The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 144: Some Trivia

"Okay, give this brat some sweetness."

Following Boss Li's words, everyone stopped discussing.

One of the men dressed as a secretary asked, "How much of a reward should we give him?"

Boss Li thought for a moment and said, "Then let's lower the exchange price by 10%, but we need to let him hold on for a while. Lowering the price too quickly will backfire."

After Boss Li finished speaking, everyone looked unhappy.

Boss Li comforted them, "These things are meant to keep everyone safe. We don't need these weapons, so exchanging them for much-needed food is not a loss."

"Also, the domestic situation has been very bad recently. The populous country in the south is constantly attacking the domestic defense line. If it is breached, the consequences will be disastrous."

"It's better to plan for this kind of thing early."

"If that day ever comes, we'll be like a lost dog. Perhaps we'll need to take root here, and then we'll need local forces like Zhou Nan."

"If Zhou Nan's character is good enough, then we need to befriend him no matter what. Instead of cooperating with these white people, I prefer to cooperate with people of the same clan and origin."

Since Boss Li had already spoken, and his words made sense, everyone agreed.

Zhang Rang in the crowd showed a look of dissatisfaction, but he still raised his hand along with everyone else.

He has always supported the collaboration with Woodbury.

However, since he was threatened by Boss Li last time, he no longer dared to openly oppose Boss Li, and he has become smarter.

At this moment, he still hadn't given up his idea. He was racking his brains to think about how to make everyone change their minds.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up.

"If these guys in the prison are eliminated, wouldn't it be a natural progression to cooperate with Woodbury?"

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was feasible!

After all, they are in urgent need of food and will definitely seek cooperation with a certain force, otherwise they will starve to death!

Now Woodbury is at war with the Nighthawks.

If they knew that all this was done by the people in the prison, then these two families would definitely choose to eliminate this group of people in the prison first!

"But how should I pass the message on?" Zhang Rang racked his brains to think about this problem, and he had a headache at the moment.

Long Yi finally reached a consensus with Zhou Nan.

In the end, Long Yi successfully started cooperation with Zhou Nan at a 10% discount on the original selling price.

However, this 10% discount is not so easy to get, and Long Yi also told him the unfair terms that Boss Li had prepared long ago.

The prerequisite for trading food with other survivor groups must be that Boss Li has sufficient food supply.

Simply put, these foods need to be sold to Boss Li first. Only when Boss Li is no longer short of food, Zhou Nan has the right to sell the food to others.

It seems a bit unreasonable, but in fact it has no effect on Zhou Nan. It is just that he will sell it to Boss Li first.

The cooperation was reached and both parties were happy, so there was naturally no need for Long Yi to stay here.

He left Long San as a substitute, and he and Long Er left.

"Zhou Nan, if you need to contact us for anything, you can talk to Long San. We don't have radio calls."

"I'll have to trouble you a lot with the food!"

Before leaving, Long Yi secretly turned off the communicator and then said a few words to Zhou Nan.

At the end, Long Yi said meaningfully.

"This Woodbury, you'd better get rid of them as soon as possible, but that doesn't mean you should kill them all. Sometimes people are also a very important resource."

"This is my advice to you. If you don't want any more trouble, you must get rid of Woodbury as soon as possible!"

Zhou Nan didn't understand why Long Yi had changed so much.

At the beginning, Long Yi seemed to be speaking for Woodbury; but now, his attitude has taken a 180-degree turn, and from what he said, he is very determined to destroy Woodbury.

However, destroying Woodbury was also one of Zhou Nan's plans. What Long Yi said did not contradict Zhou Nan's thoughts, and Zhou Nan also said that he would consider Long Yi's words.

After Long Yi left, Zhou Nan also expanded the size of the exploration team.

That afternoon, Zhou Nan sent out two more teams.

Basically all the young and middle-aged men who could be sent out have been used up, and most of those left in the prison are people who are not very strong.

Zhou Nan had to plunder all the surrounding resources as quickly as possible, because they would need to rely entirely on the land to survive for a long time, so food reserves were particularly important.

Zhou Nan didn't want to leave any resources for the survivors around him. If they ate more, Zhou Nan and his group would have less to eat.

Zhou Nan suggested that they try their luck somewhere else.

As for the environment, Zhou Nan sent people to disinfect the prison every day. With the population exceeding one hundred, hygiene is an important issue. He does not want the plague to spread in the prison.

The invisible plague makes people feel despair and fear just thinking about it.

Hannah was particularly proactive tonight, which made Zhou Nan very confused, but he still accepted it with pleasure.

The next day, Chase asked Zhou Nan to send more people via radio, because two vehicles could not hold all the supplies in the cold storage!

For some reason, Zoe volunteered to go over and help Chase. Bill and his friends had nothing to do, so they decided to go out with Zoe to exercise.

Zhou Nan was still very confident about the protagonists of this wave of survival and agreed to their request.

At noon the next day, three days after the full-scale conflict between Woodbury and the Nighthawks broke out, Dale returned.

His return was shocking because he actually formed a RV team!

With these vehicles, one line of defense of the prison can be formed, which can relieve the pressure on the barbed wire and also reclaim wasteland in the encircled area.

In order to avoid some emergencies, Zhou Nan decided to burn some earth bricks and reinforce the vehicles to provide double insurance.

In this way, some people prepared to reclaim wasteland, and some people prepared to make earthen bricks according to the method provided by Zhou Nan.

The method of firing earthen bricks is very simple. Although Zhou Nan doesn't know how to do it, the data backed up in Zhou Nan's mobile phone has records of it.

First, you need to select clay suitable for firing. After it is piled up in the open air and decomposed naturally, it is crushed and sieved by hand to retain only fine pure soil.

Next, pure soil and water are mixed and refined repeatedly to make thick mud.

Then, the thick mud is filled into wooden molds, compacted and demoulded to form bricks, which are then placed in a sunny place to dry to prevent cracks and deformation.

The dried bricks are put into the kiln for firing, and the fire and temperature are controlled well, and fired for 10-12 hours.

After firing, the bricks are taken out of the kiln and allowed to cool naturally.

Just as everyone was building the earthen kiln, Glenn's voice came from the radio on Zhou Nan's waist, and gunshots continued to be heard in the background.

"The Nighthawks have sent a lot of new members, and they're already clashing with the Woodbury guys. It seems like the Governor is having a hard time handling them."

"But the Governor has not retreated yet. He seems to have other plans."

Zhou Nan's eyes lit up. The best outcome he was waiting for was that both sides would suffer losses, so that he could take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Now success or failure depends on this one move.

How can stable development be faster than robbing and looting?

If the business is well managed, Zhou Nan can easily take over the fat piece of meat of Woodbury.

Zhou Nan signaled everyone to continue with their work, while he planned to go to the scene to take a look in person.

However, Zhou Nan was not the only one watching there, Zhang Rang, a subordinate of Boss Li, was also paying attention.

It's just that one person wants them to fight, the harder the better.

One man wants them to stop fighting and attack the prison together.
