Chapter 72: Base Building
Team cohesion is generated by time and life. Jiang Sen didn't dare to guarantee that every new member could sincerely support him, but judging from the recent work results, the survivors left by Robert before had basically recognized Jiang Sen after a period of time, and they lived with the core members in the small building, although they would greet politely every day, but they still had awe for the core members in their hearts, and because of their familiarity with themselves, Jiang Sen also distributed capsules containing his own blood to them. Many medical students tasted the so-called main ingredient of the vaccine at the moment of entering the mouth, and this situation was discovered by Chen Ying, and she immediately told Jiang Sen.
"Chen Ying, you go to find a chance opportunity to expose the stones in the zombies' brains, of course, just pretend that you stumbled upon it, and then find something for this group of heavenly pride!" Jiang Sen plans to throw out the matter of stones, and soon, there will be scientific researchers who will find stones, Jiang Sen plans to exchange stones for some benefits before the stones are discovered by others, and by the way, his team will be elected as the leading scientific research team for the study of zombies in the last days, the benefits of science and technology will always be unimaginable, this scientific research team represented by Chen Ying will become the shield of Jiang Sen's team in the last days: we are a little ahead in scientific research, so if we accidentally expose an amazing power, please don't be too surprisedAfter all, our scientific research strength is very strong.
In addition, after the addition of new personnel, the construction fortifications outside the small building have been re-expanded project planning, the fence has been pushed out dozens of kilometers again, and the inside of the wall has been planned into a small town capable of accommodating tens of thousands of people, and there are hospitals, schools, police stations and fire centers on the planning map, and when the major families are busy restoring order in the last days, they have not paid attention to it, in the valley of Houston, a small base is building a new order.
Two Humvees drove out of the valley one after the other, driving along the city's empty roads, kicking up a cloud of dust.
In the first car, Mr. Johnson was behind the wheel, and after the Morgan family had cleaned it up, the city became even more desolate. Zombies still haunted the streets in the distance, weaving through the ruins left behind by the army, punctuated by the muffled howls of terrible creatures.
The long-term hunting quickly improved the combat strength of the core members of the team. The end of the massive harvest combined with the action of Gingerson's blood made each of them intensify to the second stage. Together with those who had taken it before, the total number of stones was enough for Jiang Sen to break through the limit and become a fourth-stage enhancer.
There were two other passengers in the carββββ Jack, MD, who was in the passenger seat, and Chen Kun, a doctor of architecture, who was sitting in the back seat. The two of them were the first to move into the small building, and slowly they also responded to Jiang Sen's trust, and they were going to enter the city to carry out actual combat after talking about indoor martial arts training today.
Day after day, the number of survivors participating in field training continues to increase, and the high fence outside the valley is progressing according to the work plan.
Including Jiang Sen, the number of survivors who moved into the small building has reached eighty-five, among which the core members are Jiang Sen, Wang Muyan, Li Tao, Zhang Derun, Yan Juan, Wang Zhenye, Chen Jing, Chen Ying, Luan Huan, Luan Yue, Wang Na, Gu Han, most of them have already stepped into the second-order enhancement, and are about to break through to the third-order reinforcement. As for the other survivors, they have all reached the first-order enhancement, as for the hundred mechanical soldiers, they accept Jiang Sen's ideas, so those hundred soldiers can even be regarded as a hundred fourth-order reinforcements like Jiang Sen. Therefore, the power of this hidden small base in the valley is actually the number one among all the forces in the base, not to mention that there is an incomparable treasure trove behind the small building.
With the continuous improvement of the order of the Xiaolou base, the core ruling layer of the Xiaolou base was also established in a meeting: the ruling power of the base is owned by the Standing Committee, and the Standing Committee has a chairman, two vice chairmen, and four Standing Committee members, and seven Standing Committee members act according to the principle of the minority obeying the majority, and the Standing Committee is divided into a military committee specifically used for military power and a civilian committee in charge of administration. The Civil Committee will have a Department of Public Safety, which is in charge of the security of the small building base, a commercial department in charge of the business of the small building base, and a construction department in charge of the construction of the small building.
Jiang Sen is chairman of the Standing Committee and chairman of the Military Committee, in charge of the overall affairs of the base and military affairs, Wang Zhenye is vice chairman in charge of internal affairs, Wang Muyan is vice chairman in charge of external affairs, and the remaining four members of the Standing Committee are Zhang Derun, chairman of the Civil Affairs Committee, Li Tao, minister of public security, Luan Huan, minister of commerce, Chen Jing, minister of construction, and Yan Yanjuan, director of logistics support.
In the era of civilization, the oil fields of the Middle East have long since dried up, and there is no longer a hot conflict area in the world, and capital has squeezed every drop of oil out there, and finally withdrew, leaving only an endless desert there.
Nowadays, various major powers have extended their tentacles to the ocean, Asian countries have obtained combustible ice from the ocean under the leadership of China, and the United States has not developed new energy due to the obstruction of petrochemical vested interests, but they have discovered a large number of deep-sea oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico, after the breakthrough in oil drilling technology, a series of deep-sea drilling platforms have been set up in the Gulf of Mexico, and these oil are continuously transported into the United States through pipelines, and Houston City is the delivery place of these oil pipelines extending from the ocean.
After a period of hard work, the Morgan family finally took control of the Houston oil port, they restored 20% of the drilling rigs in the Gulf of Mexico, and built a high wall in the Houston oil port, as for the city of Houston, after getting the city's human resources, the Morgan family has completely given up.
Empty city, several trucks drove in, jumped dozens of survivors, they are not members of the Morgan family, but belong to Jiang Sen's base, after stabilizing the order, Jiang Sen has let go of the flow of people, in order to restore the operation of the macro economy, enrich the economy of the market, Jiang Sen allows the people in the base to enter the city in batches to collect their own supplies, at the same time, they also need to collect zombie stones, and exchange stones for residences.
The group of survivors who had taken Jiang Sen's blood parked their cars next to the appliance store, the first phase of the project in front of the small building was almost completed, and the survivors who moved into their new homes needed household items, and since a group of survivors brought back several truckloads of furniture that were quickly snatched up, groups of survivors have been flocking to the furniture stores in Houston.
This group of survivors who went out have Ethan, who graduated from economics, he has already seen that the continuous influx of furniture has filled the small market of more than 10,000 people, calculating to pay taxes, pulling furniture from the city back to sell it has not made much profit, the base can provide electricity, although the price of electricity is surprisingly high, but he believes that more than 10,000 survivors are always rich and willing to enjoy the convenience of life brought by household appliances, so after contacting the companions, they came to the home appliance store, The survivors who got out of the car excitedly hunted the zombies, collected the stones, and soon they were fully loaded.
The construction of the small building base is progressing much faster than expected, and the survivors are full of enthusiasm when they know that they will be building their own homes.
The first phase of the project, which ended yesterday, includes more than a dozen six-story buildings with a total of 1,000 small independent rooms, which were already empty by the survivors before they were completed, and those who were the first to be allowed to enter the city took out the zombie stones they had in their hands to book rooms.
In addition, various supporting buildings have also been completed, a four-story police station stands in front of the small building, guarding the small building, and at the same time maintaining this order, a new round of police recruitment has also begun, Li Tao was appointed as the chief of the police department, and today he will recruit 300 new police officers.
Ali is the first group of survivors who defected to Xiaolou, he is very grateful to Jiang Sen, because if it weren't for Jiang Sen, he may have been eaten by Robert, he is also the first group of guards to maintain order, but now the guards have officially changed their names to police, and he was appointed as the captain of the security brigade He stood proudly behind Li Tao, looking at the group of applicants in front of him, it was inevitable that he was a little complacent.
According to the type of police, the police are divided into: public security police, the public security police are responsible for the maintenance of order in the base, including order maintenance, criminal case investigation, household registration information collection and management, traffic management and other matters related to the internal governance of the base; In addition, there are the armed police, which are also paramilitary organizations of the base, and they are responsible for patrolling the walls, resisting outside infiltration, and all other matters related to the security of the base.
This time, the base only recruited 300 police officers, but there were enough tens of thousands of applicants, because this was the first official job offered by the Xiaolou base, and if it could be selected, the salary would be very high: a house, three meals a day and a canteen, and each with a salary.
In addition to the residential and police station, there are two trading centers covering an area of more than 500 square meters in the first phase of the project, Ethan did not apply for a police officer, nor was he in a hurry to meet an apartment with only 1,000 units to live in, and used his savings to buy a bunk in the trading center, and now the small building base and the private transaction in the standardized transaction, competition does not pay taxes, so this batch of household appliances was bought by Ethan who has a bunk, and he spent a few stones to hire someone to move the household appliances shipped from the city into the warehouse in the bunk, He was going to start buying the first step of his business empire, he didn't know that the stones in this zombie would become rare after the zombie evolved, so when the police who collected taxes came to collect taxes, he consciously took out his remaining stones, a total of twenty-seven, the tax was twenty-five stones, he swallowed two stones, and consciously handed over twenty-five stones.
He just thought that the people in power in Xiaolou just wanted to seize the time to restore the operation of the economy, so they had so easy to obtain zombie stones to make circulation equivalents. "But the strengthening of the body's strength brought by stones is really obvious, it's a good thing, I hope that a batch of goods can have a good income, and enhancing one's ability through stones is fundamental!" , He didn't know that the increase in his strength was due to eating the capsules with Jiang Sen's blood distributed, and he believed that Jiang Sen said that the increase in his energy was due to the effect of stones. After the departure of the Ministry of Commerce, he entered his warehouse and carefully wiped down the dusty appliances.
