Chapter 669

"You're playing with us, right? Go, go get a bag of pistachios for us as compensation for mental distress!"

Lu Yubo said very dissatisfied.

"Squeak! Squeak!"

Lightning jumped. It was originally going to lose its temper at Lu Yubo, but then that feeling came again, and it pointed toward the Yunlong Valley direction and shouted repeatedly! To others, it looked like it was arguing for its previous mistake, its appearance really a bit stupid and cute.

"Oh, why are you still thinking about its rations? So, everyone, hurry back to the house to rest, do your own duties, and spend this night peacefully."

Duan Wuhu patted Lu Yubo on the shoulder and waved to the people around.

"Time to sleep..."

No one cleaned up the corpses all over the ground. Anyway, they were leaving after staying for one night. Following the previous order, Zhao Dezhu and Pu Canyong went to the roofs of the two adjacent courtyards to keep watch.

"Hey, friend, it's so cold, we won't be responsible if you freeze to death lying here!"

Zhao Dezhu threw a blanket to the mysterious person as he passed by, then walked to the next courtyard. They had met, survived the zombie attack, so he didn't want him to freeze to death at the door in the end; that would be too annoying.

The seemingly careless fish-killer actually had a bit of kindness in his heart.

Because the angle was suitable, Zhao Dezhu could see the position where the mysterious person was lying from the roof. He would turn on his flashlight to take a look from time to time, and each time it was the same posture, motionless like a rock.

"This guy is stubborn enough. He wouldn't really plan to freeze himself to death, would he..."

Zhao Dezhu curled his lips uncomfortably, tightened his collar, and continued to observe the surroundings, especially the direction where Lightning said there were zombies. He could choose not to believe it, but he couldn't ignore it. However, he didn't find anything, and he didn't know if it was luck or misfortune, because there was a strange creature looking at him from across the distance...

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the stars couldn't be seen. Time passed quietly. Nothing happened during Zhao Dezhu and Pu Canyong's watch. The two had their own thoughts and didn't chat. They smoked half a pack of cigarettes and drank half a pot of water.

The last shift was Duan Wuhu and Yuan Huotu. When the two teams changed shifts, they passed by the mysterious person and stopped to look. They found him squinting at the sky, not sleeping at all, just staring blankly, as if his soul had been extracted from his body.

Those on duty couldn't sleep, the mysterious person didn't sleep, and the zombies didn't need to sleep. The weak zombie on the hillside of Yunlong Valley just kept sitting on the cliff, gazing at every move of the people in Red Ditch Village.

Seven o'clock in the morning, the sky was dimly lit. Duan Wuhu finished his shift and prepared to go downstairs. As if they had agreed, as he stood up and stretched, the mysterious person also sat up, standing straight up like a corpse coming back to life, looking a bit creepy.

"His body is really tough!"

Duan Wuhu sighed. If he had lain outside in minus twenty or thirty degrees for a whole night, he would have lost half his life even if he didn't die...

Quickly going downstairs and out of the courtyard, Duan Wuhu saw the mysterious person moving zombie corpses.

At the same time, the people in the house had also gotten up. Hearing sounds outside, they walked out one after another to check the situation.

The mysterious man tore off the dirty scarf wrapped around his face, revealing a weathered face. The wrinkles were a bit deep, and he had the skin characteristics of a traditional northern farmer. Because he hadn't washed his face for a long time, it was very dirty.

Just looking at his face, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was seventy, but considering how brave he was during the battle, he was probably only forty or fifty.

The mysterious person remained silent, picked up the zombie corpses, and placed them in the center of the road, lining them up neatly, his movements careful and his expression sorrowful.

"Too sentimental... Old sir, do you want to come in and have some hot porridge?"

Shen Linrui greeted the mysterious man. There was a ready-made stove in the house. Putting a pot on it, adding water and cooked rice, and stirring it, it quickly became porridge! After a night of thinking and calming down, the mysterious man's state was obviously much better. Hearing someone's invitation, he paused for a moment, then shook his head slightly and continued moving the corpses.

"Let's go, let's finish eating as soon as possible, it's time to set off."

Lu Yubo urged everyone, not wanting to linger. He just wanted to complete the mission as soon as possible and then return to Tianma Island.

Duan Wuhu pondered for a moment and said: "Don't rush, I'll go ask Brother Zhang about something."

"Teacher Duan, you don't want to... take him with us, do you?" Wu Lue lowered his voice and asked with an exaggerated expression. "Yeah, he's sentimental and righteous, and his combat power is not bad. He fits the camp's recruitment requirements very well. You guys eat and pack up first. I'll just ask, it won't delay the schedule."

Duan Wuhu patted Wu Lue on the arm, then walked toward the stairs, intending to go to the roof to communicate.

"The vegetable shed must be repaired today. There are plenty of plastic films in the warehouse, the main thing is the support..."

"The pipeline connecting to the reservoir was smashed by stones. It's necessary to repair it. It's fine while it's frozen, but it will be a disaster once it thaws!"

"Little Wu is gone, I have to quickly rearrange the wires and surveillance data cables. I wonder how they are doing over there..."

Fan Donglu, the combat expert of the Dragon Head Camp, raised the question. He thought the man was tripping them for more precise kills, but after tripping them, he just ignored them! "I don't get it... Oh no, the zombies have spotted him!"

The members of the Yama Legion were very proactive. General affairs could be arranged properly by themselves, without Zhang Su or Yu Wen needing to arrange them. The two of them mainly controlled some important matters and the general direction.

Zhang Su was happy that everyone was so proactive. He said to Jia Shiqin, who was eating quietly not far away: "Master Jia, you have a very important task."

"Hmm, okay, what is it?"

Jia Shiqin asked while picking up pickles. The atmosphere on Tianma Island was very relaxed, but at the same time, everyone would give the leader enough respect.

"The zombie generator is already difficult to meet the camp's electricity needs. It just so happens that Dr. Xie has recently researched a method for efficient use of flames. We can officially start boiling water!"

"Huh? Haha, is it that wonderful, efficient use of flames?"

"Dr. Xie, tell us quickly, what kind of technology is this? Is it past technology?"

"What are you thinking? In our current rudimentary environment, even if Dr. Xie had eight brains, he couldn't invent future technology..."

Hearing Zhang Su's words, the restaurant suddenly became more active.

Xie Yanshan smiled and shook his head, waving his hand: "Exaggerated, Mr. Zhang's words are too exaggerated. I just discovered some usable resources from the zombies, nothing special. It's all the credit of you warriors. If you hadn't brought the zombies back, I wouldn't have discovered anything."

These words were airtight, making people feel very comfortable, but the actual information was almost zero. Educated people didn't hesitate at all when speaking polite words.

"Haha, Brother Zhang, are you considering assembling a thermal power generator?" Jia Shiqin heard the string and knew the elegance.

"Yes, we need a thermal power generation device. The situation in the city is complicated, so we can't go there for the time being. You take people and rub one together. It doesn't matter if it's simple, but the premise is to ensure safety, that's OK!"

Electrical energy is definitely one of the energy sources that modern people cannot leave. You can live without electricity, but you won't live comfortably...

With a flame amplification device, it must be converted into electrical energy. It doesn't matter if the conversion rate is a bit low; this is the difference between having it and not having it.

After hearing Zhang Su's task, Jia Shiqin didn't nod immediately. Involving professional knowledge, he was very steady, pondered for about half a minute, then nodded slowly, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said: "It can be done, but it needs some manpower to help, preferably professionals with relevant technology."

"That's easy to handle. There are hundreds of people down the mountain. Old Yu and Old Tan have counted the professional specialties of many people. You can learn about it from them. If it really doesn't work, just issue a recruitment order in the village. There are six or seven hundred people, you can always pick a few!"

"Okay, then what scale of thermal power generator is needed?"

"As for the size... it's enough to meet normal electricity use and have double the surplus. The requirements in this regard are not very high, and the conditions are limited. You can look at it."

"Brother Zhang, Brother Zhang, zzz... I'm Duan Wu... zzz, can...?"

Just as they were discussing the generator, the walkie-talkie in Zhang Su's arms rang. The sound was not only noisy but also a bit intermittent.
