The battle to defend the base lasted for five days. The first two days were fine, but everyone was exhausted in the last two days. Even with the shift system, the high-intensity fighting still made everyone extremely tired.
The Zhengyang Brigade is relatively good. Although there are few people, all of them are of good level, whether they are fighting on the front line or doing logistics in the back. All of them are incompetent. The whole team runs very efficiently and the atmosphere is very united. In addition, the casualty rate is very low and the food is adequate. The most important thing is that the clinic here has a sleep aid service.
With the assistance of wood-type ability users, one hour of sleep is equivalent to two or three hours. The need for sleep time is greatly reduced, and the quality of sleep is greatly improved. People are in good spirits and refreshed, so their work efficiency is naturally very high. Therefore, even if the frequency of shifts becomes faster and faster, and they may have to go back to the front line again within four or five hours after retiring, people will not feel very tired.
But it’s different in other places.
The entire base wall is very long. The Ningshi base is built at the foot of the mountain. In addition to the mountain behind it, the other sides are all defended by the wall. So if you measure it, the wall can be 20 to 30 kilometers long. The Zhengyang Brigade is responsible for one-tenth of it, and the rest is mainly due to Lu Jianping's troops, and other forces of all sizes naturally have to contribute.
Although it is a matter of life and death, everyone is selfish and always hopes that others can contribute more and they can contribute less. If there is a loss of manpower and material resources, it is best that they are others'.
With this kind of mentality, it is naturally not easy to work together and give it our all.
After several meetings, intimidation and suppression, Lv Jianping finally made other forces reluctantly contribute manpower and effort. However, even if everyone united, there was still a very practical problem. Although the entire base had a large population of several million, in places with high population density, hundreds of people were huddled in a house of about 100 square meters, with only one bunk bed to sleep on. However, there were not many people who were truly strong and had good psychological qualities and could climb the city wall to kill zombies.
Therefore, they are not as good as the Zhengyang Battalion, which can send four waves of people to the front line in rotation every day.
Moreover, even if a large number of personnel are rotated, their food supply cannot keep up.
Not everyone has opened up a new area to grow vegetables and raise pigs like the Zhengyang Brigade did.
They are not united, don't eat well, and don't get enough sleep. Of course, they will become less and less powerful as the fight goes on.
It was the fifth day of the zombie siege, and night was approaching. Thinking of the zombies that would become even crazier at night, Lu Jianping had a headache. He grabbed Ye Xiao and asked him what was going on with the sleep-aiding project in their clinic. Was it really that powerful? Could a wood-type psychic make people sleep as if they were replenished with immortal energy? Why did his wood-type psychic make people feel even more dizzy and nauseous after trying it
When Ye Xiao thought about the grand scene of people lining up to ask his little girl for help with sleeping, he was not as proud and happy as others imagined. His face even looked a little bad, and his tone was also indifferent: "That's true, but there are very few wood-type psychics who can do it, and the clinic is completely overwhelmed."
This directly blocked Lu Jianping's mouth. Lu Jianping was about to ask if he could let his people cut in line and experience it, but he choked. He touched his increasingly smooth forehead and settled for the next best thing, asking if he could let his wood-type mutant go to learn from the masters and learn some skills.
Ye Xiao also knew that the situation here was not good for Lu Jianping. The real pillars were Lu Jianping's elite soldiers, but those tens of thousands of elite soldiers were exhausted these days and had almost no time to rest. I heard that their casualties were getting higher and higher. Thinking that Mingze had learned from Tan Tan and could now help non-superpower people fall asleep quickly and relieve fatigue, it would be fine for him to teach. He agreed and comforted Lu Jianping: "Hold on for another day or two, it will be over soon."
Lu Jianping sighed and nodded.
It was getting dark, and the zombies would be very crazy after dark, so Ye Xiao always had to guard the city wall himself at night, without exception. He would only go back to rest during the day, so he went to the clinic before it got dark.
Lin Tantan is still busy. It's like this every day when he comes here these days. Now, let alone the beds in the clinic, the corridors are full of people sleeping. A large shed was temporarily built next to the clinic, with some large bunk beds for people to sleep on. Almost all the time, the place is full of people sleeping here, and almost everyone snores loudly, with bad breath, foot odor and sweat odor all over the place.
If they fall asleep normally, these alert people will basically wake up immediately when they hear some noise around them. Especially after a fierce battle with zombies, or watching their companions die at the mouth of zombies, they may not be able to sleep well.
But those who fall asleep with the help of supernatural powers can sleep very deeply.
There is no anxiety, no pressure on the heart, no thoughts about life and death, no fear, confusion and uneasiness about the future. The mind is blank, and the only thing on which they think about is sleeping. Unless someone beats drums and gongs or shouts at them, they basically will not wake up. So even if the snoring sounds are louder than slaughtering pigs, and people walk by from time to time, these people can still sleep soundly with their legs spread out and drooling.
When they wake up, they are full of energy again.
Ye Xiao should be relieved, but in fact he felt a little depressed.
Ever since Xu Qin and Jiang Xiaotian left Lin Tantan that day, both full of energy and inspiration, she completely expanded the scope of her treatment targets and was no longer limited to the 300-odd patients. Anyone who felt that their rest quality was poor could come to her. One work point could be exchanged for one sleep-aid opportunity, and then people lined up to come.
At this time, Lin Tan Tan was directing three people to lie down in an empty space on the big bunk bed: "You just lie down here." After they lay down in a row, she sent out three green ribbons and pierced them into the heads of the three people. After more than ten seconds, the three fell asleep. Two minutes later, distinctive snoring sounds began to sound like a fight.
Lin Tan Tan maintained this position for five minutes before withdrawing her hand. She opened her mouth to yawn, but just as she was about to inhale, she inhaled a thick, indescribable stench and sour smell. She quickly covered her mouth and quietly left the greenhouse.
Then he saw Ye Xiao.
Lin Tantan's eyes lit up: "You're here!" Her face looked a little tired, but she was in a very good mood. Although she was very busy and tired, she was very happy to be able to help.
Ye Xiao smiled and said, "How was your day?"
"Very good, how about you guys?"
"That's good." Ye Xiao said, "Can you take a break?"
Lin Tantan felt a little dizzy from constantly using his supernatural powers. Since no one was in line at the moment, he nodded and agreed. "Walk with me. My body is going to be stiff from staying still all day long."
They went to the new district. Compared with other places, the new district was quieter. Crops of different heights grew quietly in the fields. Animals in pig pens, chicken coops and other places also lived peacefully, barking from time to time.
At this time, many people were working in the fields. The planting-type wood-type ability users were trying hard to grow the crops to keep up with the recent high consumption, and some were picking half-grown vegetables.
Because people may take turns to rest and retreat from the front line at any time, the big kitchen needs to prepare meals all the time, so there are always people busy in the fields here, and there are always people picking chickens and slaughtering sheep from the animal shed, killing them nearby, and sending them for cooking after a rough processing.
So although it is relatively quiet here, there is also a tense atmosphere. The inner wall is connected to the courtyard of the Zhengyang Brigade, and the outer wall is the zombie army. Naturally, there are people fighting the zombies on top of them.
Lin Tan talked about the city wall. The wall had collapsed several times in the past five days and had been repaired several times. Now it looked a bit tattered, with varying depths, and full of traces of zombies' collisions and scratches and various blood stains.
Lin Tantan had actually gone to see the zombie tide on the first day. At that time, the zombies really were like a tide. Five days had passed, and now the zombies were much sparser and their momentum was not as strong. They could not climb the city walls so quickly to pile up corpses, but there were still many of them.
Especially now that the ammunition is almost used up, they can only rely on their superpowers to fight them, so people are still under a lot of pressure. Everyone on the city wall here has a very serious expression. When they saw the two people coming up, they just greeted them and immediately stared at the zombies.
Lin Tantan looked around and saw the increasingly desolate land, the corpses scattered all over the ground under the bloody setting sun, the zombies staggering closer, and then seeing them falling down one after another. She suddenly pointed to the distance and said, "Look over there, it seems like a wave of zombies are retreating, right?"
Ye Xiao looked over and said, "Zombies also have brains. When they see the corpses of their compatriots scattered all over the ground and think about how they can't defeat them, they will naturally think of running away. This is not the first time that zombies have retreated instead of advancing."
Lin Tan Tan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you've retired. How long will it take for this to end?"
"Two days at most, no longer. In fact, I want to scare them so that they will retreat sooner."
Lin Tan was stunned: "How do you scare me?"
Ye Xiao was about to speak when the communicator rang. Lin Tantan was standing close by, so he naturally heard the voice. It was Xu Qin, and there was excitement in his voice. As calm as Xu Qin was, he rarely got so excited.
He said that the transformation of the magic machine has been completed and it can be used.
Lin Tantan was even more surprised. She had been very busy these days and had not paid much attention to other things. What modifications had Xu Qin made to the magic machine
However, when he left that day, he did say that he had found a new idea and could make a new design for the magic machine.
Ye Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and said he knew and would go over right away. Then he said to Lin Tantan, "I'm going to scare them. Do you want to watch?"
Lin Tantan was full of curiosity and went back to the compound with him.
At this time, a line formed in the clinic again, waiting for Lin Tantan to go for sleep assistance, but she was only curious about the appearance of the Shen Ji after its transformation and how Ye Xiao would scare the zombies, so she asked them to wait.
Then she saw the magic machine, which looked no different from before. Ye Xiao also looked around it. Xu Qin's eyes were shining with excitement. She said to Ye Xiao: "It can last for about five minutes. The possibility of failure within five minutes is very low, but it is not impossible. You must be careful and be ready to abandon the machine at any time."
