Of course, this is only a relative advantage compared to other places in the city. In reality, it is still covered with ice and snow, and no grass grows.
After a while, the intercom on Zhao Xian rang, and the patrol soldiers who had entered the building to start checking also reported their respective situations to Zhao Xian.
"Captain, we have successfully entered Building 1 and are searching it. There are no abnormalities so far."
"Captain, we have successfully entered Building 2. We have found signs of habitation and are conducting an in-depth investigation."
"team leader……"
Zhao Xian responded one by one.
Qiao Xuejun looked at her wrist. Zhao Xian was communicating on the walkie-talkie with one hand and holding her wrist with the other, as if he was afraid that she would get lost by accident.
Qiao Xuejun glanced twice and then looked up, observing the surrounding situation.
Zhao Xian finished speaking, put the walkie-talkie back, and continued walking forward holding Qiao Xuejun.
Ren Wangwang at the back said, "Captain, there are indeed conditions for living together here."
The relatively flat and wide ice sheet, with so many buildings, must have abundant resources. There is also a financial center building in the middle that is responsible for transactions.
There is such a thick layer of ice here. Usually people living on the ice field can directly use the ice to boil water, which is also very convenient, without having to look for a special water source.
Ren Wangwang said: "I don't know how many people are left in the city. If we can bring more people back this time, Zhao Yun's work will be easier."
Zhao Yun is responsible for the defense construction of the base, just like the stone wall. Although it has been completed, it still requires people for daily maintenance.
There are also patrol booths and iron nets to repair. Each position requires a lot of people, and the base currently does not have enough people. The work in each production room is very intense.
Qiao Xuejun's greenhouse project had a special permit and was built on an expedited basis, otherwise he would have to wait in line with the carpenters and tailors for at least two months.
The further they walked in, the closer the buildings became, with each building being about 10 meters apart.
The field of vision also narrows.
Half an hour later, they arrived near the financial building as planned. This was the tallest and largest building on the entire ice island.
What is different from other buildings is that the windows on the first and second floors above the water in this building are sealed tightly with wooden boards, iron plates, etc., as if this is done intentionally to prevent anyone from entering.
They walked around the building and found that there was only one window that was not sealed with boards. Instead, it was replaced by a small door with a lock on it.
Someone is needed to open the door before entering.
Ren Wangwang: "Captain, is the lock broken?"
Zhao Xian: "No, wait a minute."
They walked quietly all the way and there was nothing unusual on the road.
With five hours left, they found the salvage team searching for supplies in a nearby building, joined them, and collected supplies together.
"Just like the TV station building, there are even fewer supplies here. All the wooden planks and furniture have been looted. Only some hard stuff that cannot be moved is left, which is a good deal for us." The salvage team members in the building concluded.
Zhao Xian's walkie-talkie was constantly receiving reports from other patrol teams, so the situation was relatively peaceful and safe.
Qiao Xuejun also heard the report from Huo Antu. They walked along the outer layer of the ice field, looking for traces of mutants. It was said that the harvest was quite good, as mutants kept appearing.
Huo Antu's tone was quite excited: "Don't worry, Lord, everything is going well! The brothers in the patrol team are very efficient! I also extracted several sets of very useful samples!"
As the investigation deepened, patrol teams discovered several shelters for residents hidden in surrounding buildings.
But Zhao Xian ordered: "Don't alarm the survivors around, wait for the market to open first."
…
12 o'clock.
The sky began to turn slightly white.
The market was about to open. Qiao Xuejun and the others were hiding in the building and had heard some movement outside.
Zhao Xian picked up the intercom: "All units gather towards the central market and prepare for battle."
"yes!"
Zhao Xian stood in front of the window of the building, staring outside. This position had a good view and could see the entrance of the Central Financial Building.
Soon, people gathered at the entrance, waiting for the door to open.
The sky gradually brightened.
Zhao Xian frowned.
The survivors who came to wait for the deal arrived early. They arrived earlier than the so-called whale gang. This was not a good thing for the patrol team's strike deployment, as it was easy to hurt normal survivors.
There were more people than they had imagined. In a short while, forty or fifty people gathered at the market entrance waiting for it to open.
"Report to the captain, the second team is in place."
"Report to the captain, group three is in place."
“…”
The patrol teams gathered together and hid in different buildings. They were already in position around the financial center building, able to achieve full fire coverage.
The people from the Whale Gang haven't arrived yet, but more and more people are coming. They are all standing in front of the entrance of the financial center, crowded together, carrying bags on their backs.
Originally, according to the plan, since the Whale Gang was going to open the door, they would naturally come early. When they came to open the door, they would just shoot and suppress them.
But it's not easy to shoot now.
Seeing more and more people coming, Zhao Xian picked up the radio again: "Attention all units, the plan has changed. For the sake of the safety of the people, give up direct suppression and stay on standby."
Zhao Xian put away the intercom and told Qiao Xuejun: "I'll go down and find out the situation first."
Qiao Xuejun was about to agree when she saw Shen Xingtang and others heading towards the financial center building.
Why are they coming this way?
She frowned: "I'll go with you."
Zhao Xian didn't hesitate: "Okay."
He didn't take his machine gun, but walked down holding Qiao Xuejun's hand.
Qiao Xuejun was a little surprised by how quickly Zhao Xian agreed: "Why are you..."
Zhao Xian knew what she was going to ask: "Now that I'm here, it's better to put you under my nose than to put you in the hands of others."
“More reassuring.”
They went downstairs and walked directly towards the entrance of the financial center building.
The survivors were huddled together chatting.
Zhao Xian didn't bring the conspicuous machine gun, just a military uniform and a helmet, which was not special or unusual.
"I have something here, does anyone want it?" Someone in the crowd asked stealthily, "It's unique, definitely a good thing!"
Someone responded: "What is it?"
When someone answered, the man got even more excited: "If I tell you, you will definitely be scared to death!"
The man was a man with untidy beard, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket and a gray woolen hat. He looked to be in his thirties or forties.
