Chapter 169: Rent Guns and Food Stamps
Just as Lu Tian and the others were clearing the zombies within this kilometer, another army appeared with hundreds of ordinary survivors, all of whom were carrying tools and probing the terrain not far away.
Lu Tian has seen the construction drawings of the city wall, and there are many places where you will encounter buildings, and these buildings will also become part of the city wall, at this time, Lu Tian and they not only have to clean up the zombies on the streets, but also clean up these buildings within the city wall, and also collect some materials.
After such a careful cleanup, there are still a lot of zombies trapped in the room, and even zombies trapped in the public toilet, all of which have been slaughtered by them, and the valuable things in the room have also been cleaned by the survivors they called.
Lu Tian observed that most of these survivors wanted to fill their stomachs, and as soon as they were tempted by the officials of the base, they ran over happily, because they were told that they were protected by the army.
At this time, Lu Tian knew that the base had officially started to implement the planned distribution from noon today, and each person could only receive two taels of rice or three taels of flour per day, as well as grain of the same value.
These people were the first survivors to dare to come out, and they went to build the city wall and eat every day, and they would have a pound of rice as a reward, and although they did not have a salary, they could get a harvest from what they collected.
"Mouse, I feel quite energetic!"
Lu Tian patted the shoulder of an armed policeman next to him, this mouse has been on a mission with him recently, and he is more familiar with it.
Mouse's original name was Wang Haotian, because of his thin body and small eyes, he was nicknamed "Mouse" by his teammates, he can be so familiar with Lu Tian or because he is more casual, and he does not feel uncomfortable because Lu Tian is a master.
"I don't know how to be so energetic today."
The mouse's eyes were shining, but they were a little small, and he really looked like a mouse, his eyes rolled, "I feel related to yesterday's fainting, I woke up in the morning and found that my strength had become a lot greater, and today I wrestled with them, and no one can win against me!" ”
He thought of something, and hehe, "Of course, you don't count, eagle!" ”
It seems that this guy has benefited a lot from last night's accident, but he knows that the mouse's hand strength is not the biggest one, and there are three people in the team that lure the zombies alone are bigger than him.
Lu Tian followed the large army, and he didn't need him to make a move, so he looked a little bored, and then asked, "Mouse, how old is it?"
"21, I didn't get admitted to college after graduating from high school, so I went to join the army and became an armed policeman."
He touched his head a little embarrassed, living in the army all year round, looking a little rustic.
"That's not as big as me, is your family at the base?"
"It's all here, they rely on my salary, and now the time has come when they can't have enough to eat, and I don't know if the base can reclaim a piece of land to grow food."
In this way, Lu Tian chatted with the mouse without saying a word, because of the dangerous mission they carried out a few days ago, this mission made them a guard in the back, so no one came to talk about them.
The task of the lure team is to stand at a distance to prevent zombies from escaping from other places, and at the same time to keep an eye on other survivors and not let them get close.
It was already the middle of the night, except for the survivors who worked, no one ran out to hang out, and the lights were bright not far behind, and many people were digging the foundation of the city wall, and it was lively outside the originally desolate base.
From time to time, trucks carrying stones and bricks pass by, all escorted by the army, and these construction materials are brought in from the vicinity, and the journey is still relatively dangerous.
The armed police who cleared the zombies didn't sleep all night, cleaning up inch by inch, and by the time the east and south sides were almost cleared, the sky was faintly bright.
There wasn't enough time, and these zombies hadn't been dug out of the zombie core, so Lu Tian followed them to pick up the bargains for one night, and collected a full 120 orange energy points, far more than before.
As for the other two directions, he could only give up, and the army dealt with it nearby after killing the zombies, and there was no way for Xiao Qi to collect energy if he was not on the scene.
The group walked back a little tiredly, and after a few hundred meters, they could clearly see the scene of the city wall being built.
Most of the foundation has been dug up, a curve is faintly the foundation of the city wall, there are a lot of searchlights on the curve, every 100 meters there are more than a dozen people digging the foundation or building the wall, next to the armed soldiers come over to patrol, to prevent the zombies from running out of the net to hurt people, but also to supervise the work, to prevent someone from being lazy. At this time, a few points have been piled up to a half-meter-high wall, which is more than a foot thick in width, to the point that it has a bit of the smell of a city wall.
Lu Tian and they walked quickly, not far from the city wall, there were a few large umbrellas, and under the light, many figures were shaking.
"Eagle, why do you think they are in such a hurry, even at night repairing the city wall?"
The mouse looked at the rudimentary city wall and asked with some puzzlement.
"I don't know about this, you kid really think I'm an encyclopedia, ask everything."
There were a lot of things to talk to the mouse at night, and the mouse was also calmed by Lu Tian's extensive knowledge, and subconsciously asked him.
Yun Sheng next to him looked at the two of them with some envy, since he knew Lu Tian's skills, he felt a little uncomfortable talking to Lu Tian, and the mouse could still talk and laugh with Lu Tian, everyone else respected Lu Tian very much, but it was not as casual as it was at the beginning.
"Hehe, I'm used to it!"
The mouse smiled heartily, not embarrassed, and glanced at the big umbrella a few times, because at this time Yuan Xiong walked over and was talking to a few people.
"Qiu Hengcai, he is also here, looking at his appearance, it seems that he still has some status."
Lu Tian's expression moved, and he saw an acquaintance from the crowd under several large umbrellas, who was talking to Yuan Xiong at this time.
A minute later, Yuan Xiong walked back with a somewhat bad face, and asked everyone to follow him and continue the return journey.
Back at the station, the rest of the people were very tired, even the very energetic rats were a little tired, and after saying goodbye to Lu Tian, they ran to rest.
Yuan Xiong walked over at this time and said to Lu Tian, "Eagle, come with me!"
"Good!"
Still this office, Yuan Xiong closed the door and said to Lu Tian with some seriousness: "Eagle, soon the drone we reconnoitred outside found signs of a large number of zombie clusters, and Regiment Leader Luo was worried that it was a Type I zombie, so let them speed up the construction of the city wall."
Lu Tian was thoughtful, Yuan Xiong told him that he definitely needed his help in this matter, and he was also a little surprised at this time, at that time, he personally killed a type I mutant zombie, that is, the intelligent type, but he didn't expect another one to be born.
"If you need my help, just say, I've been following your arrangements for the past few days?"
At that time, the content of the cooperation was to assist Yuan Xiong, and the time had not yet come, so it was natural to continue.
"I want you to investigate with us, and at the same time use weapons to kill some of the zombies in this part of the cluster, if there is really a Type I zombie, even if you can't kill it, you can buy some time, as long as we repair the city wall, we can also have some self-protection skills."
Judging from the existing research, in addition to artificial attraction, ordinary zombies will not be clustered in a large area, and this phenomenon has appeared outside the base at this time, and the results of type I zombies are estimated to be inextricably ten.
"Okay, no problem, I'll go with you."
Yuan Xiong is happy, he knows Lu Tian's ability better these days, ordinary zombies can't help this person in front of him, and Lu Tian's sword skills are amazing, and he can also resist the zombie group, so it is a better choice to bring him.
"Then I'm sorry for you, we are going to act at 2 o'clock in the afternoon today, the temperature is relatively high at this time, and the vitality of the zombies will be somewhat suppressed, so you can come here half an hour earlier when you come."
"Got it, then I'll leave first."
When he returned to the room he rented, he found that Li Qingxue and the two were really not there, and Wu Bin was still studying the exercises carefully in his room, and his hands kept gesturing with something.
"Wu Bin, have you watched it a hundred times?"
"No, it's only been more than thirty times, I'll write down all the questions in my notebook, and I'll ask you together when the time comes."
"Okay, you go on, I'm going to cultivate!"
Wu Bin's door was not closed, and the two exchanged a few words with each other a few meters apart. He looked at Lu Tian's disappearing back with some envy, and looked forward to the day when he could cultivate his internal strength, at this time he still thought that Lu Tian was cultivating martial arts, but in fact, Lu Tian couldn't cultivate at all, and he was tempering his spiritual power.
Time passed quickly, and it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon after two rounds of cultivation and some food, and Lu Tian set off for the armed police station, and the temperature at this time was about thirty-two degrees, which was two degrees lower than the same time yesterday.
The base has sent out the news that the temperature is about to drop, which has stimulated the thoughts of those who want to squat in the base forever, and many people have taken advantage of the opportunity to be cleaned up by the army around the base to go out to find supplies.
Today, the base has officially opened a large-scale rental of guns, and ordinary people are not allowed to carry guns at the base, but they can rent guns from the army when they leave the base, but they require a certain fee, and they must be returned, otherwise they will have to deduct rations.
The currency, which had been held out for several days, was finally suspended at noon yesterday, and although it still retained a certain value, it could not be cashed out for a while, and the base was now using very primitive grain stamps, and the grain was limited, so this grain stamp became the hard currency of China in just one day.
Of course, the food stamps are not paper, but electronic, stored as electronic data by the computer at the base, and the ID card also shoulders the responsibility of a bank card, which can be exchanged for food or other scarce materials with the balance of the food stamps in your account.
Lu Tian turned into an eagle again, and Yuan Xiong was also ready, as if he was waiting for him, and after Lu Tian arrived, he immediately took him and drove away from the armed police station.
