Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1188 - 737: Enhanced Zombie Attraction Potion
Under the eaves of the duty room, Li Yu let his imagination run wild.
At this moment, he heard footsteps nearby, catching his attention.
It was Second Uncle.
"Xiao Yu, are we still having the weekly meeting today? It was originally scheduled for three this afternoon, but look at the time now, it’s already past." Second Uncle had somehow changed into rubber boots, walking over through the water.
Li Yu looked at the zombies outside the wall. A heavy rain had just passed, and there weren’t many zombies below, only a sparse hundred or so. They were likely all within five kilometers of the Big Camphor Tree Base.
Nowadays, many cooperative and extra staff had spontaneously built a wooden fence, and with people living around the Big Camphor Tree Base, a lot of zombies in the area had been cleared out.
However, once a heavy rain fell, those zombies’ sense of smell would increase several times, allowing them to come from far, gathering in dense human areas.
Li Yu looked at the zombies below the wall. It seemed that it would take at least half a day to form a substantial zombie tide.
So he said to Second Uncle, "Let’s have the weekly meeting as usual. There are many things we need to discuss. Notify everyone that the weekly meeting will be held as usual."
"Are we still holding it in the Inner City?" Second Uncle asked.
Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "Yeah, let’s still hold it in the Inner City."
Second Uncle nodded and then went to notify the other core members of the base.
Shortly after.
In the Big Camphor Tree Base Inner City, on the first floor of the villa area.
The meeting room.
Dozens of people were sitting densely packed, except for Uncle and Old Lv who were on the wall guarding, everyone else was present.
The crowd took their seats.
Yutong stood up and, after counting heads in the meeting room, bowed her head and said to Li Yu, "One person is still missing, He Chao hasn’t arrived yet."
Li Yu frowned, then checked the time. That’s odd, Second Uncle notified the meeting for half an hour later.
From the Outer City to the Inner City, even if he’s slow, he should’ve arrived by now.
Besides, He Chao usually was always the first one to arrive. It’s strange he’s late today.
At that moment, He Chao was at the villa door, shaking the rain off his umbrella. The rain was so heavy, the umbrella didn’t provide much protection, and he ended up with half his clothes wet.
He looked down at his watch and slapped his thigh.
"Late, late. Sigh, had I known, I would’ve waited to finish the meeting before going to find my daughter." He Chao mumbled, rushing towards the meeting room.
Squeak!
The meeting room door opened, and when He Chao saw that everyone was present, his heart skipped a beat.
Li Yu glanced at him and didn’t say anything.
After all, today’s originally scheduled three o’clock meeting was canceled and then rescheduled for four-thirty.
Besides, He Chao wasn’t late by more than a few minutes, so nothing needed to be said this time.
After he entered.
Li Yu directly got to the point, addressing Ding Jiu, who’s responsible for building the Third Outer City, and He Chao, who’s assisting, "Ding Jiu, He Chao, report on the progress of constructing the Third Outer City."
Ding Jiu and He Chao exchanged glances, and He Chao gestured to Ding Jiu, indicating for him to speak first.
Ding Jiu understood, then opened his mouth, "Currently, the construction of the Third Outer City only requires a little more on the foundation. According to the schedule, it should be completed by tomorrow.
Once the rain stops, we’ll immediately finish the remaining bit of the foundation, and then we can start building the upper parts of the Third Outer City wall.
At the max, it’ll take two months to complete, and then we can start constructing the buildings inside the wall."
Li Yu nodded and said, "Okay, once Weng City in the Third Outer City is completely built, install a duty room on the wall. Keep this in mind."
Ding Jiu said, "Understood, the entire process and the resulting structure will be built according to the original design plans."
Li Yu then asked He Chao, "Are there any issues with construction materials now?"
He Chao stood up and said, "Through recent collection efforts, core construction materials like steel and cement are sufficient for the upcoming Third Outer City construction. We expect to transport and gather all necessary materials within half a month."
"Okay, after the Outer City wall is built, immediately start constructing the greenhouses."
Li Yu thought of this and then said to An Ya, "An Ya, keep up with the schedule. After the Third Outer City walls are up, the addition of eighty more acres of greenhouses needs to begin, including the seedling preparations."
Upon hearing Li Yu call her, An Ya stood up and said, "Alright, Director Li, just to update you on the current planting status. At present, including greenhouses in the Inner City, both Outer Cities, and the underground plantations, there are a total of 150 acres, with an estimated yield of 60 tons of grains in two months. Among that, 40 tons are rice, with sweet potatoes..."
The data An Ya reported brought a sense of security to everyone present.
Once the Third Outer City is complete, the planting area can expand again, reaching 230 acres. The increased yield will definitely support a larger population.
Considering the base’s current food consumption, including both Inner and Outer City, it accounts for no more than a few hundred people, not to mention the supplementary food for extra staff and food exchange for cooperative personnel.
