Volume I, Section 242 Contact
Compared with the almost crazy construction speed of the "No. 1 Hive", the construction of the new Guiyang base can only be regarded as slow.
In Xinnanyang, Su Hao got a total of two sets of core construction components. Among them, the formation of a large base was transported to the southwest and became the basis of the "No. 1 Hive". Another set of medium-sized modules was shipped to Guizhou for installation near the abandoned city of Guiyang.
It's a cover, an indispensable cover.
Su Hao must come up with enough chips to attract attention in order to cover up the fact that "No. 1 Hive" exists.
In addition to the advance convoy carrying important supplies and raw materials, the mid- and late-stage trucks all gathered near the new base. Due to the military department's misjudgment of the situation, Xu Renjie's deliberate delay in air force reconnaissance, coupled with the direction of the refugee group...... All this attracted everyone's attention to the direction of Guiyang.
It's not peacetime, there is no internet, no communication equipment, and even if homeless civilians find out about the "No. 1 Hive" under construction, they will not think to report it to the military. What's more, Lao Song set up a large number of guards on the periphery of the "hive", and immediately imprisoned the displaced people when they found them, and there were a large number of mountains and forests around the base, and it was difficult to find out the problems by relying solely on aerial reconnaissance.
Due to factors such as personnel and the external environment, Su Hao was unable to build the new Guiyang base step by step. According to his orders, Huang He led some of the "worker bees" to arrive at the predetermined location in advance, and based on the existing materials, they first built closed farms and meat processing workshops. If all goes well, in three months' time, the output of cereals and rice will be enough to meet the needs of 50,000 people.
As many as 300,000 refugees have migrated from New Nanyang, and this amount of food is obviously not enough.
In this regard, Su Hao has another set of coping plans.
Viewed from the air, the new Guiyang base is just a messy construction site.
There are no large construction machinery, no city walls, only scattered foundations. The enclosed farm is set up in several large simple mobile houses, and although the area is sufficient, it is not a long-term solution.
The TBM only excavated a few shallow tunnels. Without people and equipment, they can't do anything
As for the surrounding fortifications, there are only a few makeshift sand barriers. It's just that the locations are scattered and the number is not too many, and they can barely control the road, but they can't form a defensive line.
It's not so much a base as a wilderness.
When the first refugees arrived, that's all they saw.
"I need construction workers, both men and women can sign up."
"I need someone who is proficient in mechanical operation and maintenance. You've all seen that there are a lot of cars to drive and a lot of vehicles to maintain. Don't worry, there are so many jobs that everyone can satisfy. β
"If you think you're strong enough, you can sign up with me. This is a reserve training camp, you can get weapons, and you have enough ammunition. Our training is unique, there are no rules, and we go straight to the actual battle. If you perform well, you will receive a booster. β
The Eleventh Independent Force was quickly dispersed into hundreds of units with different functions. Engineering Construction Bureau, Logistics Department, Maintenance Department, Personnel Management System...... With the golden sign of "army" and the infiltration of Du Tianhao and Cao Rui along the way, the differentiation effect of the refugee group has begun to be reflected. The recruitment of personnel in various departments is good, and even those who have no skills can be assigned to work at the construction site of the city wall
All of this is the result of the training of "worker bees" in different specialties as early as the "castle" in Kunming. There is no need for everyone to be proficient, as long as they have their own franchises, under the premise of tacit understanding, the entire Eleventh Independent Army can be broken up or overlapped, and converted according to the actual situation, without causing a waste of personnel and resources.
The recruitment of refugees is simple, it only needs enough food.
The site has produced a water treatment system with enough nearby rivers to sustain hundreds of thousands of people. The day after arriving in New Guiyang, Su Hao ordered the food supply to be stopped, and everyone must report to the relevant departments according to their respective specialties. This means that there will be no more free meals to eat, and food from the army as a salary will be the only source of survival for the refugees.
Since the outbreak of the virus, this kind of harsh behavior in peacetime has become the most desirable life for refugees.
The pace of construction of the base has accelerated suddenlyββββ concrete has begun to be laid on the underground level excavated by the TBM, and the planned houses in the city have been built in batches. In important locations, several tall guard towers were soon erected. With these 24-hour on-duty defense facilities, whether it is a refugee or a soldier, the empty heart is finally filled a lot.
Cement plants and brick kilns have been built. As early as two months ago, the relevant machinery had arrived from the direction of Xinchengdu. At the same time, there was also a considerable amount of food and various necessities of life. As a close confidant, Xu Renjie's support for Su Hao is indeed very large, although it is not public, but if there is no support from the 74th Group Army, Su Hao's new Guiyang construction design will become slow progress, or even no progress at all.
Gao Liquan and Wang Jinlong would lead their troops into the abandoned city every day, set up ambushes on the periphery, and kill a large number of mutant creatures. In addition to collecting hedrons and silver bones, the corpses of mutated creatures are also a resource that can be utilized. They are no longer human, and a large number of foreign genes have made them new life forms on Earth. According to the research results of the future world, most of the mutant organisms are classified as mammals, and the research and use of them has been refined to many aspects of human life. One of the most valuable is edible.
From the first level of evolution onwards, mutated creatures have become one of the food sources for civilians.
Although they are ferocious and hideous, their corpses after killing them are very good carnivorous. Both humanoids and bloody corpses are rich in protein. Although the meat is rough and has a strong fishy smell, it is still delicious when stewed after repeated cleaning and a lot of seasoning.
This is the reason why Su Hao ordered the construction of meat processing plants to be prioritized.
Raising pigs or cattle and sheep on closed farms requires a long cycle. Before the first and second batches of crops are harvested, the food shortage in New Guiyang can only be supplemented by mutated organisms. The task of Gao Liquan, Wang Jinlong and others is to kill as many of them as possible, bring back the corpses, and after washing, remove the skin, hair, bones, internal organs and glands with a large number of bacteria, leaving only the muscles, and remove the virus through high-temperature sterilization. Then, flour, corn, salt and soda are added, crushed and stirred, and finally made into a finished product similar to luncheon meat.
There is no exact record of who was the first to eat mutated creatures. Even in the future world, similar official research was gradually carried out after civilians began to eat mutated creatures on a large scale. In the time and space where Su Hao left, there were already a lot of canned meat produced by the Hao Consortium on the market. The merchant has ingeniously labeled the cans, indicating that the ingredients are some kind of monster, and they also have an official illustrated book...... Among them, canned food made of horse-shaped humanoids is particularly popular. It is said that long-term consumption of horse meat can promote the secretion of male hormones, and the erection time of male genitalia can be doubled, and there will be no fatigue after long-term congestion, and there will be no side effects.
So far, Su Hao's plan has been basically completed, and the income is comparable to the estimate. All that's left is development.
But he knows very well that there are many people who will not let themselves go like this.
The new Guiyang base was the second week after the construction began, and Su Hao welcomed a rather special guest.
Compared with the last time they met at the new Nanyang base, He Liqun has obviously become thinner.
Two modified "Cruze" off-road vehicles with barbed wire fences and steel plates, as well as a truck with food supplies and ammunition. Including He Liqun, there were six people in the entourage, both men and women, who wore the unique logo of the "Red Smoke" group on their chests.
Standing in front of Su Hao, He Liqun obviously didn't want to hide his anger. Instead of being ostentatious, she opted for a black cotton tracksuit. The voluminous, wavy hair is cut short, almost the size of a man's board. With a thick and sturdy belt of arms tied around his waist, he squeezed the fat and fat fiercely, and made a deep groove in the abdomen that was deeply concave to the middle.
The reason why she is called a "guest" is because Su Hao once said that the truck that was requisitioned at the new Nanyang base was only "temporarily borrowed".
Su Hao didn't know what happened to him and Liqun in the recent period. However, judging from the appearance, it is clear that this middle-aged woman is in a bad mental state. Maybe it's because of life, or because of the pressure from other quarters, that she no longer has any fear of herself, only resentment like never before.
Looking at Su Hao standing in front of him, and Liqun's eyes continued to spew raging fire. She clenched her fists tightly, her teeth clenched. Dominated by this intense thinking emotion, the nerves and muscles also reacted violently, so that the two plump breasts trembled for a while, shaking in the chest with an angry wave full of infinite reverie.
ββ¦β¦ Give me back my car, give it back to ββββ."
She almost burst out of her teeth. The tone is strong, the voice is cold, and the gaze is as gloomy as a ghost
There is a saying in peacetime: "Never offend a woman." β
When the future world was in the Academy of Sciences, Su Hao always felt that this was just a boring joke. After the Black Age, in the face of the extremely urgent reality of survival, there is no longer any so-called "gentleman". Due to their physical and physiological superiority, men bear the main pressure of fighting mutated creatures, and women are no longer as highly sought after as they are in peacetime. Especially those women who are not strong and emaciated can only be reduced to the playthings of bars, nightclubs and entertainment venues. Men's vision and criteria for choosing a partner are also constantly changing, and the best goods sold in the underground slave market are either women with big breasts and fat buttocks that are easy to give birth to, or strong and strong with big waists and round waists.
After all, beauties with thin waists and long legs are only in peacetime in accordance with human aesthetics. Once in troubled times, in the face of more urgent survival problems, physiological needs are obviously not as urgent as food, and in peacetime, men's crazy pursuit of beautiful women, even at the expense of suicide, and the practice of saying that it is for "love" can only be regarded as a joke to pass the time.
And Liqun's anger was too strong. So much so that Su Hao could understand it just by looking at it with his eyes.
However, Liqun is not a fortifier. The secret of the enhancement potion is only grasped by the military, and the Hao Consortium racks its brains to get it, but it needs to spend a huge amount of silver bone crystals. Therefore, no matter how angry He Liqun is and how ruthless he is, it is just a superficial article, and it has no effect in front of Su Hao.
Su Hao put away the faint smile on his face, and his gaze became cold: "Pay attention to your words." In front of me, it is better to restrain your momentum. For the sake of your cooperation at the time of the new Nanyang base, I can let you go this time, but there will definitely be no next time. β
As soon as he finished speaking, tears continued to flow from He Liqun's eyes: "What do you know?" You...... You ruined everything for me. You don't understand what kind of punishment I was subjected to. You're ...... at all."
"I've already told you to shut upββββ"
Su Hao picked up his arm, controlled his strength, slapped her unceremoniously, and scolded coldly: "Believe it or not, I'll let people strip you naked and throw you outside?" There are hundreds of thousands of refugees here, and there are more than 100,000 able-bodied men alone. Each of them has their own anger and all want to find a target to vent. They must be happy to have you as a free plaything. If you want to try, I can arrange a special medical team to give you nutritional injections and stimulants every day, repair the damaged tissues in your body regularly, let you open your legs anytime, anywhere, and satisfy the desire of those men to work as human drillers. Don't worry, if you play rotten in the front, you still have an ass, and if you play in the back, you will install a new one. Nowadays, medical technology is developed, and the artificial vagina is only a minor operation, which will not hurt the muscles and bones. β
This sentence was said plainly, but it made everyone present shudder when they heard it.
He Liqun's body trembled slightly. She unconsciously controlled the anger in her eyes, her expression became frightened and cringe, and her legs kept moving back, slowly standing to the side.
Su Hao dusted off his clothes, looked at the frightened people in front of him, and said casually, "Find someone who can talk and come out." Having come so far to come here should not be as simple as sending a woman to complain. β
A man who had just entered middle age and had the temperament of a scholar slowly walked out.
He wore glasses, his face was white, and although his clothes were dusty, they were neatly dressed and did not look disheveled.
Standing in front of Su Hao, the middle-aged man was not afraid. His attitude was very humble, but there was no hint of groveling, with a smile, he stretched out his hand, and said without humility or arrogance: "General Su Hao, please forgive us for our previous presumptuousness." Let me introduce myself, my name is He Zuguang. β
This man has an elegant demeanor and an extraordinary conversation. Although he is an ordinary person, in the face of Su Hao, a brigadier general who has just been promoted, he is not too humble.
The corners of Su Hao's mouth slowly curved, caught the other party's hand, and held it hard.
This ceremonial act has already shown Su Hao's attitude. Naturally, the smile on Zuguang's face became more and more enthusiastic.
The guards brought over a few chairs, and the people sat down separately.
"It's a brand new base and a lot of things are not yet in the driver's seat. As you can see, it's a mess out there, and a lot of things need to be arranged and planned. Twenty-four hours a day, I was so busy that I barely had time to sleep. β
Su Hao's seemingly useless sigh of emotion, sat up straight, and stared at He Zuguang with a blazing gaze: "Here, there's no need to hide it, tell me about your intentions, right?" β
He Zuguang obviously belongs to the kind of people who often negotiate and have excellent eloquence. Seeing that Su Hao did not continue to pursue He Liqun's previous actions, his hanging heart slowly let go. In order to cater to Su Hao, he omitted politeness and compliments, and did not talk about opening remarks such as "friendship", and went directly to the core of the problem.
"General Su, we are not enemies."
He Zuguang first set the tone of the identities of both parties, and then cut to the main line: "Your series of actions in Xinnanyang have hurt the interests of the "Hongyan" group. As the Protectorate, we absolutely support any action of the military in biological warfare, and we are also resolutely obedient to any wartime orders. However, there is a basic premise for all thisββββ since you accepted our remuneration at that time, you should be compensated to some extent. This is the most basic principle of contract, if it is violated...... I'm afraid it's going to be hard for anyone to deal with you anymore. β
For everything that happened in the new Nanyang base city, the upper echelons of the "Red Smoke" group were outraged. Because of Su Hao's forcible requisition of transport vehicles, a large number of machinery and goods were stranded in the city. One of the most critical, and most valuable, parts are the tobacco leaves that have been cleaned and boxed.
"We lost five million blue coins worth of goods."
He Zuguang looked at Su Hao seriously: "Tobacco is a consumable, and its value now far exceeds that of food. We operate more than 40 percent of the military's tobacco supply. You should be clear about this. β
This is soft and hard, with a faint threat connotation, but it is not so direct.
Su Hao took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it. He brought the cigarette case close to his eyes and carefully studied the "red smoke" sign on the package.
"The construction of the new Guiyang base has just begun, and the new Nanyang has been occupied by mutant creatures, so I didn't bring out too many supplies. Now, I need food, lots of food. β
Su Hao's words were not answered, but He Zuguang obviously did not mean to investigate. Still smiling: "Can you give me a specific number?" β
"200,000 tons of food, no kind. Rice, wheat, canned food, fat, synthetic food, or dehydrated vegetables are all fine. β
Su Hao's voice is unique, full of male charm and calmness: "There is also a time limit. For a month and a half, half of the required amount must be delivered. The remaining part is delayed by 20 days without delay.
