The evildoers from the prison compound hadn’t moved all the resources from the storage depot. There was a good portion of the resources stored in a secret underground chamber that also hadn’t been discovered by them. It was possible that the evildoers didn’t even find the entrance to the secret underground storage chamber and so they never knew of its existence.
With this new group that killed the evildoers, they treated the females nicely, gave them food, and treated everyone humanely. The females were even given full freedom within the compound, and were able to regain their human dignity. With the overwhelming feeling of wanting to repay the kindness back to Liu Gan for saving them, the females decided to reveal the location of the secret chamber to the squad leader, contributing, in the form of resources, back to the group.
Now that Liu Gan knew of a secret chamber, Liu Gan could’ve easily formed a squad to check out the situation. He could’ve easily sent Zhang Hua and his squad to investigate, but in the end Liu Gan decided to go personally. He had his own reasons for doing so. Due to the convenient location of the storage depot located at the foot of the mountain of Green Station Mountain, Liu Gan wanted to take a stroll. This way Liu Gan and Yin He could go up Green Station Mountain to see if they could activate the secret laboratory.
“Elder Liu, if this prison compound will be our long term stronghold, I have a suggestion,” Zhang ShengLi stopped Liu Gan by the entrance gate just before the investigation squad left.
“What suggestion?” Liu Gan replied to Zhang ShengLi.
“We could recruit more people. We can have these people dig a trench right outside of the high wall. Just like the way they do it for the cities in ancient times. Then, to enter or leave the city, we will lower a drawbridge. This way our defense in the compound can be increased tremendously. No matter if it were enemies or zombies, it would be difficult to attack their way in,” Zhang ShengLi explained the plan he had thought of.
“This idea isn’t bad at all. It is just that it sounds like a large construction. What will the material for the drawbridge be made from? There will be cars that come in and out of the compound, often carrying personnel or cargo,” Liu Gan replied to Zhang ShengLi, after thinking for awhile.
“Yeah, that is a problem. I still have to think long and hard about it,” Zhang ShengLi laughing it off. That was when Zhang ShengLi realizes that he didn’t think about the details and suggested it too prematurely.
“If we do turn this prison compound into our long term stronghold, what you suggested will work, but there are a lot of technical difficulties. We would need to find someone who could understand the technical aspects to plan it,” Liu Gan didn’t disapprove of Zhang ShengLi’s suggestion.
If the material mechanics expert Zhou MingLiang was still alive, he would be best for this situation. Unfortunately, he made the mistake of following Xu ChangHui to die. Liu Gan arrived there too late, but if he had gotten there earlier, then Zhou MingLiang could have been saved.
“Yeah. We are going to be doing nothing around here anyway, I will set up a stronghold improvement group. This way we could chime in ideas and turn those ideas into reality,” Zhang ShengLi was so glad that his proposal had gotten approval.
