"Sorry for being late, because this is a two-in-one chapter! 》
Yunding Villa is as festive as the New Year.
Surviving in the last days is an extremely difficult thing. Even if you become an evolver, the chance of death is actually not much lower than that of ordinary people. After all, you have to fight, kill zombies, and kill mutant life forms. But these are extremely dangerous things, and you can die if you are not careful.
Just like Ye Zhongming in his previous life, as a six-star evolver, didn't he accidentally die at the hands of an insect man?
So the end of the world will bring the ugliness in human nature to the extreme, because everyone has no sense of security. At this moment, everyone is on tenterhooks, not knowing whether they will be alive tomorrow, and indulges in the body's The evil side is inevitable.
Of course, this is not a reason to do evil, because humans themselves are advanced, wise and rational. If they indulge their instincts, they will be no different from animals.
To survive, food is necessary. This is the prerequisite for everything. When Yunding Villa set its target at the Yingchun County Grain Depot, it received almost all approval and support. Everyone knows that food is the foundation of everything. We don’t know what will happen tomorrow. Under any circumstances, it is important to fill your stomach. Only when you are not hungry can you have the energy to do other things.
So even though the team suffered heavy losses, when the carts of food drove into the villa, they still received thunderous cheers, and everyone's face was filled with big smiles.
The first meal after the operation is naturally the most sumptuous. There is enough rice, white flour steamed buns, and canned meats on the table. Even those who like to drink will get a small glass of wine.
On this day, many people had the most comfortable night since the end of the world began.
Ye Zhongming said a few words to everyone in the restaurant and then went out to check the post. He would not be complacent and relax his vigilance just because he got some food. There were many forces around the villa staring at him eagerly. Waiting until the battle of the grain depot After the news spread. Under greed, whatever happens to Ye Zhongming will not be surprising.
In this case, the only thing you can do is to be yourself.
After checking around the entire villa, Ye Zhongming returned to the house where he lived. Xia Lei, Lu Yi, Mo Ye, Tang Tian, and Sister Rong were already waiting for him at the door.
This is the temporary management of the villa. Each person is responsible for a part and supports the operation of the base.
Xia Lei is similar to a housekeeper, she knows how to ask about everything and can intervene in everything. This is related to her experience as a civilian in the Armed Police Force. She had played such a role as a deputy in charge before.
And Mo Ye has now occupied the position of leader of the base's armed forces. She has applied her experience and methods of managing special teams during her time in the job to the base, and the results have been very good. Xiaohu is her assistant, and the two of them work together to take care of the training and life of the base soldiers. All aspects are well managed.
Although Lu Yi is old, he has been in business for many years. He is shrewd, sees the situation clearly, and is steady in his work. Ye Zhongming now leaves some external matters to him, such as the deal with the black team, which is now handled by Lu Yi. In addition, he also helped Tang Tian manage ordinary people, letting Tang Tian and his deputy Xiang Tao become familiar with some common management methods.
Tang Tian joined the team relatively late, but he is loyal, not stupid, and never soft when he needs to be tough. He is quite appreciated by Ye Zhongming, and Candy is obviously protected and treated with great care. It also made this man determined to help Ye Zhongming. Every day I lead those ordinary people to the construction site and do their best.
Sister Rong is responsible for logistics and some trivial things. Women are more careful in this regard. Her previous job in the company was similar to this. Many women who had been hurt were also assigned to work under her, which was considered a kind of protection allowed by Ye Zhongming. After all, the base would become bigger and the population would increase, and he would not be able to take good care of many things. Sister Rong would be there to support her. . Women who have been persecuted and abused in the past will not be victimized again due to some accidents.
These people are the management of the base, but the core members around Ye Zhongming are still those who have followed him here through life and death. In addition to Xia Lei and Mo Ye, Xiaohuliang Chuyin Pu Xiuying Sheng Yuanle Dayuan and other talents are The team, their status in the base is very transcendent. As for other people who want to enter this circle, it will take some time and some things.
"This time our losses were very serious. Thirteen one-star evolutionaries died and two were disabled. Forty-five ordinary soldiers died and six were disabled. The food transport team lost 21 people and almost all the ammunition was used up. .”
As soon as Mo Ye sat down, she told Ye Zhongming about today's situation. It was obvious that these numbers had been lingering in her mind for a long time.
As the person in charge of the base's armed forces, Mo Ye knew that today was a victory for the entire base, but it was dark for the guards.
Before, the number of one-star evolvers in the Villa was less than forty, but now so many died, their strength was greatly reduced, and there was an urgent need to replenish fresh blood, otherwise the core defense strength of the Villa would be greatly reduced.
Although the number of ordinary people who were subjectively willing to fight before continued to increase, they were only around 150 people, and this time there was only one third less.
With such losses added up, Mo Ye couldn't help but be anxious.
Ye Zhongming nodded, "Those who are disabled will be given some easy things to do after their injuries improve. We will support them in the future."
Others agree that these people were disabled for the base, and they deserve to be taken care of, and this can also send a message to everyone-if they work wholeheartedly for the base, the base will not treat them badly.
Although in the apocalypse, many bases always abandon those who have no use value, but Ye Zhongming is not prepared to do so, because what he needs is not a base based on force taming, but a base that can truly A base that is united and willing to stand up for itself and the base at the risk of their lives in any situation. This requires him to work harder on people's hearts. It is the most basic thing to ensure the life of those injured due to meritorious service.
"As for the replenishment of evolvers, go back and carefully select those who you think are suitable to become evolvers. Count the number and report it to me, and I will give you the evolution potion."
Mo Ye agreed. She knew that Ye Zhongming had a lot of one-star evolution potions. If he wanted to, he could make the villa have hundreds of evolvers at once, but she also understood the principle of cultivating kindness and enmity. Evolution potions cannot be given casually.
Then Tang Tian, Lu Yi and Xia Lei also talked about some things about the base, and Ye Zhongming replied one by one. Although he had never managed the base in his previous life. But having lived in the base for many years, he naturally knew how a good base should be run. Many views were completely different from those in peacetime. He needed to remind these people to avoid problems.
"Zhong Ming. There is no news about Xia Bai yet..." Sister Rong waited until everyone finished talking about the matter, then worriedly mentioned Xia Bai's problem.
Ye Zhongming frowned directly.
Naturally, he would not forget Xia Bai. He was a thug he had deliberately trained. He had gone to snipe the enemy but never returned. Ye Zhongming was also anxious. He had just gone to inspect the surroundings and had some luck to see what was going on outside.
In fact, in the end of the world, this situation can basically declare the death of a survivor. With Xia Bai's loyalty, if he doesn't come back. The possibility of anything other than death is very low.
Women like Sister Rong were all in love with Xia Bai, and naturally cared about him. Even though she knew in her heart that Xia Bai might be in trouble, she still thought about the only hope left.
"Tell our hunting team that when they go hunting, they should add an additional task to find Xia Bai."
The hunting team is an armed team in the base. When there is no guard duty, they will take turns to kill zombies and mutant life forms, improve their combat effectiveness and collect magic crystals.
Mo Ye agreed, she also knew that Ye Zhongming valued Xia Bai very much, and that woman was doing things that were inconvenient for them to do.
"Uncle Lu, look for Yuan Shang. Send out a reward, five bottles of evolution potion and five bottles of immunity potion. We want news about Xia Bai."
Lu Yi nodded, thinking about going back and using the military radio he found to contact Yuan Shang. The thing was said to have been found from an infantry vehicle, and it was ready to use after Ye Zhongming fiddled with it for a while.
The next day, Mo Ye handed a list to Ye Zhongming. It was mentioned that the people who could be rewarded with evolutionary potions were ordinary warriors who performed well in this battle and passed the assessment in other aspects. The number was Thirty-five. Among ordinary people, Mo Ye and Tang Tian jointly selected a hundred people to join the team.
In this way, the number of one-star evolvers will reach about fifty, while the number of ordinary warriors will increase to two hundred.
Ye Zhongming directly gave Mo Ye forty bottles of evolution potions. The remaining five bottles were asked to be rewarded to qualified people at any time depending on the situation. The new ordinary warriors will also receive immunity potions according to regulations. For this, they need to go to Sister Rong. Got it there.
Lu Yi gave Ye Zhongming a copy of the assessment of the strength of the surrounding forces after yesterday's battle with monsters from Yuan Shang, and a reward for finding Xia Bai was also issued.
"This time, the losses to Dongshankou Village, the Lou family and the Hungry Tiger Knights were considerable. It seems that this monster is really powerful." After Xia Lei saw the report, her eyes turned to Ye Zhongming. Ye Zhongming's choice to attack the grain depot was really for food, and he took advantage of a few forces. But now it seems that this little man knew that there should not be touched easily? So why did you simply reject Yuan Shang's proposal?
Ye Zhongming looked at the report carefully and knew that it would definitely not be too accurate. Everyone would have a trump card. It was definitely not something that outsiders could know. However, some things could be analyzed from it, and it still had reference value.
"The only person who was really injured in this operation was the Hungry Tiger Knight."
Showing this information to Sister Xia Lei, Lu Yirong and Liang Chuyin Candy, who were also in the room, Ye Zhongming said: "Whether it is Dongshankou Village or the Lou family, they are all forces based on families or gathering places. There are many, and the cohesion is strong. After these days of development, the strength is pretty good. If we have to compare the number of evolvers, we may not be our opponents for the time being. Although many people died this time, the overall strength has not declined much."
"But the Hungry Tiger Knights can't do it. They have too few people and are not good at management. They guard a cement factory as a treasure. Even if there is a roulette there, it is definitely not a good place for sustainable development. This time his Nearly half of the people have been lost, and the strength has been greatly reduced. If there is no miracle, there will probably be one less force around."
Hearing what Ye Zhongming said, everyone nodded. The formation of the Hungry Tiger Knights seemed to everyone to be a bit of a joke. They had won tit-for-tat against the Science and Technology City team. That was because they were lucky. They didn't know where they got a few. A professional certificate, using the advantages of the profession to make the Science and Technology City team suffer.
But now, the Science and Technology City team is rapidly increasing its strength, but the Hungry Tiger Knight is injured due to this action. If you think about it, you know that the Science and Technology City team, which is the mortal enemy, will never let go of this opportunity.
"But Dongshankou Village and the Lou family are somewhat interesting."
Ye Zhongming touched his chin and recalled the memories of these two forces in his previous life. He knew more about Dongshankou Village. After all, the Dongshan Chapter was also famous in the previous life, and the craftsmen in that Chapter were also respected by other forces, and Uncle Hai was a first-class master.
The Lou family seemed to have been destroyed by a beast tide in its previous life. Ye Zhongming is not sure exactly when, but according to some people who have stayed here for a long time. His strength is pretty good, and he also has some marksmanship passed down from his ancestors. A red tassel spear can already match a martial skill.
"Uncle Lu, there may be something that requires you to run."
Ye Zhongming thought for a while and made some decisions in his mind.
"you say."
"Go to Dongshankou Village and contact them to see if you can exchange food for weapons, firearms, bullets, etc., and don't need anything else. If they can sell modified firearms, then we can also provide magic crystals in exchange. I’ll give you a bottom line after thinking about the specific exchange ratio.”
Lu Yi likes doing business and is a little eager to try it.
"Don't relax in monitoring Zhang Dalong, but be careful not to be discovered by them." Ye Zhongming warned Mo Ye again. Ye Zhongming has always paid the highest attention to Zhang Dalong, the future nine-star powerhouse.
"What about the Retail Chamber of Commerce? This force is quite mysterious. It appeared in the battle at the arsenal yesterday. Do we want to investigate it?" Xia Lei asked, waving the information on each force in her hand.
Ye Zhongming immediately shook his head. "That is not a force we can touch now. We are too weak in front of them. Stay away from them."
Everyone looked at each other and felt different. They have never seen Ye Zhongming admire a force so highly.
"Zhong Ming, they are very powerful, but we are no match either?"
Ye Zhongming looked at Liang Chuyin and smiled: "We are strong, but we are not invincible. Besides, those people from the Retail Chamber of Commerce... they do everything they can to evolve. Many of their practices are cruel and inhumane. It is not an exaggeration to describe them, so they will be ahead of all human beings for the time being, but it is only temporary, and those evil ways will never become the right path."
"I hope we won't provoke them. Our base still needs some time to develop." Candy prayed quietly with a pair of big eyes.
"Then I will inform the following that the retail merchants will not conflict with them. If you can, give in."
Ye Zhongming nodded and agreed with Mo Ye's words, but his face immediately changed: "They are indeed strong at this stage, but if they touch our core interests, we don't have to be afraid, we can just fight. If we really have to fight for our lives, what if we are strong? If we don’t care about the gains and losses, I am at least 60 to 70% sure of killing them."
Everyone felt excited. They all knew what it meant when Ye Zhongming said the words "strong". They valued the Retail Chamber of Commerce above Zhang Dalong in Yingcheng Prison. But even so, this young man The leader still sent a clear signal that there is no one he can't kill no matter how hard he fights.
This gave the following people great confidence, because in their hearts, they did not know how powerful Ye Zhongming was, but these few words undoubtedly showed that for the time being, no one has any power to let this young leader fear.
At noon, after so many days of construction, the foundations of the city walls on both sides of the main entrance of the villa were laid. This made many people extremely excited. After all, this meant that in the future, the base would be protected by huge and solid city walls. Life will be more secure.
However, the arrival of several successive messages silenced the core and senior members of the base.
At 18 o'clock, we received news that an armed team of more than 200 people from Yingcheng Prison was heading towards Yunding Villa. The leader was Meng Lin, a murderer known as the "Evil Tower". He was here last time Hu Zhao, who had blackmailed the villa, was among the team.
After receiving the news at Blackjack, the hunting team discovered a group of more than 20,000 corpses appearing from the direction of Yingcheng. Judging from the route forward, they would reach Yunding Mountain in seven days, and there were many level 3 zombies among them.
At 12 noon the next day, Lu Yi, who had arrived at Dongshankou Village, used a military radio to send back the message that Dongshankou Village had no intention of agreeing to the food-for-weapons proposal, and he was making a last-ditch effort.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, using the same radio, Dongshankou Village sent a message to Yunding Villa, formally rejecting the offer of grain exchange for weapons, detaining Lu Yihe's ten-man team, and proposing a redemption condition of ten thousand kilograms of grain.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Shang and his motorcade arrived at Yunding Villa and brought a letter from the leader of the Science and Technology City team, 'Dakai'. The letter had only one meaning, which was to exchange food for shelter, and the threat was obvious.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Yuan Shang, who had just left for two hours, sent a message through the radio given by Ye Zhongming. Xia Bai fell into the hands of the Lou family and was currently taken back to the base of the lake island. He was seriously injured and could die at any time.
The bad news comes one after another, making everyone who is qualified to know anxious. The grumpy Xiaohu Shengyuan and others have already put forward the suggestion of sending troops to teach these forces who want to take advantage, especially the seizure Dongshankou Village of hostage blackmail!
The calmer people proposed to take a long-term approach, because there are too many crises, and if they are not handled well, the base that just seemed to have some appearance will be destroyed.
But both the irritable and the calm people have realized one thing.
Since the establishment of Yunding Villa, the biggest crisis has come. (To be continued.)
