Li Yan inspected the mining area and couldn't help but sigh when he saw this situation.

Chang Shu and his gang died, Shen Bai returned, and the crisis at the base was completely resolved.

However, more than 300 people died at once, but the productivity of the mining area was also hit hard.

As the head of the mining area, Li Yan takes stock of the day's income every day and delivers the excavated gold to the soldiers who are responsible for recycling.

These days, he can be regarded as a little experienced. Because of this, he could roughly judge that the amount of gold that could be produced in the mine today was probably less than one-fifth of that of the previous days.

Although this situation was not his fault, and the lack of manpower in the mining area was also caused by those people's self-inflicted efforts and Ida Wang's decisive killing, Li Yan still felt a little ashamed of Shen Bai's trust in him.

Just after Li Yan walked out of the mine with a sad face, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Because in the distance, a group of soldiers were walking towards this side, and as far as the eye could see, there were more than a hundred people.

"What's going on?" Li Yan was a little confused, could it be that there was another mutiny, and these soldiers rushed to suppress it?

He was still in a daze, and the soldiers had already walked up to him.

"The commander ordered us to come and assist in the mining." Looking at Li Yan, a soldier stepped forward and said, "What do we need to do, please instruct." ”

"This ......" Li Yan looked at these soldiers again, only to find that these soldiers did not bring guns, and it seemed that they were really here to help as they said.

Thinking of this, he hurriedly waved his hand: "I don't dare to talk about the instructions, but our mining area is indeed understaffed now, and it is really good to have your help." ”

……

After a while, the originally deserted mine suddenly became lively.

Many of the survivors watched in amazement as the soldiers who came around them picked up various tools and began to work, you look at me, I see you are a little overwhelmed.

Soon, they were stunned to find that these soldiers were really desperate for their work, and they didn't have any strength left to die.

The work of mining in the mine is different from what many people imagine, the miners need to constantly dig out all kinds of useless sand and gravel to find a little gold from it, and some even need to dig a whole car or two of sediment to find the gold mine.

In normal times, three or four miners are responsible for excavating the soil, two people are responsible for pushing carts to carry the excavated sand and gravel, and with the cooperation of five people, it is usually estimated that it takes about two hours to transport a truckload.

However, when these soldiers joined, the efficiency of the mining work skyrocketed.

Li Yan looked at the carts that kept coming in and out of the mine with a bewildered expression, and roughly calculated, this speed was actually about forty percent faster than when they had more than 400 miners before.

"I'm damn, these people are too fierce."

Looking at the soldiers who seemed to be working tirelessly, ordinary survivors couldn't help but feel a sense of self-pity.

It's the same work, why is there such a big gap between people and people?

……

At the end of the day, when Li Yan took stock of the final results, he was shocked to find that with the assistance of more than 100 soldiers today, the income of the mining area was nearly twice as much as before.

"Shen Bai really has a group of good soldiers." Li Yan was shocked, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Soldiers and mercenaries recover quickly, and they often return to work immediately after resting, but no one is lazy, Li Yan is also the first time in so many years to see such a person working hard, and it is not one or two, more than a hundred people are not an exception.

"Thank you very much. Today's harvest in the mining area is very much, and it is almost dark, so let's go back and rest, don't get tired. ”

Just as Li Yan was quite moved to thank these soldiers, his expression was stunned again, because he saw that there was a group of soldiers walking out of the base in the distance, also more than a hundred people.

"It's ......"

"The commander ordered, the situation is special, we are going to mine overnight."

Looking at the more than 100 soldiers, Li Yan was surprised, and suddenly a little confused.

Wait a minute.

The previous more than 100 people, plus the current more than 100 people, the total number of people is almost more than 35.

Shen Bai's troops...... Is there so many of them?

……

Li Yan didn't understand why Shen Bai was so eager to mine for gold, because he didn't know that every time he dug up a little more gold ore, the mining farm would be able to transform into more survival points.

At this time, Shen Bai was completely in a race against time, and what forced him to move forward non-stop like this was the mysterious and intelligent zombie in Penglai City who could control a large number of zombies.

The Zhangjia Gold Mine is less than 40 kilometers away from Laizhou City, which is too close.

Shen Bai must continue to strengthen himself in order to have enough confidence to face the possible battle.

Although at present, the intelligent zombie is still cowering in Laizhou City, without any large-scale movements, but Shen Bai has a hunch that sooner or later there will be a day.

It's just that Shen Bai didn't expect that this day would come so quickly.

At 22:48 that night.

Shen Bai had already changed into pajamas and was about to rest, when Ida Wang's voice suddenly sounded in his consciousness.

"Commander, what's going on in Laizhou City."

Shen Bai's heart jumped suddenly, and his brows immediately furrowed.

"What's the situation?"

……

Penglai City at night is very quiet.

Because the sky is clear during the day and there is hardly any wind, the moon is bright at night, and the silver moonlight is sprinkled on the earth, although it is night, but it is clearly visible.

At some point, swaying figures appeared in the streets, and began to grow more and more, and gradually, the streets and alleys were crowded with figures, these figures moved slowly and stiffly, and if they got closer, they could faintly hear the roar of a beast.

These are all zombies.

Not long ago, because the zombies were hiding in the surrounding buildings, the streets were already very empty in Penglai City, and at this time there were rampant zombies everywhere, like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

These zombies are not like the zombies who are secretly excited at night on weekdays, but as if someone is directing, although the movements are stiff and slow, they walk through the streets and alleys in an orderly manner, and whenever they pass through an area, there are zombies separated from the large team and enter the surrounding buildings.

In the middle of the night, the frightened cries and terrible screams of the survivors can be heard from time to time.

These zombies are actually sweeping the entire city in a carpet manner, killing all the hidden survivors in the city.

……

Late at night, at 22:53, Shen Bai arrived at the command room of the underground base.

Through the consciousness exchange of satellites, Shen Bai at this time already understood what was happening.

The zombies of Penglai City poured out of their nests, and in just two hours, they almost dug three feet into the ground, slaughtering the entire urban area.

By the time the soldiers in charge of guarding the city and monitoring the city were spotted and reported to the satellites, the corpses had already begun to spread outside the city.

"Finally getting moving? Damn it! It's a coincidence that at this time. ”

Shen Bai couldn't help but curse secretly.
