Chapter 1608 Northwest Conference?

Ziz-zi——

Liu Yu led a group of workers in front and sawed down the forest in front with an electric saw.

The small forest between Nanwan Lake and the ditch they built was quickly sawed down by them. While they were sawing the trees, other workers behind them were not idle.

Help to move the sawn trees away.

Every second counts.

This forest is only a few dozen meters long and was soon sawed.

The sound of the chainsaw was huge. A small number of zombies in the lake that had not landed before heard the sound and rushed over. They were killed by Xia Liangfeng and others.

After this forest was sawed open, there was no longer any obstruction between the ditch and Nanwan Lake.

Rumble!

Two cranes drove to the lake.

On the shore, Xia Liangfeng and others stood five meters away from the lake, holding guns and pointing them at the lake. Once a zombie appeared, they would be killed immediately.

A brigade has 200 people, 200 armed militiamen, and 200 pairs of eyes staring at them. As long as the zombie emerges from the water, it will be killed immediately.

The crane drove to the shore, and Liu Yu and Xie Changshan also walked here.

Two dyed wooden stakes were inserted on the shore. This was the dock construction site that Xie Changshan had found in advance.

"Bring the caisson column here, and get the crane ready!" Liu Yu used the intercom to contact the forklift behind.

Seven or eight forklifts lifted the one-ton caisson from the bottom and inserted it to the side of the crane.

The crane lowered the boom, and a special worker buckled the boom to the caisson.

The operator in the crane moved the boom into the lake.

The boom sank to the bottom of the water until the caisson landed on the bottom of the lake.

After the caisson sank to the bottom of the lake, the crane released the buckle, and the boom floated to the surface, repeating the operation of lowering the caisson.

Seven or eight forklifts inserted the caisson and transported the caisson to the lakeside non-stop.

Two cranes, one on the left and one on the right.

"There is another crane, why not use them together to make it faster?" Ding Meng asked, pointing to the crane behind after seeing the two cranes start construction.

Xie Changshan shook his head and said, "The space is too small, two cranes are enough, and another crane can only be placed in the middle, which is prone to accidents."

"Okay, but it doesn't look fast." Ding Meng frowned.

Xie Changshan thought for a while and said, "Don't worry, as long as the caisson is built, the speed of filling it later will be very fast."

Bang bang bang!

A zombie climbed up when the crane arm sank to the surface of the water.

The crane arm was exposed to the surface of the water, and the zombie was also exposed to the surface of the water.

Xia Liangfeng and others shot and killed the zombie immediately after seeing the zombie.

Plop!

The zombie fell into the water and sank.

After a wave of bombs and horns, most of the zombies in the lake have been lured out.

This lake is very large, covering dozens of square kilometers and 20 kilometers wide from east to west.

With a large area, there will definitely be some zombies that have not come out.

Therefore, during the construction, from time to time, a few zombies will be attracted by the noise and float to the surface.

They are greeted by only bullets.

After the crane operated for more than ten minutes, the caissons emerged from the water as they were stacked up.

Each caisson is one meter long, wide and high, with a volume of 1 cubic meter.

The lake water depth on the shore is relatively low, only two meters. In these ten minutes, they have stacked two small docks of five or six meters long.

"Okay, fill the sand and gravel on the dump truck." After seeing this scene, Xie Changshan immediately gave instructions to Liu Yu.

Dozens of dump trucks loaded with stones and sand lined up to the shore.

Reverse the truck, aim the truck bucket at the gap in the middle of the two small docks, and dump the stones and sand on the truck.

The caisson can prevent these sand and gravel from rolling to other places and concentrate them in the space surrounded by the caissons on both sides.

A dump truck has 25 cubic meters of sand and gravel, but the gap in the middle is seven or eight meters. After several dump trucks dumped down, the gap was filled with sand and gravel.

A dock with a width of nearly ten meters is being widened step by step.

After transporting the sand and gravel on the truck, the dump truck immediately turned around and drove to the trading market.

The trading market has been under construction and a large amount of sand and gravel is stored.

So far, there are still a steady stream of transport convoys loading construction materials outside and transporting them to the trading market.

Three hours passed in a blink of an eye.

Under their continuous operation, Ding Meng saw with his own eyes a dock with a length of ten meters and a width of nearly ten meters appear in front of him.

In these three hours, forty dump trucks transported back and forth, and each dump truck transported three times.

Thousands of tons of sand and gravel sank into the lake, and then the rollers rolled back and forth to level the road surface, forming such a small dock.

According to their original plan, they wanted to build an eight-meter-wide dock, but plans cannot keep up with changes, so a ten-meter-wide dock is also good.

However, as they work deeper into the lake, the deeper the depth, the more caissons and sand and gravel they need.

Another hour later, it was five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour before dark.

Ding Meng found Xie Changshan, "Let's do this for today. It will be dark in another hour. Let's continue tomorrow."

Xie Changshan looked at the dock that had grown to twelve meters and nodded, "Okay, I'll ask them to clean it up and call it a day!"

A few minutes later, the crane stopped, and several dump trucks that were transporting dirt lined up to dump the sand and gravel on the trucks into the middle of the caisson.

"Call it a day, return to the base." Liu Yu kept repeating with a loudspeaker.

There were hundreds of zombie corpses floating on the lake, all of which were killed by Xia Liangfeng and his team.

Some zombies wanted to go ashore, but they were shot as soon as they went ashore.

These corpses were left here, and there was no need to salvage them.

Because at night, the zombies in the lake would naturally eat them all.

The crane retracted its boom, and the driver drove the crane to the ditch.

Cranes are very expensive, and there are only a dozen cranes in the entire oil city. It would be painful to lose one.

Although it is unlikely that someone will drive away at night, it is just in case.

Anyway, it is not far to drive back.

The dump truck, carrying the workers, drove towards the trading market.

Xia Liangfeng and Ding Meng and other guards also went to the trading market.

Today's mission was very smooth. After most of the zombies in the lake were led out and solved, a lot of unnecessary troubles were reduced for subsequent construction.

The dock project was carried out very smoothly.

On the armored vehicle.

Xie Changshan said with a smile:

"Captain Ding, the progress is too smooth. What I was most worried about at the beginning was that the zombies in the lake would put pressure on the project, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth."

"According to this progress, the dock will be built tomorrow, and the water intake building will be built the day after tomorrow."

Ding Meng nodded and said:

"Well, I will lead the team again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and Xia Liangfeng and the others will be there later."

"Okay, thank you Captain Ding."

"No, I am also obeying the orders from above."

Northwest.

A factory building four kilometers away from the Northwest Base, on the fifth floor.

Hei Shou rubbed his face, and a lot of dead skin fell off his face.

The climate here is too dry.

After coming to the northwest for half a month, they changed two places and found this best observation point.

The most troublesome thing here is to add water. Every time they have to take the risk to secretly get water from the upper reaches of the Beida River.

In order to reduce the number of times they take water, they got four large barrels of more than ten liters, and adding water once can last for a month.

In order to save water resources, they didn't take a shower for half a month, and they didn't even wash their faces.

They even drank the mouthwash when they rinsed their mouths.

"Old Zheng, so many people came from the east and west these two days. I guess there should be a meeting in the northwest."

Zheng Shiwu put away the telescope and said to Heishou:

"Let's go. It's dark. We should go down."

"Okay, let's drink tonight?"

"No, we have to contact the oil city tonight and report the situation observed in the past two days."

"Okay."

The two of them came to the door with small packages on their backs. After observing around, they bent down and walked downstairs.

They came to the house next door. As before, they lived in the cellar.

The temperature difference between day and night in the northwest is very large. It is more than 20 degrees during the day and only a few degrees at night.

The cellar is insulated and much warmer than outside.

They brought a few batteries to charge the radio station.

Originally they wanted to bring a solar panel, but the solar panel reflects light and is easily discovered, so they can only save electricity.

Generally, they contacted Oil City once every two days, and turned off the radio when not in use to save power.

They moved the radio to the entrance of the cellar and opened the baffle above the cellar to prevent it from affecting the radio signal.

Zizizizi——

"I am Zheng Shiwu, calling Oil City."

Zheng Shiwu called several times in a row, and one minute later.

A human voice mixed with the sound of electricity came.

"Received, this is Oil City."

Zheng Shiwu hurriedly said after hearing the operator's voice:

"A lot of people came to the northwest yesterday, and it seems that they all came from other places. Black Hand and I suspect that they are plotting something."

The operator's pupils shrank slightly when he heard this.

"Okay, wait a moment, I'll ask the director to come and talk to you."

After that, the operator quickly looked at someone next to him, "Go and call Director Luo."

A few minutes later, Lao Luo hurried over.

"What's the news about Zheng Shiwu and the others?" Lao Luo asked the operator as soon as he came in.

The operators in the headquarters base and Oil City are very important.

As operators, they get to know confidential information at the first time, so the screening assessment standards are very high.

There is a hard-core indicator for this position, that is, you must be a level 2 outer city personnel or above to be able to take up the position.

In the past, when the scale of the Dazhangshu base was not that large, there was no such position as the operator.

But with the development of the base, the Dazhangshu base has spanned three places, the situation is changing dynamically, and emergencies may occur at any time.

It is necessary to maintain 24-hour communication at any time, so such a position was specially set up.

After hearing what Lao Luo said, the operator stood up quickly.

"Yes, Zheng Shiwu said that there is movement in the northwest. There are many people coming from outside in the northwest now. He suspects that the northwest is plotting something again."

"Well, I know."

Lao Luo sat on the stool and turned on the play button.

"I am Director Luo San, Zheng Shiwu, you said that there are a large number of outsiders pouring in from the northwest? Can you be more specific? How many people, and from which direction?"

After hearing Director Luo's voice, Zheng Shiwu sat up straight.

"Yesterday evening, a helicopter flew in from the east. There was a man in a white coat in the helicopter. There were also a few people. Judging from their clothes, they should not be from the northwest base."

"There was a convoy coming from the west this morning with oil barrels on it."

"It's mainly these two waves of people, the rest look like stragglers."

When Lao Luo heard this, he frowned and thought.

He suddenly remembered that Ma Laoliu had contacted them before, and there would be a meeting in the northwest this month.

Northwest called all their affiliated forces over for a meeting.

The largest affiliated force in the east of the northwest is nothing more than Ma Laoliu. To the west of the northwest base, plus Zheng Shiwu said there are many oil barrels, it should be the people stationed in the Yumen Oilfield in the northwest.

According to Ma Laoliu, the northwest base will hold such a meeting basically every six months.

Ma Laoliu had contacted him the day before yesterday, saying that they would go to the northwest base for a meeting.

It is estimated that what Zheng Shiwu saw was this conference, where affiliated forces from all parties came over.

"Okay, I understand. The one flying over from the east should be Ma Laoliu. I told you before that the one flying over from the west should be their people stationed in Yumen Oil Field."

Lao Luo continued to explain: "You should keep an eye on me at all times and report to me any situation at any time."

"Also, is everything okay over there? Have you encountered any difficulties?"

Zheng Shiwu replied: "There are no difficulties, everything is fine."

"Okay, you are lucky. When you come back this time, I will definitely give you the things promised to you!" Lao Luo gave Zheng Shiwu a shot in the arm.

"Understood, thank you, Director Luo."

After the call ended, Black Hand came over and said, "Old Zheng, how are you? What are you talking about in Oil City?"

Zheng Shiwu's nose twitched as he noticed the strong smell of alcohol.

"Damn it, didn't I tell you not to drink today? Ever since I found those two bottles of wine, you've been drinking it every day until you die!"

Blackhand was scolded a lot and didn't talk back.

He burped and said awkwardly:

"I thought you couldn't find it."

"Shit, it smells so strong of alcohol! You can smell it as soon as you open your mouth."

"Seriously, what did Oil City say?" Black Hand asked seriously.

Zheng Shiwu opened his mouth and told him what Lao Luo had just said to him.

The black hand slapped his mouth and said, "This Ma Laoliu is really an old man, but I think it will be difficult for him to steal meteorites in the northwest base."

"The defense inside the northwest wall is so strict that it would be harder to steal a meteorite than to climb into the sky."

Zheng Shiwu put away the radio station, patted his black hand and said:

"Whatever, let's just treat it like a show. Our mission is to monitor anyway. We don't care what happens in the northwest base."

"The enemy!" Black Hand raised his head and took another sip of wine.

This wine has been stored for more than ten years and is delicious but not intoxicating.

The two big men had nothing to do here. They were watching during the day, but they were really bored at night, so the gangster had no choice but to drink to survive.

"Now that I think about it, I really miss the days of the trading market. I would have a drink, go to the bar to dance, and go to Tingfeng Tower in the evening. Those days were simply not so beautiful!"

Black Hand muttered: "When this mission is over, I must take a good rest for a while. 500 points, tsk tsk! Make a fortune!"

Zheng Shiwu glanced at him and stood up, "Come here and help me close the cellar baffle."
