The volcano was about to erupt. After Li Yu agreed to Xiao Jun and others entering the base, he also thought of some of the personnel currently stationed in Xincheng.
So I found He Chao and asked him about the current situation.
"How many of us are outside now?"
He Chao calculated and thought for a while before saying: "Zhuzi, Deng Ben and other personnel stationed near the national highway, there are still 6 people in total."
Li Yu pondered for a moment, then walked out of the room, feeling a wave of heat coming over him.
The cold air in the room went straight outside. Li Yu immediately closed the door, frowned and said, "Let them all come back tomorrow."
At the moment, although there is no news from the Western Conference, there is not much need at the moment.
After all, in such a hot weather, people can't stay outside for long. Walking a long distance, you have to shed your skin even if you don't die.
He Chao was very happy when he heard what Li Yu said. He had wanted to apply for this with Li Yu two days ago. After all, staying outside in such a hot day was just looking for trouble.
Now they can finally return.
However, in addition to the personnel stationed outside in the outer city, some non-staff personnel have recently moved to the vicinity of the Da Zhangshu base.
In the past, as long as it rained heavily for several days, the Da Zhangshu Base would provide them with shelter and wait until the rainstorm was over before allowing them to go out on their own.
This has always been done before.
But this time, there was no precedent for hot weather, so He Chao was also debating whether to mention it or not.
Li Yu saw He Chao still in a daze, so he asked: "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"
He Chao hesitated for a moment. According to Li Yu's strictness in personnel management in the past, he couldn't understand Li Yu's ideas. He was a little tangled, but finally decided to talk about it.
"Mr. Li, what about the other non-staff personnel?"
He Chao was a little nervous. He didn't know if asking like this would arouse Li Yu's resentment.
Li Yu recalled this time's high temperature, volcanic eruption, followed by a long period of darkness, zombie tide, and subsequent acid rain.
In this wave, the number of survivors in the world, which was already small, has dropped sharply again.
He has no control over other places, but here in Xincheng, most of the surrounding survivors have cooperated with the base.
Moreover, their recognition of the Da Zhangshu Base is also quite high.
Li Yu hesitated for a while and remembered the second outer city that had just been built. Although it was completed, he had not moved in yet.
Although the environment is better than that of the First Outer City, which has not been built for a long time, at least the rooms on the first floor still have air conditioning.
The non-staff personnel must be saved.
It's just a question of whether other personnel who cooperate with the base should be rescued.
The Da Zhangshu base cannot be a shelter, providing protection for free.
And if there are too many people, it will be quite troublesome to manage.
However, the location of the Da Zhangshu base has long been known to those who have been staying in Xincheng for a long time.
These people who have cooperated with the Da Zhangshu Base, although the base only has a cooperative relationship with them, they exchange various materials for food, and they are not owed anything, which is fair.
Li Yu has no obligation to save them.
However, from the perspective of the future of the base, it is necessary for the future development of these people. If they all die, who can we cooperate with for the Da Zhangshu Base?
Furthermore, in some major difficult moments, the Da Zhangshu Base provides protection to those who cooperate with the base in order to strengthen their sense of identification with the base.
The influence of the Da Zhangshu Base is enhanced through things like this.
There is no need to provide them with food, but to provide them with a shelter. Li Yu thinks this can still be done.
So he said to He Chao: "Later, you can sort out the list of people who have cooperated with the base in the past two years and see how many people there are."
In the end, Li Yu decided to let these people come in, collect weapons and vehicles, and then centrally manage the residential buildings in the second outer city. There should be no problem in sending people to manage them.
He Chao looked at Li Yu with some surprise, and listened to Xian Zhi's understanding. It seemed that Li always wanted those who cooperated with the base to come in.
There have been instances like this before. During the last heavy rain, hundreds of people came in.
"Go and count the number of people. Go out tomorrow and spread the news." Li Yu said.
He Chao couldn't understand Li Yu. In the past, the Li Yu he saw was cold-blooded and decisive in killing. Although he was very friendly to the people in the base, he never had much compassion for people outside the base.
Although today's high temperature is much higher than last year's high temperature, it is not impossible to survive.
Naturally, he didn't know that the high temperature was just an appetizer, and that the volcanic eruption, continuous darkness, acid rain, and zombie waves would be the highlight.
It is unknown how many people can survive with this combination of punches.
And when that time comes, people outside the base will have no chance to come if they want to seek asylum.
Li Yu will not open the door again.
After the volcano erupted, the world fell into darkness. With so many zombies around, Li Yu could no longer take the risk and open the door.
What to do if the zombie wave breaks through.
Li Yu added: "Spread the news as widely as possible, only for three days. After three days, the base will not accept anyone. In addition, personnel must be carefully selected. We have been cooperating with outsiders for so long. I really want to People who want to cooperate with us have already cooperated with us.
Therefore, any team that has not appeared on the cooperation list will not be allowed to come in.
The base is not a nursing home and has no obligation to protect them. "
He Chao agreed with what Li Yu said. The Dazhangshu Base has never been the Notre Dame Church. You have not contributed to me, so why should I save you.
Let them come in. If nothing else, the electricity consumed is also a cost.
So He Chao said: "Understood, I will pull out the list right now. After counting, who should I hand it over to?"
"Give it to my second uncle. Then you can show him the list and let him check it."
He Chao nodded and went back to look for the list.
In less than ten minutes, He Chao took the list and reconciled it with his second uncle.
This list is recorded in duplicate.
Not only is He Chao there to make statistics, but the second uncle also has a copy. Comparing the two copies, there will be no mistakes.
The second uncle who was in the inner city saw He Chao coming over with a notebook.
Putting down the wood in his hand, he also has some small hobbies. When he has free time, he likes to carve some small wood sculptures. The children really like this thing he carved.
"What's the matter?" asked the second uncle.
He Chao told his second uncle what Li Yu said to him.
The second uncle pondered for a while, but he did not expect that Li Yu would make such a decision.
It's not that we can't bring in people who cooperate with the base, it's just that at the moment, it doesn't seem to be necessary.
After all, it's just extremely high temperatures right now.
But he believed in Li Yu. Many of the decisions Li Yu made often had some foresight. Sometimes he couldn't understand it, but it was only after the fact that he realized that Li Yu's decision was correct.
It doesn't matter if they are brought in, it just provides a space and confiscates their weapons. Even if there are some problems, it will not cause any trouble.
So he also took out the statistical table in his hand and compared it one by one with the one in He Chao's hand.
Once people have power, it is easy for corruption to breed, and these can only be regulated through various methods.
But for He Chao, there isn't much he wants at the moment.
Comparing the statistics table from the second uncle's side, there is no flaw.
After comparing with his second uncle, He Chao returned to the first outer city. Li Yu also told his uncle about the matter and asked him to take a few people to go out with He Chao tomorrow to deliver the news. Then come back.
Around Xincheng.
Near the industrial park.
In a garment factory, the hot weather caused an abandoned and worn-out garment to spontaneously combust around the factory.
The tires of some vehicles on the roadside were directly blown out by the sun.
After the tire blew out, the entire car burst into flames.
Inside the garment factory, the ground is covered with buckets filled with well water.
Almost every once in a while, they would press out new water from the well water.
The weather was so hot that there was no other way to cool down.
Now that they have to go outdoors, they must take protective measures, otherwise they will be sunburned, swollen, and pus will appear all over their bodies in just a few minutes.
Once inflammation occurs, the consequences can be very serious.
Wow——
Xiao Hu carried the bucket and poured the slightly colder well water from top to bottom.
He was shirtless, wearing only a pair of shorts.
At this time, the panties were also wet.
Water drops fell to the ground, making a sizzling sound.
Like a drop of water falling into a pan of oil.
"Third brother, bring in a few more buckets of water later. These seven or eight buckets of water are hot again." Xiao Hu said in a rough dress.
Because it was so hot and there was very little moisture outside, every breath I took in felt as uncomfortable as inhaling chili powder.
Therefore, they placed many buckets indoors, which can achieve a cooling effect and increase the water vapor in the room so that breathing will not be so difficult.
"Brother Xiao, I really can't stand it anymore. When I went out just now, my arms were not protected. For that moment, the skin is peeling off now.
Why don't we go to the Da Zhangshu Base for help? If this continues, the brothers really won't be able to hold on anymore. "
The third child tore off the dead skin on his hands and said to Xiao Hu while breathing heavily.
Xiao Hu shook the water on his head and said in silence for a while: "We don't have enough points now, otherwise we can apply for an upgrade to join the outer city. It's just a few points short..."
The third child also sighed leisurely. He naturally knew the point system of Da Zhangshu Base. Everything was fair and there was not much to gossip about.
There are many survivors around Xincheng, and some have the same idea as them.
But they are able to survive until now and it is clear that the Da Zhangshu Base owes them nothing.
As for threatening the Zhangshu Base under the pretext of morality or saving people, it is obviously a joke.
Has the Dazhangshu base ever been threatened and compromised?
No.
Not a single case.
Although it is cruel, it is very realistic.
Orange Isle.
Due to the high temperature in recent days, the water level of the river has dropped a lot.
Water levels reached record lows.
In the southern refugee camp, there is always a stench in the air.
After being exposed to the sun, that kind of rotten meat smells worse than the sewage in the sewer.
Mosquitoes and flies scattered.
The air seemed to be on fire.
Refugee camp, southwest corner.
Under a tent.
There were two men sitting feebly inside the tent.
My lips are chapped and white, my head is covered with sweat, my eyes are white, and I can see a lot of air coming out and little air coming in.
"You, please stop begging Haichao and let us stay for a day. We helped them manage the refugee camp before."
The man said weakly to another person.
The other man had a bare head, and the skin on the top of his head was sunburned like a cooked lobster, red and swollen.
He touched his head and rubbed it gently, and a small piece of flesh and blood came off.
hiss--
The pain, like a needle prick, made him grit his teeth.
After taking a few big breaths.
He said with a mocking face: "Don't think about it, they can't hold it anymore. When I passed by just now, I saw more than 30 people crowded into a room of less than 12 square meters. Just for that little air-conditioning. "
"Ha." He sneered, and the next second, he coughed violently.
Cough cough cough——
Pooh--
He vomited a bloody lump.
Apparently it was part of his gut, spitting it out in a violent coughing fit.
But he didn't panic, nor did he have any surprises. He seemed to have accepted his fate, and fatigue came over him like a tide.
There was a murmur in the mouth, an inaudible sound.
It seemed like he was answering the partner opposite him, or maybe he was talking to himself.
"This bastard Gan Shang, if he had known that this would be the result, I would have just followed him out. It would be better to starve to death than to die of heat.
It's better to find a deeper basement than to be in this bullshit tent."
As he spoke, his hand fell softly to the ground.
No more sound.
The North District of Orange Island.
Jiuzhi lost half of his life. After finally returning, he immediately told Gan Shang the news. Gan Shang was very excited and quickly ordered Hai Chao and others to take people out.
But Haichao looked embarrassed.
"Boss, it's too hot now. Brothers don't want to go out."
The reason why I don't want to go out is very simple. In this kind of horrible weather, running such a long distance, not to mention the issue of suffering, the main risk is too great.
Such a long distance, after passing it, there is a question mark on whether we can come back or not.
In such hot weather, if there is a conflict, it will only add fuel to the fire.
Knowing that it is a fatal task, the people under his command are naturally unwilling to do it.
Gan Shang was very angry and said angrily: "Isn't it just that the temperature is a little too high? Last summer, wasn't it also very hot? It's hot. How hot can it get?"
Hai Chao looked helplessly at the boss, who had not been out for four or five days because of the excessive heat.
He bit the bullet and said to Gan Shang: "Boss, it's really hotter outside than a week ago. You can feel it."
Gan Shang still remembered the approximate temperature a week ago. Although it was hot, it was not completely impossible to move outside.
He didn't believe in evil, so he didn't wear any protection and cursed: "It's not like I haven't been out before."
With that said, he opened the door and walked outside.
As soon as I came out, I felt a heat wave coming out.
Swish——
He was used to the air-conditioned temperature indoors, but when he suddenly came out, his body did not adapt to the outdoor temperature. Sweat instantly ran down his forehead.
Some beads of sweat soon appeared on the surface skin of the body.
This is indeed a lot higher than a week ago.
Gan Shang was unwilling to do so, so he bit the bullet and walked into the sun.
Hai Chao, who was under the shadow of the eaves, saw Gan Shang like this and kindly reminded him: "Boss, the sun is very poisonous, be careful."
"Ah!" As soon as Gan Shang walked under the sun, he felt a ball of fire burning his skin.
In order not to lose face in front of his men, he forced his body to leave and continued to stand in the sun.
There was smoke coming from the top of his head.
Make a sizzling sound.
It looked like it was going to burn soon.
Gan Shang did not wear any protection, just wearing a T-shirt and shorts. His exposed skin and top of his head were not protected in any way.
After standing in the sun for more than ten seconds, he jumped up and down and ran into the room in embarrassment.
After entering the room, he remained silent and his exposed skin was already red.
There was still a vague itching feeling, and he knew that this was a symptom of sunburn.
If he couldn't help it and scratched the itch with his hands, he would probably tear off the skin and make it bloody.
"Boss, cool down." Hai Chao poured a glass of water from the side and handed it to Gan Shang.
Gan Shang looked at Hai Chao with some resentment, his eyes seemed to say: Why didn't you tell me earlier?
Haichao was a little aggrieved, as he had clearly said what he had just said.
Even when he comes here, he has to wear protective gear, otherwise he wouldn't dare to stand in the sun like that.
It's the hottest time of the day now. I didn't expect the boss to be so brave.
But it's okay, after the boss felt it, he knew how hot it was now, so he wouldn't give him some unrealistic orders.
"There is cooling oil in the cabinet, bring it to me." Gan Shang said dullly.
Hai Chao obediently went to get it and gave it to Gan Shang.
The two of them had a tacit understanding, and neither of them mentioned going to Xiao Jun or the others again.
It's too dangerous out there now.
