In the library.
Zhang He stood beside Zhou Yuan respectfully.
After a long time, he said carefully,
"Mr. Zhou, Old Black and the others probably still have bad intentions."
"Do you want me to find an opportunity to..."
Zhang He's current focus was on stabilizing Zhou Yuan's position.
He wanted to get rid of all the unstable frs that threatened Zhou Yuan.
In this case, his own position would also become more and more stable.
However, Zhou Yuan had no interest in this.
If he had that time, he would rather spend it on building walls and reclaiming land.
"As long as they don't come looking for trouble, just ignore them for now."
"Your task is to supervise the construction and let those people build the wall with all their strength."
"I'll try to complete the closed loop within two days. "
"I can tell you for sure that not long from now, there will be a major event that will turn the world upside down!"
He looked at Zhou Yuan's serious expression and heard his unprecedented tone.
Zhang He felt a sense of urgency.
What could have made the omnipotent Mr. Zhou so serious?
Zhang He could not help but feel nervous.
"What's that woman's current job?" Zhou Yuan suddenly asked.
Zhang He was taken aback. He knew that Zhou Yuan was asking about the person who had been handed over to him a few days ago, so he quickly replied,"
"Oh, you're asking about Ling Xue, right?"
"I let her follow me first. On one hand, she can learn and familiarize herself with the environment."
"On the other hand, it's also to build up her prestige."
"Otherwise, I'm afraid she won't be able to suppress the people below."
Actually, there weren't that many reasons.
Zhang He was afraid that Zhou Yuan would have other thoughts about that woman.
Therefore, he had not assigned any work to her for the time being.
Otherwise, he would have been sent to work with the underlings.
As it turned out, he had made the right choice.
Hearing Zhou Yuan's question, Zhang He was impressed by his own sixth sense.
Ling Xue? Zhou Yuan was stunned.
Only then did he realize that he didn't even know her name.
Helplessly shaking his head, Zhou Yuan said,
"Ask her to bring some people to reclaim the land beside the lake inside the wall."
"That plot of land will be used to plant more food in the future."
Zhang He immediately agreed.
Zhou Yuan thought for a while and said,
"Let's go for a stroll."
"To check the progress of the wall's construction."
Under Zhang He's lead, the two of them arrived at the construction site.
After three days of construction, the wall on the other side of the lake was completed.
The potato, sweet potato, and rice fields had also been completed.
The only thing that was missing now was the extension of both sides toward the library and finally forming a closed loop.
If the closed loop was completed, then the library, the fields, the lake, and part of the building ruins would be completely surrounded by the fence wall.
With that, the prototype of the base would be formed.
Even if there was a zombie outbreak, they would be safe for the time being.
Zhou Yuan felt that with the two-meter-tall wall and the defense of the people inside the wall, they could definitely block the zombies he had killed before.
He was afraid that there would be more powerful mutated zombies.
However, Zhou Yuan felt that mutated zombies would not appear at this stage.
After all, even the woman called Ling Xue could kill another zombie.
It was clear that as of now, the zombies were still weak.
Moreover, the current wall was only the first phase of the project.
It would continue to be strengthened and improved in the future.
In the end, it would become a solid barrier!
......
Two peaceful days passed.
There were two things that had happened that made Zhou Yuan happy.
The first was that the first batch of potatoes and sweet potatoes could already be harvested.
Even the paddies had already begun to grow and would ripen in no time.
The speed of its growth had exceeded Zhou Yuan's expectations.
Zhou Yuan surmised that the larger and luscious the plants, the faster the growth rate.
Therefore, the actual time was much earlier than he had expected.
He had thought that it would take at least half a month, but it had only been less than ten days.
The other thing was that the wall would complete its final closed-loop today.
The last gap was right in front of the library.
However, at this time, even though nothing unexpected happened, an accident still happened.
After two days of silence, Old Black and Fu Mengyu made a comeback.
They chased away the workers who were building the wall and threatened them that if they were to continue, the group will push down all the walls.
When Zhou Yuan, who was harvesting the crops, heard the news, he was instantly enraged.
In order to build the base, he backed down time and time again, but in the end, this was the result.
This time, he had to teach them a lesson.
Zhou Yuan rushed over with a shovel.
In front of the library.
Zhang He's expression was ugly as he confronted the others.
On the opposite side.
Under Fu Mengyu and Old Black's lead.
There were twice as many people as the last time, standing behind them.
The entire campsite only had about three thousand people.
In other words, other than the 1000 men under Zhou Yuan.
The rest of the people were gathered by Old Black and Fu Mengyu.
Zhang He could not help but feel regretful.
These few days, he had been busy with the construction of the fence wall and the reclamation of barren land. The food had also ripened.
He had too many things to do!
However, it seemed that his blatant disregard for these people was what led to the current situation.
Otherwise, he would have definitely fought for surveillance if he found out that the other party was gathering individuals.
If he had fought for it, it would have been impossible for the other party's momentum to grow to such an extent!
Zhang He said coldly,
"Ms. Fu, Old Black!"
"What a big move!"
"With so many underlings, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to feed them?"
Hearing this, Fu Mengyu smiled and said,
"Of course I'm afraid!"
"That's why we're here today to eat the rich!"
Eat the rich?
Who could feed more than 2000 mouths?
Zhang He said angrily,
"Mr. Zhou has let you off time and time again, and you're returning his kindness with ingratitude?"
"A dog knows how to wag its tail when it's given a mouthful of food to eat!"
"What about you guys?"
Old Black stepped forward.
"But the problem is that Zhou Yuan won't even give us a mouthful of food or water."
"Not only that, but he also wants us to have no food to eat. What do you think we should do?"
Zhang He was furious and wanted to retort.
Zhou Yuan's cold voice was heard.
"It was you who pushed away my hands that were holding the food and water!"
"I originally wanted to live in peace with you, but now it seems that I was naive!"
Everyone looked over.
They saw a figure stepping on the completed wall, like an ancient hero, slowly walking over.
He was even holding an iron shovel in his hand!
Zhou Yuan landed on the ground and walked toward Fu Mengyu and Old Black.
As he walked, he said,
"Zhang He, organize people to build the wall! Let's see who dares to stop us today!"
"Anyone who dares to take one more step closer will die!"
Zhou Yuan was facing two thousand people alone, but his momentum was not weak at all.
Fu Mengyu sneered,
"Then let's see how strong you are."
Humans were forgetful creatures.
Due to the fact that Zhou Yuan had not made a move the previous two times, his intimidating power of killing the butcher had almost disappeared.
Everyone's fear of Zhou Yuan had begun to dissipate.
Therefore, at Fu Mengyu's command, seven or eight strong men rushed out.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed coldly as he immediately charged forward with his shovel.
Under the blessing of rage, he dealt with these minions in a few moves.
This time, Zhou Yuan had deliberately been ruthless.
Two of them had half their heads cut off by him.
The bloody scene immediately stimulated everyone's eyes.
The thousands of people in the audience were dead silent.
Even Fu Mengyu and Old Black became silent after seeing Zhou Yuan's killing.
However, there was no turning back.
Since they had already made their move, they couldn't give up halfway!
This time, they would not stop until they achieved their goal!
At the thought of this, Fu Mengyu gritted her teeth and was ready to let everyone rush forward.
However, at this moment.
A series of strange roars sounded from all directions.
The crowd started to scream in fear.
"Ahh! Zombie!"
"The zombies are here! Quickly run!"
