, and then the leading team member said: "I'm sorry, Captain Rick, it's my duty."
Rick smiled and waved his hands, indicating that it was nothing.
"You are doing a good job. You must ensure that everyone who comes back from the outside must be inspected. We do not allow any threats to enter the base. By the way, are there any new survivors coming today?"
"Yes, a team came after Captain Sean went out in the afternoon."
Rick nodded and said nothing, but he also secretly reminded himself that there should be new survivors next.
Not long after the others came out, Dorothy walked out of the room next to her with a relaxed look on her face.
When Rick saw the two people coming out, he said to Alex next to him: "Take them for a brief walk around the base, and then take them for testing."
Alex agreed happily. After all, he was just a newcomer and was quite interested in this kind of tour guide job.
"Okay Captain Rick!"
In this way, Alex stayed, along with Dylan. After watching Rick and the others drive away, the two turned to smile at Sam and pointed to the entrance of the suspension bridge.
"Let's go. In order for you two to get a better understanding of the base, let's walk in."
Sam nodded awkwardly, and Dorothy suddenly asked a strange question.
"Can I ask? Why do you and the police officer just call you Captain Rico? Why don't you just call Captain?"
Alex turned to look at Dylan before explaining with a smile.
"Because he is temporarily managing this base, and the real captain is someone else. You will gradually understand this in the future, so let's go in first."
The topic quickly passed, and the two of them once again focused on the field nearby. Young sprouts had sprouted in the field not far away. Sam asked excitedly.
"Are these all food? How many are there in this piece?"
Alex pointed to the inner wall and said: "We have widened the inner and outer walls. The previous outer wall was a fence. Now we have pushed it out one hundred and fifty meters. In total, it should be almost thirty acres (one hundred and eighty acres). About ten acres), there are also some newly built greenhouses used for growing vegetables. "
Dorothy's eyes widened and she exclaimed: "Is that so many? How many of you are there?"
Alex also said with some uncertainty: "There are currently more than 600 people. A lot of survivors have come these days. I'm not sure about the specific number. Okay, come with us and take you in." have a look."
Dylan on the side joked: "Follow me, the guards here are very strict. If you two get lost, be careful if you get caught."
Alex bumped into Dylan and explained with some embarrassment: "Don't listen to his nonsense, we follow the rules here, but we won't arrest people for no reason."
Several people walked towards the suspension bridge while talking, while Sam and the others felt more and more powerful about this settlement. The city wall outside was tall and thick. In the fortress above the city wall, a row of thick guns could be clearly seen. mouth.
The crowds of people in the fortress indirectly told them that these weapons were not just decorations.
Walking into the city wall, the base has changed a lot now than before. There are a large number of containers stacked in the open space. Many people are moving things out. Materials of various formats are loaded on carts and transported inside. In the warehouse of the hospital.
On the other side, there are many people modifying these containers. There is a crane next to it to lift the modified empty containers to the city wall. There is an aisle about two meters wide just above the city wall, and the containers can be perfectly embedded in it, so that The entire top of the city wall can be transformed into a passage composed of containers, which greatly improves the defense ability against external intruders. It can also protect against wind and rain, making patrol personnel more comfortable. As long as the baffle of the shooting port is closed, even You can sleep directly in the container.
The surrounding farmhouses and greenhouses are also under construction, and some people are building new farmhouses and greenhouses.
Sam's mouth was grinning from ear to ear. It was so cool here. It was such a safe place. It was unique.
As Alex explained on the side, the two gradually understood the origin of this base. It turned out that a man named Lu organized everyone to establish it.
Hearing this, the two of them were secretly stunned. They had always thought that this was a facility in the apocalypse. They never imagined that it was built after the apocalypse. How many materials were needed to build such a huge base.
Both of them were relatively outgoing people, and they couldn't hide the thoughts in their hearts. They chatted with Alex about this and that along the way, and they soon arrived at the inner courtyard.
The inner courtyard is also being renovated, but the progress is obviously much slower. Starting with the auxiliary buildings on both sides, Rick discussed it with everyone. Anyway, there is a part of the labor force left in the base, and they plan to upgrade the buildings in the inner courtyard.
The buildings in the inner courtyard are now very high, but the utilization rate is not high. In addition to the unit rooms, there are a large number of corridors and public areas, which take up too much space. Now we want to demolish and rebuild from both sides, and high-pressure the floors. Lower it, build a few more floors, and gradually transform the inner courtyard into a living area that can accommodate a large number of survivors.
When they reached the inner courtyard, Alex had roughly finished explaining. He looked at the two people who were inexplicably excited and slightly raised his voice to remind them.
"You will have to go through a test next, and then there will be a two-day quarantine period, and finally there will be an evaluation period, which will be based on the performance of the two of you in the test, so I wish you good luck, and now come with me for a test Bar."
…
After the test, the two people were taken to the isolation area by a team member. There were many survivors in the isolation area. Sam's eyes swept over the faces of these people one by one, and he gradually showed a disappointed expression. The team didn't seem to find it here. "
The team members at the front stopped in front of the door of an isolation room, opened the door and said to the two of them: "Fighting, killing, and rape of women are not allowed here. Anyone who violates the rules will be judged by the base. The daily food will be Deliver it on time, please stay here for now and see you in two days."
"Okay, sir."
"You can call me John."
"Okay Mr. John."
The moment Sam stepped into the isolation room, someone's cry of surprise rang out in the room.
Sam looked up and suddenly had a smile on his face.
"Haha, you're not dead! That's great! Where is Gal?"
The speaker's face darkened when he heard this, and his mood became a little depressed: "Gaal didn't last until the end."
