Oil City.

Workers in the buffer city continue to install container sentry towers and ultraviolet lights.

The snow is getting heavier and heavier.

Zhang Rufeng and others outside the buffer city wall were shivering from the cold.

But they cannot retreat yet. They must wait until the container towers and ultraviolet lights on the fence are installed before they can return to the city.

Two hours later.

The snow showed no sign of stopping, and the ground was already completely white.

In the snow, there are still sporadic survivors coming.

Zhang Rufeng couldn't bear it anymore in the snow, so he hid in the car and picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Xie Changshan to ask:

"Jie Changshan, tell me how long it will take!"

Xie Changshan was so busy that he replied after a while:

"Two hours, give me another two hours, and the sentry tower and ultraviolet lights will be installed!"

"Damn it, it will be almost dark in two hours!" Zhang Rufeng complained.

Xie Changshan quickly explained:

"Captain Zhang, there is nothing I can do about it. We have installed it as quickly as possible. You and your brothers can hold on for another two hours, just two hours."

"Okay."

Zhang Rufeng stuffed the walkie-talkie back into his pocket, put on the headset, buckled on the windproof mask, and walked out of the car.

As soon as he stepped out of the car, snowflakes fell on his head.

He trembled and stood beside the car with the gun in hand.

In the snow, these guards from the Civil Armed Forces Division were like a long human-shaped wall, protecting the buffer city behind them.

In the trading market.

Workers braved heavy snow to lay heating pipes in Area C of the residential area.

Now all the rooms in Area A, Area B and even Area C are heated.

The room with the heating on was as warm as spring. The survivors in the room without the heating could only wrap themselves up tightly in quilts, huddle in bed and watch the snow falling outside.

Three hours after it snowed, the temperature dropped again.

It reached minus five or six degrees Celsius with a slight breeze.

After a few hours of snow, most of the survivors returned to the residential buildings except for the construction workers.

The number of people in the business district suddenly decreased.

Only outside store No. 2, there was a long queue, where these survivors came to buy tortillas.

In the trading market industrial area, white mist is steaming.

The entire trading market was much quieter than usual.

In oil city.

Uncle San was sitting in the office making hot tea. The heat from the radiator next to him made the entire office feel as warm as spring.

call--

The third uncle took a sip of hot tea and looked out the window at the falling snow.

He had contacted Jie Changshan just now, and it would take another two hours to complete the buffer city.

But it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and it would be dark in two hours.

Tuk Tuk——

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Come in." Third uncle whispered.

I saw Lao Huang and Ju Tianrui walking in together.

Ju Tianrui turned around and closed the door behind him, then said to his third uncle:

“Now 2,000 buffer city wall guards have been recruited, and I have temporarily placed them in the temporary shelter in Building 6 of the North District.

We are now distributing cold weapons and windproof and warm clothing to them. Later, when the journey to Changshan is about to end, I will let them go up. "

"Where is the team that is supporting Zhang Rufeng and the others? Who did you let go?" Third Uncle asked.

Ju Tianrui quickly said:

"Dongfeng and Zhang Tianfu, they are also ready and can go up the wall at any time."

"Um."

The third uncle nodded slightly, "Okay, I understand, then just proceed as planned."

While Zhang Rufeng and the others were retreating back to the buffer city, someone also needed to be on duty on the wall for protection.

Otherwise, Zhang Ru and the others would not be able to retreat while guarding the buffer city wall.

After seeing what Ju Tianrui had said, Lao Huang said:

"Minister, I would like to ask when the construction of the greenhouses in the buffer city will start?"

"If it's going to be built, will it have to be re-recruited? Or will it be selected from existing workers?"

The third uncle thought for a moment and said:

"Let's talk about the greenhouse tomorrow. We'll wait until the buffer city wall stabilizes."

"If you want to build a greenhouse, don't recruit again for the time being. You can go back and let Xie Changshan and the others select from the existing workers based on the number of labor required to build the greenhouse."

"OK."

Northern Territory.

The snow is like a swarm of wildly dancing butterflies, spinning wantonly over the ruins, mercilessly devouring the world.

The towering wall stands alone, like a desperate line of defense, guarding the fortress.

Above the wall, the iron-gray city wall was covered with snow, making it look even heavier, as if it was also filled with the sadness and heaviness of this land.

The guards shivered in the cold, like kites that had been stripped of all their strength, allowing themselves to be ravaged by the wind and snow.

As they breathed in, the frosty air condensed into ice on the tips of their noses, and the desire for warmth shone in everyone's eyes.

Changing of guard.

The person who was relieved of duty quickly ran into the guard tower.

Inside the sentry tower, the heat was steaming, and a layer of fine water droplets condensed on the walls.

That is caused by the large temperature difference between inside and outside.

Under the corner, several zombie corpses lay quietly, gradually buried by the heavy snow.

Tap tap tap——

Several wall-climbing zombies jumped under the corner of the wall, struggling to dig up the snow, turning over the thin layer of snow, and biting the zombies killed by the guards below.

When the wall-climbing zombies eat, their sharp teeth tear into the carrion of their kind, chewing the bones and making a clicking sound.

They quickly devoured the corpses of their kind and climbed up the wall.

But after crawling for more than ten meters, he was driven back by the ultraviolet light shining down from above.

These wall-climbing zombies encountered ultraviolet light, just like mice encountering cats, and fled downwards in a hurry.

Lying on all fours under the city wall, he raised his head and looked at the humans on the wall.

Seemingly unwilling, they climbed up the wall again, crawled to a height of seven or eight meters, and ran parallel to both sides.

They were like geckos, wandering around the walls.

However, when they try to continue climbing up, they are exposed to ultraviolet light.

That is to say, it is snowing now, which reduces the distance of ultraviolet light.

Otherwise, these zombies would have no chance to climb up the wall. They might be exposed to ultraviolet light just by standing under the wall.

In a greenhouse in the northern outer city.

Green crops, full of vitality.

It was completely opposite to the ice and snow outside and the freezing temperature.

Huo Guanghua wore gloves and dug up the cultivated vegetable seedlings with a small shovel and placed them next to them.

The cabbage seedlings they planted grew together after sowing.

After the sprouts grow out, they need to be transplanted separately.

He repeated the action of digging and placing.

Since the temperature in the greenhouse reached more than 20 degrees, a thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead after working for a long time.

call--

After finally transplanting the cabbage seedlings, he sat cross-legged on the ground and rested for a while.

Looking at Niu Laosan not far away, he shouted:

"Third brother, throw the kettle to me!"

Niu Laosan was busy at the pool. After hearing Huo Guanghua's words, he lowered his head and threw a black kettle over.

Each greenhouse has a pool, and the water in these pools is specially used to irrigate crops.

The water flowing in from the outside must be left for a period of time to ensure that it reaches 26 degrees. During the set time, the water will be drip-irrigated automatically to the crops.

Huo Guanghua took the kettle and took two big gulps.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he took a long breath and said:

"Guys, please work harder and transplant all these vegetable seedlings today."

They were in the north and had no shortage of food.

As those who worked deeply in greenhouses in the north, they only received simple training from Zhang Qiwu and a few of his students at the beginning.

After more than half a year of planting, they have become more and more skilled in planting.

Live a very regular life every day.

And working with these green plants every day, watching these crops grow, mature and then be harvested, always gives them a sense of accomplishment.

This sense of solidity and accomplishment has never been experienced before.

When they stay in the north, there is no shortage of food and they can eat every meal.

The error-free version is being read! 6=9+Book_Bar debuts this novel.

Only sometimes, when they are on duty at the fence, it is the most boring time.

The outer city wall in the north is 50 meters high, and is equipped with movable blades and ultraviolet lights. There is no danger at all for them to stay on it.

It's just that the temperature has dropped recently and it's colder when I'm on duty.

In the inner city.

Li Haoran, Xiao Jun, and Ma Yingxue were sitting in the conference room of the City Lord's Mansion.

The heater was on, and a layer of fog had condensed on the high-strength glass.

Gululu——

The water in the boiler placed in the middle of the three people boiled.

On the table, there are three or four kinds of vegetables, frozen beef, and several corn tortillas.

Li Haoran opened the lid of the pot and used chopsticks to put in a few slices of frozen beef.

"It's time to eat!"

Xiao Jun nodded, picked up a piece of cooked beef, dipped it in some sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Haoran, I have to trouble you to keep an eye on the boiler factory in the inner city. Now the heating of the entire northern territory depends on the boiler factory."

Li Haoran said with a smile:

"Don't worry, Captain Xiao. Xie Weishan is watching over at the boiler factory. We have enough coal and firewood to burn for several months. After burning these things, we still have oil.

Even if the oil runs out, we still have zombie generators to generate electricity, which cannot sustain the entire northern territory, but it will definitely be no problem to support the heating of greenhouses. At worst, we will all move into greenhouses.

Anyway, there are so many greenhouses here in the north, enough for us to live in. "

"That's what I said, but you still have to be careful." Xiao Jun reminded again.

"Well, I go there and keep an eye on it every day." Li Haoran waved his hand and said.

Life in the North was much slower than he imagined.

There is no foreign population, no external enemy threat, and under today's defense system, the outer wall cannot cause harm to them.

The most important thing is that they don’t have to go out, which minimizes the risk.

They were enclosed within tall city walls, growing crops and producing food stably and regularly.

The personnel stationed here are extremely stable and there is no conflict between them.

Although there is a lack of entertainment activities, there is no need to go hungry.

The days passed very dullly.

It feels a bit like retirement.

The sky gradually darkened.

Workers in the buffer city successively installed ultraviolet lamps.

"Eastern section of the wall, test the ultraviolet lamp!" Wang Hao picked up the walkie-talkie to contact the staff below.

Miso miso miso!

The ultraviolet lights on the eastern section of the fence suddenly lighted up.

The supervisors above were checking on the fence.

"The ultraviolet lights in the eastern section are turned on normally."

"The ultraviolet lights in the second zone of the eastern section are turned on normally."

"The ultraviolet lights in the third zone of the eastern section are turned on normally."

“Next, test the container heating heater.”

"There is no problem with the No. 1 sentry tower in the western section, and the heating is on normally."

"There was a fault in opening the No. 18 sentry tower in the western section, and the pipeline may have leaked."

"Supervisor No. 18, find someone to fix it quickly."

On the fence, because the fence was still under construction a few hours ago, there are still many scattered tools and building materials on it.

After the ultraviolet lamps and sentry towers in some areas were installed, Jie Changshan immediately asked the supervisor to lead the workers to clean up the construction materials and tools on the fence.

Take away what needs to be carried away, and shovel away what needs to be shoveled away.

Try to leave a relatively flat and clean walkway to avoid the guards on the wall in the blizzard from tripping over these tools and materials.

As time goes by.

Dongfeng and Zhang Tianfu in the trading market came to support with 400 members of the Civil Armed Forces Division and 2,000 survivors who had just been recruited.

Among these survivors, the faces were cheerful.

Many of them entered the trading market only when they had no other choice.

Some people don’t have a single point when they enter the trading market.

The clothes he was wearing couldn't withstand such a cold blizzard.

However, after joining the Guard, Oil City gave them thick clothes, food, and points.

This kind of good thing is like a pie falling from the sky.

There were many survivors who had saved points in the trading market. After the weather got cold, they huddled in the residential area of ​​the trading market. They no longer had to take risks and endure the severe cold.

So for now, in the trading market, both those with points and those without points can at least survive.

The current trading market does not only rely on level 123 personnel, but their number is limited.

Many times, in order to defend the city, the support of level 45 personnel is needed.

There are a large number of fourth- and fifth-level personnel in the trading market.

Four hundred people from the Civil Armament Division's brigade lined up neatly. Behind them, two thousand survivors barely lined up and followed sparsely.

At the front of them, Dongfeng and Madman stood side by side under the buffer city wall.

The madman straightened his hat, looked at Dongfeng and said:

"Dongfeng, you are in charge of the east and south sections, and I am in charge of the west and north sections? How about that?"

"OK."

After the two reached an agreement, they each led their own teams, each with 1,000 people, and walked towards the buffer city wall.

After they went up, the workers on the buffer city wall, also urged by the supervisor, completed the final finishing work, removed the wall in an orderly manner, and lined up towards the gate of the trading market.

Half an hour later.

The ultraviolet lights and sentry towers on the buffer city walls have been fully installed.

Dongfeng and the others also fully took over the defense on the wall.

The buffer city wall is a square, and the length of each wall is the same.

On average, there are 100 members of the Civil Armed Forces Division and 500 survivors stationed on one wall.

Members of the Civil Armament Division were armed with firearms, and supporting survivors were armed with cold weapons.

Dongfeng stood on the edge of the wall and confirmed with Madman that his side was also well guarded.

Pick up the walkie-talkie and contact Zhang Rufeng, Chen Er, and Wu Li.

"Team Zhang, Team Chen, and Team Wu, we have deployed our defenses. You can return to the buffer city!"

Sizzling——

Zhang Rufeng, who looked like a snowman, picked up the walkie-talkie tremblingly.

"knew!"

Cursing secretly, he could finally retreat.

It's freezing to death!

He shouted to the surrounding team members:

"Retreat! Team 1 and Team 2 will retreat first, while Teams 3 and 4 will wait and retreat in order!"
