Chapter 104: The Choice of Direction
"Hello everyone, is it already time to eat?"
As soon as Shen Lie came out of the room, he saw that everyone was already gathered around the table, and a large basin was placed on the table, and there was gruel in it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This is their standard meal, every morning is porridge, if there is no situation at noon, they do not eat, and sometimes they will cook some dry rice and vegetables in the evening, but most of them are also porridge with some small pickles.
"Why are you all sad?" Shen Lie sat down at the table, and before anyone else could react, Cheng Shanshan hurriedly got up and picked up a bowl to make a bowl of porridge for Shen Lie, and then peeled the only egg on the table and put it in front of Shen Lie.
In the process of peeling eggs, Cheng Shanshan's hands were trembling, and she kept swallowing saliva, and she didn't know how much perseverance it took to hold back from sending the eggs to her mouth.
"Hey, there's an egg, where did you get it?" Shen Lie glanced at Cheng Shanshan, then at the peeled eggs, and asked out in confusion.
"Today is the day of the distribution." Xu Ruobing's crisp voice sounded, and a word relieved Shen Lie's confusion.
The Dawning Base also has treatment for the awakened in the inner city, after all, the number of awakened is scarce and is currently the main combat force, even if you don't join the city guard, as long as you live in the city, it will bring a lot of benefits to this gathering point, and each base has certain benefits for the awakened, which is used to attract the awakened to join.
However, the treatment of the awakened people of the non-city guards can only be said to be better than nothing, ordinary awakened people only give two catties of rice and one or two salts every month, and the first-level awakened people who ignite a node are given three catties of rice, two taels of salt, and the second-level ones add two catties of rice and a few packets of instant noodles and biscuits and other non-staple foods.
But the treatment of the third-level awakened people was immediately different, the number of third-level awakened people was extremely rare, even in a larger gathering point like Dawn City, there were not a few third-level masters, and they were basically all within the city guards, and there were only two or three people scattered.
The few third-level awakened people who have not joined the city guard army have a record in the management department, and they will be given some special benefits every month, such as toffee, tobacco and alcohol. Because it is not too difficult for a third-level awakened person to go to the wild to find some food, ordinary things are not very attractive.
This time it should be an egg, but it will definitely not be just one, but Xu Ruobing and the others didn't cook much, only cooked one for him, the head of the regiment.
"Divide a few of these things, cook them all and eat them together, I guess we won't be able to stay here for long." Shen Lie picked up the egg and stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it and took a sip of water and said.
"What? Captain, you decided to leave? After hearing Shen Lie's words, everyone's faces were happy.
"Hehe, it's almost, but we have to think about where to go first, go and boil the eggs first, and everything else is done together, let's study it after eating."
Shen Lie motioned for Xia Ke to boil eggs, and Zhang Xue and Cheng Shanshan also hurriedly followed, the three of them were not awakened yet, and they couldn't make useful suggestions here. 、
"I think we might as well go to the Yellow River base, although it's a little farther away, but after all, it's a large gathering point second only to the Wolf Tooth Base and Dragon City, and you can go to the Wolf Tooth Base at any time." As soon as Shen Lie's voice fell, Zhao Ying, who was next to him, immediately took over the conversation. This slender girl is also very timid, and she hasn't said anything these days completely out of loyalty to Shen Lie.
"The Yellow River base is a little far away, I think the nearest iron sword base is good, Tianwang said that it was established in the foundation mountain of a county town, and all kinds of equipment are much stronger than this dawn base." Zheng Long objected to Zhao Ying's opinion and proposed to go to the nearest Iron Sword Base.
"The Iron Sword Base is not very close, although it is the closest to the south, but it is still seven or eight hundred miles away, and there is a fluorescent insect infestation area called the death zone in the middle, which is not so easy to pass through." Xu Ruobing's words sounded, and the other people immediately became silent.
"Xu Ruobing is right, if you go south, even the nearest Iron Sword Base is some distance away from us, and if you go north, it will be Yangcheng, and there has been a change because of the nuclear bomb strike, let alone the past. We now have two options, one is to go west into the savannah, and then go south first, and then go east by water, bypassing the fluorescent insect area, but it is said that the danger at sea is higher than on land. ”
Regarding the surrounding situation, Shen Lie had already studied it very carefully, but now the location of the Dawn Base was very special, and there was really no good place to go after leaving here.
"Not on the prairie, the information on the sky net shows that the prairie is now the world of mutant wolves, even those spider monsters dare not stay there, we are no different from looking for death in the past." After Xu Ruobing heard Shen Lie's analysis, he took the lead in vetoing the method of going west into the grassland.
There were no good places in the four directions of the southeast, west, and northwest, and several people immediately began to become frowning again, and at this time, Xia Ke and the three of them had already boiled the eggs and brought them up, and they also cooked two side dishes, and it was another hearty breakfast.
"Okay, don't think too much about it first, let's fill your stomach first." Shen Lie had already planned in his heart, but he didn't have any pressure, so he took the eggs and put them on the table, beckoning everyone to start eating.
Although a small chicken farm has been set up in Dawning City, eggs are only available to the high-level in the city, and third-level awakened people like Shen Lie will occasionally get one or two.
They have only been here for more than a month, and they have only received two distributions of supplies this time, but they did not expect that this time ten eggs were distributed at one time, and everyone could eat one.
These eggs made everyone's eyes shine, temporarily leaving the troubles brought by Zhou Tianlong behind, and began to revel in the delicious taste as if they had only eaten in their previous lives.
The meal was eaten quickly, and after eating, Shen Lie fed the big bird Xiaohong again, and then had a conversation with Xu Ruobing alone.
"Where do you think we should go?" Although Shen Lie had some decisions in his heart, he still had to listen to the opinion of the woman in front of him, the other party's thinking was very clear, and sometimes he would put forward some very useful suggestions.
"In fact, the best choice is to stay on hold and slowly develop your strength in this place. I feel that there will be a big change in this world, and only strong strength can live for a long time. Xu Ruobing's face was full of worries about the future, and he did not ignore the crisis outside because of the temporary stability in front of him.
"This is impossible, you know our situation." Shen Lie shook his head, whether or not there was such a person as Zhou Tianlong, in fact, he had never thought of staying in this Dawn Base for a long time.
The geographical location of this base is too delicate, although there are no other gathering points nearby to compete to gather a large number of awakened people, but don't forget that there are two large cities in the vicinity that have been attacked by monsters, and when the remaining humans over there are swept away or escaped, the eyes of those monsters will inevitably shift to this base.
At that time, it is really unknown whether this base can be held. However, in his opinion, it is not optimistic, although there are a large number of awakened city guard legions in the city, as well as the four god generals with explosive force value, but they are still very weak in front of those overwhelming monsters.
If the Aurora base wants to hold the city, unless there is a secret hole card that he doesn't know, it is unlikely that he will use his current strength.
It was because of this idea that Shen Lie did not join Dawning City, and even the top leader of the Dawning Base, the chief Li Mengshan, personally came to recruit him, but he still did not agree.
"If we leave, I think it would be a good choice for us to divert from Bac Ha province to the sea, and although the danger on the beach is great, it is still less than that of several other places."
"I also think so, I didn't expect the two of us to be able to agree on the same opinion once, so it was decided to bypass the capital through Bac Ho Province, and then go to the mountain and river base in Dong Son Province along the sea."
Seeing that Xu Ruobing's thoughts were the same as his, Shen Lie immediately nodded and made a final decision, and then gathered everyone together, analyzed the situation and potential danger of the Dawning Base with them, and talked about his and Xu Ruobing's decision.
After Shen Lie's analysis, everyone also felt that the peace and stability of the Shuguang base was just an illusion, and there was no need for the monsters on the other side of Yangcheng, as long as the monster groups on the side of the capital shifted their attention to this side, it would be enough for the base to suffer. Even if they can hold on, they will definitely suffer heavy casualties, and they will inevitably be called up to fight those monsters.
After figuring it out, everyone unanimously agreed on the idea of going to the mountain and river base, because the place with the most human survivors at present is an area south of Dongshan Province, and a little further south there is a super-large gathering point Dragon City, and the surrounding capable survivors are moving in that direction.
"Okay, since everyone has no opinion, let's act according to this method, but no one is allowed to make a noise about this matter, you can quietly prepare some supplies first."
Shen Lie gave the order with a decisive word, and then everyone began to prepare separately.
