The plan to clean up and restore the main railway line was sent to Shen Shi'an more than a month ago. The plan was jointly proposed by the Gu family and the Huang family. Afterwards, it went through two votes at the management meeting and the supernatural union. Agree with the objection.
The objection is obvious: too difficult.
But the towns that the railway track passes must be populated, and the total population is rarely less than 100,000, and some hub cities have a population of more than one million. You don't need to think about what kind of corpses are in those cities at this time. scary scene.
Just the difficulty of cleaning up the zombies makes one's scalp tingle, how to maintain it after cleaning up? The capital base and Changbai base are the closest of the five major security bases, but they are more than 600 kilometers away from each other. How can we set up a protective line at such a long distance? And how to ensure that it will not be destroyed or attacked by zombie groups
The reasoning behind it is equally obvious: the significance is enormous.
Once the main railway line between the two bases can be dredged and restored, the situation where the survivors have been isolated from each other and communication cut off since the end of the world will be completely changed. This not only means that the two large bases can integrate their respective human, material and information resources , also means that all kinds of resources along the way can also be re-developed and utilized, including but not limited to: oil fields, coal fields, minerals, and the vital forces scattered in various small and medium-sized bases, each of which is necessary for the survival and development of the base . The human and material resources invested in the early stage are bound to be astonishing, but the return after success will only be more generous.
The most important thing is that the zombies are getting stronger and stronger, and human beings will face a life-and-death battle sooner or later. To avoid being defeated by the tide of zombies, to increase the chance of survival as much as possible, to restore the traffic information between the five bases, and to unite all the living forces. must do.
Of course, as one of the proposers of this plan, the Gu family also has their own selfish motives.
There are nearly five million survivors in the Changbai base, and more survivors mean a wider market. As long as the two bases are connected, Gu Jia and Sharpen, who hold the pheromone development formula, will become the most direct beneficiaries.
In addition, for Mr. Gu and Shen Shi'an, there is a more personal reason for supporting the resumption of operation of the main railway line.
There are a total of five weapon processing factories in the capital base, which are responsible for producing all kinds of cold weapons and hot weapons for fighting against zombies. If the city wall and Skynet are the "shields" to maintain the security of the base, then these five weapons processing factories are the "spears" to resist the tide of zombies, and their importance is self-evident.
Four of these five processing plants were transformed from mechanical processing plants before the end of the world, and all of these four mechanical processing plants were owned by the Qin family before the end of the world. Formally relying on this property right and resources, the Qin family was able to gain a firm foothold quickly after the outbreak of the virus and win over all forces, becoming one of the five managers of the capital base today. In the division of interests and checks and balances after the completion of the base, in order to consolidate their own status and rights, the Qin family transferred part of the ownership of the processing plant, but even so they still have control over the three weapon processing plants. The source and root of power.
Unlike the capital base, which is temporarily transformed after the end of the world, there is an entire military industrial area in the Changbai base that is responsible for the production and development of various sophisticated cold and hot weapons before the end of the world. It can be said that if the Changbai base is called If it is a "army factory", the base in the capital city is at best a small handicraft workshop without a business license.
Once the two places are connected, the capital base can trade with the Changbai base in terms of weapon resources, which can weaken the foundation and power of the Qin family to the greatest extent.
The Qin family obviously understands this, which is also the main reason why they wooed the Han family to try their best to oppose the restoration plan of the main railway line.
There are five forces in the management, the four major families, and the supernatural union. If the proposal is to be passed successfully, the Gu family needs at least three votes in favor, which means that the attitude of the supernatural union is crucial.
In order to win as many votes as possible, to draw more people into the interest alliance, and for the long-term development of Liren and the Gu family, Mr. Gu and Shen Shi'an made a decision after discussing: to disclose the pheromone formula.
"It's not free and open," Shen Shi'an explained to his teammates in the core team meeting inside Sharp Blade more than a week ago: "We will sign a cooperation agreement with the organization or force that intends to win over, and the other party can obtain the formula to produce and sell pheromone by themselves. One-tenth of the income generated from this belongs to us, which is equivalent to franchise fees or patent royalties. This tenth is 5% for us and the Gu family, and 1% of our 5% is used as The other 4% of Tang Song and Lin Ruan's personal income is used for public use."
Tang Song and Lin Ruan have already agreed to this decision, and they have no reason to disagree: it is very difficult to supply only the capital base with the production capacity of Sharpen and Gu's family, even if the market expands, it will not be able to bear it at all, and the disclosure of the formula can make a lot of money. One benefit, win-win cooperation, why not do it. What's more, because the big pie of pheromones, the Gu family and the sharp blade, have been secretly coveted for a long time. Who wouldn't be jealous if they make money every day? It's not a good feeling to have a target on your back. Now it can not only reduce the hatred value, but also attract a large number of forces, and also gain a lot of favors, the fool would disagree.
Tao Yuan looked carefully at the proposed cooperation agreement, and found that there was a confidentiality clause at the end of the agreement: "Without our consent, all partners are prohibited from disclosing the pheromone formula twice, especially to the Qin family. And the forces that are friendly with the Qin family?"
Shen Shi'an nodded: "The prohibition of secondary disclosure is to protect our interests as a pheromone researcher, and the prohibition of disclosure to the Qin family is out of my private wish."
"Damn," Liu Fangzhou raised his hands and crossed them behind his head: "A tenth of the income is not a small amount, and no one is so stupid. I spent a lot of money to buy the formula, and then disclose it to others for free. .”
"But what if the Qin family makes trouble secretly?" Xiong Manshan was a little worried: "Let me make an analogy, if the Qin family secretly finds our partner to do py transactions, and proposes that he is willing to pay two-tenths of all proceeds as remuneration , In this way, the partner will still earn one-tenth of it, and if it is not guaranteed, we will agree. If he really leaks out, there is nothing we can do about it. If there is more than one partner, we can’t figure out which fool did the bad thing.”
"You don't have to worry about this," Lin Ruan said, "The teacher and I have also considered this point, so we made a slight change to the pheromone formula, which will not affect the effect, but the formula provided to each partner has subtle differences. The difference—it is equivalent to the mark on banknotes. Each pheromone produced according to different formulas has a unique number. If the Qin family really gets the formula and produces and sells it, we will immediately know who leaked the formula. of."
Liu Fangzhou's eyes lit up: "This method is fine! Soft and awesome!"
"And I'm 90% sure that no one will leak it." Shen Shi'an added.
"Why?"
"Because pheromones are just an appetizer, the real ace in our hands is the virus vaccine." Shen Shi'an crossed his hands on the table: "Everyone knows that the only pure blood sample in the world is in our hands, and everyone knows that we We are working hard to develop vaccines, and after witnessing the abilities of Tang Song and Lin Ruan from the birth of pheromones, no one will take the risk of offending us and being included in the vaccine ban list to curry favor with the Qin family."
Xiong Manshan suddenly realized: That's how it is.
Tang Song announced the good news at the right time: "The research and development of the vaccine has made a breakthrough. If there is no accident, the results should be seen within two months."
"Really?!"
"Great!"
"With the vaccine, we will have a better chance of winning against zombies in the future!"
"Brother Tang, you and Ruan Ruan are so good!"
"..."
The teammates rejoiced, and Shen Shi'an was also very happy: "Thank you for your hard work, well done."
"It's not hard," Tang Song pushed his glasses: "It's also thanks to your support, captain." The research can make progress, and Lingquan water has played a vital role.
Xu Ge immediately announced the second piece of good news: "The apartment building has been officially completed, and the first batch of veteran players who joined are expected to move in in the next two days."
The old team members used to live in a two-person dormitory building, both for the convenience of management and for the cultivation of tacit understanding. Now the team members have known each other for a long time, and the sharp blade has money and vacancy, so they simply built two new apartment buildings. , compared to the specifications of high-end apartments before the end of the world, the design is exquisite and single-family, and it is distributed as benefits for veteran players. The original dormitory building is now full of new team members who have just joined, and they need to undergo a two-month assessment and subsequent combat training here.
Shen Shi'an nodded, and asked again: "Where is the small building? Has it been allocated?"
The small building refers to a two-story western-style building built on the shore of the artificial lake, with its own courtyard, and facing the villa across the lake. It is also the best living condition in the base area except for the villa. At the beginning, a total of five buildings were built, which were prepared to be allocated to outstanding contributors among the team members, so they were also called cadre buildings.
A few days ago was the half-year anniversary of the first batch of team members officially joining. Xu Ge and other core team members made a comprehensive review based on their performance and contribution during this period. "The most prominent ones are: Yang Cancan, Gao Xiaohui, Wu Miao, Zhao Xinhe, Zhao Xinjiang, and Qu Shuo."
A total of six people, including two brothers Zhao Xinhe and Zhao Xinjiang lived together, and the five buildings should have been just right. But when Tian Yi's family entered the base, considering that it was not convenient for the three of them to live in a dormitory, they were temporarily arranged in a small building, so there was a lack of a cadre building.
"It's still a bit difficult," Liu Fangzhou scratched his face, "it will take time to build a new building, but Big Brother Tian and his family have lived together for more than half a year, so it's not easy for them to move out now to make room for others. But then again Well, it’s not in compliance with the rules to live in the cadre’s building with a family of meritorious service.”
"Then don't assign it to Qu Shuo." Lu Xiuyuan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "He is the last one to come, why should he be treated so well?"
Shen Shi'an glanced at him, and before he could speak, he heard Xu Ge say, "That's not the case. In fact, this problem has been solved: Cancan said that she and Gao Xiaohui plan to live together."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and then let out a meaningful "oh~" at the same time
"I didn't expect that, when did the two of them get together?"
"Are you going to get married or just live together?"
"I heard that there are plans to get married."
"No wonder they often team up to go out on missions together. Both of them are fire-type supernatural beings, and they are emotionally quick and easy."
"..."
"This is a happy event," Shen Shi'an said, "Convert the market valuation of the small building into points, and it will be our housewarming gift for the two of them."
Xu Ge responded, "Okay."
Taking advantage of the excitement of the crowd and discussing which other players might see each other, Shen Shi'an and Shen Xun beside him looked at each other and cleared their throats: "There is something I think I need to tell everyone, although you probably already know it. A: Xun Xun and I have decided to formally start dating."
There was a moment of silence in the conference room, and then enthusiastic cheers erupted:
"congratulations!"
"awesome!"
"Lock me up!"
"This is called joining forces with two swords!"
"..."
Xiong Manshan breathed a sigh of relief: "It suffocated me, and I was worried that you would keep it secret. Well, captain, Brother Xun, I was a little flustered because I was too surprised two days ago. Congratulations to you two, you are so well matched that no one else is."
"That's right," Liu Fangzhou leaned over, "When are you going to get married? When are you going to have a wedding? Then I have to prepare an unprecedented big red envelope."
Shen Shi'an tried hard to keep a straight face: "... just started dating, and the rest, the horoscope has not been written yet. That's it, the meeting is adjourned."
Returning to the bedroom with red ears, Shen Xun entangled him as soon as he entered the door: "Then, in front of Chen Nan and the others, can I kiss you?"
"no."
"Why not! Don't they all know that I'm your boyfriend? It won't affect my mental state!"
"There's no reason, I just can't do it if I say no."
Originally, when Shen Xun was a child, Shen Shi'an had the patience to explain to him clearly and rationally, but now the other party is an adult man taller than him, and what he is best at is taking advantage of everything, talking nonsense, and being a tyrant \'Quite easy.
After finishing speaking, he took off the beads, unbuttoned the top two buttons of the shirt with one hand, leaned against the bathroom door and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "You can kiss now, come?"
Shen Xun rushed towards him with red eyes.
----
The time was pulled back to more than a week later, which was the morning when the union of supernatural beings was about to vote for the third time on the restoration plan of the main railway line.
Shen Shi'an stood in front of the mirror in the cloakroom and tied his tie. When he looked up, he saw that Shen Xun had torn his tie into a mess, and was about to smash him to pieces. He was angry and funny, and turned around to take the tie from him: "Isn't it the teacher? How did you tie it?"
Shen Xun put his hand on his waist, his dark green eyes revealed a bit of childishness: "It's too troublesome."
Shen Shi'an untied the knotted tie, pressed it flat and then put it back around his neck. His slender fingers flipped flexibly in front of Shen Xun's neck through a layer of fabric: "Didn't you insist on wearing a formal suit? No one is forcing you to wear combat uniforms."
"That won't work, I want to wear the same clothes as you."
The corner of Shen Shi'an's mouth curled up and then pressed down: "If you want to wear it, then learn it hard. Are you three years old and you want me to help you get dressed?"
Lin Ruan's improved military uniform is upright and majestic with exquisite details, which can perfectly highlight the advantages of the wearer's figure. Shen Shi'an only put on his trousers and military boots, and didn't wear his coat. From where Shen Xun was standing, he could see his reflection in the mirror when he looked up. His long legs were strong and his waist was straight as loose, and his shoulder blades were white with the movements of his hands. There are light marks on the shirt, and there is no place that is not charming.
She lowered her head and rubbed against the tip of his nose: "Then when I've learned it, how about helping you wear it every day?"
Shen Shi'an is not stupid, he can't even find such an obvious pitfall: it's really strange if he can help get dressed and go out by himself.
Pretending not to hear the smoothing of the folds of the neckline: "Okay."
Just as he was about to retreat, the other party tightened his arms and hugged him into his arms. His handsome face was very serious, but the words he said were not necessarily: "I want to kiss you."
Shen Shi'an raised his head and kissed the corner of his mouth: "Okay, let go."
"It's not like this." Shen Xun pressed him into his arms again: "Put out your tongue and kiss."
Shen Shi'an's ears warmed up: "You are enough." Where did you learn to be so... slutty.
"Not enough, I think kissing you will never be enough. You said you can kiss when it's just the two of us, why not now?"
"... Time is not enough, we have to rush to the supernatural union building."
"Then let me kiss quickly." Shen Xun put his lips next to Shen Shi'an's ear and dawdled back and forth, his voice was magnetic and hoarse: "Let me kiss you, okay, okay..."
Shen Shi'an has never been able to refuse his acting like a baby. He used to be unable to do so when he was a child, but now that he has grown into a handsome, handsome man with gentle eyes, he seems to be more and more irresistible.
Nearly twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door, and Liu Fangzhou's cautious voice came from outside the door: "Well, Brother Xun, Brother Shen, I didn't mean to disturb. late."
Grass.
Panting for breath, Shen Shi'an kicked away the man on her body: beauty is a mistake, old man will not deceive me.
Zhao Xinjiang drove, and the three finally arrived at the trade union building on time. The cooperation agreement that should be signed has been signed long ago, and the number of votes that should be won has also been won long ago, so today's vote is actually just a formality, and the proposal was successfully passed without any surprise.
After discussing in detail the tasks of the first phase of this major project and the allocation of manpower and material resources, the meeting host Bao Qiuping put forward the next proposal to be voted on: All residents in the outer city, who are over 16 years old and under 50 years old, will be The original free living has been changed to a city construction fee of one point per day; all residents in the inner city, who are over the age of 14 and under the age of 55, have been increased from the original city construction fee of one point per day to two points.
This proposal was jointly proposed by the four major families. Strictly speaking, even if the supernatural union does not agree, it will definitely be implemented. The reason for sending the proposal is to complete the procedure, and to let the thirteen councilors and the organization organize a plan ahead of time. Be prepared, after all this change is closely related to all survivors.
"I think everyone knows why this proposal was proposed," Bao Qiuping said. "As the weather gets warmer and the number of mutated animals and zombie animals surges, Skynet now has to withstand dozens of waves of attacks every day on average, and the energy consumption is too high. If you don't gather your strength, it may be difficult to survive. Alright, let's vote now."
The thirteen people present here and the organizations or forces they represent are all residents of the inner city. Since they have chosen to live in the inner city, it does not make much difference to them whether to pay one point or two points a day. The real impact of this proposal is The more than 4 million residents living in the outer urban areas have changed from free living to paid living. I am afraid that this change will take a transitional period before they can fully adapt.
The capital base has always existed as an official post-disaster shelter. Logically speaking, no fees should be collected from the asylum seekers, but this disaster is extraordinary. The entire human race has reached a precarious state. The proposal also said that It is very clear that all the collected points will be used for city defense maintenance. Now that you have entered the base, there is no reason why you are not willing to pay for the benefits brought by the base. One point is equivalent to a crystal nucleus, and the expropriation targets in the outer urban areas are those over the age of 16 and under the age of 50. This age group is in the prime of life, and after the transformation and evolution of the body by the original virus and the supernatural virus, even ordinary people It is not difficult to hunt and kill a mutant zombie every day.
At this juncture, those who dare not kill zombies or can't get the one point per day, it is impossible to expect them to make any contribution when it comes to life and death.
Thirteen votes were in favour, and no one objected. The proposal passed very smoothly.
After the meeting, Shen Shi'an saw Shen Xun as soon as he went out.
He was leaning on the railing facing the door of the conference room, wearing the same dark green military uniform as himself, with his long legs crossed casually, staring at the door for an unknown amount of time.
As soon as he saw Shen Shi'an, he immediately came up to him, his steps were dazzling like the wind, and he planned to hug his waist, but when he thought of the three chapters of the agreement formulated by Shen Shi'an, he took his hands back, and the corners of his brows and eyes were full of smiles: "It's over?"
Shen Shi'an smiled, and covered his little finger with his sleeve: "Well, go home."
"Hmph!" Suddenly there was a strange cold snort from behind the two of them. As soon as Shen Shi'an turned his head, he met Xiao Lang, the leader of the tiger wolf regiment, who looked like someone owed him eight million.
"Is there something wrong?"
Xiao Lang didn't speak, but put his hands on his chest and accentuated his voice with a more yin and yang tone: "Hum!!"
Shen Shi'an didn't bother to pay attention to him, and directly took Shen Xun's hand and walked towards the elevator.
Xiao Lang strode after him, staring at the two hands clasped tightly and gnashing his teeth: "Didn't you tell me that he is your son! I went to the census office to investigate. He is twenty-six years old. Where the hell do you get a comparison?" You are five years older than yourself, ah!"
When Shen Xun originally registered, Shen Shi'an filled in the age of sixteen for him, but he didn't know that it had changed so much, so he asked Gu Changsheng to change it to twenty-six years old without leaving a trace, and his current appearance can be regarded as conform to.
Yuan Bing, the captain of Team Xuanyuan, and Song Mingxuan, the vice-captain, were also waiting for the elevator. Seeing that the three of them were about to come over to say hello and see if they could find out some psychological activity, Shen Xun raised his hand and wiped his neck with cold eyes. Cold and murderous. Yuan Bing trembled all over, the sixth sense alarm sounded, he turned around and led the deputy captain towards the stairs.
Shen Shi'an pressed the down button, and Xiao Lang became even angrier when he saw him directly ignoring him: "I'm asking you something! If you don't give me a reasonable explanation today, I will..."
"So what?"
Xiao Lang was silent for a moment, and then said viciously: "I will go to you every day to eat with sharp knives, pick expensive food, and I will eat poor you!" At the beginning, he really thought that the big dog was Shen Shi'an's son, out of reason and to please the beauties How much beef jerky did you send Gouzi for the purpose! Well, he thought he was feeding his son, so why would he want to feed him his mistress!
Shen Xun gritted his teeth, and Shen Shi'an scratched his palm twice to calm down his anger.
"There's nothing to explain," Shen Shi'an said, "This is called fun."
Xiao Lang's expression didn't look like someone owed him eight million, like someone fed him two tons of garlic: "...you two consider calling each other father and son for fun?"
"Yes, do you have any comments?"
The elevator came, Shen Shi'an raised his foot to go in, Xiao Lang also wanted to go in, but was blasted out by Shen Xun's backhand.
Now the tall and burly Gouzi put his arms around Shen Shi'an's waist, and mouthed a word to Xiao Lang outside the elevator.
Xiao Lang recognized it, that is: Does the butt still hurt
…
I care about you uncle! !
Seeing that the elevator was about to close, Xiao Lang hurriedly shouted: "Will you go on this railway mission!"
The elevator door was closed tightly, and a clear voice came out: "Go."
This mission is still a group mission, and it is the first stage of the main railway restoration plan, which is of great significance. In the plan, Luancheng, which is about 80 kilometers away from the capital base, will be the end point of the first phase, that is, to restore the main railway line between the capital base and Luancheng.
Luancheng was not only one of the hubs of the railway transportation network before the end of the world, but also had sufficient coal resources and was a famous coal mining place. If the first phase is successfully implemented, it not only means that the whole project is half successful, but also means that the urgent need to solve the energy problem of the Beijing base will be solved.
This is the most important step in the whole plan, Shen Shi'an must go. And he and Shen Xun must not be the only ones going.
Apart from the two of them, Chen Nan, Liu Fangzhou, Tao Yuan, Xu Ge, Xiong Manshan, and Lu Xiuyuan all went, Lin Ruan and Tang Song stayed and continued to study and preside over the overall situation. The old team also went to Qu Shuo. In addition, all the 1111 new team members will participate. This task is not only their training, but also the performance of the task will be an important criterion for assessment.
Shen Shi'an returned to Sharp Blade and stood on the training ground just after announcing the personnel arrangement for this mission, when there was a burst of wailing from the old team members. Among them, the female players wailed especially loudly.
Shen Shi'an was puzzled: "You want to participate in this mission so much?"
"Think!!!" The shouts were deafening.
"But this mission is actually not much different from other missions."
Damn, Yang Cancan clenched his fists and stomped his feet: What does it have to do with the content of the mission? The main reason is that I want to go out with the captain, you and the deputy captain on the mission!
But how could Shen Shi'an understand her thoughts. So Yang Cancan went to find Xu Ge in private.
Sure enough, the female compatriots know the female compatriots better, so on the day of the official departure, there are two more participating team members on the side of the sharp blade: Yang Cancan and Gao Xiaohui.
Girlfriends are gone, and boyfriends can't stay at home alone with an empty room.
On May 20th, a huge team of more than 2,000 people left the base with all kinds of supplies and embarked on a journey. Flags fluttered in the mighty long queue of various motor vehicles, and the golden sword and beast emblem was particularly dazzling.
And on the second day when Shen Shi'an and his group set off, a tall man with a cloak covering his whole body came to the entrance of the south gate of the capital base.
He raised his head and stared at the huge plaque engraved with the words "Beijing Base" on the majestic city wall for a while, then took off his cloak and hat, revealing a pair of dark green eyes, which were similar to Shen Xunzu's. face.
The breeze floated in the air, the man sniffed lightly, and a smile appeared on the corner of his lips:
"It really is here."
The author has something to say: Everyone knows that jj shut down the comment system for a month, right
In order to minimize the impact on the reading experience, I thought of a way.
Readers can still see their own comments and received replies in the background, and I can also see everyone’s comments in the background, so if you want to read other people’s comments, just leave a message, and I will copy and paste all the comments in this chapter to you? Which one do you want to reply to explain, I will paste it for the other party to see, and be your megaphone, how about it
