Chapter 019: Discuss countermeasures
The entire Dark Blue Star base slowly became quiet, and the residents all lived in newly built houses, although not yet every household had its own room. But even bunk beds are better than sleeping in a tent outside, let alone the pain of wandering around the outskirts of the last days in search of shelter.
Ding You convened relevant personnel again to discuss, mainly in response to today's findings, and hoped that everyone could discuss a general response together.
To be honest, Ding You never thought that he had the absolute ability to conceive all the base construction by himself, so in addition to Yao Songlin and Chen Nuo, Qin Mutian and Tang Jianye, plus Cheng Hai, the captain of the guard team, and the four captains of the patrol team, there was no shortage of all of them.
The newly built operation command center at the base is not large, but several dormitories and weapons warehouses have been vacated, and even the conference room where the base management personnel hold meetings has been made in a good shape.
Since Ding You didn't treat everyone as slaves or captive pets, everyone also spoke freely. From the construction of the base to the response to the risk factors, everyone had a lot of fun.
Although Ding You's posture is relatively low, everyone's opinion still needs him to make a decision in the end. Ding You pondered carefully, took a sip of hot tea, and decided that expanding his strength should be the first priority.
The big guy didn't know where Ding You's food came from, but the old villa was now a forbidden area, and except for Chen Nuo and Yao Songlin, everyone else thought that it had been stacked with a lot of things as a material warehouse.
Of course, this problem will have to be solved in the future, at least to give the residents the illusion that there will be regular supplies to the base for replenishment, which can also eliminate a lot of possible gossip.
However, in order to expand the base, it is first necessary to increase the labor force, and relying on the current 100 or so people alone is indeed stretched. What's more, there are many armed personnel who are shouldering the task of security and defense, and it is rare to take a hand in construction in their free time, but it is really unrealistic to work as a construction worker all the time.
Chen Nuo clamored to contribute to the construction of the base, but Ding You had no choice, so he promised her to go to the ninth district with Qin Mutian next time to buy people.
The reason why Qin Mutian was also allowed to go was not that Ding You didn't believe in Chen Nuo's ability, but that she was worried that if she saw the poor old and weak women and children, she would soften her heart and buy them all back.
Ding You's kindness and soft-heartedness are true, but now is the time for the base to develop greatly. If it's all weak people who need to be taken care of, it's definitely not going to work. So arrange for Qin Mutian to go and have a look, at least the latter is a technician, and he can also choose a skilled person from among the slaves.
In addition, for this time the buying action, Ding You still repeatedly told Chen Nuo and Qin Mutian to pay attention to low-key, not to be too flamboyant and eye-catching in the ninth district all of a sudden, it is really good, you can ask the skinny horse monkey trafficker out, at most in terms of price, give him more profits.
Ding You didn't want to make Pan Wu have too many doubts about his intentions at this juncture, and he was still counting on getting more weapons and materials through him to come back, so he couldn't make a mistake at this time.
After all, it is not cooked or raw, although Ding You has the goods in his hand and is not panicked, and those who can trade can be picked at will. But after all, there is only a larger survivor base in the ninth district, and if he falls out with Pan Wu, the other bigwigs in the ninth district will also have a lot to do with him. When the time comes, they will unite to attack the Deep Blue Star Base, which is still in its infancy, and if this is not good, something big will happen.
At least before he grows stronger, before the ninth district wants to deal with the dark blue star base and weighs it carefully, Ding You still plans to get along with Pan Wu friendly.
Pan Wu had already planned to advance the third trading day, after all, it would soon be the traditional New Year's Day. Although the social order in the apocalypse is falling apart, there are some festivals that are used to put on a gimmick to boost the morale of the residents, which is what every survivor base will do.
For example, in the 9th district, there will be free food distributions on New Year's Eve and on the day. For better or worse, at least it is a gesture displayed by a ruler.
After Chen Nuo and Qin Mutian's work was instructed, the rest of the base expansion matters would be analyzed and explained by Qin Mutian and Tang Jianye.
The four captains of the patrol team and Cheng Hai of the guard team also participated, and planned from the convenience of life and safety protection, and studied a lot, but also took some subtle points into account.
In addition to the base headquarters that has been completed, there are also peripheral warning points around it, mainly because I am worried that this night's situation will happen, and the enemy will touch the base camp, so I will find out later.
However, the opinions of several captains were not quite consistent with Ding You, they thought that there was no need to build a fixed sentry post, after all, it would be too eye-catching, and if it was detected by the enemy in advance, the sentry post would definitely be bypassed. In that case, the so-called sentry post would not make much sense.
It is simply used for the present thing, using the existing dilapidated buildings and buildings, and keeping mobile sentry posts every day, which is convenient and convenient, and the safety factor is much higher.
Of course, Ding You will not object, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense, and it also saves costs. It's just that in this way, long-distance communication tools must be equipped, and you can't always rely on two legs to transmit information.
Moreover, the treatment standards of the team members who go out to patrol and guard should also be appropriately improved, after all, the danger factor has increased greatly, and they are all fighting for their lives.
A few people drank several pots of hot water, and even Yao Songlin's logistics were all arranged. Think about it, too, with the increasing number of personnel, the logistics department must also be organized.
Although it is not practical for some elderly residents to let them carry guns and guns, they have a lot of experience and life experience. At least in terms of personnel management, such as cleaning and sanitation work in the base, it is still possible to manage materials and cook.
A more elaborate code of conduct for the Dark Blue Star base has also been formalized after repeated discussions, and this guiding code provides a code of conduct for all residents, and I believe that in the future, the base will run in a neat and orderly manner, and there will be no more chaos.
It was late at night, and it was already quiet in the Deep Blue Star Base after the meeting.
If it were in a previous life, the peaceful midnight of winter would be the most comfortable time to sleep. But now it's the end of the world, and there are still many unknown dangers outside, so Ding You couldn't sleep after washing, and stood on the balcony outside the bedroom and looked at the dark night in a daze.
I don't know if it's the dust of nuclear radiation that is still affecting it, or if it's a pitiful lack of lights on the earth. Anyway, the night in the last days is much darker than before, and not a single star in the sky can be seen, just like a person who has been thrown into an inkwell, and his eyes are all black.
The darkness always makes people feel lifeless and hopeless, but I didn't expect that even the dark night, like this apocalyptic world, makes people depressed and breathless.
There was a dim light on the inside of the high wall, faintly shining through, and Ding You could see the breath he exhaled from his mouth turn into a cloud of white mist.
It's just the same cold, even colder than before. Ding You shook his head helplessly and sighed, lamenting that he was trapped in this last world, which was really unlucky.
Sometimes when I think about it, maybe deep down in my heart, I don't have any hope of leaving here and returning to the original world, otherwise, I wouldn't be a so-called savior in this last world.
Subconsciously, Ding You was afraid of being alone, and he really couldn't stand the atmosphere of only zombie roars and no human words.
Deftly pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it. In recent days, Ding You's smoking has become more and more proficient. I never smoked before, and I don't know how, but in this last world, when I was a little irritable in my heart, Ding You remembered cigarettes.
At the tobacco and alcohol counter in the supermarket space, there are a lot of ready-made cigarettes, and Ding You usually takes some for the patrol members to smoke, and tries to control the amount of inhalation as much as possible. However, tonight is not peaceful, and the uncertainties outside always make Ding You feel uneasy, so it is natural to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself.
"Why haven't you slept yet?"
Just when Ding You was swallowing the clouds and spitting out the fog, Chen Nuo's voice came from the balcony next door, needless to say, she must have heard the movement of the lighter and smelled the smell of cigarettes, and came out to check.
"Uh, I can't sleep, go outside and get some air." Ding You casually found an excuse to answer.
"On a cold day, you breathe outside and drink the northwest wind!" Chen Nuo, wearing a thick light-colored cotton pajamas, stood on the balcony on the other side half a meter away and smiled lightly.
Ding You didn't know how to answer, so he had to laugh innocently, extinguish most of the cigarette butts he had smoked, and bounce them to the grass in the distance.
"I've always wanted to find an opportunity to thank you, if it weren't for you, maybe I and others wouldn't be able to survive this winter." Chen Nuo was lying on the balcony, looking up at the night sky, his eyes sparkling and he didn't know what he was looking at.
"It's... This is what I can do, no thanks. Ding You felt that it was rude to look at Chen Nuo like this, so he quickly withdrew his gaze.
"No, I have to thank you, without you there is nothing here, no food, no warmth, not even human feelings." Chen Nuo lowered his head and looked at Ding You seriously.
In the dimly lit environment, Ding You couldn't see the expression on Chen Nuo's face clearly, but through these words, he also knew that Chen Nuo was not lying, and his words were completely sincere.
It's just that in the face of a beautiful girl's solemn praise, Ding You is really at a loss. I don't know if I should accept it calmly, or be humble.
"Actually, you don't have to worry at all, the current base is the base of the big guys, as long as someone dares to fight the idea of the base, I believe that everyone will unite to stick to it. If...... If one day I really can't resist it, I believe that no one will regret it. After all, here, everyone has experienced the happiness before the end of the world, and that feeling is no regrets. ”
Ding You didn't know why Chen Nuo suddenly made such a sigh, but in the face of her, Ding You couldn't be cowardly.
The Deep Blue Star Base is no longer alone, there are Chen Nuo, Yao Songlin, Xiaoyu's grandfather and grandson, and many families. Men and women, young and old, are not sacrificed to say that sacrifice can be made.
Human life is as cheap as grass?
No, at least in this Deep Blue Star base.
Never!
