Jiangcheng is located in the northeast, and the black land is also called Beidacang. Dozens of kilometers away from Jiangcheng is the national grain depot, which is also the destination of this trip.
The motorcade was speeding through the country roads.
Both sides of the road were desolate and overgrown with weeds. In just half a month, they had grown several meters tall. Even some weeds had spread on the road. Even where car accidents occurred, abandoned vehicles were covered with moss.
In the passenger seat of the heavy truck, Zheng Wei said earnestly:
"Winter will begin in one month. Not only food reserves, cotton clothes and quilts, these are the most difficult supplies at the moment."
Chen Tiansheng said while driving:
"It's less than a month. It's not like before. Look at the sky. Didn't you notice that the temperature dropped very quickly during this period after the catastrophe?"
Zheng Wei asked in surprise:
"You mean, acid rain also affects the climate?"
Chen Tiansheng said something irrelevant.
"It's not affecting the climate, but the earth is recovering. It's just that this climate is not beneficial to humans."
Zheng Wei did not respond, frowned and said:
"In other words, winter has started earlier and the preparation of cotton-padded clothes and quilts has to be accelerated, which is really a headache."
Chen Tiansheng smiled and comforted:
"Actually, you should be lucky. Winter is coming soon. If it were summer, mutated flies, mosquitoes, and mutated beasts in the zoo could easily kill all of us!"
Zheng Wei took a breath.
"Yes, many animals have to hibernate, not counting large animals. The four pests of insects are enough to give us a headache. But if we can survive the winter, what will we do next spring?"
Chen Tiansheng said nonchalantly:
"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Mutated animals have to hibernate, but humans don't. We train them when they sleep. When they wake up, the overall strength of human beings will be greatly improved. As long as we are careful, we will not be afraid of mosquitoes and flies. "
After saying this, Zheng Wei felt more at ease. After thinking about it carefully, he still felt that Chen Tiansheng thought about everything. Compared with the commander-in-chief, Chen Tiansheng seemed to be more of a qualified leader.
The convoy turned majestically, and there was a fence in front of it. As it rushed forward, you could see the condition of the fence. Fences, barbed wire, and steel plates were sealed, and every loophole was not missed.
This is a clear sign of human activity!
"There are survivors in the granary!"
Chen Tiansheng was surprised and puzzled, and said in a solemn tone:
"There are quite a few people watching!"
Zheng Wei and others also realized that zombie corpses could still be seen hanging on many fences. Their heads had been chopped off and they were not burned, leaving these corpses to stink in the autumn wind.
There were many mutated crows in the sky, some were pecking at the flesh of zombies, and others were hovering in the sky. When the convoy passed by, the crows flew into the sky and issued an "ahhhh" warning to the convoy in dissatisfaction.
Zheng Wei hurriedly picked up the walkie-talkie.
"Attention all units, attention to all units, there are survivors in the granary, and there are mutated crows in the sky. Everyone is in a battle preparation posture."
Although the crows kept circling overhead, they never attacked rashly. They followed the convoy wherever it went, as if they were accustomed to pecking at dead carrion and did not want to risk a head-on confrontation with living humans.
The convoy came to the granary gate in a mighty manner. The iron gate was tightly closed, and some bones could be seen outside the gate.
The motorcade stopped and Chen Tiansheng honked the horn to signal the survivors.
But the sudden whistle startled the crows, and they flew around like they were fleeing for their lives. After a short time, they all disappeared.
Zheng Wei looked up for a while and saw a group of crows hiding in the grass in the field. They were all hiding. He couldn't help but muttered:
"These damn birds!"
Chen Tiansheng honked the horn twice more, and the sound spread far and wide in the open fields.
Not long after, a voice finally came from the granary, shouting and questioning with trembling through the iron door:
"Who is out there honking the horn and not wanting to live anymore?"
Chen Tiansheng and Zheng Wei got out of the car to negotiate, and Yang Xue followed closely. The three of them walked to the gate and shouted through the iron gate.
"We are the Jiangcheng War Zone Base Rescue Team. We are ordered to search for survivors and take the living people to a safe base!"
The people inside the door were very excited and shouted excitedly:
"The organization has sent people here, open the door quickly!"
"Are you crazy? What kind of world is going on outside now? Can the door be opened at will?"
"But they are from a war zone!"
"What's going on in the war zone? We are still a national grain depot. You can open the door if you want. Please report to the director first."
After a quarrel inside the door, some people ran away in a hurry, leaving a few people behind inside the iron door.
Zheng Wei stepped forward again and said through the door:
"I am Zheng Wei from the war zone. How many survivors are there in your grain depot? Are you willing to follow us to the war zone base?"
The person behind the door said tremblingly: "We can't make the decision on this, the director has the final say."
Zheng Wei wanted to ask something more, but Chen Tiansheng pressed his shoulder and shook his head slightly.
After waiting not long, the person who went to report hurried back.
"The director said that only the leader can be allowed in, and everyone else is waiting outside!"
"Okay, then open the small door."
After a burst of crackling, the small door next to the main door opened a crack, and a man with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stuck his head out and said with wide eyes:
"Why do you have so many people here?"
He was shocked and completely frightened by the number of convoys.
"I have a mission, please forgive me." Zheng Wei took the initiative to speak.
"You are Zheng Wei. The director only lets you in alone."
Chen Tiansheng suddenly stood up and said:
"No, I just heard you talking and said that the director asked the leader to go in. Zheng Wei, I, and she are the managers of the theater search and rescue team who perform their respective duties. The three of us have to go in."
"this……"
Several people looked at each other, gritted their teeth in the end, and had no choice but to open the door and let them go.
As soon as the three of them entered the small door, the survivors locked the iron door tightly with all their hands. They were as nervous as if zombies were about to rush out at any time.
I have to say that you can't see the whole grain warehouse clearly from outside the yard, but it feels different when you actually come in.
Compared with Yang Xue's goods yard, it is already very big, but compared with the granary, it pales into insignificance, a thatched house compared with a skyscraper.
There are countless cylindrical buildings in the granary compound, several stories high. The vacuum below is completely supported by brackets. This is to prevent rats from stealing food and is also designed to prevent reverse tide. In addition, it is also convenient for food. Unloading and loading trucks.
There are countless such granary buildings throughout the entire granary, hundreds if not thousands.
Besides, the ground is made entirely of cement. It is a granary of tens of thousands square meters. The ground is made of solid cement and is not afraid of gophers and ant holes. Based on this alone, Chen Tiansheng feels that this place is more suitable as a survivor base than the Jiangcheng war zone.
The only disadvantage is that there are few buildings and can’t accommodate so many people!
The survivors of the granary brought three bicycles.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see the director!"
