After seeing the strength of Liu Xi and others, the survivors all felt at ease.

However, as the materials on the river boat were transported, the survivors saw the river boat leaving the dock and returning to the original road, and drove further and further away. It seemed that they had no plans to come back.

This made the survivors feel a little nervous and curious.

"Why did this river boat leave? Where are you going?" Some survivors asked a female team member with courage.

"Nothing to tell!" The female team member glanced at the survivor and replied coldly.

The survivor did not dare to ask again when he saw the female team member's cold expression that he did not want to say more, but he was aroused to have greater curiosity and told the other survivors the news.

"Will it be to pick up the large army behind?"

"It may also be their stronghold..."

"Why did you say they came to our Yushan..."

For a moment, the survivors were puzzled, but Liu Xi and others did not reveal any information.

Before coming, the people from Yushan sent the team were told that they could not disclose information about the base. The female team members used to have the habit of hiding their base when they were seeking to survive in the end of the world. Now, after joining the base, they naturally would not disclose information about the base.

Even though they have not truly integrated into Xingtian Base, Xingtian Base treats them well, and it is the only place where they can live normally now, so they are naturally willing to abide by the base's orders.

After settled down at the barge dock, Liu Xi and others were not idle either and began to plan to build a stable stronghold on the shore.

After a night of rest and leaving female team members to guard the dock, Yuan Na, Liu Xi and other former members, together with Xu Xuehui, began to go ashore to investigate, and picked one of them out of the attacks of several robber prisoners and came out to serve as a guide.

The barge dock is close to a Linjiang Commercial Street, and then there is a large area of ​​brand new residential communities. However, this residential community is a product of real estate overheating in recent years. Its location is relatively high, resulting in the occupancy rate here is not high.

In order to sell the house, the real estate developers here racked their brains and built a food commercial street and a tourist ferry pier here for a gimmick, and this pier is the barge dock occupied by Liu Xi and the others.

However, the end of the world came not long after the project was completed, so naturally it did not attract much popularity. In addition, the chaos before the outbreak of the mutation wave escaped many people. The number of mutants and survivors remained here, and the people on the barge were gathered by survivors in nearby communities.

Liu Xi and others climbed a staircase, walked through a gate building and entered the commercial street, and saw that it was empty. The brand new building, which was originally built, showed a trace of dilapidation after being left unattended for a long time, but there were no mutants here, which was safer.

However, it is different from the residential community that is separated by a road from the commercial street. Since the commercial street and the residential building are not covered, many night ghosts hiding in the building immediately saw a few people, and some night ghosts flashed from time to time in some rooms.

But Liu Xi and others did not rashly enter these communities, but first released drones to address the nearby terrain.

However, the investigation situation is not very ideal. Each of the residential communities nearby covers a huge area. Although the number of mutants inside is not too good, it is not something that Liu Xi and the others can clean up.

And even if they are cleaned up, defense is a big problem. Only dozens of them can't defend against such a large area.

"I'm afraid there is no suitable place to build a stronghold nearby..." Yuan Na controlled the drone and frowned.

"This is indeed a problem!" Liu Xi looked at the unanswered picture, looked up and looked around, and found that there were almost no short and compact buildings nearby for them to build strongholds, except for the commercial street.

But the commercial streets are basically open buildings, and there is no defense at all to build the strongholds here.

"Is there no easy defense nearby?" Yuan Na looked at it and pulled the prisoner over and asked.

"If there is, we don't have to go on the barge..." Such a captive replied helplessly.

They moved into the barge because there was no easy defense nearby. The prisoner muttered in a low voice: "Isn't the barge good? Why do you have to run to the shore..."

When Liu Xi heard the captive's words, his eyes lit up.

Yes, there is no need to build a stronghold on the shore. Just set the stronghold on a large ship such as a barge. Yushan does not lack such a river ship.

Their mission was originally to come to Yushan to collect the population, and the collected population could be arranged directly on the river ship. These river ships usually dock on the riverside like barges as strongholds, and there would be no water shortage. After the number of people was enough, just drive the boat to Lingchuan directly.

Moreover, the strongholds that stay on the river are much easier to defend than on the shore. They are covered with water on all sides, and there are no mutant creatures in the river, so there is no need to worry about the harassment of mutants.

Liu Xi immediately expressed her thoughts. Yuan Na was stunned when she heard this. After touching her chin and pondering for a while, she nodded slowly and said, "I feel that this method is feasible, but it cannot completely set up the stronghold on the river..."

Yuan Na expressed her considerations: "In addition to mutated creatures, we also need to consider the threat of humans. It is not too safe to place all the strongholds on the ship. The shore embankment near Yushan is generally made of a piece of the river, which makes it easy for people to condescend..."

After hearing this, Liu Xi frowned for a moment. If someone was condescending to shoot with a gun, the situation would be quite bad at that time.

"I don't think it's a problem to place the stronghold on the boat, but we have to set up a defense point on the shore to prevent someone from launching sneak attacks on us from the shore." Yuan Na did not completely deny Liu Xi's idea, but proposed her own supplementary plan.

Compared to placing the entire stronghold on the shore, a defense point is relatively simple.

"Actually, our location is quite suitable now. The terrain is wide near the commercial street, and we can detect any movements, and it is also conducive to our firepower advantages..."

Yuan Na turned around and looked at the terrain around the commercial street, and finally pointed to the gate building leading to the dock on the commercial street behind her and said, "As long as we guard this place, not only the enemies on the shore cannot threaten us, but even if there are enemies on the river approaching, we can use the height advantage here to attack the enemy coming from the river with a 37-speed fire cannon."

Liu Xi looked at the gate building. The building was about three stories high, with a hollowed-out staircase leading to the dock at the bottom. The two floors above were connected to the commercial buildings on both sides. It should be no problem to defend here.

"Then let's set up the stronghold here!" Liu Xi said...
Chapter completed!
