The Door to Rebirth in Apocalypse - Chapter 193
The population of the oasis base is increasing, but the population of the resettlement sites is decreasing, and even more and more resettlement sites have been evacuated.
At the beginning, the three major bases did not notice this phenomenon. They just felt that these settlements were getting more and more lifeless, but they thought about it and felt normal. After all, the people at these settlements are no different from the walking dead, and they rarely enter. To go inside, you usually drove away as soon as you put the materials at the gate.
They finally discovered that something was wrong three months later.
They didn’t realize that something was wrong when they found that one of the settlements was empty. The two settlements often merged together, but when they found the third, fourth, fifth…Finally When almost all the settlement points were empty, they finally realized that something was wrong.
And the oasis base at this time. It has developed into a large base of nearly 300,000 people.
“Small dishes! Fresh and fresh side dishes!”
“Boss, how do you change your little green vegetables?”
“Are there any cigarettes? A handful of dishes and a cigarette.”
“No, boss, cigarettes are scarce now. Side dishes can be found everywhere in the base now. One cigarette requires three side dishes.”
“Well, do you want something else? There are potatoes, peppers, cucumbers and mushrooms here.”
“Then I will pick up three cigarettes.”
In the market area of the Oasis Base, there are voices of bargaining and bargaining for goods. There are more sellers and more people buying. There is no big difference between the people coming and going and the market before the end of the world. It’s more lively. People walk around the market at will with the items they can redeem for, and discuss how to trade with the sellers when they meet their needs. Because there is no universal currency, people still trade things in exchange for things. As a valuable item, crystal nuclei can be exchanged for a relative amount of needed materials in the base trading bureau. Whether it is cigarettes, drinks, daily necessities or various vegetable and fruit seeds, the trading bureau can basically meet all the needs of people.
The Exchange Bureau not only collects crystal nuclei, but also collects precious items such as gold, silver, diamonds, and jade.
The number of unmanned reconnaissance aircraft outside the base has increased to fifty.
The summer had just been established a few days ago, but the weather was still a little bit cool. People who had suffered the cold put on short sleeves early. The people on the fence were still working in full swing. The fence had been built to a height of ten meters. In order to be more conducive to the defense, the ancient city wall was built in the style of the capital No. 2 base. There are more places to stand on the wall, and all machine guns will be installed at that time.
It’s just that Gu Ning’s money flowed out of her hands like flowing water.
But money comes in when it comes out. The various gold and silver jewellery received by the trading bureau, as well as gold bars, diamonds and jade, were handed over to Ji Jiuze for help and a large sum of money was also obtained.
Gu Ning still has plenty of money, mainly weapons and some high-tech equipment.
The base slowly began to be self-sufficient, showing the embryonic form of the city, with a well-equipped hospital, a school with sufficient teachers, and a strong army.
The current guard has nearly five thousand men.
With a group of 1,000 people, a battalion of 500 people, a company of 100 people, a platoon of 50 people, and a team of 20 people.
The third brother was promoted from company commander to division commander at once, and was in charge of the five thousand troops.
The soldiers of the three companies were scattered and arranged in the troops, mostly deputy heads, who played a supervisory role.
When these people met recently, they all called each other with their first name and last name plus the suffix of the deputy head of the group, and they made fun of each other.
Cheng Ming’s method Zhang Xiaobai didn’t have the mind to do these things. He just stayed with the third brother wherever he needed it.
The entire base knows that the power center of the oasis base is in the hands of these people.
Gao Yue now bears the name of a dean and studies the crystal nucleus every day. It is said that major progress has been made. There is already some hope for the No. 2 antidote. This is also the result of the joint efforts of her and Yi Shaoqing. The two of them often They will exchange information together, and as soon as the second antidote comes out, even the virus of evolutionary zombies can be solved.
The hospital now has only four or five people capable of performing operations, and each of them has brought more than 20 interns.
Even Liu Xin is now considered a senior nurse. There are more than a dozen trainee nurses behind her **** every day. She is so busy every day, but she is very satisfied. The sisters share a house, and Xia Yu lives on the opposite side. He was deliberately chosen against them. He was eagerly pursuing Liu Mei, but Liu Mei seemed to be worried. Liu Xin called out one brother-in-law every day, and every night he came back from get off work and went to Xia Yu’s house to find food. .
The people in the third company all live in the same building.
Mom Gu still goes to the canteen to supervise every day, and Dad Gu is now the principal, but everyone still only calls him Teacher Gu.
The Oasis Base will arrange two groups of people to go out to kill zombies every day. For every ten crystal nuclei obtained in total, one crystal nucleus will be rewarded, but if a crystal nucleus is found privately, it will be expelled from the team immediately. For the Oasis army with super-high welfare benefits, if it is expelled because of the possession of crystal nuclei, it is really a loss that does not equal the gain. Except for a few unbelievers who secretly hid the crystal nucleus at the beginning and were fired after being found out, no one dared to take such a risk anymore.
The base is thriving, and the people in the base are living and looking forward to it.
In the base’s monitoring room, there are a total of fifty screens on two super-large screens that occupy almost the entire area. These images are all broadcast from the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft. At this time, there was a small window showing that an off-road vehicle was entering the warning area outside the base. A young man captured this picture and said, “This is not the base car.” He reached out and touched the screen, facing the small window. After stretching it twice, the small window is instantly enlarged three times, and the license plate number can be clearly seen.
At four o’clock in the morning, Zhuang Chen hurriedly visited and brought bad news.
“Those resettlement sites are all empty. Can it not arouse the alertness of the base? They just haven’t figured out what caused the resettlement sites to become empty, but it is only a matter of time. It will be a few days at the earliest, but not more than half a month at the latest. Uninvited guests will definitely come.” Zhuang Chen said.
After listening to Zhuang Chen’s words, Gu Ning and the others did not panic, because they were already mentally prepared.
If it was discovered two months or even a month ago, it would really take a cold sweat, but now the base is united and everything is stable. If you want to destroy it by external force, unless you use force. And even if the capital base is eyeing the oasis base, it is impossible to really fight the oasis base. At most, it is threatening. If the threat is not successful, then it is negotiation, exploring the depth of the base, and then trying to fight for more benefits. It’s impossible to fight anyway.
Ji Jiuze calmly said to Gu Ning, and all of a sudden, Gu Ning’s worries were mostly eliminated. As long as he couldn’t fight, what else was there to be afraid of?
Gu Ning repeated Ji Jiuze’s words to Zhuang Chen. After listening to the worry between his brows, Zhuang Chen paused, and said, “Although you can’t fight, you have to be cautious. If you really want to negotiate, the people over there are not vegetarians, and they didn’t bite. They won’t let go of the next piece of meat. You’d better prepare well.”
After Zhuang Chen left, the third brother called everyone to a meeting again.
The content of course is about how to deal with the capital base.
It’s just discussion and discussion, but in the end, soldiers can only come to cover up the water and earth, and see tricks and demolition tricks. Even so, the oasis base began to be secretly arranged. All the teams have not gone out these days and all stayed at the base to practice. Although they don’t know what happened, they can faintly feel what is going to happen. Especially the third brother’s speech to the whole army yesterday was full of profound meaning. Those who are smarter probably guess what it is because of, and those who are dull can feel the change in the atmosphere.
A week later, the capital base finally arrived.
Whether it is Gu Ning who sees the other party or the other party who sees Gu Ning, you can be said to be shocked.
Gu Ning never expected that the person who came was actually Ji Qi!
Brother Ji Qi also watched Gu Ning speechless for a long time, and suddenly remembered that before he left the base, Zhuang Chen’s hesitant and weird look, he wondered how she looked at that time along the way. Why? Only when I saw Gu Ning at this time, I knew why she was doing that look at the time.
After Gu Ning was astonished, she smiled.
Seeing Gu Ning’s very calm appearance, Ji Qi’s expression became even more weird. Although he and Gu Ning are not very close, they just usually talk too much. Gu Ning’s mouth is good. It is said that Gu Ning is Ji Jiuze’s apprentice, and I feel closer to each other. In addition, Gu Ning often finds Zhuang Chen and Yi Shaoqing in the past, it is inevitable that he will encounter several times, and have eaten together, and gradually become acquainted with each other. What’s more, the raw materials for the big meals eaten at Zhuang Chen’s every week are all from Gu Ning, and Ji Zaotang even asks Gu Ning for a lot of things that are rare in the last days. This layer of relationship is built up together, and it is absolutely impossible for me to turn my face with Gu Ning. When I thought that I had actively invited it, Brother Ji Qi almost regretted his intestines, with an expression of constipation on his face.
Brother Ji Qi suddenly squinted at Ji Zaotang beside him, and Ji Zaotang coughed unnaturally, pretending to look at the scenery from all sides, just not looking at him. Brother Ji Qi knew right away that Ji Zaotang had been walking secretly these days, and this time he had to follow his own reasons for coming here. He knew about the Oasis Base for a long time 80% of the time, and he was still a frequent visitor here.
Brother Ji Qi sighed angrily by his own little brother. After glaring at him unanimously, he gave Gu Ning a wink to indicate that she was not good to greet her with so many people, and then presented the official one. Attitude said to the third brother: “Hello, I am Ji Mo Yuan, the capital base.”
When the third brother saw the eye contact between Gu Ning and Ji Zaotang and this Ji Moyuan, he knew that the person here was a friend, but he still said coldly: “Hello, I am Xie Aiguo, the deputy base commander of the base. “
The third brother glanced at the officials in suits and ties who came with Ji Qiqi, and then said, “Xiaobai, please go to the next room to sit in the next few guests.”
The officials who came with Ji Qiqi were immediately taken aback. They all looked at Ji Qiqi and saw that Ji Qiqi nodded at them. They were dissatisfied and invited to another room “friendly” by Zhang Xiaobai and others. went.
Only Ji Qige and Ji Zaotang were left in the conference room.
A smile appeared on Gu Ning’s face, and she broke the silence first and said, “Brother Seven, let me introduce to you. This is the third brother and the head of the Oasis Base. This is Daochang Jia, Method, Cheng Ming, Xiaobai. Everyone, this is Brother Ji Qi, a friend of Zhuang Chen and Yi Shaoqing, and a cousin of Zaotang, and also a friend of mine.” Gu Ning introduced the two parties as an intermediary. Ji Zaotang had known each other when he sent Gu Ning to the resettlement site before, so there is no need for another introduction.
It was completely different from the cold atmosphere where outsiders were just now. After listening to Gu Ning’s introduction, everyone smiled and shook hands. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
As soon as everyone was seated, Brother Ji Qi felt a little embarrassed when he thought about the purpose of his coming this time. After thinking about it, he could only use his own person to perform the operation, and said angrily to Ji Zaotang: “You and Zhuang Chen Yi Shaoqing three Didn’t you know that the Oasis Base was hidden from me?”
Ji Zaotang chuckled and said, “Seven brothers, it’s mainly because your identity is sensitive. We don’t know how to talk to you.”
Brother Ji Qi gave him a gloomy look, meaning that he would wait to return home to see how to clean up you, and then reluctantly looked at the third brother Gu Ning and others on the opposite side and said: “Presumably the purpose of my coming today, Zhuang Chen and the others are early. I have already given you the sound of the wind.” He straightened up and said with a serious face: “Then I won’t be ambiguous. Originally, I was here to put pressure on you on behalf of the capital base. I hope to persuade you to give up the sovereignty of the base. Come out and hand over the base to the government. But now it seems that what I prepared all day yesterday to convince you was nothing, so let’s go directly to the second step.”
He said solemnly: “When I first came here, you already showed me the strength of your base and the level of development. To be honest, it was quite unexpected to me, and even made me feel a little unbelievable. You established The base should only last for about three months, right? But looking at the development of your base, it doesn’t look like a newly established base, and even surpasses the capital base in some respects. It’s really surprising, I even I wonder how you did it. When I entered the base, I saw the drone on it. It was not picked up at any supermarket. As my own position, although I really want to know the secret, But as a friend of Gu Ning, it violated my principle of being a human being. But the people who came with me have long eyes. When they go back, they will report exactly what they see here. This There is nothing I can do. Although the capital base really wants to merge the oasis base, I believe you will not compromise, but you have shown your strength to the capital base, and at the same time you are declaring how delicious the oasis base is. Cake. Even if the capital base can’t swallow the whole cake, it will definitely take a big bite.”
The third brother also said seriously: “We are willing to give the capital base some benefits in exchange for peace between the two bases, but we also hope that the capital base can understand that our acceptance is also limited.”
Brother Ji Qi smiled slightly and said, “Then we need to negotiate with each other.”
At this time, Gu Ning intervened and said, “Brother Seven, what is the bottom line on the capital base?”
Brother Ji Qi was stunned by Gu Ning’s question, and then looked at Gu Ning with a wry smile and said: “Gu Ning, don’t forget that I am now the representative of the capital base. Besides, I was here today to threaten you and threaten you to take the sovereignty of the base. I didn’t expect to get to this point directly. So I have to go back to the meeting and discuss the results.” He paused, suddenly looked at the third brother and said in confusion: “But you just introduced yourself to you. It’s the deputy base commander, who is the base commander of the base?”
Suddenly everyone in the meeting room looked in the same direction.
Brother Ji Qi followed his gaze and couldn’t help taking a breath. He looked at someone with a helpless look in amazement and said, “Gu Ning, shouldn’t you be the head of the oasis base?”
Gu Ning really said helplessly: “I was forced to be helpless.”
Gu Ning really didn’t want to be the head of the base, but the third brother forced her to hang up this false name. She did not agree, but the third brother only agreed to call it the deputy head of the base, and everyone agreed to Gu Ningcai. It’s the base chief, although it’s just a nominal base chief. Gu Ning was also quite helpless about this result.
Although Ji Zaotang usually came to the Oasis Base frequently, he had no idea that Gu Ning was the base chief. At this time, he looked at Gu Ning with shock, and said shockedly after a long time: “Gu Ning, you are too awesome. Forced!”
Gu Ning hadn’t explained his desire for the base chief to be just a named honorary base chief.
In order to express the intensity and difficulty of the meeting, Brother Ji did not leave so early. Everyone put aside their identities and ate lunch happily together. Big fish and meat are indispensable.
As for the officials who were confined in the room, they were not treated so well. Lunch was just a bowl of white rice with a small plate of pickles and a plate of green vegetables. They were eating while analyzing the situation in the next meeting room, but they were anxious and nervous, but they did not expect that at this time, Ji Qi and Ji Zaotang were chatting with Gu Ning and the others at the dinner table.
After Gu Ning got the promise from Brother Ji Qi, he took him and Ji Zaotang around the base, including the base market, hospitals, canteens, orphanages, and schools. Brother Ji Qi looked at pedestrians who were walking on the road at will, neatly dressed and energetic, no different from those before the end of the world, and sighed to Gu Ning: “It’s amazing enough that you can build such a large base, the base. The internal construction is even more shocking, and it provides voluntary support for widows, elderly and orphans, and provides children with educational opportunities. You have even done things that the capital base has not had time to do. It is really let me. Somewhat speechless.” At this time, a team of twenty guards passed by, and the guards strode forward while paying a standard military salute to this side. Brother Ji Qi shook his head, looked at Gu Ning with a complicated face, and said, “In time, your base will probably overtake the three bases in the capital.”
“Isn’t this a good thing?” Gu Ning asked with a smile.
Brother Ji Qi said helplessly: “I only hope that the Oasis Base and the Capital Base can reach a consensus, find a balance, live in peace, and work together for development and progress.”
Gu Ning said with a smile: “Then it depends on your and my efforts.”
Brother Ji Qi also laughed, and suddenly he was a little lucky that he was here today.
The people from the capital base came and left. The third brother and the others, who had been straining for a day, relaxed slightly.
However, Jia Daochang repeatedly called fortune and sighed that Gu Ning had a good communication, and he happened to know the representative of the capital base. Otherwise, today must be an extremely difficult day. Gu Ning also felt that it was really fortunate that he was so lucky to ran into the Ji Qi brother who was so close. This was really beneficial to them.
Jia Daochang said: “The next time these people come back, it won’t be so easy. We must be psychologically prepared. The people in the capital base may have to cut our flesh.”
A cold light flashed in Gu Ning’s eyes: “Then we have to let them know that the meat on our bodies is not so easy to cut.” The third brother said to Zhang Xiaobai: “Xiaobai, you go and inform, the base will start martial law today. No one is allowed to enter or leave the base without authorization, and from now on temporarily stop accepting survivors outside.”
Zhang Xiaobai took orders.
Jia Daochang couldn’t help sighing and said: “These comfortable days are really not going to be a few days away, and the trouble will come again. Not only do you have to deal with these people if you want to kill the zombies, it is really a headache.”
The third brother laughed, and said to Dao Chang Jia: “You are content with Dao Chang! Think about it when we hid in the past, isn’t it the same as in heaven now.”
Daochang Jia suddenly enlightened, haha smiled and said, “That’s what I said!”
