Big camphor tree base.
inner city.
Mountain pond.
As a head emerged, a pair of hands followed.
Slowly, everyone saw clearly what it was.
This is a zombie.
Roar!
This zombie was in the mud, roaring at the surroundings.
The moment it opened its mouth, mud slowly flowed from its head into its mouth.
So, there was a bit of greasy bubble sound in the roar.
The cannon next to him was about to raise his gun and shoot at the zombie, but the third uncle saw this and stopped him quickly.
"It's too late. As soon as you fired, the whole base woke up." The third uncle said calmly.
Then he took out his crossbow and shot at the zombie.
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound pierced the air.
Go straight to this zombie's head.
Phew!
The arrow feathers entered from the zombie's head and flew out from the back of the head.
Snap!
The zombie immediately lost its strength, its head twitched, and it stood there dumbly from the chest up.
Perhaps it was the support of the mud underneath that kept the zombie from falling, and his lower body was probably still in the mud.
Shantang Reservoir is very deep, and it took half an hour to pump water to the lowest water level just now.
The current Shantang Reservoir can be said to be completely without water for the first time.
But the further down you go, the looser the soil becomes and the viscosity of the mud becomes very high.
Everyone could only spread the fallen trees on the shore in the mud to ensure that they would not sink.
"Dad, there's a lot of mud down here, but I don't know if there are any zombies in it. What should we do now?" Li Tie next to him asked in confusion.
The third uncle frowned, and then said: "The mud on the left and right is not easy to clean. Now the groundwater is gone. Let's just light a fire down there to dry the wet soil below. Then bring the excavator in tomorrow and dig in the mud." Dig inside.”
"Okay, I'm going to move the wood."
After a typhoon, many trees in the mountain forest were destroyed.
These trees have been soaked in water for several days, and some have become moldy. It is not a waste to burn them at this time.
So Cannon, Li Tie, and Song Min's people went to carry the scattered wood and branches around the forest.
soon.
Half an hour later, the bottom of the pond was covered with a layer of rotten branches, leaves, and wood.
The wood was still damp and not easy to light.
So the third uncle got some gasoline and sprinkled it in the middle, then took out a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches from his pocket.
He lit the cigarette first, and then dropped the burning match accurately on the damp wood underneath that had been sprinkled with gasoline.
boom!
The gasoline ignited instantly, and soon the wet wood was ignited as well.
Due to the strong humidity, the bottom of the ditch was filled with thick white mist.
The white mist is choking.
So Uncle San and others walked to the shore while the flames burned.
Minutes passed.
The silt at the bottom of the ditch was vaporized by the flames and became chapped.
Third Uncle and the others did not leave, watching the flames burn quietly.
Turning his head, he saw Li Tie dozing off, so the third uncle said, "You guys go to rest first, I'll watch from here."
When Li Tie heard his father's voice, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared. He shook his head and said, "I'm not sleepy."
"Go quickly!" Third Uncle said loudly.
"Oh." Li Tie looked at Li Gang, Cannon and others next to him.
"You all go. In two hours, someone will come and take my place." The third uncle glanced around at the people staying here and said.
Everyone looked at each other, although it felt a little inappropriate.
But after all, no other zombies were found at the bottom of the ditch, so it seemed unnecessary for everyone to stay up here all night.
So I had to leave.
After they left, the third uncle found a clean stone on the shore and sat down.
Slowly smoking the cigarette in his hand, his face lit up as the flame burned.
There are some white hairs on the temples and wrinkles at the corners of the eyes.
After all, he is in his forties and no longer looks as young as he once did.
The third uncle's temperament is very ordinary, and his appearance is also very ordinary.
Maybe it's because of the constant sun exposure that my skin has some healthy black color.
Lost in the crowd, he was as inconspicuous as an old farmer.
But he plays a very important role in the Da Zhangshu Base in this apocalyptic world.
The damp wood crackled.
The white mist rises and floats into the air before being carried away by the wind.
Two hours later.
Li Gang came to take over the shift.
After another two hours, the cannon also came.
The sky was slightly bright at this time.
Cannon looked boredly at the bottom of the ditch that was still burning in front of him, in a daze.
The mountain forests swept by the typhoon were in a very messy state.
The awning boat originally parked on the shore was also torn into pieces, leaving only its wreckage.
The sky was not very bright, and on the mountain forest side, the willow trees and fruit trees on the shore were destroyed.
The cannon sat there, holding a stick in his hand, sweeping it up and down intentionally or unintentionally.
"Cannon." A voice suddenly sounded from behind Cannon.
Cannon, who was in a daze, suddenly turned around and looked back.
It's Li Yu.
"Brother Yu, it's so early." After seeing Li Yu, Dapao said with joy on his face.
Sitting here alone in the middle of the night is so boring.
Li Yu nodded, looked at the flames burning at the bottom of the ditch, and asked, "How is it? Have you found any zombies?"
Cannon stood up and said, "I saw a zombie in the middle of the night. Well, it was right there."
After the third uncle killed the zombie, Cannon put on his gloves, stepped on the wood, and pulled the zombie to the shore.
Li Yu glanced at where the cannon was pointing, and then said, "Well, so the fire is to dry the mud?"
Cannon nodded and said: "Yes, Third Uncle said that the wet and sticky sludge is difficult to clean. If there are zombies in it and it is still dangerous, we might as well dry it with fire. Tomorrow, oh no, today we will bring in the excavator to shovel the soil. Let’s see if we can dig out zombies.”
After Li Yu heard what Cannon said, he felt that Uncle San's approach was correct.
I just looked at the flames burning at the bottom of the ditch and the sticky mud around me.
A thought suddenly flashed through my head, since the bottom of the ditch has been cleared now.
Why not turn this mountain pond into a reservoir?
Referring to the small reservoir at the bottom of the mountain, pave the ditch wall with cement. This will prevent the water in the mountain pond from seeping into the soil and causing the water source to drain away.
If the same situation happens in the future, it won't be so troublesome.
So after thinking for a while, he said, "I have an idea. Let's just turn the pond into a cement floor and wall. There is no water now anyway."
Cannon was stunned when he heard this.
He clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Wonderful, what a great idea. Brother Yu, you are right, why didn't I think of it?"
When Li Yu heard that Da Pao agreed with this idea, he smiled and said nothing.
The two stood on the bank of the mountain pond, watching the sun come out.
After the zombie that emerged from the mud last night, there was no trace of the zombie again.
However, it is not 100% sure that there are no zombies underground in the mud.
After all, it is a mountain pond with decades of accumulated silt. It is very deep, and there might be zombies trapped underneath.
Time passes little by little.
The wood at the bottom of the ditch was also burned, leaving only a few sparks.
The soil of the entire mountain pond has been baked hard by the fire, and people can walk directly on it without having to put a layer of wood underneath as before.
Li Yu stayed here for half an hour, and then left after seeing Song Min coming.
The cannon also left.
8am.
In the inner city of Da Zhangshu base.
Li Yu contacted his second uncle and others and held a meeting in the large conference room in the inner city of the base.
It was not time for the regular weekly meeting, but there were important things to deal with now, so Li Yu held it.
The typhoon has gone, leaving behind a mess on the ground.
It took half a day to clean up yesterday, and the speed was relatively slow. When I woke up this morning, the road was full of garbage, some of which came from the base, and some of which blew in from outside.
Soon, He Chao hurried over from the outer city.
In the inner city, third uncle, second uncle, uncle, Anya, Li's father, Bai Jie, Li Tie, Li Gang, Lao Lu, Li Yuan, Ding Jiu and others gathered in the conference room.
Seeing that the conference room was packed with people, Li Yu looked at Li Yuan.
Li Yuan nodded, indicating that the person had expired.
Li Yu didn't like to talk nonsense in meetings, so he got straight to the point and said: "We are convening this meeting. The main issue is the repair of the Da Zhangshu Base."
"Li Yuan, please tell everyone about the damage to the base that was sorted out yesterday."
"Okay." Li Yuan nodded, then looked up at everyone.
He opened the notebook in his hand and continued:
“The impact of this typhoon on the base is huge, greater than any previous natural disaster.
In the mountain forest, more than 50% of the trees facing the wind were destroyed.
In terms of food, there are no problems in the underground growing rooms, but the total damaged area of greenhouses, including the inner and outer cities, has reached 25 acres. Nine greenhouses were damaged, accounting for 85% of our total planting area.
architectural aspects.
The walls of two duty rooms were damaged, and the walls of the duty rooms had some minor cracks.
The watchtower on the top of the mountain was half destroyed.
In the food processing factory building, the wall of the processing workshop on the right collapsed. The equipment inside was not greatly affected because it was moved in advance.
In the gymnasium, water seeped through the walls and there were cracks.
Next is the loss of supplies.
Because some vehicles could not fit in the underground parking garage, the roof of the above-ground parking garage was blown off, resulting in the loss of 23 vehicles. Mainly some off-road vehicles, tankers and helicopters were not damaged.
"
Li Yuan reported one by one, and everyone in the conference room looked unhappy.
This kind of loss is not a big deal for the Zhangshu Base, but after all, this is the first time in the apocalypse that it has been so seriously affected.
Even the most important food cultivation has been affected.
But what they don't know is.
In this post-apocalyptic world, it is already remarkable that 85% of crops can be left behind after a typhoon.
"This is probably the damage to the entire base. Oil City is still in the typhoon, so the damage is not clear yet. In addition, our station outside is not clear yet.
Finally, yesterday, my eldest brother used a drone to take a look at some of the conditions around the Da Zhangshu base, and he was not optimistic either. "
Li Yuan finished speaking slowly and finally sat down.
Quiet.
The conference room was filled with smoke and no one spoke.
Li Yu glanced at everyone and said dullly:
“This typhoon exceeded our imagination, so the next step is to repair it.
But before repairing, I think everyone should learn from the lessons learned this time, and then during the repair process, think about whether such repairs can withstand if such a disaster happens again.
this point is very important.
Let's do this. In terms of building restoration, Ding Jiu and Dad, you are responsible for taking the lead, and then start bringing people to repair it. If you need people, just contact me directly.
Anya, go to the damaged greenhouse to check out the situation and see if there are any crops that can be saved. It just so happens that the sunshine PC boards are still there, so you can start repairing the greenhouse.
By the way, over in the outer city, He Chao, let Xiaoqian and the others go over to help. If there is a shortage of people, go directly to Lao Qin, Lao Luo, and Ju Tianrui. Just say it was me and finish the greenhouse as soon as possible. "
Anya and He Chao said quickly: "Okay, Mr. Li."
Li Yu glanced at them, then looked at Uncle Big Cannon and said, "Uncle Third, I just visited the Shantang Reservoir and I have an idea. Let's take a look at your suggestions."
"It just so happens that the water has been drained out now. After turning over the mud below, we simply turned the pond into a cement floor and walls. This way the water source can be cleaner and less likely to drain away."
After hearing this, the third uncle flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said, "Okay, this method will work. It just requires a lot of cement. After all, the pond is so big."
The second uncle, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke: "There should be no problem in this aspect. There is no need to worry about it. The machine for making cement is still there. At most, it lacks raw materials. We can just let the collaborators and non-staff people find it when the time comes."
Others nodded and thought it was a good idea.
So Li Yu made the decision.
"Okay, then it's decided. Second uncle, I'll leave this matter to you."
The second uncle nodded and did not refuse.
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu continued:
"Besides, I won't assign specific tasks to the others. The base is in a mess now and there is no shortage of work to do. Everyone should clean up the base.
Second Uncle, He Chao, now that the typhoon has basically passed, those collaborators and non-staff personnel can be released. In addition, they can also be released to collect the building materials mentioned above.
By the way, the sewer. Third, when the time comes, ask Xu Zhen to check it again. This time there was no flooding in the base, thanks to Xu Zhen’s upgrade of the sewer system, which was good. "
This meeting only lasted for more than half an hour, and Li Yu was mainly talking.
There are too many things to do right now, efficiency comes first.
After the meeting, everyone left the conference room.
Everyone started to get busy.
The scientific research laboratory was not damaged in this typhoon.
The location of the scientific research room is very clever. It is built in an urn between the Second Outer City and the First Outer City.
The place is small but enclosed on all sides.
The tall wall blocked the typhoon and left the scientific research room almost unharmed.
After everyone left, Li Yu came to the military radio station.
Contact Lao Bi in Oil City and ask him about the situation there.
"Lao Bi, this is Li Yu from Da Zhangshu Base. What's going on there now?"
Sizzling——
There was a sound of electricity.
After a few seconds.
Lao Bi's voice came over: "Mr. Li, the situation here, huh huh huh -"
Immediately afterwards, Li Yu heard Lao Bi seeming to say to the person next to him:
"Hey, Xiao He, drain the water and don't let the water flow through. It will be easier for the thread to come out later if it gets wet."
"Sorry, water just rushed in. The situation here in Oil City is not very good. Although the main equipment and equipment are not damaged, and there are no casualties, there is not much food. We can only last for a week at most."
"Besides, there are zombies outside the house..."
"Please vote for me, big guys, okay?"
