Bai Xiaohu slept comfortably in the car with the chicken and the cat. She was awakened by the noise outside. When she opened her eyes, the sky was bright. People were packing up and seemed to be preparing to leave.
Bai Xiaohu immediately opened the car door and got out. Everyone nearby turned to look at her. Their sight seems to have a deeper meaning as if they were pleased to see one of their own.
Bai Xiaohu didn’t care. These were all members of the Zhongyang Team. They were originally people of her own.
Lu Ye came over and saw her sleepy eyes and slightly messy hair. He knew she didn’t sleep enough, but now was not the time for her to go back and rest: “Let me lead you to the main force before they set off.”
Bai Xiaohu remembered that he asked her to pretend she was here to check on the anti-infection drugs yesterday, so she nodded.
Lu Ye gave her a pack of biscuits: “Do you want to eat?”
Bai Xiaohu nodded and took one, which was chocolate-filled, crispy, and delicious. Lu Ye also opened a pack of milk for her and put a straw in it before handing it to her. The service was quite thoughtful.
Bai Xiaohu didn’t think much about it, she just ate whatever he gave her.
When she reached the main force, her stomach was somewhat filled.
The main force was divided into three groups in Ningcheng, stationed in different places, each with more than 100,000 people. The commander of the group they came to was a middle-aged man with a humble face, who seemed to have a good relationship with Lu Ye. He was surprised to see Bai Xiaohu, and immediately let her check the anti-infective drug when he heard the reason for her visit.
Bai Xiaohu looked through the medicine and then went to see the people who had taken an anti-infection drug yesterday after being infected. They all looked fine and there weren’t any problems.
The commander told Lu Ye: “The most important thing is the lack of ammunition. I talked a little to the base about it last night. I heard that the base wanted to trade with Haicheng Base. This transaction is quite necessary. Haicheng has a lot of weapons and ammunition, which can solve our urgent need.”
He knew that the people from Haicheng had a relationship with Lu Ye, so he mentioned this.
Bai Xiaohu was reminded of this and thought of the Zhuang Family women who were Lu Ye’s aunt. She really didn’t like the way that person yelled, so when she and Lu Ye were walking back, she asked him: “Are you short of weapons?”
“Well, after clearing the three cities, we have almost no ammunition left, and we have to leave a troop to garrison each city. The garrison troops are small in number and highly dangerous, so they must have heavy weapons to support them. In short, we are a little stretched now.”
Although Jiangcheng Base is now acting like they don’t take Haicheng Exchange Group seriously, in reality, it won’t take more than a few days until they have to sit down and discuss the transaction with them seriously. That’s when Haicheng Base will put forward conditions.
However, as long as General Xu’s brain is not broken, he will not let them make plans on Bai Xiaohu.
Bai Xiaohu thought for a while: “But it is not good to always rely on buying weapons from others right?”
“Right, we will produce them ourselves in the future, but it is difficult to do so right now.”
Bai Xiaohu said: “The garrison is short of manpower and weapons. If a large number of zombies approach, it will be very dangerous. Then let’s find some helpers for them!”
Lu Ye: “What helpers? “
Bai Xiaohu smiled and said, “Do you know what happened at the pharmaceutical factory after you left?” She told him about how someone tried to steal trees and flowers and almost ended up killing themself, and also mentioned the guard vines.
“You can plant guard vines all over the city’s periphery. When the zombies come, they will be tied up tightly when they step on them, and the troops can slowly deal with them. In fact, I think Leigong Trees are more powerful and helpful, but they must be fed with lightning, and they are prone to random discharge. “
Lu Ye thought for a while, then stopped and said, “I think it’s feasible.”
Bai Xiaohu’s eyes lit up, “It’s really feasible, isn’t it!”
Lu Ye asked, “Can you get so many tree and vine seedlings?”
“Yes, I have a lot.” When the time comes, no matter how many zombies these spiritual plants stop or kill, they should all be counted as merit points for her. After the incident with the God-killing Team, Bai Xiaohu realized that merit points don’t have to be obtained by saving someone, but it depends on what she did and the consequences it led to. As long as it’s a good thing, she can get merit points.
Lu Ye looked at her, then returned to the main force: “I’ll discuss it with the base. “
Without a doubt, the Base agreed to their suggestion after a quick discussion.
After the three cities around Jiangcheng are cleaned up, there will be a zombie vacuum zone. As long as the periphery of the three cities is recovered, the interior will be very safe.
In the long run, Jiangcheng Base plans to expand the base, rebuild the city, set up a government, rectify order, resume production, and improve people’s living standards.
As for the zombies in the outside world, they have to take care of internal affairs before dealing with them, right?
In this case, it is really just a matter of guarding the borderline.
If Bai Xiaohu has a better way that does not rely on weapons, so that Jiangcheng Base can take the initiative in front of Haicheng Base, this is surely for the best.
Jiangcheng Base has more than 10 million people, and more than 100 thousand espers. As long as there is no zombie tide, it is easy to make these people go on a rotation to garrison the cities.
So Lu Ye asked the Zhongyang Team to go back to the base, get some rest, help the Baishou Team, and participate in the construction. He on the other hand will take Bai Xiaohu to Tongcheng.
Tongcheng is guarded by a troop of more than 30,000 people. Once they are scattered around the city, they are not very impressive, but if there are more people, the logistics can’t keep up, and the food and other resources of Jiangcheng Base are very tight.
Lu Ye told their leader about the plan. These soldiers were a little skeptical. Can plants be so capable? But if it works, it will be a good helper, so they divided the members in half, one to garrison alert state, and the other small half started farming.
The first batch of plants were all guard vines.
This thing is available in many places in the spatial treasure. Bai Xiaohu exported a large pile of it and placed them on a piece of land, then asked the soldiers to get the plant from the pile.
In just half a day, many of these vines took root in the soil and grew very tenaciously, so they had to be forcefully pulled off the ground before they could move them to a different location.
After just two days, a fence made of guard vines more than ten meters wide and more than three kilometers long appeared in the northern suburbs of Tongcheng.
This place is separated by a mountain from another city, so zombies often come over the mountains. On the night the guard vines were planted, a group of zombies climbed over the mountain.
Originally, the people stationed every night had to be very vigilant and dared not relax. But this time, as soon as they caught the movement of the zombies, they heard howling sounds of them panicking. When they looked over, they saw that more than a hundred zombies were tied up tightly and wouldn’t stop struggling as soon as they stepped into the guard vine area.
They beheaded these zombies with great ease and moved the bodies to burn. These soldiers finally believed in the power of the guard vines. They thought that if the guard vine fence was wide enough, they would not be afraid of even a large group of zombies!
The only worry is whether these vines will go crazy one day and attack their own people, or reproduce too much and become an invasive species.
Bai Xiaohu said: “No, they are very obedient. You can find some grass-type espers to communicate with them and tell them that their enemies are from outside, are zombies. As for the reproduction of too many, it won’t happen. When a guard vine is near its death, it will differentiate into a small vine to replace the original and continue to guard in the same location. What you should worry about now is how to plant them all around the three cities.”
