Chapter 261 Dexing Shopping Mall

Ever since Song Chen decided to expand Chenxi Base, Cheng Siyuan has been busy clearing away zombies and survivors in the surrounding area.

The zombies are killed directly to get the crystal core, while the survivors are given the conditions to join the Dawn Base. As for whether they choose to join or find other strongholds, that is their own decision.

The construction of the new base fence was carried out almost simultaneously with the cleaning work.

Ji Yumo found the help of two members who had been engaged in the construction industry. On weekdays, when she was away, these two people would supervise and supervise the work. At the same time, they would start construction from two different directions to speed up the construction of the new fence as quickly as possible.

The residential area at Bay Villa was previously occupied by Wang Jinlong's team. Now Wang Jinlong and his entire team have joined Chenxi Base. As a result, they have one less area to clean and have sped up a lot of progress.

There are not many zombies in the park, which is where Cheng Siyuan first chose to clean up. Now the wall is half built.

The remaining two directions are schools and shopping malls, which are relatively tricky.

When Song Chen went out to the arsenal to get weapons and equipment, Cheng Siyuan and a group of members had already cleared out the school. Now there was no zombie inside, and there were only some empty facilities and buildings, as well as corpses that had not yet been disposed of. .

Cheng Siyuan had already sent people to burn it this morning.

Now only the shopping mall has not been cleaned out.

"The shopping mall is the most difficult place to deal with." Cheng Siyuan frowned and said, "After on-site investigation, we found that the number of zombies around the shopping mall is much more than expected. With the current manpower and strength, it will take a relatively long time to clean it up. For a period of time, coupled with the large amount of materials in the mall, even after clearing the zombies, moving the materials is still a troublesome task. "

Having said this, Cheng Siyuan paused for a moment.

"I did a rough calculation and based on the efficiency of the operation, the entire process from cleaning up the zombies to transporting the supplies and disposing of the corpses will take about half a month."

It takes three to five days to clean up the zombies, and it may take a week to move the supplies. Add in the follow-up work of dealing with the zombie corpses, and half a month is already an estimated time after speeding up the efficiency.

Half a month is neither long nor short.

It's just that this back and forth does take a long time and is likely to delay the base expansion process.

After all, base expansion is not just about clearing out the area. There is still a lot of work to be done in the follow-up. If we continue to extrapolate, it will not be completely completed within a few months.

After listening to Cheng Siyuan's words, Song Chen rubbed his chin and thought for a moment.

"In that case, let me follow you."

Anyway, he has finished all the things he should be busy with, and now he has nothing else important to do.

And at the beginning, he had thought about leading people to clean up the area in the mall himself. After all, if he followed, he would not only speed up the zombie cleaning, but also quickly clear out all the supplies in the mall, which would save a lot of time.

Cheng Siyuan also thought about it this way, so when Song Chen said he would also go along, he nodded immediately.

"Then I will arrange the personnel to participate in the operation now and try to set off tomorrow."

"Leave it to you."

After confirming with Song Chen, Cheng Siyuan left to arrange the members to participate in the shopping mall cleaning operation. Song Chen continued to walk around the base for two rounds and found that he was indeed capable of something. The members in the base and various Work was clearly arranged by Cheng Siyuan, and in the end he could only go back to the villa to play games.

well!

Sometimes it’s troublesome for brothers to be too capable!

…

Cheng Siyuan quickly determined the list of members going to the mall, and everyone dressed up and set off the next morning.

The shopping mall is not far from Chenxi Base, and it took everyone less than half an hour to get there by car.

"This is it, Dexing Mall."

The motorcade stopped about two hundred meters away from the shopping mall, but it was already possible to see the four large signboards of Dexing Shopping Mall hanging on the top floor of the commercial building. Although it had become a bit shabby after such a long time and was crumbling in the wind, It's still clearly visible.

"Dexing is the largest shopping mall in this area. Many commercial facilities such as snack streets have been expanded around it. The average daily flow of people is about 50,000. However, considering that the day of the apocalyptic outbreak was just when business started in the morning, I infer that this place The number of people should be less than 2,000.”

Cheng Siyuan told Song Chen the results of his investigation and analysis.

"It's just that after a field trip, I found that there are many more zombies here than I thought."

He deduced that half of the two thousand people were staff inside the mall and in shops outside. After all, who would come here to visit the mall early in the morning?

But apparently, he seems to have underestimated people's enthusiasm for shopping.

The number of zombies wandering outside the mall alone is well over 2,000.

Looking at the dense zombies around the mall, Song Chen frowned slightly.

He had also come to the mall for on-site inspection before. At that time, the number of zombies here was far from that many. It was very close to the two thousand number predicted by Cheng Siyuan. He did not expect that in just a week, the number of zombies would become so large. .

"You are right in your prediction. These zombies most likely came from other places." Song Chen said.

"Come from other places?" Cheng Siyuan was a little surprised, "Why did you come here from other places?"

"I don't know either." Song Chen shook his head, "Maybe something happened that we don't know about. After we go back, we will send a few teams to investigate the surrounding areas. Now is not the time to discuss those reasons. We should first consider how to clean up all these zombies. Lose."

Cheng Siyuan nodded, picked up the walkie-talkie and asked other members in the car to park the car in a safe location, then get out of the car and prepare to fight.

Most of the members of the base had participated in collective actions. They quickly parked their vehicles according to Cheng Siyuan's order and got out of the car with their own equipment.

Cheng Siyuan then pointed to the zombies around Dexing Mall and began to assign tasks.

"The first team and the second team detoured from the left and right sides respectively. The third team and the fourth team followed us and attacked the front. The fifth team kept an eye on the situation on the commercial street and snack street. Once any abnormality is discovered, a signal flare will be sent immediately. , everyone must support as soon as possible!”

The purpose of the operation is very simple and clear, that is, saving life first.

No matter what, you have to ensure that you can survive, everything else is secondary.

"clear!"

After receiving the order, all the teams began to take action, very quickly and decisively, without any delay.

After seeing the rest of the team running towards their respective standby locations, Cheng Siyuan also turned to look at Song Chen.

"Let's take action too."
