: Section 173 Military Base

The boat traveled for a whole morning and quickly moved into the lake where the military base was located. Speaking of a lake, it is actually a man-made reservoir called Moon Paozi, but this reservoir has a large area and there are many lake islands inside, which is very suitable for the army to build camps here. Among them, the command center of the military base is located on an island in the center of the lake, but the islands in the center of the lake are filled with officers and their families, and ordinary survivors live in a river bend, which is where Li Yuanhong is going.
The terrain of the river bend is a bit similar to a peninsula. The entrance to the base is very small. There is a wall about 15 meters high to keep the zombies out. The area in the gathering area is not large, only less than 20 square kilometers. However, nearly 200,000 people lived. Later, due to hunger, many people went out to search for food and never returned. In addition, the last time the zombies came, many people went up to defend the city, and they were scratched by the zombies. He was also put to death. In the end, there were only more than 100,000 people left in the camp, and these people were crowded within the area of ​​less than two square kilometers.
This river bend used to be a wasteland. Now most people live in tents. Li Yuanhong didn’t know how these people survived the winter. When Li Yuanhong looked far away from the boat, he saw many people fishing by the river, or Some people are digging weeds around. It is summer, and many wild vegetables can satisfy their hunger, but even so, most of the survivors on the shore are yellow-faced and thin-faced and lack energy to speak of.
The ship arrived ashore soon. This is not the first time this cargo ship has come. Everyone knows that this cargo ship belongs to Du Sanniang. People at the base call her "Lady Huo" because when she first came to do business, there was a The couldn't open his eyes and wanted to take advantage of Du Sanniang, but Du Sanniang threw a fireball. Although the was not burned to death, it was burnt miserably. If it weren't for Du Sanniang's scruples that the base does not allow murder, this It's probably dead. There is an unwritten rule in the camp that the people who activate the powers are all big shots, they are the targets of the army, and they must not be messed with. Therefore, no one dares to mess with Du Sanniang anymore, and Du Sanniang wears hot clothes. , Is also a fire attribute ability, so the base gave Du Sanniang an elegant name "Fire Lady".
As the boat drew ashore, Du Sanniang took Li Yuanhong off the bow. At this time, Li Yuanhong also took off his armor and wore a base-made casual clothes, ordinary body and jeans, which was not very attractive, but Li Yuanhong brought one of his own The temperament, under closer inspection, can still attract the attention of many girls, especially those female soldiers, every time they come into contact with Li Yuanhong, they keep discharging Li Yuanhong, and Li Yuanhong has no choice but to ignore it. However, Du Sanniang warned Li Yuanhong many times: "You have to be worthy of my white girl, you are not allowed to hook up outside, and you are not allowed to scowl at those little hooves!"
Every time he was taught by Du Sanniang, Li Yuanhong felt a sense of powerlessness, but couldn't refute it, so he had to listen with a dark face.
As soon as the boat drew ashore, a gang of people rushed in. These people were dressed in shabby clothes, but they were not very strong, but they were much stronger than those who walked around. These people came around, one leader. So he stood up and shouted at Du Sanniang: "Boss Du, do you still use manual transport today?"
Du Sanniang showed a professional smile on her face and said, "Use it, and there are more things this time!"
The man who took the lead immediately shouted excitedly to the people behind him: "Everyone quickly line up and move things in order, otherwise things will be broken, and today's work will be done for nothing!"
As this person's voice landed, the people who had just surrounded them all lined up peacefully, waiting for assignments.
After a while, the female soldiers in charge of cargo management stepped off the ship and arranged for these people to start carrying supplies on board.
Li Yuanhong looked at all this and asked, "Did these people work here before?"
"Why? If it wasn't for me to open this trade, this group of people might not be starving somewhere. The leader, who was a senior manager of a trading company before, had several opportunities to meet in the provincial capital. It’s still a duty. There are not many people who can keep their duty in the business district. Later, I ran into him here. It happened that I needed manpower to carry materials, so I asked him to help. I didn’t expect this kid to win over some people. It’s also considered that this kid has the foresight to take care of my transportation."
"Before you came to the military base, what did the people here do? Did no one organize them?"
"It used to be there. It was the fence there." Du Sanniang pointed to the fifteen-meter-high fence and said: "The fence was built by the military to supervise it. Almost all the survivors in the camp were used. It was built in less than a month. The wall was originally built, but there were no transport machines or cement mixers. They were all pushed manually with trolleys and bricks were built up. However, the army provided it to the workers. Food, so it’s reasonable. After the wall was built, there was basically no life. As you can see, the area is so big. The survivors almost filled it up. There was no place to build farmland and factories, so , There is no life. However, I heard that there are many handicraft workshops in this camp that can produce some good things. Many of the weapons that survivors go out to get are produced by these workshops." Du Sanniang popularized Li Yuanhong's knowledge.
The two of them walked forward. After passing through a crowded tent area, they came to a place with regular houses. These houses were built later. They were all tubular buildings with six stories high. There were people in front of each building. Guards, obviously the people living in these buildings are not ordinary people.
Li Yuanhong asked, "Who are the people living in these buildings?"
"These people, before the end of the world, are regarded as some of the enterprise bosses in the province. After the end of the world, these people came to the camp with a lot of supplies, negotiated with the army, and exchanged some of their supplies for this piece of land. The houses here are theirs. I built it myself. No one knows what’s in it. However, there must be production equipment here. If there is a job in the base, I can only find these guys. However, the army camp has limited electricity and they have to produce it. Things can’t be mass-produced either. After all, fuel has to be exchanged at the Daqing base, where the asking price is very high."
"Then what do they produce?" Li Yuanhong is more concerned about this. After all, many people here are their own competitors in the future. Although Li Yuanhong is not afraid, he must have systematic help. Many materials are produced at low cost, but he is afraid that some people secretly Disturbance, so Li Yuanhong pays special attention to these people.
"They, they produce all kinds of miscellaneous things. For example, the house on the far south left is where Fatty Hu lives. He used to be in the medicinal material business. Unexpectedly, he didn't know where to get a set of pharmaceutical equipment. It produces some commonly used drugs, such as antibiotics, and trauma drugs. Although the effect is not as good as before the end of the world, at least people can survive. Moreover, almost ordinary people cannot afford his drugs. Only the army and various forces can purchase them. Opposite him is Jiang Siyan. This man wears glasses, gentle, but thief-like. He produces all kinds of canned food, canned fruits, canned fish and so on."
Speaking of this, Li Yuanhong interrupted: "He can produce canned food? Where does his raw material come from?"
"Oh, his raw materials are very fascinating. Some people say that he knows the location of a fruit forest. His fruits come from that fruit forest, but no one has discovered how he brought the fruit from the fruit forest in, and the army has also sent them in. People have secretly investigated him, but have not found the location of the fruit forest. As for the fish, this is a large reservoir in itself, and there are not many fish. If there are not fish monsters in the river, people here don’t have to worry about starving at all.
Du San Mother sighed.
"It seems that the big guys here are not simple!"
"That is, these people are more or less related to the military, and most of them are produced for the military, and the ordinary people hardly use their products. What the ordinary people can use is produced in the workshop. Things, such as the knife on the back of the man over there, were made by a handcrafted workshop.
Du Sanniang pointed to a strong man walking in front of him. The strong man was over 1.8 meters tall, with a sturdy back and a sturdy face. Stubble, he was wearing a linen sweatshirt, sweatpants, and sneakers on his feet. Although the clothes were a little damaged, he was obviously a person who had never starved. Behind this man was carrying a big knife. The special feature of this big knife was that the back of the knife was inlaid with five copper rings. The big knife was heavier than the average big knife. Obviously, this person was not weak, and this knife was obviously not inferior. When Li Yuanhong saw the knife, he seduced his curiosity.
