Chapter II Base Site Selection

Traffic is rolling and people are buzzing.

Looking at the daily life of Yushan City, which has a population of tens of millions, Wu Xin took a deep breath of car exhaust and felt very friendly.

Wu Xin was discharged from the hospital. After organizing his father's funeral, he ran away from all kinds of hypocritical care. And the first thing he did was eat, yes, eat, eat, eat!

After three days of eating haise, satisfying the extremely suppressed appetite after the apocalypse, Wu Xin and Han Junlin returned to their hometown.

Looking at this young man sitting in the car still eating fried chicken legs, Han Junlin did not dare to look down upon him at all.

In just these few days, while eating and drinking, Wu Xin gathered back those cronies who had been suppressed by Han Junlin after his father's death, and arranged to check and balance Han Junlin in important positions. His skills were quite skillful, and he did not look like a novice at all.

The smart people on the board of directors saw something from this, and gave Wu Xin the green light to act, and made plans to become a fisherman. Many of Han Junlin's plans had to come to nothing, and he had no choice but to cooperate with Wu Xin.

But Wu Xin didn't pay attention to these intrigues. At this time, his memory was uncovering the situation in his hometown of Lingchuan.

Lingchuan is located about 100 kilometers west of Yushan City. It is a small city with a population of less than 600,000. It is located in a concave mountainous area that opens to the south. To the north is a vast mountain. A Lingchuan River splits down the mountain.

The depression is divided into east and west parts and flows southward into the river.

The birthplace of Lingchuan City is on the west bank of the Lingchuan River, the largest area, and gradually develops southward to the open area on the other side of the river.

The east coast, which is smaller in area and has a long and narrow terrain, has been ignored because of its lack of development potential.

It was not until two years ago that Wu's father entered the trap under the persuasion of the local government and with the intention of giving back to his hometown. However, the progress was very slow, and only a few unfinished buildings were left until Wu's father died.

But this narrow strip of land, these few unfinished buildings, has become the base camp of Wu Xin’s survivor group after the apocalypse!

Just as Wu Xin was remembering, a mountain range stretching from north to south came into view in the distance.

"Have we arrived at Pingding Mountain..." Looking at the tunnel under the steep rock wall, he knew that he had arrived at the entrance to the east bank of the Lingchuan River.

This is the only land passage between Yushan and Lingchuan on the north bank of the river. After the development of Lingchuan City to the south bank of the river, there are very few vehicles traveling between the two places. The two places rely more on the highways and railways on the south bank of the river.

communication, but Wu Xin specifically chose to enter Lingchuan from here.

At the end of the world, the survivor group had blocked several attacks from external raiders here, relying on its geographical location.

The car passed through a long tunnel and entered the east bank of the Lingchuan River. There were only a few scattered low buildings on both sides of the road.

Until the Lingchuan River Bridge at the end of the road, we saw several high-rise unfinished buildings standing on the left side of the bridge entrance. This is where Wu Xin fought and lived in the last days.

"Stop here!" The driver stopped next to the construction site at Wu Xin's instruction. Wu Xin got out of the car, looked up at the unfinished buildings that had been suspended, and fell into memories.

During the apocalypse, these buildings were stuck at the entrance of the Lingchuan River Bridge, which not only made it easier for survivors to enter the city to the west to collect supplies, but the mutated creatures were also firmly blocked on the west bank, giving the survivor group a relatively safe place in the early days of the apocalypse.

environment, but eventually fell due to the numerical advantage of mutated creatures.

Although there are also reasons for internal fighting among the survivor groups themselves, the situation is irreversible.

Han Junlin, who was following the car, saw that Wu Xin was very concerned about these unfinished buildings, so he explained from the side: "The projects on the east bank of the Lingchuan River have basically stopped after your father passed away. The terrain here is only between the bridge and the highway.

The south is relatively flat, but it is sandwiched between Pingding Mountain and the Lingchuan River. It becomes narrower as you go south, and is eventually blocked by Pingding Mountain and the Lingchuan River. There is no connecting road. The board of directors believes that there is little development potential here, and they are more optimistic about the south bank of the river."

After hearing this, Wu Xin agreed with the board of directors' judgment, but the premise was that there was no apocalypse.

After the end of the world, although the south side of the East Bank is narrow and long, it has the largest flat terrain on the East Bank, which is very suitable for farming. There is also a lot of arable land left. However, due to the lack of livestock and tools, less than 20% is used, but it also relies on it in the later period.

Eating sweet potatoes and potatoes, he barely maintained the food supply for several hundred people in the survivor team.

As for the north of the east bank, Wu Xin looked north, and the terrain was quite undulating. A little further away were the mountains in the north, and Pingding Mountain extended from there. There was only one rural road leading into the mountains.

Although the terrain in the mountains is rugged, there are several small villages and some cultivated land. What's more valuable is that it also has some mineral resources such as pyrite and coal mines.

After the end of the world, survivor groups have also been interested in these resources, but they are limited by production and transportation capabilities and cannot play their role.

Finally, the most eye-catching thing for Wu Xin in the north is the Lingchuan River Hydropower Dam. The dam is built at the mouth of the Lingchuan River. It relies on the rapid water potential to provide endless power to Lingchuan City. It will still be there even after the apocalypse.

Operation.

It's just that the survivor team at that time was unable to utilize it and could only watch this huge energy being wasted.

Energy, resources, geographical location, all the elements are gathered here. Although the terrain is narrow, what is most lacking after the end of the world is people rather than land. As long as there is a stable development space and strong production capacity, we can naturally seize more from mutant creatures.

of land.

As the apex of the earth's food chain for tens of thousands of years, humans have relied on productivity rather than genetic mutations!

"We won't go to the south bank of the Yangtze River, just stay here!" Wu Xin said firmly.

"The board of directors..." Han Junlin was naturally happy to see Wu Xin choose this place, but the board of directors had to let Wu Xin give his own explanation.

As long as Wu Xin fails to invest here and other shareholders suffer losses, Han Junlin can legitimately suppress Wu Xin for several more years. Although the plan to hollow out Shanhai Group will not work, it is acceptable to have the right to speak.

.

"I know that in order to reassure other shareholders, I plan to take responsibility..." Wu Xin pointed to a hillside with a radius of 100 meters adjacent to the Lingchuan River in the north of the highway and said: "I will build a villa there.

That will be my residence in Lingchuan, and then..."

Wu Xin turned around and pointed to another hillock that was slightly shorter but longer from north to south, about a mile east of the river, and said: "Build a luxury community between the villa and that place!"

According to Wu Xin's plan, after the completion of this "luxury community", it will be blocked by the unfinished buildings one to the south and the other to the north.

The reason why the base is not expanded based on those unfinished buildings is because these buildings are located to the south of the Lingchuan River Bridge Highway. The land there will be used as cultivated land in the future, while the terrain in the north is higher and the terrain is uneven.

The ups and downs are more suitable for building a base.

"It seems that you are still a young boy with little experience. He really thinks that you can rely on your status to make people pay the bill. I wish you could learn a lesson!" Han Junlin sneered in his heart.

Wu Xin saw Han Junlin's disapproving expression but said nothing. He smiled slightly and turned around and got in the car. The next step was to find professionals to help him design the base.

The car drove past the Lingchuan River Bridge and entered the old city. Everywhere we saw were low and mottled old buildings, row upon row heading south.

Even if the population gradually converges southward to the new city on the south bank of the river, there are still nearly 200,000 people living here, and two people who are of great significance to Wu Xin are also here.

Driving into the old city and entering a familiar old commercial street, Wu Xin stared at the shop signs on the street until a sign called "Liu's Restaurant" appeared.
