Luo Xun handed the towel in his hand to Yan Fei, who took it slightly tired and wiped his sweat.

"It's a lot of money today." Luo Xun pointed to the bag of crystal nuclei in the hands of the other two Abilities, which was almost all suffocated—there were seventy of them! Seventy per person! But now there is not much left. You must know that this amount can usually support two days of work!

"Well, I'd like to take a nap this afternoon." Even Yan Fei couldn't support it a little, and today's operation had to keep concentrating and unable to relax for a long time, which was much more exhausting than the usual kind of work that didn't require brains.

"Yan Fei, I'll let people carry these pieces onto the truck, and I'll put them on your car when I go back in a while." The captain walked over excitedly and pointed to the big iron plates, iron rods and other things that several people were carrying.

"Okay, thank you Captain for taking care of me." Yan Fei nodded to him in thanks.

The captain smiled and patted him on the shoulder and explained to them: "Let's leave a little later today, I'll wait for the second team to come over and explain to them the specific operation of how to build the outer wall, you can just get in the car and rest in a while." "Although there is indeed a certain level of competition and comparison mentality between the two teams, it is related to the safety of the people themselves, and the things that should be instructed should be instructed.

Knowing in his heart that Yan Fei and Luo Xun didn't like to be too showy, and they weren't soldiers under him, the captain let them get into the car and rest, and he brought another metal powerhouse and waited for the second team's car to come over and let the powerhouse and the three metal-based powerhouses in the afternoon shift explain the new way to build the wall. After the explanation, they got into the car and went back to the barracks of the inner base together.

The people of the second team were also grateful for their concern and sharing after learning the news, but after about ten minutes or so of the three metal-based abilities, they couldn't hold on.

The three Abilities explained to the captain of the second team: "According to this method of operation, it takes a long time to concentrate on mental power, and the ability consumed is more than twice as much as usual, so our crystal nucleus is not enough in an afternoon!" ”

There are some differences between the two classes of supernatural beings in the morning and afternoon, and there are originally only two metal-based anomalies in the morning class, but their initial ability is higher, and the speed of building walls is faster than that of the afternoon group, so the superiors only let those two supernatural people participate in the tasks of the morning group when they dispatch personnel, and the working time is shorter than that of the afternoon group, but it requires those two supernatural people to come up with the same work efficiency as the three people in the afternoon, even if it is not too bad.

In this way, the people in the morning group will naturally be a little reluctant, originally, our efficiency is a little faster, but there are only two of us! The work time is less than yours, but you need to make the same thing, who can stand it after a long time?

Fortunately, in this case, Yan Fei's addition alleviated the situation.

But as soon as Yan Fei came, his work efficiency in the afternoon obviously couldn't keep up, and the captain of the second team extended his working hours for the sake of work effectiveness and other reasons, and Yan Fei kept some hands relatively and didn't make it too perverted, otherwise the people in the second group had to vomit blood in order to catch up with the schedule.

But now, this kind of work of "conducting" the construction of the wall with the support of a large amount of mental power, the people of the second group simply cannot hold on for a long time.

The captain of the second team asked the three of them with a headache, "Then how do you think it is better to deal with it?" ”

The three of them glanced at each other and asked with some hesitation, "Why don't you come as we were notified before we came?" Hang a rope and go down? ”

Before they came, they received news in the barracks that the supernatural people who built above the base were hanging a rope to repair when they were building the wall, and in addition, they sent additional personnel and vehicles outside to be responsible for protection, but the base did not know that one group did not do this for safety reasons.

The captain glanced out of the wall with some hesitation, and a stranger stepped forward: "Captain, the outside of the wall has been cleaned up once in the morning, even if there are zombies, there are not many zombies, and the zombies under our wall have been killed by a group, and we won't be in much danger if we go down." ”

The captain of the second team thought for a while, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Each of them arranges one person to be responsible for pulling the rope!" As soon as there is danger, pull people up immediately, and the rest of the people are partly on guard, and partly hand metal materials under the fence! ”

At this time, some of the cars that went out to rescue have come back one after another, and the zombies at the gate of the base have been almost cleaned up, and it is not a big problem to hang down to build a wall, if the situation is not good, you can still pull people up in time, and wait for the danger to pass before continuing.

――――――――――

The truck stopped not far in front of the barracks, and soon a relatively small, dilapidated Jinbei van stopped next to the truck, and several soldiers got down and carried some metal plates to the Jinbei and then drove back to the parking space on the side of the road, and it didn't take long for the two young men to climb into the truck and return to the barracks together.

After greeting the captain, Luo Xun and the two walked in the direction of the No. 4 canteen - the No. 3 canteen has always been popular, they came back late today, and there was a delay on the road for a while, there must be nothing to eat in the past, it is better to go to the No. 4 canteen to see today's dishes.

"Got it all done?" Luo Xun asked Yan Fei in a low voice.

Yan Fei nodded slightly and smiled bitterly: "I used another crystal nucleus, it seems that I can't go back and sleep well in the afternoon." "After all, those metal plates are base materials, and the captain secretly gave them to him in private, although he can tell the source, he doesn't want to be troubled. So after moving those boards to the car, he easily "plated" all those metals to the car plate and the inside of the body, saving people from seeing any clues, just like the last time he went out to find materials and came back, a lot of metal was directly "pasted" to the outside of the wagon, which not only saves space, but also can be used as a protective measure for the car, and can also get a bunch of weapons to save lives at critical moments.

The two of them wandered to the No. 4 cafeteria and turned around and muttered in a low voice: "Today's dish looks average, I feel that there is less meat in it." "The main people who eat in several canteens in the barracks are all big men, and everyone's favorite and the most replenishing body is of course meat. Therefore, when everyone looks at the quality of the food in each canteen, the master's craftsmanship is on the one hand, and on the other hand, the amount of meat is more than which one.

However, after going back for three days during the Chinese New Year, the two of them obviously felt that the protagonists in the dishes of the No. 4 canteen had been replaced by all kinds of durable vegetables, and their shape shì had a tendency to slowly move closer to the No. 5 canteen.

But how to say that this is also a meal for free, and if you don't eat it, you won't eat it for nothing.

The two of them each made a steamed bun and two dishes, and the four dishes were different, and they went back to eat them together.

Putting the lunch box in his backpack, Luo Xun muttered in a low voice: "Could it be that the army has less meat?" ”

Yan Fei raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's possible." As he spoke, he looked up at Luo Xun, "Do you think we have pigs, cattle and sheep in our base?" ”

Luo Xun was also stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "...... It's hard to say, after all, that thing will also be zombied......"

Both of them have seen mutated zombie dogs outside the base, and their fierce appearance is definitely much more terrifying than ordinary zombies, even if the base still has some poultry and livestock at the beginning, but I am afraid that it will be ...... in the face of danger

"I remember that the beef stew we fought in the No. 3 cafeteria a while ago tasted almost the same...... "Yan Fei took the backpack and carried it behind his back, "I'm afraid that thing is a pre-apocalyptic military can, right?" "That's why it tastes the same every time, and there are no subtle differences.

Luo Xun also patted his head suddenly, raised his head and smiled bitterly at Yan Fei: "I think it will be difficult for us to eat meat in the base soon, even in the No. 3 canteen." There is a high chance that the ones you have eaten before are expired. "As long as there is no flatulence in this kind of canned meat in armament food, the general shelf life is about three years, but even if it exceeds this time, it can last for at least two or three years, the base does not know why it was so generous before, but now, maybe the military's meat is not enough to eat.

Yan Fei lightly hooked the corners of his mouth and looked into the depths of the barracks: "Don't you remember?" A few years ago, there were a lot of big names in the base. "The participation of new personnel will definitely bring new voices, and if they themselves have a certain right to speak, it will definitely affect some of the behaviors and practices of the original forces." We only need to look at the cafeteria in a few days to roughly guess what the future will look like. ”

Yan Fei and Luo Xun's worries gradually became a reality, first the shadow of meat in the No. 4 and No. 5 canteens gradually became less and less, and it didn't take long for even the food level of the No. 3 canteen to drop significantly.

What makes the two feel even more regretful is that the No. 3 canteen originally had some special meals, such as potstickers, such as wontons, and noodles, but now they have begun to gradually fade out of everyone's sight at the same rate as every day. Even the white rice is gradually becoming less and less, as long as it comes a little later, you can only buy the base's characteristic big steamed buns and go back to eat!

Nowadays, it is the instant noodle window that has no characteristics and is slightly different except for the seasoning package that has become the only choice for many people when they want to change their taste.

After returning home, they communicated with Li Tie and them, and they were also complaining about this matter, and even Zhang Su, who was able to eat in the No. 2 canteen, nodded after listening to the words of a few people: "The No. 2 canteen is the same, several troublesome dishes have been canceled, and the amount of meat and oil and water in the dishes has also decreased, but few of our people over there have raised opinions in public." ”

"Why?" The people who were able to eat in the No. 2 canteen were all people with relatively high status in the army, could it be that their qualifications were too high and high enough to ignore the material conditions?

Zhang Su sneered and spread his hands and said: "Most of the people who go to eat in the No. 2 canteen are technical personnel, such as doctors like me, such as those scientists, experts and scholars in the real room, most of these people are not people who live on their bodies, I am afraid that before the end of the world, they don't care about what they eat and drink at all, and they often even throw their meals out of the sky when they are busy." I first heard a few male nurses complain at the hospital, and the chief surgeon who was with me at the time heard about it and asked me for verification, and he said that he didn't even remember what he ate at noon. ”

The crowd was silent...... What is this realm? Is there so much difference between a mental worker and a physical worker?

"Also." Zhang Su's face hung up the signature expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, for some reason, Wang Duo, who had been sitting beside him and had been serving tea and water very diligently, suddenly shook his body, and his face instantly turned red, and his eyes stared straight at Zhang Su's side face and almost drooled. "We still have a lot of female nurses there, these women usually hate not to eat even half a mouthful of meat, they have long become accustomed to eating vegetarian food, who cares where the meat goes?"

Before Luo Xun and the others could say anything, Wang Duo immediately nodded vigorously as if he had been stepped on by some switch: "That's it!" Those women are so annoying, they can't do anything but gossip all day long...... Ahem, Brother Zhang worked hard today, right? I'll rub your shoulders? ”

Luo Xun twisted his head in the other direction and raised his hand to block his eyes, no, this thing's discipline has become negative, and it is better than his own little guy's training! In the past few days, Zhang Su raised his eyebrows, he knew what people wanted, raised his hand to know whether people wanted cold water or hot water, sighed, and he instantly rushed to Zhang Su's back to rub people's backs and shoulders......

Yan Fei didn't seem to see the duo of doglegs and queens over there, so he only asked in a low voice, "Tired eyes?" ”

Luo Xun shook his head slightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched and complained in a low voice: "Why can't our little guy be better adjusted?" ”

Yan Fei glanced at the two of them over there, and understood the meaning of his words: "Who made us all feel sorry for it?" ”

Li Tie and the others also felt that it was either a toothache or an eye ache, and they turned their heads one by one, wishing that they could just kick the skinless and faceless man out there now - they were discussing whether it was okay to get down to business?!

"I've heard that the base seems to be ready to start farming food." In order to protect his titanium dog's eyes from being blinded again, Han Li hurriedly changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, we listened to the masters when we were in the cafeteria!" He Qiankun hurriedly raised his hand.

"How many plots of land are in the base?" Luo Xun hurriedly asked.

Li Tie shook his head and said, "We don't know, we just listened to it." ”

Touching the lower Ba Luoxun pondered: "We have been busy working on the outer wall, and we have seen that many survivors have fled one after another recently, if only those places in the base are planted...... It may not be enough for everyone. ”

"What can I do? You can't go out and plant anyway, can you? Otherwise, even if you can grow something, what if a zombie wanders around the farmland and contaminates the food? Wu Xin shuddered, turned his head to look at Li Tie, "Let's support ourselves and prepare to farm at home, right?" The weather seems to have gotten warmer lately! ”

"Yes, in a few days, the house will be completely dry." Saying that, Li Tie's eyes flashed and looked at Luo Xun and the others, "We have already saved a lot of points, and recently asked our person in charge about it, saying that they can exchange it for some metal materials for us!" ”

Yan Fei nodded and smiled: "Okay, as long as you bring back the things, I will lay out the earth dragon in your room first." ”

"And us, us!" Wang Duo, who had been circling Zhang Su like a dog's leg, suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly.

"Yes, but you have to think about what to put on top of the iron pipes, after all, we don't have enough floors to cover three rooms." Yan Fei glanced at the two of them and prompted. When everyone went out, although they came back with some more wooden floors, it was not enough to cover the three rooms, and it was no problem to give Zhang Suyun one bedroom, but the other rooms ...... Definitely not enough.

Wang Duo's expression was a little tangled and he lowered his head and began to think of a way, but Zhang Su suddenly asked, "Can metal materials be on the ground?" ”

Luo Xun was stunned for a moment, looked up at Yan Fei and said, "It's not impossible, but we're worried that metal will be easier to transmit sound?" Of course, if there is nothing else to replace it, it is okay to use metal as a floor. ”

Yan Fei touched his chin and thought for a while: "There shouldn't be any problem with using metal to make the floor, but if you want to have better sound insulation, it's better to get more and make it thicker, and I also want to see if I want to reinforce the steel bars in the wall under your room, so as not to be so heavy." ”

In addition to the last time, Yan Fei later got back some metal materials one after another, and sometimes when the two of them had nothing to do in the afternoon, they would drive the car to the stalls on both sides of the street outside, and when they encountered those metal materials that were not sold in large quantities and were not easy to process, they would collect them back. Now that they've reinforced, they've reinforced, and if they can get more metal back, they'll probably just reinforce the whole building—can't they just reinforce their own house and ignore the whole building? If the building collapses one day, will their house on the top floor still be able to survive?

It is a pity that Yan Fei's good deeds for the benefit of the people and himself are destined not to be publicized, let alone instigate his neighbors to take the initiative to donate metal materials - he does not want to cause any trouble. So I had to be silently busy, reinforcing the wall or something.

Wang Duo immediately patted his chest as a guarantee, and Zhang Su said coldly on the side: "Where are you going to get so much metal?" ”

Wang Duo's movements were immediately stunned, and he turned his head to look at his former classmates and roommates.

Three of the four people instantly turned their heads in another direction, and the remaining one He Qiankun had no choice but to meet his eyes, and could only say with a regretful expression: "That...... Didn't you hear Li Tou when he said he was going to find a board for us? Although it should be enough to pave the dragon, it can be more...... It's not easy for people to get it out...... "And even these materials are what they have to spend a lot of points to exchange."

Wang Duo also remembered this incident, but ...... Do you spend your points to find someone to exchange outside? After thinking about it, he decided to go back and check how many points he had saved - fortunately, the base of the Shenma Dinner had been completed recently, so he could save all the points every day, otherwise he would have to support his wife, how could these points be enough...... Hey, it's so hard to have a man to raise......

――――――――

The quality of the food gradually deteriorated over time, but thankfully there was some meat in the barracks' canteens, and there was meat in at least one dish a day in the No. 3 canteen, and although the amount of meat in it was relatively small, and the portion if anyone wanted it, it was better than the No. 4 and No. 5 canteens.

Luo Xun and Yan Fei saw the dishes purportedly stewed in "broth" in the No. 4 canteen...... Luo Xun felt that the broth used here should be the soup of the meat dish in the No. 3 canteen.

Compared with the army, even if ordinary survivors have points in their hands, go to the base to redeem the huàn window, and buy food, most of them can only buy the base's special steamed buns, all kinds of pickles, canned food and other things, and can't even buy fresh vegetables.

However, in recent days, the base has begun to reclaim the surrounding farmland to prepare for planting the first crops of the year, and a large part of the farmland enclosed in the base is the original flower field, and now those flowers and plants have been uprooted and replanted into crops - the food is almost gone, who has the leisure to plant flowers?

Privately, there are also many people who buy and sell seeds of various crops -- many people have picked up some plant seeds from farmers' markets and supermarkets just after the end of the world, although the amount is very small, and many of them are seeds of small tomatoes, cucumbers, and other crops that can be used as semi-decorative before the end of the world, but now these things are also good things that everyone may not be able to obtain with a lot of money.

When Li Tie and the others were shopping outside, they also bought a bag of cucumber seeds, and they were going to try it when they were back to sprout.

"Li Tie, they said that they can get all the materials today, are you going to help them do it tonight or tomorrow afternoon?" Luo Xun asked in a low voice while Yan Fei was retreating to rest.

Several metal powerhouses have been trying their best to build the metal wall outside these days, and now the efficiency of Luo Xun's team is not bad, and everyone has also made progress in terms of spirit, and the speed of building the wall has become much faster than before.

"If they can get it tonight, then tonight." Yan Fei has also adapted to the current way of building walls, although he has also consumed his abilities, but the sense of prostration after that has been able to adapt relatively well.

He was holding a few hedrons in his palm and was trying to absorb and replenish them.

"Pounding, pounding" There was a gunshot not far away, which came from the surveillance watchtower built not far from the fence. Although the troops have strengthened their external defense and counterattack after the New Year, due to the large scope of the outer wall and some other reasons, they can only give priority to the defense near the gate and the security of the location of the people who built the wall.

Luo Xun raised his head and glanced in the direction where the gun came from, but he was blocked by the tall wall and could not see clearly for a while. However, they knew very well that there were several land combat vehicles parked not far from the wall they had built, and there were many soldiers on them who were responsible for protecting everyone's safety - the base was also afraid that if any zombies could rush up the wall and hurt these people who built the wall, and if there were zombies that could rush up the wall, it would definitely bring great danger to the base.
