Chapter 419: Grain Storage Barn
North of the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Provincial City, dozens of kilometers away, in the suburbs.
A prison.
Rumbling~
Amidst a fierce roaring sound, suddenly a convoy appeared.
Bang~
The vehicle at the front brutally crushed the standing zombies mercilessly.
Like crushing watermelons.
Splat~
The zombies were directly crushed by the car, their juices splattering everywhere.
Thud~
A man inside the vehicle threw another person out.
This man's body was covered in bruises, and he looked resentfully at the people inside the car.
"Boss, I don't know if what he said is true, they say that the Government, many years ago,
built a large underground granary around Gan City.
I think he's lying." A voice from inside the car with a sharp tone said.
Black Snake swallowed his saliva, the tattoo of a black snake on his neck seemed to wriggle, looking particularly ferocious.
Black Snake's voice was deep, like a bass cannon, with a thick magnetism, he murmured, "It's all rumors, I've heard about it before too. Many people know this.
But, no one knows the exact location.
This man was once part of the officialdom in the Provincial City before the apocalypse, he knows a bit. Maybe there really is a granary in the south."
The minion next to him, upon hearing this, instantly lit up and said, "If it's really as the rumors say, that granary must be incredibly large.
Speaking of which, if the granary is really that big, it's definitely not likely to be built above ground, it must be underground; otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago.
Besides, boss, do you still remember Old Wang and the others? I remember they fled south. Do you think they went to look for the granary?"
Black Snake's eyes flashed coldly.
Thinking of that Old Wang, he couldn't help but touch his own left eye.
Back then, in a fight, Old Wang had injured his left eye, and in the apocalyptic environment, there was no good treatment available at that critical time, and now his vision is ruined in that eye.
Black Snake had wrapped his left eye with a black cloth.
His throat bobbed as if a snake's tongue was flicking out.
He suppressed his rage and said in a low tone, "Are you full with nothing better to do? Why bring him up? If I catch him, I'll crush every bone in his body."
"Big brother, what about this man?" The minion beside him pointed at the man who had been thrown down by Black Snake.
Black Snake looked at the man and said, "Ask him again, see if you can get some useful information from his mouth using your methods. If he's no longer useful, just throw him to the dogs."
Having said that, he turned away.
He got off the vehicle and walked to the entrance of the prison.
The people inside the prison had already seen the boss returning, and obediently opened the large gate.
...
The Big Camphor Tree Base.
The gates of the Outer City were open, and at this moment, hundreds of people were continuously coming out from the inside of the Outer City.
Although Li Yu did not directly provide food to them, the outside was full of zombies. In such a dangerous time, letting them in was also a way to protect them.
Therefore, some people were still very grateful, and from afar, they bowed to Li Yu on the wall.
Li Yu watched them, waved his hand to show it was no big deal.
Right now, he only cared about one thing, to rapidly implement bullet reloading and production of ammunition.
Inside the base.
Wang Cheng and his team resumed construction of the gymnasium, an endeavor that had been in progress for a long time.
It's not really their fault, as the gymnasium was lower priority, and each time something else came up, the construction of the gymnasium was temporarily halted.
Last time, it was also due to the expansion of the surrounding wall that construction was paused.
Now, Li Yu had called a stop to Wang Cheng and his team's work.
Since entering the base, these workers have been very obedient to Li Yu and had been constantly engaged in construction work for the base.
Before Ding Jiu got injured, it was he who led them in these construction efforts.
Li Yu approached Wang Cheng and his team, saying, "It seems like the gymnasium construction will have to be put on hold again.
Currently, the area outside the base is covered with zombie bodies. We need to deal with these first. It just stopped raining, and the sun exposure could easily cause an epidemic.
Once these bodies are taken care of, according to this year's plan, we'll dig a trench surrounding the base.
This trench should be easy to dig since we still have several excavators and, if necessary, we can also use the giant loader that's being modified."
Wang Cheng had no complaints whatsoever. He was provided with food and drink by Li Yu, having a stable and safe day in this post-apocalyptic world was already quite remarkable.
Wang Cheng then said, "Director Li, we might not have enough manpower; could you assign some more people to us?"
Li Yu thought for a moment and called over Han Qi, Li Zhengping, and some subordinates including Lao Lu.
"You guys, deal with the zombie bodies outside the base first, and then get the trench ready. Lao Xie, you oversee this. You and Lao Wang, take care of this together. Any questions?" Li Yu instructed.
Lao Xie looked at Wang Cheng, nodded without hesitation, and responded, "No problem."
Lao Wang added, "Okay, I'll bring over the excavator right away."
Li Yu waved his hand, signaling them to go and get started.
To them, this task was routine; every after a Zombie Tide, many zombie bodies would be left behind.
Many of these zombie bodies were scooped up by Li Yu and his team using bulldozers, truck by truck, transported several kilometers away from the base for burial.
There were also several naturally formed pits in the vicinity after the apocalypse where Li Yu would dispose of these zombie bodies.
Pouring gasoline over them, they ignited the bodies.
...
In two places unseen by Li Yu and his cohorts.
Northern Prison.
A man with a shrill voice found Black Snake, the one-eyed boss, and reported the results of the interrogation they had conducted.
No concrete results, another vague address.
This made Black Snake, the one-eyed boss, quite angry.
He wasn't afraid of zombies, he feared nothing, not even starvation.
However, he no longer wanted to resort to cannibalism.
Thus, he was eager to find that legendary granary.
In the legends.
"Listen, tell the brothers later, tomorrow, we'll head south to see if we can find the granary.
Didn't that government man say it? It's near the center of Gan City.
Let's go and check."
The deep voice echoed in the dark room.
"Alright, boss," the man with the shrill voice echoed.
...
Further south, near Xin City.
"Captain, did we get the wrong place?"
The captain frowned and responded, "This is the 23rd place we've checked, according to reliable information, it's said to be near the county near Gan City.
We've looked around Gan City and nearby counties already. We haven't found the building similar to the one in the photos.
However, the information from Lao Ye can't be wrong; it must be around here."
