114 3.05.19 – Daisy – Downfall of Humanity
The criminality rate in these past two days increased immeasurably. Most people were hiding in the safety of their houses. The more paranoid ones would take this time to loot nearby factories. Searching up the net, they would go for factories with food, beverages, clothes, and weapons.
Those looking for a safe place would think that islands and ships would be the best choices, not thinking it through, those islands were going to be one of the most dangerous as everyone would try to fight over them. Islands rich in resources were housed by the military, which in the future, would shot down whoever who would try to get near the island.
Luckily, there were still people with responsibilities, electricity, army, and healthcare continued to function as before.

After two hours...
One after another, armored personnel carriers and logistics military trucks appeared in... a concrete precast factory?!
Connected to the main road by a small side road, the concrete factory supplied all the nearby cities with its precast materials. (Precast concrete = a concrete product that is designed and prepared offsite. The construction product would then arrive on site, ready for fast installation.)
They drove towards the parking lot with four trucks, of which three of them were SWAT trucks.
When the most hated person in the world jumped out of her old vehicle, with a snake floating around her, everyone on the scene tried to hold themselves back, not to kill her on the spot. They feared her at the same time, because who knew? She could nuke the whole world if she wanted! How could someone nuke something, when those weapons and bases were specifically designed to prevent such things as being hacked from happening? What they meant... Bing Shi could nuke the world by waging world war between the countries!
.....
Following next to her were the SWAT team of twelve, not wearing their helmet; one of them was easily recognized as a second person who caught Bing Shi’s interest.
Ren Han, seeing the glaring soldiers, grinned. Those gazes were the same like the ones in his previous world. Ignoring Kuro, he spoke to the person next to him, “Can’t wait to see their gazes tomorrow.”
The girl hiding under the gas mask smiled, “Me too. How come you accepted the apocalypse so fast?”
Ren Han continued to enjoy their hateful gazes, “Because that’s what I’d do too.”
‘Funny, because I thought about what would Xuan Mu do in my stead.’
Raising her hand, Bing Shi waved at the handsome Yi Zen in front of her. Not wasting time, she led everyone inside a massive, corrugated, metal building.
Switching on the lights, she connected her tablet to a projector and started to describe her plan, “We are going to build something in one day. For a better imagination, I drew a simple model.”
On the screen, a circular, concrete structure was shown. The precast base was 120m in diameter and 10m in height. The towering walls were hight and thick with no windows and doors. Bing Shi was inspired by the water tanks used to store a high amount of water.

“...That...” Everyone looked at her if she was crazy, “...One day?!”
Bing Shi took a stack of papers from her backpack and gave them to five random people to handle them to others, “No worries. Each wall and components were precast in this factory. Your job will be to place them up on the foundation and connect them with bolts. I’ll teach how to use a crane to Ren Han and Yi Zen and two excavate machines to whoever wants to take the post. Ten will help to coordinate the cranes. Twenty of you need to learn how to build scaffoldings and fences. Twenty of you’ll take a job in logistics. Twenty of you will build up tents inside the walls. Five’ll take posts as my assistants. As for the rest...you are going to heave the most favorite job in construction sides... digging. No skills and brain needed, haha! Any questions? If not le...”
“How do we get inside the walls?” One of the soldiers asked.
Bing Shi sent him a thumbs up, “Good question.” She showed him a few examples, “The entrance is going to be under the ground level. To save time, we are going to use precast pipes, they are 2,4m in diameter, enough for you to evacuate effortlessly. At the end of the entrance, there will be a concrete lid with a manhole.”

When Bing Shi said to Yi Zen that the amount of money she made daily was nothing, it was a truth. In the beginning, she couldn’t even buy one concrete wall. When she came with the plan two weeks after her arrival, she had no money and had to resolve it by stealing money from the public enemy number two, Ma Jie.
Buying land with a suitable topography wasn’t an easy matter, so instead of buying, Bing Shi rented a land. On paper, it could only be used as a storage for rented machines and materials. Everything was under a facade of building water storage.
Because there were many stocked lands like these around the country, afraid of authorities, Bing Shi could only start building the walls on the last day. She took this chance to teach all the soldiers. Like this, during the apocalypse, a team of people could build an offensive base. With proper coordination, it could be finished in one day, at most two days.
Yes, offensive.
Its primary purpose was to lure in zombies from nearby cities. Having 360° view around the base and using the advantage of height, it’s easier for soldiers to headshot zombies, saving them lots of energy, time, and ammunition.
After a brief presentation, Bing Shi hopped on her truck and led them towards the land. It was at a distance of a football field from the factory. Steel fences protected the equipment and material, which was covered by a plastic cover. Opening the backdoor of her truck, Bing Shi asked her new assistants for help. They took out six portable solar lights, two solar power generators, her tent, a bike, and a desk with a whiteboard. Leaving some stocks behind.
