Chapter 707: A New Goal
With the completion of the big construction, the people of the Doomsday team are gradually freeing up their hands. ()
"The Ministry of Agriculture has now expanded to 500 people, and they are even trying to produce greenhouses. Although the staple food is not yet fully provided, it has gradually formed a scale, and at least one meal of fresh meat and two catties of vegetables per week can not be done. ”
The Doomsday team has been working hard to develop, and although Li Sisi and the others are trying to catch up, they can't achieve complete self-sufficiency now.
"We have about three months of grain in stock, just enough to catch up with the sweet potatoes and potatoes harvest. As far as the main body is concerned, we don't have to worry about not having enough food for at least half a year, but we need everyone's efforts to maintain the current three meals a day, with fish and vegetables. ”
Xiang Yuning still said with a rare smile, and with her words, the people in the conference room burst into a knowing laugh.
The current Doom team is almost back to pre-apocalyptic levels in terms of diet. In the morning, milk is made with milk powder and biscuits, at noon stir-fry and potatoes are filling, and in the evening it is roasted fish. Even in the old days, this three meals a day was barely enough.
"Everyone's fitness is gradually recovering. The changes in our bodies in the last days, as well as a lot of physical labor, have made us healthier than they were before the end of the world. Chai Lubing also reported with a smile, "Of course, the comrades-in-arms in Xiangcheng still need to make up for it because the time is still a little short." ”
Yu Linrong and they all looked at each other and smiled bitterly, who let them join the team for only a few months, and they can only make up for it slowly. Chen Deyuan and Wu Liguo were frowning on the side, obviously very satisfied with the newly arranged level of food.
With a team of nearly 10,000 people, they can eat fish and meat every day, and potatoes and rice are basically full. Depending on the grade, there are also a variety of meat, cigarettes, and alcohol snacks available. This kind of food ration was not enjoyed even when Xiangcheng was at its peak before.
Leng Yang has the privilege of having priority for pigs, chickens and ducks, and even crabs. But this is all he deserves, compared to the luxury of those high-ranking officials in Xiangcheng before, this is simply not a privilege. As the most powerful new human warrior on the team, he can't be left to eat.
"This recent week has been a great harvest for our comrades at the Admiralty. Not only did it replenish a large amount of oil, but also found hundreds of tons of grain. And now, we're free. Let's think about the direction of the next team development. ”
Leng Yang patted the table, and with his actions, everyone slowly quieted down.
It was once in this conference room that people deliberated and decided on the goal of going out to find their comrades. It was that move that led to the Doomsday Team, which is now becoming more and more powerful. And now it's time for everyone to decide on their next move.
"This ...... is still a bit difficult to get." Many people sighed that today's Doomsday team seems to lack nothing, everything.
"I'll come first, and I'll throw bricks and lead the way, and you are not allowed to laugh." Zhou Lei stood up, as the new captain of the Marine Corps, he had his own ideas.
"Our search near the riverbank was less than 20 kilometers, and we didn't dare to go too deep because we didn't have enough boats to transport it. I suggest that on the one hand, find a ship to repair the ship, but also build a wooden ship. Otherwise, we will never be able to truly use the waterways. ”
Sure enough, the person's head is determined by the position of the buttocks, and Zhou Lei is now opening and closing his mouth to take care of their Admiralty. However, he has a point, compared to a team of nearly 10,000 people, three ships with limited carrying capacity are too few.
"Hey, don't forget, there are still zombies in Jiangcheng, and we will have to fight them sooner or later. I suggest that now that you have free up your hands, you can attack the nearby county town first. On the one hand, obtaining supplies, on the other hand, it can be regarded as weakening the potential strength of the zombie sea in disguise. ”
As a representative of the Army, Sun Jianqiu naturally did not forget to emphasize the true colors of the Continental Army. No matter how good the navy is, it is only a cooperative role, and only the army can finally solve the problem. Because people live on the land all the time.
The backbone of the team stood up one by one to speak, and the secretariat headed by Zhang Limeng was busy recording continuously, and these suggestions will be the direction that the team needs to pay attention to in the future. Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, which is the wisdom of the team.
"I support going out to explore supplies, but you have to come according to the actual situation. The reality we have now is that ammunition is not self-sufficient. I recommend looking for an ammunition depot or an arsenal first! Yan Shibin also began to speak on behalf of the technical department.
"I have food in my hand, and I don't panic in my heart. We need not only food, but also a lot of machinery and building materials. One voice after another rang out in the conference room, making the whole room look like a wet market.
Just as the people kept arguing, a crisp female voice rang out. "Don't forget, we're only in our 10,000s. There are also a lot of children and technical troops in it. We need to explore further afield, looking for supplies and survivors! ”
Everyone stopped their voices and looked at Liu Jingjing, who was pressing the table and talking like a river. "We also need more people, not just exploring around Shibaozhai. We must have the courage to go out of Xiangcheng. ”
"Because most of the people in this world who are still alive are far from living as well as we are. Every night and one day, many of us who can be comrades-in-arms die of hunger! Liu Jingjing said and even raised her little fist high.
Liu Jingjing's words made Leng Yang's eyes light up, and he had been thinking about it for the past few days, as if there was always something he hadn't thought of. And now Leng Yang reacted all of a sudden.
He jerked to his feet and slammed his fist on the table. "That's right, we're still very meagre at the moment. It was so meager that they didn't dare to do anything when they saw the zombie group in Jiangcheng there. We have to recuperate and develop technology, but we also need to find more living people. ”
"Within a year, the grain will not rot, there will be no corrosion from the fog, and there will not be much change in industrial products. But there will be fewer and fewer human beings alive. I don't want to wait until my grandchildren are still playing zombie games. Now we still have to focus on finding people! ”
Seeing that Leng Yang made a decision, people quieted down. If you are looking for someone, you can find someone, and now the Doomsday team is still a little short of attacking the big city, but there is still no problem in two or three hundred kilometers across the country. With his decision, people began to use their brains in this direction.
"If you want to find someone, it is estimated that it will be more difficult near Jiangcheng." Leng Yang himself was born in Jiangcheng, and he was completely lost in the city of zombies, and it was almost impossible for humans to survive. And in the mountains and forests, there was a difficult winter, and thousands of survivors died in large numbers. There aren't many survivors left in the area.
Professor Kwan Mingsi made a suggestion, "We can prepare with both hands now." On the one hand, the search in the vicinity continues. Collect the materials from the outside and store them, and look for people by the way. You can make the formation bigger, anyway, we are not afraid of tens of thousands of zombies. ”
"On the other hand, we can study maps, observe radio signals, and even use the Air Force and Navy to search around the area. Even if we're looking for someone, we'll have to start exploring the surrounding area. The old professor said slowly without hurrying.
Feng Ye was very supportive of this suggestion, "Yes, in fact, we can use the method of scaring the grass and snakes to carry out a wide range of activities to attract the attention of the survivors. It is also possible to destroy nearby zombie hordes. He shrugged and added, "Of course, everyone should be more observant, the snake is too big, we can't move it now." ”
"Hahaha, hahaha." Feng Ye's words made everyone laugh. They can't do it now, but one day they can do it.
While the people in the conference room were discussing, the Shibaozhai outside them was just as vibrant.
The golden sun shone on a radius of dozens of kilometers. On the banks of the flowing Yangtze River, groups of team members are using various fishing gears to catch the gifts of nature. For more than a year, no industrial waste has been discharged into the Yangtze River, and the fish are thriving. People who are gradually adopting scientific fishing methods and continue to stock fish fry will have a long-term meal ticket.
In the former scenic spot of Shibaozhai, you can see the vegetable fields that have been leveled out by people everywhere, and the green plants are rising to the tips of small lotuses. And in some greenhouses and warehouses, there are also a large number of mushrooms growing quietly.
The free-range chicks are followed by a large group of children giggling and learning to take care of their "homework", and not far from them, several wind turbines with white fans are constantly turning their blades in the wind.
On the outskirts of Shibaozhai, a large number of solar photovoltaic panels are shining on the thick warehouse and dormitory buildings, silently converting the solar energy in the sky into electricity. Clean roads, numerous street lights, and the walls will make the entire new base as strong as a fortress.
On the roads that run through the base, there are groups of uniformed people running in unison. And in the square not far from them, more warriors were practicing raising their guns, and in the sun, the figures they had been standing for a long time were still so strong and unmoving.
The cars on the highway drove briskly into the distance, where there were several tall and majestic walls visible to the naked eye. These newly built defenses are encircling the entire new base, defending the human home with their heavy bodies.
And in the sky above this vibrant land of their own, a paramotor with bright colors is constantly hovering in the sky. Under the pilot's control, the tri-colored paramotor is making a wonderful arc in the air, soaring freely along the entire perimeter of the base.
This is the new base of the Doomsday team, a new home built by people from scratch in the last days after a year, a real "food and contention village"!
