Chapter 246: Talking about conditions
"Shipyard! You didn't say it earlier! Zhang Zhao slapped Li Mao on the shoulder excitedly, half of the cigarette bounced up and fell to the ground, he picked it up casually and put it in his mouth.
"Brother, I just met you, okay?" Li Mao said aggrievedly.
"If you don't go to prison, you can't stay in this place? There is such a good place as a prison you don't say! Before he could react, Guo Rong on the other side also slapped him on the shoulder.
After being hit twice for no reason, Li Mao bared his teeth, rubbed his shoulders, and saw Li Zijing open his mouth to speak, so he hurriedly flashed to the side, his eyes full of pain and vigilance.
Li Zijing embarrassedly withdrew his hand raised in the air, and said, "How far are the shipyards and prisons you are talking about?" ”
"It's about sixty or seventy kilometres, but the road is not easy to walk, and you usually have to go through Harbour City, and then there is a big road that leads directly to the west. But now it is estimated that it is impossible to take that road, and the road outside is about 20 miles to the west, and the inside is full of yellow mud roads, and the other sections of the road have not been repaired, and there are many places where there have been mudslides in the past few years. Li Mao explained, but he was thinking in his heart, if there were so many vehicles, it would be easy to walk, and he would still use it until now.
According to the locals, in the past, when they wanted to go to Ning County in the west, they would take the winding mountain trail and go uphill for dozens of kilometers. The Harbour City government intended to develop a coastal expressway that completely circumnavigated the Harbour City boundary, but was delayed for a number of reasons. At the end of the road, Li Mao once rode a motorcycle, and there are some small villages in it, many of which have been empty, or only some left-behind elderly people have lived for a long time. The transportation is not convenient, resulting in some remote places are still a little backward, which is an inevitable phenomenon in the world.
As for how wide those winding roads are, it is estimated that they are only the width of one car, and they are often difficult to turn around on long roads. And in its current form, I don't know what dangerous things will happen along the way. Li Mao's base, the weapons are all knives, guns and sticks, and the most advanced ones may be the bows and arrows in the sports goods store, if they hadn't been modified later, they wouldn't even have the lethality to kill a chicken.
If they were to move westward in a big way, if they really encountered corpses or other dangers, they could only be surrounded and beaten by people, and they would not even have a chance to escape.
In the conversation just now, Li Mao also learned about the predicament of some Yushan bases. On the surface, the Yushan base is impregnable, but so many zombies have suddenly appeared recently, indicating that in the near future, there will be a large wave of corpses spreading in this direction. Coupled with the sudden appearance of the power of the stick country, when the time comes, several forces will definitely clash over the only resources they have.
With the current strength of the Yushan base, it is not necessarily afraid of them, but once there is a conflict, there will be damage. Zhang Zhao: They can't afford to spend it now, and they can't afford to hurt it, and the loss of any personnel may have some impact on the whole.
The most important thing is that the largest place of human life in this area has been searched several times inside and out, and everything that can be used and eaten is almost the same, and it is difficult to wait for a good harvest, and when one day the food runs out, there is no other way but to go out to sea to fish.
Staying here is like a dying throes, and everyone can guess the ending. If you go to Ning County in the west, there may be other opportunities. This is not to say that there is still room for other survivors to compete in the area of Ning County, but at least many people will have the idea of fleeing when facing a disaster, as long as the area of Ning County is not flooded by the tide of corpses, they can fight for a place among the survivors.
The firepower of the current Yushan base is not comparable to that of a random survivor organization from the people. Everyone is very confident in this, after all, it is not a country where guns are rampant, dozens of guns jump out everywhere you go, if that is the case, in the early stage of the zombie virus outbreak, it will be strangled by the survivors.
In this country, the safest place, apart from military bases, is a prison. There are sturdy high walls and some secure facilities. Not to mention zombies, even if it is a small army, it may not be easy to take down. The Yushan base seems to be safe, but it is actually full of loopholes. At the earliest time, it could meet everyone's living environment, but after several attacks, the security of the entire base was in jeopardy.
What's more, now that a foreign force has appeared, Yushan is not far from Shigang Town, and the other party will find this place one day sooner or later. Despite the abundance of weapons and resources, in the face of real human beings, the risk of a struggle is quite high.
Li Mao's concerns are nothing more than wanting to say that there are no cars and no people. He is only eyeing the combat effectiveness of the Yushan base, if he can persuade them to go to the territory of Ning County together, not only will they have a car, but they will also be able to ensure safety. It's just that he said things like this, but he didn't want to hit them off with Li Zijing.
After chatting for a morning, the rain stopped, and Li Zijing originally arranged for Fang Dong to drive to send Li Mao back to his forestry station, but this guy was struggling, pulling this and that, and there was always something to say.
Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong looked at each other and smiled, guessing that this guy had other purposes before he went around the bend and wanted to stay. In desperation, Zhang Zhao had to call him aside, opened the skylight and said brightly, "We promise to go with you, you go back to the base first to discuss, and we will make an appointment when we leave on the same day." Oh yes, we don't have a lot of cars here, so you can plan it yourself. ”
"Well, we can barely get it if we think of a way to do it ourselves, but ...... I'm afraid that if we really run into those stick countrymen again and get beaten again, can you give us a few guns? We can trade food for it. Li Mao stared at the guns on Zhang Zhao and Guo Rong, almost releasing light.
"I've never seen anyone so brazen!" Zhang Zhao couldn't wait to point at Li Mao's head and scold loudly. Since he entered the Yushan base, he has scanned everyone's firearms no less than a hundred times, intentionally or unintentionally. Everyone knows what he really needs, and this is something he knows he can't do.
If you want to change your gun, no one would be stupid enough to do it if it is not an extreme lack of supplies. The Lei brothers couldn't do it at the beginning, and it is even more impossible for Li Mao to do it now.
"That's not something that can be exchanged? What else do you have in particular besides food? Guo Rong said unceremoniously.
Li Mao felt hopeful, grabbed the rope and climbed up, but when he thought about it, except for a slight surplus of grain at the forestry station, there was indeed nothing to be exchanged for. Li Mao was very anxious in his heart, but he had nothing to say, so he had to turn around three times unwillingly, and after walking seven or eight meters away, he turned back and said: "I went to Ning County, but I gave the news." ”
"We're responsible for your safety." Zhang Zhao waved his hand and ignored him.
After Fang Dong took Li Mao out, Zhang Zhao said disdainfully: "This guy is a little insatiable, he exchanged a few bags of rice for our medicine, and he also wants to exchange rice for our guns, when did rice become omnipotent." ”
If there were other people here, they would definitely think that what Zhang Zhao said was a bit unbelievable, how many people betrayed their partners and relatives for this bit of rice and lost their lives. Thinking about the most depressed and scarce period, I can be happy to find half a bag of rice. The Yushan base is only temporarily short of food, which makes him a little fluttery.
"But then again, they have a majority of locals and an absolute advantage in some areas, so this is a bold move, and I now wonder how much food they have saved." Guo Rongmei said: "It seems that they not only hoard food there, but also grow a lot of good things. ”
"There's a fart, if you really want to move, you can't take a lot of things with you." Zhang Zhao seemed to think of something, and said: "But this guy doesn't look at it and explains everything clearly, we can't be unguarded, if it's really as he said, there is such a place, we have to go." ”
"The situation is so tense now, the sooner you leave, the better, after all, there is such a group of people nearby, I always feel a little uneasy." Guo Rongdao.
While the two were talking, they unconsciously walked back to the accommodation area, and happened to see Han Weijun leading Han Dong out of the round villa. Zhang Zhao stopped Han Weijun, but Han Dong didn't like these two guys who often bullied him and took advantage of him without character, so he left first.
"Old Han, ask you, are there many fishing boatyards in West Ning County?" Zhang Zhao handed him a cigarette.
"Boss, Brother Li also talked to me about this question just now, I really don't know much about Ning County, but there are real fishing boatyards and prisons, I really don't know the details you want to ask." Han Weijun took the cigarette and lit it, and after a period of getting along, everyone became acquainted, and their speech and demeanor were no longer as obscene as before.
"Aren't you known as Bai Xiaosheng in the realm of Harbour City?" Zhang Zhao quipped.
"That's what you shoehorned into me, okay? I have something to do now, so I'll go first. Han Weijun broke away from Zhang Zhao's arm and ran away.
"This guy has been a little weird lately, like he's seen a ghost." Zhang Zhao complained.
Li Mao initially just wanted to exchange for some medicine, and in the process of chatting, he mentioned the shipyard and prison in the west, and saw the need in the expressions of Li Zijing and the three of them. Then while he threw out an olive branch, he also wanted to negotiate some conditions with the other party, such as being able to go to Ning County together, and it was best to get some weapons and equipment. Unexpectedly, when it came to the final weapon, there was almost nothing to talk about, so he could only regretfully return to his forestry station.
Finally got a piece of news that they didn't know, it was about the safety of the base, and it was about the life and death of everyone. Li Zijing secretly arranged some things, and the original way of survival with defense as offense was already a little unsuitable for the current situation.
The keen Guo Kai also smelled a strong and dangerous aura, and he and Chu Fei decided to go to Shigang Town to have a look.
When everyone is in a state of tension and uses their energy to defend against foreign enemies, a shadow hidden in the depths is also ready to move.
