Volume 2 The more labor you bring, the greater your responsibility Chapter 65 We must... fight for our homeland!
Since Zhu Dan didn't know about the game "Minecraft", Shen Jin didn't think too much about it. The most important thing now was to get through this wave of zombies. He would have plenty of time to think about the world, life, and...
"Ahem... Zhu Dan, I have two guns here, help me get them!"
Shen Jin put the MK18 assault rifle and Desert Eagle on the ground. These two guns were his secret weapons, and they had been replenished with a large number of bullets and grenades, so he could continue fighting.
"Put it here." Zhu Dan now has so many lice that he is not afraid of being bitten, but his liver is doomed.
Shen Jin looked at the two working [compressors] in the room and felt that it was not enough, so he made 20 more in one go. At the same time, he added 5 [thermal generators] and 5 [CESU storage devices]. After connecting them together with [insulated copper wires], he put a lot of [coal blocks] into the generators and 20 groups of [pebbles] into the 20 new [compressors]. "Boom~!~!"
20 [compressors] started working, and the noise almost blew the roof off!
"Oh my goodness! My fucking empowerment was interrupted, this is really outrageous! I can't afford to offend you, I'm going to go out and deal with it!"
The colorful light in Zhu Dan's hand flickered and he went outside cursing.
In fact, Shen Jin's two [compressors] have been compressing [pebble] for the past half month and have stored a lot of [compressed cobblestones]. But now they have to guard against the attack of 70,000 zombies, and the storage capacity is far from enough. They also need a large number of solid [compressed cobblestones] to protect key locations.
Next, Shen Jin took out all the [gunpowder] in the box and combined it with [gravel] to make a large amount of [TNT].
Then make a [cobblestone pressure plate], which is a simple device used to make a step-on trigger. When put together with [TNT], it can be used as a high-explosive mine!
“Crackle~!”
“Pah pah pah~!”
After Shen Jin performed some operations, he walked out covered with [TNT] and [Compressed Cobblestone].
at this time……
People from the Outer Areas 1, 2, and 3 of the Hongshui Bay Base have already gathered together, thanks to the fact that Shen Jin had long ago dismantled the loudspeaker from a nearby village and installed it at the base. As long as they shout in the control room, everyone in the base can hear it. It is not normally used, and is only used for emergency notifications.
The [piston] latches in Outer Areas 1, 2, 3 and the Hongshui Bay Base have all been opened by Shang Qian, and everyone can enter and exit freely.
When everyone heard the loudspeaker, they all rushed over. More than 1,000 people filled the training ground, including men and women, and the number was almost half and half. Although Shen Jin took in nearly 100 women at the beginning, resulting in an imbalance between men and women, the proportion of men among the survivors found later in the village and some communities was still much higher.
In the apocalypse, men are ultimately more capable of survival. Through the continuous rescue efforts of the Corpse Killing Team these days, the number of men and women has accumulated to be almost the same.
Shang Qian and Zhao Chao stood on the left and right, with 10 members of the female head team and 10 members of the corpse killing team behind them. The unique oppressive force of 22 extraordinary people came in their faces. Even if 1,000 people gathered together, they could not withstand such momentum, because... these 22 people possessed extraordinary powers generated in the end times!
"We gathered everyone here this time because of a big event!"
Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng were rehearsing a love action drama in the cabin, so they hurried over and hid behind to listen.
Shang Qian could see the two sneaky figures out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't say anything. After all, she didn't dare to do anything to the people Shen Jin invited in. She could only make herself the woman that Shen Jin could not let go.
"According to reliable intelligence from the D City government, a large-scale zombie tide is moving towards Hongshui Bay in the urban area of Lvkou District. If nothing unexpected happens, it will reach us in three days!"
“Wow!”
"ah!?"
"Fuck!"
As soon as Shang Qian finished speaking, there was an uproar below. Everyone was shocked. "Zombie tide? Is it like the ones in the movies? Zombies covering the whole sky and earth?"
"Oh my god! I just decorated my house to look like it did before the apocalypse, and now... the zombie tide is coming. Will it mess up my house?"
"Hey! Woman! It's already this late, and you're still concerned about your shabby house? People are going to die! I'm so fucking drunk. I've been hiding from zombies in the village for 4 months. I finally found such a harmonious and friendly organization, but after only living here for two days, a wave of zombies came! Shit!"
"Don't panic, there are still three days left. We can just hide in the mountains again. I don't believe they can find us in the mountains. I know there is a good cave. It's where my grandfather often rests when he goes hunting. Is there any... sister who wants to go with us?"
Because there were still three days left, everyone was anxious but not panicked. Many people felt sorry for losing such a good base environment. There was electricity, light, mobile phones, and many surviving humans. The most important thing was... there was civilization here!
No matter who they were before, after coming here they were bound by the power of civilization, the weak were protected, the strong were restrained, the seeds of goodness sprouted, and evil thoughts were eliminated.
Shang Qian gave everyone some time to discuss before continuing, "Well! So! We have to lead everyone to retreat. Your boss, Shen Jin, has used his special powers to prepare a retreat for everyone. Everyone pack up your things and follow me to the tunnel over here. You will go to a safe place!"
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Since it was Boss Shen Jin's backup plan, it must be correct.
Almost everyone has seen Shen Jin's extraordinary abilities of turning beans into stones and traveling underground. They know that this great lord, who usually likes to provide psychological counseling to women, is actually the logistical support for the entire base. He can build a 30-meter-high wall when advancing and leave behind a network of tunnels when retreating.
"That's great! Let's go pack up right away and leave before the zombies get here!"
"That's right, thank you so much. Boss Shen Jin is such a good man. I will work like a slave to repay him in my next life!"
"Um... we've run out of food. Can we get some more? After all, the next few days won't be easy!"
"Uh...are there any young ladies who would like to go with me to the cave to take shelter? It's quite safe!"
Most people were ready to follow Shen Jinliu's retreat. One young man stood still, his eyes filled with reluctance. "Sister Qian, are we really going to leave here? Will we have a chance to come back in the future?"
Suddenly... the surroundings became quiet.
Yes, who wants to escape again?
Is there any better place than here?
Slowly, everyone stopped and looked at the young man and Shang Qian.
The boy continued, "Can we resist? I can hold a sword. The brother from the zombie-killing team has tried it on me. I can kill zombies! There are so many of us. If we kill zombies together, we will win, right? I don't want those dirty zombies to destroy the home we built with great difficulty! What about you? Do you want to run away like this? Do you have to hide for the rest of your life?"
The boy became more and more excited as he spoke, his face turned red, but he still insisted on shouting loudly to the people around him.
"What's your name?" Shang Qian looked at the boy, who had fuzz hanging around his lips and was obviously a minor.
"My name is Tong Zhen!"
Shang Qian walked over, touched his messy hair and said, "Tong Zhen, you said it very well. Resistance... We can only defeat these zombies by resistance, but you are still too weak. You need to survive first, and then slowly join the battle with the zombies. I believe you will become a qualified warrior in the future, just like your brother in the zombie killing team, don't you agree?"
"Well! I have joined the Self-Defense Force reserve. I will train hard and go to the battlefield to kill zombies! But... are we really going to abandon the base?" Tong Zhen had a stubborn look on his face, his eyes full of determination.
"Okay! Practice well! As for the Red Water Bay Base, we will not give up! This is not only your home, but also the hard work of Shen Jin and me. We have already escaped once on the other side of the ocean, and we will not escape again this time. All of us extraordinary people will fight the zombies to the end! We will do our best to protect the Red Water Bay Base. We will not retreat until the wall falls!"
Shang Qian had a determined look on her face. She was determined to fight Shen Jin to the end. Moreover, she had the ability to protect everyone and could lead them to retreat when the time came.
"Then... I want to fight with you too! I'll just be the logistics person!" Tong Zhen raised his little face and said seriously.
At this moment, the men were silent, and some emotional women's eyes were moist...
Meng San, who is usually known as a lazy guy, finished the last cigarette butt in his hand and threw it to the ground. "Hiss~! Huh... Count me in. I can use a knife and a long sword, so killing a few ordinary zombies is no problem!"
The sleazy college student who often posted H-pics in the group took a step forward and said, "Give me a bow. I used to be the president of the Archery Club of the Institute of Technology. I should be able to help by standing on the wall!"
Old Wu, a middle-aged man who pushed the mine cart behind the zombie-killing team every day, walked silently to the side of the college student and said, "I have been doing farm work since I was a child. I have a lot of strength. Give me a set of armor and I will push the cart to hit the zombies!"
Seeing the three people standing up, the others also came over...
"Give me the spear and I'll stand guard at the door and poke the zombies!"
"Fuck you, run! Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
"Count me in, too!"
…
More and more people stood up. They wanted to help, wanted to stand together with Shen Jin and the others, and wanted to protect this hard-earned... home!
Hongshui Bay Base is their home!
Those matchboxes and furnaces carried their love for the areas called Outer Area 1, Outer Area 2, and Outer Area 3.
Zhao Chao and Shang Qian were moved as they watched the crowds gather. They were just ordinary people! When they were rescued, some of them hid at home for four months and dared not come out...
But now, he has to stand up to protect the base, no longer caring about life or death...
"Perhaps, this is the cohesive force of civilization?" Zhao Chao said with emotion. He remembered what Shen Jin usually said to him: "Everyone who joins the Red Water Bay Base is equal. This is a rule that can never be changed!"
Under Shen Jin's control, all the extraordinary people in the base were like the soldiers guarding the border before the end of the world, with their guns always pointed outside and their backs facing their own people.
That is why they are respected and have the same cohesion as before the end of the world!
If the Hongshui Bay Base is an idealist's dream, no one in this dream wants it to wake up!
Shang Qian looked at the increasing number of ordinary people who gathered together to ask for a fight, including many women. She pressed her hand and said, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me... I can feel everyone's enthusiasm for protecting the Hongshui Bay base, but... this battle belongs to us extraordinary people. To be honest, we may not be able to hold on... There are 70,000 zombies in the zombie tide! But... we are willing to give it a try and use all our 24 people's strength to fight these 70,000 zombies! But! Don't worry about us, we won't make unnecessary sacrifices, and humans... can't sacrifice anymore. Only if you survive can you hope to eliminate the more than one billion zombies on this land!"
Shang Qian looked at these people at this time and couldn't help but think of the thousands of years of civilization of China. It was because of these brave and righteous men who were not afraid of life and death and fought one after another that this territory was conquered.
Zhao Chao saw Shang Qian was so excited that she was choking up. She was a little speechless at this moment, so he continued, "So! Please pack your personal belongings with peace of mind. Take away everything you can, including food, clothes, bedding and personal items. We will make arrangements for three days to give this group of zombies a head-on blow! You being here will restrict our hands and feet. If we can't defeat them, Boss Shen Jin has arranged a safe retreat. We will meet up with you. Cheer up, and no one is allowed to raise any more objections. Okay, everyone! Gather here in half an hour, meeting adjourned!"
Zhao Chao announced in a strong manner that this notice was sufficient, without giving anyone a chance to comment.
He and Shang Qian left with two teams of extraordinary people.
The indignant crowd fell silent as they watched the extraordinary person, who jumped to a height of 4 or 5 meters, quickly leave.
The gap between ordinary people and extraordinary people is really... too big.
Tong Zhen wiped his nose and said, "Okay, since Coach Zhao said so, let's not make trouble. I will definitely join the Corpse Killing Team and contribute to our base!"
After saying that, he decisively turned around and left, going back to pack his luggage.
Meng San, the college student, Lao Wu and many other people whose enthusiasm was aroused looked at the backs of the extraordinary people who were leaving, full of admiration.
Are you willing to risk your life for... a stranger?
"Haha, even the little kid can see more clearly than us. What are you still standing there for? Go pack your things!"
"Let's go, everyone, hurry up and gather quickly later. If we don't delay the Corpse Killing Team and the Female Head Team at this time, we will be helping them!"
“Mao Wazi is right. Next time! Next time I will fight for my homeland like them! My...father was eaten by zombies because of me. I must...stay alive and avenge him!”
Everyone left, and Mu Yan and Shen Mengmeng stood there blankly, "Is this... still the end of the world?"
"Can women like us... stand up like them?"
The two were deeply shocked. This seemed different from the apocalypse they had experienced in the previous four months.
Mu Yan suddenly felt that not joining the female team might be... the stupidest decision he had ever made in his life.
