The battle to defend the base lasted for five days. The first two days were fine, but everyone was exhausted in the last two days. Even with the shift system, the high-intensity fighting still made everyone extremely tired.
The Zhengyang Brigade is relatively good. Although there are few people, all of them are of good level. No matter whether they are fighting on the front line or doing logistics in the back, there is no one who is not good. The whole team runs very efficiently and the atmosphere is very united. In addition, the casualty rate is very low, the food can keep up, and the most important thing is that the clinic here has a sleep aid service.
With the help of wood-type ability users, one hour of sleep can be equivalent to two or three hours. The need for sleep time is greatly reduced, and the quality of sleep is greatly improved. People are in good spirits and refreshed, and their work efficiency is naturally very high. Therefore, even if the frequency of shifts becomes faster and faster, and they may have to go back to the front line within four or five hours after retiring, people are not very tired.
In contrast, it’s different in other places.
The entire length of the base's walls was immense. The Ning City base was built at the foot of a mountain. Aside from the mountain range behind it, the other sides were entirely defended by the walls. So, if you measured it, the walls would be 20 to 30 kilometers long. The Zhengyang Brigade was responsible for one-tenth of the defense, with the remainder primarily relying on Lü Jianping's forces. Naturally, other factions, both large and small, also contributed.
Although it is a matter of life and death, everyone is selfish and always hopes that others will contribute more and they will contribute less. If there is any loss of manpower and material resources, it is best that they are others'.
With this kind of mentality, it is naturally not easy to unite as one and give our all.
After several meetings, intimidation, and suppression, Lü Jianping finally managed to get the other factions to reluctantly contribute manpower and manpower. But even with unity, there was still a very practical problem. Although the entire base was large, numbering in the millions, the densely populated areas had hundreds of people huddled in a room of about 100 square meters, with only a single bunk bed for sleeping. However, there were only a few who were truly strong and mentally prepared enough to scale the walls and kill zombies.
Therefore, they are not as good as the Zhengyang Battalion, which can send four waves of people to the front line in rotation every day.
Moreover, even if a large number of personnel are rotated, their food supply cannot keep up.
Not everyone has opened up a new area to grow vegetables and raise pigs like the Zhengyang Brigade.
If they are not united, don't eat well, and don't get enough sleep, then of course they will become less and less able to continue fighting as time goes on.
It was the fifth day of the zombie siege, and night was approaching. Thinking of the zombies that would become even more frenzied at night, Lu Jianping was troubled. He grabbed Ye Xiao and asked him what the hell was going on with the sleep-aid program at their clinic. Was it really that amazing? Could a Wood-type psychic actually make people sleep like they were replenished with spiritual energy? Why did his own Wood-type psychic, after trying it, only make them feel even more dizzy and nauseous?
Thinking of the constant queues of people coming to his little girl for help sleeping, Ye Xiao wasn't as proud or happy as others imagined. His expression even looked a little grim, and his tone was indifferent: "That's true, but there are very few Wood-type psychics who can do it, and the clinic is completely overwhelmed."
This directly shut Lu Jianping up. Just as he was about to ask if he could let his people jump the queue and experience it, he choked and touched his increasingly smooth forehead. As a compromise, he asked if he could let his wood-type mutant go to learn from others and learn some skills.
Ye Xiao also knew that the situation was not good for Lu Jianping. It was Lu Jianping's elite soldiers who were really carrying the load. However, those tens of thousands of elite soldiers were exhausted these days, with almost no time to rest. I heard that their casualties were getting higher and higher. Thinking that Mingze had learned from Tan Tan and could now help non-superpowered people fall asleep quickly and relieve fatigue, he agreed to let him teach. Then he comforted Lu Jianping: "Hold on for another day or two, it will be over soon."
Lu Jianping sighed and nodded.
It was getting dark, and the zombie hordes after dark were extremely crazy, so Ye Xiao always had to guard the city wall himself at night, without exception, and only went back to rest during the day, so he went to the clinic before it got dark.
Lin Tantan is still busy. It has been like this every day since he came here these days. Now, not to mention the beds in the clinic, the corridors are full of people sleeping. A large tent was temporarily built next to the clinic, with some large bunk beds for people to sleep on. The place is almost full of people sleeping here all the time, and almost all of them snore loudly, with bad breath, foot odor and sweat odor all over the place.
If they fall asleep normally, these alert people will basically wake up immediately when they hear some movement around them. Especially after a fierce battle with zombies, or watching their companions die at the mouths of zombies, they may not be able to sleep well.
But people who fall asleep with the help of supernatural powers can sleep very deeply.
There is no anxiety, no pressure on the heart, no thoughts about life and death, no fear or confusion about the future. The mind is blank, and there is only one thing to do, sleeping. Unless there are gongs and drums and people shouting, they basically will not wake up. So even if the snoring one after another is louder than slaughtering pigs, and people walk by from time to time, these people can still sleep soundly with their legs spread out and drooling.
When they woke up, they were full of energy again.
Ye Xiao should be relieved, but in fact he felt a little depressed.
Ever since Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian left Lin Tantan that day, both full of energy and inspiration, she completely broadened the scope of her treatment targets and no longer limited them to the more than 300 patients. Anyone who felt that their rest quality was not good could come to her. One work point could be exchanged for one sleep-aid opportunity, and then people lined up to come.
At this time, Lin Tan Tan was directing three people to lie down in an empty space on the big bunk bed: "Just lie down here." After they lay down in a row, she sent out three green ribbons and pierced them into the heads of the three people. After more than ten seconds, the three fell asleep. Two minutes later, distinctive snoring sounds sounded like a fight.
Lin Tantan maintained this position for a full five minutes before withdrawing her hand. She opened her mouth to yawn, but just as she was about to inhale, she inhaled a thick, indescribable stench and sour smell. She quickly covered her mouth and silently left the greenhouse.
Then he saw Ye Xiao.
Lin Tantan's eyes lit up: "You're here!" Her face looked a little tired, but she was in a very good mood. Although she was very busy and tired, she was very happy to be able to help.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "How was your day?"
"It's fine, how are you guys doing?"
"That's good." Ye Xiao said, "Let's take a break."
Lin Tantan felt a little dizzy from constantly using his powers. Since there was no one in line at the moment, he nodded in agreement. "Come walk with me. My body is getting stiff from being alone all day long."
They went to the new district. Compared with other places, the new district was quieter. Crops of different heights grew quietly in the fields. Animals in pig pens, chicken coops and other places also lived peacefully, barking from time to time.
At this time, many people were working in the fields. Planting-type wood-type ability users were trying hard to grow crops to keep up with the recent high consumption, and some were picking half-grown vegetables.
Because people are always taking turns to rest and retreat from the front line, the big kitchen needs to prepare meals at all times, so there are always people busy in the fields here, and there are always people picking chickens and slaughtering sheep from the barn, killing them nearby, and sending them for cooking after a rough processing.
So although it is relatively quiet here, there is also a tense atmosphere. The inner wall is connected to the courtyard of the Zhengyang Brigade, and the outer wall is the zombie army. Naturally, there are people fighting the zombies on top of them.
Lin Tan talked about the city wall. The wall had collapsed several times in the past five days and had been repaired several times. It looked a bit tattered at this time, with varying depths, and was full of traces left by zombies' collisions and scratches, as well as various blood stains.
Lin Tantan had actually gone up to see the zombie tide on the first day. At that time, the zombies were really like a tide. Five days had passed, and now the zombies were much sparser and not as powerful. They couldn't climb the city walls as quickly to pile up corpses, but there were still many of them.
Especially now that the ammunition is almost used up, people can only rely on their superpowers to fight them, so people are still under great pressure. Everyone on the city wall here has a very serious expression. When they saw the two people coming up, they just greeted them and immediately stared at the zombies.
Lin Tantan looked around and saw the increasingly desolate land. She saw corpses strewn across the ground under the blood-red setting sun. She saw zombies staggering closer, and then saw them falling down one after another. She suddenly pointed into the distance and said, "Look over there, it looks like a wave of zombies are retreating, right?"
Ye Xiao looked over and said, "Zombies have brains too. When they see the corpses of their compatriots scattered all over the ground and think about how they can't defeat them, they naturally think of running away. This isn't the first time a zombie has retreated instead of advancing."
Lin Tan Tan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you've withdrawn. How long will it take for this to end?"
"Two days at most, no longer. In fact, I want to scare them so they'll retreat sooner."
Lin Tan was stunned: "How to scare?"
Ye Xiao was about to speak when the communicator rang. Lin Tantan was standing close by, so he naturally heard the voice coming from inside. It was Xu Qin, and there was excitement in her voice. As calm as Xu Qin was, it was rare for him to get so excited.
He said that the transformation of the magic machine was completed and it could be used.
Lin Tantan was even more surprised. She had been very busy these days and hadn't paid much attention to other things. What modifications had Xu Qin made to the magic machine?
However, when he left that day, he did say that he had found a new idea and could make a new design for the magic machine.
Ye Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and said he understood. He would go over right away. Then he said to Lin Tan Tan, "I'm going to scare them. Do you want to watch?"
Lin Tantan was full of curiosity and went back to the compound with him.
At this time, a line formed in the clinic again, waiting for Lin Tantan to go for sleep aid, but she was only curious about the appearance of the Shen Ji after its transformation and how Ye Xiao would scare the zombies, so she asked them to wait.
Then she saw the divine machine, which looked no different from before. Ye Xiao also looked around it. Xu Qin's eyes flashed with excitement as she said to Ye Xiao, "It can last for about five minutes. The possibility of a failure within five minutes is very low, but not impossible. You must be careful and be prepared to abandon the machine at any time."
