After practicing with a gun for a month, Ye Zhou felt that he had been transformed into a sharpshooter.
He looked no different from before he left. After all, he had to wrap himself up tightly every day when he left the base, so he had no chance to get a tan even if he wanted to.
Originally, Ye Zhou wanted to continue going out with the soldiers every day. He could clearly feel the changes in his body.
He didn't get stronger, but his physical strength and endurance were much better than at the beginning.
Even if I am busy for the whole morning, I will not feel tired, and I will exercise with Zou Ming for a while before going to bed.
At first I could only do dozens of push-ups, but now I can do hundreds.
This change surprised Ye Zhou - who doesn't want to be healthy?
If you are in good health, you can escape faster than others.
However, due to Yang Guoqin's arrival, Ye Zhou had to return to the supermarket as he had other business to do.
"The farm is built?" Ye Zhou was a little surprised, "So fast?"
He changed his clothes into a white short-sleeved shirt and jeans, making him look like a student who had not yet left school.
Yang Guoqin said with a smile: "It has been built. We didn't intend to build it too well. We can rebuild and add more facilities later."
Ye Zhou simply said: "Okay, I understand. I will send you the chickens and ducks that we agreed on. I also want the fertilized eggs, right?"
After all, they haven't hatched yet, and the price of fertilized eggs in the system is very cheap, cheaper than live chickens and ducks. There are not many tortillas left in the base now, and fewer and fewer residents are making a living by selling corn flour in the supermarket.
Yang Guoqin: "I'm going to use a gun to pay the bill this time."
Ye Zhou had no objection: "Then you can pick a better bolt-action rifle for me."
Yang Guoqin thought of something. He held a bottle of Coke and said with a smile, "I know. Now those idiots think you are the sharpshooter I transferred from other places."
"You really have never used a sniper before?"
Ye Zhou was a little proud, but he still said reservedly: "This may be talent."
Even Chen Shu praised him like this.
Some things are extremely difficult for some people, but as easy as drinking water for others.
When he was in school, Ye Zhou didn’t understand why some of his classmates didn’t seem to study very well, but their test scores were always so good.
After a long time, we can only comfort ourselves that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
There's no need to compare your own weaknesses with other people's strengths - his grades aren't so bad that he can't get into a second-tier university.
Yang Guoqin was really curious now: "How did you train? It takes us several years to train snipers."
The most important qualities for a sniper are patience and endurance.
However, most soldiers are not suitable for this because their patience is limited. When they see zombies, they would rather rush forward with guns drawn than lurk aside and wait for the opportunity.
Ye Zhou shrugged: "I don't know either."
If only he knew, he could teach others.
Yang Guoqin didn't stay in the supermarket for long. He was very busy now. There were suddenly more things to do in the base, and like a real manager, he needed to manage things other than combat. The clerical work in the base also gradually increased. People began to find that there were more fixed positions and more temporary positions.
It seems that as long as you have good hands and feet, you can find a job.
Only when supplies are sufficient can the base create new jobs.
·
The originally sparsely populated flat ground was now filled with people waiting for their job application results. Almost all of them brought their families with them. The whole family looked up at the red paper pasted on the wall, which was filled with people's names.
"Did you find my name?!"
"Shit! I saw my name!"
“I saw that, too!”
"That shouldn't be the case! Why is my name not on the list?"
The people whose names were on the red paper shouted excitedly or hugged the people around them and spun around. Their excitement was visible to the naked eye.
The nameless person on the paper was dejected, rubbed his face and left.
There were also people who were not recruited who shouted: "Why not me? I am not bigger than them? I am not more capable than them?!"
"That's right! We are all from the same base, why can they go up but we can't?"
Working on a farm is a good job. Not only can you get a fixed salary every month, but you can also get benefits such as eggs.
Everyone in the base has been preparing for the job during this period. As long as one person in the family is hired, they won’t have to worry even if the supermarket is no longer open in the future.
As long as the base is there, their livelihood is there.
The person in charge could only wipe the sweat off his face and stand up to maintain order: "Everyone be quiet! Don't be anxious! This is just the first batch of recruits! We will recruit more when we expand the farm!"
"What's the point of you arguing now?!"
The person in charge held a megaphone in his hand, his voice almost smoking: "There are many more jobs at the base now, so don't keep staring at the farm. Production hasn't even started yet, why are you in such a hurry!"
Perhaps they really didn't have the energy to speak anymore. The person in charge waved his hand, and a group of fully armed soldiers came out with guns in hand.
The person who had clenched his fist just now fell silent and stopped making any more noise.
The person in charge breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, those whose names are on the paper go over there to register and start work tomorrow."
"If anyone slacks off, doesn't work hard, or steals things from the farm, don't blame me for being ruthless. This is the base's property. I will be responsible if anything goes wrong, and the troublemaker must leave. Do you understand?!"
The people who stayed behind shouted, “I understand!”
"Hurry up and register! We'll feel at ease once you register!"
The person in charge waved his hand, and people immediately ran to the registration office, fearing that they would lose their jobs if they were late.
Even though he didn't reach the farm, Ye Zhou could hear the cheers of the crowd.
He stood not far away and looked at people's smiling faces, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
"There are so many people." Sarah didn't expect there would be so many people. "The farm is only this big. Do we need so many people?"
The driver said, "Little boy, we are providing jobs. If we really recruit people based on job requirements, we won't be able to hire half of them."
He sighed: "There are more jobs now, but the population of the base is even greater. Only a few families have elderly people and children to support. Life is not easy."
Perhaps it is because the drivers themselves have a stable job that they have extra sympathy.
Sarah was not angry at being called a kid. She pulled Ye Zhou's clothes and asked, "Is it fun to raise chickens?"
Ye Zhou: "...probably not fun."
"Anything is no longer fun once it becomes work." Ye Zhou sighed.
Sarah looked at the children surrounding the adults. They were also happy that their parents could work. Perhaps they didn't know what it meant yet, but the adults' good mood let them know that this must not be a bad thing.
Sarah's eyes flickered slightly, and she slowly looked away, not continuing to look.
Everything in front of us seems to be in peacetime, when people will be happy for others who find a good job and feel sad for themselves if they don’t get the job.
Ye Zhou let out a long breath, thinking that the base should be back on track after some time.
There doesn't seem to be anything scary about this plane, but he doesn't know when the protective shield will be unlocked. After it is unlocked, he should leave.
Although he was a little reluctant, that reluctance was nothing compared to his desire to go home.
However, something unexpected happened at this moment.
Just when the last person finished registering and the person in charge was about to let everyone go -
Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded in the base.
The sound was like countless people screaming in one's ears, enough to break them.
“Beep—beep—”
The sound continued for a long time.
The residents who had been so excited just now suddenly fled in panic. They didn't know where to go, so they could only go to the factory that had not yet started operating.
Almost in an instant, their expressions became distorted and an atmosphere of fear suddenly rose.
Ye Zhou didn't know what was going on. He had never heard such an alarm since he came here.
Ye Zhou, whose hearing was better than others, could only cover his ears with his hands and shouted to the driver next to him: "What happened?!"
Zou Ming reached out and helped cover Ye Zhou's ears.
He turned his head and repeated Ye Zhou's shout, asking the driver, whose face turned pale and whose lips instantly lost color, "What kind of alarm is this?!"
The driver's lips trembled, and he repeated it several times before finally speaking: "The zombie tide is coming."
"This alarm means a super-large zombie tide..." The driver's eyes were red, and he didn't even realize that he was crying. "There will be such an alarm only when there are more than 100,000 zombies."
"The last time... the last time there was such an alarm was at the Red Cloud Base..." The driver's entire body was shaking. He didn't know if he was talking to someone else or mumbling to himself. His voice was sometimes louder and sometimes softer. "The Red Cloud Base was breached after such an alarm!"
"More than 300,000 people, and not a single one escaped!" The driver was so scared that he wanted to get back into the car.
He wants to run! Run to the rear!
He ran to a safe place. He had no idea whether the rear would be threatened after the Luoyang base was breached.
He only knows that if he doesn't run now, he will be the one to die later!
We can't stay here. If we stay here, we will die just like we did at Luoyang Base!
Zou Ming grabbed the driver by the collar and stared into his eyes: "We have to go back now, you'd better be able to drive."
The driver showed an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing: "Go back? What for? Go back and wait to die?!"
"You are aliens, people from the future. You are not afraid, but I am!"
He struggled almost madly, tearing his collar with both hands, willing to tear his clothes to pieces just to escape.
"We can't stop the tide of hundreds of thousands of zombies!" The driver finally realized that he couldn't break free. He gave up resistance, fell to the ground, and said numbly and fearfully, "We can't stop it..."
Zou Ming: "How do you know if it works if you don't try?"
"No base could stop us." The driver stammered, "At that time, all the bases' supplies were concentrated on Hongyun Base. Hundreds of vehicles were delivered every day. We tightened our belts and didn't want anything for ourselves. We didn't even have a few boxes of bullets left. We gave them all to Hongyun."
“It only lasted a week.”
The driver looked at Ye Zhou and his voice was very soft.
"More than 300,000 people, more than 200,000 of whom are young soldiers."
“It only lasted a week.”
