Zhang Xiaoqiang took Shangguan Qiaoyun and walked slowly along the lakeside, there are some women resting on the edge of the lake, and many people are crowded under the street lamp with some tattered clothes in sewing and mending, the street lamp is a hundred-watt incandescent lamp hanging by Zhang Xiaoqiang on the side of the path, these women were arranged by Zhang Xiaoqiang to live in the villa area, but their room will not have electricity at night, these women consciously take the work that has not been done during the day and continue to do it under the street lamp, Only those women who are quick to complete their tasks early will enjoy the scenery by the lake.

There are a lot of women in the base, the two little sisters who followed the honest man in the original chicken farm, He Wenbin's two women and the others have more than a dozen, and twenty-eight intact ones were rescued in the hot spring hall, five and a half dead, and thirty-seven were found in the gathering place at the foot of the mountain, plus the three sons brought back scatteredly, not counting the nearly 100 women found today, there are nearly 300 men, in order to maintain the stability and continuity of the base, Zhang Xiaoqiang let all the women live in the villa area, in addition to going out to work everywhere, Women are generally not allowed to go to the men's pile at night, for fear that those energetic men will make something happen, but the men of those combat groups can go here to talk to women and be courteous, and other men can only be idlers and exempt from entering, which is also a helpless thing, the ratio of men and women is very uneven, almost to the point of three to one, Zhang Xiaoqiang can only be careful.

When Zhang Xiaoqiang walked to the valley, he saw hundreds of big men densely surrounded by the open space in front of the five-story small building, and a few strong lights illuminated the door as if it were day, Lu Renyi stood in the middle of the open space, and there was a row of long tables in front of him, on which all kinds of materials like a hill were piled up, tobacco and alcohol, snacks, towels, teacups, toothpaste and toothbrushes, shampoo and soap, and some newer clothes and shoes. A big man walked out of the crowd and came to him, they had different looks, some were looking at Lu Renyi proudly, some were staring at Lu Renyi in a daze, waiting for him to announce his reward, some people may not have been in the limelight, they stood in front of them and dodged a little, dodging the burning eyes of the crowd behind them, some people didn't care about others or encouraged or jealous eyes, they were looking at their position in the team, calculating how many turns it would take before they would be their turn, and some people didn't care about everything, they behaved very calmly, I just kept my eyes on the various materials in front of me, thinking in my heart that I could get those things to get cheaper.

Lu Renyi began to give prizes to these hard-working people, Zhang Xiaoqiang crossed the crowd into the door of the small building and went down the stairs to the conference room on the third floor, and the prizes for those who worked actively were proposed by Zhang Huai'an, just like the model workers in the first ten years, the outstanding employees of the enterprise after 2000, there are not many things, and the enthusiasm of the workers may be raised, so that they can work harder with more peace of mind.

After Zhang Xiaoqiang entered the conference room, He Wenbin, Lian Chengren, and Zhang Huai'an were already sitting at the conference table waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang, Wang Le, the fat cook, and Wang Chong were sitting on the chairs on the side, and there was another person in the darkest corner, he hid his whole body in the shadows, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that it was Guo Fei, it was usually difficult to see him, usually he would drink Sanzi and go out together, Sanzi complained to Zhang Xiaoqiang more than once, that guy was a madman, and when he saw a zombie, he pounced on it and cut it with a knife, making it difficult for the combat team to shoot, He didn't use the gun he was given, and it seemed that his carbine hadn't fired a single bullet yet?

Zhang Xiaoqiang walked to the main seat and sat down, Shangguan Qiaoyun also sat down on the chair on the side and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang quietly, Zhang Xiaoqiang knew that Shangguan Qiaoyun looked at him again, he was also used to Shangguan Qiaoyun's gaze, he didn't care anymore, it was a little impossible to say that he was one step closer to her, who let his weakest side be shown by her, which was not allowed for Zhang Xiaoqiang, who took machismo as his creed.

The honest man was the first to speak, and now the top priority of the base is the construction of the wall, he first reported the progress of today's project, and made a detailed plan for the next work plan, looking at the honest man holding a thick pile of A3 white paper in his hand, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt that his butt was a little itchy, not only Zhang Xiaoqiang, except for Guo Fei and Shangguan Qiaoyun in the corner, all the people were a little restless.

When the honest man began to talk about the progress of the drainage ditch, Zhang Xiaoqiang finally couldn't help but interrupt the honest man's words:

"Honest man, I know you as a person, no matter what the task is, you never complain of hardship or tiredness, you are just silently carrying forward that what? Old scalpers? Oh, yes, it's the spirit of the old scalper, I'm the most at ease with you, I don't just ask about the construction of the wall, I can trust you, you don't want to do everything yourself, what do those senior engineers do? Didn't I say you, you're also a leader now, huh? You just have to keep an eye down there, eh...... In general, it's just a sentence, I don't have to worry about you doing things......"

Zhang Xiaoqiang's praise for the honest man made the honest man dizzy, he looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang's face full of excitement, there is a kind of tragedy of the death of a confidant, now Zhang Xiaoqiang asked him to jump from the third floor, he may just open the curtain and jump down like this, looking at the excited appearance of the honest man seems to have something to say, Zhang Xiaoqiang looked at Zhang Huai'an and gave a look.

Who is Zhang Huai'an? He saw Zhang Xiaoqiang's eyes and hurriedly began to report to Zhang Xiaoqiang about the personnel accepted today, today he accepted one hundred and twelve people, of which sixty-three are men, and the rest are women, the oldest man is 37 years old, the youngest is fifteen years old, and the woman is not over forty years old, these people are the same as those captured by Zhang Xiaoqiang before, they are all mixed by the construction workers on the construction site and the local civilians, these women are a female worker in a small food processing factory, and they were trapped in the factory after the outbreak of the virus, Until they were rescued by the workers who came here to find food, because there were enough women, those men were not very rare of them, every time the men ate and left food to the women, if they didn't find much, the women could only starve, and the women of the last days did not have much creative value except for these men to vent, so these women were so half-starved and half-full, until the third son took someone to find the man who went out to find food, and followed Shun Teng to get these women back.

"Zhang Tou, now there are nearly five hundred people in the base, some of them can't live in the valley, and so many other people consume a lot of food every day, although the third son can get some back every day, it is also beyond his means, there is food in the valley, but no one can say what it will be like in the future, do you think let the third son not bring people back in the future? If you want to bring only women back, to be honest, women are really less......"

Zhang Huai'an kept talking about the current personnel consumption, he is now He Wenbin's assistant, and he also knows some of the situation in the valley base, although he doesn't know the actual number of arms and the amount of grain stored, but watching hundreds of people continue to consume bags of rice, he also began to worry, he was afraid that Zhang Xiaoqiang's soft-hearted heart would bring back those scattered people and bring back the valley base.

Zhang Xiaoqiang thought for a while and shook his head, he looked at Zhang Huai'an and He Wenbin and said: "If you can't live in the valley, you can live in the mountain, and if you can't live in the mountain, you will ask honest people to hollow out the mountain, and if the food is not enough, we will go out to find out and find it, and now we will send people if we don't have bad food, and when the outer wall is repaired, we can grow grain and vegetables outside, and when we have the opportunity to find livestock, we will also engage in breeding......"

Zhang Xiaoqiang dealt with Zhang Huai'an's worries and looked at the third son and said: "The third son still has to look for it outside, one counts as one, the members of the combat team are still too few, the thirty temporary sappers last time were very good, tomorrow they will be given equipment and guns, the bullets are the same as before, they must be in their own hands, and the other ......"

Zhang Xiaoqiang turned his head to look at Wang Le, Wang Le stood up and said: "Now we have built fifty long knives, all of which are made of automobile spring steel plates, fifty thin steel plate composite shields, rifle bullets cannot penetrate within fifty meters, and we have only copied less than thirty of Brother Cockroach's sniper crossbows, the key is that the materials are not good, but more than 1,700 crossbow arrows have been made." ”

Zhang Xiaoqiang nodded, and continued to explain to the third son: "Your team members must learn to use cold weapons, and in some places you can't alarm the corpses, just use cold weapons to solve those scattered zombies, and pay attention to protecting your own vitality, killing a person now is a huge loss......"

The third son nodded again and again, and after instructing the third son, Zhang Xiaoqiang was also a little thirsty, he picked up the teacup prepared for him in front of him and drank water, but saw that the fat cook was a little uneasy, so he nodded to the cook.
