After setting the tone for Xu Feng's matter, Lao Xu changed the topic: "But before launching revenge, we have to protect ourselves first. Lao Zhao and Xiao Tang said this very well just now. Fighting a war does not rely solely on courage and determination. . You can’t act without detailed planning. I’ll make it clear here, and I hope everyone can exercise restraint. Don’t do anything that damages the interests of the team. Don’t sneak out under the pretext of revenge for Shen Lian. If you do something like this Well, everyone is still busy trying to save you! If you think this is feasible, then just do it! Okay, let’s stop talking nonsense, I’ll arrange the tasks for tomorrow.”
"Tomorrow our first task is to build a defensive fence outside the camp, which requires the use of timber. Old Zhao, take the lead and lead people to cut down the trees."
"No problem, leave this to me."
"Well, Lei Zi, Xiao Duan, you each pick two people to be responsible for the safety of people going out."
"clear!"
"Wei Yang, please hurry up and count the amount of supplies we have on hand."
"OK."
Compared with safety, what Lao Xu is most worried about now is material supplies.
After all, in terms of safety, as time goes by and through slow construction, he has the confidence to build corresponding camps in the mountains and forests.
But food and drink are non-renewable resources. They were walking in a hurry this time. Although Old Zhao had tried their best to carry them, the amount they could carry on their way up the mountain was still limited.
You know, the current survivor team is not the small group of 3 or 5 people back then. Their team now has more than 20 people, and the daily consumption of these people is not a small number.
In addition, the initial construction requires a lot of physical labor, so you definitely have to ensure everyone has enough food.
Otherwise, the house will not be built well and people will collapse.
But to do this, material support is needed.
Lao Xu didn't think it could be achieved with the resources he brought.
As a result, going out to buy goods has become an unavoidable problem.
But the problem is that there are zombies everywhere down the mountain, and there are no one knows how many wandering beasts there are on the mountain.
To put it harshly, Lao Xu and the others felt in a bit of a dilemma.
It is easy for them to go up the mountain, but difficult to go down the mountain.
If you want to go down the mountain, you may be ambushed by zombies at any time.
If one of them is not good, the entire army will be wiped out, and the base camp will be affected because of insufficient security.
But if you don’t go down the mountain, how will you solve the problem of food?
This seems to be an endless loop with no solution.
"Everyone go back and report the status of the firearms and ammunition to Lao Lin. Lao Lin, please register."
"Sure! Come to my place to register after eating." Lao Lin took advantage of the situation and said to everyone.
After thinking about it, I felt that I had said everything I needed to say, so Lao Xu concluded: "That's it. Everyone has worked hard today. Go to bed early at night. Remember that you must get enough sleep to survive in the jungle, otherwise there will be big problems. of."
yes! The jungle is no better than the city. There are no facilities. Even the most basic accommodation for human beings can only live in caves.
The only thing that made Lao Xu feel lucky was that it was the middle of winter. Otherwise, in the summer, the mosquitoes in the forest would be enough to kill the team.
"Oh, by the way, if you wake up at night, please remember to say hello to the night watchman to avoid any trouble."
The visibility in the jungle at night is extremely poor, and in order to prevent zombie attacks, Lao Xu implemented a light control.
So once someone gets up at night and comes out, they will most likely be mistaken for a zombie by the night watchmen and killed.
This is no joke. Similar situations have often occurred in the military throughout history.
Especially during World War II, when the two sides were mixed in the jungle, they would "fight" whenever there was any disturbance.
At that time, people were highly nervous and lacked sleep. It was impossible for their minds to carefully confirm the identity of the person coming. Basically, they just wanted to kill first.
The current situation of the survivor team members is also the same. A day of continuous fighting has not only exhausted everyone, but the continuously tense nerves have also caused them to have an instinctive reaction to the abnormal movements around them.
Lao Xu didn't want to wait until he woke up one night to find a few more corpses of his brothers around the camp.
"Lao Xu, how do you plan to stay vigil tonight?"
"Stay with the Sharp Knife Company, Xiao Hu, Acheng, Da Zhuang, Lao Ye..." After ordering 6 relatively strong ones, Lao Xu ordered the others to sleep.
After that, the selected team members except the sharp knife company were arranged in groups of three for handover.
At this point, today’s daily routine is over.
Next, the familiar sound of chewing came again.
No one said anything, and everyone was so heavy-hearted that they didn’t know what they were thinking.
But there is no doubt that tonight will be an unforgettable night for every survivor team member.
In just one day, they not only lost the village they had worked hard to build for several months, but also paid the price of one death and one injury.
In particular, Shen Lian's sacrifice greatly shocked everyone.
After eating and serving, Lao Xu urged everyone to go back to their respective pits to rest.
He is very aware of the importance of jungle sleep to survivors. The special team is short of supplies. If they don't get enough rest at this time and are eroded by bacteria, they will be in big trouble.
Of course, keeping warm is also very important. Fortunately, there are enough sleeping bags on the mountain. Although it cannot be guaranteed for each person, except for the night watch brothers, it is just enough for the rest of the people to sleep.
This can be regarded as the only pleasant thing among the many misfortunes today.
After confirming that everyone went back to the house to rest, Lao Xu walked to the temporary medical center where Luo Zhicai was.
This was Lao Zhao's special order. Although it was a bit luxurious to have a separate room as a medical center, everyone knew the risk of Jungle getting sick.
Therefore, providing maximum support to medical facilities is undoubtedly a common sense and correct decision.
"How is Chaozi?" Opening the temporary curtain, Lao Xu stepped in.
Hearing Lao Xu's voice, Luo Zhicai, who was sitting quietly to monitor Wu Chao, stood up, made a silence gesture, pulled Lao Xu aside, and then whispered back: "I just gave him a drop of water, and the medicine is taking effect. Already asleep."
"Well," nodded, Lao Xu took a deep breath: "Sleep well, it will make you less painful. Well... how is the fever now? Has it not gone away yet?"
Zhang Zhicai touched his forehead: "It has receded a little. It will take some time for the medicine to take effect. Judging from the current situation, as long as the wound is not dry and infected, the problem will not be solved."
"Okay! Chaozi, I'll leave it to you! If you need any treatment, please contact Weiyang directly. Use whatever you need, and make sure his wounds don't interfere!"
As a person who lives in the jungle, Lao Xu is very aware of the consequences of forest-infected wounds.
That's why he specifically told Luo Zhicai that he didn't want the latter to delay Wu Chao's treatment because he followed the "sparing" rule.
As for Wu Chao, he must not have any more problems.
Otherwise, if he has another problem, the whole team will really explode.
Although he had suppressed everyone's thoughts of revenge with his words just now, Lao Xu understood that some team members were still dissatisfied.
This is, just a small fuse can set them off. (To be continued.)
