Chapter 41: The Southern Zombie Tide

As the preliminary work of the new base project continues to advance, the end of the world also enters October, and the weather seems to have cooled down all of a sudden.

Chen Jiu asked Liu Shuman curiously: "Why do I think that the weather is cooling so quickly." ”

Liu Shuman smiled, as if he didn't realize how strange her question was, and said slowly: "After the end of the world, the climate is unpredictable, and there have been many extreme weather. This year is pretty good, but if it really comes to winter, it will definitely be cold, and there are not enough items to protect against the cold, so it will be difficult to get through. ”

Chen Jiu listened, and suddenly remembered that before killing Boss Lei a while ago, the other party came to her on the grounds that she needed supplies in the cold winter.

At that time, it was just a polite refusal, and I didn't think about it carefully, but now it seems that I really have to make a little preparation.

However, if you want to buy supplies from this world, it will cost you a lot of money without mentioning it, and it will be troublesome to request a budget.

After dealing with Baili Yu so many times, she has completely figured out the bottom line of the other party, and it is absolutely impossible to export materials in large quantities.

In that case, there is no other way to think about it.

Before Chen Jiu could think of a specific plan, another big event happened in the base.

The zombie tide broke out in the south, and hundreds of survivors fled to the Nanxing base.

As the recognized "number one", Chen Jiu was forced to take over this hot potato.

"Are you going to expand the base?" A tall male survivor questioned the patrol members on duty.

The team members looked at the crowd, the firearms in their hands were guarded, and their expressions were serious: "I won't answer any questions until our principal comes." ”

Survivors are confused: Principal? They call the "number one" the director here? It's quite chic.

By the time Chen Jiu hurriedly arrived, these fleeing people had already set up camp on the spot and rested in twos and threes.

Without exception, they are tired, emaciated, and depressed.

As soon as the team members saw her, they immediately came over and said with some pride: "Principal, they are the southern zombie tide who fled from the disaster, I am afraid that someone has bad intentions, so I didn't put any of them in." ”

Chen Jiu nodded appreciatively and gave him a "you are very responsible" look.

The team grinned, pointed to the man who had just accosted him and shouted, "You, we're here." ”

The man was burly, with an ordinary appearance, and his eyes were exceptionally bright, looking at Chen Jiu and asking with some suspicion, "You are the person in charge of the base?" ”

Before Chen Jiu could speak, the team members on the side were suddenly displeased and reprimanded: "What is your attitude?" ”

The man's face changed for a moment, perhaps because he saw that the situation was stronger than others, and he forced out a smile: "I'm sorry, I was offended just now." My name is Li Feng, I came from the Anseong base, and there was a zombie tide in our place, and everyone finally escaped here to repair for a while. ”

They don't want to stay for a long time, after all, Nanxing also belongs to the south, and after seeing the tragedy of the zombie tide, these people just want to move north.

Chen Jiu nodded, and said in a faint voice: "After checking the body and confirming that there are no traces of zombie scratches and bites, you can go in." ”

As is customary, she said: "Each person pays two bags of instant noodles or equivalent supplies, and you need to pay another fee for accommodation." ”

As a large base, this requirement is actually not high, and it is a low standard fee that can only be obtained by official bases.

But when Li Feng heard this, he was immediately embarrassed: "We had a hard time escaping, the food we carried with us had already been eaten, and we rushed here all the way when we were hungry, and we really couldn't hand over anything." ”

After hearing this, the team members looked ugly, and subconsciously looked at Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu was not happy in her heart, she didn't covet this thing, but the rules couldn't be broken, if she just let people in today, what if other people wanted to prostitute for nothing tomorrow?

But with so many lives, you can't really turn a blind eye.

She thought for a while and said to Li Feng: "The base can accept you temporarily, but you must pay off your debts with work." ”

"Paying debts with work?"

Chen Jiu explained: "As you can see, a new base is being built here, and labor is needed. You can help clear the road, lay the foundation, etc., and the specific work will be arranged by Captain Jiang. ”

"New ...... A new base? "If Li Feng can still remain calm when he hears that he is working to pay off his debts, then the matter of the new base is enough to break his composure.

After all, the Nanxing base is still very solid and suitable for living in terms of appearance.

Chen Jiu briefly introduced the project of the new base, telling them that they can get three meals for work, but they must also be deducted from their salaries.

For Chen Jiu, this is a matter of course, but for Li Feng, this is simply pie in the sky.

Who would have thought that the Nanxing base would be so strong and developed so well.

After hearing this, Chen Jiu was stunned for a moment and said: "Nanxing has long been not an official base, and after the death of the predecessor, the destruction of the signal tower has not been repaired, so the news has not been transmitted. Since the previous term, it has been a private base. ”

Li Feng was only surprised when he heard the news, after all, for him, it didn't matter what base he had, it was real to be able to fill his stomach and sleep peacefully.

At this time, he just wanted to repair as soon as possible and set off for the north before winter completely came.

As for really understanding the significance of the new base, after eating food that has not spoiled, this group of people consciously became base people, and they can't get rid of it.

The fleeing survivors are like an intermittent episode, and a group of them come every now and then.

In just half a month, Chen Jiu received more than 300 people.

Fortunately, a lot of food was brought back from Liangjia Town, otherwise it would be a big problem to eat with so many mouths.

However, despite this, the experimental field project cannot wait until the base is built to start, otherwise it will have to run out of food at any time.

You must know that there are nearly 10,000 people in the Nanxing base, and some of these people are already relying on Chen Jiu to eat.

She currently has more than 20,000 catties of old grain, not counting the money she spends to buy, and she consumes about 500 catties on average every day, which is expected to last for more than a month.

After all, there is also the expenditure on recycled materials.

If it really doesn't work, we will have to use the export budget for the second half of the year.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but be anxious, and unconsciously walked to the site where the materials were collected.

Fang Youcai saw her sad face, and stepped forward with a smile: "Big leader, what are you worried about?" ”

Chen Jiu looked at the old house and asked sincerely: "Brother Fang, do you see if there is a possibility to reclaim the field area first and plant grain." ”

The smile on Fang Youcai's face froze, and he complained: "Don't be funny, this is the end of the world, and the nearest field area is also ten kilometers away from here, even if you send someone to watch it day and night, it won't work." ”

Chen Jiu sighed, and said weakly: "What should I do, brother." ”

Fang Youcai saw that she was worried, asked carefully, and after listening to Chen Jiu talk about his worries, he said with a smile: "I said why are you just staring at the new base, isn't there a test field here?" ”

Chen Jiu suddenly woke up and patted his head: "That's right! How did I forget about this? ”

She said to Fang Youcai, went back and pulled Liu Shuman, and went to the test field.

The old man in charge of guarding the door was still wearing an old shirt that had been washed white today, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the visitor: "Doctor Liu? ”
