Chapter 17 Exploring the Outside World
Li Yunpeng tidied up briefly, and called Wang Shiyan, Wu Gang, and Zhang Tao over for a meeting.
Wang Shiyan blushed a little when she saw Li Yunpeng, and she occasionally heard people comment that the Commander must have taken a fancy to her, and that's why he entrusted her with such an important job.
She didn't pay much attention once or twice, but she often heard such remarks, and she also had some doubts, the Commander wouldn't really like me.
Seeing her blushing, Li Yunpeng didn't care. He cleared his throat and said, Our base now has a population of more than 1,000 people. It's not an option to keep eating individual rations. From today onwards, we will arrange for those who have no jobs to go to the park to collect daily necessities. , I will arrange two teams of guards to follow, and for those who don’t want to go, they will only be given a bowl of porridge every day in the future, as long as they don’t starve to death.”
Zhang Tao immediately stood up and said solemnly: Please don't worry, Commander, I will personally lead a team to search for supplies.
Li Yunpeng was a little surprised. Zhang Tao came to the base at the beginning of the outbreak of the end of the world. He has never been out of the base since then, and now he has the courage to go out in person.
In fact, Zhang Tao knows in his heart that he will have to face these sooner or later in the last days. Now that he is lucky and appreciated by the commander, he must cherish this hard-won opportunity. He must strive to be the first in everything, and he will be replaced sooner or later.
Seeing him express his opinion first, Wu Gang also stood up and said, I will also lead a team to ensure that the task assigned by the Commander is completed.
There were only three managers who came to the meeting. Seeing that both of them had expressed their views, Wang Shiyan bit his lower lip and stood up, and said bravely, Commander, I too...
Li Yunpeng had a headache, so he quickly interrupted: Sit down quickly, and join in the fun, it depends on what materials your three or five subordinates can bring back. Now that the population is increasing rapidly, your department must do a good job in logistics support.
Wang Shiyan was embarrassed after hearing this, and then said obediently: Oh, yes.
Wu Gang and Zhang Tao wanted to laugh when they saw Wang Shiyan's adorable appearance, but they didn't dare, so they endured it hard.
Seeing the two of them resisting the twitching of the corners of their mouths, Li Yunpeng glared at them and said, Don't just stand there, I will bring back everything you need.
yes!
As if they were granted amnesty, the two saluted, turned and left in a hurry.
After they left, Li Yunpeng and Li Yunpeng were the only ones left in the inner city. Wang Shiyan was a little nervous, sitting with his hands clutching the corners of his clothes in a state of bewilderment.
Li Yunpeng felt strange and said, Shiyan, do you have anything else to do?
Only then did Wang Shiyan come to his senses, and said, Oh, no, it's fine, then I'm leaving.
He stood up and gave a quick salute, then ran out in a panic.
This woman is a bit inexplicable... Li Yunpeng looked at her figure who ran out in a panic, and said to himself.
After arranging the material collection, Li Yunpeng called all the team leaders, and ten burly men stood in a row, motionless like a mountain.
After reaching the first level, their thinking becomes more flexible, no different from ordinary people.
Li Yunpeng stood in front of them and said: Next, we will explore outside, and we will assign our respective tasks today.
The squad leaders immediately stood at attention from a straddle stance, listening to orders with solemn expressions.
Li Yi, Li Er, you are in charge of guarding the base, and you must not make any mistakes. If someone disturbs the order of the base, kill them on the spot after the warning fails.
Yes, please rest assured, Commander! The two replied in response.
Li Yunpeng nodded and continued: Li Shiliu, Li Sanwu, you two lead your respective teams to escort the material collection team.
Yes! Guaranteed to complete the task!
Li Qi, Li Baiyi...you four teams will go east with me to explore, and the remaining two teams will patrol one to two kilometers away from the base to ensure the safety of the base.
Yes! Several people took orders in unison.
That's it, go prepare yourself.
After Li Yunpeng gave the order, the squad leaders all went to prepare separately. After a while, they followed Li Yunpeng's squad, each carrying 200 rounds of ammunition, 5 grenades, and three-day rations, and stood at the gate ready to go.
The people in the base saw more than a hundred fully armed soldiers waiting at the gate, and they were a little curious. What kind of big move is this?
But seeing these soldiers, people felt very safe in their hearts, and looked at the soldiers with respect. Not long after, Li Yunpeng, wearing a combat uniform, slung a steel gun, and carrying a combat backpack, strode over. , awe-inspiring and heroic.
Seeing that the commander was about to set off with the team, people greeted him one after another.
The older old man said in a thoughtful language: Master Commander, you must be careful and come back safely.
A young, strong and passionate youth: Commander, let me go with the team, I want to join the army!
Brainless nympho girl: Master Commander, I want to give birth to a monkey for you...
…
Li Yunpeng represents the soul of the entire base. The first two batches of people supported him from the bottom of their hearts. Although he was sometimes ruthless and merciless, the survivors who came back understood that the commander was doing it for their own good. If you want to keep stock in the last days, you must first adapt.
Although the Commander looks ruthless, he did not rely on powerful force to bully the weak.
In the apocalypse, things like taking women forcibly, beating and scolding the old and the young, and looting supplies happened all the time. In comparison, the base seemed like a paradise.
People gradually figured out his temperament, they must resolutely implement his orders, and the commander didn't care about making some harmless jokes on weekdays.
Li Yunpeng waved at the people, strode to the front of the team and said, Let's go!
The whole team followed Li Yunpeng at a neat pace, and walked towards the east of the base. People kept watching the team until they disappeared from sight.
Li Yunpeng spread out the teams, one team explored the way ahead, the other team followed him, and each team guarded the flanks.
After walking more than ten kilometers to the east, the guards would avoid any large groups of zombies found in advance, and the scattered ones would be dealt with with bayonets.
There was no danger along the way. After turning around a mountain depression, the vanguard team in front returned with two soldiers. They came to the front and reported: Report, Commander, a village is found ahead.
Since there was a village, Li Yunpeng immediately gathered his team and groped forward.
He lay far outside the village and looked inside with a telescope. After watching for a while, he didn't find a single zombie.
It's strange, is there no one in this village at the end of the world?
Li Yunpeng looked around and saw a few low houses beside the farmland outside the village. He thought about it and asked Li Qi to take someone to clean it up. He planned to camp here today.
Soon, Li Qi made a safe gesture to this side.
Li Yunpeng led the crowd to go there. It seemed to be a vegetable shed of a farmer's family. When the end of the world happened, there was no one here, and no one had touched the furnishings in the house. The furniture was covered with a thick layer of dust.
After arranging the light and dark sentry posts, Li Yunpeng climbed onto the roof and looked into the village. This is a village with a population of several hundred households, so it should not be so quiet.
