Fortunately, the sterilant was obtained relatively quickly. In this epidemic, only 2,800 people died at the Beishan base. This number is relatively small in the last days.
The last time Beishan Base experienced the H2 virus, a total of 20,000 people died. If the sterilant had not been obtained at that time, I am afraid that a serious epidemic would have broken out throughout the base.
The end of the world is so cruel. Not only are there threats from zombies, but there are also infections from various viruses. Various forms of destruction are destroying the few remaining human beings, so humans living in the last days are always worried about their own survival.
After the epidemic was resolved, Lin Feng immediately considered the issue of selecting a tank driver. At Beishan Base, everyone must complete a simple registration before entering the base. In addition to name and age, occupation before the end of the world must also be registered.
Although there are some omissions, such as Lin Feng who was taken in by practitioners and not registered when he came in, 80% of the people in the entire base still registered their profession when they entered Beishan Base.
This kind of registration is done to make it easier to find professional people when it is useful. Just like when he purchased a tank this time, Lin Feng can find from the registered people people who have served as tank soldiers in the army.
After some searching, Zhu Jianbin's men finally gathered twenty tankers. After receiving the list of tankers, Lin Feng asked Zhu Jianbin to select forty people among the guards and let them learn from the twenty tankers. If something happens, you can be a backup person. Moreover, three people on a tank were not many, and Lin Feng felt that these people were a bit too few.
Tanks are the best weapons to deal with level 2 and 3 zombies. If there are no tanks, cultivators are needed to deal with level 3 zombies. In that case, there is a possibility of causing losses, and although using a tank has less energy and less energy, it is still better than killing people. If the tank is gone, you can buy it again. If the practitioner loses it, it will be hard to find.
With the reward of Lin Feng's canned beef, many cultivators actually discovered new cultivators in the Beishan base. These people all became cultivators after experiencing the apocalyptic rain. And the number of people was quite large, reaching eighty people. Moreover, among these eighty people, ten level 2 cultivators appeared.
This is directly related to a person's talent. After becoming a practitioner, those with good talent will upgrade faster in the early stage. Otherwise, no advanced cultivators would appear three years after the end of the world. However, most cultivators have average talents and are still low-level cultivators even after three years.
These eighty people are not needed now. They have just become cultivators and their actual combat abilities are not very strong yet. It will take some time to adapt. Lin Feng assigned two level 5 practitioners to them and asked them to teach these new practitioners about the use of energy.
"Manager Qian, I have an idea."
The construction of weapons and equipment has been completed, and what remains is the issue of base construction. Lin Feng, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, made a cup of tea and said to Manager Qian opposite the sofa.
In the three years since its establishment, the Beishan base has never been repaired. The most important thing now is to build a base, and Lin Feng has an idea.
The walls on three sides of the base face the wild, and there is another wall only five kilometers away from the side of Tianheng Mountain. Moreover, the verticality of the mountains on that side was very high, so Lin Feng wanted to open up the wall facing Tianheng Mountain. Then the other two walls perpendicular to the mountains are extended to Tianheng Mountain, so that the area of the Beishan base can be expanded by half.
The original Beishan base area is very large. If such a transformation is carried out, there will be an additional fifty square kilometers. Lin Feng plans to use this place to build a military base, and all future weapons and equipment will be placed there.
The storage space of a person's apocalyptic watch is still limited. If the wall is really opened, a large area can be used as a storage base. In that case, the overall planning of the Beishan base will be better.
Alternatively, you can extend the two walls perpendicular to Tianheng Mountain without first opening up the wall near Tianheng Mountain, and then open a few doors on the parallel wall near Tianheng Mountain. In this way, an area of fifty square kilometers is independently enclosed in the base, and the area here is independently used for the management of weapons, equipment and supplies.
"The chief's proposal is good, but it takes too long."
After listening to Lin Feng's thoughts, Manager Qian nodded and said in agreement.
However, building a new fence is time-consuming. It used to take a year to build a fence at a base.
"Manager Qian, you are wrong. That time was different from now."
Lin Feng knew what Manager Qian meant and explained to him.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, the whole world was in chaos because a large number of people turned into zombies. It took people a long time to divide it into bases one by one, and then it took a year to complete the construction of the base.
But now is different from that time. At that time, the apocalypse had just entered, people were panicked, and it was quite time-consuming to form an engineering team. Not only that, there are also very few construction tools.
But things are different now. After three years of the apocalypse, people later found a lot of construction tools and materials. Although Beishan Base has not renovated the base in three years, the materials are still available.
Moreover, Lin Feng plans to build something similar to a moat outside the Tianlong Base outside the base wall. There are still many large excavators in the Beishan Base. Moreover, the Beishan base is close to the Tianheng Mountains, and there is an inexhaustible supply of stone materials. As for other materials, they can be borrowed from buildings destroyed when the apocalypse breaks out.
With the supply of materials, plus the large construction machinery we are looking for later. If the speed is fast, Lin Feng believes that it will only take three months to build the planned new fence.
By that time, Lin Feng had a large area that could be used as a military base. Lin Feng can purchase a large amount of weapons and equipment from Shenwu Auction House. By that time, the armed forces of Beishan Base will gradually become stronger.
"Manager Qian, help me find some high-tech talents in the base, including construction, technology, management talents, etc. I need to find professional ones."
Now Lin Feng is too short of these talents, so he asked Manager Qian to handle it.
Lin Feng and Li Shuo had different ideas. Many base leaders wanted to collect crystals for their own sake to ensure that they had enough money.
But Lin Feng is just the opposite. He has no shortage of low-level white crystals now. And the supplies in the supermarket can be exchanged for a lot of money. The things that people value most in the apocalypse have become the most important things in Lin Feng's case. To use an old saying, Lin Feng is so poor that he only has money left.
But Lin Feng would not let go of some high-end crystals. In the Tianlong base, he asked Tang Palace to exchange topaz for a diamond ring. Lin Feng, who has now been upgraded to a level 7 practitioner, can absorb some yellow crystals every day. However, the energy of topaz is no longer as great as the effect it brought when it was at a low level. Only higher-level crystals can bring more energy to Lin Feng.
Once the base is built and it has more weapons and equipment, the population will naturally increase. As the population increases, more practitioners come to seek refuge. In this way, Lin Feng's strength will become stronger and stronger. At that time, Lin Feng can try to collect resources from more dangerous places.
This is a cycle. Only by constantly improving yourself and what you master can you become safer and safer.
It's like writing a novel. The more words you write, the more words you click to add to your collection. The larger the collection base, the more subscriptions will come. As the number of subscriptions increases, the rewards and royalties will also increase. As a result, the author's reputation gradually increased.
If it is not updated, the novel's data will never increase, but will decrease. Therefore, the foundation is the most important.
Of course, this does not exclude those who only collect but do not subscribe. Just as more people are added, it does not necessarily mean that there are more practitioners. But once a base’s reputation has grown, it’s difficult not to attract practitioners.
These high-level talents were exactly what Lin Feng was in short supply. In the past, Li Shuo only valued cultivators, and ordinary people would not take a look at them. Many people were originally very talented people in the world, but in the end of the world, they can only live in slums. These people who were originally at the top in their previous lives have now become the lowest level of society.
Just when Lin Feng finished saying that, he saw an aircraft flying in the sky in the distance.
Picking up the telescope, Lin Feng saw that it was a large transport aircraft. There was a word "East" printed on it. The aircraft passed over the Beishan base and flew towards the east.
"This Dongshan base is really bold. It dares to fly an aircraft over our base. Do you really think that our base is empty?"
At this time, Zhu Jianbin walked in and said with a frown.
According to the unwritten rules in the apocalypse, aircraft from one base cannot fly over other bases unless they have greeted the base in advance or want to dock at the base. But looking at Zhu Jianbin's frowning expression, it was obvious that he didn't say hello in advance.
"Maybe there's something urgent."
Manager Qian on the side also looked outside and said.
The Dongshan base only has two aircraft, a small manned aircraft and a large transport aircraft, while the Beishan base does not have a single small aircraft, which shows the difference.
Lin Feng said nothing, as this trivial matter was not enough to attract his attention. Anyway, the aircraft has no intention of landing at Beishan Base. Even if it comes to attack Beishan Base, it can't just be parachuting. In that case, most of them would probably be wiped out before they even hit the ground.
So when Manager Qian left and was doing things, Lin Feng continued to help Zhu Jianbin understand the situation at the Beishan base.
But in about fifteen minutes, the transport aircraft from Dongshan Base passed over Beishan Base again. But this time it was from another direction, after passing over the Beishan base, it flew towards the east.
Seeing this situation, Lin Feng frowned and secretly thought that this Dongshan base was a bit too presumptuous.
"Didi didi..."
At this moment, Zhu Jianbin's doomsday clock rang continuously.
"Oh no, chief, something happened!"
When he lifted the apocalypse watch and saw the information on it, Zhu Jianbin's expression changed drastically and he said to Lin Feng.
