Huaxi Valley Base.
Seven days have passed since Jiang Wu led his team to the grain purchasing and sales center.
Bai Feiming stood on a section of the already constructed cement wall, staring blankly in the direction Jiang Wu had left.
Having not seen Jiang Wu for so many days, her longing for him had reached its peak.
A woman in love always wants to be inseparable from her partner.
Even though she had been used to being independent since childhood, and even though she had once looked down on the men who pursued her.
But at this moment, she was just a little woman who longed for Jiang Wu to come back quickly.
Nangong Wenyao and Ning Guohua walked up the stairs to the wall.
"Sister Bai, after discussion, we plan to build six more 10-meter-high guard towers along the existing wall and nearby. Also, we're running low on cement for the wall; it will only last for four more days. We need to find more cement..."
Nangong Wenyao's voice was slow and gentle.
It sounds like a gentle breeze.
Bai Feiming smiled and said, "Go ahead with your plan. I trust you. I will consider the cement issue."
Then, Bai Feiming glanced at Ning Guohua and, seeing his hesitant expression, said calmly, "Vice Minister Ning, just say what you want to say."
Ning Guohua gritted his teeth and said seriously, "Ms. Bai, currently, excluding field team members, the base has 872 people. There are 464 women over 18 years old and 331 men over 18 years old. Among these men, 282 belong to our engineering department. They have been telling me that they hope the base can relax its policies so that they can find their other half at the base..."
Bai Feiming gazed in the direction Jiang Wu had left, listening quietly.
After he finished speaking, Bai Feiming asked calmly, "What do you think?"
Ning Guohua could not discern any emotion in her tone, nor did he have any idea what she was thinking.
Swallowing hard, Ning Guohua gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know about the others, but the men in the engineering department are all very serious about their work. No matter how hard or tiring it is, even if they are injured, they will continue to work. They work more than 12 hours a day."
“Recently, more than 30 men have collapsed on the construction site due to overwork, but as soon as they wake up, they return to the site because they all know that the base is everyone’s common home and they all love the base.”
“If the field team is to expand its recruitment, most of the men in the engineering department will definitely sign up enthusiastically! So, Ms. Bai, on behalf of these men in the engineering department, I implore you to appropriately relax the ban and allow them to find their other half at the base.”
After finishing his statement in one breath, Ning Guohua dared not say anything more and stood quietly to the side.
That's all he can do to help.
Bai Feiming looked at Nangong Wenyao and asked in a cool tone, "Wenyao, what do you think?"
Nangong Wenyao pursed her lips and said softly, "Sister Bai, I think Vice Minister Ning makes a good point."
Bai Feiming smiled slightly, took out two booklets from the pocket of her crocodile-skin trench coat, and handed them to the two of them.
Ning Guohua took it and looked at it.
[Planning for a work-point system at the base]
Ning Guohua quickly flipped through the pages.
The more he looked, the brighter his eyes became.
Then I saw a further clause: "Men who earn 300 work points are allowed to date within the base..."
Ning Guohua looked up at Bai Feiming, who had a calm and collected expression.
It turns out that Ms. Bai had already made plans.
Just as he was about to say something, he noticed Bai Feiming suddenly looking in one direction.
Ning Guohua looked in that direction with a puzzled expression.
There seemed to be nothing there.
Bai Feiming took out a walkie-talkie and said coldly, "Everyone, return to the villa. Both security teams, be on high alert!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Chen Shu's voice came through the walkie-talkie again: "Miss Bai, the surveillance cameras have spotted a convoy five kilometers away! They're heading straight for the base!"
Bai Feiming asked in a cool tone, "How many cars? Approximately how many people?"
"At least 20 vehicles! The personnel are unknown! In some of these vehicles, I saw people carrying guns! And quite a few of them! I even saw heavy machine guns!"
"Wang Xi, have the security team bring hand grenades! Also, issue all the pistols to the engineering team!"
"receive!"
"Chen Shu, prepare the explosives!"
"yes!"
"......"
The series of conversations immediately made Nangong Wenyao and Ning Guohua nervous.
A few seconds later, they suddenly heard a booming sound coming from the sky, growing louder as it approached.
That was actually a helicopter!
Its huge rotors spun rapidly, making a loud whooshing sound.
The engine roared, its sound carrying a strong sense of rhythm.
As the helicopter approached, the survivors still at the construction site stopped what they were doing and stared blankly at it.
The next second, Chen Si and some other leaders grabbed a megaphone and shouted, "Everyone, get back to the villa immediately!"
Everyone then realized what was happening and hurriedly ran towards the villa.
Some people ran so fast that they fell to the ground.
The entire construction site was in complete chaos.
Bai Feiming put on a hood and snakeskin mask, stared at the approaching helicopter, and said in a cool voice, "You two, go back to the villa too!"
Nangong Wenyao and Ning Guohua knew there was no point in staying here, so they could only follow Bai Feiming's arrangements.
The helicopter quickly flew to the mouth of the valley and hovered there.
Meanwhile, someone inside the helicopter shouted through a loudspeaker: "This is the Bauhinia Base. We are here for peace. We are here for peace. Do not run away. Do not try to provoke us! Our convoy is coming soon. Trust us, join us, and we will make you truly safe!"
Some people stopped and looked up at the helicopter.
Many more people continued to head to the resort.
On the helicopter, someone with a gun started firing at the ground.
In an instant, several people were shot and fell into pools of blood.
"This is a warning! Everyone! Assemble in the open area! If you dare to hide, when our convoy arrives, we will skin you alive!"
Bai Feiming stared coldly at the circling helicopter.
She didn't know if the remaining rifles at the base could shoot down the helicopter.
She didn't know how many people or guns were in this Bauhinia base.
The base's existing defenses are almost entirely designed for zombies and evolved beasts.
No one expected that a team would actually come to invade the base in helicopters and with a convoy!
We haven't considered this enough!
Worried about the needless sacrifice of everyone at the base, Bai Feiming calmly said into the walkie-talkie, "Have everyone stop, and the security team get ready!"
Bai Feiming's orders were carried out quickly.
Everyone at the base stopped in their tracks, most of them glaring hatefully at the helicopters circling overhead.
Soon, a convoy of more than twenty vehicles of various types arrived at the valley entrance.
Buses, heavy trucks, tankers...
Each vehicle was modified, with steel bars and plates welded on to increase protection.
Two of the off-road vehicles even had heavy machine guns mounted on them.
