The third wave

It only takes two or three days to learn to drive in the open wilderness. After two days of hard work, Zhou Yuanqiang was finally able to drive the truck freely on the road. He did not ask others to follow him and drove the truck away from the settlement. After driving north for more than ten kilometers, he turned into a small road and drove a few kilometers before hiding the car in a depression.

 The 4 cubic meters of storage space can fill this medium-sized truck at one time. For the safety of the small oasis, Zhou Yuanqiang had to use this method to transport enough bulk cement from the modern world to the end of the world to build a defensive siege. The amount of barbed wire required is also huge, far from being able to be brought all at once.

 Fortunately, the storage and access of the storage space are all completed by thoughts, otherwise it is unknown when a truck of cement will be loaded by one person.

 When the truck was driven out of the hiding place, the surroundings were calm and only in the far distance could the shadows of a few zombies be faintly seen. In all, it should be safe. No one found it, and no zombies appeared. After driving out of the path and onto the highway, they sped all the way to the settlement.

 When they returned to the small oasis, they told everyone to find some bags, barrels and other things to carry things, and unloaded a truck of bulk cement.

 Cement is very common, but it is not easy to find in this doomsday. There are some in the city, but who would spend a huge amount of manpower to organize to pull cement? So no one could guess the origin of Zhou Yuanqiang's truck of bulk cement. Originally, Xu Yuhai wanted to ask, but he held back. His boss has been mysterious from the beginning to now. Even if he asked, he might not tell him, but would be scolded.

 There is strength in numbers. A truck of cement was unloaded in just half an hour, and almost all that could be used was used in the small oasis camp.

 Seeing that the truck was empty, Zhou Yuanqiang jumped on the truck again, and soon disappeared in the wilderness with a trail of mud smoke. Zhou Yuanqiang's idea was very simple, that is, to get all the raw materials needed from the modern at one time today. It is impossible to let Chen Jianliang and his team be idle during this period, right? What's more, with the siege, and a few guns, they, an ordinary small team, want to come here to take advantage, and they need to weigh their own abilities, which can be regarded as a little more safe.

After six rounds of tossing back and forth, a day passed. When the last trip brought a truck of potatoes back to the small oasis, it was almost dark, and Zhou Yuanqiang was almost exhausted.

Two trucks of bulk cement, three trucks of barbed wire, and a truck of food were the results of Zhou Yuanqiang's efforts today. Needless to say, although they didn't know where these materials came from, they couldn't stop the boiling in the small oasis, especially when they saw the last truck of food, some people who were suffering from hunger even burst into tears. For them, Zhou Yuanqiang's arrival was like giving them a new life, and it was no different from reborn parents.

Dinner was of course provided for everyone. Qiu Guorui and his friends, who had seen Zhou Yuanqiang's magic, didn't know what to say. They were all excited and sharpened their knives, wanting to start working immediately to perfect the entire oasis and decorate this new home.

 Needless to say, on the second day, everyone got up early. Regardless of whether they knew construction work or not, they all helped to move the gravel and sand from the wasteland and started to build the wall. This project was not small. It started from the foundation, and after building a unified two-meter height, it was raised to five meters in sections. Even if all the people in the oasis were busy, it would take at least half a month to complete.

 The barbed wire was easy to handle. It was wrapped around the woods of the oasis for a week and fixed well, which could well defend against scattered zombies to prevent them from entering the interior of the oasis from the woods.

 Originally, Zhou Yuanqiang wanted Chen Jianliang to go to the refugee camp in the settlement to recruit some people to help and complete the work as soon as possible. But he was stopped by Chen Jianliang.

"Boss, the end of the world is not peaceful. Many people in the small oasis know about it, but they will not attract attention. If we recruit people to help now, it will completely expose everything in the small oasis, which is undoubtedly not wise. At least before the wall is repaired, try not to attract other people's attention. As long as the wall is repaired, we can also rely on the wall to protect the safety of the entire small oasis." Seeing that what Chen Jianliang said made sense, Zhou Yuanqiang nodded in agreement. After handing these trivial matters to Chen Jianliang, just two days later, the third wave of caravans heading to the Grand Canyon settlement began to set off one after another. Perhaps due to the decline in wine prices, there were not many people in the third wave. The scattered caravans of all sizes could not be compared with the first wave, let alone half the size of the second wave. After preparing for almost a week, Zhou Yuanqiang's goods were delivered to various factories and transported to the end of the world by Zhou Yuanqiang in several batches, and hidden in a secret place west of the settlement. As soon as the third caravan started, Zhou Yuanqiang drove a truck with Xu Yuhai and others, loaded all the goods in the dark, covered them with canvas, and transported them back to the small oasis camp. No one knew what was on the truck. With the upright Xu Dali guarding the night, although there were many curious people, no one dared to approach and ask. They knew that this was the boss's goods. For the sake of their seemingly stable jobs, even if they were troublemakers, they could only stay by the side honestly.

 The next day, early in the morning, Qiu Guorui brought several small teams hired and arrived at the small oasis for assembly with more than 20 vehicles of various types. The number of these small teams ranged from 30 to 40 people, and from as few as 5 to 6 people. However, the team selected by Qiu Guorui had first-class combat experience, otherwise he would not have caught his eye.

 A caravan with less than 30 vehicles can only be regarded as a small caravan, and there are only five trucks carrying goods, which undoubtedly reduces the difficulty of defense for the entire caravan.

 In the small oasis camp, a week's worth of dry food and water had been prepared, as well as breakfast for the mercenaries. In fact, according to the employment system, mercenaries are responsible for the provision of food, water and ammunition. Zhou Yuanqiang's generosity undoubtedly won the favor of these hundreds of men. Of course, from another perspective, it also shows that Zhou Yuanqiang is very wealthy.

 Looking at the scene of hundreds of armed men standing or squatting to eat breakfast, Zhou Yuanqiang grinned and was already thinking in his mind: "Damn, you eat my food and use my things, you should be grateful to me, right? There are still too few people on hand. The people that Brother Qiu is looking for are strong and experienced veterans. Paying for some food can win people's hearts. This deal is worthwhile."

 The mercenaries on the ground didn't know what Zhou Yuanqiang, their employer, was thinking in his heart, and they praised him one by one while eating.
