Volume 2 San Diego 079 Maple Leaf Town New State
They were still the key protection objects at the beginning of the cataclysm, and when they arrived at the San Diego military port, even if they could not conduct their own research, they still had no worries about food and clothing. Even though the San Diego military port was breached, the army at the time protected them from the siege. But when they arrived in Buffalo Town, they became a group of burdens, the Authority ignored them, and they had to rely on themselves to survive half-starved, if it wasn't for Ye Hao taking them away, it is estimated that they would not last long. A change of environment is not necessarily a bad thing for them now.
An hour later, James and others arrived to meet, and the convoy set off for the return journey.
The return trip was a little faster than when I came, and I didn't encounter a group of zombies, and after passing through the place of the encounter, the zombies on the ground turned into a dry corpse after a week of sun roasting. The strong stench of the decomposing corpses almost made the convoy vomit. After passing through the area quickly, and walking some distance, the smell was not smelled. In the evening, the convoy took a shortcut and restarted on the road. It is still more than ten kilometers away from Maple Leaf Town, and the speed of driving on the road is much faster than that of sandy land, and it takes more than half an hour to reach Maple Leaf Town, so there is no need to camp and rest overnight.
The convoy that returned to Maple Leaf Town at night frightened the residents of Maple Leaf Town, and in the sound of warnings, everyone rushed out of the tent and grabbed all the weapons that could be used. Since the outbreak of the Cataclysm, night has become almost a forbidden area for humans. In particular, the existence of high-level zombies adds a bit of danger to the night.
Now he suddenly found a convoy heading towards Maple Leaf Town, and although there was no such thing as a sneak attack due to the bright lights, the survivors instinctively thought that it was not good.
The situation in Maple Leaf Town, in a week, has changed a lot. On the opening facing the wasteland, one wall has been laid, and the other three sides, due to the extensive use of barbed wire, no longer have to worry about zombies infiltrating unknowingly. Since Ye Hao and the others left, the people who stayed in Maple Leaf Town were full of energy, and more than five hundred people, regardless of whether they were old or weak, all of them moved, carrying fine sand and looking for various stones in the vast wasteland. But this wall is not a small project, it reaches a height of eight meters, a width of more than three meters, and a length of almost a kilometer, which can not be completed in a short time.
With such a big move in Maple Leaf Town, it is impossible to hide it from everyone, some people who have come to fight the autumn wind before, but they have seen the changes in Maple Town. In the privacy of the settlement, there is still some gossip circulating about Maple Leaf Town. After Ye Hao left, various teams continued to attempt to attack Maple Leaf Town, but with Barnes' guard force of more than 100 people, how could it be that those who wandered in the wasteland and had almost no thermal weapons could deal with it? Therefore, with the continuous moths of various teams fighting the fire, the news that a new owner had settled in Maple Town gradually spread.
In the last days, everyone is struggling to find a place to survive, but almost all the settlements in the entire San Diego area, except for Buffalo Town, which is barely self-sufficient in food, are worried about food. Now that Maple Leaf Town has a new owner and is building a wall, the news is spreading. Moreover, the people who tried to go to Maple Town to fight the autumn wind all returned, so Maple Town obviously has strength. Therefore, slowly there are survivors wandering in the wasteland and starting to gather in Maple Leaf Town.
At the beginning, there were not many people, basically a small group of family units, Dr. Tesla and the others understood Ye Hao's intention to settle in San Diego, so the problem of the small population of Maple Town must be solved, so they basically did not refuse the survivors who came to take refuge, anyway, building a wall is needing labor, so that they can work in exchange for food.
But gradually, there were more and more people, and later I heard that Maple Leaf Town was working and then had a full meal, and even some small groups of dozens of people began to work in Maple Leaf Town.
After Ye Hao left, Maple Leaf Town took in less than 20 people in the first two days, more than 100 people on the third and fourth days, nearly 300 people on the fifth and sixth days, and more than 200 people on the last day, in just 7 days, Maple Leaf Town took in nearly 700 people, an average of 100 people per day, and this amount is still increasing.
At this point, Dr. Tesla and others have been difficult to ride a tiger, and the increase in personnel is certainly beneficial, and the one-kilometer-long wall foundation can be completed in a week.
The disadvantage is that dragons and snakes are mixed, and the security in Maple Town has a tendency to deteriorate; the second point is even more serious, half of the food left by Ye Hao has been consumed, and Ye Hao doesn't know when he will come back. Dr. Tesla and the others have been worried all day and are already thinking about not accepting new survivors from tomorrow. They are afraid that once the food is exhausted, there will be no food at that time, and once these survivors get out of control, then the good situation of Maple Town will be ruined.
Dr. Tesla and others finally survived another day, but they didn't expect it to be night, and they received a warning signal that an unidentified convoy was approaching, which of course made Dr. Tesla and others a little angry, and they couldn't let people live in peace this night.
Lawrence, the leader of the Maple Leaf Infantry Detachment, led more than 50 people to the wall that had not yet been built, and saw a convoy heading towards Maple Leaf Town from a distance. The roaring sound of car motors and snow-white headlights are so dazzling in this star-only night. The scattered zombies that had been roaming the wasteland also discovered this eye-catching target and began to rush towards the convoy.
In the silence of the night, as the zombies moved, the calm was soon broken by the sound of gunfire, and the tongues of fire that flashed from time to time in the convoy were alerted by the sound of gunshots like beans. In the dark night, it was impossible to see if the zombies had fallen, but the sound of gunfire still made Lawrence frown, at least proving that the firepower of this team was still good.
Soon, the strange convoy drove from a distance to the front of Maple Leaf Town, and Lawrence did not need to hide anything, and ordered the guards in Maple Leaf Town to be ready for battle.
At this moment, a figure stood in the first car of the convoy, and he shouted, "Lawrence, it's me." We're back. It turned out that it was the biometal robot Li Tie who discovered the abnormal movement at the wall of Maple Leaf Town and reminded Ye Hao, Ye Hao found out that it was inappropriate for his convoy to gallop back, and he spoke out in time to avoid the fire on both sides.
Hearing that it was Ye Hao's voice, Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, and the guards around him had already cheered: "It's the boss, it's the boss, they're back." ”
The cheers quickly alarmed Dr. Tesla and the others, and after confirming that it was not the enemy attacking Maple Leaf Town, they all breathed a sigh of relief and smiled. I don't know why, suddenly, Dr. Tesla and others found that although Ye Hao didn't care about anything all day long, he always felt insecure without him here, as if the whole team had no backbone and would fall apart at any time. Now Dr. Tesla and the others have completely understood that their team is inseparable from Ye Hao, he is the core of this team, and without him, the whole team will fall apart.
After Ye Hao and the others drove the car into Maple Leaf Town, everyone worked together to eliminate the zombies that had gathered. Then the task of vigilance was rearranged, and Ye Hao settled down. Ye Hao's physical strength was also exhausted after a day's travel, but he still cheered up and had a brief chat with Dr. Tesla and others, and ate some hot porridge by the way.
After eating, Ye Hao went out to inspect the situation in the camp again. Now the number of tents in Maple Leaf Town is a little insufficient, not to mention the hundreds of people accepted in recent days, the place they need to live is the hundreds of people brought back by Ye Hao, and they must also arrange a place for them to live. Finally let two or three people live in each tent, and finally let everyone have a place to live, so that they will not sleep in the wilderness. It took more than two hours to settle everyone down.
At the same time, Ye Hao also assured Dr. Cook and the others that they would definitely solve their accommodation problem as soon as possible, at least one tent per person. Ye Hao still attaches great importance to these senior intellectuals and technical talents. Dr. Cook and the others also understood Ye Hao's difficulties, and expressed their understanding reasonably, anyway, they have also suffered hardships, so there is no need to rush for a while.
Dr. Tesla and the others wanted to talk to Ye Hao about the extra personnel in the camp several times, but when they saw Ye Hao's tired appearance, they could only hold back.
Ye Hao did not teleport back to modern society for the night, but slept peacefully in the tent. Maybe it was because he was too tired, but when he opened his eyes, a few rays of sunlight shone through the cracks in the tent, and when he looked at the time, it was already nine o'clock in the morning.
In the last days, there are people who are busy running around at five or six o'clock to make a living, and few people sleep until this time, seeing that the entire camp is only himself who gets up so late, Ye Hao is still a little blushing.
After stretching his waist, Ye Hao lifted the tent, and what caught his eyes was a delicate and delicate face, big eyes, and long eyelashes, which were so attractive under the slight trembling. A well-fitting summer dress shows off her perfect figure, there is no doubt that this is a beauty, and it is a big beauty.
"Natasha, waiting outside the tent so early, thinking I can go in, I don't mind being looked at by you. Ye Hao said with a sneer.
Natasha glared at Ye Hao fiercely: "What time is it, it's still early." It's not serious at all, who wants to see you, aren't you afraid of a long needle?"
Ye Hao smiled awkwardly, he and Natasha took care of each other, and they reached the last step several times, but they were destroyed by Jessica's little girl. Thinking of this, Ye Hao's teeth itched, he always wondered if Jessica had installed a monitor on Natasha, otherwise why did there be a good thing that ruined him at a critical moment every time.
Natasha glanced at Ye Hao, lifted the basin in her hand, and said, "Why don't you hurry up and wash up?" Dr. Tesla, they have been waiting for a long time. ”
Natasha said this, Ye Hao didn't play anymore, he could only brush his teeth and wash his face obediently, anyway, the meat would always rot in the pot.
After washing, Ye Hao followed Natasha to find Dr. Tesla and others. On the way, he also saw the current situation of Maple Leaf Town. There were a lot of faces in the camp, the tents were a bit messy, and the hygiene was not good. Still, people are in good spirits. Lawrence was leading the team to train outside the wall, and after three months of running-in, the coordination of the infantry detachment and the armored detachment was already in shape.
Along the way, after Natasha's brief introduction, Ye Hao already had a preliminary understanding of the current situation in Maple Leaf Town.
Dr. Tesla was checking the progress of the fence on the construction site of the fence, Ye Hao walked over and said, "Dr. Tesla, Natasha has already told me about the situation, you can explain it to me in detail." ”
Dr. Tesla smiled slightly, didn't talk nonsense, pointed to the busy crowd on the construction site, and said: "Since you left, we have received nearly 700 survivors, among which the good and the bad are mixed, and we don't have time to screen them one by one, so we are currently throwing them here to build a wall." Judging from the situation in the past few days, there will be new people coming to Maple Leaf Town one after another, and it is up to you to decide whether these people will go or stay. In addition, there is not much food in the camp, and with the people you brought back, the current population of Maple Leaf Town is close to 1,300 people, and it will last for a maximum of 5 days with the current stock. ”
After Dr. Tesla finished speaking, Ye Hao laughed and said, "Doctor, please rest assured." I had a plan for this. In this troubled world, more people are power. Just the two or three hundred of us who came to Maple Leaf Town will not be able to gain a foothold in San Diego, and they will not be the target of bullying when they lack strength? I didn't have time to tell you yesterday that I asked for 2,000 people from the Buffalo Town Authority, and they will arrive in our Maple Leaf Town in ten days. Therefore, as long as it is a survivor in the wasteland, I will not refuse, and as for the screening work, it can be carried out slowly. As for the food problem, you don't have to worry, since I decided to establish a foothold here, I have already informed the organization, and I believe that their support is only in the next few days. ”
When Dr. Tesla heard Ye Hao say this, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
At this time, Natasha spoke on the side: "Robert, according to what you said, then our Maple Town will soon have a population of thousands. Then our guard forces ......"
Ye Hao laughed and said lightly: "Yes, to take care of so many people and the entire Maple Leaf Town, more than a hundred people is definitely not enough, it seems that it is time to form a real army, as for weapons and equipment......"
Just as Ye Hao, Dr. Tesla and Natasha were discussing there, they heard the horn of a car coming from afar, and Ye Hao looked intently that there were several trucks not far away heading towards Maple Leaf Town.
When the convoy entered Maple Leaf Town, Barnes opened the door of the cab and jumped out of the first truck, Barnes came to Ye Hao in three steps and two steps, saluted and said in surprise: "Boss, you are back." Great, I just brought you back a gift. ”
Barnes shouted to the back, "Brothers, untie the rope and show the big toy we brought back to the Boss." With that, he ran to the back of the truck and untied the rope.
