Chapter 016: Unexpected Situation
It's just that Ding You is reluctant to get those inexplicable vaccines, after all, every time he crosses back into the supermarket space, the viruses he carries will be automatically removed.
It works better than any vaccine, so he doesn't need to get more useless shots.
Anti-zombie serum and anti-radiation vaccine, it sounds good, as if as long as you are injected, you will have immunity. Actually, it's not what Ding You thinks at all. The original inoculation of anti-zombie virus serum is mainly used to prevent space transmission and low-level zombie viruses attached to other contacts.
But if you are dragged by a zombie and bite, then no matter how much serum you get, it will still be infected and become a walking dead. The same goes for radiation vaccines, which are mainly designed to protect against radiation in the air, but if you are close to the center of the explosion, you will be able to die.
But fortunately, during this time, the area around the dark blue star base was unusually peaceful, and zombies were rarely seen on weekdays. This made the expansion of the entire base progress extremely smoothly, and even gave Ding You the illusion that the end was about to end.
The first phase of the expansion is almost complete, with the fence being heightened and reinforced, and even two two-storey residential buildings and an operations command center for security personnel. Usually store some guns and ammunition, or have a meeting with the base management or something. Of course, due to the shortage of accommodation, a duty dormitory is also designed inside.
There is also a place for residents to eat in the base, a two-story canteen, the first floor is the kitchen and canteen, the second floor is a small canteen and a few simple private rooms, and the other is the two separate men's and women's bathrooms that occupy the most space.
The water and electricity have been adjusted, and all are connected, if all the lights are turned on at night, the Deep Blue Star Base can be said to have begun to take shape.
With such a fast speed, it is not that the busy residents in the base are superhuman, but during this period, Ding You sent people to the ninth district to buy people to buy equipment, and there was more than one trip.
Several trucks of construction materials were pulled back and forth, and power generation equipment and water purification equipment were added.
After all, more than a month has passed since the last time I traded with Pan Wu. The transaction between the two sides went on again, but this time Ding You did not go in person, but asked Zhao Gang to run errands for him.
32 newcomers were also bought, of which 10 were security personnel, 15 were adult men with various skills, and the other 7 were healthy adult women.
It's not that Ding You doesn't want to get some old people and children back, it's just that this time he went to the slave market to buy people, and it was all chosen by Zhao Gang. Ding You saw that everyone had been shipped back, so naturally he couldn't blame him for not buying the old man and children.
However, among the 10 security guards this time, there was a woman, which surprised Ding You and Chen Nuo.
Looking at his experience, he has also joined the army before, although his skills are not necessarily very smart, but the relevant military skills are quite rich.
Ding You didn't say a word, so he directly assigned the cold short-haired girl named Yang Shu to the guard team and directly served as Chen Nuo's guard. Chen Nuo felt that she didn't need security personnel for her high ability, but Ding You insisted, and she couldn't help it.
At present, the patrol team of the base has been expanded to 4 teams with a total of 32 people, and the guard team has also been expanded to 6 people. Ding You always felt that the base was so calm and a bit stormy, so this was also the main reason for recruiting a group of military personnel again.
On one side is the place where Ding You is burying his head to strengthen himself, and on the other side is a thriving scene in the small base.
Everyone has a place to stay, and they no longer have to sleep in a tent in the yard. Because of the canteen and bath, the order in the whole base is better, and Ding You converted all the original kitchens into small warehouses, which are enough to consume food and other supplies for three months.
After two consecutive transactions with Pan Wu, Ding You also had a lot of crystal cards in his hand at this time, and the energy value in the supermarket energy bracelet was also in the tens of thousands.
It is not difficult to earn crystal cards, after all, there is no shortage of food, and Pan Wu's guy has also done a very slippery business of selling food in the ninth district, and he has also made a lot of money.
However, Ding You had some worries tonight, because the patrol team reported that there seemed to be signs of zombies and surviving human activities at the garbage dumping point four or five hundred meters away from the base.
It has to be said that there is a collective life of hundreds of people, and Ding You also provides a supply of fresh food that is difficult to achieve in the last days. Even though I have paid attention to it, there are always some broken leaves that are discarded during cooking, etc.
Domestic garbage is also generated, so even if it is discarded a few hundred meters from the periphery of the base, it will still be discovered by others. The town where the Deep Blue Star Base is located is not big, but it is definitely not a pocket mini type.
Now Ding You doesn't have so much energy to bring the entire town into the base for the time being, but he usually sends one or two groups of patrols to investigate and investigate the security situation.
After all, my home base is here, and I have to pay great attention to safety.
In the previous days, the patrol team reported that everything was normal, and it was rare to encounter some scattered zombies, and a large number of corpses had never been seen.
But today is different, the patrol found a lot of footprints in the garbage dump, both zombies and humans.
This news is not good news, whether it is a human or a zombie, since it is so close to the base, it is impossible not to find the Deep Blue Star Base. If you attract a large number of zombies, it will make people's heads big.
Ding You touched his forehead with one hand, and tapped the table lightly with the other, thinking about whether he needed to investigate today.
Seeing that it is getting late, and today's dinner is arranged for the whole base to improve the food. In order to celebrate the housewarming after the big guy moved, and also to celebrate a new start in the dark blue star base by the way.
But when I go out like this, I don't know what I'm about to face, and I don't know how long it will be tossed. If it doesn't go well, you won't be able to participate in the evening celebrations.
Just drag it out for one night and look at it tomorrow, it feels like a fish thorn in the throat, and you will definitely not be able to sleep well at night, after all, the suspicious location is too close to the base, and it is only a mile away.
After thinking about it, Ding You finally made up his mind to go and take a look, and it was really uneasy not to see it. asked the captain of the guard, Cheng Hai, to inform Chen Nuo, who was in the cafeteria, but he didn't expect that she would come quickly as soon as she heard the news.
"Going out?"
Chen Nuo cleaned up neatly and neatly, and there was an equally heroic Yang Shu behind him, and the two of them were really heroic and not inferior to men.
After all, they are all from the military and have received special training, even if they are standing, they are more energetic than ordinary people. What's more, Ding You has always been good at eating and drinking during this time, so their faces gradually became brighter.
"Well, the patrol team found that there are suspicious spots not far from the base, it seems that there are a lot of zombies or signs of human activity, it is too close, I don't worry."
Ding You explained simply, planning to take Zhao Gang's patrol team, plus Chen Hai and another guard, a total of ten people to investigate first.
Chen Nuo also volunteered to go, but Ding You disagreed, and counted on her to preside over the overall situation in the base, besides, if there is really any danger, a short distance of 400 meters, it is too late to run to the base.
Chen Nuo was helpless, and even moved out that he was a bodyguard that Ding You personally promised to hire was useless, and Ding You just didn't agree with her going. It was the first time for Chen Nuo to feel that Ding You was so stubborn, and he made trouble for a long time, but in the end he could only pout and reluctantly agreed to stay at home.
As a man, how can you let a woman charge ahead, Ding You, who is full of machismo ideas in his previous life, is certainly unwilling to hide behind a woman, although this woman is still an extraordinary female warrior.
Zhao Gang and Cheng Hai actually opposed Ding You's suggestion to go and observe in person, thinking that Ding You, as the actual leader and boss of the base, could not risk his life, and they could just do this little thing.
But Ding You doesn't want to, when he comes to the end of the world, he hasn't gone out in a serious way. Those zombies were all seen from afar, and they didn't even see their hideous faces up close.
This opportunity is so good, Ding You doesn't want to miss it. Besides, during this time, he was also familiar with various weapons in the base, and he also practiced his hands a few times, so he really wanted to try his marksmanship.
And the incident point is not far from the base, if there is really any unexpected situation that is difficult to deal with at that time, just run back.
So after Ding You explained that the patrol team stationed there was more vigilance, he gathered his men and horses and set off to the suspicious location.
Because of the proximity of the distance, there was no need to even use the lightly armored transport, and the crowd marched wildly with light and heavy weapons.
The reason why the domestic garbage in the base was piled up there was because Ding You had no intention of expanding to the north in the direction of the ninth district. It just so happens that there is a former garbage removal point there, so the waste is directly used as a garbage dump for the Deep Blue Star base.
There were originally a few old houses and storefronts here, and it was only a few turns from the base, so Ding You and 11 people arrived soon.
Except for Ding You, who was a little out of breath, everyone else was as usual. Ding You touched his chin embarrassedly, and secretly sighed that these strong men really had good physical fitness, and their physical fitness data was much higher than that of Chen Nuo.
There were members of the team who had patrolled this place earlier, so after briefly talking about the suspicious places, everyone divided into two teams and began to carefully search the surrounding buildings, Zhao Gang and Cheng Hai naturally stayed to protect Ding You's safety.
After a busy while, the team members who came back one after another shook their heads, indicating that they had not found anything abnormal, and the surrounding houses were empty. As soon as Zhao Gang and Cheng Hai put it together, they discussed with Ding You whether to disperse and control all the empty houses within the garbage heap, wait for a while, and see if there will be any movement later.
Ding You naturally did not object to their suggestions, after all, when it came to this kind of paramilitary arrangement, Ding You knew that he was a complete layman, so he did not command blindly.
Seeing that Ding You nodded in agreement, Zhao Gang reassembled the team and divided the team into three groups of three, guarding the three houses in the visual range of the garbage heap.
As for Ding You's words, they were specially protected by Cheng Hai, and together with Zhao Gang's group, they stayed in the 3-story small building facing the garbage dump.
