After Lin Xiao personally led the wasteland reclamation team to search all the towns within 300 kilometers of the surrounding area one by one, the safe area of the farm had reached a terrifying population of 110,000.

While receiving survivors one after another, Lin Xiao gathered a lot of official remnants from the surrounding areas, the most complete was most of the armored battalion, and the rest were some local garrisons.

Among the 110,000 people, there are five garrison battalions, totaling more than 6,000 people, as well as six desert reclamation regiments personally responsible for Lin Xiao, totaling more than 2,000 elite combat forces, including four Wuzhi 10, as well as 12 armored infantry combat vehicles of the half armored battalion, and six 99 main battle tanks.

It can be said that after two months of development, the strength of the farm safety zone has exploded to the point where it is the strongest in the surrounding area.

And as Lin Xiao kept clearing the wasteland day and night, he also discovered another secret of the zombies.

There are fewer and fewer zombies in the surrounding urban areas, and even zombies can not be seen in the wild, not that their main force has been wiped out by the wasteland group, but that there is an existence similar to the zombie king among these zombies!

Under the order of this zombie king, the surrounding zombies gradually left the range of action of Lin Xiao's desolation group, and most of them gathered in the surrounding mountains, as if they were accumulating strength to fight again another day.

It was also during the two months of development, with the joint efforts of the survivors and the garrison, that a moat six meters deep and four meters wide was dug around the farm, and the embankment of a nearby reservoir was blown open, and the water of the lake was diverted into the moat with a ditch.

Because through the observation of Lin Xiao and others, it was found that although the zombies would not drown if they fell into the water, once the moat was lined with cement hardened walls on both sides, they could not climb ashore after falling into the water, and could only be trapped in the water, and over time, only the bones were left to rot.

As for whether the water of the moat continued to flow downstream, whether it would cause other effects because of the zombie virus in it, Lin Xiao and the others didn't have time to think about it for so long.

In other words, two months later, the basic knowledge in the cognition of all survivors is that in addition to the deep wells that are more than 200 meters deep, and the rainwater that has just fallen from the air, which can be eaten after distillation, river water, lake water, and even seawater contain a large number of zombie viruses, and no one can easily drink lake water to quench their thirst.

On the inner side of the moat, Wang Dalong arranged for the survivors to build a four-meter-high wall with cement and steel bars to defend against special zombie species that may cross the moat.

Now two months have passed, and there is only a gap of about ten meters left in this wall, and it will be completely completed in half a month.

What's even more gratifying is that Lin Xiao asked Wang Dalong to select talent reserves from the survivors, and Wang Dalong took a serious grasp of it, and it really had a lot of results!

Not only did they find teachers from various disciplines and sections from the survivors, but there were even many experts and scholars in biochemistry and even mechanical manufacturing, as well as elite talents in various industries in nearby cities.

Based on these people, the farm now has its own school, a machine factory capable of producing everyday items, and at least knives and armor and the like, completely in-house.

In addition to these, what Wang Dalong is most proud of is that he relied on a few official experts to use the industrial machine tools that Lin Xiao pulled back from various cities, and even made an 81-bar production line! Although the accuracy of the weapons produced does not meet the military standards before the end of the day, it can also guarantee the accuracy of shooting within 300 meters.

This means that as long as there are people in hand, as long as there are enough steel and chemical raw materials, the farm safety zone can form a huge number of official teams!

As for the more high-end military products, it seems to be a bit stumbling, either there is technology but no production capacity, or there is production capacity but lack of raw materials.

The only one with stable performance, acceptable output, and barely able to suppress the fire is a rudimentary version of the 80mm curved mortar.

It sounds like a good thing, but in fact, this 80mm mortar is barely reasonable because of the accuracy of the machine tool, unless more than a dozen guns are fired together, regardless of the accuracy of a single gun, and completely relying on fire coverage to kill and injure piles of zombies or enemies.

If you talk about the combat effectiveness of a single 80 mortar, hehe, it is not as good as the gun ** launcher that was massively equipped by the domestic elite troops before the apocalypse! At least the gun launcher has a fast rate of fire, is extremely easy to carry, and has extremely high attack accuracy.

However, fortunately, the manufacturing process of this thing is very simple, and there are a large number of seamless steel pipes in the safety zone, and several experts in various industries have worked together to create an 80mm curved mortar production line with extremely rudimentary industrial machine tools. The maximum production capacity is about 200 shells a month, and the daily output of artillery shells can reach 60.

This output is placed before the end of the world, it's just a cheat, there is wood? But after the apocalypse, this output is very awesome!

In Wang Dalong's words, give him three months, and he can make Lin Xiao's wasteland reclamation regiment, and the three of them will be equipped with a curved cannon!

In addition to these, the daily living environment of the survivors has also been greatly improved.

The timber-paneled houses that had been used as temporary shelters have all been demolished and replaced with two-story dormitories made of masonry and concrete. Although each floor of the dormitory building is only two and a half meters high, being able to be assigned to a dormitory in the last days, even if it is crowded with four or five other people, is an extremely luxurious happiness!

What's more, after the crops on the farm were tested with animals such as puppies and kittens, plus Lin Silong's wasteland reclamation group, and the testing equipment brought back from the hospital or laboratory, they did not receive much impact from the zombie virus.

In this way, crops such as corn, which can already be harvested, instantly replace the compressed dry food that has long been tired of eating.

Corn porridge, cornmeal nests, these things don't feel very dripping before the apocalypse, but now in front of the survivors, they are like delicacies from the mountains and seas!

After a high-level meeting, the farm safety area was renamed the Rock Base, which was proposed by Wang Liang and unanimously agreed by everyone except Lin Xiao, and Lin Xiao couldn't do anything if he was unhappy.

Also at this meeting, everyone divided the management of the rock base into three categories, military management, government management, and health and safety management.

The first two categories are easy to understand, but the third category is a bit of a doorway.

It seems to be in charge of disinfection work in and out, but in fact, the focus of this type of worker is on the word safety, to put it bluntly, it is an investigation organization within the base.

Wang Liang and another officer of the special operations unit are in charge of management, and the main targets are the officers and soldiers of the troops that have been collected in the future, as well as the leaders-level figures gathered in various previous groups such as Zhou Jianguo.

On the surface, this organization is covered by medical practitioners, and it is completely confidential, and the insiders are limited to Lin Xiao, Wang Dalong, Lao Gang, and Wang Liang and others, and this part is only responsible for Lin Xiao alone.

In terms of government affairs, Wang Dalong and Lao Gang are mainly matched by Wang Dalong, mainly in terms of construction and logistics, and Lao Gang is taking care of survivor archiving management and other work.

As for Lin Xiao, he naturally served as the first commander of the Rock Base and the commander-in-chief of the garrison of the Rock Base.

After everything settled and the content of the meeting was carried out step by step, Lin Xiao stood on the roof of the newly built headquarters building, looking down at the rock base that had expanded to more than 1,000 acres.

The base is crowded with vigilantes patrolling with guns and survivors busy with life. Everyone's face is gone, and the gloom and panic of life and death are gone, replaced by hope for tomorrow.

The pale black outline is the wall that will be completed immediately, the bottom layer of these walls is more than three meters thick, and the top layer is also one and a half meters thick.

Everyone involved in the construction knew that this thing was meant to save lives, and there was no such thing as cutting corners, and it was a few points stronger than the pre-apocalyptic military permanent fortifications.

At this moment, Lin Xiao's emotions unconsciously became surging, and he suddenly thought of the lines in a TV series in his previous life: Look, this is my country!

In the zombie-infested apocalypse, this hard-earned country makes people feel emotionally excited just thinking about it.

"Brother Lin, why did you come here? I'll be looking for you for a long time! Wang Liang's voice came from behind him, interrupting Lin Xiao's reverie.

Turning his head to look at Wang Liang, who was a little out of breath, Lin Xiao couldn't help but quip: "What's wrong with you?" It's only been a few hours since the meeting ended, and you're missing me? ”

"! My sexuality is normal! Wang Liang was also helpless, he couldn't understand Lin Xiao's cold humor: "I have something to do with you, the old expert in the laboratory asked you to come over and say that there was a major discovery, I asked him to tell me, and he also withdrew a pair of people, and it was useless to tell me what he said." ”

A major discovery in the lab?! Lin Xiao was immediately stunned, and then remembered that he had been left in the laboratory for nearly a month.

Speaking of labs, it's completely a blind cat encountering a dead mouse.

This laboratory itself belongs to an official subordinate of a secret army, is a completely independent of the Chinese military industrial system outside the laboratory, by the superior secret army directly managed and assigned tasks, the main research and development direction is a new generation of information warfare equipment, including based on the upcoming 5G signal, network infrastructure, and military individual computer and other chips.

said that the blind cat met the dead mouse, and that was because when Lin Xiao led people to recover the fallen city, a special mutated zombie aroused Lin Xiao's interest.

This special mutant zombie doesn't have too much combat ability, but it can call other zombies to act as a covering shield!
