Doomsday Sacrifice

Chapter 204 Dawn
The station base spent the night peacefully in Jingjing and Zhongping.

Just as the sky turned white, Cheng Xi jumped off the roof of the car, moved his slightly stiff body, and stayed there all night without any movement, which was a bit boring. They hardly moved in the middle of the night, and the people in the base were very honest.

Last night, the small northeast wind blew all night, and it didn't affect him with his current physique, but the heavy humidity made him uncomfortable.

The sky is gloomy, with signs of snow.

"squeak……"

An iron door of the boxcar was pulled aside, Lao Fan got out of the car, looked up at the sky, and said hello to Cheng Xi: "How was last night?"

"It's nothing, it's just that Zhao Qinghe and Zhang Ying stayed together all night, and many people have been looking for Hou Yuchen, calling and calling, until very late."

Lao Fan's expression was a bit strange: "Did you not listen to the corner?"

"Tch, what's so interesting, the two of you didn't do anything except discuss the next step."

"Hehe, let's discuss it, maybe we won't need the energy ball." Lao Fan said with a smile, "By the way, how do you know that many people have approached Hou Yuchen?"

"Hey, I made two marks on him."

"Smart! It's great that you have used this ability well. It seems that you will use this special ability more often in the future." Lao Fan praised.

Cheng Xi agreed: "That's right, you need to use it more, practice makes perfect, and if you use it a lot, inspiration may come at any time."

"Inspiration? What inspiration came?" Yu Qingming also got out of the car, as if he was still a little sleepy.

"Old Yu, what about you, you can unlock new abilities by cooking more in the future." Cheng Xi joked.

"Hehe, it would be great if this is the case. I'll cook." Yu Qingming stretched his waist and walked to the restaurant. Evolved people eat more.

"What's for breakfast?" Cheng Xi asked.

“Fried rice and beef noodles.”

"Old Yu, do more, just like last night, everyone has a share." Lao Fan instructed.

"understood."

Daju jumped out of the car energetically and followed Yu Qingming.

The doors of more than a dozen boxcars separated by three railway lines opened one after another, and ordinary survivors in the base got up after hearing the movement here.

It was actually getting late, the nights in winter were very long, and it didn't dawn until after six o'clock.

Hou Yuchen took out a pack of wet wipes from the bedside, wiped his face with one piece, drank the half bottle of water left over from last night, got off the boxcar where six people lived, and trotted all the way to the place where Li Xun and the others were. boxcar.

Seeing Cheng Xi and Lao Fan under the car, he greeted them attentively: "Uncle Fan, Brother Cheng, good morning."

Hou Yuchen is 27 this year and has only been a train driver for a year. He is eight years older than Cheng Xi, but he has a thick skin and calls his brother like a thief.

Cheng Xi smiled, nodded, and said nothing, Lao Fan turned around and said with a smile, "Xiao Hou, it's so early."

"Uncle Fan, I heard that you are all up, so I hurried over here."

"Well, your place was so lively last night, it's really rare that you can still be so early today."

Hou Yuchen's complexion changed, and he hurriedly said: "Uncle Fan, they came to me last night to ask what happened yesterday and how Lin Cheng was doing. I told them that Lin Cheng provoked trouble for no reason, and he was killed if he failed to rob. And thanks to you killing those monsters and saving everyone, I didn’t say anything else.”

"Oh, it's okay, don't be nervous, that's what I said." Lao Fan smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

Hou Yuchen breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a bitter face: "Uncle Fan, don't scare me, I'm timid, anyway, I'll follow you from now on, what's the plan for today? Just leave it to me."

"Don't worry, just wait, we'll go eat together later, and we'll talk after we finish eating."

"Okay, do you still have water here? Shall I get some bottles?" Hou Yuchen asked with a happy face, and then asked attentively.

"There's still water, but it's a bit cold. You can find a way to boil some hot water and take it to the restaurant." Lao Fan said casually.

"Okay, I'll go right away." Hou Yuchen ran away in a hurry.

"Ha, this buddy has a future." Cheng Xi smiled as he looked at his receding back.

"This kid is a smart guy. He has eyesight and can talk, and he does things well. He was not taken seriously by Lin Cheng's subordinates before. When we meet him this time, we must hold our thighs tightly. He is easy to use, and he can drive a train." The old man Fan Dao.

"Understood, as a human being, you still have to have a thick skin and have a good skill."

Fifteen minutes later, when Li Xun and the others came to the restaurant, Hou Yuchen had already boiled water and made a pot of tea.

Lao Fan beckoned Zhao Qinghe and Zhang Ying to sit down, and the two sat at the same table again after a night, with subtle changes in their hearts.

Li Xun asked, "Do you all live near here?"

"No, we live in Huanghua City. We are colleagues before the end of the day. We work in a radio station. That day, we came to the new area to collect materials. It happened that people turned into zombies, so we hid in the cultural industry park on the west side of the new area. At that time, the four of us came to Yes, the other two turned into zombies." Zhao Qinghe said.

"Oh, then you are very lucky. Two of the four survived, and they all started evolution."

"Speaking of which, I am much luckier than others, but I am worried every day. There is a school near the industrial park, which is full of zombies. We were almost surrounded by zombies several times when we were looking for food. Later, two more The monster had no choice but to find a place to hide, and only dared to come out when the monster was gone, just happened to meet Lin Cheng, and joined the base." Talking about what happened in those few days, Zhao Qinghe also had lingering fears.

"When did the power go off here?"

"On the second night when I became a zombie, at about nine o'clock, I was talking on the phone with my family when the power suddenly cut off, and the phone had no signal early the next morning."

"Who else is in the family?"

"My mother didn't make it through, and my father is fine."

"Is everyone safe?"

"It's safe for the time being. He hid in the Meteorological Bureau. There is no shortage of food and drink there, and he can last at least a month."

"What about you?" Li Xun turned to ask Zhang Ying.

"There should be no one in my house, and the phone has been disconnected." Zhang Ying's face darkened.

Li Xun nodded.

At this time, Hou Yuchen came over with bowls and chopsticks. Behind them were two men holding stainless steel basins, one containing fried rice and the other containing noodles, and behind them was Yu Qingming, who brought a small basin of beef and a plate of mustard.

"Boss, Uncle Fan, everyone, please have dinner." Hou Yuchen set the table and chopsticks, nodded and bowed in a circle, and stood aside.

Li Xun pointed to the empty chair and said with a smile, "Sit down and eat together."

"Oh, thank you boss." Hou Yuchen hurriedly brought a pair of bowls and chopsticks and sat on the empty chair.

After everyone finished serving their meals, he filled a bowl of noodles and ate them very quickly.

"Xiaohou, do you work on the railway?" Li Xun asked after eating two bowls of noodles.

Hou Yuchen put down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "Yes, I'm at the Huanghua Locomotive Depot. I usually run the line at the port, which is the railway line to the north."

"Do you know what's going on around here?"

"I'm very familiar with Huanghuagang, and I don't come here much."

"You find someone who is familiar with this area, I have something to ask."

"Okay, boss."

Hou Yuchen got up, walked around among the people eating on the other side of the restaurant, and pulled a man in his 40s over.

"Boss, his name is Huang Yongcheng. He works as a maintenance worker in a locomotive maintenance company, just south of the station. He is very familiar with this area."

Huang Yongcheng nodded at Li Xun: "Boss, I have lived in the new district since I was a child. If you have anything to ask, just ask."

"Tell me first what factories are around this station."

"Okay, next to the station there is a steel plant, a hot rolling plant, a coking plant, a component plant, two material plants, and a chemical plant, to the south there is a thermal power plant, an oil refinery, and a seawater desalination plant, and to the east is near the pier There is also a thermal power plant over there, to the north are Zhongsheng Mining, the Kechuang Seawater Desalination Plant, and Xinhai Grain and Oil Company, and to the west are a crane factory, a container manufacturing factory, and two salt factories.”

Huang Yongcheng is very familiar with the surrounding factories.

"Well, you and Xiaohou will follow me later to see these factories."

After eating and drinking a cup of tea, Li Xun and Lao Fan got a car, and Huang Yongcheng led the way. They turned around and looked carefully at the distribution of various factories. It was noon when they returned to the station.

The five people met and finally decided to use this place as the base. The first phase of the construction goal first delineated a rectangular lot with a length of four kilometers from east to west and two kilometers from north to south, roughly between the two railway lines.

Everyone unanimously decided to name the first base "Dawn".
