Chapter 702: Ten Thousand Tons of Steel, It Would Be Nice if the Jackals Were Here [5,000 Words Long Chapter]

The flood receded faster in other places, but not so fast along the Changhe River.

Dongfeng and others on Mount Lushan waited for a long time and finally waited for the flood water level to drop. Although there was still a lot of water at the foot of the mountain, they could take a detour to leave.

A month ago, because Mount Lushan was close to Poyang Lake, all the places with lower altitudes in Mount Lushan were flooded.

Sometimes, they felt like they were on an isolated island in the ocean.

Poyang Lake is to the east, and they can only go from the west.

The vehicle was parked in the parking space on the mountainside, but the back was also flooded and completely scrapped.

They set off early in the morning.

Walking on the muddy road, looking at the mountains and forests covered with smoke, the humidity in the air was relatively high, and they were impressed by the beauty of the scenery here.

The sun shines on the incense burner and produces purple smoke, and the waterfall hangs in front of the river. The waterfall falls straight down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls from the sky.

This poem is the most famous description of the beautiful scenery of Mount Lushan.

However, they walked hurriedly, looked at each other for a few times, and then continued to walk down the mountain. Their destination was very clear.

It was to go to the legendary Xincheng camphor tree base. In any case, from some details told by Lao Dong and others, and the current reality of the need to seek shelter, they could only take a gamble.

Soon, they went down the mountain.

Looking at the still surging water on the opposite side, Wan Bo shook his head and said to Dongfeng: "Boss, we still have to go from the west. The terrain there is high. Although we still have to cross mountains and ridges, it won’t take long for us to reach Xiu County."

Dongfeng nodded and loosened the elastic band of the backpack slightly.

After coming down the mountain, the temperature rose by several degrees, and he was sweating all over because he had been moving all the time. Now the sweat on his back stuck to his back, which was a bit uncomfortable.

"Well, it's okay, let's go! Let's not stay by the water for too long. There are many zombies by the water, and it's dangerous!" Dongfeng pulled the clothes on his back and said.

A group of more than 20 people turned to the west.

According to their plan, after coming down from Mount Lu, they would enter Xiu County, then bypass Chang City, where there were many zombies, and continue south to Xin City and Ji City. After a long journey, they would be able to reach Xin City.

Everyone was carrying a bag and carrying various luggage in their hands. Some people even used small wheeled carts that they had picked up from somewhere and pushed them with a creaking sound.

They walked in the mountains and forests. Dongfeng, who led the way, carried a bag and a spear in his hand. He led the way while watching the surroundings vigilantly. If there was any situation, he would notify everyone in time.

In Rao City, not far from Mount Lu.

Xu Chengcai and his son came down from Sanqing Mountain. After they bid farewell to Sanqing Temple, they returned to the small house halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the small house that had sheltered them for two months, Xu Chengcai looked at it for a long time, went in and took away the backpack with food.

Xiaoyong looked at the house reluctantly and said to his father, "Can we not leave here?"

Xu Chengcai looked around and said, "We can't stay here for long. We will have to leave later."

Xiaoyong looked at the hut, picked up a bag from the ground, and then took his father's hand and walked down the mountain together.

In the past two months, they have eaten a lot of the food left in the warehouse of the hut.

In fact, there are not many things.

Xu Chengcai put the rest in a large backpack and carried it on his back, and then let Xiaoyong carry some light things, and carried another package in his hand.

The spears and weapons were placed on the side of the backpack, and they could reach them with just one hand.

The road down the mountain was rugged, and they did not walk fast.

When they came to the foot of the mountain, the wooden house where they originally lived at the foot of the mountain had long been washed away by the flood, and there was no wood left.

"Let's go!" Xu Chengcai tightened Xiaoyong's hand, and the two walked towards the col. They had to cross two mountains to cross the river formed after the flood.

In fact, if you row a boat, you can save a lot of time and energy, but in the end of the world, no one wants to stay in the water.

Zombies in the water are much more agile than zombies on land. Once you enter the water, you will die.

You can't escape in the water.

Camphor tree base.

The third outer city is still under construction. In the past few days, Xiao Jun found some zombies during his reconnaissance outside. There were only a few zombies and as many as fifty or sixty zombies.

After all, more people will attract more zombies, and the wall has not been built yet, so zombies come from all directions.

But fortunately, Xiao Jun and his team found these zombies in time and solved them outside. Otherwise, once the zombies broke into the construction site and bit people, it would be even more troublesome.

Li Yu brought Dapao and others to the outside. Outside the third outer city, Li Yu looked at the dozens of zombie corpses in front of him and frowned.

Now the first thing to do every morning before construction is not to turn on the power, but to do a comprehensive inspection of the construction site. In the past two days, zombies were found hiding under the foundation under construction at night, and some were even hiding behind the building materials. I was almost bitten by them if I wasn’t careful.

Fortunately, Lao Fei was smart and pulled the person back, so he escaped.

This inspection takes more than half an hour, which is a waste of time, but it cannot be avoided.

The area of ​​the third outer city is too large. With such a large area, zombies are attracted at night and it is easy for them to hide in it.

"We have to find a way to solve this problem." Li Yu frowned and said.

Xiao Jun next to him said: "Mr. Li, it's okay. We wake up after cleaning up every morning. As long as we are here, we won't let a zombie get in."

Li Yu glanced at him and said with satisfaction: "Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you more manpower. It's still a bit difficult to guard with only twenty of you. Let's think of a way."

Xiao Jun did not refuse and nodded and said: "Okay."

After all, they have used more than one hundred acres of land to the extreme.

There is definitely a shortage of manpower.

After looking at the situation here, Li Yu immediately said: "There is another way. You can get closer to the construction site and stand on a high place to see more clearly."

After explaining to Xiao Jun, Li Yu returned to the wall.

Seeing Li Yu frowning, the second uncle asked in confusion: "Has anything happened to Xiao Jun?"

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Nothing has happened yet, I'm just afraid that something will happen later. There are so many people busy at the construction site now, and there are always some zombies coming outside. Although Xiao Jun and his team can hold on now, I'm afraid that if one or two zombies slip in later and bite people, it will be troublesome."

The second uncle also fell silent after hearing this.

"This is a troublesome matter, and it must be solved as soon as possible." The second uncle murmured.

Li Yu walked out of the duty room and looked at the busy work in the third outer city.

The big camphor tree base was originally relatively remote, and the place where it was built was also a distance away from the national highway, and it was connected by a rural road in the middle.

When he was just reborn in the end of the world, Li Yu just wanted to cultivate this one acre and three points of land, hiding in the deep mountains and old forests, isolated from the world.

But the subsequent development was beyond his expectations. He didn't expect that with the development of the cooperation model, the productivity of the base increased dramatically, and the development speed also increased sharply.

The biggest advantage of this model is that it can use the least amount of food to exchange for the greatest labor cost, and it will not be dragged down by the population.

The base has now been built to the third outer city.

It's so fast.

Li Yu walked on the wall, looking at the green mountains and forests.

The trees in the mountains and forests recovered quickly, and now there was a green scene in front of him.

For the camphor tree base, these tall trees are the best concealment for the camphor tree base.

Moreover, trees can also hinder some larger zombies.

Hmm?

Li Yu suddenly looked at these trees, and a light flashed in his head.

The reason why they are so hard now is that except for the more than ten meters of the construction of the wall, the trees have been cleared, but outside the third outer city, the trees have not been cleared.

Many times, the reason why so many people are guarding is because of the trees.

Many people outside now know about the camphor tree base.

In this case, there is no need to hide it anymore.

Li Yu patted his head: "Why not cut down all the trees?"

Then, he quickly ran to the duty room and told his second uncle about his idea.

Hearing this, the second uncle smiled and said, "We are all trapped by ourselves. You said such a simple method, why didn't we think of it. I think it's okay. We can just collect some more wood to make arrow feathers. We consumed a lot last time."

After the two decided, Li Yu brought the cannon, Li Gang and others to the construction site of the third outer city.

Gathered everyone and came here.

Li Yu said to everyone:

"In the past two days, there have always been some zombies in the construction site. Some people also reported to me that they are always worried that zombies will suddenly appear during construction. I understand everyone's concerns."

"For this reason, I decided to cut down all the trees within a range of 50 meters outside the third outer city. Ding Jiu, don't we have two cranes? Put one crane at the highest point in the center, so that you can see farther. Once you find zombies outside, the people in the crane can report the surrounding situation at any time."

The crane is generally 40 to 50 meters high, and the high ones are several hundred meters high.

Standing at such a high place, it should not be a big problem to overlook the surrounding area.

Ding Jiu nodded and said, "Okay, it's just a little troublesome to carry it over, but it's okay, I can handle it."

"Okay, then everyone stop what you are doing for a while. Sharpening the knife does not delay the work of chopping wood. Instead of working with fear, it is better to eliminate the hidden danger first. Everyone, come together and cut down all the trees within 50 meters outside the third outer city."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he jumped down from the top of the excavator.

Then he walked over there with a chain saw, and he was going to do it himself.

Hundreds of people, divided the work and cooperated.

People who cut trees, people who cut, and people who transported.

In one morning, all the trees within 50 meters of the third outer city were cut down.

This kind of pine tree in the south is not long and wide. Even if it is a decades-old tree, the diameter is only a few dozen centimeters, so the speed of cutting is very fast.

When all these trees are cut down, the sight will be wide at a glance.

Li Yu said 50 meters at the time, but after the actual cutting, he felt that the distance was not enough, so he expanded the range to 20 meters.

That is, within 70 meters outside the third outer city wall, there is no tree.

All are bare tree stumps.

At least it was done before noon.

Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw the crane slowly pushing up the small hill in the middle.

The hill in the middle of the third outer city is only a few dozen meters high, and is actually no different from a small earthen slope.

If it weren't for the trouble, Li Yu would have thought of pushing the small earthen slope directly.

Later, Ding Jiu suggested that a watchtower could be built on this hill in the future. Li Yu also thought this was a good idea, so he kept it.

He raised his arm and shouted to the many cooperative and non-staff personnel around him: "Everyone has worked hard, and there will be an extra meal at noon today!"

"Oh oh oh oh! Thank you, Mr. Li!"

"Brother Yu is awesome!"

"It's great!"

Zuo Ruxue wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Li Yu standing on the high ground with a smile on her lips.

Following such an outstanding leader, you will feel lucky.

Li Yu has the kind of charm that makes people willing to follow him.

He is friendly and has no airs, can endure hardships together, rush to the front, has no lack of means, and is not pedantic, and his means are vigorous and resolute.

"Perhaps this kind of person can lead everyone to the end in this cruel apocalypse." Zuo Ruxue murmured in her heart.

Guangshi.

Lizhi District, suburbs.

Guangshi Steel Plant.

As the sun sets, Guo Peng and others have already filled the ten trucks that drove over, and even the seven or eight larger trucks brought from the industrial park are full of steel.

Lao Qin, Zhu Xiao and others, with weapons in their hands and uncontrollable smiles on their faces, walked towards Uncle San.

Uncle San was sitting next to the armored RV, smoking there and watching the sunset.

Chatting with Ant next to him from time to time.

Ant and the awakened Maozi and Ma Tou dealt with the body of the python together.

The python weighed nearly 200 kilograms. After skinning, tendons and bones, and cutting off the head and tail, there was less than 100 kilograms of meat left.

But 100 kilograms of meat was almost enough for them to eat.

There was a huge iron basin in the middle, which was found in the steel plant, and the snake meat was placed on it.

"Maozi, come and help me lift it up." Ant said to the hat next to him.

"Okay, brother Ant." Maozi escaped death, all thanks to Ant for saving them.

The scene where Ant killed the python was too powerful, which made Maozi admire Ant instantly, so he respected Ant very much.

Help move the snake meat to the rack above the fire.

Ant poured in the clean water source from the RV.

Then he took out the seasonings found in the RV from the table next to him.

"Tsk tsk, ginger, star anise, chicken essence, salt. Okay, don't put the others, the taste will be muddy. Drinking snake soup is delicious. Original flavor."

"Roast the rest. I didn't expect you to have chili powder and cumin powder. It's too extravagant. You are a bunch of local rich people."

Ant was busy with his hands, and he was surprised at the seasonings that the third uncle took out.

Uncle San sat on a stool, smiling cheerfully. The setting sun shone on everyone, and it felt a bit like a barbecue on a picnic.

Leisurely and casual.

But this was just an appearance. Guo Peng and his team had just moved the steel.

At this time, Lao Qin walked up to Uncle San,

"Captain, good news, we looked around the entire steel plant, and the amount of stockpiled in the warehouse inside was amazing!" Lao Qin said excitedly.

Uncle San was not surprised. He looked up and looked at Lao Qin and said, "How much in total?"

"Ten thousand tons!" Lao Qin said excitedly.

You know, the two warehouses that Guo Peng and Zhu Xiao first discovered only had a total of two thousand tons.

What is the concept of ten thousand tons.

Before the end of the world, although the annual output value of this steel plant was very high, the inventory was not much.

In fact, before the end of the world, the total inventory of 68 steel plants in the entire Guangdong Province was only 100,000 tons.

It was inventory, not annual output value.

This is why the steel plant they are in is one of the best in the world, otherwise there would not be so much steel inventory.

"Very good." Uncle San said with a smile.

Lao Qin rubbed his shoulders and sniffed with his nose twitching, "So fragrant? Ant, I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a long time. I must taste it today!"

"Okay." Ant held the cigarette in his mouth and straightened his waist.

At this moment, he was a little dazed, as if he had returned to the past.

"If the jackals were all here, it would be perfect." Ant murmured.

——

Ten thousand a day for two or three consecutive months without a break.

I'm a little tired today, just one chapter, slowly.

I'll continue to write ten thousand a day tomorrow.

Thank you for your support~

A few words:

Please comment and comment more.

Well, I don't have any advantages, I'm just obedient.

If you have any opinions, feel free to raise them, and I will join in if they are reasonable.

Writing novels, especially long novels, must be co-created with readers. I like to listen to some opinions from brothers.

This book is the first book I wrote. Now it has an average subscription of more than 2,000. The boutique needs 3,000, which is still a long way off.

I will continue to work hard, please give me some advice~~

I asked Li Yu to kowtow to everyone, and he kowtowed to everyone on the ground.

Thanks (*^_^*)
