Liu Shibai never dreamed that a small Dingbian gathering place with a population of only 30,000 would have the ability to develop and manufacture land battle tanks, howitzers, and various missiles.

What is the most important thing for survival in a collapsed world that has lost the power of the system? Fools know that one is food, one is weapons, and the other is population, and all three are indispensable.

With food and weapons, we can gather and gather people, with people and weapons we can plunder food, and with food and people we have a strong foundation......

The gathering place on the side is like a three-year-old doll sitting on Baoshan, her own strength is not good, but there are three golden characters engraved on the door of her head: Come and rob me!

For some large settlements with a population and strength far beyond the Dingbian agglomeration, it is a big piece of fat, and no one minds taking a bite of it only if there is a chance.

Snatching and co-opting the population is secondary, the main target of other forces is those heavy R&D equipment in the gathering place, even if the 30,000 people in the gathering place die in the corpse tide, no one cares, this is the rule of the game.

And the people who formulated this kind of vicious and spicy corpse tide to annihilate other gathering places, I am afraid that their hearts are not just poisonous, but even more terrifying - ambition!

A ruthless person or group with boundless ambition will bring boundless disaster to the surviving human race.

————————

On the second floor of the headquarters, Liu Shibai and Zhao Guohai were still sitting opposite each other, and on the coffee table in front of them, there was a big map.

The map is not a large-scale map of the whole country that Liu Shibai is familiar with, but a hand-drawn map that only roughly covers the scope of the province.

Zhao Guohai used his hand to point to the coordinates of other gathering places circled with a pen on the map, and introduced Liu Eighteen one by one:

"This is the farthest known gathering place from the Dingbian gathering place, the Haotian gathering place, with a population of about 100,000 people, about 500 kilometers to the west.

This is the gathering place of Zhenbeitai, in fact, the former Yulin area is close to the northwest, with a population of about 500,000, and it is about 350 kilometers away from us.

And this is the gathering place of Panlong Mountain, which is about 260 kilometers away from us, and has a population of about 200,000 people......"

Liu Shibai listened very carefully, and when he heard this interjection, he said:

"You also said that this tide of corpses is coming from the south to the north, tell me about the south, what are the relatively large gathering places?"

"Hmm!"

Zhao Guohai nodded, and slid his finger on the map:

"The closest to the south, the closest to us, are three large settlements, one is the West River Estuary Settlement, which is 220 kilometers away from us, and has a population of about 500,000.

The other gathering place is the Huanglongshan gathering place near the southeast, which is about 500 kilometers away from us, and has a population of nearly 800,000.

The other is the southernmost Baoji gathering place, which is about 600 kilometers away from us, and the population is conservatively estimated to be more than one million.

Among them, there are some scattered small gathering places, such as the same size as our Dingbian gathering place, 30,000 or 40,000 people, 120,000 people, 50,000 or 60,000 people, and of course, there may be some undiscovered gathering places. ”

Liu Shibai touched his chin, took out two more cigarettes, handed one to Zhao Guohai, lit one himself, put it in his mouth, took a deep breath, frowned and asked:

"According to your estimation, what kind of gathering places will this corpse tide be the cause of this?"

Zhao Guohai shook his head and said:

"It was analysed for several days, but there was not the slightest discovery or progress. ”

Saying this, Zhao Guohai raised his head and looked at Liu Shiba, with a sad face and said:

"Right now, is there any point in finding out who did it? The most important thing is how to save the 30,000 people in our gathering place and not be treated as food for zombies. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Shibai also agreed with Zhao Guohai's words, but he considered other ways.

Liu Shibai asked curiously:

"As far as I know, it is not easy for one gathering place to investigate the existence of another gathering place in the current environment of dense primeval forests, so how did you know about these gathering places?"

Zhao Guohai smiled bitterly:

"There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and there are always some strong and bold people who are willing to explore the outside world, which is human nature.

And these surrounding gathering places were not discovered overnight, but were found one after another over the decades.

Among them, those who have discovered these gathering places generally go out for as little as three or five years, or as long as decades, and there is not one person who comes back. ”

A cold light flashed in Liu Shiba's eyes, and he touched his chin and said to himself:

"I have some ideas based on what you say, if we put ourselves in our shoes, the gathering place for these equipment ideas in the gathering place should not be too far away from us, right?"

"Maybe!"

Zhao Guohai nodded approvingly.

Liu 18 continued to analyze:

"Even those who go out to investigate lightly will take three or five years to go back and forth, so even if you get those heavy equipment from the Dingbian gathering place, how young will it be to transport it back?"

Zhao Guohai's eyes lit up, and he immediately added:

"That's right, even if you don't ship it back, you have to gather a large number of people to move here with a lot of materials to start production, which is almost an impossible task if it is too far away. ”

Liu Eighteen's gaze returned to the map, and after sliding his finger on it, he gestured between the two gathering places:

"This is the gathering place of Panlong Mountain, which is 260 kilometers away from here and has a population of 200,000.

Near the West Estuary Gathering to the south, 220 kilometers away and with a population of 500,000, I think these two agglomerations are the most suspicious. ”

After Zhao Guohai nodded, he shook his head again and said:

"But the gathering place of Panlong Mountain is not in the south, but in the northwest, don't forget that the corpse tide is coming from the south to the north. ”

Liu Shibai stared at Zhao Guohai strangely and said with a smile:

"Then the West Estuary Gathering Place is even more impossible!"

Zhao Guohai was puzzled:

"Why? The West River Estuary is closer to us, only two hundred and twenty kilometers, and if nothing happens by car, we can get there in three or four hours. ”

"Huh!"

Liu Eighteen smiled, pointed to the map and said:

"It is true from the map, but from the mouth of the West River to here, almost across the entire Baiyu Mountains, such a big movement, it can be said that it is a waste of money and people, right?"

Zhao Guohai frowned and retorted:

"Not necessarily, what if they have another way?"

Liu Shibai shook his head and said:

"You have forgotten the population of the West Estuary, if they really have a population of 500,000, then it is very easy to temporarily recruit an army of about 50,000 plus about 100,000 logistics.

The pressure of close to 150,000 troops close to the Dingbian gathering place is enough, and you will surrender directly, without fighting at all. ”

Zhao Sihai said strangely:

"If there were really 150,000 people surrounding us, it is estimated that we would have surrendered and compromised halfway through...... That's right!"
