The soldiers leaned against the wall and chatted. They carried guns, but there was no panic in their eyes. The workers were dismantling the barbed wire—they wanted to move the barbed wire outside to expand the space for the residents of the base to move.

Everyone was sweating profusely, but no one complained. When it was time to rest, someone would call them with a horn to stop, and even had to shout to make them stop.

"Eat first!" The young man put his hips on his hips and shouted angrily, "Who will do the work when you're tired?!"

The workers just looked at each other resentfully, then smiled and went to get a bowl to eat.

"There's meat." A worker who had just turned sixteen held a bowl and watched the rice cooker put a large spoonful of roasted pork with potatoes on his rice. He quickly said, "Less, less, too much." Already!"

The cook didn't understand: "You don't like meat?"

The worker next to him said with a smile: "We taught him to make a little less for the first bowl, and after a few mouthfuls, he can immediately make the second."

"I couldn't eat this kind of roast meat before, so I can only sleep with my butt covered, and see if I can dream about it."

The workers laughed, and they started queuing, and as they said, everyone's first meal was very little.

They squatted aside with their bowls to eat, finished their small meals in a few mouthfuls, and then queued up again. This time they all filled a big bowl.

"Come and pick it up!" The soldier pushing the cart took off his hat and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

A worker not far away asked, "What did you bring here?!"

The soldier shouted angrily: "Good thing! But it's not your place to come here!"

The workers ran over with their rice bowls, and they were careful not to spill the meat on the rice on the way. Some people ate while running, and when they arrived, there were only a few grains of rice left in the rice bowls.

"The owner of the supermarket gave it away for free." The soldier said with a smile, "Lemonade."

The soldier swallowed: "There is a lot of rock sugar in it."

The price of lemonade in the supermarket is not cheap, a bottle costs three to five yuan, and the big brands even cost seven or eight yuan, but Ye Zhou buys lemons and rock sugar in the system supermarket by himself, which is cheaper and healthier.

In addition to not being cold, it is better than big brands.

The workers took their water glasses and lined up to pick up lemonade. Some of them brought their own large cups, which were bigger than bowls, and prepared to drink them in the afternoon.

Although supplies are abundant now, few people are willing to buy fruit, let alone buy lemons to soak in water.

Occasionally buying fruits is mostly the cheapest one.

"It's a bit hot." The person who couldn't help but take a sip of lemonade hurriedly moved the water glass away, but couldn't help but take a sip, and he let out a comfortable breath, "It's so sweet."

"I heard that we are also going to build a sugar factory."

"But we don't have any sugar cane here."

"Can you use beets? I heard that many sugar factories use beets, which have a large output."

"It is said that the output is large, but there were sugar factories and salt factories in other bases before, so why is there always a shortage of sugar and salt?"

"You stupid, what does that have to do with the output? Isn't it because the factory is not manned enough and the transportation is inconvenient?"

"Then there's also the transportation company."

"How much does the transportation company transport? It's amazing, two or three hundred catties at a time. If two or three hundred catties are distributed to a base, how much can each person get?"

The workers greeted the soldiers: "You drink too."

The soldier waved his hand: "Just finished drinking, we'll wait here for a while, we will go out after the last group of people who went out come back."

The workers sighed, "It's not easy for you."

Being a soldier is a hard job, with low wages and low treatment, and you have to be at the forefront when you encounter problems.

The soldier just smiled.

Although the tide of corpses has been eliminated, there will still be sporadic zombies emerging around.

For the safety of the base, the soldiers still have to go out to inspect and eliminate these scattered zombies before they gather.

After Yang Guoqin's experiment, people who were covered by the white light when the photon cannon was launched will no longer be affected by the zombie virus, or some parasite eggs. Unfortunately, many residents were not exposed to the white light at that time.

So it will take at least a month before the residents can enter and leave the base freely. Before that, they still have to stay in the base obediently, and the soldiers entering and leaving the base still have to be disinfected.

But this discovery has given everyone in the base a shot in the arm.

For people, the scary thing is never the zombie itself. A zombie is just a body. Although children and the elderly may not be able to defeat it, as long as adults in their prime of life face zombies one-on-one with weapons in their hands, they are absolutely useless. question.

The scary thing is the virus, the eggs of unknown creatures, they seem to be everywhere.

The scariest thing is what you can't see with the naked eye.

After lunch, Ye Zhou took a nap in the lounge. Nearly a week had passed since the tide of corpses struck.

During this period, he has been very busy, busy buying supplies from the system, and also busy paying Yang Guoqin's bill.

Yang Guoqin gave him the only remaining idle guns and corn cakes in the base in exchange for the supplies needed to renovate the base, but even so, Yang Guoqin did not show any distress.

The farm was ready to run. The soldiers drove the trucks to take away the chickens and ducks provided by Ye Zhou, and even took away a dozen pregnant sows. The feed was also transported by tons.

Yang Guoqin didn't even blink his eyes when he paid.

In addition, Yang Guoqin is still in contact with several surrounding bases on the front line, trying his best to sell photon cannons to them.

But the response was not very good.

When Yang Guoqin came to see Ye Zhou in the afternoon, he couldn't help sighing: "I don't believe it, I think I'm crazy."

Cao Erniang brought in the brewed tea, and seeing Yang Guoqin no longer shrinking her neck, she put the teacup away and said, "Then you should tell them well."

Yang Guoqin is very familiar with the employees in the supermarket now. He sighed and said, "It doesn't make sense. Ever since I talked about the supermarket, they thought I was crazy."

Ye Zhou: "..."

If in his plane, a friend suddenly told him that there was a supermarket that fell from the sky over there, with everything you need in it. It was clearly a supermarket, but it sold photon cannons.

He will definitely touch that friend's forehead, and sincerely say to him: "Brother, go to the hospital, don't delay the illness."

Ye Zhou picked up his teacup and took a sip, and said awkwardly, "In that case, let's invite them to come and take a look after the photon cannon's energy storage is over. Seeing it with your own eyes is more useful than listening to others."

Yang Guoqin: "Yes."

Ye Zhou put down his teacup: "When they buy the photon cannon, I should go too."

Yang Guoqin was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't realize it: "Let's go?"

Ye Zhou: "It's not that I won't come back, but I have a place to go, and I may come to visit in the future. Maybe by then this place will not be the Luoyang base, but a modern metropolis."

Yang Guoqin was silent for a few seconds. He looked into Ye Zhou's eyes and saw the helplessness in the other party's eyes.

He understood what Ye Zhou meant, and didn't force him anymore. He smiled and said, "Then will you say hello to me before you leave?"

Ye Zhou shook his head: "No."

"This is too impersonal." Yang Guoqin smiled. He took out a cigarette and held it in his hand without lighting it.

He knew Ye Zhou's concerns.

Even though he knew that Ye Zhou didn't belong to this world and might be a threat to human beings, Yang Guoqin decided to cooperate with him because the zombies outside the base were more terrifying than Ye Zhou, who didn't know the details.

But when the others realized that the zombies were no longer a threat, would they point their guns at Ye Zhou?

Yang Guoqin didn't dare to guarantee it.

If it wasn't for the timing of Ye Zhou's appearance and his selfishness, maybe at this moment, he and Ye Zhou wouldn't be able to sit here and drink tea at all, they should be enemies.

"Because I have done so much for the base, I hope you will not reveal my existence to others before I sell the photon cannon." Ye Zhou said to the tired middle-aged man, "I leave From now on, you can tell anyone about me."

Yang Guoqin smiled: "I really don't know what you are here for."

Did he make money?He has enough supplies in exchange for a base - if anyone is willing to exchange it.

He is more generous than the elves in fairy tales. Yang Guoqin only saw that he was giving, but did not realize that he was asking for something.

After all, what he got and what he gave are not equivalent in Yang Guoqin's view.

Ye Zhou: "You just treat me as a future person? I came here to help you."

After Ye Zhou finished speaking, he was amused by his "brazenness". He said softly, "Whether this place can improve or not depends not on me, but on you. What I can do is actually very limited."

He is just a businessman. It is everyone living here who really protects this place with both hands, defends dignity, and rebuilds his hometown.

Farmers, workers, soldiers, doctors and scientists, they use their flesh and blood to protect their homeland.

Yang Guoqin was still in a daze when he left. He walked out of the supermarket gate, stopped involuntarily after walking for a while, and turned his head to take a look.

The supermarket is still the same as it was when it first appeared. It is boxy and has a somewhat vulgar signboard. It looks very new, but it is not high-end. It is no different from any ordinary large supermarket before the end of the world.

As if it had always been there, not appearing suddenly, nor disappearing suddenly.

Seeing that Yang Guoqin hadn't left, the orderly asked curiously, "General, why don't you leave? There will be a meeting later."

Yang Guoqin asked suddenly: "Do you believe in God?"

The orderly was speechless: "General, at least we have read books. Although we haven't read many books, who would believe in God?"

Yang Guoqin said, "I suddenly believe it."

The orderly was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Yang Guoqin didn't continue talking, he was very confused and didn't know how to speak many words.

He sat in the car and looked at the flat land in the distance, feeling very peaceful in his heart.

It's not a concrete person, or an illusory god and Buddha.

Rather, it is a symbol that can give hope and encouragement in the midst of great crisis.

Can on a field of corpses--

Fall from the sky.
