Chapter 1400 When a Cockroach Is Discovered (Long Chapter)

Big Camphor Tree Base, Buffer City.

Shashasha——

The mortar in the mixer rolls back and forth, and the sand and cement are often fully mixed in the mixer, and then poured from the conveying pipe onto the installed formwork.

The formwork is filled with tied steel bars horizontally and vertically, and these sticky concretes are poured on the steel bars to fill the gaps.

Some partners use mixers to shake the concrete to ensure that the concrete can fill the gaps in the formwork.

Crunch!

After entering the buffer city of the Big Camphor Tree Base, Le Ziqing and his group parked in the right area.

In the current buffer city, various building materials are piled up like mountains, like small hills.

Hualala——

They dumped the sand from the trucks on the ground, and one car after another drove in and dumped the sand on the car.

Here, each type of building material is classified and piled in different positions.

But even so, due to the vehicles loaded with materials driving back and forth, some sand and stones were shaken out, and the construction site still looked a bit messy.

Less than a hundred meters away from here, there is a cement plant that was built not long ago.

In the warehouse of the cement plant, there are piles of cement more than ten meters high, layer by layer, which looks extremely spectacular.

These cements have just been produced and need to be stored for a period of time.

The newly produced cement is hot and cannot be put into use immediately, otherwise it will affect the growth strength of the cement.

The cement that has just been bagged out of the furnace has a high temperature after it is delivered. It is hot to the touch and cannot be used immediately. Concrete cannot be poured immediately.

Because the performance of various ingredients in hot cement has not been fully stabilized, the stability of cement is not up to standard. Only when the cement fully releases its heat can it achieve a stable effect.

But it cannot be left for too long. If the cement exceeds two months, the strength will decrease.

This point was emphasized by Fusheng in the base to the construction personnel on the construction site.

After unloading the sand, Le Ziqing looked at the time and it was already 4:30 in the afternoon.

It was too late to transport the goods again, so he said to Shi Jingsheng behind him:

"Jingsheng, ask the brothers to drive the electric truck to the charging point to charge, and I will go find someone."

Shi Jingsheng heard this, looked around, and came over to ask in a low voice:

"Brother Le, are you going to find that inner city staff Lai Dongsheng to report Zhang Shunzi's matter?"

"Well, this bastard affects our ability to earn points, and we must sue him." Le Ziqing's face was gloomy.

"Hehe, I'll wait for your good news."

After receiving Le Ziqing's accurate answer, Shi Jingsheng had already thought of the scene of Zhang Shunzi being humiliated.

Le Ziqing glanced at Shi Jingsheng and said unhappily:

"Drive away quickly, there are other convoys coming from behind."

Lai Dongsheng has a special status in the big camphor tree base. Although he is just a middle-aged man with low knowledge and culture, he has a very good relationship with Li Yu's family before the end of the world.

After the outbreak of the end of the world, he did not have a fixed position in the inner city, and he went wherever he was needed to help.

After the construction of the inner city was basically completed, he couldn't rest and took the initiative to apply to help in the buffer city.

He was responsible for the registration of vehicles entering and leaving. When he just passed the weighbridge, Le Ziqing had already greeted him.

But because there were other teams queuing up behind him at that time.

He was also in the car, anxious to transport the raw materials to the material storage area, so he didn't get off the car to report Zhang Shunzi's matter to Lai Dongsheng.

Back to the buffer city, less than 50 meters away from the gate, there was a pavilion set up in this place. There were several tables in the pavilion, and four or five people were sitting.

Opposite the pavilion, there was a weighbridge. Every transport truck entering the buffer city had to pass through here and weigh the weight of the materials on the car.

Based on this weight, they calculated the contribution points for the partners who transported materials out according to the proportion.

And these partners also exchanged food and other supplies based on these contribution points.

Le Ziqing walked to the weighing scale. At this time, there was no team entering here. Lai Dongsheng and Yu Lei and several non-staff members were chatting.

He patted the dust off his body and walked straight towards the pavilion.

Yu Lei saw Le Ziqing coming under the pavilion and said with a smile:

"Hey! Old Le, today's transportation mission is over. You have a good transportation volume today. Have you found a new sand mining site?"

Le Ziqing walked to the shade of the pavilion. Without the scorching sun, he felt much cooler.

"It's still a bit risky. The river sand mined in Gongjiang is easy to mine, but there are always some zombies in the river that suddenly run out, which is not easy to do."

Hearing him say this, Yu Lei nodded slightly.

He could understand what Le Ziqing said, and he did the same thing at the beginning.

Generally speaking, sand is generally collected from rivers, mountains and oceans.

There are many types of sand, including river sand, mountain sand, sea sand or natural sand, which is a natural mineral resource.

In recent years, due to the widespread use of construction and foundation engineering in the big camphor tree base, coupled with the impact of heavy rain and floods, the mountain sand near the big camphor tree base has become increasingly difficult to mine.

River sand is relatively easy to mine, but it has a big disadvantage, that is, zombies like water. When mining river sand, you will always encounter some zombies running out of the water.

It is easy to get caught if you are not careful.

Lai Dongsheng, who was sitting in the middle, nodded to Le Ziqing, "Be careful, the probability of mutant zombies appearing is much higher now than before."

"Yeah. Thanks for the reminder, Brother Lai."

"Brother Lai, there is something wrong with one of my electric trucks. Do you have time to take a look at it for me?"

Le Ziqing saw so many people here, including several non-staff members.

He thought of an excuse and took Lai Dongsheng aside to chat.

This kind of snitching thing must not be talked about in front of everyone.

If these non-staff personnel hear it, if one of them has a good relationship with Zhang Shunzi and the news reaches Zhang Shunzi's ears, Zhang Shunzi will definitely cause trouble for him.

After all, he is a person from outside the city. Although he does not have direct jurisdiction over him, he can still find a way to put some shoes on him.

Therefore, it is best to tell Lai Dongsheng secretly about this matter in private.

Lai Dongsheng was surprised when he heard this and said: "If you have a problem, go to the maintenance factory in the outer city. They are professional. I know how to repair trucks. Nowadays, these electric vehicles are not the same as fuel vehicles. I can't fix it."

Lai Dongsheng has done many jobs before, including a car mechanic for a period of time.

But the technology is not particularly good.

Lai Dongsheng's answer was already within Le Ziqing's prediction, and he said quickly:

"You are so humble. I have seen your skills with my own eyes. When we were on the weighbridge the day before yesterday, you were the one who found out the problems with the truck and fixed them."

"There are still queues for maintenance at the factory. I have to go out to transport sand tomorrow. I can't wait that long. If you are tired, please help me take a look. It's not a big problem. It's just that there are always strange noises when driving."

"Please help me. Anyway, there are no cars coming here for the time being, not to mention Brother Yu and the others are here."

Lai Dongsheng is very popular among the base, which is related to his down-to-earth and helpful character.

Hearing what Le Ziqing said, he felt that it was not unreasonable.

It only takes one trip, "Okay, don't blame me if it can't be repaired. If it can't be repaired, you can find a repair shop."

"Thank you Brother Lai."

Lai Dongsheng explained to Yu Lei here, looked at the registration data on the form, wrote it down, and followed Le Ziqing.

Don't mess with this data. The points of those who cooperate are based on this data.

Although he has a good temper, he is also very careful in his work.

It should be noted that he has always been more careful.

Yu Lei is an old man at Da Zhangshu Base. He had a broken leg before, otherwise he would have been promoted to an outer city employee long ago.

Let him watch from here, and there shouldn't be any problems.

After leaving the pavilion, Le Ziqing took Lai Dongsheng towards a ruined wall to the west.

The buffer city is very large, and many areas have not yet had time to be built.

Within the scope of the buffer city, there are still some private houses built before the end of the world, but some of these houses have collapsed, leaving only ruins.

"Xiao Le, the electric truck charging place is not here. Why did you bring me here?"

They were next to a broken wall, about fifty meters away from the buffer city wall. There was a big tree growing next to the broken wall. Although the weeds on the ground had been cleared a few days ago, they have grown again in the past two days. Some.

Cicadas are chirping and the air is muggy, making people easily irritable.

Le Ziqing looked around and found that there was no one there, a miserable look appeared on his face.

"Brother Lai, I have something I need your help with."

"Help, where's your car? If you don't pull the truck out, how can I help you repair it?"

"The truck is not broken. I have other business with you."

"You kid, just kid me, I'm busy."

With that said, Lai Dongsheng walked back on the road.

No matter how good-tempered he is, he cannot accept others lying to him.

"Brother Lai, wait a minute. I have my own reasons. It was difficult to talk because there were so many people. This matter is of great importance and I think I must tell you." Le Ziqing grabbed Lai Dongsheng and begged.

"oh?"

When Lai Dongsheng heard what he said was of great importance, he stopped and slowly turned his head to look at him.

"What's going on? Has a new type of mutant zombie been discovered?"

He also heard about what happened in the cave a few days ago.

It was also discovered by Luo Shichang, the same collaborator as Le Ziqing.

"no."

Le Ziqing told Lai Dongsheng how Zhang Shunzi used his power to block the road in the language he had organized on the way here.

"Moreover, when we used points to exchange for food, Jia Tan also asked us for benefits, otherwise he would deduct our food."

"We risked our lives to save the food bit by bit, but we really have no choice but to give them benefits and help them find what they want."

The more Le Ziqing talked, the angrier he became, "This is not just me. You can ask Master Luo and Zhang Bo. They all have the same suffering as me and can't tell anything."

"Many cooperators are now a little dissatisfied. I think there will be big problems sooner or later if this continues."

"So I ask you to report this matter to the city lord. The city lord is wise and he will not sit idly by."

Lai Dongsheng listened carefully to what he said, his face full of disbelief.

"There is such a thing, how brave they are!"

"I also remember that Jia Tan. He used to follow He Chao. How could He Chao be so confused? I know who he is, so he shouldn't know."

Le Ziqing said quickly: "Yes, not only Jia Tan, but also Zhang Shunzi used to follow He Chao."

Lai Dongsheng thought for a while. He knew that the city lord had always valued He Chao, otherwise he would not have handed the outer city to him.

He Chao had always been loyal to the city lord.

Lai Dongsheng was actually a little entangled. He was worried that He Chao would know about this matter and indulge Jia Tan and Zhang Shunzi.

If this was the case, He Chao would be miserable.

And the city lord would definitely be disappointed and sad.

After all, he trusted He Chao so much, but He Chao

But now listening to what Le Ziqing said, he was also very angry.

He dared to use power for personal gain, so bold!

He couldn't understand it.

As an outer city staff, he had all the benefits he should have, and he didn't have to worry about food at all. Although the benefits were worse than those of the inner city staff, it was a world of difference compared to the non-staff staff and cooperative staff.

His eyes moved, and at this moment Lai Dongsheng thought a lot.

If he told the city lord, would the city lord deal with this matter?

He should, right?

In the past one or two years, the city lord has rarely directly managed the specific affairs of the Dazhangshu base.

Even in the past few months, he rarely showed up in the outer city.

However, Lai Dongsheng joined when Dazhangshu was just established, and even watched Li Yu grow up since he was a child.

He knows Li Yu very well. The city lord is a person who can't tolerate a grain of sand in his eyes.

I am afraid that if this matter is reported, it may cause a shock to the Dazhangshu base.

From top to bottom, they may dislike the big sweep.

Thinking about it carefully, he shuddered.

Although he is not educated, he understands one thing.

When you find a cockroach in the sun, it means that there are too many in the dark.

It is very likely that Zhang Shunzi is just one of them, and there are many people he doesn't know who are corrupt and infringe on the overall interests of the Dazhangshu base.

These people are like termites, constantly gnawing at the foundation of the Dazhangshu base.

In thinking, Lai Dongsheng's eyes gradually became firm.

These termites must not be allowed to damage the interests of the Dazhangshu base.

So he looked at Le Ziqing, who was looking miserable, and said solemnly:

"Le Ziqing, I know about this matter. I will report it to the city lord in person. Don't worry, according to my understanding, I will definitely make the decision for you!"

His eyes were firm. He watched the big camphor tree base being built. He had a deep affection for it and he would not allow anyone to destroy it.

Le Ziqing saw Lai Dongsheng's attitude and immediately thanked him excitedly:

"Brother Lai, I know you have the most sense of justice. I thank you on behalf of my brothers!"

"Okay, okay, don't flatter me. Don't worry, since I know about this, I will definitely report it."

"Let's go. I can't leave the weighbridge station for too long."

Lai Dongsheng glanced at Le Ziqing behind him, and then walked towards the weighbridge station.

Le Ziqing followed behind, feeling a little excited.

With expectation in his eyes, he had been unhappy with Jia Tan for a long time, and today he met this Zhang Shunzi, who was also a fucking thing.

Damn, I hope the city lord can investigate it carefully.

But he was afraid that even the city lord would protect these people and not punish them.

If that happened, it would hurt the hearts of the majority of the cooperative personnel.

All the fairness and justice that had been said before would become a joke.

The sun was setting, and the sun was setting back to the mountains and forests.

The cooperative personnel who were performing mining and transportation tasks nearby returned to the buffer city.

Other cooperative personnel who went to perform tasks a little further away and could not return to the big camphor tree base on the same day, so they stayed temporarily in the five satellite cities.

With the full firepower of the factory at the big camphor tree base these days, the ultraviolet lamps produced were distributed every day.

Moreover, there were more and more skilled workers producing ultraviolet lamps, and the daily production volume had reached nearly eight times compared to the beginning.

After these ultraviolet lamps were distributed, they were enough for the cooperative personnel to take out and use in the satellite cities.

However, due to the large area of ​​the buffer city, the walls have not been fully covered so far.

The cooperative personnel and non-staff personnel have withdrawn from the inner and outer cities, and they now basically live in the buffer city.

They gathered in one place and used ultraviolet lamps to form a protective circle around them, so they didn't have to worry about the appearance of zombies climbing the wall at night.

As for other ordinary zombies, they could not enter the buffer city without rain, and were blocked by the walls of the buffer city.

In the evening.

After Wang Cheng returned to the inner city, he found Ding Jiu in the cafeteria and told Ding Jiu about what he saw when repairing the road today.

Ding Jiu did not think too much about it, after all, Zhang Shunzi just complained a few words, which was harmless.

"Engineer Ding, it's not just Zhang Shunzi complaining, I also heard that Yan Chan was complaining."

"Yan Chan? Which one?" Ding Jiu heard this name a little strange.

After all, there are so many people in the base, and there are now 2,000 people in the inner and outer cities.

He can't remember everyone's name.

"It's the outer city personnel who was responsible for transporting ultraviolet lamps to the five satellite cities recently. He used to follow He Chao." Wang Cheng replied.

"He Chao?" Ding Jiu glanced at Wang Cheng after hearing this name.

"Do you suspect He Chao of rebellion?"

"You said he might have a problem, but I absolutely don't believe it. He has no motive at all. Besides, his daughter is in the inner city. How dare he do anything wrong?!"

Wang Cheng quickly shook his head and said, "No."

"Engineer Ding, I didn't say that Director He had a problem. I just felt something was wrong. Recently, Zhang Shunzi and Yan Chan both complained to me about the base."

"I wonder if I should remind the president to check it out?"

Ding Jiu looked around. The two of them were sitting in the corner of the cafeteria, and the closest person to them was seven or eight meters away.

"Let's talk about it later. You think too much. Don't mention this matter anymore." Ding Jiu lowered his voice and said.

"Oh, okay." Wang Cheng saw that Engineer Ding didn't seem to care much, so he didn't say anything more.

Ding Jiu ate his meal and fell into deep thought.

Is this an accident, or is there something else going on?
