Text Chapter 84: After the Shelling
Soon the fax machine highlighted a document, which read: "Today, the army of the Morgan family went out and encountered an ambush of a large number of survivors, adhering to the concept of helping each other, as a neighbor, our LEG base carried forward the spirit and used our precious shells to relieve the siege of the Morgan family's army, hoping that the LEG base can deepen the relationship with the sea base and live in peace."
The signature of the document is: LEG Base, Jiang Sen.
The cannon in the city continued, and old Morgan did not change his expression after reading the document, nor did he speak, he summoned the servant, but handed the document to the servant, "Send him to a young master." ”
"Bang dang!" When Alexander read this document, he could no longer bear it and threw everything that could be dropped in his office to the ground, he had already received information that neither of the two ambushed companies survived the shells and fire, and the supporting third company could not support at all.
He was very angry when he got the data on the losses of his subordinates, but he held back until this fax from the LEG base: two companies in civilian clothes at the SEA base were ambushed on both sides of the road, and in the middle of the road happened to be the third company of the heavily armed SEA base, and there was no third party at the shelling site, this is the scene where the third company of the SEA 01 base was ambushed by the "survivors", and the LEG base provided artillery support. Alexander had to swallow this dumb loss alive, and the fact that the fax had spread to the other families' bases meant that it was impossible for the Morgan family to attack the "good neighbors who love and help each other", after all, the LEG base provided artillery support to the Sea base.
As night fell, a slender crescent moon appeared on the horizon. Like a girl's Emei, sexy and full of temptation.
Wayne sat on the dusty couch, staring through the glassless window at the area covered by the day's artillery fire, where there was still an unextinguished fire, and the unextinguished fire silently shone on this cold world. The people sent by Wayne to report the situation to the Morgan family have not returned, and the shells are coming from the north, so it is obvious that the losing side this time is the Morgan family, judging from the preparation of the artillery fire, the LEG base has already prepared an artillery position, that is to say, Wayne's subordinates have been discovered by Jiang Sen when they reported the Morgan family, but Jiang Sen did not kill himself, nor did he leave in a hurry, but calmly responded, this is the image of the real leader in Wayne's mind.
He lives in a 26-storey residential building, and because zombies can't climb, the stairs on the first and second floors of the building have been blown off, leaving only a long rope extending from the third floor for climbing. The zombies in the building were cleaned up, and it became a shelter for hundreds of survivors, and there were all kinds of small groups of hundreds of people, and Wayne's small group was only a dozen people, just one of hundreds of small groups in the residential building.
There were more than a dozen people in the room, a few bricks on the balcony made a simple stove, and the discarded furniture in the building was ignited, and the firewood chopped by these parents was difficult to light but very resistant to burning.
A dozen men occupied the entire Sixteen Cities, and they used all the kitchen utensils of the original owner of the house. Water, electricity and gas have long been cut off, and essential domestic water can only be brought up in barrels from the underground wells downstairs. The process was tiring, and no one wanted to live at a terrifying height like twenty-six floors.
The fire in the earthen stove was not too strong, and the pot on the stove contained rice and water, but it had not been boiled, and the dozen or so people around began to discuss:
"What a shocking shelling is today?"
"Yes! And heavy artillery! I haven't seen a heavy cannon again? It's really exciting to see the heavy artillery firing today! ”
"Yes! Since the signing of the peace treaty decades ago, there have been no heavy artillery and missiles for a long time, and I really want to know where the Morgan family got the heavy artillery! ”
"What Morgan family, the shells flew from the northern suburbs, and those were shells from the LEG base in the northern suburbs!"
"That's right! I also saw that the shells were flying from the northern suburbs, and it seems that the LEG base in the northern suburbs is very strong! You see that the rice in our pot is now exchanged with the people in the LEG base, and I heard that they still have a new house, so I am really envious! ”
"That's right! You see, every one of the people we meet in the LEG base is very strong and has excellent weapons! ”
"The main thing is that they are still clean, I heard who we have people who have air conditioning at home!"
"What? Air conditioning? Do they have electricity? ”
......
Wayne sat by the window and listened to the conversation of his companions, which he believed was going on among all the remaining survivors in the city, and that the bombardment of the LEG base had not only saved their rulers, but more importantly, had planted the majesty of the LEG base in the city of Houston.
The porridge finally boiled, and a faint fragrance emanated through the room.
In October, the weather is getting colder.
The new phase of the LEG base has been accepted, and the tall walls have been erected high, giving visitors a majesty that has been oppressed. The new phase of the project has completed 1,500 apartment houses and 1,000 two-bedroom houses, and now the total number of houses in the LEG base will reach 4,000 units, which has initially taken the scale of a small town.
The construction of these 4,000 homes, ancillary buildings, and city walls has largely exhausted the building materials in the city of Houston, forcing the base to postpone the next phase of the project. The civil committee in the small building has not announced the next phase of the building plan for a long time, which has doubled the price of the 4,000 residences in the base, and the civil committee in the small building has to suppress the housing price, because there are too many zombie stones through the small building of Jingtao Real Estate, which means that the survivors in the base do not have enough stones to strengthen themselves. In order to redistribute resources, the small building base began to be gradually filled with government officials, the police force expanded to 500 people, and the various departments of the civil committee also expanded to 500 people.
The market economy in the base is gradually developing, and many privately built shops have appeared around schools, hospitals, police stations and several government office buildings, selling all kinds of products, and the new urban commercial center has consciously taken shape.
In addition, in terms of food reserves, Zhenye Agricultural Company has bulldozed the nearby fields, and the school provides teaching services for children during the day, and at night, Zhenye Company holds agricultural training here, because most of the survivors have a certain level of knowledge and have reached the standard of first-order reinforcement, so although the classroom learning of agriculture is boring, it is not difficult for them.
The search squads organized by the survivors began to go further. They drove their cars around the neighboring suburbs to search for supplies, bringing back more than a dozen pigs, cattle, sheep and other domestic animals, as well as a few plows that were essential for farming. Some tractors can't drive up the mountains and have to rely on this stuff to turn over the soil.
Because of the shortage of gasoline, the people of the agricultural company grabbed several zombies and put iron clips on them. Then, one person holds the stick and controls it, one person holds the plow behind the zombie, and the last person walks in front with the live rat he has caught. The hungry zombies were attracted by the "squeaking" rats, howling and rushing forward, and the chains and belts tightly tied to their bodies pulled the plows. In this way, the three-person ploughing pattern, although somewhat complicated, is very effective.
After all, zombies have much greater strength and speed than ploughing oxen. No need to eat grass and no rest.
There is a rushing river not far from the LEG base, and in the next construction plan of the base, a hydropower station integrating flood control and drought control and power generation will be built here, but because of the shortage of building materials, the construction has to be stopped, but this has not stopped the survivors from fishing in the river, these fatty live fish can be sold at a very good price in the market, and any food is never sold in the LEG market.
But although the food of the base is increasing under the effect of the market economy, in fact, the main staple food flour and rice are still supplied by the base, and the food consumption of more than 10,000 people is amazing, Jiang Sen must find a new source of food, he touched the mysterious material embedded in his chest, from the video left by the president, it can be known that it is not only the control key of a hundred machines in the shelter, but also the key of the time travel machine, but is the time travel machine easy to use? If it's easy to use, where will it go?
