Chapter 57: Thriving

In the early morning fog in the mountains, the entire coal mine was covered like smoke, and the morning fog was very quiet, until the early risers broke the silence.

A beam of the sun's rays shone through the clouds, sweeping away the fog with warmth, and if you look down from the sky, the whole mine is busy.

Wang Xin walked out of the house. Lazily stretching towards the sun, the early morning sun shining on her face made her comfortable eyes and yawn slightly.

Zeng Qiang also walked out with a sleepy face, his face was full of exhaustion, followed by the big yellow dog that accompanied him like a shadow.

The head-sized egg that Xia Wei found three days ago should have been from the giant snake if nothing else, which means that it may be a small snake inside.

Originally, as soon as Wang Xin heard that it was a snake egg, he was so frightened that he asked Xia Wei to take it and throw it away, but Zeng Qiang felt that he didn't want it anyway, it was a pity to throw it away, it was better to make an omelette or something, after all, eating eggs can be regarded as opening meat.

Zeng Qiang's words were unanimously praised by everyone, some said to make fried eggs, some said to scrambled eggs, and some wanted to eat poached eggs..... Just when Xia Wei was about to open the egg, Li Ying disagreed, she took the initiative to find Zeng Qiang, saying that she wanted to keep the egg, as for the reason - Li Ying said that she had raised snakes before, and said that she wanted to hatch this egg to try it.

Since Li Ying wants it, Zeng Qiang will give it to her, and it is just an egg.

"So you said that Li Ying didn't get up because she was going to hatch eggs?" Zeng Qiang was very curious, and imagined in his head the scene of a beautiful woman sitting in the quilt and incubating eggs.

"Brother Qiang, what do you think, the eggs are very particular, do you think you can just put them in the quilt and sit on them?" Wang Xin rolled her eyes.

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not, you need temperature and light, and humidity or something, in short, it's complicated, but I also listened to Sister Ying." Wang Xin herself couldn't say clearly, in short, she was very particular about seeing Li Ying hatching eggs.

When Wang Xin said this, Zeng Qiang had no interest, he was sleepy by the sun, and asked Wang Xin to put a chair, lie on it and start to sleep, Wang Xin herself also moved a chair to lean on Zeng Qiang's side, pillowed her head on Zeng Qiang's lap, her face rubbed twice on Zeng Qiang's leg, and closed her eyes with a comfortable face.

Zeng Qiang enjoyed this rare leisure very much, too many things have happened recently, and every time he has experienced a great test of life and death, his nerves have been in a tense state, making him want to spend a good vacation.

After killing the giant snake that day, he asked people to transfer all the personnel and materials to them, and put them in accommodation, and the materials were classified and stored in a relatively dry mine cave, with special personnel to guard them.

With the food and an arsenal underground, the construction of the base has not yet begun, and Zeng Qiang's idea is to build the entire coal mine and the surrounding mountains into a super turtle shell that can protect against millions of zombies......

The coal mine is very lively, except for Zeng Qiang, the rest are very busy, Xia Wei has become the captain of the self-improvement army, and is selecting braver people from the crowd for training, some people are bold and feel that the treatment and welfare of the self-improvement army is good, and they want to be selected, some people feel that the self-improvement army is dangerous, and pray not to be selected, and there is a commotion for a while;

Luo Bin temporarily managed the logistics, constantly instructing the reservists to move, repair, and tidy up the land;

Zhang Peng is the captain of the team, and there are four people in their team, one of whom is a woman, two people are driving a car to transport various materials, and two people are overhauling the vehicle;

Li Ying was busy incubating eggs......

There was no reluctance on everyone's faces, and nothing was more reassuring to them than plenty of food and a stable environment.

Only Zeng Qiang was still tense at all times, there were nearly 100,000 zombies in Fugui Town, this place was still too close to Fugui Town, if he was found by the zombies and ran over, he had to run away with people again, so he didn't dare to relax too much before the base was built according to his plan.

Fu Xinghan also played his role, found a few old miners in the crowd to probe the coal mine, and from time to time took a ruler to measure something, Zeng Qiang asked him what he was doing, and his answer was to find out what geological weakness in the mine needed to be strengthened, where was suitable for growing grain, and where was suitable for living and repairing houses......

Zeng Qiang waved his hand to let him toss at will, and told him what building materials he needed, just open his mouth, and he was responsible for getting them back.

The men at the base are very diligent in their work, and many of them have eaten enough for the first time after the end of the world, and they have hope for life, so they naturally work very hard.

The women of the base are also very content now, although the current life cannot be compared with the pre-apocalyptic world, but compared with the post-apocalyptic times, it is simply a world of difference.

Now Zeng Qiang is the leader of the base, so that all the women have been greatly respected, and no one dares to beat and bully them arbitrarily. On the contrary, many men want to deliberately please them, and sometimes in order to help a woman they like, several men almost fight.

They don't have to sell themselves anymore, so that they can regain their self-confidence, and they have become Zeng Qiang's most loyal supporters.

Almost everyone in the base will show respect when they see Zeng Qiang, regardless of men and women, young and old, they can move freely, fall in love freely, even carry out the most primitive activities, as long as they do not violate the regulations, no one will care, everyone is very satisfied, with a smile on their faces.

Zeng Qiang opened his eyes and looked at all this, he never felt that he was great, people are selfish, of course he was no exception, if someone wanted to be unfavorable to him and Wang Xin, he would eradicate the threat without scruples.

Unknowingly, he found that he had saved more than a hundred people and became the leader of a faction, but this was not enough, the population was too small, the base was not safe enough, and there were still too many zombies.

He decided to train the self-strengthening army and take out the underground arsenal, he alone can not save many people, cultivate a group of loyal men, with food and guns, as long as you are careful, recover some villages, loot some shops and factories, and get those ownerless things, I believe that the base will slowly grow.

Standing in a different position, the natural idea is different, this is the so-called butt decides the head, at the beginning, Zeng Qiang just wanted to take Wang Xin and the big yellow dog to live well, now he wants to take a group of people to live well, but he still decided to wait for the base to stabilize and take people to the Yongchuan gathering place to see, he still has that glimmer of hope for the country and the government in his heart.

After counting the population and supplies, Luo Bin trotted all the way to Zeng Qiang and said respectfully: "Brother Qiang, I'll report the situation to you." ”

"Hmm~" Zeng Qiang promised in his nose.

"Yesterday...... Yesterday a few died, our population has not changed much, weapons and ammunition ...... There are 27 vehicles of various types that can be driven, but the fuel can only maintain the normal use of two vehicles, and there is a lot of food, which is about 2,000 tons, which is enough for us to eat for a long time......" Luo Bin is relatively wooden, and his statistics are not very detailed, but Zeng Qiang can only understand it now, and before he finds the right person, this Luo Bin can only be used first.

"Alright, you can go down." Zeng Qiang asked Luo Bin to continue to do things.

"It looks like it's time to figure out how to increase the base population." Zeng Qiang thought to himself.
