The first update of 2014. I wish everyone a happy new year and good health! ? ****** Another hour passed, and the list was finally finalized. Sometimes Li Mingfeng couldn't help but feel lucky that there were only so many people in the base. If there were more, he didn't know if he could hold on. Gaining power and assuming responsibility are always two completely opposite concepts. Although sometimes the results obtained by the two may seem very similar, the different starting points make people with different ideas pay completely different prices. For Li Mingfeng, he hopes to be responsible for the two thousand people in the base. This starting point makes him feel exhausted. Fortunately, there is Lin Chuan, a tireless superpower who is more willing to take responsibility, in the base. Otherwise, Li Mingfeng really doesn¡¯t know how he should unite this group of people. "Brother Li, is the meeting over?" He heard Lin Chuan's voice just as he walked into his room, so he nodded, then sighed and handed Lin Chuan the list. In order to set an example, this room also served as his and Lin Chuan's bedroom, and also served as an office and data room. This made the space extremely small. Sitting in it and working would always make Li Mingfeng's mood gradually turn bad. . The only advantage of doing this is that no one can trouble them because their private space is occupied. The two top leaders of the base are squeezed into such a small space. What other opinions do you have? It was difficult for Li Mingfeng to understand Lin Chuan's behavior of being the first to do everything, but when he had no choice but to stand in the same trench with Lin Chuan, he found that this was also a very powerful means of rebuttal. Especially when you are completely unable to convince others, as long as you can endure such sacrifices, no one can blame you. "Zeng Yu broke Liu Bin's nose." He sat on the bed and said to Lin Chuan. "Although Liu Bin hit him with something first, he obviously went too far." Lin Chuan was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I will talk to him and ask him to restrain himself." Li Mingfeng shook his head, like this The warning would be of little use to someone as shameless as Zeng Yu. But neither he nor Lin Chuan could really deal with him. Everyone knew that Zeng Yu was Lin Chuan's best friend. He would first carry out every Lin Chuan's order and then understand it. There were many fights over this. If they punish Liu Bin for the reason of fighting with him, people who are hostile to them will applaud and secretly laugh at their stupidity, while those who support them will feel chilled and slowly become alienated. When they seize the management rights of the base as latecomers and control various departments with people they trust, this situation begins to trouble them, but they have never been able to find a good solution. "You'd better talk to Liu Bin and comfort him. I hope this incident will not have any impact on the newcomers." Li Mingfeng said helplessly. "I decided to let them separate those who made the most noise, and they might start to move after a while. Anyway, it will create a gap. If they are separated, at least they will not end up in the hospital or kill anyone." Lin Chuanmomo He nodded, indicating that he had no objection to this, and then began to look down at the list in his hand. At the same time, he spread out a map that was densely marked with various characters to look at it. After countless outings, he already has an understanding of the distribution of most supplies nearby. The government's approach of collecting all supplies when a disaster occurred caused many people to lose their last chance of survival after the city fell. But for Lin Chuan and others, it meant that many things did not need to be searched for bit by bit, and they could go directly to the city. Just look for it in various warehouses at that time. The only problem was the monsters gathering in the warehouse area, which forced Lin Chuan to pick them up bit by bit, which was very inefficient. "What's going on outside?" Li Mingfeng took a sip of boiled water and asked Lin Chuan. "It's still cold, but it's warmer than yesterday." Lin Chuan replied. "Chongzhou Island is still resisting. The water level in the river is getting lower and lower. They may not be able to survive." Li Mingfeng lowered his head silently and did not speak. Since the end of the world, there has always been one bad news after another. Under the guidance of Wang Qinian, Lin Chuan pulled an antenna from the ground to the base, which allowed them to finally receive the Voice of China from the Central Broadcasting Station. For many people, this gave them hope for the future. What concerns them most is the news about Chongzhou Island, which is the closest human refuge they know to them. The island should still be in contact with the central government. Things about Chongzhou Island are mentioned on the radio from time to time. As the largest surviving refuge in East China, Voice of China often introduces their situation.??, encouraging them to overcome difficulties and persevere. In the process, Lin Chuan and the others gradually became familiar with the situation on Chongzhou Island. Nearly four million people have now gathered on the island, and more than 70% of them are refugees who fled after the fall of Jianghai. This has brought huge survival pressure to Chongzhou County. Fortunately, Chongzhou was originally a grain-producing area near Jianghai. After harvesting some grain in the autumn, it was still barely able to maintain the survival of the refugees. They knew that there were seventeenth divisions on Chongzhou Island that had retreated from Jianghai and an armed police force that originally belonged to Chongzhou Island. Together with the scattered soldiers who escaped and the original militia of Chongzhou Island, nearly 100,000 people were defending nearly 100,000 people. Two hundred kilometers of coast, but their chances of survival are no better than here. The Yangtze River should have been the best defensive position. According to ordinary people's thinking, its huge water flow should be able to wash away any monsters who dare to wade to Chongzhou Island. But in fact, Chongzhou Island is surrounded by silted sandbars to the north, and it is 100 meters away. The nearest point in the north is less than two kilometers, and the deepest point is less than two meters. As a child who grew up by the river, Lin Chuan knew very well that the water level of the Yangtze River would drop to an unimaginable level during the dry season. At that time, many sandbanks in the center of the river would emerge from the water, and monsters would attack Chongzhou. Island springboard. Even in the main waterway of the Yangtze River on the south bank, the flow of the river begins to slow down here. Both sides of the Yangtze River were still crowded with all kinds of monsters. Lin Chuan saw huge monsters wading towards Chongzhou Island more than once. Their heads and backs were exposed on the water, and they moved forward staggeringly. It's like going up one barge after another. The hungry small monsters followed behind them, some were washed away by the river, while others swam forward slowly. Huge mutant whales occasionally appear on the waterway, but their size is too huge to swim freely in the Yangtze River. The shelling on the island became more and more frequent, but there was no longer a majestic covering bombardment. Instead, there were targeted shots one after another. This let Lin Chuan know that they had fallen into a dilemma of insufficient ammunition. "There is an industrial park on Chongzhou Island, which should be able to produce artillery shells." Li Mingfeng comforted Lin Chuan, but they all knew that military production cannot be completed by one or several production lines. Without strong technical support and raw materials, they would not be able to Complete the transformation from civilian industry to military industry in a short period of time. But the broadcasts that can be heard in the base will never have these problems. In the eyes of many residents, finding an opportunity to take refuge on Chongzhou Island will be their best way out. "Perhaps we can go to the Zhoushan Islands." Lin Chuan discussed the way out of the base with Li Mingfeng more than once. They had never considered the closer Chongzhou Island. In Lin Chuan's view, the Zhoushan Islands further away from the mainland should be Better choice. From the radio, they knew that nearly four divisions of troops had retreated to Zhoushan, but the population that retreated there was much smaller than that of Chongzhou, which may mean that food will be more abundant. It was further away from the land, and except for those mutant bats, there were almost no monsters that could threaten them. "I can take three people at a time, four times a day." Lin Chuan imagined the retreat plan this way. It was mentioned on the radio that both the East China Sea Cross-sea Bridge and the Zhoushan Cross-sea Bridge had been blown up. Lin Chuan once scouted the Donghai Cross-sea Bridge closest to them, and the distance between the two broken bridge decks reached nearly 150 meters. Ten meters, this distance may ensure that no monster can cross it, and it also requires Lin Chuan to use all his strength to jump over. He can lead people over, but the prerequisite for doing so is that there should be no monsters interfering with the broken bridge. Taking one person over each time is already Lin Chuan's limit. He cannot do this while ensuring the safety of the people staying on this side. . Li Mingfeng rejected this plan. This plan was full of risks and took too long. Who can leave first and who should leave last? How to ensure that those who stay will not break out in internal strife? How to ensure that those who stay have enough resources? Supplies are all a problem. Compared with such a plan, Li Mingfeng is more willing to continue to implement Leng Suan's previous plan. Quietly expand the area of ??the base, promote waterless cultivation, open a safe passage to the ground, strengthen the passage entrance, and use the building to grow food. Even if they cannot eat the food they grow in a short period of time, the war food that was originally stored in various warehouses for millions of people will be enough for these two thousand people to survive for a long time. In Li Mingfeng¡¯s vision, because of Lin Chuan¡¯s presence, they could slowly complete these tasks in one to two years, and it would not be too late to start growing food after a few years. "This is the safest and most secure solution." He said to Lin Chuan more than once. "Everyone can survive." "Maybe." Lin Chuan always answered calmly. Lin Chuan¡¯s plan canIt is enough to gradually transfer the responsibilities. Every time someone is sent away, it means that one of the responsibilities on Lin Chuan's shoulders is reduced. The whole process may be long, but one day it will eventually pass. Li Mingfeng's plan means that more materials and a lot of labor are needed. Obviously, Lin Chuan will have to take on most of the work. Even if everything is completed according to their expectations, Lin Chuan will have to Continue to be responsible for the safety of the entire base. If this is a harmonious atmosphere, unity and cooperation base, he may be able to persist. But the fact is that the atmosphere in the base no longer allows him to gain a sense of accomplishment from these tasks. Rather than working for the survival of all residents, it is better to say that he is fighting to implement his own beliefs. He does not know I don't know if I can hold on, or how long I can hold on. He looked at Li Mingfeng but did not express his truest thoughts. "I'm leaving." He finally chose the most reasonable route, then stood up and prepared to go out again. Li Mingfeng nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work, be careful." At this moment, a loud shout suddenly came from the living area not far away. Lin Chuan looked at Li Mingfeng. "Maybe they started to move." Li Mingfeng guessed. At this time, Lin Chuan heard Zeng Yu's excited voice: "Brother Lin! Brother Li! We caught a thief! We caught a thief!"
