Chapter 349: Revealing news about the herd
The base director lives on the 6th floor now.
Ye Wei and Zhao Lei used to live on the fifth floor.
It has been several days since we came here. This is the first time for Han Ying and Lu Yuan to enter this building.
The inside of the building was very clean, and there was no accumulation of garbage or debris in the corridors and stairs of other floors along the way.
It was very possible that Ye Wei and Zhao Lei had cleaned it before, of course, it was also possible that it was cleaned up after the large army arrived.
Arriving at the innermost door 603, Ye Wei knocked on the door twice.
Soon the door was opened, and the base director Ke Zin was standing inside the door.
"After more than twenty days, we meet again, come in and sit down!"
Ke Zin opened the door and invited Han Ying and Lu Yuan in.
After Ye Wei sent the person there, he saluted Ke Zin and left.
"The base looks great."
Both of them said hello to Ke Zin before walking in.
"Don't be so polite. There is no base commander now. When you come here, everything will start again."
"How's it going? Is your journey here going smoothly?"
Ke Zin let the two of them in. There was also an old-looking wooden sofa in the living room.
Ke Zin has walked this road from Pengcheng base to Jiangcheng three times.
He basically remembered the traffic conditions of these three times.
So when he came this time and saw the different road conditions from before, he could guess that it would be difficult for Han Ying and the others to go this time.
Especially the pile of blackened and rotting rat corpses on the road dozens of kilometers away from the Pengcheng base.
He didn't believe that tens of thousands of rats would die on the road so easily.
Judging from the marks, he was either crushed to death by a heavy object or burned to death by fire.
When he saw the corpses of tens of thousands of rats, Corzin's first reaction was not to feel disgusted, but to feel scared.
If this large number of rats did not die here, but migrated all the way towards the base.
Or did they encounter it on the road when they came here this time?
That would be an absolute disaster!
Ke Zin guessed that those rat corpses were 80% likely to have been killed by Han Ying and the others.
As for how they were able to kill so many rats, Ke Zin didn't want to explore that much.
"It's not bad. No matter what happens on the road, we have a total of nine people and one dog in the car, and we have to reach Jiangcheng in full."
Han Ying picked up a handful of glutinous rice balls sitting next to her and said.
"Thank you for your hard work. If it hadn't been for your efforts this time, I'm afraid the large army would not have reached Jiangcheng so smoothly this time."
He has walked this more than 3 kilometers of road three times. No one knows better than him how difficult it is for the advance troops.
"Thank you for your praise. By the way, I wonder what's going on with the plague in Pengcheng now?"
It has been more than 20 days since Han Ying and the others left the Pengcheng base, and they no longer know the situation there.
"It's very pessimistic, so after some repairs here, the army plans to go back tomorrow night to pick up the second transfer."
"The road conditions are getting better and better. I believe this trip should be quick."
"And we have found another road. We will take that way when we go back tomorrow night. If everything goes well, we will save one less mountain and save more than a hundred kilometers of distance."
Gasoline is very precious now. If the fleet can save more than 100 kilometers of distance, how much gas can be saved?
"What a good thing, which mountain is it?"
Along the way here, we circled two mountains in total.
Han Ying and the others also found a herd of cattle on the first Yincui Mountain.
"Yincui Mountain, if this trip back goes well, we can save the need to circle around Yincui Mountain."
As he spoke, Corzine took out a map and showed them the newly discovered road.
"If everything goes smoothly from here, it will indeed save a long detour."
"But speaking of Yincui Mountain, base commander, when you came here, did you find anything on the mountain?"
Han Ying pointed to Yincui Mountain on the map and asked Ke Zin.
"Yincui Mountain? Apart from the dead trees all over the mountain, you didn't find anything there?"
Ke Zin knew that Han Ying would ask this, and there must be something going on over there.
"When we passed through Yincui Mountain, we found a herd of cattle there, and we even shot one."
The environment is getting worse and worse, and it is estimated that it will be increasingly difficult for the few remaining cows to survive.
If they can be found here at the base, it would be better to capture them and raise them than to leave them on the mountain to starve to death.
"Cows? Are you serious?"
Hearing Han Ying's words, Ke Zin stood up from the sofa.
"Of course it's true! And there should be at least two bulls and one cow over there, all of them adult cows."
Lu Yuan assured.
"Great, no, I can't take a new road this time, I'd better go back and take Yincui Mountain!"
Hearing that there were bulls and cows, Corzine immediately changed his mind.
You can't blame him for being too excited. There were cows in the base, but before he came to Jiangcheng, the farm said something happened to the cows, and those cows might not survive.
The farm has worked very hard to take care of it, but something happened to those cows.
The base still expects them to breed. If something happens, where will they find breeding cattle?
Unexpectedly, Han Ying and the others were so lucky that they could encounter cattle in the mountains!
So no matter what, I have to go back to that mountain and look for it again.
"We previously found a small puddle in a cave about three-fifths of the way down. You can look there. The cattle are likely to go there to drink water."
The cow and calf that Han Ying sent into space before were found in that cave.
So let them look there, maybe they will find something.
"Okay, if we really find the cow, I will give you a big credit!"
Ke Zin laughed. He smiled and suddenly thought of something, "By the way, I almost forgot. Did you meet a disabled person on the road?"
After hearing Ke Zin's words, Han Ying and Lu Yuan glanced at each other, and instantly thought of Zhuang Zi.
"Did he come with the large army?"
Han Ying got the mutated soybean pods from Zhuang Zi, so she left him a message.
He said that an official motorcade would pass by in a short time, so that if he wanted to leave that place, he could find a way to attract the attention of the officials.
It seems that Zhuang Zi has made a decision.
"Yes, he also lives in this building now, on the 7th floor, living with us soldiers."
"He said there was a man and a woman with a big dog. I immediately thought it was you two."
Ke Zin glanced at the big dog sitting next to Han Ying.
This iconic big dog has now become the living signature of Han Ying and Lu Yuan.
