12. Chapter 12: Survivor Base
Chapter XII
"So you don't know about Los Angeles?" Chen Kui looked at Mo Bei and them in surprise, he thought that Mo Bei and they came here to enter Los Angeles, but looking at Mo Bei, they didn't know the existence of Los Angeles at all. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info"You're lucky to be here. ā
Los Angeles is one of the largest survivor bases in the north, controlled by the military, and Chen Kui is a private 'resource collector' in Los Angeles. According to Chen Kui's information, there are still 67 survivor bases with a population of more than 1 million under the control of the government in Asia, and there are currently 39 large survivor bases controlled by the domestic government, and Los Angeles is one of them.
Los Angeles has a population of 1.2 million and is garrisoned by two Type A Heavy Army, totaling about 120,000 troops. At present, Los Angeles accepts survivors from all over the world, but in the context of the shortage of materials, the garrison of Los Angeles only guarantees the safety of the city, and there is only a small amount of government subsidies for individual lives, but the number of such subsidies is very small and cannot guarantee survival at all, so various professions were born in Los Angeles, and the 'material collector' is one of them.
When a person like Chen Kui goes out of the city to collect supplies, the military will collect half of the share, which means that when Chen Kui goes out of the city and goes back, the military will take half of the materials he collected. Mo Bei didn't know if this was reasonable, but Chen Kui felt that this was normal, at least in Los Angeles, the military would ensure that no living corpses and ghosts could easily enter, and ensure that the basic order existed, and it was quite cost-effective to exchange some materials for these. From another aspect, the military does not force ordinary survivors to go out of the city, if they don't go out of the city, they will have no supplies and only wait for death in the city.
Chen Kui not only collects supplies but also collects intelligence, the military does not want to have something around that threatens the safety of the base, so it will pay a high price to the 'collector' door in exchange for intelligence, on average, a large survivor base has fallen every ten days is a major reason why the military is so keen on this kind of intelligence, unfortunately Chen Kui found some things according to some signs, these things are likely to be fatal to them.
"If you look at the map, this is L.A., about fifty miles from where we are now. On the other side, this is Lanshui City, on the other side of the Lanjiang River, about a dozen miles away from here. Since the establishment of the Los Angeles base, Lanshui City has gradually become our main material collection place, Lanshui City has a national strategic reserve granary, a flour mill, a rice mill, a food processing factory, a dozen large supermarkets, and more than 3 million people left behind materials. And here, is under our feet, here is the bridgehead for Los Angeles to enter Lanshui City, half a month ago the military built a simple dock here, every five days or so, a large search team enters Los Angeles from here, I followed the previous search team to come here five days ago, but because of some changes, I didn't catch the boat back, so I stayed here and prepared to wait for the next trip, but I found some not very good signs in the past few days!"
Chen Kui unfolded a map, and Mo Bei found that it was completely different from the map they were used to, omitting many of the names of places and buildings, and instead focusing on roads and places where there might be a lot of supplies. Mo Bei also noticed that the map was marked with many words for exploration or for exploration.
"I've been exploring within five miles of this neighborhood for the past few days, and I've found several large groups of corpses staying near the town, one of which is on the highway, another is emerging from Lanshui City, and there is a group of corpses that don't know where they came from and are staying nearby. I'm not sure what they're trying to do, but there's a guess. ā
"Brother Chen, if you have something to say, we are all grasshoppers on the same rope in this situation!" Mo Bei vaguely guessed what Chen Kui meant, but he was a little incredulous, feeling that his guess was very crazy, and as soon as Chen Kui paused, he said with some irritability.
Chen Kui didn't say anything about Mo Bei's irritability, but continued: "I guess the purpose of those corpses is this dock built by the military half a month ago, and they are staying nearby to wait for our search team to crash into it. Even in Los Angeles, there are only six large military searches, and once one of them folds here, there will be problems with the supply of Los Angeles. ā
This news made the hearts of the team sink, and everyone's faces were difficult to look at. Even if Chen Xiao'an outside the door is very powerful, everyone is not helpless, but once he is surrounded by a large group of corpses, there is almost only one way to die.
"Being surrounded by a group of living corpses is only a dead end, since the purpose of the living corpses is the search team, then let's leave here before the search team comes!"
"Both of your cars have been destroyed, and the usable cars around here have already been used up by the previous search team, so we can't get out of the three large groups of corpses alive with just two legs. If my guess is correct, the three hordes of corpses should have surrounded the town by now. Chen Kui said with a sneer.
"What do you mean, surrounded by corpses, do you think that only we will die? If we die, you won't live!" Zhang Yu was angered by Chen Kui's attitude, and stood up violently and said angrily.
"I don't mean anything, I just don't want you to act rashly and cause unnecessary trouble!" Chen Kui didn't even look at Zhang Yu and said lightly, "Now if you want to leave alive, the only way to leave is to use the boat from the search team and go to Los Angeles on the Lanjiang River,"
"Zhang Yu, calm down, don't forget that Brother Chen also saved our lives, and he is experienced, I think what he said is very reasonable, I'm afraid we won't be able to get out of here by land! Damn*, it's all Zhang Yan's dead bitch, otherwise we might be able to drive away tomorrow morning, why didn't I see that Chen Xiao'an's slut got on her?" Wang Chao said and slammed his fist on the ground in annoyance, and when he looked up, he saw Zhang Yan's face sticking to the shutters of the office, staring at everyone while slowly holding a broken arm and stuffing it into his mouth, Wang Chao slowly turned his head and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
"Brother Chen, since tomorrow everyone may be in a situation of nine deaths and one life, can you lend us a little bit of your weapons, and we will also prepare some guys!" Now that it has fallen into the current situation, Mo Bei is not thinking about anything else, and he is too lazy to think about why Chen Xiaoan has such a big grudge against them, obviously he has nothing to complain about if he harmed others first, but he just wants to increase the possibility of living a little.
