Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 2166 The storm is coming
Endless sea fog rolled and gradually approached the southern coast of Baby Island from the sea.

Swallow.

The zombies and zombie sea beasts could still be vaguely seen in the sea fog, a sight that sent chills down one's spine.

Docks, masts, streets, dilapidated houses, bricks on the ground, and withered grass and leaves drifting in the sky.
They are all being eroded little by little by the sea fog.

The judge in the helicopter felt a strange sense of oppression upon witnessing this scene.

According to their sea fog diffusion simulation, it is expected to reach the southeastern coast of the continent within a month.

I always thought the sea fog was far away from them, but now it's about to make landfall on the mainland coast.

There was a sense of urgency, like dark clouds looming over the city, threatening to crush it.

They were so cautious because they knew how dangerous the sea fog and the zombies within it were.

Seeing the sea fog about to surge towards the helicopter, the judge urged:
"Gao Le, are you guys done yet?"

Meteorologists like Gao Le specialize in studying the relationship between sea fog and zombie mutations, and they often need to go close to the location of sea fog to conduct observations and research.

Gao Le put away his binoculars and said to the judge:

"That's about right. The speed at which this sea fog spreads will be affected by the mountains after it lands, blowing towards flat areas. Since the Taitung Mountain Range to the east of Baby Island will block the sea fog, it will most likely blow to southern Guangdong Province first."

The judge nodded and said:
"Let's leave here first."

He then instructed Lao Qin to pilot the helicopter and leave the area first.

Their previous experience in the southern Philippines left them with psychological trauma.

They would rather die than fly through the sea fog unless absolutely necessary.

That feeling of lacking vision and everything being hazy was really unpleasant.

buzzing-

Not long after the helicopter flew away from its original area, the airport area was shrouded in sea fog.

Gao Le found the judge and said, "Commander Judge, I think we should go to the vicinity of the Taitung Mountain Range to observe and make actual observations."

"Hmm." The judge believed that professionals should do professional things, so he ordered Old Qin to fly towards the Taitung Mountains.

the other side.

After rescuing the last group of survivors, Lao Bi's helicopter squadron also embarked on its return journey to the oil city.

Sea fog has landed on Baby Island. For safety reasons, they will now suspend search and rescue operations and the collection of supplies and equipment on Baby Island.

Headquarters Base of Dazhangshu.

Administrative building.

Li Yu also attended this week's meeting.

He sat in the head seat, listening to everyone's reports.

Liu Jianwen, the deputy minister of the military department, said with a solemn expression:
"According to the latest report from the judge instructor, the sea fog has now spread to the southeastern coast of Baby Island and is expected to make landfall on the coast of Guangdong Province in about a month."

"In another month, we will be able to reach our headquarters base in Dazhangshu."

"In other words, in two months, the sea fog and sea fog zombies will arrive at the Big Camphor Tree headquarters!"

"In areas shrouded in sea fog, the chances of survival for survivors are extremely low!"

As soon as Liu Jianwen finished his report, Li Yu looked at his second uncle and asked:
How many migrant survivors have there been in the past month?

Second Uncle Li Hongda replied:

"The last new immigrant survivor population was 80,000, and the current total population of Dazhangshu is 171 million."

"The number was 90,000 the month before last and 80,000 this month. This marks the second consecutive month that the number of new births has declined."

"We have used all kinds of publicity methods, such as broadcasting, spraying posters, and encouraging personnel going out to carry out missions to persuade others. It seems that before the sea fog disaster arrives, the total population of our Zhangshu will not be able to exceed 200 million."

Population is productivity.

In particular, the camphor tree has now developed into the largest survivor force in the country.

What they are considering now is no longer the struggle with other survivor factions, because at present, people have been to the Big Camphor Tree in all parts of the country except for Xinjiang and Tibet.

The remaining survivor bases across the country are few and far between, and can hardly be called bases at all; they are just scattered groups of soldiers, very small in scale.

These survivor teams posed absolutely no threat to the enormous camphor tree.

Therefore, long ago, the camphor tree had already considered from a higher perspective how to support a larger population.

Because of this population, both now and in the future, they can play a huge role in promoting the development of Dazhangshu.

However, the country is vast, and some survivors are hiding in deep mountains and forests, making them difficult to find.

In addition, some survivors value their freedom and would rather live alone than join a faction.

Or perhaps they harbored doubts about the large camphor tree, after all, they had seen too many dark things in the early days of the apocalypse, and they no longer trusted anyone but themselves.

The continuous decline in new population growth means that future population growth has almost reached its limit.

Their external publicity has been going on for a whole year, and those who are willing to join Dazhangshu should join as soon as possible.

Those who are unwilling to join are probably just like that.

However, Li Yu still wanted to save as many people as possible.

Li Yu began by saying:
"With only one month left, we will intensify our publicity efforts in South China, using helicopters to distribute leaflets from the air, striving to ensure that every city receives effective publicity!"

"Okay," Liu Jianwen nodded.

"Also," Li Yu said, looking at Ding Jiu, who was sitting in the fourth seat on the right.
"Director Ding, the railway line from the North to the Oil City has been under construction for more than three months, and the track repair and reinforcement project is only halfway done. The progress is too slow!"

"The rail line from the Oil City to Oriental Paradise opened at the same time as the Shibei Line, while the Shidong Line has already been completed!"

"Go to the Shibei line yourself and investigate. Give Zhang Yunxiang a warning and tell him to hurry up!"

Ding Jiu stood up, looking somewhat embarrassed, after being called out by Li Yu in person.
"Yes, City Lord."

I was secretly cursing Zhang Yunxiang; damn it, I'd been criticized twice because of him.

Li Yu then asked:
"We also need to expedite the rail transit project from the oil city to the northwest. When will Shan Ziming be sent to take charge of the northwest rail line?"

Ding Jiu replied:
"They are still conducting trial operations on the Shidong line today. After the trial operation goes smoothly, Shan Zimo will head to the Northwest the day after tomorrow."

"Okay." Li Yu had a good impression of Shan Zimo.

"We should promote capable and efficient people without hesitation!"

Second Uncle quickly said:

"He has already been promoted to a level three staff member, which is a very fast promotion."

"Okay." Li Yu nodded after hearing this. "Let's continue the meeting. What do you need to report next?"

Second Uncle looked at Li Yuan, "Director Li Yuan, could you report on the current grain storage situation in Dazhangshu?"

Li Yuan stood up and reported:

"As of February 17th, the total grain reserves in Dazhangshu are 340,000 tons. Without any additional grain production, the reserves are expected to be able to support the entire population of our Dazhangshu base for 8 months."

"Compared to six months ago, the grain reserves can last for three more months!"

"Currently, the grain produced each quarter exceeds the grain consumed by the population of Dazhangshu."

"This is mainly due to the completion of the out-of-town plantations at various branch bases in the last four months, which has boosted grain production."

Oil City.

A market fair. The First People's Broadcasting Station in Dazhangshu broadcasted:
Latest update on the sea fog disaster and zombies:

Our Zhangshu reconnaissance team discovered yesterday that sea fog has spread to our precious island and landed on the coast, heading towards the mainland at an extremely fast speed.

It is expected to arrive at the southeastern coast of my country in one month and at the headquarters base in Dazhangshu in two months.

We urge all scavengers to refrain from scavenging in coastal areas recently, as the journey may be too long and they may not be able to return in time.

A reminder: the sea fog disaster should not be underestimated. There are a large number of zombies in the sea fog, and once you are trapped in the sea fog, you will almost certainly die!
"

This broadcast caused a huge stir in the oil city.

The residents are all talking about it.

"Damn, the sea fog is coming so soon! I thought it would be much longer."

"Yes, time flies. We need to save up some points quickly. Starting today, I need to start cutting back on expenses. Once the sea fog disaster hits, we won't be able to go out to scavenge, and we'll have to rely on our savings to get by."

"Not necessarily. They're still hiring in Edge City. If all else fails, we can go there and work as laborers. We'll get fewer points, but at least we'll have some income."

"You're oversimplifying things. Once the fortresses are built, the construction of the outer cities will definitely start with recruiting those fortress workers."

“That makes sense. Let’s hurry up and find supplies outside, and make the most of these last two months.”

One person had a different opinion, and he calmly said:
"Why are you all in such a hurry? Didn't you hear what they said on the radio? We'll arrive at the headquarters in two months, but it will take at least four or five months to get to the oil city."

An elder advised:

"You should prepare early. As someone who has lived in Oil City for three years, I still advise you to save up more points. After every natural disaster, the prices of everything except cornbread will go up."

The young man disagreed:

“Old man, your thinking is too outdated. We now have five bases in the Great Camphor Tree faction, and two train tracks have been connected. We can also repair the remaining two tracks before the Sea Fog Disaster arrives.”

Even if I can't find a job in the oil city, I can still find work at other branch bases.

The competition in the oil city is too fierce. I plan to go to Oriental Paradise in two months. If I can't find it there, I'll go to the headquarters. I can still afford the transportation costs!

The old man sighed. "What if the train tracks break down when the sea fog disaster strikes?"

The young man laughed and said, "You still don't have enough confidence in our big camphor tree. I saw that train with my own eyes when I was outside. It was heavily armored and had a lot of firepower. It could move freely even in the sea fog."

Or do you think you're smarter than the higher-ups at our big camphor tree company?

The old man couldn't argue with him, so he shook his head and left.

This notice has a significant impact on scavengers.

But for those with stable jobs in the trading market, it doesn't feel like much.

They stayed in the marketplace and did not go out.

Even when natural disasters strike, they still have income, especially since they live in the trading market.

There are three layers of walls around them, so they are perfectly safe!

The notice reached the construction sites of the city's fortresses, which are still under construction, and had a significant impact on them.

The workers felt a sense of urgency, which significantly accelerated the construction of the fortress.

However, the fortifications protecting the oil city are currently 80% complete.

In another two weeks, it will all be completed.

The city's moat fortresses, like the headquarters base in the camphor tree, consist of 12 fortresses.

The number of fortresses is determined by the size of the base.

Places like Oriental Paradise only have six fortresses.

The northern border consists of eight fortresses.

In the northwest, the main focus of reinforcement is on the Wuyuan Mountain base, while the number of defensive fortresses built in other northwest sub-bases is relatively small.

Based on the terrain of the surrounding mountains, six large fortresses were built in Wuyuan Mountain, and the distribution of the fortresses is in the shape of ">".

As a base that is a necessary passage into the Northwest, Wuyuan Mountain Base has been responsible for resisting the zombies surging in from the east since the time when the big boss was in control.

The Northwest is a vast region, with large areas consisting of deserts and wastelands, and is sparsely populated.

Zombies are relatively rare.

Even in the apocalypse, there are relatively few zombies that can penetrate deep into the northwest.

A zombie has to travel nearly 3,000 kilometers from the eastern coast to the Jiuquan base in the northwest.

It takes an extremely long time.

Moreover, zombies have no consciousness; they simply wander blindly in the sea fog, only heading towards places where they sense a strong human presence.

Therefore, although defenses were also built in the northwest, they were not as comprehensive as those at the headquarters base.

The propaganda team of Dazhangshu included a radio broadcasting group.

They broadcast 24 hours a day via FM, AM, and shortwave, covering a vast area; as long as there is a signal, the broadcast can be received thousands of kilometers away.

This group broadcasts news about the Great Camphor Tree year-round, attracting many survivors to join the Great Camphor Tree.

Guilin.

On Cat Mountain.

A middle-aged man with a full beard fiddled with a radio in his hands.

"Damn it, why is it silent again!"

"Cousin! Come over here right now and fix my radio!"

Behind him was a stone house nestled against the mountain, with several solar panels on its roof.

There is an open space outside the stone house, and in front of the open space is a patch of sweet potatoes growing.

After the burly man shouted, a woman came out of the stone house:
"Cousin, what's the point of fixing it? You don't want to go to that big camphor tree anyway!"

"I'm tired of listening to their radio every day."

The big man glared at her. "Just fix it when I tell you to. You college students are smart, but you underestimate human nature."

The woman walked over, took the radio from the big man's hand, and pressed two buttons.

Then he went into the stone house, took out a toolbox, disassembled the radio, fiddled with it for a moment, plugged it in, and said, "It should work now."

Big Han quickly switched to a channel where he could hear the propaganda broadcast about the big camphor tree.

sizzle-

"To all survivors across the country, we have detected that a sea fog will land on our coastline in a month and will gradually sweep across the entire country. Zombies that have left the land will follow the sea fog and land on land."

Please prepare your defenses as soon as possible. Alternatively, you can come to the Big Camphor Tree. There are five bases in the Big Camphor Tree. You can go to the nearest of these five locations:
The southern headquarters base is located at 115°54′E, 25°29′N.

"

A month?

Upon hearing this time, the burly man's expression changed slightly.

My cousin, who was next to me, also stopped drying sweet potatoes and came over, saying with a worried look on her face:

"Cousin, what do we do?"

The burly man's expression shifted between light and shadow as he said:
"Let's discuss this together when Dongshan and the others return."

"Even if we don't go to the nearest headquarters in Dazhangshu, we still need to make some preparations. The way they're talking on the radio is so serious, it's making us worry."
