Doomsday rat

Chapter 44
Zhang Tao originally wanted to go to the fort and make do with Lin Na, and called it safety. Unfortunately, Lin Na did not agree, so he could only choose a house with a bathroom on the south side of Liu Quanyou's house.Anyway, he was alone, and he ate together in a small courtyard. A place where the wind and rain would not leak was enough to sleep.

In fact, the two houses next to the west wall of the small courtyard are of better quality, but Hong Tao said that he could not choose this row of houses, because all the houses would be demolished in a few days.

why?Hong Tao said it was called a fire belt.If there is a fire in a nearby house, it will burn a large area.With the ruins of the house about ten meters wide, the spread of the fire can be effectively prevented.

Not only the houses on the west wall of No. 52 courtyard have all their furniture lifted out, but the roofs have been picked up, leaving only the masonry structure.Several rooms in the backyard No. 56 against the north wall of Hong Tao's house had to be done the same way, including the jujube tree in the yard.

"Will there be zombies running in here?" After choosing a house, everyone was busy, only Liu Quan was more idle.Zhou Jinlan did all the housework. He stayed in the house but got in the way, so he just came out and chatted with Hong Tao.

"It's not very likely. There are bolts inside the courtyard door, and the two ends are inserted into the door opening. The zombies will not be able to open it for an hour and a half. There are no doors in other places, and the zombies will not climb the wall. Build a ladder here, if there is an accident If you need to transfer, climb up from the ladder, and I will put a ladder on the other side of the wall." Hong Tao is checking the circuit in the yard, leaving the useful ones, and cutting off all the useless ones. If it is not too complicated, it can be powered on before night. .

"I'm just asking casually, don't take it to heart..." Liu Quanyou spoke again after taking a few puffs of cigarettes.

"Well, I'm listening..." Hong Tao was still standing on the ladder, tracing a wire to find the source.

"Do you have a longer-term plan, a little more specific?"

"I was thinking that you would definitely come and talk to me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon... Well, let's chat while we do it. Come on, hold hands, hold this wire... Oops, don't worry, there's no electricity! "

Hearing this question, Hong Tao laughed. Sure enough, he guessed right. This director is really not a rice bucket, and he is already thinking about the future.The reason for asking one is to see if there is too much conflict between himself and his ideas, and at the same time, he is also testing his ability, whether it is worth following him for a long time.

"...If that's the case, I'll run this place as a base...I have a rough idea, I don't know if it's right, I just mention it casually..."

After listening to Hong Tao's ideas for future development, Liu Quanyou entered into a long period of thinking, and only spoke after finishing the external circuit of a family, still half-hearted.

"Director Liu, let me tell the truth, until there is no better choice, we are grasshoppers tied to a rope. If we can't run away, I can't jump on you, and we will lose both. As long as it is for the sake of I can accept the good things of the collective, no matter how bad it sounds. This is not a time to save face, and one unexpectedly can kill you, what do you think?"

Hong Tao also understands why Director Liu speaks so hard.People who work in the system are already cautious, and now there are no laws, so they have to add a new word.They are very afraid of offending people by saying the wrong thing. If it is not a particularly important matter, they probably won't make any suggestions easily.

"That's right, I'm thinking too much... Let's just say it, I pondered for a while, and I feel that this place is not suitable as a permanent base, there are too many places to defend. It's easy to handle during the day, if at night We probably don’t even know who is here, and even if we send additional staff on duty, it won’t have much effect.”

In fact, what kind of temper is Hong Tao, and Liu Quanyou has been secretly observing his words and feelings.Since Hong Tao said it so blatantly, he stopped trying, and expressed his worries in one breath.

"Oh, chief director, who said that our cadres are not good enough? This opinion is very constructive! Indeed, this place is not suitable for a permanent base, but I can't do anything about it. I can't find a suitable place for a while. High-rise buildings are indeed more convenient to defend, but once they are surrounded, they will become Jedi, and there is nowhere to run. I also think that Qiongdao in the North Sea used to be an isolated island as long as the bridge is blocked, and you can enter and exit through the water. But it is too troublesome to collect materials there, and there is no suitable accommodation on the island. It is easy to manage in summer, but it is very troublesome to heat up in winter. In addition, I also want to live under the subway station. It is very strong in winter and cool in summer. But any one There are at least two passages in the subway station, plus the two entrances of the track, it seems that it is very difficult to defend. I think that I will spend the winter here first, and go around to see if there are any survivors, etc. More manpower should be transferred to an office building with underground space and close to the residential area, preferably two or three buildings with a common underground garage. Unfortunately, there are not enough manpower now, and large-scale machinery and equipment are required to renovate the underground space. , but also have certain professional knowledge, which cannot be completed in a short period of time.”

After listening to Director Liu's question, Hong Tao simply stopped his work and got down from the ladder, handed a cigarette, squatted under the eaves and started talking nonstop about his vision for the base.

This matter was not originally planned to be discussed with Director Liu. He is an administrative cadre who does not have any knowledge in this area, and the discussion could not lead to any results.I didn't expect to see people through the crack of the door a little bit. When they first came, they pointed out the Achilles' heel of the small courtyard, which was very level.

It may be enough to deal with zombies with little intelligence here, but if you want to compete with other survivor groups for dominance in the future, you will be passive. There are congenital defects, and the more you build, the bigger the defects.

"It's really a big question...Old Hong, can I ask one more question, what kind of work did you do in the past?" Liu Quan had originally intended to show his hand and get Hong Tao's attention to raise his own weight, but he didn't expect so much.

In his eyes, Hong Tao is a social person with good health and a lot of courage. This kind of person is easy to deal with, and troublesome, so he must first explore the bottom, and then decide how to deal with it in the future.

After listening to Hong Tao's long and exhausting writings, he immediately put away his contempt.It is worthwhile to think that the people who have thought of it have already thought of it, and they have thought about it more comprehensively and in more detail.

This is to meet someone who understands, and we can no longer mix a day according to the original plan. We must pay for some dry goods, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.But I and my daughter-in-law have to have physical strength and lack of courage, and the only dry goods that can be brought out are knowledge.

"Hehe, that's a lot to say. When I was young, I was a well-known little bastard, and the threshold of the police station was almost flattened. After graduating from college, I resigned from my iron job and applied for a job in the Ministry of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Scientific research units have also opened Internet cafes and restaurants, and have done a lot of work, but they can't do anything for long."

Hong Tao has talked about this history for 20 years, and sometimes even he himself can't tell which life he did it in. It is naturally very confusing to say it, no matter how it sounds, it seems true.

"Oh, this is both civil and military!" Liu Quanyou didn't know what to say. I really didn't expect this person's experience to be so... rich, and now it can't be said to be contemptuous and must go all out. , I don't know if I can handle it comprehensively.

"...To be honest, it's the first time I've heard someone praise me so much when I grow up so big! Director Liu, I know what you mean, and I know that you are capable. In fact, I would like to ask you to contribute more to this group. But the conditions are not allowed for the time being, it is a bit shameful to have just seven or eight people with three or four guns, and then make several leaders. But don't worry, if our team can expand to... let alone hundreds of people, there can be two or thirty People, you are the best candidate to be in charge, how are you?"

Since Liu Quanyou pointed out the biggest flaw at present, Hong Tao has basically made up his mind. This person is a useful talent and must be stabilized.What are you holding on to?Just giving a chance to survive is obviously not enough. If you want people to follow you, you have to pursue a little higher, such as a little power or something.

"... Comrade Lao Hong, I really don't want to take advantage of this opportunity, don't get me wrong!"

This promise not only did not make Liu Quanyou ecstatic, on the contrary, his face was pale, and cold sweat broke down on his forehead.What does it mean to have no merit and no salary, no contribution at all, and suddenly give a second-in-command promise, this thing is not called happiness, it is called a reminder.
