Chapter 709 Someone From the Western Alliance Is Coming! [Subscribe Please]
In the forest, the yellow solar street lights shone, making the originally dark forest soft and no longer scary.
Li Yu continued:
"Now the zombie generators in the base are very useful. Later, I will also try to gather some talents in electrical machinery, especially those in electrification, and use the electricity generated by zombies. I believe the future is promising."
Under the illumination of the street lights, Li Yu's eyes were shining.
Uncle San nodded and said, "In fact, diesel cars don't necessarily have to use diesel. Peanut oil, used waste oil, etc. can all be used."
Li Yu smiled bitterly and said, "I know, but it's too extravagant. One acre of land can produce 1,000 kilograms of peanuts, and the oil yield is only 44%, which means that one acre of land can only produce 440 kilograms of peanut oil. 100 kilograms of peanut oil is equivalent to 117 liters.
440 kilograms of peanut oil is equivalent to 514 liters.
More than 500 liters of oil can only run 1,500 kilometers.
It takes 4 months to grow a season of peanuts. One acre of land, four months, the oil produced is only enough for a car to run 1,500 kilometers.
It's too bad no matter how you calculate it."
Li Yu had already calculated this account.
So it's too extravagant to replace diesel with peanuts grown at the base.
There are only two ways now, find more diesel, or find oil refining.
Or use zombie generators, and then find some experts in electrification to transform some electric trucks.
The two walked and chatted on the mountain road.
Ten minutes later, they reached the top of the mountain and overlooked the entire base.
The solar street lights on the base road were like stars hanging in the sky, forming a beautiful picture.
The big camphor tree in the center of the inner city was extremely conspicuous.
Standing on the top of the mountain, you can also overlook the outer city.
If you go up to the watchtower on the top of the mountain, you can see farther.
They blew the wind on the top of the mountain for a while and then went down the mountain.
The final time for the next departure was also agreed upon. Tomorrow will be a day of rest, and the day after tomorrow, the third uncle will lead the team again.
But this time, more people and more cars will be taken.
Western Alliance.
Since Gan Hu came back, he had a big meal, and then told Gan Xiong and Gan Long about what he encountered along the way, and the news of the destruction of his third brother Gan Shang and Chengzizhoutou.
Gan Xiong's face was extremely ugly. He had thought that the third brother would be affected by the natural disaster, but he didn't expect that someone would dare to kill them.
The veins on his forehead jumped violently.
"You said that when you were at Chengzizhoutou, the man you caught saw the gang that killed Shang'er, and the license plate numbers of the vehicles they drove were mainly from Gan City?" Gan Xiong asked Gan Hu again.
Gan Hu nodded heavily and replied, "Yes, I heard it clearly. Yao Zuo was also next to him, and he heard it too."
Yao Zuo, who was not sitting on the sofa, but with his hands behind his back, nodded and said, "Yes, I heard it too. It seems that the gang should be in Gan City."
"Yeah." Gan Xiong responded with a sound from his nostrils.
But he did not express his opinion immediately, nor did he say that he would take people to Gan City to look for them.
He just suddenly got up from the sofa and looked out the window.
Gan Long in the room had a gloomy face as if water was about to drip out.
He never thought that his third brother would be gone just like that.
Wayne, Lao Zhuang and others in the room did not dare to breathe, and looked at Gan Xiong by the window nervously.
They were also somewhat shocked, shocked at who had the guts to kill the people of the Western Alliance.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze, and Wayne and others standing nearby did not dare to breathe, fearing that they would accidentally attract the fire and become the target of the anger.
Bang!
Gan Hu threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and said angrily: "Dad, big brother, this revenge must be avenged! Even if they are far away, they must be killed!"
Gan Long clenched his fists, and after hearing what his second brother said, he could no longer hold back and said to his father by the window: "Second brother is right, the revenge of the third brother must be avenged!"
Hearing that the always steady Gan Long said this, Wayne and Lao Zhuang in the room looked at each other with inexplicable expressions in their eyes.
They were not from the Gan family, but their lives and property were also tied to the Gan family. They would prosper together and suffer together.
However, as the people who personally executed the management of the base, they knew the current situation of the Western Alliance very well.
At present, the base has lost a lot of manpower after Zhou and Liu defected and left, and lost a lot of manpower in the last volcanic high temperature and cold, and the west wall collapsed.
Before they could catch their breath, heavy rain fell again, causing great losses to them.
When Gan Hu came back, they had just repaired the cracks in the east wall caused by the heavy rain.
Now all the food in the base can only sustain their survival for three or four months.
If their population had not dropped sharply to only more than 2,000 people, they estimated that the food supply would be even tighter.
The key is that their bullets have been almost used up.
Outside the base, the food that can be searched around has been searched for several rounds, and there is not much food left.
So recently they tried to find a way to start planting crops again in the base. But the crops they planted could not meet the needs of more than 2,000 people.
Moreover, according to the weather conditions of the previous year, there might be some extreme heat or cold, which would definitely affect the harvest of crops.
Food has become a knife hanging over their heads, ready to fall at any time.
The Western Alliance at this time is no longer the same as it was a year ago.
In this case, if troops are sent to travel a long distance to seek revenge, the consumption of manpower and food will definitely be huge.
Objectively speaking, it is unwise to seek revenge at this critical moment.
Gan Long and Gan Hu both spoke, but Gan Xiong, who was standing by the window, had his back to everyone. Everyone could not see his face, nor did they know what he was thinking from his expression.
Gan Hu has never been patient, and seeing his father not saying a word at this time.
So he said anxiously: "Dad, give the order. What do you think?"
There was a hint of disappointment in his tone, but more anxiety, fearing that his father would not be willing to support his idea of revenge.
In the Gan family, Gan Xiong has always been the one who says what he means, and no one can influence what he decides.
In the entire Western Alliance, Gan Xiong is also a person who firmly holds power in his own hands.
If you want to send troops out, you must get Gan Xiong's permission.
After a long time.
Gan Xiong turned his head, his brows wrinkled into a "chuan" shape. He was originally full of white hair, and his face looked even more haggard at this time.
He glanced at Gan Hu and Gan Long, his eyes full of pain.
The old man sent the young man away, not to mention that Xiao Shang was his most beloved youngest son.
Regret, regret, regret that he should not have sent Gan Shang to Chengzizhoutou in order to sharpen him.
But the wood is done, it's too late.
He slowly walked to the desk, suddenly turned his head and asked Gan Hu and Yao Zuo: "Do they have guns? How many people are there?"
Yao Zuo saw Gan Xiong's eyes with questions and looked at him.
He quickly said: "The original words of that person were: He heard a burst of gunfire in the distance, and he was afraid at the time and didn't dare to show his head. When those people evacuated, he stuck his head out to take a look."
"Well" Gan Xiong fell silent.
Gan Hu and Gan Long looked at him expectantly, waiting for his order.
Gan Xiong sighed, and after a long time he said: "How about this, Xiaolong, you take 300 people, and take the most experienced people in the base, Wayne, Yao Zuo, and you go together.
The most important thing is that after arriving there, you are not allowed to act rashly before you understand the enemy's situation. If the enemy is too strong, don't hesitate and come back directly.
If the strength is not strong, you don't have to fight hard, you can only outsmart it, not reckless. On this point, Xiaolong, you have to listen to Yao Zuo's advice honestly.
Apart from anything else, if you find their base, if you can lead some zombies over to consume the enemy's strength, it is also a way."
Gan Xiong finally made this decision.
He actually knew that this decision was not rational.
The journey is long, and the diesel consumed by driving 300 people over there alone can use up one-fifth of their current inventory.
But that was his most beloved child after all. If he died in the mouth of zombies or died in a natural disaster, he would not be so angry.
But he died in the hands of people, how could he bear it.
After Gan Xiong finished speaking, Yao Zuo and Wayne hurriedly bowed and said, "Okay, we understand."
Gan Hu, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at Gan Xiong in disbelief and asked, "Dad, what about me?"
"Don't go, stay well in the base." Gan Xiong covered his forehead and shook his hands and said to him.
"This, I don't, this, why!" Gan Hu asked angrily and incoherently.
He couldn't understand why his eldest brother was allowed to go but he was not allowed to go.
He wanted to kill his enemy with his own hands to avenge his third brother.
Gan Xiong said impatiently: "You are not stable enough, it is easy to alert the enemy. If those people are strong, you will have to die there, so you must be careful. Our base can't stand any more big troubles.
Alas."
Gan Xiong sighed helplessly, his tone was bleak.
His words were like an invisible slap on Gan Hu's face.
It was unpleasant, but it was the truth.
After hearing this, Gan Hu's expression became uncertain.
He beat his chest and swore to Gan Xiong: "Dad, don't worry, I will never be impulsive. I can promise that you can let me go with you."
The last sentence was a little pleading in his tone.
"No!" Gan Xiong replied quickly without any hesitation in his tone.
It seems that he has made up his mind.
Seeing Gan Xiong like this, Yao Zuo and Wayne looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
To be honest, running so far and facing an enemy whose strength they didn't know, they were also panicking.
Especially Yao Zuo, he had seen Gan Hu's willfulness and impulsiveness the last time he went to Chengzizhou with Gan Hu.
Although he could listen to some opinions sometimes, when Gan Hu was angry, he was completely reckless.
This kind of teammate could easily drag him down.
Both of them could sense each other's sense of relief from each other's eyes.
Hearing his father's firm and unhesitating rejection, Gan Hu kicked the table in front of him away and ran out of the room.
Gan Long sighed slightly.
Then he looked at his father and said to Gan Xiong: "Dad, 300 people are too many. It will consume too much fuel, and we have too few bullets."
Gan Xiong finally sat down and gestured to Wayne to close the door.
Seeing this, Wayne immediately walked over to close the door.
Gan Xiong sat on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
After taking a puff, he slowly said:
"Xiaohu is not so clear about the situation at the base, but you guys must be very clear. Xiaolong, remember one thing.
In this battle, only victory is allowed, not failure.
Even if you go there, as long as you find that the enemy is very strong, either retreat or think of a way to see if you can use zombies to defeat them.
But there is a prerequisite, that is, you should not be exposed, don't let them find our traces, if you can't afford to provoke them, come back quickly and retain your strength.
So, remember one thing, after arriving in Gan City, any survivors found must be controlled as soon as possible, don't leave a tail.
If the enemy is not that strong, then you should eliminate them as soon as possible, plunder their supplies and food, and bring them back.
Our base is now in short supply of supplies.
"
The reason why Gan Xiong still let Gan Long go to Gan City, in addition to revenge, is actually another idea, that is, the supplies and food around Cheng City have been plundered many times.
Maybe you can look further away.
Sometimes, plundering is the fastest way to improve your strength.
Gan Long, Wayne, Lao Zhuang, Yao Zuo and others in the room listened to Gan Xiong's words quietly.
Nodding from time to time, raising some questions from time to time, and then Gan Xiong answered them personally.
They talked for two or three hours in this meeting.
The specific implementation plan, when to go, which road to go, and what to do first after arriving there were all discussed.
It can be seen that Gan Xiong took it very seriously this time.
At the end, Gan Xiong said again: "Xiaolong, Wayne, Yao Zuo, the three of you, make a detailed and comprehensive plan in the next two days, and then meet with me."
The three nodded to show that they understood.
Gan Xiong rubbed his eyes and looked extremely tired.
Seeing this, Gan Long hurriedly got up and said to his father: "Dad, you take a rest first. I will avenge the matter of my third brother! Yao Zuo, Wayne, you all go down too."
After hearing Gan Long's words, Yao Zuo and Wayne bowed to Gan Xiong and left the room.
Seeing that the matter had been explained, Gan Xiong waved his hand and asked them to go down first.
At this time, only Gan Xiong, Gan Long and Lao Zhuang were left in the room.
Gan Xiong felt exhausted physically and mentally, and a wave of fatigue surged from his body.
There was an unconcealable sadness in his heart.
Grandson Gao Jie, son Gan Shang, daughter Gan Min, son-in-law Gao Ru.
All died one by one.
Although this was in the end of the world, the death of his relatives was still a little unbearable for this 70-year-old man.
His body slumped on the sofa, and his voice was tired: "Lao Zhuang, I remember that Yi City also had a base force before. Go back and organize the information collected by that base into text for me."
Gan Hu and his team found a force in the winery in Yi City before. It seemed that there was some food stored there, but they didn't bring many people with them at that time.
And the strength of that winery was quite good, and they didn't bring many people with them at that time, so they didn't force an attack.
When they went back, before they had time to send more people to search, who would have thought that a heavy rain broke out immediately for more than a month.
Hearing Gan Xiong mention this, Lao Zhuang immediately said: "Boss, I have packed it and will send it to you as soon as possible, but the people in that place don't seem to be that simple."
"Yeah." Gan Xiong closed his eyes and didn't comment.
A few seconds later, he spoke again:
"Last time, I asked you to track Zhou and Liu and check that it was in Honghe, Yun Province, right?"
When Lao Zhuang heard the boss's question, he instantly remembered that bleak day. It was so cold, with ice and snow, and the temperature was dozens of degrees below zero. He almost couldn't come back alive.
"Yes, Zhou and Liu went to a mountain village, but it was a pity that the snow was too heavy at that time, and we couldn't find out the situation inside." Lao Zhuang said with some shame.
Gan Xiong waved his hand. He knew that when Lao Zhuang came back, he was already unconscious.
In that extremely cold weather, it was enough to track down where Zhou and Liu ran to.
Originally, after Lao Zhuang came back, Gan Xiong wanted to send people to rob there, but unfortunately the weather changed too quickly. After the temperature rose, it soon rained heavily.
After the heavy rain, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He frowned and said quietly: "Xiaolong, when you come back from Gan City, if you don't get anything, prepare to go to Yi City or Honghe, Yunnan Province. Our base can only last for a few months.
For our base, we have to look for supplies from other survivors' bases."
Gan Long also knew the difficulties in the base at present, and said heavily: "Okay, I understand."
Seeing his father's tired face, he took a blanket from the stool, draped it on his father and said: "Dad, let's talk later, you have a good rest first."
"Yeah." Gan Xiong said weakly.
The pain of losing his son made him feel physically and mentally exhausted, and the whole person seemed to have been drained of his soul.
Looking at his father who was slowly falling asleep, Gan Long gestured to Lao Zhuang, asking him to go out together and not disturb his father's rest.
Gan Province.
Tai County.
After a night of rest, Dongfeng and his companions continued to walk south with the injured Dajie.
Dajie, who had lost one hand, looked pale, but at least he was alive.
He walked with a staggering step, and Tietou and another person helped him walk.
Behind them, Xu Chengcai and his son followed.
Dongfeng seemed to be aware of it, but he could not find any trace at all.
But Xu Chengcai's tracking ability was not comparable to that of ordinary people.
He did not need to follow closely, even keeping a distance of several kilometers away. He could infer how long the people in front had walked and where they were from the surrounding environment and footprints.
Dongfeng was full of thoughts all the way.
He was still a little confused about the bottle of white wine.
He felt it was too unreasonable. This was in the end of the world, and after so much time, a bottle of white wine was placed under the steps.
Was it lucky, accidental, or someone was helping them?
I don't know, but they are heading to the camphor tree base, and that has not changed.
After several days of trekking, they are not far from Xincheng.
At the fastest, maybe they can reach that place the day after tomorrow.
