Chapter 1013: Reinforcements From the North, Taoist Priests Go South
Ji City.
Two Taoist priests wearing tattered cotton-padded robes and black draped hats were running through the mountains and forests, and it looked like they were running in the south.
The curtains and hats on their heads were slightly moved by the wind as they ran. There is a wide brim around the hat, and there is a dense drooping silk mesh under the brim, which reaches the neck to cover the face.
The short and fat Taoist suddenly shouted to the tall and thin Taoist in front of him: "Wait a minute, I have been running for more than an hour. Take a break and let me take a breath."
After saying that, he ignored the reaction of the tall and thin Taoist priest in front of him and walked to a big tree with dense shade and sat down.
The roots of the big tree were protruding, and he happened to sit on the roots of the big tree.
He lifted up the black net on his hat, took a few deep breaths, and then took out a plastic bottle from his waist. This plastic bottle contained water.
It's just that this combination doesn't quite match his outfit.
He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, took a sip and felt it tasted like plastic. He smashed it and said to the tall and thin Taoist priest who came over:
"I wish I hadn't dropped my gourd. The water in this plastic bottle has a weird smell."
After hearing this, the tall and thin Taoist priest sat down and took out a gourd and poured some water into it before saying:
"The weather is so hot, plastic is easily burned by the sun, but if you lose your gourd, just throw it away, it won't affect you."
The short and fat Taoist looked at the dense leaves above his head and said, "We have been walking for a day and haven't encountered any survivors. Are you sure you are going south? Let me tell you, we might as well be on Sanqing Mountain. wait.
If he is still alive, he will definitely come back to the mountains to find us. "
The tall and thin Taoist priest looked at a small seedling on the ground not far away. There were two small withered purple flowers on the small seedling.
His eyes lit up, and he walked closer and stretched out his hand to take a closer look at the leaf pattern of this small seedling.
"Ha!" The tall and thin Taoist priest was delighted and pulled out the long sword from his back.
Clang!
The long sword is sharp and reflects colorful light under the dots of sunlight.
He carefully dug the soil with this sword, and then dug the soil bit by bit.
After the short and fat Taoist priest finished speaking, he received no reply. When he looked up, he saw the tall and thin Taoist priest digging a hole over there.
So he got up and walked away, while saying, "What are you doing?"
Come closer.
Seeing the small seedling placed next to him by the tall and thin Taoist priest, the short and fat Taoist priest said with some surprise: "Is this kudzu root?"
The tall and thin Taoist priest said without looking back: "Yes, come and help dig. These kudzu seedlings have been dried by the sun. Look at them in front of you."
The short and fat Taoist priest hurried over to help.
Half an hour later, the two of them sat under the shade of a tree and looked at five or six kudzu roots in front of them, which were as thick as arms and a full meter long.
Pueraria lobata contains a large amount of vitamins, cellulose, starch, protein and other nutrients. It can be used as a staple food and provide a large amount of energy to the human body.
This much kudzu is enough for them to eat for a month.
In the apocalypse, if you know a little bit about traditional Chinese medicine and a little bit about agricultural botany, if you still have some skills, you won't starve to death no matter what you do.
The two cleaned up the kudzu, cleared away the soil on the surface, tied it with a rope and put it behind their backs, and continued running south.
Kudzu root is very durable and can be stored for a long time if left as it is. If it is ground into powder and then exposed to the sun and dried, it can be stored for a longer period of time.
Gan Province.
The sun is shining brightly.
Six helicopters appeared in the sky.
After Li Yu and the others left Zhongshi, they flew all the way to the Da Zhangshu base.
They have no extra fuel, so they can't fly off the straight line.
After flying for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the Da Zhangshu base.
Many collaborators and non-staff members working on the construction site of the Fourth Outer City looked up at the sky.
"That's it? Don't we only have three helicopters in our base? Why are there three more helicopters?"
"I don't know. Yesterday evening, I saw a helicopter flying back. Could it be a new one found by the base?"
"Could it be an enemy attack?"
Hearing him say this, the people around him looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.
"Didn't you see that the people on the wall didn't do anything? If they were enemy planes, they would have attacked long ago."
"Yes, so the air power of our Da Zhangshu base has been strengthened again?"
"should be"
While they were talking, the helicopter slowly landed.
The barbican has long been cleared, leaving enough space for them to park.
Six helicopters flew down one after another and landed steadily on the ground.
Li Hang looked at these six helicopters with excitement. If we add the one going north to Oil City, there are now seven helicopters in Da Zhangshu Base.
On average, each helicopter can carry 25 people, so seven helicopters can carry 175 people.
It is very convenient to transport troops or supplies by air.
Li Yu and the others walked out of the helicopter.
The second uncle, Li Hang and others gathered around one after another, and Li Hang observed the newly brought helicopters at close range, his eyes flashing, and the smile on his lips never stopped.
"Third brother, Xiaoyu, it seems that this trip went well. It only took one day to find four new helicopters. Now we are facing the northern federation, and we have a lot of confidence!" Uncle said with a smile.
The third uncle carried the package, and then said to the second uncle: "Second brother, you guys talk, I will go back to the inner city first."
"Yeah, okay."
Uncle San has been flying back and forth three times since yesterday. Uncle Er thought he was a little tired.
Li Yu looked at Uncle Er and said, "I talked to Uncle San last night and felt that there are already seven helicopters in the base, and now the Northern Federation does not know what to do with us in the future.
Oil City is far away from the base, so Uncle San and I think it is necessary to get a helicopter to stay in Oil City for a long time. At that time, it will be more convenient for Oil City to patrol or do anything."
Uncle Er heard this and thought about it carefully and said, "What you said makes sense. I have no objection."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Yeah, then send a few pilots to send the helicopter over tomorrow, and also stay in Oil City for them to use."
"Okay, have you chosen the personnel?" Uncle Er asked.
Li Yu remembered that on the way back this time, He Ma and the other two were not bad.
So he said, "Yes, He Ma and that Huachen."
"In addition, in order to strengthen the power in Oil City, let Zhu Xiao and the others prepare and let them go to Oil City as well."
"Okay." Uncle Er replied.
Since there are often cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel coming in and out of the fourth outer city in Wengcheng, Li Yu asked Lao Luo to move all the helicopters to the second outer city.
The maintenance factory in the second outer city is very large, covering several acres.
The ceiling is also as high as ten meters, so helicopters are often parked here during natural disasters.
The wind, sun and rain all day long will also cause certain damage to the helicopter.
After returning to the base, Li Yu communicated with his second uncle about some things and then returned to the inner city.
As soon as he entered the inner city, he saw Qingyang and Li Yuan walking towards the outer city together.
"Brother."
"City Lord."
Li Yu looked at the two and waved his hand in response.
With the help of Qingyang, grandpa's health was very good.
And because they often went in and out of the inner city, Li Yu's parents gradually became familiar with Qingyang, especially Li's mother, who liked Qingyang more and more.
Li Yu returned to the villa area in the inner city, and his whole body was still a little wet.
Just after getting off the helicopter, I asked Lao Bi and the others to spray with water guns, after all, Li Yu and the others came back from a place with many nuclear radiation zombies.
Taking off the radiation protection suit that he had worn for two days, Li Yu went to the shower head to wash his body.
After taking a shower, he felt much lighter.
Holding the water cup, he slowly walked to the basement and chose a movie to watch.
The solar radiation outside was still strong. After seeing the helicopter in the sky, the cooperative staff and non-staff staff in the fourth outer city were surprised for a while, and then returned to normal construction work.
Time was like water, and it was night in a blink of an eye.
The cooperative staff who had worked all day returned to the greenhouse of the first outer city.
Dai Jiusheng saw his son running towards him, and a trace of tenderness appeared in his eyes.
Holding his son's hand, Dai Jiusheng walked to the group next door where Luo Gui was, and said to Damei:
"Sister Mei, I trouble you again today to help me take care of my son. This is my little gift. Please accept it."
As he said, he gave half of the food he got today to Damei.
Damei refused repeatedly, saying, "No, no, I'm just taking a break. Xiaomang is also very cute, I like her very much."
Dai Jiusheng repeatedly handed her food, but was rejected by Damei again.
"We are all old partners, and we have accumulated some. On the contrary, you two, father and son, have just joined. You should keep it. In addition, save your points for exchanging food first." Damei taught Dai Jiusheng how to save points.
Dai Jiusheng looked at this woman who was not outstanding in appearance, and a warm current surged in his heart.
How long has it been since he felt the kindness of others?
It's been too long.
He listened carefully, and looked up at Damei from time to time.
Luo Gui, who was sitting in the tent, took a steel basin to get some water from the first outer city residential area, and sat there to drink water.
The water in the residential area has been filtered by a water purifier, so it can be drunk without boiling.
"Brother Gui, do you think there is something wrong with them?" A member of the team next to him came over and said sneakily.
After Luo Gui drank two sips of water, he glanced at Dai Jiusheng and Damei who were standing not far away and chatting.
He said, "This Dai Jiusheng is a good person and has ability. I guess Damei likes him."
"Why don't we just bring him into our team?" The team member suggested.
Luo Gui frowned, thought about it carefully, and said,
"Our team's points will soon reach the level of non-staff personnel. If he joins us, he has just joined the big camphor tree base and his personal points should not be much.
If so, our team's points will be pulled down."
The team member also thought of this problem, but he still said,
"Brother Gui, I heard that Dai Jiusheng came from the army before, and his skills must be good. If he can join, it will definitely greatly improve the strength of our entire team."
Luo Gui felt that what he said made sense, but after all, letting Dai Jiusheng join would lower their average points. For the unity within the team, he had to adopt a more appropriate way to make everyone accept it.
Oil City.
In the meeting room.
Ju Tianrui looked at Xiao Jun, Li Tie and others present and said:
"Tomorrow should be the time for Southern Paradise to come over to trade. I just received news from the headquarters that the city lord and the others have found a few more helicopters in Guangdong Province. They plan to ask Zhu Xiao and the others to come over tomorrow to reinforce us."
Xiao Jun heard this and said with a smile: "Good news, when will they arrive tomorrow?"
"It is estimated to be two o'clock in the afternoon. In addition, the Secretary of the Interior said that when you go to the Southern Paradise, remind them to pay attention to the Northern Federation in the north." Ju Tianrui said.
Li Tie frowned and said, "So, do the headquarters think that the Northern Federation will send people over again?"
Cannon slammed the table and said: "If they dare to come again, we will let them come without any return. We will kill as many as they come!"
Li Tie quickly said: "The Northern Federation is very powerful, we cannot underestimate each other. I am thinking, why don't we take the initiative?"
Ju Tianrui said hesitantly: "The distance is so far, and the Northern Federation is so strong, it is difficult for the logistics force to keep up. Traveling so far is not worth the gain."
Cannon said a little arrogantly: "If you ask me, just put the zombie attracting potion in there and have it all in one pot."
"This thing cannot be used easily. Once it is used, if the Northern Federation does not completely collapse, it will have a life-and-death relationship with us. Until that point, I think it is better not to use it like that!
And there are not many survivors alive now. The Northern Federation is just sending people over to investigate the situation and has not taken action against us.
If we directly use the most powerful weapons, many people will definitely die. Ju Tianrui said.
"Then what does the headquarters mean?" Cannon asked a little depressed.
"Let us wait first." Ju Tianrui said.
Everyone was a little confused.
But they didn't know that the solar radiation would pass soon, and a blizzard disaster would usher in.
As Li Yu and the others knew, the Northern Federation already had six helicopters. There were certain risks in releasing zombie attracting agents.
He wanted to see the attitude of the Northern Federation. According to the information he had learned so far, the situation inside the Northern Federation was quite complicated.
If that Yuan Zhi is really as reasonable as Liu Weimeng and the others said, and if cooperation can be facilitated, then everyone will naturally be happy.
But if the Northern Federation wants to come and plunder, then Li Yu will naturally not be polite to them.
After leaving the Oil City, Da Dao and others, who were subordinate to Governor Yuan Zhi, headed south.
At this time, we have arrived at Xing County in the north of Dazhangshu Base.
It is less than 80 kilometers away from Da Zhangshu Base.
There were only a few of them, seven people in two cars.
Park the vehicle in an abandoned auto repair shop.
Dadao, Vincent and others were hiding in a room on the third floor of the auto repair shop.
In the darkness, a voice sounded.
"We should be able to get to Dazhangshu Base tomorrow. Let me reiterate again, don't be discovered by people from Dazhangshu Base.
Liu Weimeng and his gang have been arrested by people in Oil City, so the people at Da Zhangshu Base must know about the existence of the Northern Federation.
If we are also discovered, we will end up with the same fate as Liu Weimeng and others.
Let alone not going back, the mission cannot be completed! "
The words just fell.
Vincent said: "Brother, why don't we go back? That oil city is like a turtle shell and it's impossible to get in, let alone the big camphor tree base behind it. Even if we go there, we can't detect anything, right? ?
In fact, it might even be easily discovered. We also saw that day. They had helicopters. If they found us, it would be difficult for us to run away. "
Dadao was a little hesitant when he heard what Vincent said.
But in the end I don’t know why but I still firmed up my attitude.
"We don't want to get too close, just observe from a distance. They are here. Even if we can't find any news, at least we have to confirm one thing, where is this big camphor tree base."
Vincent heard his elder brother say that if he just found the location of the camphor tree base, the difficulty of the task would suddenly become much lower.
To be honest, he always had a bad feeling in his heart when he saw Liu Weimeng and the others being arrested a few days ago.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly cursed in his heart: Liu Weimeng and his gang really fail to accomplish anything and fail more than they do!
Being treated like this by Liu Weimeng and the others, they are now somewhat passive.
But so far, thankfully, they have not been discovered.
But, that's all.
