Chapter 564 Countdown (Thanks to Fengye Piaoling for the reward)
It's about time for the volcano to erupt. After Li Yu promised Xiao Jun and others to enter the base, he also thought of some personnel still stationed in Xincheng.

So I found He Chao and asked him about the current situation.

"How many of us are outside now?"

He Chao made some calculations, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Zhuzi, Deng Ben and the personnel stationed near the national highway, there are 6 people in total."

Li Yu pondered for a moment, then walked out of the room, and a wave of heat hit.

The cold air in the room went straight to the outside, Li Yu immediately closed the door, frowned and said, "Let them all come back tomorrow."

At the moment, although there is no news from the Western Union, it is not necessary at present.

After all, in such a hot weather, people can't stay outside for long, traveling long distances, even if they don't die, their skin will peel off.

He Chao was very happy to hear what Li Yu said. He wanted to make this application with Li Yu two days ago.

Now it's finally time to get them back.

However, in addition to the outer city personnel stationed outside, some non-staff personnel have also recently moved to the vicinity of the Dazhangshu base.

In the past, as long as it rained continuously for several days, the camphor tree base would provide them with shelter, and let them go out by themselves after the rainstorm ended.

It's been done this way before.

But this time, there was no precedent for the hot weather, so He Chao was also debating whether to mention it.

Seeing that He Chao was still in a daze, Li Yu asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

He Chao hesitated for a moment. According to the strictness of Li Yu's management of personnel in the past, he was a little entangled in not being able to target Li Yu's thoughts, and finally decided to say something.

"President Li, what about the other non-staff personnel?"

He Chao was a little nervous. He didn't know if asking this question would arouse Li Yu's disgust.

Li Yu recalled, this time the high temperature, volcanic eruption, followed by a long period of darkness, zombie tide, and subsequent acid rain.

In this wave, the number of survivors in the world, which is not much, has dropped sharply again.

He doesn't care about other places, but in Xincheng, most of the surrounding survivors have cooperated with the base.

And they have a high degree of recognition of the big camphor tree base.

Li Yu hesitated for a while, remembering that the second outer city had just been built. Although it was built, he hadn't moved in yet.

Although the environment is not as good as the First Outer City, which has not been built for a long time, at least the rooms on the first floor are still air-conditioned.

Non-staff personnel must be rescued.

It's just that other personnel who cooperate with the base, whether to save them or not is a question.

The Dazhangshu base cannot be a shelter that provides protection for free.

And the number of people is too large, and it is quite troublesome to manage.

However, the location of the big camphor tree base has long been known to those who have stayed in Xincheng for a long time.

These people who have worked with the Dazhangshu base, although the base is only a cooperative relationship with them, they exchanged various materials for food, and they did not owe them anything, which is very fair.

Li Yu has no obligation to save them.

However, from the perspective of the future of the base, the future needs development, and these people are necessary for existence. If they are all dead, who can they cooperate with for the Dazhangshu Base.

Furthermore, the Dazhangshu base provides protection to those who cooperate with the base in some major difficult moments, which is to strengthen their sense of identity with the base.

The influence of the big camphor tree base is enhanced through things like this.

There is no need to provide them with food, but a shelter, which Li Yu thinks can still be done.

So he said to He Chao: "Later, you will clear out the list of people who have cooperated with the base in the past two years, and see how many people there are."

In the end, Li Yu decided to let these people in, confiscate weapons and vehicles, and then centrally manage the residential buildings in the second outer city, and send people to manage them. There should be no problem.

He Chao looked at Li Yu in surprise, listening to Xianzhi, it seemed that Li always wanted to let all the personnel who cooperated with the base come in.

There have been such examples before. During the last heavy rain, hundreds of people came in.

"Go, count the number of people. Go out tomorrow and spread the news." Li Yu said.

He Chao couldn't understand Li Yu anymore. In the past, the Li Yu he saw was cold-blooded and decisive. Although he was very friendly to the people in the base, he never showed much mercy to the people outside the base.

Although the current high temperature is much higher than last year's high temperature, it is not impossible to survive.

He naturally didn't know that the high temperature was just an appetizer, and the volcanic eruption, continuous nights, acid rain, and zombie hordes were the highlight.

It is unknown how many people can live with this combination of punches.

And when that time really came, if people outside the base wanted to seek asylum, they would have no chance to come here.

Li Yu will not open the door again.

After the volcanic eruption, the world fell into darkness, and with so many zombies around, it was impossible for Li Yu to take the risk and open the door.

What if it is broken through by the tide of zombies.

Li Yu added: "Try to spread the news as widely as possible, there are only three days. After three days, the base will not admit anyone. In addition, the personnel must be carefully selected. We have cooperated with outsiders for so long. I really want to Those who want to cooperate with us have already cooperated with us.

Therefore, if the team that has not appeared on the cooperation list is not allowed to enter.

Bases are not nursing homes and have no obligation to protect them. "

He Chao agrees with what Li Yu said, the camphor tree base has never been a Church of Our Lady, and you have not contributed to me, so why should I save it.

Let them in, among other things, the power consumed is also a cost.

So He Chao said: "Understood, I will turn over the list right now, and who should I hand over to after the count?"

"Give it to my second uncle. When the time comes, you can show him the list and let him check it out."

He Chao nodded and went back to look for the list.

In less than 10 minutes, He Chao took the list and reconciled with the second uncle.

This list is recorded in duplicate.

It's not just that He Chao is there to count, but the second uncle also has a copy, and there will be no mistakes when comparing the two.

The second uncle who was in the inner city saw He Chao come looking for him with a notebook.

Putting down the wood in his hand, he also has some small hobbies. When he is free, he likes to carve some small wood carvings. The children quite like this thing he carved.

"What's the matter?" Second Uncle asked.

He Chao told his second uncle what Li Yu said to him.

The second uncle pondered for a while, but he didn't expect Li Yu to make such a decision.

It's not that people who cooperate with the base can't be included, but I don't think it's necessary at the moment.

After all, it's just extremely hot right now.

But he believed in Li Yu, Li Yu often made many decisions with some foresight, and sometimes he couldn't understand it, but he found out that Li Yu's decision was correct after the fact.

It doesn't matter if you put it in, it just provides a space and confiscates their weapons. Even if there are some problems, there will be no disturbance.

So he also took out the statistical table in his hand and compared it with the one in He Chao's hand one by one.

Once people have power, it is easy to breed corruption, and they can only be regulated through various methods.

But for He Chao at present, there is not much he wants.

Comparing the statistical table on the second uncle's side, there are no mistakes.

After comparing with the second uncle, He Chao returned to the first outer city. Li Yu also told the uncle about this matter, and asked him to take a few people out with He Chao tomorrow to deliver the news. Then come back.

Around Xincheng.

Near the industrial park.

In a garment factory, the hot weather caused an abandoned and worn-out garment to spontaneously ignite around the garment factory.

The tires of some vehicles on the side of the road were directly exposed to the sun.

After the tires blew out, the whole car was on fire.

In the garment factory, the ground is full of buckets filled with well water.

Almost every once in a while, they squeeze new water out of the well.

It's so hot there's no way to cool down just this way.

If they want to go outside now, they must take good protection, otherwise, within a few minutes, they will be covered in redness, swelling and pus.

Once inflamed, the consequences are very serious.

wow-

Xiao Hu carried the bucket and poured the slightly colder well water from top to bottom.

He was shirtless and only wore a pair of shorts.

At this time, the shorts were also wet.

Water droplets fell on the ground, making a sizzling sound.

Like a drop of water, it fell into the oil pan.

"Third, bring in a few more buckets of water later. These seven or eight buckets of water are already hot again." Xiao Hu said in a rough manner.

Because it is too hot, there is very little water vapor outside, and every breath is as uncomfortable as inhaling chili powder.

So they placed many buckets indoors, one can achieve the effect of cooling, and the other can increase the water vapor in the room, so that breathing will not be so difficult.

"Brother Xiao, I really can't take it anymore, I went out just now, my arm was not well protected, just for a while, now it's all peeling.

Why don't we go to Dazhangshu base to ask for help, if this continues, the brothers really can't hold it anymore. "

The third child tore off the piece of dead skin on his hands, panting heavily, Xiao Hu said.

Xiao Hu shook the water off his head, and said in silence for a while: "We don't have enough points now, otherwise we can apply for an upgrade to join the outer city, it's only a few points away, alas..."

The third child also sighed leisurely. Naturally, he also knew about the points system of the Camphor Tree base. Everything was fair and he didn't have much gossip.

Around Xincheng, there are many survivors, and some of them have the same thoughts as them.

But they are able to live until now and it is very clear that the Dazhangshu Base does not owe them anything.

As for threatening the Dazhangshu base in the name of morality or saving people, it is obviously a joke.

Has Dazhangshu Base ever been threatened and compromised?

No.

None.

It's brutal, but realistic.

Orange Isle.

With the high temperature in recent days, the water level of the river has dropped a lot.

The water level has reached an all-time low.

In the refugee camps in the southern district, there is always a stench in the air.

After being exposed to the sun, that kind of carrion smells worse than the swill of the sewer.

Mosquitoes scattered.

The air seemed to be on fire.

Refugee camp, southwest corner.

under a tent.

There were two men, weakly slumped inside the tent.

The lips are chapped and white, the head is full of sweat, and the eyes are white. It seems that there is more air out and less air in.

"You, why don't you beg again, Haichao, let us go in and stay for a day. We helped them manage the refugee camp before."

The man spoke to another person weakly.

The other man had a bald head, and the skin on the top of his head was tanned like a boiled lobster, red and swollen in a circle.

He touched his head, rubbed it gently, and a small piece of flesh and blood was rubbed off by him.

hiss--

The pain, like being pricked by a needle, made him clench his teeth.

After taking a few breaths.

He said sarcastically: "Don't think about it, they can't hold on by themselves. When I passed by just now, I saw more than 30 people crowded in a room less than 12 square meters. Just because of the air conditioning."

"Oh." He sneered, and the next second, he coughed violently.

cough cough-

Pooh--

He spat out a bloody lump.

Apparently it was part of his internal organs, spat out in a violent cough.

But he didn't panic, nor did he have any accidents, as if he had accepted his fate, exhaustion came flooding in like a tide.

Muttering in the mouth, a thin inaudible voice.

It seemed to be answering the partner on the opposite side, or perhaps talking to himself.

"This shitty Gan Shang, I knew this would be the result, I, my goddammit followed me out, and died of starvation or heat.

It's better to find a deeper basement than to be in this bullshit tent."

As he spoke, his hands fell limply to the ground.

No more sound.

The northern area of ​​Juzizhoutou.

Jiuzhi lost half of his life, and after finally returning, he immediately told Gan Shang the news. Gan Shang was very excited, and quickly ordered Haichao and the others to take them out.

But Haichao looked perplexed.

"Boss, it's too hot now, brothers don't want to go out."

The reason why he is willing to go out is very simple. In this kind of horrible weather, running such a long distance, not to mention the issue of suffering, the key risk is too great.

Such a long distance, after the past, there will be a question mark on whether or not to return.

In such a hot weather, if there is a conflict, it will add fuel to the fire.

Knowing that it is a mortal task, the people under him are naturally unwilling to do it.

Gan Shang was very angry, and said angrily, "Isn't it just that the temperature is a bit high? Last summer, wasn't it also very hot? It's hot, how hot can it be?"

Hai Chao felt helpless looking at the boss who hadn't been out for four or five days because of the heat.

Bite the bullet and said to Gan Shang: "Boss, it's really hotter outside than a week ago, you can feel it."

Gan Shang still remembered that the temperature was about a week ago. Although it was hot, it was not impossible to move outside at all.

Unbelieving, he didn't wear any protection, and cursed: "It's not like I haven't gone out before."

Then he opened the door and walked outside.

As soon as I came out, I felt a heat wave coming out.

Swah——

He was used to the air-conditioned temperature indoors, but when he came out all of a sudden, his body didn't adapt to the outdoor temperature, and sweat dripped down his forehead in an instant.

Beads of sweat soon appeared on the surface of the body.

This. Indeed, the temperature is much higher than a week ago.

Gan Shang was not quite reconciled, so he bit the bullet and walked under the sun.

Haichao, who was under the shadow of the eaves, saw Gan Shang like this, and kindly reminded him: "Boss, the sun is very poisonous, be careful."

"Ah!" As soon as Gan Shang walked under the sun, he felt a fire burning his skin.

In order not to lose face in front of his subordinates, he braced his body that wanted to leave, and continued to stand under the sun.

The top of his head was smoking.

Make a sizzling sound.

It looks like it's going to burn up soon.

Gan Shang didn't wear any protection. He was wearing a T-shirt and shorts. His exposed skin and the top of his head were not protected.

After standing under the sun for more than ten seconds, he jumped up and down and ran into the room in a panic.

After entering the room, he kept silent, his exposed skin was already red.

There was still a faint itching feeling, and he knew that this was a symptom of sunburn.

If he couldn't bear it and scratched the itch with his hands, the skin might be torn off and the flesh would be bloody.

"Boss, cool down." Hai Chao poured a glass of water from the side and handed it to Gan Shang.

Gan Shang looked at Haichao with some resentment, as if saying in his eyes: Why didn't you say it earlier.

Haichao was a little aggrieved, he obviously said it just now.

Even when he came here, he had to wear protective gear, otherwise he wouldn't dare to stand in the sun like that.

It's the hottest time of the day now, I didn't expect the boss to be so brave.

But that's okay, after the boss has felt it for a while, he knows how hot it is now, so he won't give him some unrealistic orders.

"There is cooling oil in the cabinet, bring it to me." Gan Shang said sullenly.

Hai Chao obediently went to take it down and gave it to Gan Shang.

The two had a tacit understanding, and they didn't mention the matter of going to Xiao Jun and the others again.

It's too dangerous out there now.
