After the heads of each province finished their reports, the elder leader's brows furrowed even tighter. After thinking for a moment, he said, "The soldiers in the major security zones come from different companies, with a small portion of militia reservists. After the reorganization is completed tomorrow, each security zone needs to re-muster its troops. The political instructors of each company must do a good job of ideological work to prevent emotional issues. At this critical juncture, there can be no trouble.
Furthermore, after the reorganization, each security zone needs to prioritize the collection of food and medicine, as well as weapons and ammunition. Food must first ensure the sustenance of civilians and soldiers within the security zone. The broadcast has already announced that rescue will commence in three days. Make good use of this time to catch your breath and ensure that the civilians within the base are properly settled. We must develop productivity, and the military and civilians must be united as one!"
The heads of the major security zones immediately saluted and replied loudly,
"We guarantee the completion of the mission!"
The elder leader paced for a moment and said, "In addition, for those security zones that can still operate transport planes and helicopters, they need to be inventoried. The intelligence department also needs to use the recently obtained positioning map to clarify the locations of survivors that transport planes can reach from each security zone, whether they are gathered or scattered. Submit a report to me within seven days, without any perfunctory effort! Also, security management within each security zone and civil defense base needs to be carried out immediately. Any violations of laws and crimes will be severely punished!
Comrades, the anti-biological warfare campaign has begun. This is a protracted war, and we must be prepared for a long struggle! I implore you all!"
After the elder leader finished speaking, he gave a very solemn salute to all the representatives.
Everyone in the conference room stood up, whether present in person or on satellite video, their expressions incredibly serious.
"Please rest assured, Leader, we will definitely win this anti-biological warfare!"
Lin Yuan, naturally, did not know what was happening in the distant Liaodong Peninsula. He was currently washing bowls and cups with boiled water. These were containers that could hold water and needed to be cleaned thoroughly.
Time quickly passed until nine o'clock. All the containers in the house that could hold water, except for the rice cooker and plates, had been filled with boiled water. The water supply might stop in two or three days, possibly earlier or later. Before that, a considerable amount of drinking water needed to be stored. The county town had a large population, meaning more zombies, and collecting supplies in the future would not be easy.
The electric pressure cooker, which had been busy all night, finally got a rest, but Lin Yuan hadn't eaten yet.
Tonight, he would have instant noodles with some snacks.
After tidying up the somewhat messy kitchen, he covered the water-filled buckets and bottles with various lids and placed them in a cool, dry place to prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
He placed the instant noodles, which contained a sausage and a braised egg in pickled cabbage beef soup, on the computer desk. As he pulled over a chair to sit down, he suddenly remembered something, got up, and collected two fully charged power banks, a small electric drill battery, and a storage battery.
The small electric drill battery and storage battery were placed in the toolbox. The two power banks were on the bookshelf above the computer. One of them was a solar power bank, but it only had one panel. He had bought it for fun before, but now he realized how useful it was.
Charging under the bright sun was still decent, but the speed was slower under other lighting conditions.
He then put the printed documents together with the plan and material list, stuffing them into a file bag for easy access.
Only then did he sit back down in his chair, pick up his phone, and the map had been downloaded. Under the unstable network conditions, it had taken nearly four hours.
He transferred the map to a USB drive and put it in the file bag where he had placed the documents, his mind contemplating future plans.
Although many plans surfaced, he felt none were satisfactory and the clutter in his mind made him uncomfortable, so he simply stopped thinking.
He slowly ate his instant noodles, looking at the apps that were still sending out information. Some of their servers had been damaged and had crashed. Some were still running, but he figured they wouldn't last much longer. Even the Penguin chat was showing signs of lag.
He scrolled through the pages, trying to find some useful information, but it was all repetitive content and some disgusting and cruel pictures. To avoid wasting his dinner, he didn't click on them.
