Chapter 147 The Arrival of the Large Force
In just two days, all the zombies were cleared out, and the roads and walls were cleared and built.
They planned to build a fifteen-meter-high and two-meter-wide wall, somewhat similar to the ancient city walls, on which guards could walk and patrol. There would be watchtowers several dozen meters high on both sides, with stairs leading up and down. There would also be supporting rest and medical areas for guards under the wall.
To this end, they carried out a new urban planning, deliberately demolishing and clearing some high-rise buildings to make room for the construction of the new design.
Lu Ming took out all the raw materials he had collected from the building materials factory, but that was still not enough, so they drove around and searched all the building materials factories and construction companies in City C, and got enough materials to build a few more walls.
The second and third batches of survivors also arrived as scheduled.
The two groups of people totaled more than 20,000 people, and they were still assigned to the previous leaders according to their respective expertise. They took a day off as usual and then started working step by step.
With the increase of various technical personnel, the Chaoyang base has gradually begun to restore some of the functions of a modern city.
For example, we started making household registration cards and ID cards, collecting basic information such as name, gender, age, address, and ability type, and reconstructed a household registration system. The base's new currency system was also bound to it. Having this card is enough for daily life, which is very convenient.
The base uses two types of currency, one is electronic currency and the other is crystal, so there are many ways to make money, such as finding a job, taking tasks, finding supplies to sell to the base, killing zombies to get crystals, etc.
For example, the construction of the medical system.
The base central hospital was established, and its address was the same as a public hospital in the central area. First, it was thoroughly cleaned and disinfected to ensure that there were no pollutants and other infectious viruses in the hospital. Then, the hospital's usable equipment and medicines were counted and put into storage. Once a large number of medical personnel arrived, it could begin operations.
Although there was no wall built around the outermost part of the city, they still set up checkpoints on the main roads. From time to time, supply teams from the city passed by, and cleaning teams from outside the city came in and out.
When Cheng Ming arrived with most of the survivors, he saw a scene of construction in full swing.
As the convoy entered the toll station in City C, it was detected by the ground monitoring system set up by Li Hangyuan. He shouted excitedly, "The deputy captain and his team have arrived in City C!"
Gu Chao and Lu Ming came to the observation tower and saw from afar a long line of vehicles moving quickly towards the base. They couldn't help but feel happy and smiled at each other.
After passing the checkpoint and driving into City C, Cheng Ming soon looked up and saw the two people on the observation deck.
"J City Base Migration Team 4, requesting entry!"
"Entry is allowed, open the door!"
The thick door slid open and the lever inside was raised.
"Boom, boom." Several light armored vehicles entered first, followed by a uniform number of military trucks, buses, public buses and other large vehicles, followed by a long list of various small vehicles, and finally supply trucks and various engineering vehicles, as well as several tanks.
As soon as people come in, the first thing they see is a large open space, which is used specifically for parking and temporarily staying survivors, a bit like a transit station.
Four members of the Chaoyang team walked out of several armored vehicles and walked towards Gu Chao and them.
Gu Chao and Cheng Ming gave each other a slap and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Did you have a smooth journey?"
"It went smoothly. We encountered a wave of zombies along the way, but they weren't many, so we dealt with them quickly. You guys are the ones who worked hard. I heard you had a pretty exciting trip."
Lin Cong gave him a bear hug and shouted, "That's right! Deputy Captain, you don't know, our journey was so thrilling, full of dangers, and extremely exciting!"
Everyone laughed.
Lu Ming was also very happy and said to the others, "Long time no see!"
Yan Wei had the best relationship with her. He said, "Junior! We missed you so much when you were not around!" and wanted to come over to hug her. However, before he could touch her, he was stopped by a hand.
"Captain?" Yan Wei turned around and saw Gu Chao with a cold face. He didn't know when he came from that direction.
Gu Chao said "hmm" lightly, then hugged him and patted his back "lovingly". "You have grown taller, not bad."
Yan Wei was almost spitting blood. He coughed twice and said with a red face, "Thank you, thank you, Captain!"
Gu Chao let him go, gave him a strange smile, and then took Lu Ming to greet others.
Lu Ming looked at Yan Wei sympathetically and thought to himself, I'm sorry, little brother, I really didn't say anything, he just guessed it!
Yan Wei was left standing there in confusion.
What was going on? Why did he feel like the future had suddenly become so dark?!
When the others saw the two holding hands, they immediately understood, grinned mischievously, and winked at their captain.
It finally worked. No wonder they felt the captain smiled more often.
Lu Ming blushed again and pinched Gu Chao.
Gu Chao quickly put on a serious face, "Alright, it's getting late, let's all go in."
Everyone chuckled as they walked in, entering the checkpoint one by one.
"Where are Zhou Zixi and Lu Shaoyang?"
"Shaoyang is right behind us. He's in charge of escorting some heavy weapons and equipment. He should be here soon."
"There are still some survivors left at the J City base who are not suitable for long-distance travel. Zixi stayed behind to escort this group from the sky. He will contact us before coming."
"good."
Cheng Ming and his companions arrived at the hotel where they were staying, rested for a while, and then went to the conference room with the others.
Lu Ming introduced Xiao Yue to them first, and no one objected. Yan Song even sighed, "Oh, back then, I was hoping for a little sister, but in the end, it turned out to be a stinky boy."
"elder brother!"
"Ha ha ha ha."
After joking around for a while, although everyone seemed relaxed and happy on the surface, everyone actually felt heavy in their hearts.
Gu Chao and his companions left early and didn't feel anything yet, but they had been staying in J City. They could clearly feel that the weather was getting colder and colder, and the wind blew straight into their bones. Almost everyone put on their thickest clothes, and only changed into thin coats when they arrived near C City.
It is not until now that they have truly realized that the Earth's climate has been completely disrupted, and that severe weather is precisely the most inevitable, helpless, and serious threat to mankind.
No one can escape the punishment of nature. All they can do is try their best to compete with this harsh environment for human life.
After Gu Chao and his companions left, the J City base introduced a series of new policies. Some people, unable to accept them, left the base on their own accord. As a result, the entire Chaoyang base now has a total of over 140,000 people. Of these, the official base force, including short-term psychics and long-term guards, administrative staff, and professional personnel from various departments, totals over 40,000. Of the remaining ordinary survivors, over 90,000 are laborers, and the rest are the elderly, the young, the sick, and the disabled.
However, when the ice and snow period comes, I wonder how many people will survive.
