The escort team, which was originally less than □□, expanded to 5,000 people in one night, and they were all carefully selected young and middle-aged people with the greatest combat effectiveness.

Most of the survivors who have been absorbed into the Guardian are people who are in good mental and physical condition, and the first advantage of joining the Guardian is that their families can stay closest to the secret base and receive an extra layer of protection and care.

After gathering the manpower, the first thing to do was to form a formation, and Shi Chang promoted all the original commanders and fighters of the escort team to leaders, leading and managing the new members. Next, he constantly reiterates the most basic discipline to the newcomers, and obeys the command in one action.

As soon as the sky dawns tomorrow, these ordinary people, who even had to buy kitchen knives with their real names in peacetime, will go to the battlefield with rudimentary weapons in hand. For these ordinary people, who may have only experienced the military training organized by the school since they were young, they do not need to show how strong their personal strength is when they participate in formal combat for the first time, and there is only one thing that is necessary, that is, they must obey the command and obey the order.

Shi Chang had already given the order to take out the last of the food stored in the logistics warehouse, and at least have a satisfying breakfast before going to the battlefield, although these foods would be given priority to the members of the convoy, but ordinary survivors would also be given far more food than before.

At the same time, ordinary people are told that tomorrow they can leave the valley on their own to kill zombies, and after obtaining the zombie crystal nucleus, they can go to the supermarket to exchange for goods.

Because of this notice from the base, many survivors climbed the mountainside where the supermarket is located, and even if they didn't have money, they had to line up to visit the supermarket to see what goods were in the supermarket.

Then the survivors who entered the supermarket were shocked, enjoying the proper temperature of the supermarket, drooling at the goods on the shelves, until they were almost at the zero point where the supermarket judged to be innocent and stranded, and then reached the end of the line, ready to enjoy it again.

After visiting the supermarket, many people finally understood why the base must organize an escort team to leave the valley to clean up the zombies, and even more understood why the base encourages ordinary people to go and kill zombies on their own, because with the power of the supermarket, it is enough to survive in the last days.

As the sky darkened, the heavy peach base fell into a dull and oppressive atmosphere, sharpening the gun to learn the correct swinging posture, talking to himself to encourage himself not to be afraid of zombies, or closing his eyes to force himself to sleep and rest...... Different people's different attitudes play out in the valley.

It's a desperate battle, but that's it.

As night □□ fall, the Maple River waterway, which had been suspended for several days, was once again bustling with boats speeding up, hoping to bring the last cargo back to their base before it was completely dark. The ships that traveled across the river, belonging to five different bases, all came to the foot of Zhongming Mountain with crystal nuclei, and then sailed back loaded with weapons and supplies.

Compared with the river, it is still Zhongming Mountain that is really lively, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, the survivors who come and go several mountain roads up and down the mountain are crowded, and when they reach the top of the mountain, the survivors waiting to enter the supermarket are even more queued.

At the same time, the number of customers that can be accommodated in the supermarket is limited after all, not to mention that most of the people in the supermarket at this time are representatives of each base, they bring the crystal nuclei accumulated by the entire base, and of course the materials that the entire base needs, even if everyone has tried to sweep the goods on the shelves into the storage bags they brought, the people waiting outside the supermarket are still urging loudly, disgusted that the people inside are slow.

At this time, most of the survivors who were still staying in the supermarket and waiting to enter the supermarket were representatives of other bases who rushed to hear the news, and the people who first discovered the Wangjiang base and Tinglan base of the supermarket did not appear on Zhongming Mountain at this time.

An important reason for this situation is that they are busy gathering the strength of the entire base to kill the zombies with all their strength to obtain the crystal nucleus, and they are ready to wait for the people in the other bases to leave Zhong Mingshan, and then enjoy the supermarket resources that no one is competing for. Anyway, their two bases are closest to the supermarket, and if you want to go to the supermarket, you have to go by land that has been cleared, which is much safer than the waterway that can't see the bottom. So they have enough advantages not to compete with other bases.

As more and more representatives of various bases rushed to Zhong Mingshan, Chen Luyuan and Qian Fuhua both understood that monopolizing a supermarket had become a delusion, and that if the forces of all parties restrained each other, if someone dared to propose monopolizing the supermarket, they would definitely be besieged by all other forces.

According to Qian Fuhua's original words, it is necessary to give full play to the geographical advantages of their two bases and seize the opportunity. After all, the Wangjiang base and the Tinglan base are too small, in case a large base wants to build a sub-base around Zhongming Mountain in order to obtain supplies conveniently, and it will be dangerous to take a fancy to their territory. In order to keep their homes from being swallowed, they must arm themselves before the other bases react.

Of course, the specific way of cooperation is not to kill zombies together, but to form an alliance between sub-regions without interfering with each other's actions, and the two bases to coexist peacefully, and to share information about the movements of other bases for a certain period of time, and if other bases try to meddle in the affairs of the region, they will fight together.

The distance between the Tinglan base and the Wangjiang base was too close, and Chen Luyuan certainly didn't want an enemy next to his base, so he agreed to Qian Fuhua's cooperation intention, and then left two or three people to collect information around a supermarket, while others were busy collecting zombie crystal nuclei.

With the geographical advantage of being close to a supermarket, the two small bases of Wangjiang and Tinglan are the fastest growing of all the bases, because these two bases are almost men, women and children go into battle together, and when they get enough spars, they buy light guns and light energy magazines, and other commodities are not considered for the time being, so that the light energy guns are quickly popularized in the base, and the survivors with weapons can exert greater lethality and get more crystal nuclei, so the two bases have embarked on a virtuous circle and developed rapidly.

It wasn't until late at night that the main personnel of the other bases had evacuated Zhong Mingshan, and Chen Luyuan and Qian Fuhua led people to carry boxes full of crystal nuclei up the mountain, and then replaced all the crystal nuclei with goods in the supermarket, and went home to rest contentedly.

Compared with the Luoshui City base and Chongtao City base, which were affected by the sudden appearance of the supermarket, the Zhaoyang City base, which has been completely accustomed to the supermarket, is much calmer, especially with a base, which starts on time, closes the team on time, and fights and lives are very regular.

Lu Li returned to the general control room of the supermarket in Zhaoyang and attended a base management meeting.
