Ye Hao was talking to an arms dealer in Jinshan City.

"Sir, what you have explained is already a bit of an eyebrow, and there are still some formalities that have not been completed, but they can all be completed in three days at most. ”

"Great, good job Davy. ”

"I'll be happy to help you, and I'll let you know when I'm done with it. ”

"OK, I'm waiting for your good news. ”

Three days later, accompanied by David, Ye Hao came to a warehouse near the California border, where several tanks and armored vehicles were neatly arranged.

After David's introduction, Ye Hao knew that the weapons and equipment in front of him included 4 M1A1 main battle tanks, 4 M2 infantry combat vehicles, 4 M109A6 155mm self-propelled guns, as well as supporting ammunition supply vehicles, command vehicles, fuel vehicles, maintenance vehicles, etc., as well as 20 armed Humvee off-road vehicles. Although this equipment was only armed by the United States around the year 2000 and has been retired from active service, it is very well maintained, and almost ninety percent new.

Ye Hao was very satisfied, with these equipment, as long as the relevant personnel were matched, a reinforced armored company could be formed. If you encounter T4 again in the last days, you can destroy it as long as you have the right tactics.

Ye Hao estimated that the weight of these equipment, plus the guns, ammunition and food stolen a few days ago, should be about 800 tons, and there are still 200 tons away from the quota of 1,000 tons. In addition, as he upgraded to a second-level genobody, the system space he carried with him was also upgraded to a cube of 3 to the second power, with a volume of 729 cubic meters.

"System, is it okay for Davy to earn space for these equipment?"

"David's loyalty to the host will never waver!"

Ye Hao nodded: "Then let's enter the space." Ye Hao looked at him in amazement, and put these weapons and equipment into the quota space of 1,000 tons one by one.

After finishing, Ye Hao said to David again: "David, you help me buy 600 tons of fuel, three fuel tank trucks, two refrigerated trucks, five large buses, and three vans." Well, a refrigerated truck for meat, a vegetable for the other, and a little more cooking oil and spices for purchase, a batch of military tents. ”

The food in the last days is really lackluster, and now that the conditions are improving, of course Ye Hao can't treat himself badly.

David was very efficient and had everything ready that night.

After calculation, these materials, together with tanks and other equipment, are about 35 million US dollars, which is already the cost price. Ye Hao's last box of masonry to David was valued at about 10 million US dollars, and Ye Hao handed over the hundreds of kilograms of gold to David for 5 million, which was still 20 million US dollars. Romanoff's account in the Swiss bank, Ye Hao doesn't want to touch it for the time being, no one knows whether that account is being monitored, for the sake of security, let's wait and see.

"It seems that we can only find a way in the last days. Ye Hao put all the materials into the space, as for the 20 million US dollars, he could only owe it first, and after explaining to David, he returned to Jinshan City.

At noon the next day, Ye Hao went to the hotel's restaurant to have a full meal, returned to his room, checked the various substances filled in the space, thought about it carefully, and made sure that he had traveled to the end of the world without missing anything.

The night of the end of the world was extremely cold, and even though Ye Hao had five times the physique of the second-level gene body, he couldn't help but sneeze. The camp was the same as when he left, and everyone was enjoying the peace of escape and ascension, except for the necessary precautions. Ye Hao didn't bother anyone, and found a quiet corner to think about his future behavior.

Early the next morning, Ye Hao left the campsite, and then found an open place nearby, which was about six or seven hundred meters away from the camp, across the road from the campsite.

"System, just send 1,000 tons of quota materials here!"

"Dingdong, according to the host's requirements, start quota transportation. ”

Ye Hao felt a flash in front of his eyes, and various materials arranged neatly appeared on the open ground, he looked at the scene in front of him with satisfaction, and took out some of the materials from the system space he carried with him and put them together.

Ye Hao returned to the camp and took Professor Tesla, Natasha and the others to the open area where the matter was stacked.

Everyone was stunned by the scene in front of them: dozens of armed vehicles, led by four M1A1 main battle tanks, looked very powerful in the early morning sun, and behind the armed vehicles were civilian vehicles such as trucks, buses, and fuel tankers. They were even more pleasantly surprised by two refrigerated trucks loaded with meat and vegetables. They looked at Ye Hao in shock, waiting for his explanation.

Ye Hao smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "Uh...... There are some things that I can't explain clearly, and you can think of them as support from my organization. ”

Everyone reluctantly accepted this ambiguous explanation, and then went back to the camp very excitedly to call for someone to receive the supplies.

Hundreds of people gathered happily, and the scene of commotion was very lively.

Ye Hao called Dr. Tesla and others aside: "We now have a team of more than 300 people, and I think it is necessary to organize it to facilitate management." ”

Everyone agreed with Ye Hao's suggestion.

After discussion, everyone unanimously agreed to officially elect the leader of Ye Hao's team.

Ye Hao suggested that the entire team be temporarily divided into three parts: the Armed Forces Department, the Civil Department and the Logistics Department.

Ye Hao is the head of the armed forces department, which consists of two parts: an armored detachment and an infantry detachment. The armored detachment was led by Barnes, and the infantry detachment was led by Lawrence.

Due to the lack of personnel, it is now only possible to ensure that all vehicles have drivers, and the accompanying combatants can only slowly figure out how to find a way. However, Ye Hao still equipped two tanks, two self-propelled guns, and two infantry combat vehicles with combat personnel. A reinforced armored platoon was formed, which was related to the safety of the entire team, and Ye Hao did not dare to be sloppy. This is already the limit, and if you redistribute it, there will not even be enough drivers to drive the vehicle.

The Civil Department is headed by Dr. Tesla, and the Civil Department is mainly staffed by researchers and technical engineers who have survived the original Maple Leaf Town, as well as women and children.

The head of the logistics department is Natasha, and James, the former leader of the South Gate guard of the Maple Leaf Base, serves as Natasha's deputy. The logistics department manages and distributes all kinds of materials, and at the same time, Ye Hao specially assigned thirty armed guards to Natasha to protect the materials.

Ye Hao also referred to the model of the Chinese government and set up a committee (Standing Committee), the members (Standing Committee) are Dr. Tesla, Natasha, Barnes, Lawrence, James, Ye Hao serves as the chairman (secretary) and has a veto power. The committee adopted "democratic centralism" - that is, when Ye Hao did not use the veto power of one vote, he adopted a system in which the minority obeyed the majority.

What gave Ye Hao a headache was that Jessica's girl had to join the committee, in her words: The committee includes five members and a chairman, the number is even, it is easy to have a 3:3 situation, and her joining can better realize democratic centralism! Such a lofty reason makes Ye Hao have no way to refute it at all, so he can only reluctantly agree. In addition, at Jessica's request, she served as Dr. Tesla's deputy. In short, in the fight with Jessica, Ye Hao was completely at a disadvantage and had almost no power to fight back.

After some allocation, the structure of the team was clearly built, which facilitated future management.

Throughout the day, the team was in the midst of a lot of distractions, and it was almost in the evening that the assignment was basically completed. Then, the Logistics Department, with the cooperation of the Civil Department, began to prepare dinner, and the personnel of the Armed Forces Department were involved, in addition to the necessary vigilance.

The great abundance of supplies made the dinner very rich, and it was the first time since the outbreak of the cataclysm that people were able to taste food without restraint. After a full meal, everyone gathered together to talk and laugh happily, enjoying the peace that was rare in the last days.

Ye Hao sat on the roof of an M1A1 main battle tank and looked at the lively scene in front of him with a smile.

"Thank you, Robert!" Ye Hao turned his head and found that it was Natasha, she climbed into the tank and sat next to Ye Hao: "It was you who took them to escape the threat of death, and now it is you who bring them hope of survival." ”

"It's nothing, I just did what I could. ”

"You know what? Before I met you, I was about to lose my support, and the team at that time was short of supplies and was just one step away from falling apart. After you appeared, I gradually relaxed, and it is only today that I can truly let go of my burden. The future is still difficult, but I am confident that you will be able to lead us to the light! Thank you!"

Ye Hao turned his head to look at Natasha: "Natasha, thank you for your trust." Our road will get wider and wider!"

"Well, I believe you!" Natasha quickly kissed Ye Hao on the face after speaking.

The softness of the dragonfly made Ye Hao stunned, and then he was "ashamed" and thought: By being despised by this foreign girl, the dignified Chinese man can't suffer! Ye Hao hugged Natasha and "gnawed" Natasha's lips.

A few minutes later, the two who almost died reluctantly broke off the long French wet kiss. Ye Hao took a few breaths, looked at Natasha's delicate face, and couldn't help but want to restart the battle.

At this time, that nasty voice sounded again: "Robert, you are bullying Sister Natasha again!"

Ye Hao was furious: "Jessica, are you a stinky girl a dog?"

Who knew that Jessica didn't pay attention to him at all, and deliberately said to Natasha: "Sister Natasha, I'm sleepy, you can sleep with me!"

Natasha smiled apologetically at Ye Hao: "I'll go back first." Then he jumped out of the tank and prepared to leave.

"Wait. Ye Hao suddenly shouted.

Under Natasha's puzzled gaze, Ye Hao climbed into the tank, took out a backpack from the system space, and climbed out of the tank to hand the backpack to Natasha.

Natasha opens her backpack and finds that it contains some cosmetics and other feminine items. Natasha's face was full of surprise, and then she quickly kissed Ye Hao: "Thank you Robert, you are so considerate!"

"Hehe, this is specially for you, don't give it to Jessica. After saying that, he glanced at Jessica triumphantly.

"Hmph!" Jessica turned her head away from Ye Hao, and turned her head to Natasha again: "Sister Natasha, you see how bad Robert is!"

Natasha looked at the vindictive two helplessly: "Okay, Robert is just joking." Good night, Robert. ”

"Good night!" Ye Hao, who finally pulled back a game, was in a good mood.

The next day, the team in good shape set out on their way south, and their goal was Los Angeles.

Located in southwestern California, Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States and the largest city in the western United States, often referred to as the "City of Angels." Los Angeles covers an area of about 1,291 square kilometers, and before the cataclysm, the city had a population of nearly 10 million, and the city was divided into eight districts, including Los Angeles County.

Los Angeles is one of the important industrial and commercial, international trade, science and education, entertainment and sports centers in the United States, as well as one of the major bases for the petrochemical, marine, aerospace and electronic industries in the United States. Los Angeles is also home to many world-renowned higher education institutions such as Caltech, UCLA, USC, etc.

At Ye Hao's request, David helped him get some videos and other materials of the American armored forces, including training syllabus and maintenance of armored vehicles. Along the way, Ye Hao ordered all the personnel of the armed forces department to step up training, and familiarize themselves with it while groping, anyway, the fuel and ammunition are sufficient, and there is no government to interfere in the last days. In short, the entire convoy was accompanied by the yellow sand raised by the armored vehicles and the rumbling of artillery from time to time. What Ye Hao didn't expect was that the atmosphere of the entire convoy was more enthusiastic and united in these cannon sounds, and with sufficient material supplies, the cohesion of the convoy reached an unprecedented level in just two or three days.

Ye Hao thought a little and understood the reason: in the last days, food and other living materials are the basis of survival, and the armed forces are the guarantee of survival, and having these two points can make a team quickly condense into a whole! This truth is not only applicable to the last days, but also applies to the real world. Of course, the end of the world and the real world are different after all, and now, Ye Hao's team only meets the most basic living conditions of human beings. The key to distinguishing human beings as primates from other animals lies in their inherent need for the constant change of their own status quo, and human beings' uneasiness with the status quo is the driving force for the progress of human society. Of course, the prerequisite for the continuous progress of human society is order and stability!

Ye Hao understands that the priority at the moment is to find a place to settle down, let the whole team settle down and develop a code of conduct that everyone can agree on, even if it is only temporary. However, now the whole team has sufficient living materials, weapons and equipment are also shotguns for guns, and the existential crisis has been initially resolved, so the morale of the team is very high, and the core strength of the whole team comes from Natasha, Lawrence, and James, who are familiar with each other, so the current team is in good order and very united.

Maple Leaf Town is located in the north of Jinshan City, and to get to Los Angeles, you must bypass Jinshan City. Jinshan City had a population of nearly 8 million before the cataclysm, which means that the entire city is now occupied by 8 million zombies.

The road traffic in the United States is very developed, and the entire convoy can bypass the city of Jinshan through the Ring Road.
