They were crowded in this small space, watching helplessly as the zombies behind them rushed over.

I kept pushing toward the iron railing, but it was very solid and couldn't be pushed at all.

They can only watch as the zombies get closer and closer to them, and then devour them.

The people in the iron railings were frightened when they saw this scene, and they thought to themselves: Fortunately, they didn't go out.

This iron railing that they once regarded as the most hated and extremely strong iron railing has now become their protective umbrella.

Block the intrusion of zombies from outside.

Jiuge saw the tragedy outside, with fear in his eyes, and then took a deep look at Old Huangtou standing next to him.

Outside the factory, things were not much better at this time.

All the zombies broke in, and the biker gang's lair was suddenly filled with zombies, and there were shrill wails everywhere.

.........

More than ten kilometers away, there is the Oil City.

There was a sea of ​​fire outside the wall, and everyone inside the wall was resting except for the personnel on duty.

The snoring sound that comes from time to time makes people feel at ease after hearing it.

There is a rare quietness.

.......

Thousands of miles away.

Big camphor tree base.

The walls of the third outer city, including the duty room above, have been built. The walls are connected to each other, and the walls of the third outer city can be reached from the main entrance.

Tonight, my second uncle has trouble sleeping.

Originally he didn't have to be on duty today, but he couldn't sleep due to insomnia, so he simply stopped sleeping.

He has experience in dealing with insomnia. He can survive one night today, then stay awake during the day tomorrow, and then naturally fall asleep tomorrow night.

There was nothing to do in the inner city, so he went to the wall for a walk.

The wall is steep and tall, ten stories above the ground. Such a high wall gives people a sense of security.

There were very few zombies outside. My second uncle walked along the wall and saw only a few.

Since many cooperators and non-staff members have lived nearby, and some wooden fences have been spontaneously built on national highways and some low places, there have been fewer and fewer zombies able to reach the fences without rain.

"You haven't slept yet?" The uncle walked out of the duty room, happened to see the second uncle, and asked in surprise.

The second uncle shook his head and said, "If you can't sleep, come out for a walk."

"What's wrong, are you worried?" The uncle poured the tea leaves into the trash can next to the duty room, shook the tea cup and said.

"No, I just simply can't sleep." The second uncle said.

The second uncle said, leaning against the wall behind.

The moon and stars are sparse, and everything is silent.

The chirping and rustling sounds of insects outside the woods, coupled with the gentle evening breeze, make people feel peaceful.

When the uncle heard what the second uncle said, he stopped talking and leaned against the wall with the second uncle.

"Jing Lue must be twenty-one years old this year, right?"

After a while, the second uncle broke the silence and said to the elder uncle.

Liu Jinglue is the son of his uncle.

The uncle smiled and said: "Twenty-two."

After finishing speaking, he said with some regret: "It has been more than two years in a blink of an eye, almost three years. When he came here, he was still 19 and just a freshman. I didn't expect it to go by so fast."

Hearing this, the second uncle nodded in agreement and said, "Yeah, time flies so fast, and I don't know what the future will be like. There were natural disasters in the past two years. So far this year, apart from floods, everything else has been fine.

, but this feeling of uncertainty is really uncomfortable.”

The uncle had a better attitude and said calmly: "Let the future be left to the future. It is impossible for us to know what will happen in the future. Do your best and obey fate."

"You have a good attitude." The second uncle glanced at the older uncle with a smile, and then said: "The things you brought back from the Western Conference last time were too many, and it took several days to sort them out. By the way,

, how did it feel last time you went out?”

The uncle thought for a while and said: "It's just like that. Actually, I don't feel much. The main reason is that it's a long journey and my butt hurts because I'm old."

Speaking of this, the uncle laughed.

But soon he stopped smiling: "I just feel a lot of pressure, taking so many people with me. It's fine during the day, but at night I worry about zombies breaking through the protection. After taking so many people out, I want to keep them intact."

Bring it back."

When the uncle said this, he had a serious face.

"When I'm on the road during the day, I hardly meet anyone, but it makes me very depressed. When I sleep at night, I feel uneasy and nervous. It's completely different from being in the base. After returning to the base, I feel like

An unreal feeling.”

"What does it feel like?"

"It's so safe. It seems like there is no need to worry about safety issues at all."

The second uncle was silent for a while, and sighed with emotion: "Yeah, maybe you can only appreciate the value when you lose it. In Maslow's needs theory, the lowest physiological needs, food and clothing, and safety needs. These two lowest needs

, but it has become the most luxurious need in the last days."

The uncle also felt the same, nodded and said:

"So, in the last days, dignity, morality, and emotional value have become less important.

The corruption of human nature is inevitable. After all, we are all going to starve to death, so who cares about things about face and values.

When we came back, we met someone who drove nails into the road and punctured the tires. They must be people who wanted to rob us. Maybe because there were so many of us, those people didn't show up, but I think if we

If there are few people, people who may be lurking in the dark may come out to rob."

...........

The two chatted, talking about Lao Dong, other people in the base, and their opinions on other people in the base.

Because they stood high up and their voices were not loud, they chatted casually in the gentle evening breeze.

"That old director's daughter is a top student at the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China. She seems to be majoring in electronic engineering. She has recently been tinkering with long-distance radio transmission and reception there."

"This is a good thing. If we can communicate over long distances, we will be able to communicate with the base at any time like when we were in the Western Conference. It will not be like now. We can only contact the base when we return to Gan City.

."

"She said it was more than 30 kilometers away. There is no radio transmission or reception in the ultra-long range, so there is no problem with reception.

There are just some problems with the transmission. These are generally only found in military radios, but she said that you can find some materials and make them yourself. What about oscillators, frequency multipliers, low-frequency amplifiers and power amplifiers... It's all a mess, and I don't really understand it.

Anyway, I have already issued the mission, and I will try my best to get everyone to find them."

"Well, this matter is an important matter and needs to be dealt with carefully. But after all, people like Lao Dong are all talented people."

.......

The night was quiet, and two men in their forties were chatting in the gentle evening breeze.

.......

.......

Oil city.

It was early the next morning, and it was still dark.

Li Yu got up. He slept soundly last night and woke up feeling refreshed early in the morning.

The flames outside the wall were extinguished at some point, and the air was filled with the smell of rotten sewer eggs, and they were rotten eggs that had been soaked for a long time.

There was an unpleasant smell of coke mixed with it.

The two flavors came together and made Li Yu, who had just got off the car, frown. The smell was a bit strong.

Uncle San, Ju Tianrui and others had already gotten up early, had packed their things, and were sitting on the steps of the RV eating breakfast.

"Uncle Third, I'll go to the biker gang's lair later. Are you going to the food growing spot in the west that was colonized by the biker gang?"

"Everything is fine." The third uncle ate the dry food, raised his head and said casually.

"Okay, let's arrange it like this for the time being, and let Lao Bi and the others guard this place."

After speaking, Li Yu shouted to Lao Bi, who was more than ten meters away: "Lao Bi, come here."

Lao Bi had just packed up his things. After hearing Li Yu's call, he quickly ran over: "Mr. Li, please call me."

Li Yu nodded slightly and said to Lao Bi: "Uncle San and I will go to the motorcycle gang's lair later. We need someone to guard this place. You can stay."

When Lao Bi heard this, although he also wanted to go there together, Li Yu's tone did not mean that he was discussing with him, so he nodded and said, "Okay."

"Well, then I'll leave forty people for you, okay, you go and do your work first," Li Yu said.
