"The day after tomorrow, that is, starting from January 1, 2011, we will launch a large-scale search operation."

Makino said, gesturing for everyone to look at the huge projector map on the wall.

"Zerbillon is located in the west-central part of Georgia, with Atlanta to the north, Macon to the southeast, and countless small towns of various sizes nearby."

The map shows several places circled in red.

"These are some nearby places with some size and search value. They are also our main targets next. There are likely to be survivors there. The development of the base cannot be separated from huge human resources, and the continuation of civilization is even more inseparable.

Open up the crowd.”

"Sean, you and Andrea, T-boy, you three will go to Hogansville and LaGrange to search."

"Mitchon, you, Daryl, and Glenn, as a group, go to Barnesville and Forsyth to search."

"Rick, you, Moore, and Carol, as a group, go to Thomaston and Manchester to search."

Makino looked at everyone: "You should know what to do after you find survivors during the search. There are no good people who have survived until now..."

Time always flies by so fast, and more than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

February 2, 2011

After this period of development, the combat personnel of the Ark Base have increased to more than 60 people, led by Rick, Carol, Michonne, and Daryl.

After this period of running-in, the four teams have also developed their own combat characteristics.

For example, Rick and Sean's team are better at frontal assault combat, while the team led by Carol and Andrea focus on long-range and precise sniping. Needless to say, Michonne's team is very good at using long knives at close range.

They fought at a distance, while the teams of brothers Daryl and Moore used crossbows as weapons for guerrilla warfare.

The total population in the base has reached more than 300 people. With united efforts, the third phase of Zebilun's home plan has been completely completed.

And at Makino's suggestion, most of the courses in elementary and middle schools were deliberately restored, so that more children can learn basic necessary knowledge.

At the same time, Griffin's branch base has completely established a foothold in the local area, and the number of students in Oster's tank and aircraft training class is increasing.

The most important thing is that the grain processing plants, oil and fat factories, sugar industry plants, brewing plants, and even paper mills and garment factories around Griffin have resumed operation in small areas.

Although there are only one or two production lines, they are barely enough.

In addition, Makino vigorously organized the masses to reclaim farmland for large-scale crop planting, various greenhouse vegetables, greenhouse fruits, soilless cultivation, anyway, everything that can be thought of was put into action, allowing hundreds of people to eat the freshest food every day

vegetable.

Meat includes chickens, ducks, geese, cattle and sheep. Although the number is not large now, it cannot be continuously provided for everyone to eat. But with the reproduction speed of poultry, as long as it reaches a large scale, there is no need to worry. Forget about livestock, there will be few babies.

It grew slowly, and what made Makino dumbfounded was that all the cows Sean brought back at that time were all cows, not a single male. Fortunately, there were both males and females among the sheep.

But even so, the food self-sufficiency in the second stage of the main line has not been completed. It may be that we have to wait until the food in the farmland matures and there is enough food in storage before we can be truly self-sufficient!

Today is New Year's Eve

The entire base and Zebilun are all a festive red, with all kinds of lanterns, stickers, and large lanterns, all arranged according to Makino's instructions. With the heavy snow outside, the New Year atmosphere is quite strong.

This is his first year in this world, and Makino is still preparing very carefully.

For example, he is currently teaching Rick and the others in the kitchen how to make dumplings. The fillings of the dumplings are leek, eggs and cabbage and rabbit meat.

"Look, first like this, then like this, and finally like this, the dumplings are ready."

Makino demonstrated how to wrap one, and Rick and the rest of the older men looked a little confused. However, Carole, Lori, and the others learned quickly and have now begun to wrap it.

"Lori, have you learned it?"

Rick looked at his wife, making dumplings is so difficult, can you learn it after just one look?

Luo Li smiled and said: "Well, what's so difficult about this? Look, first like this, then like this, and finally pinch them together like this. Isn't it good?"

"this.…"

Rick said that he was even more confused, but when he saw how different Moore and Daryl were wearing T-shirt bags, he suddenly felt more balanced. Fortunately, I am not the only one who can't do it.

"Andrea, do you understand? If not, I'll do it again in slow motion."

Sean, who was sitting next to Andrea, was teaching her how to make dumplings. Not to mention, Sean was pretty good at making dumplings.

Andrea, who has a fiery personality, nodded awkwardly and shyly, "Then you can do it in slow motion and I'll see. I'll learn it soon."

Good guy, now you can make a dumpling and just roll it inward?

There is strength in numbers. Dozens of people worked together to make dumplings, and finally all the dumplings for nearly 400 people were made before dark.

Those who pack extra bags are thinking about people with big appetites, so as not to have enough to eat on New Year's Eve, which is funny.

In the square of the base, there were more than 40 tables with ten people per table. Everyone had a steaming dumpling in front of them, as well as vinegar and chili oil.

"Everyone, New Year's Eve is the last night of the lunar calendar in the year, also known as "Sui Shu", which means that the old year has ended and the new year is about to arrive.

In the East, people believe that New Year's Eve is of great significance. Therefore, on this day, no matter how far away the wanderers are, they will rush back to reunite with their families on New Year's Eve. People will also hang lanterns and post Spring Festival couplets on New Year's Eve to stay up late and have reunion dinners.

Dinner is waiting to welcome the arrival of the new year. Today we are gathered together. Let’s toast to the beginning of the new year!”

Makino stood up and delivered a speech, then raised his wine glass high.

"Cheers!"×n

Everyone toasted to celebrate, then started eating dumplings and gossiping.

At the same time, a stage was set up in the open space, and some people with various skills volunteered to perform on the stage. Every time they reached a wonderful point, the crowd cheered and shouted.

Late at night~

At the moment when the clock struck zero o'clock, Moore and the others, who had been prepared long ago, lit the fuses of the fireworks at the same time.

Suddenly...

Boom~pop~

Boom boom boom~ bang bang bang~

Brilliant colorful fireworks bloom one after another in the sky, like the most stunning flowers.

Beautiful fireworks illuminated the entire base, and couples and lovers among the crowd below hugged and kissed each other.

In fact, it is still very dangerous to do this. After all, it is the end of the world. Setting off fireworks in such a big way can easily attract the walking dead.

But now, there are no traces of the walking dead in Zebilun, even in several surrounding towns, or even within a radius of 100 kilometers.
