Chapter 319 Logistics Work
"The ammunition in the two large trucks on the other side needs to be moved to the island."
Xie Tu said, "Secondly, we need to build a suspension bridge for entry and exit, clear out the remaining zombies on the island, construct a barrier wall at the small port in the north to prevent zombies from landing on the island, and also loot all the supplies on the island..."
Yesterday, Yun Zhao and the college students spent the whole afternoon clearing out supplies from the hotels on one street.
Everything on the island, including the food streets, convenience stores, and department stores, remains completely untouched.
This is also why we couldn't clear all the zombies at once before.
Zombie activity continues on the island, forcing the survivors who landed there yesterday to remain in the safe hotel.
In addition, the intimidation brought by their 'superpowered' status made people dare not act rashly.
Everything has been calm since last night.
"But we don't have the materials."
Duan Xi said, "Building a suspension bridge and a barrier wall requires building materials like wood and cement, which are not available on the island."
A suspension bridge definitely needs to be built.
It's dangerous in the water now. Those small sightseeing boats could easily capsize if someone isn't careful and gets grabbed by zombies underwater.
If an ordinary person falls into the water, they will almost certainly die.
Xie Tu nodded and began to make arrangements: "Duan Xi and I will go out to find materials and pick up those six high school students."
"Song Liang and Tao Haohao organized the survivors to clear the zombies on the island and transport ammunition. First, they found some obstacles to block the small port in the north, and then arranged for some people to deal with the corpses. Those that could be burned were burned, and those that could not be burned were transported to the neighboring island by boat."
The town of Dongyi consists of four islands, with the rest of the area overrun by zombies.
In short, island B, where people live, cannot be left with those stinking corpses.
Xie Tu paused for a moment, then said, "Yun Zhao, Rabbit, Qi Ling, take those six college students and continue moving supplies."
In comparison, of the three groups of people, moving supplies was actually the safest and easiest job.
With proper logistical support, they can focus on eliminating any worries and begin the large-scale cleansing of the city's zombies.
Xie Tu added, "We can find some survivors to do the heavy work. If you want to eat your fill, you have to put in the effort. Choose what you can do and don't force yourself. Be careful to conserve your energy to deal with any dangers that may arise."
"OK."
The rabbit understood perfectly well that the captain was referring to Sister Yun Zhao.
Yun Zhao nodded in agreement.

After breakfast, everyone got to work.
After Xie Tu finished arranging things and confirmed everything, he and Duan Xi took all the remaining flyers from the day before yesterday and left by boat to find building materials for the suspension bridge and the wall.
With the peregrine falcon in charge of reconnaissance, all we need to do is find a construction site and haul the materials back.
Duan Xi hadn't slept all night, but he was still full of energy.
After reaching the other side, the two figures quickly disappeared from sight, one after the other.
Yun Zhao held the registration book and waited for the college students to finish breakfast before leading them to the warehouse to get several bags of rice and some frozen vegetables.
If you want people to work, you naturally have to make sure they're well-fed.
Tao Haohao and Song Liang went over first to inform everyone to gather in the lobby.
When Yun Zhao and the college students pushed several carts of supplies over, the sixty-six survivors lined up neatly and stood obediently in the lobby waiting.
Yun Zhao looked at the identity information on the registration book and handed it to Song Liang.
When it comes to judging people, the sentry is probably more accurate than her.
Song Liang understood her meaning. His sharp gaze swept over all the survivors, and he selected five people who seemed to be physically weak.
Four women and one man.
Two middle-aged women, two students around fifteen or sixteen years old, and a man with mobility issues.
Song Liang told them, "You'll be cooking for today. The rice and vegetables are all here, and the meals are all you can eat."
Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with surprise, and they began to whisper among themselves.
Some people secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Those people didn't carry much food with them, and they were so worried yesterday that they didn't sleep well, fearing that they would run out of food after they finished eating the food they brought to the island.
Upon hearing that meals would be provided, everyone was overjoyed.
Song Liang then changed the subject, saying, "However, only those who work will have food to eat, and those who are willing to work can step forward now."
Almost everyone stepped forward without hesitation.
Song Liang saw the six or seven-year-old girl who was being led by her parents, and she was also pushed out by her parents.
He paused for a moment but ultimately said nothing.
As originally planned, the sixty-one people were first divided into three teams.
One team followed him to clear the zombies on the island and dispose of their corpses, while the other team followed Tao Haohao to pull the boat, transport ammunition, and find obstacles to block the small port to the north.
The rest followed Yun Zhao to take inventory of the island's supplies.
The people in charge of clearing out the zombies immediately objected, and a burly man with a full beard was the first to step forward.
He grumbled in a muffled voice, "Sir, why are we the ones clearing out zombies? This job is dirty, tiring, and extremely dangerous. If we're not careful, we'll get bitten and die. Can't we find another job?"
Several people around him chimed in, "Yeah, clearing out zombies is practically suicide. We finally found a place to stay in this apocalypse, and we don't want to lose our lives like this."
Song Liang didn't even lift his eyelids. "With me here, the zombies won't be able to bite you."
The remaining zombies on the island, apart from those that climbed ashore in the north yesterday, are almost all trapped in houses or small places.
One bullet would solve it.
The main purpose of calling these people is to clean up the corpses.
That thing looked so disgusting that Song Liang didn't want to touch it.
But Song Liang didn't explain it to them clearly, only saying, "Those who don't want to go don't have to go. They can stay at the hotel and rest. We won't force them."
Those who quit will naturally not be assigned to other groups, which is unfair to others who are doing the dirty and dangerous work.
It's either work or quit; those who don't work aren't provided with meals.
Some people who had plenty of food on them and were afraid of zombies clearly did not believe that he could protect everyone by himself. After much deliberation, they gritted their teeth and chose to withdraw.
Seeing this, Tao Haohao turned around and whispered to Rabbit and Yun Zhao, "Old Song is doing well, he's putting on a respectable act, he's got the captain's vibe."
Yun Zhao subconsciously looked up at Tao Haohao.
Does this mean that Xie Tu usually pretends to be a respectable person?
So it turns out his teammates all knew he was a liar.
They've already divided them into groups.
Seven people chose to quit, leaving a total of fifty-four people working.
Song Liang's group had the fewest people, while Tao Haohao's group had the most.
Yun Zhao's group consisted almost entirely of those leftovers from the other two groups, including the six- or seven-year-old girl.
Too young to carry ammunition or fight zombies, the little girl and her mother were eventually assigned to Yun Zhao's group.
Team Zero could easily provide food for such a young child for free.
But Song Liang eventually let the little girl participate.
The rabbit was a little confused. "Why does Old Song make a child do the work?"
Yun Zhao shook his head and remained silent.
Team Zero has not discussed any of the clues they have discovered to date.
There is an all-seeing gatekeeper in the shadows.
Until the very last moment when the gatekeeper's identity is definitively known, revealing any clues would only alert the enemy.
She lowered her eyelids, clutching the registration book Song Liang handed her, her fingertips turning white from the slight pressure.
The registration book contained the little girl's identity information.
Ren Xin, six and a half years old.
"Xin" refers to the time of dawn, when the sun is about to rise.
Did Song Liang discover it too?
