Dinner was relatively simple. The fat man stir-fried dried vegetables in cans. In this post-apocalyptic world, it was considered a big meal. Together with the steaming white rice, everyone's stomachs were a little bloated.
With the help of weak candlelight, Li Yuanhong saw that everyone had almost eaten, so he started to speak: "Everyone has worked hard today, especially Fatty, who not only withstood the attack of the mutant dog, but also made delicious food for us with injuries. Thank you for your hard work!" Li Yuanhong took the lead and applauded softly. In these last days, making loud noises and making noise is considered taboo.
Seeing everyone applauding him, Lu Fei touched the back of his head embarrassedly, grinned and said, "Nothing, nothing!"
When the applause stopped, Li Yuanhong continued: "However, this battle also exposed many problems. Our weapons are still very poor. If we encounter level two mutant beasts or zombies again in the future, we may not be as lucky as today. After all, we are here Fighting in the villa limits the mobility of these mutant beasts, and bites and scratches from mutant beasts will not cause infection, but if you encounter zombies and are bitten or scratched, you will die."
Li Yuanhong paused, glanced at everyone, and then said: "So we need to strengthen our protection and weapons. Today, Officer Wang and I, as well as Zhang Haitao, found a batch of weapons in the basement of the garage, which can temporarily solve the weapons problem. But we don’t have protective clothing, so let’s see if you have any good suggestions!”
At this time, Wang Jingrong thought for a while and said: "We have now left the Fifth Ring Road. Not far from here is a training base for the armed police. There may be some protective clothing there. We can go there tomorrow to have a look."
At this time, the fat man also said: "Today I peeled half of the skins of those mutated dogs. There are almost twenty pieces. It should be enough to make a few sets of clothes. It's a pity that I don't know how to do it!"
When he heard the dog skins, Li Yuanhong remembered that these dog skins had very good protective power, so he set his sights on those girls.
Li Luoxia saw Li Yuanhong looking in her direction, shook her head quickly and said, "Don't look at me, sewing is not my specialty!"
Wang Yongmei next to her also quickly shook her head. Han Yuyao, who was sitting next to several children, nodded and said, "It's okay to sew and mend, but I see that those mutated dog skins can't even be pierced with ordinary knives and scissors. I'm afraid they're not very easy to cut, so I don't have professional tools." Let’s deal with these skins.”
After looking around and seeing everyone shaking their heads, Li Yuanhong felt like he was in a treasure mountain and couldn't get it. It seemed that Gopi could only find a way to deal with it.
Li Yuanhong said helplessly: "Let's leave the dog skin treatment for a while, then let's go to the armed police training base tomorrow to have a look."
Seeing that there was no objection from everyone, he continued: "Then we have to determine the next step of action. We always move like this. After all, it is not a long-term solution. We must have a goal. So what suggestions do you have? By the way, Dr. Han , what’s the latest news from the military?”
Wang Jingrong had been participating in outings in the past two days, so he gave Han Yuyao the task of listening to military news. So Dr. Han cleared his throat and said: "There has been no big movement in the military in the past two days, but it seems that the supreme commander of the military has come out to speak, calling on everyone to fight against zombies together, and the radio has begun to announce the weaknesses and characteristics of zombies, and there is one more thing , the new broadcast, the connection point of the Fifth Ring Road does not seem to be mentioned."
After listening to Han Yuyao's introduction, Li Yuanhong thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Jingrong and said, "Jingrong, what do you think of these news?"
Wang Jingrong also thought for a long time, and then said: "I'm afraid the military situation is not very good!"
"Oh? Go on!" Li Yuanhong continued to let Wang Jingrong talk.
Wang Jingrong continued: "The fifth ring connection point is not mentioned, which means that this connection point has been cancelled. There is only one situation for being cancelled, and that is to lose. If the military had sufficient force, this would never happen. situation."
After Wang Jingrong finished speaking, Li Yuanhong said in a heavier voice: "What Jingrong said is right, but the situation is probably more serious than this!"
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with doubts, Li Yuanhong did not give in: "The military leaders came out to speak, not the central leaders. I am afraid that this virus outbreak will have a big impact on the central government. And along the way, we encountered Most of the survivors are young adults, and there are almost no elderly people. This shows that the elderly have worse resistance to the virus. Of course, it is possible that there are some elderly people in the house that we did not see. This must be a guess. If If this guess is true, there will be big trouble in the future."
"One more thing, Jing Rong said that the rescue point at the Fifth Ring Road was withdrawn, probably because of a zombie wave. In the past two days, we have encountered obviously more zombies than before. It may be that the zombies in the city have begun to spread outside. If this is the case, I'm afraid there will be a zombie wave here soon. Similarly, the airport where the army is currently stationed may not last long."
After hearing this, everyone's faces showed solemn expressions.
Li Yuanhong continued: "I have been thinking about our future path recently. I think there are three paths we can take. I will take them out and let everyone give their opinions."
"The first road is to the military at the airport. There should be a lot of heavy fire protection there. Short-term security should be no problem."
"The second way is to go west, enter the Loess Plateau area, and then rely on the natural dangers of the Yellow River to build a survival base to resist the zombies."
"The third way is to go east, find a place in the northeast with mountains and water, and establish a base."
After speaking, Li Yuanhong looked at everyone to see their opinions.
At this time Lu Fei asked: "Why not go to Shandong?"
Li Yuanhong replied: "When choosing the northwest and northeast, you only need to consider the following aspects. First, population. The northwest and northeast have relatively small populations now, while other provinces have higher population densities than these two places. Regardless of our early stage Defense and development. Secondly, these two places have good plain farmland. Without farmland, we will starve to death sooner or later, so this is a necessary condition for development. Finally, these two directions start from us. , all have good traffic roads, so it is very convenient for us to drive there. Do you have any questions?"
At this time, Han Yuyao asked: "When I heard your plan just now, it seemed that I didn't care much about Yanjing's base. Why is that?"
"Actually, the advantages and disadvantages of the Yanjing base are very obvious. First of all, although the military base is very powerful and close, this is the capital, and there are probably more than ten million zombies in the city. So many zombies are not stationed there. Beijing can handle hundreds of thousands of troops, and the current location of the army is not suitable for holding. It will definitely have to be moved in the future. If we go over, all the equipment and supplies now may be taken over by the army. When the time comes to move, we will drag our families with us. The army will definitely not provide any protection for the mouth, and the risk will increase several times. Furthermore, the areas around Yanjing are mostly mountainous, and it is difficult to feed too many people."
After explaining the reasons, everyone fell into deep thought again.
Li Yuanhong saw that everyone had tangled expressions, and the other little guys were already looking for sleepyheads. It seemed that they couldn't decide for a while. After all, this was the key to determining their future destiny, so they had to be cautious.
Li Yuanhong cleared his throat and broke everyone's silence: "I don't think this is an easy decision to make, so let's think about it again. After all, we have to deal with equipment and vehicle protection issues in the past two days. Everyone is already very busy today." If you’re tired, go to bed early!”
After listening to Li Yuanhong's announcement to adjourn the meeting, everyone walked to the bedroom upstairs with a tired look. After all, many people had not recovered from the torment last night.
Li Yuanhong just stood up when he suddenly remembered something and called Han Yuyao: "Doctor Han, please wait a moment."
Han Yuyao was stunned, stopped, and gently handed Li Hongyun, who was already asleep in her arms, to Lu Cuihua next to her, then turned around and asked, "What's the matter?"
Li Yuanhong walked to the opposite side of Han Yuyao and said, "That's it. I mentioned the Yanjing Military Base just now. You seem to have some questions. Do you have any relatives at the Yanjing Base?"
"They are not relatives. My father once served in the army. He has several old subordinates in the Yanjing army. I want to go over and ask them about my brother. My brother serves in the Sichuan Army." Han Yuyao said without hiding anything.
Li Yuanhong was obviously taken aback when he heard this. It seems that Dr. Han's family background is not simple. Li Yuanhong thought for a moment, and then said: "Let's do this. I'll go back and discuss with Officer Wang to see if we can go to a military base in the near future. We may get a lot of useful information there, which will help us with our next step. In addition, I also wanted to find out the news about your brother."
After hearing this, Han Yuyao's eyes clearly flashed with excitement, but it was not obvious: "Okay! Thank you first, Xiao Li!"
"You're welcome. We are all on the same team. It was Dr. Han who treated everyone's injuries this time. Otherwise, Fatty Lu would probably still be humming in bed right now." Li Yuanhong said with a smile.
"Haha, Fatty Lu is not as unbearable as you said! That guy has the physique of a fat pig. After eating a big meal, all his injuries are healed. It is not my fault at all. If nothing happens, I will go up and rest first!"
"Okay, then go to bed early!" Li Yuanhong watched Han Yuyao go upstairs. Seeing the ladylike temperament, Li Yuanhong was still thinking about the information given by Dr. Han just now. It seemed that he needed to go back and talk to Wang Jingrong.
