Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 202 The Base
Li Xun shuttled around Huanghuagang Station like a ghost.

It took him nearly three hours to go around and get a preliminary understanding of the surrounding environment. The situation here is better than expected.

More than 600 meters to the south of the station is another railway. Two kilometers to the southeast is a small pier on a big river, and three kilometers to the southeast is the mouth of the big river. There is an oil terminal there, and there is an oil refinery and a thermal power plant near the pier. .

Just south of the railway line is a town, and it seems that the scale should not be very large.

To the east of the station is a steel factory, which seems to be quite large in scale. The distance between the east and the west of the factory is three kilometers, and two kilometers to the east is the sea.

One kilometer to the north of the station is another railway line. Not far to the northeast along the railway line is the Huanghua New District Railway Station. It is estimated that this line will also lead to the port.

Before the apocalypse, Li Xun had been staying on a container ship, and he had been to Huanghua Port once or twice. This is a comprehensive port that mainly focuses on coal, petrochemicals, and ores, and is supplemented by container transportation. There must be no shortage of such materials on the port terminal. Useful for base building.

It was already past eight o'clock in the evening when Li Xun returned to Huanghuagang Station, that is to say, his legs were fast, and ordinary people really couldn't run so many places in such a short period of time.

After returning to the station, he went to the staff restaurant on the west side of the platform according to what Lao Fan said. The inside was brightly lit, and everyone in the base was there, making it a bit lively.

Unexpectedly, the restaurant is really not small, it is five or six hundred square meters, and five or sixty people are not crowded inside.

The windows of the restaurant were covered by thick curtains, and there was almost no light from the outside. There were more than a dozen torches planted around them, making them as bright as day.

There are many rectangular tables with light-colored wood grain inside, each table is equipped with four chairs, and there are roughly thirty or forty sets.

Yu Qingming was wearing a white chef's uniform, holding a large spoon in his hand, and was instructing several men to put rectangular stainless steel basins on the slots of the cooking window. Seven or eight of them had already been placed. There are four big pots full of rice, the big stainless steel pots with a diameter of half a meter.

A few women placed cutlery and plates on the left side of the window, and most of the rest sat at the table in twos and threes and whispered.

Four tables were used to form a large table near the inside of the restaurant. Lao Fan, Cheng Xi, Shen Yiqing, Zhao Qinghe, Zhang Ying, and Hou Yuchen sat at the table and talked.

Daju, who was lying on the window table, spotted Li Xun first, and ran over quickly. When Lao Fan saw him, he smiled and stood up to meet him.

The restaurant suddenly fell silent. A group of ordinary survivors looked at Li Xun cautiously, not daring to breathe, and even the few people who were working lightly.

"You're back, boss? It's almost time for dinner." Lao Fan smiled and didn't say much.

"Okay, let's eat first." Li Xun nodded.

Lao Fan yelled into the window: "Old Yu, is it alright? The boss is back."

"Okay, it's time to serve dinner." Yu Qingming took off his chef's uniform and walked out of the kitchen.

Cheng Xi greeted Zhao Qinghe and others and came over.

Lao Fan picked up two dinner plates from the table and handed one to Li Xun. He took a spoon and walked forward along the window.

"Heh, the buffet has a lot of variety, and there are cabbage, which is pretty good. Old Yu Ke put in a lot of effort." Li Xun praised while scooping vegetables into the dinner plate.

The food in Yu Qingming Cuisine is really good. There are eight dishes in total, half of which are meat. In addition, there are fish, vegetables, and soup. It is definitely not inferior to the food here before the end of the world.

"Hey, this cabbage is grown in the small courtyard to the west of the restaurant. Hou Yuchen said that Lin Cheng is not willing to eat it at ordinary times, and he plans to use it to improve his life. There are more than 200 cabbages in total. Let Lao Yu kill more than 20 cabbages at once." Lao Fan laughed and said, "In addition, they collected a lot of food. Good guy, they piled up six carriages."

"So many?" Li Xun was also a little surprised, this Lincheng is quite easy to find, and there are so many food.

"More than that, there are two wagons of drinking water and some miscellaneous things. Including the three wagons brought back today, there are a total of fourteen wagons, which can last for a long time."

Li Xun and the others ate and sat down first, and Lao Fan yelled at the rest of the people: "It's time for dinner, everyone open their stomachs and eat hard to make sure they are full."

Everyone had been waiting for this sentence, and now they all smiled when they heard it, and walked quickly to the window. Although they have eaten and drank a lot since joining the base, it is good to be able to fill their stomachs normally, how can it be as rich as it is now.

Although there were quite a few people, they were quite orderly, and they lined up consciously, but there was no crowding, mainly because they saw that there were enough meals.

After everyone ordered their dishes, this round, the most popular dish was the only stewed cabbage with green vegetables.

Li Xun took the lead and sat down at the big table. While eating, he asked, "Old Fan, how many people are there in the base?"

"There are 58 people in total, 41 women, 28 men, the average age is 49, and the oldest is [-]."

"Well, what's going on in that town to the south?"

"The south of the railway is the Huanghua New District. The urban area is about seven or eight square kilometers, and the permanent population is about [-]. They mainly work in ports, railways, and several large factories. The number of zombies is not too high."

"With 100,000 people, there should be several thousand survivors, and dozens of evolutionaries. There are fewer people joining the base."

"Before, Lincheng only needed people under fifty."

"There are no polar beasts in Huanghua New District?"

"Before, it was said that there were seven extreme beasts in total, but I don't know why, these extreme beasts left a few days ago. At present, there should be no more in the entire city."

"Ah."

After asking these questions, Li Xun stopped talking and concentrated on eating, and everyone became quiet.

Everyone ate very quickly, and they finished eating in ten minutes. Everyone ate a lot, especially the evolutionists at Li Xun's table. .

After dinner, under Lao Fan's arrangement, everyone dispersed and couldn't do anything at night, so they all went back to their places of residence to rest and sleep.

Lao Fan took Li Xun to the boxcar where Lin Cheng usually lives.

The boxcar was tidied up, complete with bed, sofa, coffee table and other things, and a carpet was laid on the floor, making it look like a cozy little home.

A few people closed the iron door, lit candles, and sat around on the sofa. Li Xun said, "I'll sleep here tonight. Everyone will take turns to watch the night on the roof of the car. Be vigilant. Let's start with Old Yu."

Just as Yu Qingming was about to get up and go out, Cheng Xi stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "Boss, I'll be on duty alone tonight. I've already marked everyone, and everyone's location can be monitored."

Li Xun nodded. Cheng Xi's marking ability is very convenient to use in this area, and can be directly located.

He glanced around, glanced at a few people, and said, "This can be used as a base."
