Time is very tight. During this period, Qiao Xuejun has heard that a large mutant has arrived nearby, but he doesn't know where it has gone. In short, it has not attacked their area yet.
During this period, Qiao Xuejun started planting flowers with the fifty people assigned to her by Zhao Xian.
Start planting from Hongmei Mountain. Plant at the highest point along the coastline that will not be flooded.
Zhao Xian’s plan should be to build some targeted defensive fortifications under the purple flower belt.
So the purple flowers were not planted from the bottom.
Zhao Xian also wanted to build a stone wall, and a high-voltage iron net with electricity. It can protect against people and mutant creatures. It is a multi-layered defense.
However, this will definitely require a lot of supplies, and I don’t know where Zhao Xian will get these supplies.
Above Hongmei Mountain near the coastline, in the snowy night, several people were pushing a cart filled with bright purple flowers that had already been divided.
Fifty people all took the engineer shovels allocated by the First Base and began to dig holes on the snowy mountainside.
The surface layer of the mountain is ice, snow and frozen soil, which need to be dug away shovel by shovel, leaving a 30 to 50 centimeter hole and inserting the roots of the purple flower into the ground.
"Teacher Qiao, can these flowers resist mutant creatures?" asked a person following Qiao Xuejun. It was Jin Yiyu. Because of her professional skill in planting flowers, she was also assigned to plant flowers together.
The movements are quite agile.
Qiao Xuejun: "Yes, you can."
Wearing gloves, Jin Yiyun inserted the purple flowers into the dug pit and used an engineer shovel to add soil: "So, the flowers we plant now will be the wall that protects us in the future."
Qiao Xuejun: "Yes. You can say that."
The two people's voices were not small, and everyone around heard them.
The people Zhao Xian had chosen for Qiao Xuejun were carefully selected, and almost all of them had relevant experience. Qiao Xuejun didn't have to put in much effort. He just gave them a brief explanation and they all understood.
If you don’t understand, just do it twice and you will understand.
"Teacher Qiao!"
When Qiao Xuejun was digging a hole, she heard someone calling her. She looked up and saw Zhao Yun above.
Zhao Yun also brought a team of people with him, and it seemed that there were more people than the one she brought here.
He was also pushing a cart, which was piled with stones, sand, mud, steel bars, and iron mesh.
Zhao Yun walked up to Qiao Xuejun in two steps and said, "Teacher Qiao, we are here to build electric fences and stone walls."
Qiao Xuejun looked at the materials, most of which were rocks. "Is this mined in the mountains?"
Zhao Yun nodded: "It's really hard."
Soon Zhao Yun brought people to start working above them, and began to dig the foundation with great effort.
From this point of view, the purple flower should be the first layer of protection. The second layer is the electric fence, and inside it is the stone wall.
I don't know if there are any other protective layers further inside.
Wild plants, next to the wall, are not too conspicuous, but they are poisonous if touched. They should be effective against mutants that are not wary of purple flowers. However, the effect may decrease over time, and we still have to rely on the power grid.
The protective effect is limited, but it is definitely better than doing nothing. With fortifications, there will be a buffer in case of accidents.
After working all morning, they planted about 800 meters, with great results. They stopped for lunch, took out their military rations and started eating.
Zhao Yun and his group had a large group of people, so they used some wooden racks to support the iron racks and built a mesh frame.
I also followed Qiao Xuejun and the others to rest and eat.
Zhao Yun walked around to Qiao Xuejun's side and sat down next to the tree stump. "Teacher Qiao, how long will it take you to finish this project?"
Qiao Xuejun looked at today's speed. He had covered about 800 meters in 4 hours. For 10,000 meters, that should take eight or nine days.
Qiao Xuejun answered optimistically: "About ten days or so. How about you?"
Zhao Yun: "I have more people, so I need to hurry, but I still have a wall to repair. It's been half a month."
Qiao Xuejun: "Do we have enough resources to build a wall around the mountain?"
Zhao Yun: “No.” He spread his hands, “So for now, the power grid will only be repaired on the main mountain side.”
Qiao Xuejun nodded.
That is, her Qingli Mountain and the Yapao Mountain behind it are not protected by power grids, only Hongmei Mountain has one.
Qiao Xuejun: "What about the stone wall?"
Zhao Yun: "Those barren mountains are all stone. There is no shortage of stone materials. These three can be built."
Qiao Xuejun swallowed a mouthful of dry military rations: "Where is the lord? He didn't come with you." Zhao Xian should attach great importance to such a big project and should come to keep an eye on it.
Zhao Yun: "No, he received a rescue message and went to save people."
Now, we can actually receive calls for help from human survivors who are being chased by large mutants over the radio.
After they had a rest after dinner, Uncle Zhang brought them some drinking water, two buckets of water, one for normal drinking and one for sweet water to replenish their energy. Qiao Xuejun thanked Uncle Zhang, took the lead in picking up the shovel, and continued to work.
At the end of the day, we planted two kilometers of crops. We also had dry food for dinner.
The next day, Zhao Yun also came. As before, they squatted together to eat and rest at noon, and Uncle Zhang came to bring water.
Zhao Yun started chatting: "Didn't my brother lead people out for rescue yesterday? He brought back fifty survivors to the base. They were chased like dogs by the giant octopus. It was so pitiful."
Qiao Xuejun knew a little about this. Although Zhao Xian's rescue operation was successful, the soldiers of the rescue team were also injured. Wang Juanfeng was called out to the first base yesterday to help deal with the injuries.
"Everyone was starving, with nothing to eat or drink, covered in dirt. I gave them potato soup to help them out, and they were all so moved that they cried. They were all crying."
