Chapter 394: A Gift to the Whole City
In the end, Ye Bing paid a total of 900 points of energy for this base transformation plan.
Even so, this is only the first phase of the project, which is the cost of meeting the most basic needs. In the future, more energy will need to be spent if it wants to develop further.
But even so, Ye Bing felt that it was worth it.
After this phase of renovation, the entire base area will soon become a safe haven.
It is not an exaggeration to call it a paradise for mankind.
The tap water produced at the base will flow into thousands of households through the newly built pipes, and water resources will no longer be a problem for everyone.
In addition to the water source, the heating and power supply for the entire site area will also be provided by the main site.
And the price of maintaining all this is only two of the most basic white magic crystals every day!
This can no longer be described simply as a bargain.
It's simply ...... Great value!
In order to allow the construction of the base to proceed smoothly, Ye Bing set the start time of the construction work until after 1 a.m.
At that point in time, everyone should have fallen asleep.
When they wake up, they will see a brand new home!
Thinking of this, Ye Bing's mood was also very excited.
But in addition to his excitement, he knew that he could finally take the next step!
After arranging everything, Ye Bing sat on the command chair, touched his chin and smiled:
"Tomorrow, the whole city will know about the existence of the Doom Base!"
He thought for a while, and suddenly frowned: "However, the name of Doom Base still sounds a little dark, so it's better to just declare it to the outside world and call it ...... Let's go to the New Territories! ”
Thinking of this, Ye Bing smiled again:
"Compatriots who are still suffering in the wind and snow. I hope you wake up tomorrow morning and enjoy the gifts that New Territories City has to offer you! ”
……
That night, 50 miniature reconnaissance planes and four silver-black fighter planes pierced the sky.
They were laden with large bags and small bags, and they traveled from city to city D. Every time you walk through, you will drop a lot of packages like below.
Just like that, going back and forth, nearly a hundred journeys in one night.
The sky is finally bright!
……
City D
Close to a house somewhere in the suburbs.
This is a somewhat old residential area, and judging from the old red paint painted on the walls, it is known that it was built at least in the seventies and eighties of the last century.
Around the house, a wide trench was dug. It is littered with traps and the corpses of zombies killed by the residents. The corpses did not decay due to the fact that the outside temperature was always below freezing, but were frozen hard, and the surface was covered with a light layer of snow.
Inside the trench, a sturdy barbed wire fence was used to prevent zombies from entering the house.
Obviously, this is a simple residential building, and it is also a still inhabited residential house.
And that's exactly what happened.
In this area of several houses in a connected area. Dozens of families still linger and have not left.
Among them, the family formed by Xiaohu and his father is one.
"Ahem, ahem. Ahem......"
As soon as it was dark, Xiaohu was interrupted by a seeping cough beside him. Every cough is like a dilapidated windshield flickering back and forth, which makes people feel extremely uncomfortable.
Xiaohu rubbed his eyes with his dirty hands. He sat up from the cold and hard quilt and stretched out his two hands and gently patted the back of the man next to him. While worried:
"Dad, are you alright?"
The little tiger father gasped for breath and coughed hard, each time as if he was going to cough out his lungs.
This terrible cough lasted for several minutes before finally weakening.
Xiaohu frowned, kicked off the quilt with both feet, and jumped up from the bed with a leap.
Feeling the oncoming cold air, Xiaohu couldn't help but shiver. Shaking his body, he cried out:
"Dad, wait for me to get you water!"
Xiaohu's father looked stunned, and immediately got up and pulled Xiaohu away:
"No, the water has to wait until the evening, ahem!"
As he spoke, he coughed violently again!
Xiaohu felt a little helpless, and froze in place and didn't know what to do.
He was just 16 years old this year, and before the end came, he used to live with his father and mother in a happy family of three.
Xiaohu is studying in a nearby provincial high school, his father is a junior clerk in a public institution, and his mother is a nurse in a hospital. Although the wages of both of them are not high, they are still quite sufficient for self-sufficiency, and every holiday, my father will always take the whole family to travel outside, visit famous mountains and rivers, and visit historical sites. All this was Xiaohu's happiest memory.
However, an unprovoked natural disaster completely destroyed all this.
In one day, countless humans turned into terrifying zombies and became the deadliest enemies of their original compatriots.
At the time of the cataclysm, Xiaohu was staying at home with his father, so he narrowly escaped. But his mother was visiting relatives at his grandmother's house in another city. Afterwards, no matter how Xiaohu and his father called, his mother's mobile phone never came through......
Even so, Xiaohu and his father stubbornly believe that their mother is not dead, but waiting for their rescue in another city.
With all their enthusiasm, they hope to join them through their perseverance and wait for the ZF army to rescue them, devote themselves to the rescue of a nearby city, and at the same time rescue their mother.
It's just that what makes their hearts get colder and colder is that it has been more than two months, but they have never seen the shadow of the army.
The only thing that makes Xiaohu feel fortunate is that the people who live here are old neighbors who have been friends for decades, and everyone has a very harmonious relationship with each other.
However, with the increasing consumption of food and water, coupled with the continuous low temperature, more and more people are contracting severe colds without treatment, which has made the life of residents in this community more and more bleak.
Although no one said it explicitly, Xiaohu knew that many people had actually lost hope in their hearts. He even believes that if one person commits suicide one day, it won't be long before someone commits suicide one after another!
But no matter what others do, Xiaohu's heart is always firm.
Gotta Live!
With my father, live well!
was working in a daze for Xiaohu, Xiaohu's father suddenly pulled his son.
In Xiaohu's inquiring gaze, Xiaohu's father stretched out his hand and pointed out the window with difficulty.
Xiaohu turned his head away in a daze.
There, he saw a bland package, lying quietly on his balcony.
At this moment, he obviously didn't know that it was this prosaic package, in the future, that completely changed his life and that of his father! (To be continued.) )
