Recently, the news from Xingnan Province is reassuring, more and more people have passed the quarantine period, and after crossing the wall in batches, they will have to live in the second isolation point for a week, and then transfer to the third isolation point.

If there is no abnormality after spending a week at the third quarantine point, you can officially become a free person.

This is Wang Zhi's new policy, and the purpose is to prevent accidents from happening.

By August of the sixth year of Zhongzhou, the ships traveling between the north and the south were no longer mainly for material supplies, but mainly for talent exchanges.

Laborers and troops north of the wall began to move northward to replenish the labor force that was urgently needed in the homeland and to systematically learn military knowledge.

In addition, some families with outstanding performance and meritorious contributions to auspiciousness are also allowed to go to auspicious life.

The first batch of Xingnan people who went to Jixiang to work began to return to their hometowns one after another, and what they saw and heard became their biggest gain.

The most intuitive feeling given to the locals by this group of people is that their spirit has changed, and they are no longer as dazed and directionless as before.

It's a change that can be seen and felt, and it all comes from the auspicious, the place of their dreams.

In addition, a large number of auspicious 'specialties' and bags of gold coins all deeply stimulate everyone.

Wang Zhi's government's propaganda efforts have never weakened, and now it is the harvest season, and the hard work of the past few years has been worth it.

So after striking while the iron was hot and announcing the conditions for the family to move into the mainland, everyone's enthusiasm and cooperation reached a higher level.

At the end of July, Yu Bo left the decapitation team he had sent before, and returned, with a few more people.

The Moon Clan, Wen Yu and all the high-ranking people were all wiped out, and they were all killed.

The Yang clan, Xiang Yang, who was hiding in the city lord's mansion, died of wind and cold, and then infected the people in the entire mansion, and the rest had accidents one after another, and none of the high-level people were spared.

The Gaoshan are an exception.

At the beginning, several pilots of the Jixiang Air Force fell into the territory of the Gaoshan tribe by accident, and helped them establish a set of effective epidemic prevention measures, so that the tribe escaped the catastrophe.

When Liu Zhi and the others began to kill Xiang Yang, they found the long-missing air force brothers, and after some exchanges, Xiang Yang expressed his sincerity, and so far, auspicious unified Xingnan Dao.

When Zhou Yunchao and Liang Sihao learned that the missing brothers were still alive, they rushed over directly from Sun Moon City, and when the quarantine period expired, everyone was drunk.

Now south of the wall, except for the corners, there are almost no people, and the most visible thing is a pile of rotting white bones.

In early August, Wang Zhi and Xiao Qiangzhi jointly convened a military and political conference to discuss the rescue of the people in the south.

"Now that the South Province of Singapore is unified, no matter what the past is, the living are all our citizens. In times of crisis, they are our greatest asset. ”

Wang Zhi set the tone, and the participants all thought so.

"Before the disaster, the population of the four ethnic groups in the south was nearly 10 million, and the survivors at this time did not know how much, which required the military to pay. ”

The chaos has just been cured, but it does not mean that the source of infection has been eliminated.

At the beginning, the Armor tribe was infected by animals, so if you want to cure the root, it will take at least a few years and a lot of effort to get it.

Xiao Qiangzhi continued: "What the committee members said is reasonable, no matter what happened in the past, we are all auspicious people now, and we can't see death without help." The military has drawn up a complete set of plans and will do its utmost to save the people from fire and water. ”

The scheme is somewhat simple, and the simplicity borders on brutality.

The military dispatched troops, crossed the refugee camp south of the wall, and began to unfold in a word, wading through the water, climbing over the mountains, and rushing to the nearest isolation point for all the people they met.

Those who are disobedient and run around can imagine the end.

In order to prevent loopholes, the military had to pull the net to search, and the east and west had to reach the seashore, which required that the number of troops invested could not be small.

Since there are a lot of troops invested, supply has become a problem, so the military can only adopt a steady strategy.

Every time a certain distance is advanced, isolation zones are set up, fortifications are built, roads and bridges are paved, simple housing is built, and infrastructure is built.

Then take the newly constructed area as a springboard to continue the exploration and construction of the next journey.

Everywhere they go, they kill everything except normal people.

The lime plant has tripled in size, and the next wave of supply ships will also be mainly carrying lime.

Those who were driven out were divided into groups of about 100 people and villages for every 10 groups, and were subject to militarized management.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are provided free of charge by the Jixiang military and the Xingnan Provincial Government, as long as you can survive half a month, you can enter the north of the wall to live a normal life.

In order to speed up the rescue process and let the people farther south be saved as soon as possible, we will use the power of the navy. ”

Xiao Qiangzhi knew that Zifeng was dissatisfied, so he found him some errands to pass the time.

Taking advantage of the mobility of the navy, the land forces were transported to both sides of the continent to land, and then they marched in unison, converged at the center of the continent, and then spread out to the north and south, advancing in both directions.

The human activity area, which takes half a month to complete on foot, will not be able to see the end of a year or two if it is built and advanced at the same time.

At that time, let alone rescue, it was estimated that it would be difficult to find a living person.

In this way, the time is at least more than doubled.

Of course, the huge consumption of materials is also a big test for Xingnan Dao.

"In order to solve the problem of material supply, we have placed orders with more than 100 island owners. Wang Zhi said to the point.

"Including seafood, poultry, eggs, marine food, rice, vegetables. It's just that the people in the north want to save some rice that is easy to store and transport it to the south, and the government will exchange it for these aquatic products. ”

"Also, in order to prevent infection, raw water is not consumed. ”

The words of the committee members are also to the point, all for the sake of living more people.

"As for the types of aquatic products, there are so many of them, as long as they can eat, including big fish. ”

'Big fish' is the saying of Xingnan Province, and according to Wang Xuan's name, it is more appropriate to call it 'whale'.

In the waters around Singnando, especially near the storm wall, there are often schools of whales cruising and fishing boats fishing here, but not whales.

The fish caught by people have already covered the daily wear and tear of some whales, so it is necessary to kill some fish to prevent a large number of fish from declining and causing an imbalance in the ecological chain.

It's just that so far, no one has ever tasted the meat of the 'big fish'.

"From now on, the engineering troops must follow the army to the south, and they must ensure the absolute smooth flow of the main roads. ”

There was not much to say at the meeting, that is, the plan was announced, and the specific implementation had to be flexibly adjusted by the military's control.

Three days later, two warships of the Syngnam Provincial Navy and a flat-topped supply ship with a unique shape and almost no superstructure visible.

The three warships made their way north, leaving the fishing boats behind and approaching the storm wall.

"This is the military's second attempt to hunt the 'big fish'. "There are sailors, judging by the course of the three ships.

"It's all forced by refugees from the south, and the place is so big, but there are more and more people, and if it weren't for the support of so many islands and reefs around it, I don't know how many people would have starved to death. ”

A woman rocked the paddle and slightly controlled the boat to move westward.

"I hope there will be a catch, at least a big fish, enough for many people to eat for a long time. ”

Along the way, fishermen pointed and talked about whether the second fishing would be successful.

"Your Majesty has said before that whales are treasures all over their bodies, but we are not allowed to hunt young whales, and we must not break their roots. Zifeng stood on the deck, enjoying the hot and humid sea breeze.

This whaling is an errand he asked Xiao Qiangzhi for, anyway, it will be a while before he goes south, and this half month will be his vacation.

"What if it's a pregnant female whale?" the staff officer asked.

"Naturally, I let it go, this sea area is so big, you can return to the sea if you catch one. Zifeng was a little yearning for the coming days.

"It's a pity that the boat is too small, and the whale is too big, so even if you kill one, you don't know how to load it on board. ”

Zifeng said with a smile: "Find the fish first, hunt one and then think about this." ”

Approaching the Storm Wall, the three ships turned eastward, heading for the Transit Supply Depot.

After arriving at the whale activity area, there was no sign of them, so the fleet continued east.

On the second day, the sharp-eyed lookout issued a warning warning.

"Quick, deck guns ready, southeast to find whales. Zifeng was happy like a child and hurried into the war room.

"Gunners beware, hunt only large adult whales, let the rest go, let the rest go. ”

Zifeng still remembered that His Majesty said that if you have to, don't hunt whales, if you have to, you have to pick up a big adult whale.

Because the large ones are often males, the low density of hunting will hardly affect the reproduction of whales.

"Boat No. 2 went to the right, forming an angle with me, and the paddle wheel was driving at full speed. ”

"Load the javelin, load the hair. ”

"Javelin, fire, reloaded. ”

"The deck guns of the first ship were aimed at the head, and the deck guns of the second ship were aimed at the middle section, and the signal flag was ordered to fire at the same time. ”

Zifeng kept giving orders and robbed the gun commander of his job.

The speed of the two warships is not slow, but the speed of the whale group is even faster.

Maybe it was out of curiosity, or maybe they were tired of swimming, but after a while, their speed gradually slowed down, giving Zifeng a chance to catch up.

As the minutes ticked by, the two warships kept the same speed and slowly approached the whales, and the deck guns in the bow were already ready to fire.

The whales swam slower and slower, and from time to time sprayed more than ten meters high water mist from above, wetting the deck.

Just as the two warships were about to cross the whale group, the red signal flag on the No. 1 ship was decisively waved, and the two naval guns immediately let out an earth-shattering sound, quickly pushing the two javelins with iron chains out.

The javelin of the No. 1 ship failed to hit the head of the fish and was several meters behind, and similarly, the javelin of the No. 2 ship was also more than ten meters behind and was nailed to the tail of the whale.

These two loud noises, almost in no particular order, frightened them, and they began to speed away eastward.

And the whale that had been shot, had just swam far before it suddenly stopped, and a large amount of blood poured out of the sea.

"Follow its direction, consume it. ”

The whale that was shot was heavily injured, and the javelin with triangular barbs, driven by gunpowder, produced a huge impact, pushed them deep into the whale's body, and then opened the barb and stuck between the bones.

The more a wounded whale tries to use speed and brute force to break free, the more damage it will suffer.

The two warships did not fight against it, and as it slipped around a few times, the struggle gradually became weak.

The sea was already scarlet.

"Closing the chain. ”

As the command came, the winch began to turn, and the chains, which were sometimes loose and sometimes tight, began to straighten.

At first, the ship will shake a little or two, and gradually, it will calm down again.

"What a big guy!"

The sailors looked at the behemoth around them and couldn't help but exclaim.

I had only seen it from afar before, and I felt that it was incomparably huge, giving people a huge sense of oppression, but now when I look at it closely, I am becoming more and more insignificant.

When the two warships were driven in a figure, the chain was already tight, and nearly half of the whale's body surfaced, but no matter how high it was, it was not good.

At this time, the supply ship with an extremely low deck rushed up from behind, like a unique bow of a bamboo tube split in the middle, and crashed directly into the whale.

What everyone feared didn't happen.

I saw the bow of the supply ship slamming into the water, and under the huge inertia, it actually 'lifted' the behemoth.

Then, the two ships began to reverse and tow the whale towards the middle of the supply ship.

And just like that, the huge whale was dragged aboard the weird supply ship.

This is followed by cutting, decomposing, sorting them into storage rooms, where ice cubes are used to cool down.
