Due to the lack of transportation capacity, the entire stone-carrying operation lasted a total of one and a half days. Even Lao Xu himself could not remember how many times he traveled between the stone storage site and the station.
But no matter what, their team finally transported all the red bricks from the stone storage area back intact.
And with this batch of bricks, the large-scale construction plan for the station has been settled.
When Lao Zhao, Wang Qiang, and Tang Xiaoquan decided that the village would be the second shelter, they went out to get supplies.
These include yellow sand and other construction materials. Although the quantity is not very large, we can start working on it at least.
Water is indispensable for building a wall, and to completely surround an entire village of 20 households, a large amount of water is needed.
The water supply has been cut off for a long time, and most of the survivors rely on melted snow, mineral water and other materials collected earlier for daily water use.
Therefore, if they rely on these things to build walls, then they will not be able to live a good life.
Fortunately, the survivors encountered a pond along the way.
The pond is not dry now due to accumulation of rain and snow.
But because it is stagnant water, it is too dangerous to use the water source, but it is perfect if it is used to build a wall with sand.
In order to bring back as much water as possible, Lao Xu specially ordered the carpenter Yue Guishan to build a vessel that could carry water.
In view of the urgency of Lao Xu's urging, Yue Guishan, who didn't have much time, flexibly dragged out the "chest of drawers", the most valuable piece of furniture in the village.
Putting aside obstructions such as drawers on the front, Yue Guishan opened a big opening for the cook.
Then he found a certain camping tent and "removed the skin and tendons" to remove the top fabric.
The fabric is waterproof and can be laid into the kitchen groove to store water.
After finishing it, Yue Guishan simply sewed and handed the finished product to Lao Xu.
Everyone worked together to lift the water storage device into the trunk of the JAC, and it survived. The size and length were very suitable.
The only regret is that after loading this product into the carriage, it is a little difficult to load people.
"Wei Dazhuang! Wang Qiang! Hua Biao! Li Xiaoxin! The four of you follow me!" Lao Xu acted vigorously and resolutely. He directly called a few people to get in the car and set off.
With so many things to worry about, Lao Xu is undoubtedly the one who is most worried about the team at the moment.
There was no way, what happened at the Yuhuan Stadium was a pain he could not forget, and he did not want or let the same thing happen to his team again.
The pond is not very far from the station. It's much closer than Cun Shi Di.
It only takes about 10 minutes to drive there, but the bumpy country road really makes the "passengers" in the car suffer a lot.
"Haha, company commander, when we stabilize from now on, we need to straighten out the rules for entry and exit." Hua Biao said with a hint of joking.
But as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention. Hua Biao's joke sounded thoughtful, but Lao Xu took it to heart.
After all, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Even though doomsday is approaching, the issue of wealth is no longer something that humans need to consider.
But there is a good road, which will be quite useful in the future whether it is transporting supplies or escaping from disasters.
Therefore, Lao Xu nodded almost subconsciously.
The car drove steadily and it didn't take much time. The familiar pond appeared in front of Lao Xu.
The pond is quite large. Judging from its location, it should have been a fish pond built by nearby villagers before the apocalypse broke out.
It's a pity that there are no fish now, otherwise the survivors can make up some and go home to try something new.
"Let's do it!"
Considering the weight and manpower issues, the survivors gave up the idea of moving the water tank into the car.
However, everyone can still bear its current weight. But when it is fully loaded with water, it is definitely not something that the five people of Lao Xu can easily lift.
If the sink cannot be removed, the installation efficiency will be greatly reduced.
If anyone were passing by at this moment, they would definitely be surprised by the feats of the five great men.
Going back and forth, getting on and off the bus, Lao Xu and his team members were holding a big basin and mechanically repeating the same thing.
At the same time, Lao Zhao, who was stationed there, also began to prepare for the wall.
because. Bi Dahu and Yue Guishan had both worked at the construction site, so Lao Zhao specially arranged for them to be the deputy foreman, after a brief explanation. He then ordered the two of them to pick up people and shake the mud.
With these small steps, the construction of the survivor camp has officially begun.
"Hey, Da Zhuang, how full is the tank left?"
"Thumb length!"
"OK, that's almost it. After everyone is done pretending, let's call it a day and go home."
The sink is uncapped. The road was bumpy along the way, and the final result was a waste of water.
Coupled with the fact that it was getting late, Lao Xu gave the order to return after weighing the left and right.
Everyone enjoyed dinner, which was a wonderful feeling.
Although survivors would find the food particularly delicious after working in the past, the feeling is still very different from now.
Yes, this feeling is of course different, because this is the first time they have truly worked together for their home.
Taking advantage of the meal time, Lao Xu arranged work for tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, Lao Zhao will continue to lead people to build the wall. Da Zhuang, Qiangzi, Huabiao, Li Xiaoxin, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Luo follow me to the community. Oh, and Xiao De, you are responsible for leading the way. Do you have any questions? "
"No!" Hua Biao and others responded simply.
After Derek comforted Demi, he also responded in the affirmative.
Only Luo Baochun was hemming and hawing.
"Xiao Luo, what's the matter? Say what you have to say." Lao Xu is not a person who likes to be pretentious. His name is Luo Baochun. The main reason is that there are available cars along the way, so he happened to ask him to check them and bring them back if they can be used.
After all, fuel is limited, so if you can do what is feasible at once, there is no need to divide it into two times.
Luo Baochun seemed to have something unspeakable, and he apologized for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Lao Xu, I may not be able to go with you tomorrow?"
Looking at each other, Luo Baochun's words were somewhat unexpected.
Especially Wenquan Xin, as the introducer who brought Luo Baochun into the team, the other party's answer at this moment really made Wenquan Xin feel unhappy.
No wonder, since the team was established, no one has ever refused to participate in team actions, so it is reasonable for everyone to be shocked by Luo Baochun's behavior.
"Hey, Fatty! What's going on with you? Why can't you go out with the team?"
After fighting in the apocalypse for a long time, a person's temperament will inevitably change. Wenquan Xin thought that he was an honest and easy-going child back then.
But with more killings, there is also a bit more irritability in the bones.
He didn't think much and just released his dissatisfaction.
Facing Wenquan Xin's questioning, Luo Baochun, who was already embarrassed to the point of looking for a hole in the ground, was even more at a loss at this moment.
Looking at Luo Baochun, whose face was glowing red, Lao Zhao stepped forward to the rescue at the right time. (To be continued.)
