The fire started to die down in the evening, but the temperature was still high, to the point that no one could get close. Even those standing a hundred meters away could not help but take a few steps back.
Lu Xiao Bu had received a new mission, and brought two off-road vehicles out to scout. Zhang Xiaoqiang did not dare guarantee that the Z-Type had brought all of its forces over, but if there were a few tens of thousands of them, then it would be a huge problem.
Zhang Xiaoqiang, who was standing on the watchtower, looked at the Eight Trigrams Formation that was emitting black smoke, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart. Now that the huge rock that was pressing down on the base had been taken care of, even if there was a new zombie horde, there was no need to be afraid. The large groups of zombies in the few counties had been incinerated, and the hot spring base had enough time to build the outer wall.
"Zhang Xiaoqiang, don't you think you're ready to reclaim the county?
Also, should we send some people to J-City to take a look? "
After the zombie horde was dealt with, the first thing that came to He Wen Bin's mind was the resources that were waiting to rot in the county. At the same time, he could not forget about J-City. A city was a city, even if it was a small Prefectural City, the resources within were enough for the thousands of people in the base to use for a lifetime.
"Don't panic, we need to scout first, especially J-City. We don't need to send anyone over, there are still hundreds of thousands of zombies there, if they swarm over, I don't have the confidence to wipe them all out."
He Wen Bin nodded his head, he understood Zhang Xiaoqiang's meaning, the most important thing now was not to go out and snatch resources, but to build the outer wall first. Once their base was in an invincible position, they could think of other things.
Zhang Xiaoqiang took one last look at the Eight Trigrams Formation, then turned to go downstairs, and as he walked, he instructed He Wen Bin:
"Leave the Eight Trigrams Formation outside. Build another outer wall behind the Eight Trigrams Formation. Build some houses behind the outer wall as the base's dormitories. When the time comes, move the base's population outside. The hot spring base will be our granary and logistics. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter the valley. We have to make sure that no unrelated people know about our background."
He Wen Bin followed behind Zhang Xiaoqiang and kept nodding his head in agreement. Zhang Xiaoqiang gradually explained the development plans of the base to He Wen Bin. Halfway through, He Wen Bin felt something was wrong. He looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang and said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang?
What are you doing? "
"Hmm, I think it's time to go to WH City …"
When He Wen Bin heard this, he became anxious. He looked at Zhang Xiaoqiang and said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, you can't let go at this time. You have to know that the thousands of us are counting on you to survive."
Zhang Xiaoqiang heard this and laughed, "It's not that serious. You just have to follow my instructions step by step. Moreover, you've been doing well for so long. As long as you follow your current plan, there won't be any problems."
Speaking up to here, Zhang Xiaoqiang paused and turned to look at He Wen Bin and said, "If there really is someone who wants to cause trouble?
Then … kill … without … mercy. No matter who it is, no matter how many people participate. It doesn't matter if they know or not. "
Seeing Zhang Xiaoqiang's murderous eyes, He Wen Bin swallowed his saliva and said, "Zhang Xiaoqiang, didn't you always say that population is the greatest resource?"
"That depends on when. Why do I want to go to WH City?
Isn't it because I want to understand the situation outside? I want to see if there's anyone who can think of a way to deal with the zombies. "
Speaking up to here, Zhang Xiaoqiang couldn't help but turn back to look at the sky covered in black smoke and said, "Previously, we used a fifth of our ammunition to kill tens of thousands of zombies in the neighboring county. Now, we've used everything we have to kill hundreds of thousands of zombies. But do you know how many zombies there are in J City?
At least 3 million right?
How many zombies are there in the entire HB province?
More than 50 million right?
How many zombies are there in China?
Definitely more than 1 billion. "
Speaking up to here, Zhang Xiaoqiang was at a loss, as he walked down the stairs with heavy steps. He Wen Bin didn't say anything and just followed behind him, all the way down to the exit.
Zhang Xiaoqiang turned back to He Wen Bin and said, "Don't think too much about it, at least for now, there aren't more than a million zombies around us. The Z-Types that had the ability to gather more than a million zombies are mostly dead. Furthermore, the Z-Types have their own territories, so there won't be a large zombie wave for the time being. Remember, I'm talking about the time being. We have to do our best to fix the outer wall, the Bagua Formation can only be reinforced and not destroyed. The second outer wall is as tall as it can be, if it can reach 30 meters, then it'll be 30 meters, if it can reach 40 meters, then it'll be 40 meters."
Hearing Zhang Xiaoqiang's words, He Wen Bin couldn't help but laugh bitterly and said, "The wall is fine, but if we don't destroy the Bagua Formation, we won't even be able to get out.
Furthermore, where will we put the door? "
He Wen Bin's words made Zhang Xiaoqiang gloomy, he kept thinking about how strong the Bagua Formation was and how he was a turtle. If he wasn't careful, wouldn't he be trapped in a tortoise's shell?
Zhang Xiaoqiang didn't want to admit that he had lost so much face, so he looked at He Wen Bin seriously and said, "You have the nerve to ask this question?
You can't even think of something so simple?
Did you study history for nothing?
Didn't our ancestors think of it a long time ago?
Why don't you think about it again? "
After speaking, Zhang Xiaoqiang quickly walked away. Right now, he had to start making arrangements for going to WH City, and there was no harm in making more preparations.
After walking for a short distance, He Wen Bin chased up to Zhang Xiaoqiang and said, "Haha, Zhang Xiaoqiang, you're really something, I didn't even think of such a simple method. I have nothing to say, this method is good, with this method, what's the use of the door?
At that time, our base will be impregnable! "
"Very good, the fact that you can think of this method proves that you're a qualified manager. Just follow this method, I believe in you."
Zhang Xiaoqiang said seriously to He Wen Bin. After speaking, he patted He Wen Bin's shoulder and turned to walk back into the valley.
Zhang Xiaoqiang thought hard as he walked: "Fuck, what method is this?
Why can't I think of it no matter what? "
The civilians who had been imprisoned for a day walked out of their rooms and came to the construction site at the entrance of the valley. On the construction site, they looked up at the thick black smoke that covered their heads like the clouds before a storm, and the grey bone dust that fell beside them. They couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The arduous defense of the base was finally over. Two weeks of tension and tiredness had caused Zhang Xiaoqiang's nerves to be stretched to the limit. Now that he could finally relax, a strong sense of tiredness assaulted him. This tiredness was not only physical, but also mental. The life and death of thousands of people was pressing down on Zhang Xiaoqiang's heart, making him feel suffocated.
Zhang Xiaoqiang wanted to go to WH City, other than to understand the situation outside and the situation of other people, it was more of a form of escape. He had never been an official, nor had he been a leader. When he was in charge of the life and death of thousands of people, he did not enjoy the pleasure of holding power alone. On the contrary, he felt a heavy responsibility.
