Walking to the lakeside, he saw 20 women dressed in military uniforms practicing their aim, the instructors were the two policewomen, they had followed Zhang Xiaoqiang around to fight, they originally had some small knots in their hearts, the police officers and civil servants had now become cannon fodder.
After Three returned, he became more confident, he brought a few dozen men to search for supplies and survivors, gathering places with more than a hundred people were not easy to find, but small gathering places with a few people and a few dozen people were easy to find. Zhang Xiaoqiang's base now had around a thousand people, 40% of them were women, the ratio of men to women had reached a balance.
Recruiting these women to fight was an important matter that Zhang Xiaoqiang had set, in order to choose the qualified soldiers, He Wen Bin had racked his brains, in the end, he used the method that Zhang Xiaoqiang had taught Yuan Yi, giving each of them a shield and a blade, and catching some zombies with broken legs for them to kill. In the end, out of the 30 women recruited, 20 were qualified.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, I noticed that something is wrong with the zombies …."
Zhang Xiaoqiang walked in front of her, but she did not move at all.
Three originally did not pay much attention to it, but when he went to the nearby county to search, he discovered that the outskirts of the county were filled with zombies, these zombies were like beans that had been splattered everywhere, Three saw that something was wrong and came back to report to Zhang Xiaoqiang.
"Brother Cockroach …." Three's voice interrupted Zhang Xiao Qiang's recollection. Zhang Xiao Qiang turned to look at Three who was running over, and behind him, there was a huge 15m tall wall that was starting to take shape.
Old Frank hurriedly nodded his head, he knew that Zhang Xiaoqiang was a man of his words, when the time comes for his subordinates to be punished, he would also lose face.
"Chen Ye, in the future, you will focus on practicing your blade techniques and close combat, it will be a waste for you to practice with a rifle."
"Now we need to speed up the construction of the outer wall, Old Frank …." Following Zhang Xiaoqiang's call, Old Frank stood up and looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang with a burning gaze.
On the way to the meeting room, Zhang Xiao Qiang's mood was exceptionally heavy, the thing he was worried about had finally happened. All along, Zhang Xiao Qiang had a sense of urgency, this feeling made him very uncomfortable, especially now that he had some strength in his hands. This sense of urgency did not diminish, but instead became more and more intense. It must be known that a fully prepared combat team with sufficient ammunition could deal with thousands of zombies at once.
Zhang Xiao Qiang walked as he watched the female members train. Suddenly, he saw a female member dressed in military uniform with her face covered. She had a head full of short hair, and was holding a Type 53 rifle in her hands, aiming at the target in front of her.
Obviously, Zhang Xiaoqiang's kind intentions were ignored by this woman called Chen Ye, Zhang Xiaoqiang turned around and left, he no longer cared about the life or death of this Agility-based Neo Human, other than Yang Ke-er, there was not a single Neo Human that was normal.
The only one who was afraid was Chef, when he heard that zombies were roaming around, he could not sit still, it seemed like he was frightened by the zombies when he was escaping.
After Zhang Xiaoqiang brought a few hundred people to empty the factory, the manufacturing capabilities of the base had greatly increased, as long as they could find some special materials, Zhang Xiaoqiang could even reassemble high explosive bullets.
In the past few days of exploration, Three noticed the changes in the zombies, the zombies that were originally guarding the base had started to disperse, it was not just one or two, but all the zombies had started to disperse, only a few elders that had turned into zombies remained in their original positions.
Wang Le did not seem to care, now that the factory was bigger, there were more things to do, he was busy from dawn to dusk every day, he was probably thinking about his work for the next few days. By the way, Director Ma was his assistant, and it was his own request. Although Wang Le did not like Director Ma, he was still someone he was familiar with, and it was rare to meet someone familiar in the apocalypse.
Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart tightened, but his face did not change, he looked at Three and said: "The base's alert has been raised to Level Two, the search outside will be temporarily canceled, increase the manpower to clear out everything that can move within a 20km radius, send people to all the nearby towns to investigate, and also inform He Wen Bin and the rest for a meeting."
Looking at the 20 newly recruited female members, Zhang Xiaoqiang felt a little better, the combat team had too few members, and needed to be replenished, but the construction of the outer wall was of utmost importance, and for the time being, he could not recruit strong and robust men. Thinking about the assistant machine gunner who was dedicated to his duties at night, Zhang Xiaoqiang decided to recruit some women first.
"Eh … Honest man, I don't need you to report for today, I want to talk about a matter that concerns the life and death of the base."
"Split all the workers into 2 shifts, work during the day and night, don't save on diesel anymore, I want speed … speed, you have to think of a way to increase the speed, place your engineers at the construction site, let them guard the construction site, tell them, if they finish quickly, they will be rewarded, whoever slows down will be fed to the zombies."
But as time passed, they became Zhang Xiaoqiang's staunchest supporters, Three continued to bring back women who had been tortured, to let them see the truest side of the apocalypse, in the apocalypse, there were very few powers that could treat women well, to the point that it was almost non-existent. They were also women, how could they not know that Zhang Xiaoqiang's rules were a form of protection for women?
The familiar main building, the familiar staircase, the familiar meeting room, everyone was still waiting for Zhang Xiaoqiang. Zhang Xiaoqiang pulled out a chair and sat down, he looked around, all the people in charge of the base were there, Guo Fei was not there, after the meeting, he had not attended another one.
Following that, Zhang Xiaoqiang asked Three to explain the changes to the zombies, following Three's explanation, the expressions of everyone in the room started to change, He Wen Bin's face became gloomy, Old Frank kept flipping through his own work records, estimating the progress of the construction, to see if they could complete the outer wall before any accidents happened.
From time to time, there would be women pushing small carts towards the outer wall, on the carts were boiling hot water, steaming hot rice, pickled vegetables and dried meat, it was the workers' lunch.
The group of people were like ants working on the scaffolding, the towering cranes continuously hoisted all sorts of cement slurry and concrete onto the scaffolding. At the foot of the two hills, there were already two permanent structures, and two Type-92 Infantry Cannons were deployed within.
Zhang Xiaoqiang was about to speak, when he saw Old Frank taking out a thick stack of paper from his bag, it seemed like Old Frank was preparing a routine report, it was rare for him to write down his daily work after work.
The dried meat was naturally found in the Union's warehouse, seeing the smiles on the faces of the women, Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart became heavier, he did not know if he could not deal with the dangerous situation, his small base would not be able to exist.
