At the mouth of the valley, Jiang Wu stood on an eight-meter-high wall.
Today, the more than 100-meter-long wall is only a dozen meters away from being completely joined together.
The wall is more than two meters thick, with a large frame made of reinforced concrete and filled with stones and soil in the middle.
The outermost wall was originally made of 40 centimeters of reinforced concrete, but Jiang Wu later increased the thickness to 80 centimeters.
Even the giant crocodiles they encountered before couldn't damage this wall.
Not only can people stand on the top of the wall, but a breast wall more than one meter high and more than twenty centimeters thick was also built on the outer perimeter.
Including this section of the breastwork, the entire wall appears to be over nine meters high from the outside.
Jiang Wu really didn't know how the zombies could possibly cross the nine-meter-high wall.
The only weakness might be the exit from the wall to the outside world.
It was a doorway that was more than two meters wide.
However, the two large iron gates of this doorway are more than ten centimeters thick, and can only be moved by an electric motor.
It's definitely not something zombies can break through.
Not only were there walls.
Dozens of construction vehicles are now working on the large open space in front of the wall.
In addition to the main road, large pits four to five meters deep were dug on both sides of the main road, and the pit walls were all smoothed with concrete more than ten centimeters thick.
The pit's height is such that any zombies that fall in won't die, enough to confuse the Type N zombies and make them keep sending out more zombies to fill the pit.
Pipelines were buried at the bottom of the pit, allowing gasoline to be poured in.
If there are enough zombies, then you can burn them all down.
Once this large framework is completed, Jiang Wu believes that even if his base is besieged by a horde of 100,000 zombies, it will remain impregnable.
As for the million-strong zombie horde.
Jiang Wu couldn't understand it.
Chen Shu and his team used computers to simulate what a scale of millions would look like.
It left everyone speechless.
It truly stretched endlessly, like ocean waves...
Nangong Wenyao said softly, "Brother Wu, once the wall is finished, we will arrange for everyone to repair all the hills on three sides of the base and plug any possible gaps."
"Yeah, whatever's safest will do."
As Jiang Wu gazed at the massive construction site and the nearly two thousand people working diligently, his thoughts drifted to the Donghu base.
Our base only has a little over two thousand people, yet it's already causing such a commotion.
The total population there has reached over 40,000; I wonder what it's like there.
Before the apocalypse, Jiang Wu thought that tens of thousands of people were nothing.
But now it seems that the fact that a settlement has tens of thousands of survivors is truly astonishing.
The daily food consumption alone requires tens of tons, a thought that makes Jiang Wu's scalp tingle.
Nangong Wenyao noticed that Jiang Wu was absent-minded, so she stood quietly beside him without saying a word.
"Chief, you told us to keep an eye out for traces of the mutated beasts, and this time we've actually found their activity area!"
Sheng Huaiqiang found Jiang Wu on the wall and reported excitedly.
His gaze remained fixed on Jiang Wu, and he dared not look at Nangong Wenyao at all.
Recently, some people at the base have been secretly discussing that Nangong Wenyao is becoming more and more beautiful and more and more eerie.
If you dare to look her in the eye, you'll find yourself staring in a daze, as if you've been bewitched by her.
He was truly mesmerized; his entire mind was filled with nothing but Nangong Wenyao's eyes.
She was like a legendary enchantress who could captivate hearts.
This wouldn't be a problem if it were any other woman.
Staring blankly at her will only make you look bad at most.
Nangong Wenyao is the leader's woman. Staring at the leader's woman could cost you your life!
Jiang Wu said calmly, "Could it be that we've found a few more large footprints, or perhaps the tracks of a giant python?"
Sheng Huaiqiang gave an awkward laugh.
Traces were found several times before, but after searching for a long time, nothing was found.
Sometimes he really felt that he was not cut out to be the head of the intelligence department at all.
Several times I wanted to tell the leader to change my position and let someone else with the ability take over as the intelligence minister, and I would be willing to be a platoon leader or squad leader in the combat department.
Unfortunately, the leader still sees himself as the head of the intelligence department.
Sheng Huaiqiang said confidently, "Chief, this time it's absolutely true! I saw the mutated beast sink into a small lake with my own eyes, and I also found traces of its movement on the shore. That lake is definitely its habitat."
"A lake? Is that lake big? And what is that mutated beast? How big is it?"
Jiang Wu asked several questions in a row.
"That lake isn't very big; it's more like a large pond, about the size of three or four football fields. Also, I suggest you go and see the lake. Some strange plants are growing out of the water and floating on the surface. We all think those plants are abnormal."
"As for that mutated beast, when we arrived, we only saw a section of its tail. It looked like a crocodile or a large lizard. Judging from the size of the footprints left on the land, it was probably much larger than the giant crocodile we encountered before."
Sheng Huaiqiang spoke very seriously, as if he wanted to prove that what he said was true.
Jiang Wu patted Sheng Huaiqiang on the shoulder to encourage him, then smiled and said, "Well done. How far is that lake?"
"It's 30 kilometers away from us, and the location is quite remote. It's in a mountain valley, and there's a village of over a thousand people next to it. The houses in that village are scattered, so it will take some effort to take it back."
"Alright, have you formulated a battle strategy?" Jiang Wu asked casually.
