Chapter 703 Not Bad, I Found a Talent! [Long Chapter, Please Subscribe and Vote]

Night falls.

Guangzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

Several fires and vehicle lights illuminated an open space next to the warehouse.

Everyone holds their own rice bowl, which is filled with fragrant snake meat and snake soup, paired with the mixed steamed buns distributed to them in the base.

Lao Qin was sitting on a big rock on the ground while chatting with his third uncle:

"Captain, after review in the afternoon, the statistics of the steel here are now 13,000 tons. With our trucks, if the load is approved to be 30 tons, but no one is in charge now. These trucks are all loaded with 40 tons. Ten trucks, 400 tons. Including the truck pickups we found from the industrial park, they can probably carry 150 tons, so we will be able to bring back 550 tons of steel this time, and we will probably have to transport it many times."

The third uncle nodded, took a sip of the snake soup in the bowl and said:

"It's okay. We originally came here as a front stop. There are still some heavy trucks in the base. We'll look around tomorrow morning to see if there are any trucks with a larger loading capacity. Try to pull as much steel back as possible."

Lao Qin pondered for a long time and asked: "Then should we leave some people here to guard these steel materials? After all, there are several forces following us on the road."

The third uncle shook his head and said: "No, they don't know about this steel factory. What they want is food. Steel is not that important to them. If they wanted it, they would have moved away long ago."

Lao Qin thought for a while and felt that what his third uncle said made sense, so he concentrated on the snake soup in his hand. This snake soup had to be drunk while it was hot, otherwise it would become fishy when it was cold.

The third uncle looked at the door, then waved Guo Peng over and asked him to send some to Gongsun Jing and others who were on duty at the door.

Tonight's duty schedule is still the same as before, and we are still vigilant.

Lao Qin was on duty in the first half of the night, and it happened that three people could sleep in the armored RV.

So we let the ants rest together in the RV. That night, the ants slept peacefully and deeply.

Quiet in the evening.

But as the light was swallowed up by darkness, the roars of zombies sounded around the steel plant.

Some sounds are far away and some are close.

The iron door at the door was re-welded, and a simple baffle was made using steel from the steel factory to seal the door.

They don't have to go out at night. They can just cut it open when they leave tomorrow.

On a building less than five kilometers away from them, those who appeared during the day took shelter here.

"Where did they come from, and what did they want to do here?"

"Have your car repaired as soon as possible tomorrow. It's true that you can hit a concrete pile with your car. I'm really unlucky to be out here with you."

"Ahem, didn't you say you have to hurry up?"

"Stop talking, the car must be repaired tomorrow. Let's go back quickly. Crow Crow and the others leave them alone. We just go back and report to Brother Dong. I don't want to have any contact with those fierce people."

"Yeah, I think so too."

As the conversation ended, the roaring sounds of the surrounding zombies became more obvious.

In the steel factory.

In the middle of the night, many zombies were attracted outside the gate.

There are thousands of them, constantly rushing against the big iron gate.

Upon seeing this, Lao Qin, who was on duty, quickly asked Zhu Xiao, who was also on duty, to drive a truck over and hold up the iron door.

Looking at the shaky iron gate hit by zombies, Lao Qin put his rifle behind him, took out his crossbow, and shot at the zombie at the front.

At night, you can not use a gun, but it is best not to use a gun.

Even if a silencer is installed, there is still sound. Once more zombies are attracted, the trouble will be even greater.

As the crossbow fired, the zombies under the gate fell down.

Zhu Xiao quickly drove the truck over, and even though he was careful, he still made some noise.

The zombies outside the gate became even more agitated when they heard the sound, and they rushed against the iron gate with all their strength.

The iron gate was crumbling due to the impact. After two years of wind and rain, this large iron gate was still not very useful even though it had been strengthened during the day.

Swish swish——

Lao Qin kept shooting at the zombies, and several other people around him also used extended spears to stab the zombies below.

Even though I have fought zombies countless times, I still feel a little nervous every time I encounter them.

Just as the iron gate was about to be knocked down, the truck was still adjusting its direction.

"Quick, the big iron gate can't hold anymore." Lao Qin shouted to Zhu Xiao who was driving behind him.

Zhu Xiao didn't care about anything else, turned the steering wheel to the full left, and then reversed against the wall.

Kakaka——

The car was against the wall, making some noise.

White marks were scratched on the truck's body, and large pieces of debris fell off the fence.

boom!

The truck pressed against the iron gate, sealing the large iron gate.

The three fixed iron bolts of the large iron gate collapsed outward due to the impact of the truck.

The big iron door and the steel plates welded on it during the day collapsed straight onto the zombies outside.

This door wouldn't be too heavy if it wasn't reinforced by welding.

But in the afternoon, a layer of steel plate was welded, and the weight reached one ton.

The one-ton iron door fell on the zombies, pinning a dozen zombies near the door underneath.

"Okay." When Lao Qin saw this, his face lit up with joy.

Zhu Xiao got out from the right side of the car, then climbed onto the roof and looked at the zombies outside.

Thousands of zombies filled the small square outside the steel plant.

"It's okay, these beasts can't push the truck, you get off. Be careful." Lao Qin said to Zhu Xiao.

With the big truck blocking the way and no rain recently, these zombies are not very sensitive and can't climb up and pile up, so this kind of protection is enough.

It's just that someone should be alert here at any time to prevent zombies from getting in through the gaps.

Time just flows slowly.

After Lao Qin was on duty for half the night, the third uncle came to replace him.

When the third uncle woke up, he saw that Ant was sleeping soundly, so he got up on tiptoe without waking him up.

The night passed.

It was not a peaceful night, but nothing big happened.

When the sun rose in the daytime, the zombies outside the big iron gate left and returned to some dark and damp corners.

But the zombies that were pressed by the gate were still alive, and Uncle San and others did not lift the big iron gate again.

Instead, they just ran over it and left.

They had loaded the steel on the car yesterday, so they could just leave when the sun came out today.

As heavy trucks weighing dozens of tons ran over the iron gate, the zombies that were not dead under the iron gate were now crushed into meat paste, deader than dead.

The weather was good today, with fish scales in the sky, and the weather should be good for the next two days.

Lao Qin drove the RV at the front of the convoy, followed by Zhu Xiao and others, as well as several RVs and trucks seized from the industrial park, which were also taken away.

Unfortunately, not much gasoline and diesel were found in the industrial park, so they could only get some from their fuel tanks.

Uncle San sat in the car, looking at the rearview mirror, but he was thinking about one thing in his mind.

Energy.

Every time you lie out, you need a lot of diesel. Generally, the shelf life of unopened diesel is only 4 years, and the shelf life after opening is even shorter.

Once these diesels are used up or expire, it will be very troublesome for them to go outside.

Although there are some new energy electric vehicles now, most of these new energy vehicles are SUVs or sedans and cannot transport goods.

"Maybe Xiaoyu has already planned it." Uncle San squinted his eyes, remembering that Li Yu had asked many cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel to include some electric vehicle accessories and other things in the exchange list, especially some batteries and equipment of Gan Lithium Industry, the leader of lithium batteries before the end of the world.

But so far, there are no talents in the electric vehicle related industry in the base.

You know, the structure of an electric vehicle is much simpler than that of a fuel vehicle.

The most important thing for an electric vehicle is the battery, and the others are relatively simple.

Before the end of the world, the development of electric vehicles was restricted by the development of batteries.

In the big camphor tree base.

Li Yu was in the second outer city, in a residential building, looking at the zombies that were still moving.

It's funny to say that before the end of the world, humans have been looking for energy that will never run out, but after the end of the world, Zhou Ran's idea that he accidentally said has come true.

Li Yu was very excited. With a constant supply of electricity, the Dazhangshu Base would be invincible.

As far as he knew, in the apocalypse before his rebirth, no one had thought of using zombies to generate electricity.

In fact, the various forces did not have this ability. Under several natural disasters and man-made disasters, the large bases collapsed, and the small forces struggled on the brink of death. They thought about being full every day, so how could they have any free time to think about other messy things.

If they can't even eat enough, what's the future?

In the apocalypse before rebirth, human beings almost entered the cold weapon era five years later.

Dazhang Base was many steps ahead of other forces.

One step faster, and the future will always be surpassed.

This is a virgin land that no one has ever set foot on. Perhaps the future is here.

Li Yu was a little excited as he thought about it, but he was also a little miserable.

Talent! Talent!

So far, talents in this area are still in short supply.

Although there is Li Hang, a half-baked water, and He Bing, a modification expert, they are not enough.

There are also people like Lao Zhou who came from the lathe factory. Although they know something, they are not battery experts.

He wants a battery expert, or even a team.

Solving the battery problem will solve the storage problem, and it can be extended to other directions based on this.

The future is unimaginable.

Li Yu turned his head and said to He Chao next to him: "Did you find the power system expert I asked you to find among the cooperative staff and non-staff last time?"

He Chao smiled bitterly and said: "I asked around, Zuo Ruxue said that before she joined the big camphor tree base, she knew an expert in this area, but was bitten to death by zombies later."

"That is, there is no one?" Li Yu frowned and asked.

He didn't believe that he couldn't find a single one among the more than a thousand people.

He Chao hesitated and said: "There is an electric car company that has participated in the research of the three-electric system engineer."

Li Yu heard the words and became interested and asked: "Where is he now."

He Chao said: "He is still on the construction site, working there, I can call him over at any time."

Li Yu thought for a while, walked out of the zombie generator room, closed the door, and said, "Don't call him for now. Can you introduce this person's background? Which team does he belong to?"

He Chao followed Li Yu behind and said, "This person's name is Zhang San."

When Li Yu heard the name, he immediately turned his head and glanced at He Chao.

He Chao said with some embarrassment: "I have done some research and it should be his real name. This name is a bit random."

"Continue." Li Yu said calmly.

He Chao continued: "He is in the cooperative team, Sha Wenji's team. He is 39 years old. He now has a 13-year-old daughter and has no other relatives. According to Sha Wenji, his father died six months ago. He was bitten to death by a zombie."

"In addition, I heard from their captain that this Shavinji is quite nice and has a good relationship with other people in the team, so everyone takes good care of their father and daughter."

Li Yu listened carefully and led He Chao to the wall.

He Chao pointed to a man tanned by the sun on the construction site and said to Li Yu, "That's him."

Li Yu looked around and saw that this man's muscles did not look like an intellectual's weakness.

This is the case in the apocalypse. No matter how powerful you are before the apocalypse, if you don't have enough strength after the apocalypse and don't know how to adapt, it will be difficult to survive in the apocalypse.

This man was carrying a heavy formwork and pulling it under the foundation of the wall. Not far from him, there was a little girl tying steel bars there.

He Chao pointed to the little girl and said, "That is his daughter, Zhang Yuan."

Li Yu looked at Zhang San, carrying the template, and slowly walked from the dug steps to the foundation.

He opened his mouth and said to He Chao: "Now, go down and do your work first."

He Chao nodded and walked downstairs.

Li Yu watched Zhang San disappear in the foundation, thoughtfully.

After He Chao went down, Li Yu came to the duty room to find his second uncle.

I happened to find that my uncle was also here.

So he said to the two of them: "Second uncle, uncle, I think the time is ripe now. He Chao just told me that he found an engineer for the three power systems. I think we can start to gradually establish the electric power research institute."

After hearing what Li Yu said, the second uncle raised his head and said to Li Yu: "Is it a non-staff member or a cooperative staff?"

"The cooperating staff is outside now. Although his ability is probably not enough, I think it can be established first."

The second uncle pondered for a while, nodded and said: "Well, the emergence of zombie generators is of great importance. There is currently a surplus of electricity production, which is too wasteful. If we can research something based on this unlimited electricity, It will be of great benefit to the base.”

The uncle also said: "Since there is such a person, should we use the method of attracting special talents? It is better to be more prudent and let him accumulate his contribution. After the contribution reaches a certain level, he can be recruited."

"This is a problem. After all, he is just a collaborator. He has not been in contact with our Zhangshu base for a long time, right? Which team is he in?" asked the second uncle.

He often interacts with non-staff members and collaborators, and he remembers the leaders of each team.

Li Yu said: "I have some impression of Sha Wenji's group in Sha Wenji's team. They should have been cooperating with us for half a year."

The second uncle squinted his eyes and recalled, then he took out a book, searched it, nodded and said: "I have an impression of Sha Wenji. Their team has more than fifty points, and they are not far away from becoming a non-staff member." , Sha Wenji, although he looks fierce and bald, he is quite generous. Every time I exchange food for him, he shares it equally. "

Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said to his second uncle and his two uncles: "I want to recruit him specially. What do you think?"

The second uncle saw the hesitant expression on Li Yu's face and said: "Anyway, it will take time to build the third outer city. Why not inspect him and let him be responsible for the power aspect of building the third outer city to see if he has two skills?" "Bring the brush."

The uncle also said: "I agree with your second uncle's idea. Although there is a shortage of talents, we can't lose the rhythm. After all, we don't know him well enough and rashly absorb him. Where should he stay? Moreover, if he is He performed well when building the Third Outer City, and it seems very reasonable for us to bring him in! ”

When Li Yu heard both of them saying this, he gave up the idea of ​​asking him to come up immediately.

The second uncle and the eldest uncle are right. We still need to see if this person has real abilities. Otherwise, if we drag him in and find out that he is just a false person, what will we do then and drive him out? killed?

Not quite right.

So Li Yu said to the two of them: "Okay, let's observe him again. In addition, I will talk to Ding Jiu and let him make arrangements."

Both the second uncle and the eldest uncle said there was no problem.

After communicating with the two of them, Li Yu left the duty room.

He felt a little emotional. Sure enough, it would be beneficial to discuss it with his second uncle and the others.

I am only one person and cannot consider all aspects. At this time, I need someone to communicate and discuss with me.

So he took out the walkie-talkie and explained the matter to Ding Jiu and He Chao.

He stood on the wall and watched as He Chao and Ding Jiu found Zhang San and told him about the Third Outer City and asked him to be in charge of the power part.

Li Yu was on the wall and clearly saw that Zhang San was still a little confused when he heard the news, but soon a happy expression appeared on his face.

The other team members next to Zhang San came over to congratulate him.

Although Ding Jiu and He Chao did not mention the reward, Zhang San and the others knew that the Dazhangshu Base had always acted fairly. If he was in charge of the power supply of the third outer city, he would definitely not be treated unfairly.

Li Yu sat at the door of the duty room on the west wall, drinking water and observing Zhang San carefully.

Zhang San paused for a few minutes after receiving the task.

He immediately found Ding Jiu, talked to him for a few minutes, and then left, watching the transport vehicle for a long time.

"Mr. Li, Zhang San wants rollers, steel wires, electric motors, power batteries, and electronic control systems. Then he wants six batteries." Ding Jiu's voice came.

Li Yu was a little confused about what this guy was going to do.

So he said: "Okay, I'll send someone to deliver it later. In addition, if he needs any help, you can help him."

Three hours later

Li Yu looked at him in surprise, and made a cage welded with steel plates into a lift commonly used in construction sites.

You should know that the wall of the third outer city has a foundation of more than ten meters high.

Now they are still using a pulley lift, which is not very stable and requires manpower.

But what Zhang San did saves manpower greatly.

Li Yu smiled, "Not bad, he is a talent."
