Chapter 954: Ants Moving, Snakes Crossing the Aisle

September 24th.

As October approaches, the autumn wind picks up and becomes cooler.

Many people changed from short sleeves to long sleeves, but most of the cooperators were not so particular and just put on a layer of long sleeves over the short sleeves they originally wore.

Oil City.

Xiao Jun checked the vehicle and said to Ju Tianrui behind him:

"Battal Commander, I leave this to you. Please take care, we are returning to the base."

Huhu——

The temperature in the north dropped faster than in the south, and a gust of wind blew Xiao Jun's combat uniforms rattling.

Ju Tianrui nodded and said, "Okay, please pay attention to safety on the road."

Xiao Jun looked at Dongtai, Zuo Ruxue and others next to Ju Tianrui, waved to them, and then got on the infantry fighting vehicle.

Said to the driver: "Let's go!"

boom--

The vehicle started, followed by dozens of vehicles, carrying more than 600 tons of oil, one truck of medicine, two trucks of salt, and two trucks of sugar, and headed out towards the gate.

It wasn't until they drove out of the Oil City that Ju Tianrui said to Dongtai:

"Why do you suddenly want to stay? You should be able to return to the base."

Dongtai smiled and said: "Batalion Commander, I want to stay and help you. Anyway, Xiao Jun should not have any problems when he returns, and there is nothing he wants me to do."

When Ju Tianrui heard what he said, he felt something in his heart. He patted Dongtai on the shoulder, and then walked towards the wall.

Oil City is surrounded by plains, and the view is excellent. You can also see Xiao Jun's vehicles retreating away.

The weather has been hot over the past few months, causing the surrounding land to be very dry.

The convoy stirred up sand and dust, and they drove slowly southward in the dust and under the sunlight.

Withdrawing his gaze, Ju Tianrui looked at He Bing and Zhou Ran who were conducting final inspections on the mobile gate knife not far away, thought for a while and walked over.

"He Gong, how is the mobile knife?"

He Bing put the wrench on the ground, straightened up and said, "It's almost the same. I'll check the circuit again and start testing in an hour."

"Okay, what should I do if the mobile gate knife fails?" Ju Tianrui asked He Bing and the others at this time, considering that He Bing and the others would have to return to the Da Zhangshu base.

He Bing pointed to the two team members who had been following him these days and said:

"I have involved them in the recent installation process. There are only a few key points that can cause failure. They should all understand it. I also told them how to repair the failure. If it doesn't work, if they can't solve it, just contact me. .

If the military radio station can't explain clearly, I will talk to Mr. Li at that time, and it won't matter if I come over again. "

Ju Tianrui felt relieved when he heard his reply.

"That's good."

Then he said to the team members sent to study with He Bing and the others these days: "Study hard, and you may not be able to use it when the time comes."

"clear."

He Bing glanced at Ju Tianrui and then said: "I told the jackals and ants of the special team that we can get the mobile gate knife this morning. In the afternoon, we will return to the Da Zhangshu base. It will happen to be at the transfer station. Join Xiao Jun and the others."

Ju Tianrui looked at the jackals and ants next to the helicopter in the oil city, his eyes full of admiration.

He is also someone who came from the army. He has always respected the kings of soldiers like Ant Jackal. With them around, he seems to have confidence.

Xiao Jun left with dozens of combatants on the front foot, and people like Ant were also leaving. At this time, Ju Tianrui finally realized what Lao Bi felt at the time.

Watching the number of people in Oil City dwindle, coupled with the cold autumn wind, adds to the feeling of loneliness and loneliness.

Ju Tianrui took a deep breath and said slowly: "Okay, look at you, you might as well go back early. The tasks at the base are heavy. Thank you for coming here this time."

Seeing that Ju Tianrui's tone seemed a little strange, I recalled that Ju Tianrui just watched Xiao Jun's motorcade leave blankly, and I made some guesses in my mind.

He smiled and said, "We'll wait for you at the base. Besides, it's so convenient now. Maybe I'll be sent here again by President Li in a few days."

Hearing what He Bing said, Ju Tianrui felt the same and his expression softened a lot.

He nodded and said, "You're right, that's fine, I won't disturb you anymore."

After saying that, he walked under the wall. He wanted to check the repair problems of the oil well again.

Mr. Li is very concerned about this matter and would ask about it almost every day when communicating with Oil City.

After several months of reinforcements by Lao Bi, Xiao Jun, and Ju Tianrui, the height of the oil city wall has reached a height of nineteen meters.

Ju Tianrui also followed Li Yu's instructions and packed the refined diesel gasoline into different buildings.

In addition, the dozens of sets of radiation protection suits that Li Yu sent last time are also placed on the third floor of the tallest building.

When I walked to the oil well, the frame I built was still there.

Next to him, Marcello was squatting in front of the toolbox, seemingly rummaging for something.

"How are you, horseman? Can you do it tomorrow?" Ju Tianrui walked over and asked.

Marseille was startled by Ju Tianrui's sudden words. He raised his head and took a breath and said, "No problem, we will definitely get it done before tomorrow evening."

"Okay." Ju Tianrui nodded after hearing Marseille's reply.

But he said that Xiao Jun and others were driving all the way south and did not encounter any twists and turns on the way. They just had to be more vigilant when they passed a cross-river bridge on the way.

Previously, Li Yu led the main personnel of the Da Zhangshu base to the north and eliminated the motorcycle gangs, and then seized a large amount of supplies and vehicles.

On the way back, the convoy of hundreds of vehicles was like a long dragon.

When passing the cross-river bridge, the convoy was too long and attracted the attention of the zombies in the river, so a battle with the zombies broke out to protect the convoy.

However, several cars, more than a dozen cars, passed by in a flash. When the zombies in the river were awakened, they had already passed the bridge.

However, the amount of oil carried this time was not small. There were more than a dozen tank trucks alone, and some oil was in iron barrels and placed in trucks.

Including infantry fighting vehicles and other trucks, the convoy reached 50 vehicles.

This was the largest convoy size since General Manager Li personally led the team and led hundreds of vehicles across the river.

Creak——

The car stopped.

One kilometer away from the cross-river bridge.

Xiao Jun picked up the telescope and looked at the cross-river bridge. The water surface was sparkling under the sun, and there was no one on the cross-river bridge.

After observing for two minutes, Xiao Jun picked up the intercom and said to the convoy behind: "Everyone rush over as fast as possible, don't stop."

"If a car has a problem on the way, the people in the car should get off and get on another car immediately, don't stay on the bridge."

"Wait half an hour before sending someone to fix the car. Do you understand?"

As soon as the voice fell.

The intercom echoed:

"Received."

"Received."

"Received."

"Let's go!"

Xiao Jun said to the driver.

Boom!

The vehicle sped out in an instant, leading the way and rushing to the bridge.

Soon, the leading infantry fighting vehicle arrived at the bridge.

Rumble--

The water under the bridge rippled, and zombies emerged one after another.

However, Xiao Jun and others did not pay attention to these. What they needed to do now was to rush across the bridge spanning several kilometers at the fastest speed.

As time passed, one car after another got on the bridge.

More and more zombies emerged from the water. Some gathered on the bridge into the water, and some swam to the shore.

As the last car got on the bridge, a zombie finally swam to the mudflat and walked to the shore.

Three minutes later, Xiao Jun got off the bridge.

But he did not stop, and asked the driver to continue driving forward. Parking the car here would only cause a blockage for the vehicles behind.

One car after another got off the bridge.

When the last car got off the bridge, dozens of zombies had already rushed over to the shore on the lower side of the bridge.

However, Xiao Jun and his team were still one step faster.

The driver of the last car looked at the zombies more than ten meters behind and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little guy, you can still catch up with us like this."

As the vehicles drove, the zombies behind them were getting farther and farther away from them.

After driving for another five minutes, Xiao Jun picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the vehicles behind to report the number.

Hearing that all the cars were not left behind, Xiao Jun was relieved.

He said to the driver: "Slow down and let the convoy behind catch up."

"Okay." The driver slowed down, and the distance between the cars behind was shortened.

After another four hours, they finally arrived in Xiushui County.

But it was already afternoon.

Zhou Tian and his team, who were stationed at the Xiushui County transfer station, saw the convoy coming from a distance with a drone.

He said to Ant, who had just arrived here an hour ago:

"Xiao Jun and his team should be here, I'll go open the door for them."

Ant nodded and said: "Okay, you go, we will stay here tonight, and we will return to the big camphor tree base with Xiao Jun and his team tomorrow."

He Bing and his team took a helicopter, which was several times faster than Xiao Jun and his team on land.

So although they set off several hours later than Xiao Jun and his team, they arrived at the transfer station first.

Oil City.

Ju Tianrui looked at the mobile gate knife that He Bing and his team had tested twice in the morning, and opened Dongtai again.

The mobile gate knife slowly turned, making a sound of metal and stone.

Since there were no zombies, the sharp blades rubbed against each other and made a sharp sound, which made people's scalps numb after hearing it.

"Not bad, it's running well, turn it off." Ju Tianrui said to the team members behind him.

The team members walked under the wall and pressed a button in a room.

The mobile gate on the wall was instantly turned off.

Bang, bang, bang.

The mobile gate lost power and began to shrink, vertically attached to the wall and lowered.

Under the sunlight, the sharp blades reflected light.

In this room that controls the mobile gate, there are also several diesel generators and batteries stacked, which are the power sources of the mobile gate.

In order to prevent flooding in heavy rain, they raised the batteries and generators by half a meter.

Moreover, the drainage system in the oil city has been upgraded, and there should not be water accumulation in the city like the last heavy rain and flood.

Dazhangshu base.

Li Yu received a message from Ju Tianrui and learned that Xiao Jun and his team were on their way back to Dazhangshu base.

Calculating the journey, they should have arrived at the transfer station now.

Seeing that the oil from the oil city was about to be transported back, the transfer station had to be temporarily closed and the people inside had to return to the base.

Now it was time to prepare for the people in the five satellite cities to pack up and return to the big camphor tree base.

Although the five satellite cities also had walls, they were also protected by people from the outer cities.

However, this intensity cannot withstand the natural disaster that will break out in a few days.

Moreover, it is a continuous natural disaster. With only a wall less than ten meters high, it is very likely to be captured in the first wave of rainstorm zombies.

Even if it can survive, the people in the big camphor tree base will not be able to go out to replenish food and other supplies for the people in the satellite city in the subsequent natural disaster.

With the current situation of the satellite city, it is absolutely impossible to survive this natural disaster.

This is not the first time that non-staff and cooperative personnel have been asked to retreat to the big camphor tree base.

However, since the satellite city was built, although there have been two light rains occasionally, there has been no retreat.

This is also the first time that Li Yu has ordered a full retreat after the satellite city was built.

Moreover, this time the personnel are too widely distributed and there are many things, so it is a big project to let all five satellite cities retreat.

Li Yu put down the headset and frowned.

Walking out of the duty room, I felt a sultry wind, which made people feel suffocated.

The sky was full of birds, and many of them flew to the camphor tree base.

During the previous natural disaster, some birds chose to take refuge in many buildings at the camphor tree base.

Li Yu also deliberately opened the gymnasium to let the birds in.

Later, it seemed that a migratory bird effect was formed. Whenever a natural disaster was about to come, these birds would naturally fly to the camphor tree base.

Since there was no shortage of food, Li Yu ordered people not to harm these birds.

A dragonfly was flying in front of Li Yu.

Li Yu looked down at the bottom of the wall and saw countless dragonflies flying low.

Outside the wall, he even saw a black and white snake slithering in the woods.

The three wolfhounds that had been following Li Yu seemed to become depressed and a little anxious.

All this seemed to foreshadow something.

Li Yu wanted to talk to his second uncle, so he asked Li Haoran in the duty room: "Where is your dad? Where is he?"

"He's at the Second Outer City Maintenance Plant." Li Haoran replied.

"Okay."

Li Yu walked down from the wall and took a few steps.

He saw a group of ants on the ground, and they seemed to be moving.

The dense ants made Li Yu think.

In the twenty-four solar terms, when ants move and snakes cross the road, there will be heavy rain.

Insects and animals have a stronger sense of weather than humans.

Li Yu's eyes became firm, and he walked quickly to the second outer city.

The evacuation of the five satellite cities is imminent.

We can't wait any longer, and we must arrange the evacuation as soon as possible.

If we wait any longer, it will be too late.

It's just that he has planned to shelter the people in the satellite cities, the non-staff personnel, and the old cooperative personnel.

But what about the new people?

Li Yu is still struggling whether to let them in to hide.

If they are not allowed to come in, this natural disaster, the number of people who can survive may be less than one in five.
