Chapter 194: Food Crisis

"Zizizi!"

There was a sound of electrical contact, and then the street lights came on.

Everyone's eyes widened, and there was an eerie silence at first, followed by a mountain and a tsunami of cheers.

For more than three months, electricity, which is one of the most important energy sources in people's lives in modern society, has become a luxury for people to obtain at any time before the end of the world.

Although it was only a little over three months, it felt like a century had passed.

"Hahaha! There's electricity, it's finally there's electricity! ”

"Oh my God, electricity, it's really electricity, we can use electricity again, that's great!"

People jumped and jumped excitedly, waved their arms incessantly, and some even cried out loud in excitement.

During the whole ceremony, the most surprising thing for Lin Hao was not the success of power generation, because this matter was already expected. He was surprised that Qin Gong set up a mobile phone charging point in the electric room, and there was a grand scene of six or seven hundred people queuing up to charge that day.

Lin Hao was very puzzled that these people fled for their lives and still carried their mobile phones, and even when they couldn't charge them for more than three months, they didn't throw away their mobile phones.

Curious, Lin Hao asked a survivor who was queuing up to charge, and after listening to the reason why they kept their mobile phones, Lin Hao was not a little moved.

One survivor said: "I kept my phone because it had a lot of videos and photos of my loved ones. My home is gone, my relatives are gone, and I can only use this mobile phone to express my grief and reminisce about the past. So, this phone is my life, my most precious thing! ”

That night, the survivors who charged their phones had a sleepless night. Unlike before the end of the world, they are not playing games, watching movies and television dramas, or scrolling through Douyin, but they are choking back tears, looking at the photos and videos of their relatives in their mobile phones.

Lin Hao was different from these survivors, after he fully charged his satellite phone, after some contact and waiting, he got in touch with Zion for the first time as a person in charge of the civilian defense forces.

Zion, one of the four ancient capitals of China, has a population of more than 10 million. Its ancient city wall, located in the center of the city, is 12 meters high and 13.74 kilometers long, which is well preserved.

After the outbreak of the apocalypse, the local soldiers and civilians quickly took advantage of the ancient city wall to establish defenses, and at the same time, this city was also the first city to resist the invasion of nearly 200,000 corpses. In the last days, it is also one of the four great cities.

Lin Hao contacted Zion's field command center based on the mass message received from the satellite phone. After explaining the situation to the staff who answered the phone, Lin Hao's Chiyan War Regiment prepared the case and became one of the many resisting forces in the Northern Theater.

Zion is primarily responsible for the Northwest Sector in the Northern Theater of Operations. The area of the northwest region is very large, and the resistance force is even more numerous, so Lin Hao's battle group did not attract much attention.

Lin Hao contacted Zion, on the one hand, to let Zion understand the situation of the Black Dragon Gorge, so as to make Haotian City fearful. On the other hand, I ask for help and hope for support.

To Lin Hao's disappointment, Zion was too busy to take care of himself, and he didn't have any additional resources to help the warband. Therefore, the major war groups can only rely on themselves. However, they can provide information about altars and corpse tides, which are very important to the clan. As a result, they regularly post information on satellite phones for the reference of the warbands.

Since Tang Xia left Yangshan New Town, Lin Hao and Tang Xia have cut off contact. Don't look at Lin Hao who is so busy every day that he can't stop, but every midnight when he dreams back, he can't forget the past with Tang Xia and that beautiful night.

Lin Hao asked the command center for the satellite phone number of the Tang family. As a result, the other party said, "Sorry, you don't have this permission!" Lin Hao rolled his eyes angrily.

After that, Lin Hao finally contacted Ye Dahai in Yangcheng through the headquarters. Receiving Lin Hao's call, Ye Dahai was very surprised and excited.

After greeting each other, the two of them recounted their feelings after leaving. As Lin Hao expected,

Because of its location in the field, Yangshan New Town could not grow crops in large quantities, and hunting alone could not support the food needs of the people in the city. Although Ye Dahai also bought mutant ostriches, because he didn't know how to tame, those little ostriches couldn't be tamed at all, so they could only be killed, so the farm couldn't develop at all.

Another point is that there is a wave of large corpses active in the area near Yangshan New Town, which may hit the city at any time, so the people in the city are panicked and their morale is very low.

Speaking of the predicament faced by Yangshan New Town, Ye Dahai couldn't stop sighing. He has tried everything he can, but with little success.

After listening to the situation of Yangshan New Town, Lin Hao briefly introduced the situation of Heilong Gorge. And suggested that Ye Dahai lead the survivors to the west to settle in Heilong Gorge.

Ye Dahai was very surprised after listening to Lin Hao's introduction to the situation of Black Dragon Gorge, he didn't expect that Lin Hao would have his own base so quickly. Moreover, after listening to Lin Hao's description, it seems that the development potential of the Black Dragon Gorge is very high, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

To be honest, Ye Dahai was a little tempted, but it was not easy to take the people of the whole city to Heilong Gorge. Not to mention the many dangers encountered on the road, even those survivors who are content with the status quo may not be willing to take this risk.

Ye Dahai did not reply to Lin Hao immediately, but first tested everyone's reaction, and then made a decision, and replied to Lin Hao two days later at the latest.

Subsequently, Zhao Daheng, Xiao Yutong and Zhou Qian all talked to Lin Hao. After more than a month, the three of them are very concerned about Lin Hao, and now that they have been contacted, they are naturally very happy.

Zhao Daheng said on the phone that he led the team to hunt every day, and he was tired of becoming a dog, but he still couldn't feed the survivors in the city. What's even infuriating is that the survivors are not only not grateful, but also complain about the incompetence of their demon hunting team. can make him so angry that one Buddha was born, and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. If it weren't for Ye Dahai's hard persuasion, he would have picked a son a long time ago.

Xiao Yutong didn't want to listen to Zhao Daheng's complaints, so he snatched the phone from his hand and asked about Lin Hao's situation. Knowing that Lin Hao's base not only had electricity, but also raised mutant rabbits and mutant ostriches, he immediately became very excited, and he couldn't wait to fly to Black Dragon Gorge with wings immediately.

When Zhou Qian answered the phone, her voice was still so moving, but Lin Hao always felt that the other party's words seemed to be a little alienated and cold, and he didn't know if it was because of someone on the side.

On the phone, Lin Hao also said that he wanted them to come over to help. The three of them had nothing to say, and when Lin Hao left Yangshan New Town, the three of them had already made a decision. The focus of the problem is on the sea of leaves.

Lin Hao told them that if those survivors of Yangshan New City were unwilling to leave two days later, then the three of them would be tied up, and they would have to get Ye Dahai to Black Dragon Gorge. At the same time, he also elaborated on the safer trade route explored by the Mengshan caravan.

Although Ye Dahai is not a demon martial artist, he has one whether he leads troops to fight or administrative management, and this person is very upright and has no ambition to be trusted.

Lin Hao's demonic cultivation was very slow, mainly because the management of the Black Dragon Gorge was too distracted. Moreover, Lin Hao still had a lot of things to do urgently, and without a reliable and capable person to help him watch the Black Dragon Gorge, he was really not at ease. If Ye Dahai was in charge of the Black Dragon Gorge, Lin Hao would be able to free up his hands to do a lot of things.

Time passed quickly, and two days later, Lin Hao received a call from Ye Dahai. Sure enough, those survivors in the city, including most of the demon warriors, were reluctant to leave Yangshan New Town. Moreover, Ye Dahai also decided to live and die with Liu Chenggong and Yangshan New Town.

After talking to Ye Dahai on the phone, Lin Hao talked to Zhao Daheng again and asked him to act according to the plan.

After the Battle of the Black Dragon Gorge, the collapsed city walls and gates were quickly repaired and strengthened thanks to the efforts of the survivors.

The haze of bones and corpses attacking the city is gone, and the city is thriving. People's spirit has completely changed, they are full of energy, and they are full of enthusiasm to do things. In the scenic area, it can be said that it is the same every day.

Qin Gong seemed to be fascinated by hydroelectric power generation, and spent another three days building a second small waterwheel generator in the mountain stream near the bandit cave, which was specially designed to supply power to the breeding farm in the bandit cave.

There were 800 warriors in Heilong Gorge before, and after the battle to defend the city, more than 200 people lost their lives, and another 50 or 60 became disabled. Lin Hao had to re-recruit fighters from among the survivors to fill the gap.

In two days, Lin Hao recalculated the population of the city, and there were a total of 4,700 people. According to the current stock of grain and daily hunting, it can last for a week. But it will take more than three months for mutant rabbits and mutant ostriches to start providing food. And these foods can only solve half of the ration. With winter just around the corner, food will be increasingly difficult to collect.

If food cannot be found, Heilong Gorge will soon fall into a food crisis. Half of the nearly 5,000 people will starve to death.

Don't look at the survivors of the scenic spot who are full of energy every day, in fact, everyone is worried about this problem. Wang Gang, Shen Jianguo, and eight members of the security committee all approached Lin Hao and asked about food solutions.

In addition, because of the success of resisting the tide of corpses. Some small villages nearby and survivors hidden in the deep mountains have defected to the Black Dragon Gorge, and in just three or two days, seven or eight hundred people have come, including many demon warriors.

Population is the foundation of development in the last days, so Lin Hao did not reject these people. After passing the screening, these people were arranged to the first-line sky scenic spots. Where, Lin Hao had already arranged for people to build a new settlement.

Where to find food, this question has become the most difficult problem in Heilongxia at the moment.

Lin Hao thought about it and could only go to the grain depot. But Ye Dahai can't come, so he can't move on his side. Although Lin Hao was in a hurry, he was helpless, so he could only wait for Ye Dahai and the others, hoping that they would come as soon as possible.

Three days later, Lin Hao and Wang Gang were distributing newly created shields to the soldiers to replace the previous wooden shields, when suddenly a soldier ran over to report that they had seen a suspicious person near the city wall.

"Could it be that they are coming!"

After learning the news, Lin Hao was overjoyed and hurried up to the city to check.
