Chapter 153 Zombies Attack the City (Part 7)
After several hours of driving, we finally arrived at the base.
Seeing the big city that he had not seen for several days, Luo Ren breathed a long sigh of relief. Only here could he feel safe enough.
Many guardsmen were very happy to see the base city, and they were finally able to eat the delicious and fatty fish from the aquatic product base.

The people in the truck were squatting or standing and had not yet seen the big city ahead. They all had confused and worried faces, which were human expressions of the unknown.
"Hey, Lao He, when do you think we can get to that new place? How are the people who set off first?" A young man in his twenties said to a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.
"I don't know where to go." The middle-aged man Lao He glanced at the young man and said speechlessly.
"Ahem - do you think those people have already..." The young man made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Impossible." The middle-aged man Lao He denied decisively. Then he looked at the young man as if he were a fool, and said in a very helpless tone: "Those people have to go through so much trouble and use so many trucks to kill us. Isn't this a waste of gasoline?
Isn't it more direct and convenient to gather us together in Zhenghong City and then shoot us with machine guns? Moreover, they still saved us from the zombies. After saving us, they want to kill me again. This is not taking off their pants and farting. Is it unnecessary? "
The young man scratched his head and said with a dry smile: "It seems so. Then why do you think those people took us to that so-called new place?"
"What?" The middle-aged man Lao He thought for a while and said: "I guess it is definitely work, and then..." The middle-aged man Lao He racked his brains for a long time and said: "Then just work. , What else can we do? The women can work on both ends, and the men can work on one end.”
"Hiss—" the young man took a breath and said luckily, "Fortunately, I'm not a woman, otherwise I would have to do twice as much work in a day."
The middle-aged man Lao He stared at the young man speechlessly. When he said working at both ends, he meant doing twice as much work. He didn't know whether this guy was really stupid or not.
"Oh shit!"
The young man suddenly uttered a national curse that startled the middle-aged man Lao He. He patted his chest, then pushed the young man and cursed: "What are you doing? You are so startled that you are sick!"
"No, look, Lao He." The young man looked shocked and pointed with his right hand outside the car.
Because he was afraid that these people would be suffocated to death, Luo Ren specifically asked the escort soldiers to temporarily remove the doors of the carriage. At this time, the carriage had slowly entered the city, and many people could already see the tall and sturdy carriage through the back door of the carriage. city wall.
The middle-aged man Lao He looked in the direction of the young man's finger and was immediately shocked. The tall city wall was made entirely of concrete. The soldiers on the wall were all tall and well-equipped.
Looking along the way, there are all ordinary residents with smiling faces. Although their clothes are not gorgeous, they are very clean and tidy. It is not like they work every day and look dirty even if they have enough clothes, because, really No time to clean.
When other people in the carriage saw these scenes, they stood up one after another, blocking the sight of the middle-aged Lao He and the young man.
"It's so crowded, I've never seen it like this in the market." Old He, a middle-aged man, scolded.
"Hey, aunt, you can squeeze me, but don't point your butt at me. I'm afraid you'll squish me to death!"
As soon as the young man finished speaking, he heard a "pop" sound, and a gust of wind blew up the young man's oily bangs, and then a stench spread in the carriage. In such a small space, dozens of people, the air It was not good to begin with, but this time it exploded.
"I'm jumping, what's going on? Why does it stink so much!"
"Who! Who is it!"
"Biological and chemical weapons, this is simply a biological and chemical weapon! I will take you to a military court!"
"..."
Amidst the shouting and shouting, the aunt in front of the young man’s face turned red and her heart skipped a beat. She shouted, “Who is this? You have no sense of morality at all!”
The young man was speechless. He really wanted to say something. He had never seen such a shameless person.
…
Luo Ren was in front, standing on the tank. Seeing the residents' enthusiasm for the guards as always, and seeing the awed eyes of the Sky Marching soldiers on the city walls and maintaining order, he couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart.
Turning his head, his eyes narrowed, and he saw a familiar figure in the crowd. He immediately jumped and landed in the crowd. All the residents consciously gave up an open space, leaving only Luo Ren and the person in his eyes.
"An Tong." Luo Ren stepped forward and caressed Su Antong's cheek, his voice extremely gentle.
"Brother Ren..." Su Antong suddenly threw herself into Luo Ren's arms and said with a cry, "I miss you!"
"Ouch——"
The residents, soldiers of the Sky Marching Army, and soldiers of the escort army all cheered, seeming to celebrate the victory of the escort army, welcoming the new survivors, and blessing Luo Ren and Su Andong.
…
After getting tired of it, Su Antong pushed Luo Ren away and smiled through her tears, saying, "Everyone is waiting for you."
Luo Ren laughed and said to Su Antong: "I'll go and take care of everything first. You go back to the mobile base and wait for me."
When Su Antong heard the words "mobile base", she immediately understood what Luo Ren meant. Her face turned red, she pushed Luo Ren and said coquettishly: "Okay, let's go quickly!"
Luo Ren turned back to the convoy, and the team continued to move forward. Soon they arrived at the residential area planned for the outer city. Tanks and armored vehicles continued to drive to the military parking lot, and more than 200 medium-sized trucks stopped again.
Although the outer city residential area at this time could not be said to be overcrowded, it was also a bit crowded. After more than 10,000 people got off the trucks, it became even more crowded.
If it was before the end of the world, there was less land and the height could be gathered. But now it is not possible. There are those who run on the ground, those who swim in the water, and those who fly in the sky. Although they only encountered them once when they went out to fight, they had to be guarded against.
Moreover, there are no weapons such as anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft rockets. Only heavy machine guns and anti-equipment sniper rifles can be used for basic defense, which leads to the base's relatively weak air defense.
If the residential buildings are built with more than ten or dozens of floors, it means that they are not dying fast enough. Therefore, it is necessary to limit the height of residential buildings.
Luo Ren jumped onto the roof of the truck. It was indeed a bit crowded. He was considering whether to expand the space or how much space to expand. He had not yet upgraded the city wall to level 3. He had encountered several zombie attacks in the past, but they were all small-scale. Before the zombies approached the city wall, they were all wiped out. Therefore, he had never considered level 3 city walls.
"Since there are enough points, why not upgrade the city wall?" Luo Ren thought so in his heart. After a while, he said to himself: "Expand first and then upgrade. This is better." Then Luo Ren felt very stupid and thought, "Isn't it the same if I directly choose level 3 city walls when I build? Expand first, and then upgrade after that. Isn't this just taking off pants to fart?"
Take a deep breath, ease the mood that almost cried because of his stupidity, Luo Ren secretly said in his heart: "System, call up the base panel."
[Ding! The base control panel has been opened for the host. 】
The voice of the system fell, and a blue transparent light screen immediately unfolded in front of Luo Ren. The main page was the basic information of the base.
Base level: Level 3
Base population: 298,132 people
Base military strength: 2,409/3,000 people
Existing buildings: Arsenal (Level 3), Chariot Factory (Level 3), Mobile Base (Level 3)
"Is it almost 300,000?" Luo Ren was slightly startled when he saw the population, and thought to himself: "It will take another 200,000 to upgrade to Level 4. Before the end of the world, the population of H City was about 7 million, which is considered a big city. Even if 6/7 of the population turned into zombies, the remaining 1/7 is still more than 1 million.
The base has 300,000 people, and the No. 1 Sanctuary City and No. 2 Sanctuary City add up to almost 300,000. If they can be taken down, it will be 500,000 directly, but it's a pity that it's a bit difficult.
However, there are still many small settlements. If they are all included in the base, the population should be able to exceed 500,000."
Luo Ren shook his head, "For now, we should expand the base space first, and consider the population later." Luo Ren muttered in his heart: "Open the city wall construction function panel."
[Ding! The host jumps to the city wall construction. 】
The picture on the blue transparent light screen turned into a map covering 50 kilometers with the base as the center. In the upper right corner of the map, there is an arrow. Luo Ren clicked it lightly and immediately expanded three options, namely, level 1 city wall, level 2 city wall, and level 3 city wall (unlockable).
Then click on the level 3 city wall. After a burst of starlight flashed, the unlocking of the level 3 city wall disappeared, and it was ready to be built.
After selecting the level 3 city wall, Luo Ren looked at the map and thought for a long time, and finally decided to expand the city wall to 15 kilometers in length and width. Such space is enough for 300,000 people to live and work, and even if another 300,000 people come, it can withstand it.
In the past, the base expansion was gradual, and there were few one-time expansions. That was because the number of guards was small at that time, and the space was too large to provide comprehensive protection. Today, the 7,000 people marching have a certain military quality and can do patrols, guard the city, etc., so this time Luo Ren chose to expand to an area as large as 15*15 kilometers.
In this way, in the future, when facing the increase in population, there will be no need to expand temporarily every time, which is so troublesome, and it will also be easier to plan the city.
After the level 3 city wall was drawn on the map, Luo Ren silently said in his heart: "Build."
At this moment, the Tianxing Army soldiers guarding the city wall suddenly saw a burst of white light, which was very bright. They couldn't help but cover their eyes to avoid being damaged by the dazzling white light.
They had seen this kind of white light before and knew what it was. They thought, "The city lord has built the city wall again."
The white light flashed for a while and disappeared after a few seconds. Many Tianxing Army soldiers noticed that the white light disappeared, and they moved their palms away and opened their eyes. As far as they could see, they saw a continuous city wall several kilometers away. Due to the distance, the city wall looked very short and did not feel shocking.
Someone took out a telescope to check. The magnification of the telescope was limited, and the city wall in the lens was also short, but the style was a little different from the city wall under their feet. It seemed to look more solid, and that was all.
After the city wall was built, Luo Ren immediately called Luo Shan, Luo Hai and others and ordered them: "Take the Tianxing Army to clean up the new city area."
"New city area, sir, have you built a new city area?" Luo Shan asked curiously.
"Yes, there are too many people now, so we must expand the space. Let's clean it up quickly." Luo Ren said.
"Yes!" Luo Shan, Luo Hai and others responded.
As they were setting off, Luo Ren suddenly asked: "By the way, how long will it take for you to clean it up?"
Based on past experience, Luo Shan said: "Two hours is about the same."
"Two hours?" Luo Ren smiled half-heartedly and said, "The new city this time is a bit big? Are you sure you can finish it in two hours?"
"A bit big?" Luo Shan was confused, but thinking about how big it could be, and as a soldier, he couldn't take back the words he said, so he immediately responded: "Sir, don't worry, two hours is enough."
"Okay, I'll give you two and a half hours." Luo Ren wiped his face and suppressed a smile and said, "After cleaning up in two and a half hours, come to the mobile base to find me. If you can't finish it, there will be punishment."
Seeing Luo Ren's appearance, Luo Shan was a little confused. He looked at Luo Hai next to him, but Luo Hai looked away, and moved slightly to the side, as if to say, "Two and a half hours, what do you think?" Yes, I didn’t say that.”
"Yes!" Luo Shan replied stubbornly.
…
Luo Shan and Luo Hai organized the escort and Tianxing Army to enter the new city. Looking around, Luo Shan wondered: "There is no city wall here, so where does the new city come from?"
"Here, see for yourself."
At this time, Luo Hai handed over a telescope. Luo Shan took the telescope and looked at Luo Hai with some doubts. He saw Luo Hai pouting forward.
Luo Shan looked forward with his binoculars with doubts. This view immediately shocked him. His mouth was open enough to fit an egg.
Putting down the telescope and looking at Luo Hai, he was so shocked that he stuttered, "This, this, this... this is the city wall!"
Luo Hai looked like he was gloating about his misfortune, patted Luo Shan's shoulder heavily and said, "Brother, come on."
Behind him, Roggieroli and others also covered their mouths and snickered.
Luo Shan looked around blankly. This new city was much bigger than he had imagined. Let alone two and a half hours, it would take an ordinary person several hours to run around, let alone carefully clean out the existing areas. Danger. Even if there were thousands of people behind him to help, it would probably take seven or eight hours!
Seeing Luo Hai, Luo Jiluoli and others gloating about their misfortune, Luo Shan was furious and thought, "These guys, even if I am punished, I can't make it easy for you!"
"What are you waiting for? Get to work quickly!" Luo Shan shouted.
Luo Hai and others shrugged, and immediately led the escort and the Tianxing Army to clear the potential dangers in the new city.
Three hours later, Luo Hai and Luo Jiluoli found Luo Shan. Luo Hai said with a flattering face: "Brother Shan, you see, I have been working for more than three hours in a row. Can you take a break?"
Luoshan looked away.
Luo Hai said righteously: "It's not me who wants to rest, it's mainly the brothers who are ordinary people. They don't have as much physical strength as us. After working for so long, they are tired and hungry. Let them rest for a while and eat something." Replenish your energy.”
Luo Ji echoed: "Yes, Luoshan, we can bear it, but the brothers can't."
Luo Shan snorted, turned back to look at these unloyal guys, and then saw the ordinary soldiers who were really tired, sighed and said: "Then let the brothers rest for thirty minutes. "
Luo Hai and the others were overjoyed, but Luo Shan said next, "Brothers, rest, you continue to work!"
After saying that, Luo Shan continued to immerse himself in his work without looking back.
Luo Hai, Luo Ji, and Luo Li looked at each other, speechless and choked.
