Chapter 83: Big Construction

Shashi, the capital of Xiangnan Province, had a population of more than 8 million before the doomsday. Due to the outbreak of the zombie virus, more than 6 million people became zombies. Later, more than 1 million people died one after another for other reasons, and finally there were less than 1 million people left.

More than 1 million people are distributed in dozens of large and small bases throughout the city, and there are 10 official bases.

The largest official base is located in the center of the city where the provincial government is located. There are more than 800,000 survivors here, plus more than 50,000 troops. The entire base is surrounded by high walls, and many heavy weapons of the Xiangnan Military Region have been moved to the base. It can be said that the entire base is still very safe.

Due to the crisis of an asteroid impact on the earth, Shashi has to receive more than 1 million survivors from Yangcheng City, Guangnan Province. The influx of so many people at once can be said to be a test of the management ability of Shashi management.

With a large population, many problems will arise, management will be chaotic, and there will be robbery, murder, and strong men taking advantage of the chaos. The base has launched a set of heavy punches and killed a large number of rioters. This time, this trend was curbed.

After a period of management chaos, with the merger and running-in of the two provincial government agencies, the management level quickly got back on track. This is the institutional advantage of the Xia government.

Now the entire Shashi base has become a super-large construction site. Basically, people who can still move are working. Only those who work can receive food compensation. This is an alternative work-for-relief.

Of course, everyone is working for their own future security. If the underground base is not built before the impact, then basic security cannot be guaranteed. Are we all waiting to die together? No one is willing to sacrifice their lives.

The major official bases in Shashi were originally built on important government buildings or institutions. There is also a civil defense system from the last century underground. As long as it is reopened and renovated, it can be used.

Moreover, the underground of the major bases is connected together through the subway network. It is completely possible to use the major bases and the civil defense system as the fulcrum and the subway line as the network connection to form a huge underground base. ✸

This is also the most important idea for the major cities of Xiaguo to build underground bases. Of course, third- and fourth-tier cities do not have subways. They have to dig new underground passages to connect the major bases, and these projects will be much larger.

The most important thing about building underground bases is to dig out rooms for millions of people to live in. Referring to the cave dwellings in the western region, it has become the first choice for major bases.

The Shashi underground base is designed to be four-story, based on the four subway lines. Considering the load-bearing problem, the excavated space at the bottom is the largest, and it gets smaller and smaller as it goes up, that is, the bottom floor can accommodate the largest population, and various government agencies are also set up on the fourth floor.

When Tang Ming's train passed the Shashi Railway Station checkpoint, the train conductor contacted the train station's communicator, and then the staff boarded the train to check and found that there was no problem and let it go.

The inspection is mainly to prevent people who have been bitten by zombies from sneaking in. You must know that there are more than two million people in the base now. If a zombie sneaks in accidentally, it will be a lot of fun.

The most terrifying thing about zombies is that they are highly contagious. If they are not careful, a zombie may lead to the destruction of the entire base. This is not without lessons, so the inspection system of the base is very strict now.

After the train passed the checkpoint, it soon stopped at Platform 1 of the railway station.

Tang Ming and Han Mei each got off the train with their own troops. The two teams carried out a mission together and communicated on the train, unlike those days in Kyoto when they did not say a few words.

Of course, at that time, one was that the two were not familiar with each other, and the other was that Han Mei's personality had always been relatively cold. Now the two may be in the same military region in the future, and they will be comrades in the future. It is still necessary to communicate and understand each other.

After lining up, Tang Ming had already seen Hou Wentao coming over, and he asked the deputy captain to take the team out of the station.

"Monkey, why are you so idle, don't you have a mission?"

The two met again and hugged each other heavily. Tang Ming patted Hou Wentao on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"I just came back from a mission, and I knew you would come, so I came to pick you up."

Hou Wentao didn't expect that the two of them had just separated for a short time, and now they met again, and they would stay in the same military region in the future. He received a rumor that the two teams might be merged into a special forces.

Of course, there is no need to tell Tang Ming about this, they are all soldiers, and they just need to obey orders at that time.

"Brother Tang, you have a wife, take it easy."

Hou Wentao glanced at Han Mei's back and joked with Tang Ming.

"Dead monkey, don't joke, or I will be beaten to death by your sister-in-law."

Tang Ming is extremely loyal to his wife. Although Han Mei is very beautiful and has a good figure, he really has no idea about her. He has tracheitis.

"Okay, no more jokes, you have to hand in the mission, and come to my house to get together in the evening."

"Okay, I'll go to hand in the mission first."

After the two agreed on a time to meet in the evening, they separated outside the train station.

Hou Wentao is also very busy. In addition to going on missions, his troops also have to do some work in the base.

Now there is no idle person in the entire base. Everyone is doing their part to build the underground base before the asteroid hits the earth.

This is our home for common survival, and no one will take chances.

Tang Ming saw that the pedestrians on the road were all wearing work clothes. No one was lazy and they were all working seriously.

The entire base is full of construction sites, with vehicles transporting equipment or construction materials. The most common ones are dump trucks, as well as various pile drivers and various machines and equipment that Tang Ming has never seen before.

Tang Ming quickly arrived at the military region office building and asked the troops to go to the station for repairs. He and Han Mei came to the military region chief's office together.

"Report, Wolf Warrior Tang Ming is here to report."

"Report, Fire Phoenix Han Mei is here to report."

"Come in."

After the two entered, they saw the head of the military region sitting behind the desk. He was also the original head of the Yangcheng Military Region. After the merger with the Southern Hunan Military Region, he became the head of the military region. He could also be said to be Tang Ming's old superior.

"Here you are, sit down and talk."

"Thank you, chief." 2

After the three of them sat down on their respective chairs, Tang Ming and Han Mei sat upright, waiting for the leader's instructions.

"Don't be so nervous. Nothing happened to you on the way?"

The head of the military region said with a smile.

"No."

Tang Ming saw that Han Mei didn't respond, so he took over the words himself.

"Thank you for your hard work. Let's rest today. There will be many tasks for you to complete starting tomorrow."

“It’s not hard work, it’s guaranteed to complete the task.”

"Tang Ming, you go and rest first. Han Mei will stay for a while. I have something to talk to you about."

"OK."

After Tang Ming left, the military commander looked at his old friend's daughter and knew that her personality had been like this since she was a child, but he didn't expect that there was still no change after more than ten years.

"Han Mei, your father and I are old comrades in arms. Your father called and asked you to go back to the mountain city. Do you want to go back?"

Han Mei knew as soon as she heard that her father wanted her to go back to him, but she didn't want to go back like this. If she went back, with her father's relationship, she might have to stay in the base in the future and do some dangerous missions. There won't be any.

How can they be willing to train hard, and most of the people in the Fire Phoenix team are orphans. It doesn't matter even if they don't go back to the mountain city, they can just stay here in Shonan. At least they, Fire Phoenix, can go on missions.

"Chief, I don't want to go back."

The commander looked at Han Mei's firm expression and knew what the other party meant, so he had no choice but to apologize to his old friend. After all, there are not too many soldiers in all major military regions, let alone special forces like Fire Phoenix.

"Okay, I know what you mean. You can go out first and I will tell your father."

"Thank you, chief."
