Chapter 172: The Wall of Interior and Outside

After receiving Xiao Qi's information, Lu Tian picked up the grass next to Qi Ren and dug up an inch-tall plant with a knife.

This plant Lu Tian has never seen, it should be a mutant variety, with cyan branches, lilac leaves, and a little bit of vitality fluctuations.

"Xiao Qi, is it okay?"

"Yes, master."

Lu Tian didn't expect to come across a useful medicine, and was reminded by Xiao Qi to find and pick it.

This plant just contains a lot of vitality, which Xiao Qi uses to make medicinal liquid and catalyze the egg in the bag.

The slight cool breeze was a little less stuffy at this time, and there was a smell of autumn, but the real time was supposed to be winter.

Didn't stay outside, secretly returned to the rented room, Wu Bin was still thinking hard, the door of martial arts was slowly unfolding in front of his eyes, because he wanted to read it a hundred times first, so Lu Tian was not in a hurry to explain his questions, some questions, I didn't understand yesterday, I may understand today, thinking is more effective than directly instilling answers.

Dinner was eaten again by Lu Tian, as rich as before Resident Evil, and if it was discovered by those hungry survivors, it would probably make them jealous.

There was a knock on the door, and it was a mouse.

"Eagle, there is a mission, this is the situation of the mission, Team Yuan asked me to hand it over to you!"

"Why don't you come in and sit down?"

"No, I still have something to do, and you probably have a task, so I won't bother."

"Well, then I won't send you."

"Goodbye."

The rat came in a hurry, handed Lu Tian a confidential document, and left.

Open the envelope and read: "Urgent mission: Assemble at the gate of the base at seven o'clock tomorrow morning and go to the southwest to collect food." ”

It was not a task to set off immediately, and the letter only briefly stated the time and general situation, the location and scale were not clear, and Lu Tian didn't think much about it, tomorrow was the last day he helped Yuan Xiong, just help them do it.

At this time, it was already ten o'clock, and Lu Tian hadn't slept well for a few days, and when he lay on the bed, he fell into a deep sleep.

At this time, the government office building is brightly lit, reporting the situation of the day.

"5,387 survivors have been called to build the city wall, the first phase of the three-meter height has been 89% completed, it can be completed tonight, and tomorrow the second phase of the five-meter high wall plan will begin, stop recruiting survivors, and make the city wall taller and thicker."

This man was reading the summary of tonight's meeting, in which the data and the plan were approved by all of you.

"Today, 17,640.5 kilograms of food were distributed to the survivors, and 3,038.7 kilograms of food were paid for the construction of the city wall, including a certain number of food stamps. ”

"A total of 3,557 people went out to collect supplies today, and the fees were charged according to the proportion of 30%, of which daily necessities such as quilts accounted for 60%, food accounted for 5%, and other sundries accounted for 35%."

"Today's ......"

Everyone listened quietly to the general situation report, with different expressions, but they all had the same expression, that is, frowning.

It's just that there are too few people who go out to collect supplies, so it can reach 1% of the base's population, and the food in the base is rapidly depleting.

"What can you do to spur these survivors out and look for supplies?"

Tong Yajun, the county magistrate, was the first to speak and asked a question that was difficult to solve.

You Yicheng smiled bitterly: "Most people still have some surplus food, which is not so easy to manage."

"Yes, most people's courage is still not enough, just like everyone here, who dares to have the courage to face zombies alone, think about it from another perspective, and you can understand their psychology!"

The police chief, a mild-mannered man in his forties, got to the point in one sentence.

"We can't force them, we can't kick them all out, can we? The central side won't allow us to do that. ”

Speaking of coercion, everyone glanced at each other, but the central government has been watching closely in the past two days, and they don't dare to be this up-and-coming bird.

Tong Yajun sighed, "Let's let this matter go first, when these people can't eat enough, they will naturally go out, but that kind of situation won't happen in a short time, let's wait for three days first!" ”

Qiu Hengcai spoke at this time, "County magistrate, I have an idea. ”

"Oh, tell me about it!"

"Didn't we plan to build two rows of city walls, now we are building the outer wall, and we will repair the inner wall in a few days, why don't we make a fuss about this."

Everyone glanced at Qiu Hengcai meaningfully, and vaguely guessed what he meant.

"With two walls, just forming the outer city and the inner city, there are so many zombies outside, if we attack the base, the outer city will definitely be more dangerous, we can let those who don't want to go out to find supplies all move to the outer city."

He lifted his glasses and continued, "Wait until they have collected enough supplies and earned a certain amount of food stamps before they can obtain the right to live in the inner city."

"We can set the cost of living in the inner city, so that even if these people live in, if they don't want to be kicked out, they have to earn food stamps to pay for it, so that we can also ensure the long-term development of the base."

"County Magistrate Qiu, aren't you afraid that there will be objections from the central government when you do this?"

A person next to him put forward an opinion, now there is a biochemical crisis, and all parts of the country are in semi-isolation, but the control of the central government has not weakened, but the leadership of the receiving army has been greatly strengthened, if something goes wrong with them, it is a question whether this position can be kept.

"Hehe, the central government just asked us to save the survivors as much as possible, as long as they are in the base, we have done our duty, isn't the outer city part of the base?"

Qiu Hengcai, as the descendant of the Qiu family, has naturally received a lot of news, this measure has begun to be implemented in some bases, and the central government also has a tacit attitude, otherwise how could he stand up.

There were not a few people present who knew Qiu Hengcai's identity, and when they saw him say so confidently, they also recognized it a little.

"Okay, I think that's a good suggestion, and it's worth doing."

Tong Yajun secretly belonged to the Qiu family's camp, so naturally he would not object, he and several other people who also belonged to the Qiu family's camp agreed, and others were not easy to object, and the plan was easily passed.

Qiu Hengcai lowered his head and pretended to think, in fact, he was really happy in his heart, what he had to do was to slowly influence the decision-making of the base, so that this place would become the Qiu family's territory.

Now it seems that success is not far away.

……

At three o'clock in the morning, Lu Tian opened his eyes, after five hours of deep sleep, he had enough rest, he got up from the bed and washed his face, then sat cross-legged on the bed and began to temper his spiritual power.

The blue spiritual power smoke has been tempered several times, and it has been condensed a few more times, and the amount has decreased a little compared to before, but the energy contained in it has become even thicker.

Amid the sound of birds chirping in the early morning, Lu Tian finished his cultivation and made breakfast alone.

When he was a child, as a left-behind child in the countryside, he naturally learned to cook, Lu Tian cooked a big pot of porridge and more than 20 eggs, and fried a few dishes, without waiting for Wu Bin and them to get up, they ate alone.

Of course, he left some for them, and when he left, he said to Wu Bin, who had just gotten up, and Lu Tian left alone, the task was to start at seven o'clock, and he couldn't wait for seven o'clock to pass.

The green grass leaves are covered with crystal dew, and the cool air penetrates Lu Tian's nostrils, making people relax. Today, the temperature has dropped significantly, and I already feel a more obvious coolness.

More than a dozen large red trucks have stopped at the gate of the base, and hundreds of soldiers are walking around, looking very busy.

"Eagle, here."

Yuan Xiong saw Lu Tian walking over and beckoned to him.

"We're going to drive over today, so I'll leave it to you, this batch of grain is very important, and we don't want to fail."

"Don't worry, I'll do my best."

A smile appeared on Yuan Xiong's face, "We are all playing with guns, and our long-range combat ability is okay, but if there are too many zombies, if we break through the defense line, it will depend on you at this time." ”

Lu Tian bowed his head, indicating that he knew what Yuan Xiong meant, that is, he didn't have to care about the zombies in the distance, he only needed to deal with the zombies that rushed into the crowd, and try to protect others as much as possible.

Looking at Lu Tian, who had no worries, Yuan Xiong was both envious and admired, and when he thought that today was the time when the agreement expired, his expression changed.

"Well, Eagle, I wonder if you've been staying at base lately?"

"I'm going to the provincial capital, what's wrong?"

Lu Tian knew Yuan Xiong's thoughts, but he was really going to go to the provincial capital, so he told the truth.

"Then tell me when you leave, and I'll see you off."

His eyes couldn't hide the look of regret, and he wanted to keep Lu Tian, but he found that he had no reason.

The two got into the cab of a truck, Yuan Xiong was driving, and Lu Tian was sitting in the co-pilot, which was much better than staying in the car.

After everyone was ready, the time was almost seven o'clock, and Yuan Xiong, as the commander of this operation, did not waste time and gave the order to set off.

Fifteen trucks roared out of the base and headed southwest of the base, where there was a wholesale grain market with hundreds of tons of grain stored in it, and all they had to do was bring it back as much as they could.

Each truck carried twelve men, a total of 180 people, half of the armed police, half of the garrison, and one deputy commander in another car.

Lu Tian's spiritual power roughly checked this, thinking about the dangers that might be encountered in the mission, and prepared to take precautions in advance.

Soon, the car had already left the base for two kilometers, and the occasional zombie that came out was also directly knocked into the air, and the truck was lined up in a straight line, and no one could stop it.

Lush grass began to appear, and in just a week, no one was tending to it, and weeds were growing on both sides of the road, spreading towards the center of the road.

Lu Tian's truck was not in the front, and when he saw that the tail light of the car in front was on, Yuan Xiong also quickly shifted to the first gear and slowed down until it stopped.

The sudden sound of gunfire came from the front, and Yuan Xiong seemed to be listening to the headset, waiting a few seconds before speaking.

"The road ahead is blocked, let's go down and help the handle!"
