Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Zhang Tao originally wanted to go to the blockhouse to make do with Lin Na, calling it safe, but unfortunately Lin Na disagreed, so he had to choose a house with a bathroom on the south side of Liu Quan's home.  Anyway, he was alone, and he ate together in the small courtyard. It was enough to sleep in a place that was impervious to wind and rain.

    In fact, the quality of the two houses next to the west wall of the small courtyard is better, but Hong Tao said that he is not allowed to choose this row of houses, because this string of houses will be demolished in a few days.

    why?  Hong Tao said it was called a firebreak.  If a nearby house catches fire, it will burn a large area.  With the house ruins about ten meters wide, it can effectively prevent the fire from spreading.

    Not only the house near the west wall of Courtyard No. 52 had to carry out all the furniture, the roof was picked up, and only the masonry structure was left.  The rooms at the back of No. 56 courtyard near the north wall of Hong Tao's house had to be done in the same way, including the big jujube tree in the courtyard, which had to be felled.

    "Will zombies come in here?" After choosing a house, everyone got busy, only Liu Quan was free.  Zhou Jinlan did all the housework, and he got in the way if he stayed in the house, so he just came out to chat with Hong Tao.

    "It's not very likely. There is a bolt in the gate of the courtyard. If the two ends are inserted in the door opening, the zombies will not be able to open it for a while if they are strong. There are no doors in other places, and the zombies will not climb the wall. Build a ladder here. If an accident occurs  If you need to transfer, climb up the ladder, and I will put a ladder on the other side of the wall." Hong Tao is checking the circuits in the yard, keeping the useful ones, cutting off all the useless ones, and if it is not too complicated, they can be powered on before night  up.

    "I'm just asking casually, don't take it personally" Liu Quanyou spoke again after taking a few puffs of cigarette with his head sullen.

    "Well, I'm listening" Hong Tao was still standing on the ladder, stroking a wire to find the source.

    "Do you have a long-term plan, a little more specific?"

    "I was thinking that you would definitely come to talk to me, but I didn't expect it to be so soonOkay, let's talk as we go. Come on, give me a hand, hold this wireOh, take it easy, there's no electricity!  "

    Hong Tao laughed when he heard this question, and he guessed right, this director is really not a worthless person, he is already planning for the future.  Asking one like this is to see if there is too much conflict between my own ideas and his ideas, and it is also testing my ability, whether it is worth following for a long time.

    " If this is the case, we will use this place as a base to operate I have a rough idea, I don't know if it's right, but I just mentioned it casually"

    After listening to Hong Tao's vision for future development, Liu Quanyou entered into long-term thinking. He almost finished the external circuit of a family before speaking, still half-talking and half-talking.

    "Director Liu, let me tell the truth. Before there is no better choice, we are like grasshoppers tied to a rope. If we can't run away, I can't jump you. Everything will be damaged. As long as it is for  I can accept things that are good for the collective, even if they don¡¯t sound good. This is not the time to save face, one unexpected can kill one¡¯s life, what do you think?¡±

    Hong Tao also understood why Director Liu took so much effort to speak.  People who work in the system are already cautious, but now that the law is gone, a word has to be added.  They are very afraid of offending people by saying the wrong thing, and if it is not a particularly important matter, they probably will not give any suggestions lightly, and the less mistakes they do, the less mistakes they do.

    "That's right, I'm thinking too much Let's just say it, I thought about it for a while, and I feel that this place is not suitable as a permanent base, and there are too many places to defend. It's easy to handle during the day, but if it is night  We probably don¡¯t even know who¡¯s coming, even if we send more people on duty, it won¡¯t have much effect.¡±

    In fact, what kind of temper is Hong Tao?  Since Hong Tao spoke so bluntly, he stopped probing and expressed all his worries in one breath.

    "Oh, chief director, whoever said that our cadres are not up to standard, this opinion is very constructive! Indeed, this place is not suitable for a permanent base, but I can't help it. I really can't find a suitable place for a while  High-rise buildings, it is indeed more convenient to defend, but once it is surrounded, it will become a Jedi, and there is nowhere to run. I also want to go to Qiongdao in the North Sea. As long as the bridge is blocked, it will be an isolated island, and you can enter and exit through the water.  But it is too troublesome to collect materials there, and there is no suitable residence on the island. It is easy to do in summer, but it is very troublesome to heat in winter. In addition, I also want to live under the subway station. It is warm in winter and cool in summer and is very strong. But any one  There are at least two passages in the subway station, plus the two openings of the track, it seems that it is quite difficult to defend. I am thinking about spending the winter here first, and I will go around more during the period to see if there are any survivors, etc.  More manpower will be transferred to an office building with underground space and close to the residential area, preferably two or three buildings with commonKind of like an underground garage.  It's a pity that there is not enough manpower now. To transform that kind of underground space requires the use of large-scale machinery and equipment, as well as certain professional knowledge, which cannot be completed in a short time.  "

    After hearing Director Liu's question, Hong Tao simply stopped what he was doing and got down from the ladder, handed him a cigarette, squatted under the eaves, and began to talk about his vision for the base.

    Originally, he didn't intend to discuss this matter with Director Liu. As an administrative cadre, he didn't know much about it, so he couldn't discuss it with any results.  I didn't expect to look at people through the crack of the door. He pointed out the fatal weakness of the small courtyard when he first came, which was very level.

    It may be enough to deal with unintelligent zombies here, but if you want to compete with other survivor groups for dominance in the future, you will be passive. There are congenital defects, and the more you build, the bigger the defects will be.

    "It's really a big problemOld Hong, can I ask one more question, what did you do before?" Liu Quanyou intended to show off and attract Hong Tao's attention to raise his status, but he didn't expect so much.

    In his eyes, Hong Tao is a social person with good health and courage. This kind of person is easy to deal with, and troublesome if he says it is troublesome.

    After listening to Hong Tao's long story, he immediately put away his contempt.  Fortunately, the people I thought of had already thought of it, and thought of it more comprehensively and meticulously.

    This is when I met a sensible person, and I can no longer follow the original plan to spend a day counting as a day. I have to buy some dry goods, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.  But I and my daughter-in-law have no physical strength, no courage, and the only dry goods that can be produced are knowledge.

    "Hehe, that's a lot to say. When I was young, I was a well-known bastard in this area, and the threshold of the police station was almost leveled by me. After graduating from university, I resigned from my iron job and applied for a job in the Ministry of Aeronautics and Space.  Scientific research units have also opened Internet cafes and restaurants, and they have done a lot of work, but they can¡¯t do anything for long.¡±

    Hong Tao has been talking about this history for twenty years, and sometimes even he himself can't tell which life it is.

    "Oh, this is both civil and military!" Liu Quanyou didn't know what to say. Before, I really didn't expect this person to have such rich experience. Now it can't be said that he puts down his contempt and must go all out.  , I don't know if I can handle it well.

    "To be honest, it's the first time I've heard someone praise me so much when I grow up so big! Director Liu, I know what you mean, and I know that you are capable. In fact, I would like to ask you to contribute more to this group.  But the conditions don't allow it for the time being, so it's a bit shameful to have several leaders with just seven or eight people and three or four guns. But don't worry, if our team can expand tonot even hundreds of people, there can be two or three  Ten people, you are the best candidate to head the house, how are you?"

    Ever since Liu Quanyou pointed out the biggest flaw at present, Hong Tao has basically made up his mind that this is a usable talent and must be stabilized.  What do you use to stabilize it?  It is obviously not enough to just give a chance to survive. If you want people to follow you, you have to pursue higher pursuits, such as some small rights or something.

    "Old Comrade Hong, I really don't want to take advantage of this opportunity, don't get me wrong!"

    This promise not only did not make Liu Quanyou ecstatic, but his face was pale, and cold sweat came down his forehead.  What does it mean to be rewarded for nothing, without any contribution at all, and suddenly give a promise to the second-in-command, this thing is not called happiness, it is called a reminder.
