#20 - Chapter 20 The Night is Coming
Some people asked, why not seize the time to wipe out all the zombies?
On the one hand, the public security issues have already consumed all the mobile forces; on the other hand, zombies are active at night and dormant during the day, making the search very difficult; furthermore, zombies are extremely difficult to "kill" unless their heads are completely destroyed, which also means that unless they have undergone special training, ordinary civilian teams cannot do this job.
Another 20 days passed in the blink of an eye.
Subsequently, several other districts in Binjiang City successively experienced large-scale zombie attacks, and the same tragedy was repeatedly staged. Within 20 days, two more districts had been completely occupied by zombies.
Out of desperation, after research and decision by the city's virus prevention and control team, six emergency shelters were established in Qinghe Ridge in Suirong County, Wudao Gou in Linshui County, Gao He Ba in Huaizhen County… and other 6 places in Binjiang City, and the masses were transferred. It is hoped that this method can completely block zombies and uninfected people.
There are many benefits to doing this. On the one hand, centralized management can save a lot of manpower, so that combat forces can be concentrated to eliminate zombies; on the other hand, it can block the geographical contact between zombies and people, preventing more people from being attacked and infected; on the other hand, it can improve the speed of resource allocation and supply…
This kind of emergency shelter is the predecessor of the human survival base in the future.
And Binjiang City has also become the first city in China to be occupied by zombies.
At the same time, nationwide, 60% of cities have experienced large-scale virus infections, and 95% of cities have been forced to impose martial law.
What is even more serious is that the national power grid has already begun to experience intermittent power outages.
The dark night is coming…
“Commander, the central hall has been built. Should we start building the experimental module?”
“Start it!”
“Okay, Commander.”
“Commander, the number of bee ants has reached 1500, meeting the basic conditions for building a geothermal power generation room. Should we start building the power generation room?”
“Start it.”
“Okay, please select the construction location of the power generation room, Commander.”
As Xiao Lin finished speaking, a three-dimensional image of the base appeared on the screen.
The base only has three underground floors, but in the three-dimensional image, the surroundings of each floor and below the third floor show that they can be expanded.
“Can the bee ant robots expand the base?” Dongfang Chen asked curiously.
“Yes, Commander. The first generation of bee ant robots is just a bit inefficient and bulky. But it already has most of the functions, including excavation, collection, construction, transformation, etc. You can think of it as an ant, but it has many advantages that ants do not have. For example, it can work 24 hours a day and does not need to hibernate in winter.”
“It’s amazing. I didn’t expect such a small robot to be able to accomplish so many things.” Dongfang Chen exclaimed.
“Actually, the ability of a single bee ant is very limited, almost negligible. But when thousands of bee ants gather together, they can complete unexpected tasks.” Xiao Lin explained.
“That’s true! Let’s choose the fourth underground floor.” Dongfang Chen said.
“Commander, the queen bee has not yet built a nest. Should we place the hive next to the power generation room?”
“What’s your suggestion?” Dongfang Chen didn’t have a good idea either. It would be right to listen to Xiao Lin’s suggestion in this regard.
“I suggest you place the hive on the fourth underground floor and the power generation room on the fifth underground floor. It is safer to isolate the power generation room from other areas.” Xiao Lin replied.
“Okay, let’s do as you say.” Dongfang Chen said.
“Okay, Commander.”
…
Second floor office area of the underground base.
Almost everyone in the base gathered here, and everyone was waiting anxiously for Dongfang Chen.
“Captain, what does the boss mean now? Should we leave?” Ruan Xinghua asked.
Brother Zhang did not answer.
“Now, we are the only people left in the entire West District. The power has been cut off three times today. Maybe in a few days, we will have a complete power outage. Once the base loses power, there will be no ventilation and lighting, and it will be really impossible to stay here.” Tong Li said.
Brother Zhang still didn’t say anything.
“There is also a problem. Although the supplies we have stored can last for a long time, we are still just sitting and eating. Once the supplies are used up, the only thing waiting for us is death!” A doctor said.
Everyone was talking at once, and they were all full of worries about the future.
“Don’t worry, Brother Dongfang will definitely have a solution!” Luo’er said unhappily.
Brother Shen Wengang quickly pulled his sister Luo’er, signaling her not to speak.
“What’s wrong? The atmosphere is very depressing!” Dongfang Chen walked over slowly, noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and said generously.
Everyone consciously made way, and Dongfang Chen walked to the middle.
No one spoke, and everyone looked at him quietly.
“Everyone, find a place to sit down. Let’s have a good chat today.”
Seeing the current situation, he knew that he had to unify his thoughts.
During this period of time, he had been avoiding it somewhat.
Because in his heart, he was not ready to bear this: the weight of life.
The future of everyone is pinned on him. This made him very uncomfortable.
However, he must bear it, even if he doesn’t want to. In order to survive himself, and to let those who follow him survive.
Hearing Dongfang Chen’s words, everyone consciously found a place to sit down.
“I know that everyone has been very anxious during this period of time. There is no one left in the West District, and the entire Binjiang City is estimated to be completely evacuated in the next two days. We have fallen into a completely isolated situation. But what I want to say is that this is just the beginning.”
Speaking of this, Dongfang Chen paused, looked at everyone, and continued:
“Soon, maybe half a year, maybe a year. Most of the cities in the country will become ghost towns.”
Everyone was shocked and suspicious, and everyone looked at each other.
“Don’t be surprised, don’t be suspicious, this is absolutely true.” Dongfang Chen said affirmatively.
“Boss, I think your point of view is too pessimistic. How many major epidemics have broken out from ancient times to the present, and which time has not humanity won? I think this time is no exception.” A doctor said.
“Do you think it was really humanity that won?” Dongfang Chen asked slyly, meaning think again.
“Isn’t it?” the doctor asked back.
“I don’t think so.” Dongfang Chen replied.
“Isn’t it?” The doctor was puzzled.
“Yes, it is not. I think that in the struggle between humans and viruses, in fact, in most cases, a symbiosis is eventually formed. Maybe we have found some way to resist the virus, but it only accelerates the end of the epidemic and reduces deaths. We are not the lucky ones. The collective wisdom built by the joint efforts and civilization of all mankind can only allow us to find a little bit of living space, and such space may not always exist. So the victory you mentioned, in my opinion, is just winning some living space.” Dongfang Chen said.
“What you are talking about is a bit far away. What we are most concerned about now is where to go?” Another doctor interrupted.
Dongfang Chen’s expression turned cold. He said:
“Let’s have a show of hands. If anyone wants to leave here and go to the emergency shelter, then I will allocate you some equipment and supplies and send you away. For those who want to stay here, I hope that everyone can unite as one and take care of each other from now on.”
“Let’s start. Please raise your hand if you want to stay.” Dongfang Chen said.
“Xiao Chen, does that mean we are not leaving?” Brother Zhang asked.
“Brother Zhang, I definitely won’t leave.” Dongfang Chen said.
“Okay, then I won’t leave either.” Brother Zhang raised his hand.
As Brother Zhang raised his hand, Brother Zhang’s comrades also raised their hands. Then, the family members also raised their hands.
Niu Xingwang’s wife was already familiar with everyone. And Niu Xingwang had told her before he left, don’t go anywhere, don’t trust anyone except Dongfang Chen. So Mrs. Niu also raised her hand.
Shen Miaoluo and Shen Wengang, the brother and sister, looked at each other after hearing that Dongfang Chen was not leaving, and also raised their hands.
Finally, there were the few doctors and nurses, and their opinions were not very unified.
