Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus-Chapter 1050 - 691: Third Outer City and Western Alliance Coordination

Half a month later.

East River.

As time passed, the flood gradually receded.

The cities along the banks of the Long River.

The flooded cities revealed a desolate and bleak picture.

As the flood waters receded, exposing the tattered cities, the human presence seemed to have vanished completely from these ruins.

The outer walls of buildings cracked, with marks of water and mud left on them.

Windows shattered, glass shards scattered on the ground, the once bustling streets converted into silent ruins. Electric poles leaned and fell, cables tangled in chaos, no current flowing, plunging the cities into darkness at night.

Silt and debris filled the streets, cars battered by the flood waters into broken and distorted shapes.

Empty streets showed no trace of pedestrians, no noise from vehicles, only the sound of the wind blowing through the derelict buildings.

A bleak scene mingled with an air of loneliness and helplessness, cities seemingly abandoned, lifeless.

Vegetation was also damaged by the flood. Trees toppled and withered, flower beds and parks submerged, leaving only remnant trunks and grass, evoking a sense of decay and silence.

Silt covered the ground like a layer of dead silence.

It was thick and turbid, engulfing the streets and building foundations, adding to the atmosphere of desolation and filth in the entire city.

Every step taken in the silt made a swallowing sound, eliciting feelings of heaviness and oppression.

In this silt-covered wasteland, zombies lurked.

They hid in derelict buildings, abandoned vehicles, and muddy pools, waiting for prey to appear.

Their bodies encased in silt, seemingly blending with the environment, making them hard to detect.

Some were stuck in the silt, motionless, like trapped in a swamp of death, while others crawled laboriously, attempting to seize any creature that neared.

It was a terrifying and dangerous scene, zombies and silt interwoven, forming a part of the ruins here.

For a long time, suddenly, on the top floor of a once famous landmark skyscraper before doomsday, a figure flashed by.

In the harsh environment, humans still managed to survive.

........

Big Camphor Tree Base.

Inner City Villa Hall.

Li Yu, Li Tie, Uncle, Second Uncle, Third Uncle, Ding Jiu, Old Lv and others were present.

The weekly routine meeting was held today.

The hall gathered the core forces of the base, discussing the next development plans for the base.

Second Uncle took the lead to speak: "Xiao Yu, now the Extra Staff and Cooperative Personnel in Outer City all want to leave the base; they want to go out and search for supplies as soon as possible, perform tasks to offset the grains they owe these days."

Li Yu thought for a while and said: "That's fine, after today's meeting, they can be let out. Moreover, half a year ago, we discussed building the Third Outer City, we can talk about it today.

As the number of people in Inner and Outer City increases, although with the current planting area, we can steadily supply grains, but to feed more people, we must increase the new planting area."

Li Hang spoke: "Brother, I and He Bing studied the construction of the Third Outer City and summarized a plan for fast construction.

It's just to build the Third Outer City with steel structures, like building blocks, the construction speed can be very fast.

Moreover, building houses with steel structures has many benefits: the first is light weight, about one-fifth of the brick-concrete structure. The second is the plate-rib structure system, good earthquake resistance. The third is good overall rigidity, strong deformation ability, good wind resistance. The fourth is using materials with good corrosion resistance, excellent durability...

So, I strongly recommend using steel structures for outer walls, even if installing half-meter thick steel plates inside the walls, the defense strength can be very strong!"

Li Yu frowned and said: "I've seen your construction design drawings, but, as I said before, steel structures are indeed fast, but the construction of the wall is a major affair, it must be considered from all aspects.

Not just fast speed and the benefits you mentioned, we also need to consider waterproof performance, etc.

That aside, just talk about this flood; if the water level of the flood is higher, we can still use the wall to resist the outer flood, giving us nearly thirty meters of height.

.....

The foundation is the same, it must be deep enough; with a ten-plus-meter foundation, using reinforced concrete is indeed somewhat wasteful, but it can ensure underground safety.

The wall is our barrier, it must be stable and safe enough.

I want this wall standing there, except for the ones flying in the sky, no animals, zombies, or humans can come in."

Third Uncle nodded in agreement and said: "I think the point Xiao Yu mentioned is very correct; if the wall is not so stable, we in the base would also feel uneasy, so although building with reinforced concrete is time-consuming, laborious, and material-consuming, it suits our current needs."

Li Yuan, who had been responsible for organizing various supplies in the base, turned on the iPad, raised a hand and said: "I've to report, currently the steel stocks in the base are still 231 tons. According to the previous usage for building the Second Outer City, it's barely enough, but if the construction area needs to be larger, then this steel is definitely not sufficient."
