Chapter 1568 Destroyer, Someone Coming From the Sea
Big camphor tree base.
Due to the establishment of the buffer city, the low-lying area under the cliff in the eastern part of the inner city was used as a water storage reservoir.
Therefore, the underground drainage pipes in the inner and outer cities need to be adjusted in their drainage direction.
From the original lake that drained to the cliff, it was adjusted to drain to the lower reaches of the river five kilometers away.
The area where the inner and outer city of Dazhangshu is built is originally on a higher ground, so the drainage pipes can be built along the lower areas.
The drainage system is quite complex.
At present, there are more factories in Da Zhangshu Base, and a lot of industrial wastewater needs to be discharged. In addition, once there is a heavy rainstorm, if the drainage pipes are blocked by branches and other garbage, or the amount of water is too large, it will easily cause waterlogging.
In order not to take up space above ground, they used underground drainage.
Underground drainage pipes can be divided into two types: rainwater pipes and sewage pipes. Rainwater pipes are used to discharge rainwater, and sewage pipes are used to discharge sewage.
At this time, outside the buffer city, several pits of seven to eight meters and hundreds of meters long were dug on the ground. Below, cast-in-place reinforced concrete was used to construct a drainage channel more than two meters high. .
Ding Jiu sat on the bed of a pickup truck and looked around at the construction site.
Looking at the design drawing in his hand, he was a little numb by the construction plan of the underground drainage system.
The horizontal and vertical marks on the drawings and the installation locations of the wires are all extremely detailed.
The drainage pipes run from the outer city to the buffer city and then outside. Cameras and two gates are installed at each drainage pipe gate.
The wires are connected to the waterproof electric door, and the door is intelligently controlled to open and close.
In addition to these drainage outlets, they also need to build preliminary flood discharge outlets, making the entire construction extremely complicated.
"Old Xu, what do you mean by the concave design? Does it have any effect?" Ding Jiu looked at the drawing and thought for a while, then asked Xu Zhen who was standing aside.
Xu Zhen pointed to the line in front and said:
"It prevents backflow, and it also helps clear garbage from underground pipes."
Ding Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, the city lord has a hard standard, which is the safety of pipelines. Is your design feasible?"
Xu Zhen understood his worries and explained:
"certainly!"
"Not counting the blocking facilities in the buffer city, even after leaving the buffer city, there are five iron fence gates and electric gates. They are closed during dry seasons and can be opened during heavy rains."
"At that time, a sentry tower will be built at the drainage outlet, so there will be basically no problem."
With tens of thousands of acres of camphor tree base, it already looks like a small town.
It is unrealistic to rely solely on above-ground drainage and sewage discharge, and the construction of underground drainage channels is imperative.
However, when it comes to underground pipelines, safety issues are very important.
So Xu Zhen revised several versions before his design drawings were approved.
If an enemy wants to enter the buffer city through the underground passage, it is almost impossible.
Surveillance cameras, human body detection devices, automatic switches at gates, etc. have effectively prevented this problem.
Ding Jiu put away the drawings, stood up and patted the roof of the car.
"Drive and go to the drainage outlet terminal to check the progress."
"Okay, Mr. Ding, sit tight." The driver reminded and started the vehicle.
Then they came to a small river five kilometers away.
Because there had been no rain for several months, the amount of water in this small river was not large. Ding Jiu looked at the end of the drainage outlet built and asked Xu Zhen beside him:
"If a big flood breaks out, the drainage outlet here will be flooded, right?"
"Mr. Ding, don't we have a backup drainage pipe? Please bring out the drawing and I will show it to you."
Mdu.
Since the outbreak of the apocalypse, parts of the coast have been flooded.
Even Chongdao Island has been submerged by sea water. With the strong sun in the past few months, the sea water has evaporated, exposing part of the soil that was previously submerged by sea water.
Tongshi.
Just north of M City.
Tongshi and Yancheng are mostly swollen coasts, with intertidal zones up to several kilometers wide. A large amount of garbage flows here with the tide and is scattered on the vast tidal flats.
Affected by the movement of ocean currents, a huge destroyer was pushed to the shore. As the tide receded, this huge destroyer ran aground.
Below is a tidal flat, and the entire hull of the ship does not touch the sea water.
"The tide is out, the tide is out, we can get off the ship Smecta! Colonel!" A man from Bangzi Country shouted excitedly towards the cabin.
A white man with blond hair and blue eyes walked out of it. His eyes were red with endless exhaustion.
The single-eyed man on the deck saw the white man coming out and shouted excitedly:
"Colonel, we can disembark!"
Snap!
The colonel slapped the man across the face, his eyes showing excitement.
"FU*K, it's finally time to disembark, I don't want to be on the ship anymore! Notify everyone, get ready to disembark!"
Zhang Chengcan covered his face, feeling a little aggrieved.
Whether the colonel is happy or unhappy, he always slaps himself in the mouth and treats himself like a dog.
"Hurry up and inform everyone! FUC*K!" the colonel said angrily.
Zhang Chengcan left with his head lowered, his eyes full of resentment.
The colonel looked at the land not far away, with a flash of light in his eyes.
We can finally disembark!
Oh my god, only God knows what they went through.
A few months ago, they came out of the port to search for food and fuel resources, but unfortunately they encountered a thunderstorm on the ocean.
The horrific natural disaster almost overturned their destroyer. Fortunately, they found a small island to avoid the wind and waves, and they escaped.
Subsequently.
A terrible thing happened. After the thunderstorm and natural disaster, a mutant zombie appeared, a zombie that could climb onto the ship.
Originally, there were always some floating zombies in the ocean, but these zombies couldn't climb onto the boat, so they didn't pose much of a threat to them.
But!
The emergence of wall-climbing zombies makes the ship no longer safe.
Wall-climbing zombies climbed onto their ship at night, causing great damage to them. At the same time, half of the people on the already few people on the ship died.
The solar storm destroyed their ship's electronics, leaving them with no GPS and the destroyer's missiles useless.
What's even more tragic is that while taking shelter from the wind and waves on the island, the bottom of the boat was accidentally hit by a rock on the seabed, causing fuel leakage.
This isolated island is desolate and has very few natural resources.
Even if they wanted to get off the island, they didn't dare, for fear of the zombie animals in the ocean.
But
Without fuel, the destroyers will have no power. They will be like rootless duckweeds in the sea. They can only drift everywhere, wherever the wind blows, they will go.
They squeezed out the last bit of fuel and drove the destroyer away from the island.
I followed the ocean currents on the sea and drifted with the wind and waves in heavy rains for more than five months.
The supplies were gradually depleted, and they even ate up the corpses of their own kind, fishing every day during the day.
Since fish are not mammals, they cannot be infected with zombie viruses.
It's just that these fish seem to be contaminated by nuclear wastewater, and they look a little strange.
But they are hungry and can't control that much. Eat!
They had no navigation, no power for the ship, no food, and no communication tools.
After staying up, I was in a daze, skinny, and my eyes were sunken.
Finally, driven by ocean currents, they were washed up on the shore and stranded after more than five months.
But they still dare not get off the boat. There are many zombies in the coastal waters.
Some are even floating on the sea, looking greedily at their bodies.
Although the hull of the ship ran aground, that was because the ship was too huge, with a draft of more than 5 meters. They had to soak in the water to get off the ship.
I would rather starve to death than be eaten by zombies.
But now, the tide has receded, and the entire ship is exposed on the beach.
As Zhang Chengcan ran to the cabin to call for someone, dozens of people ran out of the cabin a few minutes later.
They lay on the side of the boat and cheered when the tide went out.
"Fuck!"
"Oh, god!"
The colonel looked excited and shouted to the two people in the crowd:
"David, you and Dennis stay on the boat and look at our weapons. Everyone else comes off the boat with me. Let's go look for fuel and materials to repair the hull!"
David and Dennis looked distressed after hearing this.
David quickly said:
"Colonel, we also want to get off the ship. It seems that staying on the ship is not a long-term solution! It is better to stay on land and develop."
Dennis also added:
"That's right, Colonel, even the satellites can't be used now, and the missiles are useless. Especially the terrifying night devil, which climbs onto the ship at night."
The colonel frowned. He could actually understand the thoughts of these two men.
It was actually very difficult for them to drift at sea for so many years.
Especially in the past six months, they have experienced hell-like suffering.
At the moment, returning to the port is out of reach, and even such a big ship cannot escape even if it is parked here.
Even if they found fuel, tools to repair the bottom of the ship, and enough food and resources, they would not be able to return to the port without navigation.
There is no need to stick to this ship because it is too dangerous and there are a lot of zombies coming every day.
Every night, a large number of zombies would walk from the land to the ocean, soak in the seawater, and then leave before dawn.
Very regular.
After thinking again and again, he looked at Dennis and David and said:
"Okay, everyone, pack up all the weapons and ammunition and get ready to disembark!"
Everyone cheered in unison! !
This half-year period made them extremely disgusted with staying on the ship.
The destroyer lost power and was adrift in the ocean, trapped on the ship with nowhere to escape.
Now that there is a chance to get off the ship, naturally no one wants to stay on the ship.
The anti-aircraft missiles and anti-ship missiles on the ship are useless, and the main guns and close-in defense guns cannot be taken away.
So they could only disembark with the firearms and ammunition needed for individual combat.
They lowered the rope to the ground and climbed down from the side of the ship, which was more than thirty meters high.
Because they had been hungry for many days on the ship, their bodies were extremely weak. When they climbed down with weapons, ammunition and luggage, they were all exhausted and sweating.
In addition, the scorching sun was in the sky at this time, and they were a little dizzy from the sun.
"Vicky, forget about taking the people and let's move together." The colonel originally wanted Vicky to go to the front to find some food, but after thinking about it carefully, they found that their walkie-talkies were out of power and they could easily get separated.
Moreover, it is not appropriate for them to park around the destroyer. If the tide rises, they will only be able to leave here.
It's better to act collectively, there will only be about 60 people left.
Originally, their destroyer had nearly four hundred people!
Soon, when all the men got off the boat, the colonel shouted to the crowd:
"Come on! Gogogo!"
Dozens of people, led by the colonel, each holding a gun and carrying a package on their back, walked towards the shore.
After walking for several kilometers from the seaside of Tongshi, they saw a group of buildings.
The ground was full of garbage, and there was no one on the wide street.
The broken plastic bags were flying in the air, the electric poles collapsed, and the wires were tangled together.
The colonel said to the people behind him breathlessly:
"Vic, Zhang Chengcan, David, you each take a group to search for food in the houses on both sides, I will wait for you at the end of this street."
"Look, it's that stone tablet, I'll wait for you there."
"Okay, colonel." The three of them each took ten people to the streets on both sides.
In order to save energy these days, they basically lie down instead of sitting, and sit instead of standing, but even so, their bodies are still extremely weak.
The colonel led the remaining people and walked slowly towards the end of the street.
"Alas"
The colonel sighed. If only the helicopter on the destroyer had not been blown to the sea by the storm, they would not have to walk so awkwardly.
Vic wore a beret, held a gun, and was followed by ten people.
Their eye sockets were sunken, their lips were pale, their hair was withered, and their navy combat uniforms looked empty, like evil ghosts who had not eaten for several months.
In this coastal city, most of the houses on the seaside are ordinary villagers. This is not a beach area for viewing, so the houses here are ordinary three- or four-story low houses.
Most of the houses were blown away by the storm and only ruins were left. The chance of finding an intact house is lower than buying a lottery ticket.
Finally, Vic and his team found a house that looked slightly intact. There was a yard outside the house. In the yard, there was a big tree that was uprooted, and there were many ants on the roots of the tree.
Vic walked to the door of the house and pushed it open.
Squeak!
The door opened, and what caught my eye was a thick layer of mud on the ground.
The wall was damp, and several cracks made people suspect that the wall might collapse in the next second.
I walked to the kitchen habitually and opened the refrigerator.
"yue——"
The refrigerator had not been opened for several years, and a strong stench filled my nose.
The interior of the refrigerator, which was originally white, was now completely black.
Opening the kitchen cabinet, like the white people like to put all kinds of sauces on the cabinet, peanut butter, sesame paste, ketchup
But they only found a bottle of Lao Gan Ma, which was black inside and had an extreme stench.
The Lao Gan Ma was soaked in water, and the fermented black beans and peppers inside were soaked in sea water. Microorganisms grew inside, mold grew, and after several months of exposure to the sun, the microorganisms inside died and left corpses.
Searched everywhere!
Kitchen, bedroom, utility room, basement
All places were searched, but there was not a single bit of food.
It was so pitiful that there was not even a creature like cockroaches!
Not only that, even the bed sheets, quilt covers, kitchen utensils, and anything that looked useful were gone.
Vicchi frowned, "Damm! It was looted so thoroughly!"
They went to other houses to search, and searched carefully.
But they didn't find any food at all.
In desperation, he had to take his men to the place agreed with the colonel to gather.
When he came back, he saw that David and Zhang Chengcan had not brought back any food, and he felt much more balanced.
The colonel obviously didn't expect that in such a small town, there would not be a single bit of food to be found!
It's outrageous, it's outrageous to the point of opening the door!
"Colonel, what should we do now?" David asked.
The colonel looked at the sky, the sun was hanging overhead, it should be noon.
"Keep looking forward, we will definitely find food!"
The group continued to walk forward. They had basically spent the past few years on the ship, and only got off the ship when they needed to search for supplies.
But what they didn't expect was that the Chinese side was searched so thoroughly!
It's cleaner than any place they've been to!
(Big guys, I'm stuck today, so I'm so upset, I'll just do one chapter today.
If you have any suggestions for the plot, feel free to speak up~~
Thank you so much, or2~(End of this chapter)
