In the blink of an eye, winter came, a wisp of white frost hung on the branches of the cypress trees, and the cold wind blew the people of the entire base shivering, and many people shrank in the house and did not dare to come out.

After half a month of construction, the base has changed greatly, and there are three checkpoints on the way up the mountain, each of which is guarded by reserve members, who are individually equipped with guns, and the only bullets are given to them.

The gate leading to the base was stacked by Fu Xinghan with ready-made stones in the mountains into a two-meter-five-high, two-meter-thick stone gate, and the gaps between the stones were all compacted with clay.

Only one truck is allowed to pass through in the middle of the stone gate, usually it is sealed with a frame made of a dozen half-meter-thick logs that are sharpened, and the shelf is removed when the car passes, there is a platform on both sides of the stone gate, the platform is piled up with dozens of sacks full of sand and gravel, and the sack can also be thrown in the middle in case of emergency, and the exit is completely blocked.

The original small building in the base became a dormitory for Zeng Qiang, the women and the children, and the men built a wooden house next to the small building.

The weeds next to the creek were pulled out, the land was leveled, and nearly half an acre of land cultivated by the industrious people was planted with food.

Some of the dry and shallow caves are all piled up with supplies, and the hot springs underground have become a good place for people to bathe in winter.

Looking at the cold appearance of the people, Zeng Qiang had already asked his self-improvement army to take out the cotton military uniform from the underground mine arsenal at this moment.

More than a dozen big men of the self-improvement army moved the uniforms and firearms in the arsenal like ants moving, Xia Wei sighed while moving, he didn't know how Zeng Qiang found so many munitions, although these munitions were old, but they all looked well maintained, just making up for the shortcomings of the base's lack of firepower.

Looking at a large pile of military uniforms and firearms, the crowd gradually gathered around, giving out all kinds of cheers, people's faces were full of joy, Zeng Qiang was always able to give them what they needed most.

Everyone knew what it meant to have this batch of cotton clothes in winter, and what it meant to have so many weapons, everyone was very happy, but Wang Xin lost his temper.

Just now, she and Li Ying were soaking in the hot spring in the underground cave, and suddenly several men broke in and startled them, and these men also took out so many things under her nose, making her feel that her treasure was divided by someone.

Wang Xin complained to Zeng Qiang with a sad face: "Husband, this is all our family's things? Why do you take it out? ”

Zeng Qiang looked at Wang Xin a little funny, patted her shoulder and comforted: "Yes, but now I am the leader of the base, so these things are also from the base, you think, they will not be frozen to death if they have cotton clothes, and if they have guns, they don't have to be afraid of zombies, and we can get more supplies." ”

Zeng Qiang said a bit seriously, his heart is by no means so many people guarding a small base, he has more far-reaching ambitions.

"Got it." Wang Xin pouted and drew small circles on Zeng Qiang's chest with his hands.

Zeng Qiang asked Xia Wei to divide the military uniforms, even women and children, and the children could not wear them, so they were wrapped around their bodies as quilts, and then let the Ziqiang army each receive a gun, manage the bullets in a unified manner, and distribute them during training and combat, and seal the remaining materials for Luo Bin to send people to guard them.

Zeng Qiang searched the nearby mountains in the past half a month, cleaned up the scattered zombies around, and then led people to advance the safety zone around the base by five kilometers, not letting go of any zombies, and not letting go of any place where zombies might appear.

With training instead of training and actual combat practice, there are currently 13 qualified people in the self-improvement army, and each of them has become an expert in killing zombies with a pair of odds.

Then Zeng Qiang led people to sneak into Fugui Town, and raided a construction company, two pharmacies, and more than a dozen grocery stores on the edge of the town, and got back all the things that could be used.

Even Zeng Qiang helped the women in the base get back a lot of sanitary napkins, which made those women all chant Zeng Qiang's name, and even a few bold ones secretly sent Qiu Bo to Zeng Qiang.

There are currently 8 children under the age of 15 in the base, for these children Zeng Qiang also got back a lot of books and learning utensils, although it is now the end of the world, but the basic knowledge should still be learned and mastered, and they are required to study for at least four hours a day, to catch the doll is to seize the future, this truth Zeng Qiang still understands.

Zeng Qiang's attention to the children has made the hearts of the people in the base more cohesive, with such a forward-looking leader, will it be worse to follow him?

Zeng Qiang himself is from the countryside and has a serious small-scale peasant mentality, a little more guns, a little more accumulation, no matter whether it is useful or not, as long as it can be used before the end of the world, Zeng Qiang will be pulled back, and let Luo Bin, who is in charge of logistics, store it in different categories, and pile up several mines that were originally very deep, enough for more than 100 of them to use for a long time.

But it's not enough, there is always a sense of urgency in Zeng Qiang's heart, these things will soon become less and less with the passage of time in the last days, and they can't be used, after all, there is no one to produce anymore, and many technologies will be lost, and human civilization, the accumulation of thousands of years of civilization will slowly dissipate.

Now Zeng Qiang set off with the team again, he sat bored in the back seat of a seven-seater van, this is a simple modified car, the front and rear of the body are added anti-collision beams, both sides of the body are also fixed by steel bars, the windows and roof are also reinforced and fixed, the car's engine has been changed to a high-horsepower turbocharge, making the car run full of power.

At this moment, the big yellow dog was lying next to Zeng Qiang and sticking out his tongue, Wang Xin was sitting in the co-pilot excitedly, and a cheerful 'seaweed dance' was playing in the car stereo, with a rhythm in his mouth, Zhang Peng was driving, followed by two large trucks, and more than a dozen self-improvement soldiers were sitting in the car body in full armor.

This time, their goal is very clear, there is a gas station nearby, and they are going to the gas station to get the refined oil inside.

Li Ying hatches eggs at the base.

The rest of the people continue to work in the base, the current coal mine is a large construction site, Fu Xinghan is in accordance with Zeng Qiang's requirements to choose a site to build an oil storage tank and build a mine, Zeng Qiang plans to rely on the mine and the underground cave to build a large underground warehouse and underground base, peacetime to store materials, wartime can hide underground.

At the same time, Zeng Qiang also asked to build another gate behind the stone gate, and used the stone gate as an urn city, with a double layer of insurance, he was at ease, and then Zeng Qiang was also asked to build some hidden forts on the mountains on both sides for guarding.

Fu Xinghan was very busy, the corners of his mouth had a series of bubbles, his eyes were full of bloodshots, he hadn't slept well for a week, the base was not manpowered, there were more than 100 people in total, regardless of men, women and children, in addition to guards, he also had to construct, plus he was not a professional construction and designer, many times the things he built did not meet Zeng Qiang's requirements at all, and he had to start over.

"You guys, hurry up and push these truckloads of coal, the brick-burning stove will be extinguished if there is no coal." Although he is very busy, Fu Xinghan has an unprecedented enrichment, Zeng Qiang attaches great importance to him, as long as it is the materials he proposes, Zeng Qiang can always find a way to meet them, and the only requirement for him is to build the base well.

He joined later, and his current position is second only to a few important people, so he is content and full of energy now.

"Hey~, what about you, why are you lazy, hurry up and let those women move quickly and get all the soil out of the mine."

"I told you to support the mine, in case of collapse, we will all be buried alive."
