Chapter 68 Chapter 68
At this time, it is still 300 kilometers away from the border of Province Y.
After a day's journey, Chen Guoan asked Zhao Wenjie to lead his patrol team to re-survey the population and count the number of people who had been killed by wolves.
An hour later, Chen Guoan took the statistical sheet handed to him by Zhao Wenjie and sighed.
Along the way, five thousand people died.
Before entering Province Y, one-third of the people had already been lost.
Chen Guoan was gloomy and depressed, and Zhang Hongyuan was even more so.
Most of the people who came from the capital base were unruly and they accounted for two-thirds of the more than 20,000 people who were reduced.
Seeing that there were not many people left, some people were still clamoring to not leave and wanted to build a base here.
"Jian Jian Jian, I think you are quite a bitch. What are you thinking of building a base next to the forest? Are you worried that these wolves won't have enough to eat? Who else wants to stay? I won't try to persuade those who want to stay. You can take your things back tonight. I am too lazy to serve you!"
Zhang Hongyuan scolded the one who was the most excited. This person was good at fanning the flames. Many things in the base were initiated by him, but there were no substantial mistakes. Zhang Hongyuan had no way to deal with him.
The other party had been waiting for him to say this. In recent days, he had contacted many people privately, intending to break away from the official system and set up his own base, preferably one like the Wild Wolf Base.
Little did he know that the Wild Wolf Base he longed for had already been bombed to ashes by Sun Xiao.
Some people in the crowd looked at each other for a while, then stood on the other side of the line.
When others saw this, they followed closely.
In the end, a total of more than 6,000 people chose to stay, including not only people from the Capital Base, but also many from the H Base.
The patrol team registered these people, then went to the car and took all their stored luggage off the car.
Suddenly, more than ten cars became vacant, and Chen Guoan immediately arranged for the base to accommodate the youngest children first.
These are human flower buds, they are extremely precious and no mistakes can be made.
Those parents are grateful to Chen Guoan that their children can ride in the car.
Without these troublemakers, the atmosphere in H base suddenly became more united than ever before.
After resting for a day, Chen Guoan set out with the people from the base as soon as the sun set the next day.
There were originally 80,000 people, but now there are less than 50,000 left. Ye Xun sat by the car window and looked out, seeing the team that had shrunk by more than half. The remaining people also had numb eyes and haggard faces.
It is inevitable that the rabbit dies and the fox mourns. If it weren't for the dream and space he had, he would probably be worse off than them.
Ye Xun lowered the car curtain and no longer paid attention to the outside.
The base stopped and walked, and finally arrived at the junction of Province G and Province Y. The mountains and forests slowly turned into sand. A random gust of wind would blow up countless grains of sand, which hit the face and were quite painful.
During the journey, Xu Feng's injuries have healed by 80%, so he can temporarily take over Qin Wei's driver position to allow him to rest.
The wind and sand outside were so strong that the marching team had to stop and wait for the storm to end before setting off again.
The people sitting in the car were fine, but the people in the tent were miserable. Stones fell on their heads with a crackling sound, disturbing their sweet dreams.
Due to limited conditions, I can only fall asleep listening to these sounds.
I thought the storm would end the next day, but it got worse and worse. After staying outside for just a few minutes, I was cut by the gravel in the wind.
Seeing that the sandstorm would not stop for a while, Chen Guoan had no place to go and could only pace around in his tent anxiously.
These tents were hastily made by the women in the base. The workmanship was mediocre and I don't know if they can withstand the impact of the stones.
The sand was blinding and the distribution of food became much more difficult, so the patrol team spent almost all their energy on these things.
"Where's Zhao Wenjie? Ask him to come see me." Chen Guoan turned around a few times, but it was no use worrying about it, so he asked someone to call Zhao Wenjie over.
Zhao Wenjie, who received the summons, came in the midst of a sky full of sand. After entering the tent, he shook off the gravel in his hair before going to see Chen Guoan.
"Mayor Chen, what's the matter with you calling me here?"
Chen Guoan asked, "Xiao Zhao, did the research institute tell us when this sandstorm will end?"
"It is expected to last for a week, and the wind speed is expected to reach level 9. The opinion over there is that forming a circle around the vehicles can help to block the wind."
"Then do as they say." Chen Guoan stopped Zhao Wenjie before he left, "Go ask Ye Xun if he can park his car in the front."
The RV is nearly five meters high, and its wind-shielding ability is evident.
Zhao Wenjie came back soon and said that Ye Xun agreed with this approach, but asked Chen Guoan to increase the patrol team's supervision of the base residents. If anyone did anything sneaky, don't blame him for being rude.
Chen Guoan agreed and promised not to let anyone damage their property.
It was still dark, so he took the time to have the patrol team adjust the parking positions of the vehicles and surround the open space to form a semicircle. The wind blowing onto the tent instantly became much weaker.
When Qin Wei parked the car, there was a tent close to him, so there was almost no wind.
This sandstorm also brought other problems. The base was running out of drinking water. The original plan was to reach Province Y in two months, but they were delayed for so many days at the last minute. The remaining water might not be able to support them to reach their destination.
There was enough food, with the sweet potatoes and vegetables that were harvested quickly, so they could eat enough to rebuild their base even if they arrived in Province Y.
It was eight days later that the storm completely stopped.
During this period of time, none of Ye Xun's group got off the car. There were plenty of supplies in the car, and Ye Xun occasionally secretly added some things from the space.
The group of people lived a very comfortable life.
For the remaining 300 miles, tens of thousands of people traveled day and night and finally entered the territory of Province Y on the seventh day.
In the past, Province Y had spring-like weather all year round. Even at the end of the world, the temperature was three or four degrees lower than that in other provinces.
This is just the edge. As the altitude continues to increase, the temperature will continue to drop, and accordingly, the extreme cold will become more unbearable.
As we went deeper into Province Y, lakes began to appear. Most of the water evaporated, leaving only a shallow area at the bottom of the lake.
Fearing that the nematodes would make a comeback, Chen Guoan ordered people to filter the water, and then caught a wild rabbit on the roadside for an experiment.
Only after the rabbits drank the filtered and boiled water without any abnormalities did Chen Guoan dare to give it to people to drink. Even so, the water had to be filtered by equipment and could not be boiled directly for drinking.
But taking a shower is no problem.
Everyone hadn't taken a shower for nearly ten days, and the smell on their bodies had long been unbearable, which was why Ye Xun had been reluctant to get off the bus. First of all, the smell was unpleasant, and secondly, everyone in the bus, even Bal, looked clean and fresh.
Doesn't this tell the world that they have water?
Xu Feng and others have never been curious about why the water has not been used up, but everyone has secrets. Since they have taken advantage, they should not care where these advantages come from.
After leaving Province G, not only is there abundant water resources, but the roads also become flat. Province Y is mainly plateau. Although the terrain is high, it is flat and the walking speed is much faster than in the mountains.
Chen Village, where Ye's father and mother live, is in the north of Y Province, about 400 kilometers away from where they are now.
It is only fifty kilometers away from the station chosen by Chen Guoan. Ye Xun’s plan is to bring the old couple to live together after the house there is built.
