During the day, everyone performs their duties and is very busy. Even if they meet, they just greet each other in a hurry, but they still gather around the fire to discuss every night. Asking questions and at the same time proposing a solution to the problem, constantly improving, busy but full, tired but full of strength.
A new batch of people would come in every day, and the time passed day by day. In the sweat of winter, three months passed unknowingly.
Excluding the elderly and children under the age of 14, the number of people in the resettlement site has reached more than 2,000. And a month ago, the resettlement site had stopped recruiting newcomers. There are already more than 200 children in the resettlement site alone. The originally empty resettlement site suddenly became very lively, and even felt a little crowded. The physical training of the adults was changed from on-campus to off-campus.
The original one-meter-high wall was raised to three meters high, and it was filled with sharp wooden thorns, and the safety passage at the back door has also been built. The patrol team of ten people has become a team of twenty people, and each team is equipped with super-signal walkie-talkies that are effective within five kilometers, and ten drones equipped with high-definition night vision cameras are at the resettlement point 24 hours a day The high-altitude patrol within a range of 500 meters, the screen is transmitted back to the monitoring room, and the monitoring room is dedicated to five people, working in four-hour shifts.
The roofs of the four buildings are all equipped with solar generators, which can fully supply daily electricity. They dug a well in the playground behind the school. Although the water source is limited, there is no problem with daily drinking water. Every three days, the team that wins the PK can also get a reward for a hot bath, otherwise, they have to use supplies to buy hot water in the boiler room. The supplies can be obtained during normal training or working at the resettlement point.
Everyone at the settlement has an ID badge.
There are thirty people cooking in the cafeteria alone.
The daily breakfast is porridge and steamed buns, served with some pickles made by the aunt in the kitchen.
Lunch is real rice, and the side dishes come from Gao Yue's experimental vegetable market. Zhang Xiaobai once proposed to name the vegetable farm Gaoyue Vegetable Farm, but Gao Yue resolutely rejected it. Gao Yue is much more relaxed now. There are two more doctors in the infirmary, a male surgeon in his forties with rich surgical experience, and a 28-year-old intern. In addition, Huang Mengyao, who had studied under Gao Yue for three months, no longer needed her to watch over the infirmary, and the experimental vegetable farm was already on the right track, enough to supply the needs of the resettlement site, and there was also a special person in charge. She devoted all her attention to the antidote. After stockpiling 500 No. 1 antidotes, the research on more advanced antidotes began.
There are 1,500 people who have passed the assessment and persisted in the high-intensity training. A small team of 20 people and a large team of 100 people. Each team has a team leader.
There will be a review every week. The strongest team can get a reward of 20 catties of supplies per person, which is very important for team members with families.
"Captain Zhao! Your team won the first place again this time! This is the third time that you have won the first place! It's too much! At least give us a chance to other teams!" After the evaluation, the leader of the fifth team The captain caught up with the captain of the third brigade in front. Although he said he was blaming him, his tone was extremely relaxed.
Zhao Quan smiled and said: "There is no way, our team is full of seniors and juniors. If you don't work hard, your family will starve! If you don't work hard, you can't do it!"
The captain of the other brigade immediately said after hearing this: "Bah! Who doesn't have a wife and children! My brat even told his classmates that our team must be number one this time, and I'm ashamed to go back to see him! Originally, I was thinking of winning a few bags of candy for him at the material office to show off to him. I don’t care, Zhao Quan, when you go to the material office to collect the material, give me the bag of sugar! I’ll go back to you Take it from the dormitory!"
Zhao Quan laughed, and said briskly, "No problem!"
The third brother knows that the most important thing for a team is unity, so he pays special attention to this aspect. Every week, he will call these captains for a meeting, emphasizing the importance of unity countless times. Friendship comes first and competition comes second. But judging from the current situation, the third brother didn't hold those meetings in vain.
After the competition, they dragged their tired bodies back to the resettlement site accompanied by the sunset in the west. They originally planned to go straight to the cafeteria, but found that the playground was already full of tables and chairs. There are bowls and chopsticks on the table.
In the two outermost rows, the children who had already finished today's class all sat down obediently.
People were surprised and said: "Dining at the playground tonight?!"
On the table at the front of each row are the signs of which team and which team.
After a while of chaos, the well-trained people quickly sat down according to their own teams. It was the first time for everyone to have an open-air meal on the playground, and since the competition had just ended, everyone was discussing excitedly, and the playground was very lively. Such a scene is too rare in the last days, but people who have lived in the resettlement site for several months are already used to it.
It didn't take long for the food to arrive.
Soon, there were sounds of surprise and swallowing during the banquet.
"Fuck! Eat meat today!"
"It's really meat!"
"Where did you get the meat! I feel like I haven't eaten meat in decades!"
"What day is it today?"
One plate of fried meat with green peppers, one plate of fried eggs, two plates of green vegetables, and one plate of kelp soup.
Before the end of the world, this is a very simple dish.
But in the last days, when most people can't get enough to eat every meal, what kind of extravagant meal is this? This is at least the treatment only available to leaders of the three major bases!
Although they usually have meals at night, they usually only eat one or two green vegetables, some pickles and rice, and eat meat. How long ago was that
During the chaotic banquet, someone suddenly hesitated and said, "Isn't today the Chinese New Year?"
The chaotic exclamation and discussion stopped abruptly, as if someone had suddenly pressed the mute button.
They are exhausted every day, how can they remember any festival? But the meaning of the Spring Festival is completely different. Soon, more people's voices sounded: "What's the number today?"
"What's the date of Chinese New Year this year?"
"February 8th!"
"Today seems to be New Year's Eve—"
The banquet fell silent again.
Unexpectedly, it is really Chinese New Year.
The first Spring Festival after the end of the world unexpectedly came so unexpectedly.
People had mixed feelings in their hearts, and they didn't know what to say for a while. There were more than 2,000 people sitting in the playground, but the place was completely silent.
Until a loud voice came from the radio that had never been used, breaking the silence.
People soon saw a person standing on the podium next to the flag raising.
Everyone knows people, it can be said that most of the people present on the field have passed his assessment and entered the resettlement point.
The third brother was standing on the podium with a microphone in his hand. He seemed a bit unaccustomed to speaking on such an occasion, his face was tense, and he subconsciously glanced down the stage. Gu Ning approached Zhang Xiaobai, Cheng Ming, Zhong Xu, Luo Long, Gao Yue Huang Mengyao, Gu's father, Gu's mother, Hong's sister, Jia Daochang, the soldiers of the third company, and Xiang Xu Hehe, these little fellows were all sitting in the first row, all of them looked at him with smiles on their faces, and the third brother smiled slightly at them. He nodded, then raised his eyes, glanced at the playground for a week, and said, "Good evening everyone!" The voice came from the radio, the volume was not very loud, but it was enough for the people on the playground to hear him speak .
There was a burst of warm applause immediately on the playground.
The third brother quickly stretched out his hand to press down, and said, "Everyone applaud and drum lightly. Don't bring in zombies to spoil the fun on this great day."
The third brother's words immediately caused a burst of laughter from below, but they all restrained and lowered their voices.
The third brother continued: "I believe everyone already knows what day it is today. That's right, today is the night of the New Year's Eve. At this time last year, we were still in our own home, sitting next to our family members, eating good wine Delicious food, roasting and watching the Spring Festival Gala."
The banquet was very quiet, and everyone was listening intently to Third Brother's words. When they heard this passage, people's faces were filled with sadness.
"First of all, I would like to thank the brothers and sisters who are still patrolling outside and on duty in various positions." He continued: "I know everyone can't help but want to eat, but I hope everyone can bear it a little longer. , give me a few minutes, and say something that must be said." His eyes scanned the audience: "This should be the most difficult year in the lives of everyone here, and I am the same. We have lost too many relatives, Friends, it was hard to get together here. This is the first Spring Festival we have spent together and the first Spring Festival after the end of the world, and I hope that every year in the future, we can be together Celebrate the Spring Festival. There is no TV, no Spring Festival Gala, but we have wine, food, enough to eat, and warm clothes. And outside of us, there are more people, maybe even today, they are all hungry Stomach, pouring cold wind."
"Please tell me! Would you like to be like them?"
"I don't want to!"
The people sitting in the audience were very emotional. If they hadn't chosen to come here to participate in the assessment on a whim, maybe they are still in those resettlement sites. Freeze, but also worry about zombie invasion all the time. But now they are sitting here, having wine and meat, and can sleep peacefully in the warm quilt at night without fear. A few months ago, they absolutely never imagined that they would lead a life like this. Three months ago, they were always worrying about three meals a day, trying to reduce the amount of activity to avoid excessive physical exertion, which caused their bodies to shrink more and more. Looking around, everyone here is almost completely different from three months ago. Everyone is full of energy, with slightly bulging muscles under their clothes, and their bodies are full of strength. After nearly three months of intensive training After that, everyone mastered the fighting skills and learned how to shoot. They had full confidence to face the zombies outside, and even when they went out to patrol, they wished that a few zombies could bump into them to practice their hands, but who could do it? Thinking that these people would tremble when they saw zombies three months ago
"However, like us, they are longing for a peaceful life. And you are just luckier than them. How can we achieve peace? There are tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people in places we can't see outside. Zombies, as long as zombies exist, we cannot have true peace and security. To be safe, we must make ourselves stronger and stronger. How to become stronger? A person's strength is not enough, a person It is not enough for the resettlement site to be strong, if we want to be safer, we must become stronger, and to become stronger, we must unite more people!"
"There are thousands of resettlement sites in the capital, and there are hundreds of thousands of people. They can't take up weapons because they don't have enough to eat, and they go to kill zombies. Their fate is very likely to die under the mouth of zombies. Most of them will become new zombies, so why don't we include them in our ranks first and strengthen our team? We can't wait for the zombies to eat us and then think of the weapons in our hands, but when the zombies come Before eating us, take the initiative to protect our homeland! Starting tomorrow, we will open a new chapter in our lives! We want to build a base! A base that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the three major bases in the capital! A civilian base! That will It is our future home, where our next generation will grow up safely and healthily, and we will swear to the death to defend our home and prevent zombies from stepping into our home! Everyone here, if you are willing to join us to build this belonging Those of our own base, please raise your glass of wine!"
After the third brother finished speaking, he had already raised the wine glass in his hand high.
The people of the third company in the front row raised their wine glasses almost immediately without hesitation.
And the people on the playground who were completely shocked by this huge news, after a short silence, one after another, raised the wine glasses in their hands as high as the tide.
The third brother burst into tears, even his voice was trembling but still full of strength: "Cheers to our base!!!"
"cheers!"
