In this world, the human heart is the most difficult to measure.
Li Yu had never thought about making the base more powerful. It was just a small corner. If he really encountered a strong enemy that he could not resist, the base would be burned down and he would take revenge.
But as time goes by and the base develops, as the person in charge of the base, he feels that there are many more factors to consider.
The burden on his shoulders pushed him forward.
But he always firmly believes that people's hearts are unpredictable, and only the barrel of a gun is the absolute strength.
If you don’t have enough control, it will backfire if you develop too much.
Therefore, he is very cautious about this.
The establishment of the four levels was also Li Yu's initial test of the waters to fulfill his ideas.
If a problem arises, with his personality, he may directly solve the problem directly with the person who caused the problem, and there is no room for sand in his eyes.
After handing the things to Lao Qin, the third uncle took the two brothers Li Gang and several others to send Lao Qin and others out of the outer city.
If Uncle Qin and others were directly allowed to join the outer city, other non-staff personnel would definitely be dissatisfied.
Pay attention to fairness.
Moreover, although Li Yu has a certain understanding of people like Lao Qin so far, it is not in-depth enough and he needs to take another look.
Little did they know that He Chao and the others had gone through so many things before they entered the outer city step by step.
As for how to take care of people like Lao Qin in the future, that is a matter for later. Some things on the table should be more fair.
After Lao Qin went out, he chose the house opposite He Bing and the others so that they could take care of each other.
After handling all this, the sky gradually darkened, and the house Lao Qin and the others chose had three and a half floors.
There is a small courtyard with a height of two meters, and a large double-open iron gate is installed. There are iron fences on the windows on the first floor, which looks safer.
The three-and-a-half-story building covers an area of about 150 square meters and has 10 rooms, which is enough to accommodate 29 of them.
Lao Qin stood in the small courtyard, watching the sunset. Behind him, Ahong and others were cleaning the house.
There is a well in the yard. After taking some water to divert it, the water that came out after pressing it was yellow at first.
But after a while, the water became clear.
But they didn't dare to drink it directly. Instead, they set up tin cans and boiled it before drinking it.
Lao Zhou loved to drink before the end of the world. After the wine Li Yu handed to Lao Qin just now, he became extremely greedy.
On the way here, they took a quick look and found that there were very few zombies around.
Perhaps Li Yu and others often go out, and the personnel on duty sent by He Chao are also near the national highway.
In addition, occasionally some personnel who cooperate with the base often come to the base.
So many of the zombies here have been cleared away.
It's much safer.
It is originally a rural area far away from the city. Even if it is close to the national highway, there are far fewer zombies than in the city.
Unless it's during heavy rain, the zombies' sense of smell increases sharply and they can smell places with more humans, which triggers a zombie wave.
This is also the reason why it is difficult to have a larger base in the end of the world.
No matter how many people there are, if the defense system is not built enough, the greater the population, the more zombies will be attracted, and the pressure on defense will become very great.
Just like in a city with a population of tens of millions before the end of the world, it would be easy for a million-level zombie wave to break out.
This level of zombie tide, layer upon layer, can easily overwhelm a base.
The hilly landscape in the south is already mountainous and forested, with many trees, which limits the scale of the zombie wave to some extent.
But even so, whenever it rains heavily, the zombie wave that breaks out is already so terrifying, with zombies swarming from dozens of kilometers around.
What's more, it's a big city before the end of the world.
More people are more powerful, but more people also have bigger targets, and more zombies can be easily attracted.
Therefore, in the apocalypse, there are some lone wolves or micro-small groups, but the defensive pressure is not so great.
When Lao Qin saw Lao Zhou's eyes, he knew what he wanted to do.
Although what Li Yu just said was given to him personally, Lao Zhou also knew that Li Yu gave these things to him for the sake of his third uncle Li Yu.
Therefore, everyone is embarrassed to ask Lao Qin to separate.
But their eyes were as green as a wolf.
be envious.
These bastards!
Lao Qin smiled and scolded: "Let the big guy come over."
Lao Zhou quickly shouted upstairs: "Gather, gather."
Tap tap tap tap~
There were dense footsteps, especially when he called them to gather before, he was not so active. Lao Qin cursed in his heart.
Then he opened the carton of cigarettes and took out ten packs. After thinking about it, I took out another six packs.
Let Lao Zhou share it equally with everyone.
Then he took out three pieces of bacon and asked Ah Huang, who was preparing to cook, to chop them up and put them in the rice.
Originally, Li Yu should have given them the amount of rice, but since they had already added non-staff personnel and turned the rice into rice, they did not have special equipment.
So simply, Li Yu processed these directly and gave them to them.
Although rice can be stored for a longer period of time, rice can normally be stored for more than a year.
Just this rice, for people like them, can be eaten in a few months, not to mention a year.
Ah Huang took the bacon and everyone's faces were beaming with joy.
They all shouted: "Old Qin is so awesome."
"Old Qin, I love you."
It's been a year and a half since the apocalypse began, and they haven't known what meat tastes like for nearly a year.
The liquor Li Yu gave Lao Qin was Zhanggong Laojiu. It was the kind that had an old packaging but was slightly yellowish in color.
It's good wine.
There are very few people who have served in the military who don't know how to drink. What's more, veterans like them drink a little wine every now and then after being transferred from the army to civilians.
Most of them are wine mengzi.
But now I can't drink too much, I can only pay for a taste.
Each person had one or two bottles, and Lao Qin took out three bottles to share with everyone.
As for some people who don't drink, then you can exchange cigarettes with those who like to drink. If there are people who don't drink or smoke, then exchange them with bacon.
Thinking about it this way, Lao Qin suddenly felt that Li Yu was really considerate.
Lao Zhou is a northerner. He uses two ounces of mouthwash. One pound feels a little bit better, but two pounds is about the same.
So he changed the amount to five taels and drank a little.
Lao Qin also considered that everyone would drink too much, so he didn't give too much to everyone.
Among them, most of those who can drink drink more than two taels.
One or two drinks, just two or three sips, and it was a bit reluctant even though I was tipsy.
There are six people who don't drink, so it saves trouble, and they happen to be on duty tonight.
After this distribution, everyone dispersed like birds and beasts, each going to clean the room.
Discipline is something they still maintain.
This is also an important reason why although their number is small, they can still carry it until now.
The moon is sparse and the moonlight is very bright tonight.
Standing in the middle of the courtyard, Lao Qin could see his own reflection.
The moonlight is so bright that you can see clearly in the yard without turning on the lights.
The big pot of rice is ready to be steamed.
The aroma of bacon mixed with the aroma of rice made everyone even hungrier.
The bacon is also very simple, not chopped too finely.
The three pieces of bacon were directly cut into thirty pieces. Lao Qin had two pieces each. After all, it was his thing, and everyone else had one piece.
Lao Zhou sat directly on the steps of the courtyard, holding an iron ear-hanging cup with five taels of wine in it, which he had exchanged for cigarettes.
Although he felt a little distressed, he wanted to drink some wine.
There is also Lao Qin's share in it. Although he drinks, he doesn't want to drink now. The brothers are all here and he has to stay awake.
Like him, he is a bit old, has no children, and often drinks.
Some may think he is drinking to drown his sorrows.
However, only he knew that he did not need to smoke cigarettes, and that he did not need to drink too much wine. Drinking slowly and maintaining a tipsy state would be great.
He had also thought about what if after he retired, there would be a few friends sitting around the fire, chatting, occasionally sipping some old wine, lying down on the kang when he was sleepy, and dreaming of sleep.
The taste is very beautiful just thinking about it.
Wine is the essence of food.
It is good to drink without drinking for others.
It is better not to drink just to get drunk.
A lot of tipsy, half-drunk is too much.
Drink alone, or chat and drink with two or three friends.
Stealing half a day's leisure is the true meaning of wine.
The night is dark.
The roar of the zombies is a little far away, but if you listen carefully, it's a little closer.
Some people drank some wine and were a little excited, but they did not dare to make too much noise. They were all looking forward to their future lives.
Lao Qin was sitting quietly by the well in the yard, smoking a cigarette.
No one dares to get drunk, and no one gets drunk.
In this silent night, the sound of zombies naturally put a shackles on them.
Ah Hong doesn't like drinking, so he is also on duty tonight.
After he came down from the roof, he walked to Lao Qin and said, "Gong Qin, we just observed on the roof. The zombies are very far away from us, a few hundred meters away, and there are only three of them. It shouldn't be a problem."
Lao Qin exhaled smoke and said: "Okay, you will check the big iron gate in the yard later. Then the big iron gate of the house must be locked after everyone enters."
The intercom is on your side. If anything happens, we can contact Mr. Li and others. Be careful tonight. "
A Hong nodded, indicating that he would be careful and pay attention.
"Yeah." Lao Qin replied, then got up and walked into the house.
He got up very early today, and he had to be on duty in the middle of the night, so he went to bed early.
The night is so alluring, but people in the apocalypse rarely sit quietly and enjoy the scenery under the moonlight.
At night, the moonlight shines on the earth, casting a mysterious color on the buildings.
Most of the buildings that have been abandoned for more than a year have a dilapidated feel. They are sparsely populated and less popular. Plants grow in spring and moss begins to appear on many walls.
That night, it wasn't just Lao Qin and the others who were happy, there was another house less than twenty meters away from them.
He Bing and the others also had enough to eat and drink, and slowly entered their dreams with longing for a better future.
