C439 Go with You
"What you said makes some sense. If the corpses attack, no matter how much food there is, it won't be of any use at all."
Cai Mingguo's gaze towards Wang Yi couldn't help but reveal an expression of admiration.
This boy was still young, but he had thought things through even more than he had. If nothing went wrong, he would definitely shine in this apocalyptic world.
"Oh yeah, Brigade Commander Cai, how is the preparation for the expansion of the military recruitment going?"
Seeing that there was something wrong with the way Cai Mingguo was looking at him, Wang Yi hastily interrupted.
"Mm …" "I've already asked my subordinates to deal with the matter of the expansion. The specific number of people …"
Cai Mingguo looked at Ling Yuan beside him.
Ling Yuan was responsible for this matter.
"A total of three thousand young men were recruited from the survivors. Together with our original troops, we were able to arm seven thousand armed soldiers in the gathering area before the zombies attacked us."
Ling Yuan did not hesitate and immediately reported a number that slightly surprised Wang Yi.
There were seven thousand people, and all of them were equipped with weapons. According to the current population ratio, almost one in every twelve survivors could be considered a soldier. After all, the apocalypse had just begun, and the soldiers of the apocalypse were far from being as powerful as the soldiers of the apocalypse.
"However …"
Ling Yuan was a little hesitant and slightly glanced at the Cai Mingguo.
"Speak the truth." Cai Mingguo nodded and signaled Ling Yuan to continue.
"However, we did not inform the newly recruited survivors that this corpse swarm would soon attack the gathering area."
These survivors were almost all attracted here by the 3 taels of meat every day. If they had said at that time that there would be a group of zombies attacking the gathering place in a few days, then it would be good if these 3,000 survivors could have stayed.
"It's fine." Wang Yi waved his hand.
"The gathering place is not only yours, but also the survivors. If they really were attacked by zombies, then the ones that died the most are also survivors. As long as we do the right thing, they won't be able to escape."
Wang Yi's words were not to comfort Cai Mingguo and the rest, but the truth.
For the survivors, this place was the only safe place. If they went out, they would die, and if they didn't go out, the gathering place would be attacked by the corpses, and similarly, they would die. As long as the relationship was clear, Wang Yi felt that these survivors would not run away.
"Alright, then what do we need to prepare next?"
Unknowingly, Cai Mingguo had already paid a lot of attention to Wang Yi's words.
"Retreat the survivors, retreat the floating bridge, and build a trap around Weishan Island!"
Anxiety flashed across Wang Yi's eyes.
"We don't have much time left …"
The afterglow of the blazing sun poured over the Weishan Island, the closest island to the shore. Wang Yi had set up this trap here because the location of the previous corpse group attacking the island was the west of the island.
The cold lake water washed over the rocky shore. Nearly a thousand soldiers, dozens of men in teams, armed with engineers shovels, stepped barefoot into the cold water, digging. As time passed, the sky slowly darkened, and close to a hundred large puddles gradually appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Little Wang, this time, the gathering has brought out almost all the fuel for the fuel."
Cai Mingguo saw the soldiers push the barrels of diesel into the puddles that had been dug by the shore. He couldn't help but feel worried.
They had painstakingly collected these few hundred barrels of diesel from the gas stations surrounding the Weishan Lake. Their original plan was to prepare for the troops to leave, but now, Wang Yi wanted to trap all of the diesel.
"Brigade Commander Cai, let me ask you a question."
Wang Yi seemed to not see the worry in Cai Mingguo's eyes as he continued speaking.
"What problem?"
Cai Mingguo looked at Wang Yi in confusion.
"If the gathering place is really captured by the corpses, will you leave these hundred thousand survivors and run for your life?"
Wang Yi's eyes sparkled as his gaze intersected with Cai Mingguo.
"..." will not... My mission is to ensure the safety of the people. "
Cai Mingguo remained silent for a moment and said with a determined expression.
"By the way, since you won't run, and these soldiers won't run, then what's the use of keeping so much diesel?"
Wang Yi let out a long sigh and continued.
"If you run out of diesel, you can keep looking. But if the gathering point is breached, where can you find these 100,000 survivors?"
Wang Yi had to admit that this time, he didn't have any selfish motives. He just didn't want the gathering point to be destroyed by the corpses without any benefits. Wang Yi just felt that since he was reborn, he should contribute something to this world.
"Sigh …" "You're right."
Cai Mingguo shook his head with a bitter smile, he looked at the busy soldiers on the shore. He didn't know how many of these people would survive after the corpse tide attacked them.
"Brigade Commander!"
Suddenly, a beautiful figure ran over from the shore.
"Brigade Commander, the traps have been set."
Cai Yao first gave Cai Mingguo a standard military salute. After reporting the situation, her beautiful eyes swept over to Wang Yi.
"Mhmm, there are no outsiders here. No need to call me Brigade Commander."
Cai Mingguo waved his hand and looked at Cai Yao with eyes full of love.
"Oh right, Little Wang, there's something I want to ask you."
Cai Mingguo changed his tone and looked at Wang Yi. There was even a hint of pleading in his voice, making Wang Yi a little confused.
"Tell me, Brigade Commander Cai, if I can do it."
He asked me for a favor? What could it be? Wang Yi thought and his eyes couldn't help but look at Cai Yao.
"My daughter grew up with me in the army camp. After the apocalypse, she gained the ability to speed up. She has some experience in managing a gathering area, and she looks pretty good too."
Cai Mingguo did not immediately say any requirements, but instead praised Cai Yao with a face full of pride.
"Dad!"
When Cai Yao heard her father's evaluation of her, and in front of others, no matter how strong her heart was, she couldn't help blushing.
"Little Wang, what do you think about my daughter?"
Cai Mingguo changed his tone and asked a question that caused Wang Yi's heart to tremble.
"How is your daughter? Let me comment? "What does that mean?"2
Wang Yi's mind began to work rapidly as he subconsciously looked at Cai Yao. He saw her secretly looking at him, her four eyes unavoidably intertwined together. Cangyao's eyes flashed with panic and she immediately looked away, but her blushing face completely betrayed Cai Yao's current state of mind.
"Cough, cough …" This... Brigade Commander Cai, you... Daughter... "Very good!"
Embarrassment flashed across Wang Yi's eyes. He finally understood Cai Mingguo's meaning.
"Since it's like this, Little Wang, if this gathering can survive this crisis, I want to have Cai Yao follow you."
