"Come on, if it doesn't work, run away. Didn't the minister tell us when he left? Don't confront them head-on. You need to hurry up on the project of replacing and opening the underground corridor. You have opened it up early, and I have a good idea."

"But... there are only so many people, and I have to send people to build greenhouses. The manpower is limited." Xie Weishan said helplessly.

"Anyway, since you're not fast enough, you have to focus on opening up the corridor first and building a greenhouse at the same time."

"Okay, I'll apply with the headquarters base." Xie Weishan said after thinking for a while.

"Um...."

The gentle evening breeze blows away the heat of the day, giving people a comfortable and relaxing feeling.

On the northern border, since the minister and the city lord left with their people, the defensive force here has become much weaker.

Ultraviolet lights flash in the distance. There is no need to worry about power problems now. Zombie generators have been set up in the north and a certain number of zombies have been captured to generate electricity.

There is no need to use diesel or coal to generate electricity as before.

The inner city seemed a bit empty with just them.

But the street lights in the north are all lit up, and the lights are bright.

The electricity generated here cannot be used up at all, and the battery is fully charged, so it would be a waste not to use it.

.......

The next day.

Dongtai and others, who had been prepared long ago, boarded the helicopter with their luggage.

It's been too long, too long since I've been back to the headquarters base.

There are many people applying to return to the headquarters base, and helicopters alone cannot transport so many people.

So they asked Zhou Tian, ​​Huang Zheng and others to simply bring more oil back to the base when they returned to the headquarters.

In addition to the fact that Zhongshi Yang and others had already arrived, after unloading the grain in their trucks, they also had to be filled with oil.

After all, it is impossible for more than a hundred vehicles to deliver only food and supplies and return without carrying anything.

Zhongshi Yang and Zhou Tian will stay in the oil city for one more day before setting off from the land and returning to the headquarters base.

Ju Tianrui, Dongtai and the others followed Li Yu back to the headquarters base in a helicopter.

Song Qi, who followed him out and walked all the way, has had an eye-opening experience these past few days.

He had never left the vicinity of the Da Zhangshu base, and what he saw and heard when he came out this time made him feel very excited.

Li Qi and Song Qi rotated the personnel stationed at the Wu City military base this time.

This time, when Li Yu returned to the headquarters base and passed by the Wu City Military Base, he happened to send them there to replace Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu and the team they led.

Zuo Ruxue and the others spent several months in the military base, bored to the point of explosion, and summed up their experiences and lessons.

When Song Qi and Li Qi set off from the base this time, they went to the library to borrow dozens of books. In addition, they used the computers provided to them by the base to download hundreds of movies and various games from the base data disk.

Just to cope with the boring days stationed at the Wu City military base.

As a transfer station, for the sake of concealment, the door must be closed at ordinary times.

Wait until the transportation convoys to and from Oil City or Da Zhangshu Base arrive and start again.

After all, there are not many people staying here, so if you can keep a low profile, keep a low profile.

When the base becomes stronger in the future, a new sub-base can also be established based on this military base.

Li Yu stood under the helicopter and waved to his third uncle and others.

Turned around and entered the helicopter.

A few minutes later.

The helicopter took off and headed south.

The third uncle on the ground in the inner city watched the back of the helicopter disappear into the sky.

"Residence..."

He habitually wanted to call Ju Tianrui, but as soon as he said a word, he realized that Ju Tianrui had already boarded the helicopter and was now returning to the headquarters base.

"Lao Luo."

"Come with me to the trading market later to see the effect of the points redemption system in the business district."

"Okay, Minister."

Ten minutes later, they left the oil city in an off-road pickup truck.

The business district is oriented east-west.

The east side is opposite the main gate of the trading market.

In the easternmost building of the business district is a gas station officially operated by Oil City.

Survivors can buy various fuels here.

It has been more than five years since the apocalypse, and fuel has become increasingly scarce. It is a rare commodity in the apocalypse, and few people can afford it.

Crunch!

Lao Qin stepped on the brakes and parked the car at the easternmost intersection of the business district.

The third uncle got out of the car, and Lao Luo and others quickly followed.

Just at this time, there were two cars parked in front of me, apparently to refuel.

However, those two cars didn't even have doors and looked extremely shabby.

Survivors cannot drive inside the business district, but they can drive outside the business district.

This gas station is right at the edge, which makes it convenient for survivors to drive here to refuel.

Being on the side does not require entering the commercial area, so it does not violate the regulations.

"The minister is here, hello, minister!" Shen Xiaoxiao, who was holding a gas gun, shouted loudly when he saw his third uncle.

Uncle Lan from the gas station also ran out.

"Hello, Minister!"

After Xie Dongming, who was standing next to the broken pickup truck, heard Shen Xiaoxiao's cry, he immediately turned around and saw the most powerful person in Oil City.

"Minister Li! You...you are here..." Xie Dongming met his third uncle when he came to the trading market for the first time, so he recognized him.

Although I have seen him later, I only saw him from a distance among the crowd, and I did not have such close contact with him.

The third uncle smiled and waved towards Shen Xiaoxiao and others.

After taking a look at Xie Dongming who was refueling, he felt a little familiar.

"What do you use to refuel here?" Third Uncle asked.

Xie Dongming turned his head and glanced at Shen Xiaoxiao, and replied nervously:

"Accumulate...points. With 5 points, you can add 10 liters of gasoline."

The third uncle continued to ask: "Is it convenient to use? How does it feel?"

When Xie Dongming heard Third Uncle's question, he knew why Third Uncle was here.

The research visit is coming!

"It's convenient, very convenient. In the past, when we wanted to sell the smoked chicken and food, we often had to bargain with people, and we also had to wait for a long time before we could sell the items."

"Now we can go directly to the official redemption center and exchange them for points. We can use the points to buy whatever we want in the trading market. We no longer have to carry large and small bags of materials to exchange with others like before. It is very convenient!

And it’s safe!”

When he heard the word smoked chicken, the third uncle immediately remembered who he was.

The first team to come to the trading market to trade, this organization is called the Explorers.

The third uncle laughed and said:

"Aren't you worried that there will be something wrong with the points you exchanged?"

Xie Dongming shook his head and said:

"That's impossible. We believe that such a big force in Oil City cannot do such a thing. If such a thing is done, the credibility of the entire trading market will be lost."

"We all like this point redemption system. The points can be kept here. It's quite troublesome to carry the supplies back and forth every time you redeem them like before."

"And it's very troublesome to carry it with you after leaving the trading market..."

.....

He talked about a lot of benefits of the points redemption system, which made the third uncle stop and feel quite happy.

It seems that Oil City still has credibility in the eyes of many survivors.

The reason why points, an invisible and intangible thing, can serve as a medium of exchange all rely on the trust and endorsement of Oil City.

"Then do you think there are any flaws in this points system?" Third Uncle asked.

"Forehead....."
