0645 Foothold
is getting closer and closer to the destination, to be honest, including Xiao Chu, everyone's mood is nervous and excited.
Xiao Chu still has some understanding of the current situation of his destination, Haiphong City, he went to Haiphong City once a year ago, just for the Dawn Light that he is riding now, and the Dawn Light was just a fishing boat at that time.
At that time, Haiphong City was already full of zombies, but now a year has passed, but I don't know if it is still the same as before. Xiao Chu was most worried about whether there would be mutant zombies, especially unknown types of mutant zombies, after all, it had been a year, and Xiao Chu did not dare to guarantee that the corpses in Haiphong City would still remain the same.
In fact, with Xiao Chu's current team, it is difficult for ordinary zombies to pose a threat to them now, and the werewolf team alone is enough to be independent, if you add him and Kaya, who are transformed people, they are fully capable of completely cleansing all the zombies in a city. However, neither Xiao Chu nor Kaya like that kind of behavior that is close to slaughter, after all, zombies used to be living people, they are not psychopathic killers, and they can't find any pleasure in the act of slaughtering zombies. So Xiao Chu's current idea is to find a place without zombies to build a base, and try not to attract the attention of the corpses in the city.
At noon, a bustling harbor city finally appeared in everyone's eyes, and the Dawn Light had crossed the Beibu Gulf and finally arrived at Haiphong City, the destination of the trip, which also indicated that the voyage of more than half a month could finally come to an end.
Lying by the window of the bridge, Xiao Chu asked Zheng Xun who was at the helm: "Lao Zheng, where should we land, do you have any good suggestions?" ”
Zheng Xun was originally Vietnamese, and now he has naturally become Xiao Chu's free guide, he pondered carefully for a long time, and then said: "It stands to reason that we had better settle down in the port near the sea and establish a base, so that when Eden lands, it can be directly connected to Eden, and there is an industrial area near the port near the sea, and many things should be available for us to use." But the seaside ports, though large, are too far from the city center to allow us to find supplies. So I suggested that we could settle down on the river dock near the center of the city, although the river channel was not wide enough for the Eden floating island to enter, but when Eden landed, we could use this base as an outpost to correspond to the Eden floating island, and include the entire city in the rear into the base area. ”
Serra asked, puzzled, "Didn't you say that all the cities have become ruined?" So what else do we want to do with this ruined city? ”
Xiao Chu replied to Zheng Xun: "Although it is true that it is a ruined city, the buildings in this ruined city can still be used, and there are still a lot of ready-made infrastructure that can be used, if we can clean up the zombies in the city, it is estimated that those facilities can still be used." Listening to his words, it seemed that he agreed with Zheng Xun's suggestion.
Zheng Xun also nodded, Xiao Chu said exactly what he thought, and then said: "There are many factories in Haiphong City, if the situation is good, we can slowly expand the base to the whole city, and then control these factories, so that we can produce many of the products we need, and these factories happen to be close to those docks." Another point is that I heard that the Fourth Reich was starting to develop its power on the sea, and if we were too close to the sea, we would be easily detected, and if the Nazis attacked from the sea, we would not have any barriers......"
Listening to Zheng Xun's analysis, Xiao Chu couldn't stop nodding, it seemed that it was good to have a local anywhere, so Xiao Chu took out the map of Haiphong City and searched carefully, and finally discussed with Zheng Xun and decided to settle on the Banmen River in the north of Haiphong City.
This forbidden gate river was originally a tributary of the Red River, and the entire city of Haiphong was built on this river, and the area that Xiao Chu fancied was still some distance from the mouth of the sea, and it was difficult for even the Nazis to find it from the sea. Another point is that this Forbidden Gate River is the river where Xiao Chu found the cargo ship loaded with a ship of destroyers, Xiao Chu wants to see if the ship is still there, if it is still there, it can basically mean that since Xiao Chu left Vietnam, this place has not been visited by Nazis again, and it is safe.
The goal was determined, Zheng Xun, who had been at the helm, adjusted the direction of the voyage, and the Dawnlight sailed straight towards the mouth of the Forbidden Gate River.
Gradually, the outline of the city became clearer and clearer, and Xiao Chu, Ka Ya and others came to the roof platform to look. The whole city seems very quiet, without the hustle and bustle of people, without the crowds of vehicles and the ships constantly entering and leaving the port, as if it were a still frame, as if time has stood still.
It wasn't until the Dawnlight sailed into the mouth of the Forbidden Gate River that the entire city was finally fully revealed to everyone. Although Haiphong is not as prosperous as Kowloon City, it is also a unique scenery, compared to Kowloon City, which is too modern, it really looks like a traditional seaport city.
It's just a pity that a city without people seems to have no blood and no soul, and everywhere is lifeless, with the occasional bird flying through the sky, and the picture that should be beautiful looks particularly bleak.
Kaya, Sierra and the others lost their initial excitement and fell silent like Xiao Chu. In fact, since they left Aryan City and came to the earthly world, this is the second time they have seen a larger city, the previous trip to Siberia, Xiao Chu deliberately avoided the big city along the way, and the town where Rutseff was stationed was actually only equivalent to the size of a small town in Aryan City, so they were still very excited to come to a big city, but now they couldn't be happy to see such a lifeless city.
The Light of Dawn finally completely entered the Forbidden Gate River, going upriver along the river, and the scenery on the shore passed in front of him like a marquee, vaguely seeing a few zombies in the city, but did not see any corpses, it is estimated that it is because it is daytime now, Xiao Chu knows that once it is night, this place will completely become a different look.
Because of Zheng Xun's analysis and suggestion before, it became extremely important to dock at that wharf, Xiao Chu carefully observed the wharves on the shore along the way, and silently wrote down the pattern of each wharf in his heart, so as to find out the most conducive to building a base and the most favorable position for defense in the terrain.
Finally, Xiao Chu found an ideal location at the intersection of the Banmen River and a tributary of the Red River. The pier is actually located on the outskirts of Hai Phong City, directly in front of a deserted neighborhood with many small buildings of three or four floors, which looks as if it was once a residential area and was specially reserved for people who worked at the pier. To the left and right of the docks are abandoned factories, and further to the left, in the distance in the direction from which the Dawnlight came, is a field of farmland, which is now abandoned.
In Xiao Chu's opinion, this is an ideal location, close to the city but not too deep into the city, close to the farmland, and may use the abandoned factories nearby in the future, and most importantly, the terrain is very conducive to defense. The buildings surrounding the pier could be walled together to form a ready-made enclosed encirclement, which was perfect as the initial prototype of a base.
"Good! This is it! Xiao Chu clapped his hands: "Everyone is ready to land!" ”
At the sound of an order, all the people of the entire ship immediately became busy, and Xiao Chu hurriedly returned to his room to change into the uniform of Eden, and the first thing he did when he landed was to completely clean up the dock and clear all the dangers hidden in the dark, which was a task for Xiao Chu to personally lead the team. And the others began to be busy sorting out weapons and equipment, counting goods and other work, this time the Dawn Light brought a lot of materials, most of which are food and weapons and equipment, but to maintain life is not only food, but also a large number of daily necessities, so a lot of things still need Xiao Chu to find by himself, Eden is not able to provide.
This is also one of the reasons why Xiao Chu chose this wharf, because this is also a cargo wharf, and there are a lot of various goods piled up on the wharf, if you are lucky, you may be able to find something useful. Even if you can't find anything useful, you can look for it in the block in front of the pier, or even in the abandoned factories nearby.
In short, whether or not you can find something useful, you have to search the surrounding area thoroughly.
This time, in Xiao Chu's team, in addition to Zheng Xun, Lin Xin, Wolf, Kaya, Serra, these core members, there are also the werewolf team led by William and the members of the second and third teams of the Eden Armed Forces led by Wolf and Zheng Xun respectively, each group is about 100 people, and there are more than 200 ordinary team members together, counting William's werewolf team and Xiao Chu and others, the total number is close to 300 people.
Although at first glance there are a lot of people, these three hundred people are only enough to maintain the normal operation of the Dawnlight, and it is certainly not enough to maintain a base, especially in terms of the defensive ability of the base. Therefore, Xiao Chu's most scarce resource this time is human resources, and he must do his best to maintain the constant number of personnel in order to make the base develop benignly.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find some survivors, after all, in such a big city, there must be some people who have been hiding in the shadows and struggling to survive, this was the case in Kowloon City, the same is true here, and the same is certainly true in other cities around the world.
Therefore, the problem of manpower can be ignored for the time being, and it is not too late to think about it when the base is really built and gradually expanded.
The weapons and equipment brought this time are sufficient, more than enough to arm this team of three hundred people, plus the Dawn Light originally carried a complete set of ammunition production lines, as long as there are raw materials, it can ensure that there are no worries about ammunition, and the powerful fire suppression may not be able to deal with mutant zombies, but it is still enough to deal with ordinary corpses.
Ten minutes later, the Dawnlight finally anchored and anchored on this dock, and Xiao Chu had already prepared his team, and he was going to lead the members of the werewolf team and Wolf and Zheng Xun's team to go ashore first and thoroughly clean the dock.
When Xiao Chu's feet set foot on the land of Vietnam again, a burst of excitement suddenly surged in his heart for no reason, as if a wanderer who had been away from home for many years had finally returned to his hometown. turned his head to look at Zheng Xun, but saw that Zheng Xun was also full of excitement.
