Chapter 1843: Chapter 992:

Big Camphor Tree Base.

The construction of the Fourth Outer City has restarted, and many people have come out from the greenhouse of the First Outer City to join the construction work.

The Jackals and Third Uncle flew the helicopter over to Min Province, Ming City, searching several times, but still couldn’t find the people Chen Delong mentioned.

After Chen Delong and his group returned to Big Camphor Tree Base, Li Yu rewarded them with a lot of points and food for alerting the base about the nuclear radiation zombies this time.

Chen Delong’s group has reduced from dozens to just four people now.

With the points divided among them, they have reached the standard to become extra staff.

They formally entered the assessment period, and as long as they perform well during this period, they will soon become official extra staff at Big Camphor Tree Base.

This made Chen Delong and his group extremely delighted.

So after resting in the base for two days, once their bodies recovered, they heard the base had restarted the construction of the Fourth Outer City, and they immediately signed up to participate.

On the construction site.

They pulled out a lot of equipment and materials stored before the torrential disaster.

The entire construction site had a bustling atmosphere.

On the edge of the cliff.

Fu Sheng and Xu Zhen, among others, carried water hoses as they walked over, as the sun radiation was too intense, the Mountain Pond’s water had to be reserved for daily use at the base.

Even though zombies had been soaking in the lake below the cliff, it wasn’t a big deal to use it for constructing the Fourth Outer City.

“Fu Sheng, did you drop the hose?” Lao Xie shouted from above the cliff to Fu Sheng by the lake.

Fu Sheng tossed the hose into the lake, then shouted back at Lao Xie above the cliff, “It’s done, plug in the power and give it a try.”

Lao Xie nodded, then picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Song Min by the perimeter wall, “The hose is ready, plug it in and test it.”

“Alright.” Song Min switched on the power.

The lake was closest to the perimeter wall, so that’s where the power was connected from.

Soon enough.

The pump was activated.

The previously flat hose quickly bulged as it filled with water.

Swish——

At the Fourth Outer City construction site, Ding Jiu saw water finally coming out of the hose, quickly picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Lao Xie and the others: “Lao Xie, there’s water coming out.”

Lao Xie clapped his hands, secured the hose, then shouted to Fu Sheng below, “It’s done, Fu Sheng, you guys can come up now.”

“Okay.” Fu Sheng nodded and then started climbing up.

After everyone left, zombies slowly floated to the surface of the lake beneath, and hearing the pump noise, began to swim towards it.

……

Outside Oil City.

A young boy lay in the grass less than two kilometers from the city.

Secretly watching the situation over at Oil City.

He was very young, not very experienced, unlike those few seen previously dealing with Dong Tai and Chen Er.

Approaching while keeping a low profile, Xiao He on the high wall spotted him.

So he reported this to Dong Tai, who then had him operate a drone to check it out.

The drone ascended to several hundred meters and flew towards the boy’s direction.

On another side.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuan saw the drone descending from the sky.

It startled him, and he hurriedly ran backward.

Dong Tai watched the screen showing the drone’s footage, frowning slightly.

Xiao He next to him asked, “Dong Tai, should we chase? This person approaching definitely has some issues.”

Dong Tai looked at the footage and said, “Lower the drone a bit more, let’s see what this person looks like.”

“Okay.”

The drone gradually descended to a height only about a dozen meters from the boy, finally revealing Xiao Yuan’s figure clearly.

Xiao He laughed and said, “It’s a kid, no idea where he came from.”

Dong Tai furrowed his brows; he recalled the strange feeling from the recent deal outside.

So he said, “Better safe than sorry. When did you discover this kid?”

“Huh? Just now, any issues? What’s scary about a kid, probably just curious and wandered over.” Xiao He said.

Dong Tai watched the kid running into the woods and realized catching him now would be difficult. So he nodded, “Alright, let him go, but the Camp Commander was right, we need to resume our old patrol mode with drones, 24/7.”

“Don’t get used to not using drones because of a heavy rain, then stop patrolling. Pass the word, from today on, resume the previous 24-hour drone patrol around Oil City in this doomsday era.”

Xiao He found it a bit troublesome and said, “We used this method for months before, didn’t find any problems…”

Dong Tai couldn’t help but scold, “This place is too far from the base, if something happens, we’ll be in trouble. You can say this to me, but if the Camp Commander or Director Li hears, you won’t be let off easily.”

“Fine, I’ll talk with the brothers later, make a duty roster.”

“Mm.” Dong Tai nodded.

…

But then Xiao Yuan, after hurriedly running into the woods, felt terrified of being chased by the people from Oil City, so he purposefully ran on small paths.

After running for a full hour, he dared to look back up at the sky.
