Chapter 136: Garrisoned
The door of the jeep cab was hidden, Wang Agui climbed from the cab to the back compartment to check and found no danger, then opened the back door of the car, looking at the familiar military green, the strip seat that can sit for six soldiers to sit face-to-face, and the handle hanging down the roof, the three veterans have a long-lost feeling. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Agui got out of the car to be on guard, and Chen Ergou took a cavalry knife to search for zombies hidden in the corners of abandoned vehicles; Jin Yutang, as the only person who can repair cars, walked up to the jeep and lifted the engine cover to check whether the wiring was damaged. Beijing 202 Jeep almost all-mechanical car, almost no precision electronic instruments, and simple structure, most of the parts and 70% of the domestic car common, the most typical is the Jinbei car, many parts can be replaced directly by dismantling.
What's more, this Beijing 2020 Jeep is a military car, and its biggest advantages are strong, anti-manufacturing, and tossing resistance; And compared with the military jeeps that were all the rage before, its fuel consumption is much lower, which is the most important thing in this last era of fuel shortage. In peacetime, this kind of car is considered a low-end car, but in these last days, it is a real high-end car. Therefore, the Beijing 2020 Jeep, which is simple in structure, easy to maintain, and resistant to tossing, is definitely a must-have product for home travel in the last days, killing people, setting fires and cutting zombies, which has been unanimously recognized by Wang Agui, Chen Ergou, and Jin Yutang.
"Except for the battery that is out of power, the other parts are in good condition, and it seems that it has to be started by hand." Jin Yutang wiped his oily hand on the padded jacket and said, "I have to clean up the dust when I go back, there is too much dust." ”
"There seems to have been gunfire around here, and I found three bodies there, all in military uniforms, and there had been a shootout in this place." Chen Ergou came back, shook the two pistols in his hands and said, "This time there are two more 54s, not bad." ”
"I mean, there's no one in the car, and there's a bullet casing on the ground. Looks like they don't know about headshots, otherwise they wouldn't have seen a dead zombie in the area. Alas, reading the novel really doesn't know if it will delay the effort or save my life. Wang Agui threw away a bullet casing he had just picked up and said, "Lao Jin, you try to start the car, and we will see if there is anything we can take in the nearby car." ”
"The car in the back should be with this one." Chen Ergou pointed to the back of the 2020 jeep and said. Behind the 2020 Jeep is a Passat sedan, and then behind it is a Jinbei van, which also has a red plate from the Beijing Military Region, and it seems to be together.
It was a 60% new old Jinbei van, with the cab door hidden and a bullet hole in the windshield visible, and spiderweb-like splinters indicating that there had been a fierce shootout here. There were no blood stains on the front and passenger seats, which indicates that the battle took place outside the car, and the ground nearby except for the few broken corpses was the zombies who were locked in other cars and desperately slapped the windows, and the driver should have turned into a zombie chasing zombie army.
But it doesn't matter, what matters is what exactly is in this Jinbei car. Everyone opened the door of the carriage and saw that sixteen cardboard boxes were neatly stacked in the car, Wang Agui and Chen Ergou dragged out a box and threw it on the road, Han Yan took out a saber and gently picked up the mouth of the box sealed with tape, and then lifted the lid of the cardboard box.
"Wow, military coat!" Han Yan shouted happily, and there were layers of military coats neatly stacked in this box; The military green under the plastic bag gives people a strong sense of security.
"Open another box." Chen Ergou and Wang Agui dragged all the boxes out, and Han Yan and Song Wan'er picked them up one by one to see what was inside.
"Four boxes of military coats; four boxes of winter training uniforms; two boxes of camouflage for training uniforms; two boxes of winter leather gloves; two boxes of winter leather boots; two boxes of military quilts; We've got something to go to! Soon Han Yan reported the number, and her voice was already out of tune with excitement. It's really sleepy and someone sends pillows, they are short of winter clothes, but there are 16 boxes here! This should be a winter coat for a garrison, maybe the survivors passing by didn't expect what supplies would be in this broken gold cup, these 16 boxes of supplies were left quietly in the car for more than two months, waiting for their real owners.
"Great! Each person picks four sets of clothes and boots, and puts the rest back. Wang Agui went into the car and rummaged around the cab to see if there was anything else to take away.
"Brother Gui, why don't you take it all away? Isn't this car impossible to drive? Han Yan asked puzzled; Chen Ergou looked at Song Wan'er and Song Wan'er looked at Wang Agui, they didn't understand why Wang Agui didn't want so many things, but they had to put them all back.
"It's hard to chew too much." Wang Agui came out of the cab with two thermos cups, half a piece of Chinese and a roll of toilet paper and explained, "Where do we put so many things back?" We don't have enough space at all, so if we have to move something, don't we have to stay? With so many things, we have to wear them until the Year of the Monkey. Four sets for one person are enough. In case someone joins in the future, just take them with you. ”
After thinking about it, everyone began to pick out clothes and carry quilts, although they were a little reluctant, but this thing was not food and ammunition after all, and it was also a burden to carry; However, the joy of having new clothes to wear is no less than the feeling of having two new clothes for the New Year when I was a child.
At this time, Jin Yutang had already turned on the car, and first let the engine run to charge the battery; Wielding sapper shovels and rifle butts, five men searched for supplies in nearby vehicles. It's not easy to come out, this is the advantage of having a lot of people, otherwise Wang Agui and the three of them really wouldn't dare to look for things on the highway with such fanfare. In fact, there were a lot of materials on these fleeing cars, and most of the people who rode in the cars did not escape the fate of corpses, even if there were survivors, they didn't have time to smash every car to see what was inside.
For men, the tobacco in the car is the most precious, and they even found a box of little foolish fairies in the trunk of a Hiromoto Odyssey, which is more exciting than anything for a man who has not smelled alcohol for a long time. For women, facial tissues, toilet paper and even sanitary napkins in some women's bags are the most exciting for them; In addition, Song Wan'er also found some change of underwear and underwear, and at this time, she didn't care who wore it, presumably the women who could sit in the car knew to keep it hygienic.
Han Yan found some men's change of underwear and thermal underwear from the trunk of a long-distance bus, and Wang Agui had not changed them for more than two months
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) of the autumn clothes and pants can be changed. In the end, Song Wan'er also found a laptop that she dreamed of-"Apple" ultra-thin notebook, which must have been used by a big boss, and the information in it was not uncommon for her to read, and the former trade secrets were worthless in the last days.
Of course, everyone has not forgotten to collect the remaining gasoline from the abandoned car fuel tank, the weather is getting colder, and it is becoming more and more difficult to find oil in the future, so it is better to stock up on it now.
But the problem comes again, how to drive the car back, although there is open space on the road, but it is only suitable for motorcycles to pass through, the car can't drive at all, otherwise so many cars don't have to be stuck here and wait for death. Everyone racked their brains and couldn't think of a better way, they could only move one car at a time, there was no need to go back to the previous place, just drive the car to the next approach bridge, this last day is the same everywhere. In this way, the five of them stopped and stopped until noon the next day, and did not drive the car under the nearest approach bridge.
"Is this Zhuozhou or Shijiazhuang?" The car stopped under the approach bridge, and Chen Ergou was lying on his motorcycle flipping through the map, which was a military map that marked the locations of all the garrisons of the Beijing Military Region in Beijing, Hebei, and other cities. But for now, this map is the same as a normal map, because the garrison points are in the city and county, and even if you have a map, you can't enter the place ruled by zombies.
"Alas, it's a pity, the highest of these soldiers is a third-class non-commissioned officer, and the authority is not enough; If only you could find a high-ranking official, take a high-authority military map. Chen Ergou sighed.
Military maps have their particularities, how high the military rank is and how high the authority of the military map; The military map that the third-class non-commissioned officer gets is only the location of the garrison; If you can find a military map with a higher rank, it will indicate the detailed location of military reserve warehouses and major garrison bases, and even the location of fortifications of various secret levels.
"Whatever, wherever he goes; Heaven and earth are everywhere in my home, and I am not afraid of anything in the north and south of the river-" Wang Agui lay on the motorcycle and excitedly pulled two lyrics, even out of tune with the wrong words, "We have to find a place to stay, it's not always a way to run around, and we have to have a place to put the materials we bring in in the future." Yesterday was a bit of a miscalculation, and that Jinbei car should really have driven over. If you want to change places, you have to change to a bigger one. ”
"We have to find a place with a cellar, it has to be easy to hide, don't let us go out to collect supplies, someone will copy our back road." Jin Yutang leaned on the steering wheel and looked at his dirty face in the rearview mirror and said.
"By the way, old Kim, do you remember? There is a small gas station near Zhuozhou, newly built, and the oil tank is still on the ground; Didn't we pass by there when we came? Han Yan suddenly thought of something and said.
"It's too dangerous, it's right on the side of the road—well, yes, the most dangerous place is the safest place, isn't the basement where the tanks are put in ready-made cellars?" Jin Yutang patted his head and said happily.
"Do you remember where it was? Let's go now! Chen Ergou closed the map and started the motorcycle.
Before dark, the five of them came to the little gas station; Standing outside the small gas station, the five of them felt that this place was really blessed, as if it was specially left to them by God. The small gas station has not yet been built, all the houses are not even glassed, and the houses are full of building materials and decoration materials; Several abandoned engineering trucks that had been drained of oil were left in the open space in front of the station, the basement where the oil tanks were put was still empty, and the huge oil tanks that were ready to be put in not far away were honestly parked on a huge trailer, with iron chains on them, as if they had just driven to this vicinity and were ready to be hoisted on a day when they encountered a corpse.
The basement is 5 meters wide, 8 meters long and 4 meters high, and the concrete is poured and formed; The bottom area is more than 40 square meters, and it is covered with fallen leaves, garbage and water stains. In the lower right corner of the basement, there is a small iron gate 2 meters high and 50 centimeters wide and a small compartment 3 meters wide and 5 meters long outside. This small compartment is designed to maintain the oil storage tank. This section of the national highway is built on a hill, and a few meters south of the national highway is a dirt slope with a drop of more than ten meters, and below the soil slope is woods and farmland, and the village can be faintly seen in the distance. The small gas station is built on the edge of this soil slope, so although the small compartment is a basement floor, it belongs to the same plane as the responsibility forest under the soil slope; There is also a door frame on the maintenance room that has not yet been installed, through which you can go straight to the eerie responsibility forest behind.
Wang Agui checked it out and found that the small gas station was built on an even older building. Next to the part at the bottom of the dirt slope is a sluice-like warehouse-type building, which was supposed to be built in the fifties and sixties of the last century during the great water conservancy project, but now it is dilapidated. The storehouse-like building is 8 meters deep, 7 meters wide and 3 meters high, with one meter underground, a slope leading to the ground, which is made of mud and red bricks at the end. Half of the load-bearing walls of the small gas station are made from old ready-made buildings - a real way to save money! There is a ready-made gate at the entrance of this building, presumably the owner of the gas station wants to use it as a garage, the load-bearing wall of the building smashed open a door, and the small maintenance room inside is connected to a small door that can just enter a person, which can be cheaper Wang Agui and them, no longer have to work hard to build a garage.
Next to the basement is a huge steel plate ready for capping, the crane or something is ready-made, just install the steel plate, this area of the basement can be inhabited.
Saying that this place is good, it is completely from the perspective of the military, firstly, the small gas station is located in the middle of nowhere, and there are woods next to it, which is highly hidden; Second, this place is not yet finished, and the empty oil storage tank is placed outside, and at a glance you know that there is nothing to ask for here, and the time of the survivors is precious, and the fool will come to see if there is anything to scavenge; As long as the ground engineering is done perfectly, the team of survivors passing by here will not even notice that there is someone hiding here. In the eyes of ordinary people, the people who live here are obviously serving food to the zombies, and few people can think that there are people living in the basement - of course, the steel plate on the top needs to be specially modified, and something should be painted on it so that the smell will not be too obvious. Fourth, the most important thing is that this small gas station may have been invested and built by the villagers themselves, and a pressurized water well was drilled here for the convenience of life, which is no less valuable than guns and ammunition for the survivors who are worried about water; At the same time, it also means that you can wash clothes and take a shower in the future; The days of unkempt, stinging, lice crawling are finally possible
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page) to declare it over.
"In case someone who really has a spare egg thinks of it, I say in case, let's take a gun and do it with them; No, the car drove down the dirt slope and through the woods just to stop behind here, and there was a haystack there, and when the time came, make a camouflage net and put it on it, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully. Wang Agui explained the benefits of this gas station to the two ladies.
"The days of hiding in the east can finally come to an end, and it seems that this place is much safer than that house." Song Wan'er sighed with emotion after listening.
The next day, five people began intense construction; Due to the zombie activity nearby, as soon as the car starts the zombie, the zombies will come, and the five people have to hide or drive the motorcycle to lure the zombies away, and wait for the zombies to pass, and then continue the construction; In addition, you have to go out hunting to find food, so the construction period becomes very long.
The construction and renovation started from the basement, although the strength of the steel plate is very high, and it doesn't matter if the heavy truck is parked above, but for the sake of insurance, everyone still uses bricks in the middle of the basement to level the two load-bearing pillars and the cement groove at the edge of the basement, and the steel plate can be pressed. There are still some scrap steel plates on the engineering vehicle that I don't know where to prepare, although the strength is not as large as the basement steel plate, but it is still no problem to sleep people. So on the other half of the basement without a door, three two-meter-high load-bearing walls were built, covered with steel plates, which just divided the four-meter-high space into two floors, and the lower part could be used as a warehouse, and the steel plates on top were covered with a layer of styrofoam and military quilts to make warm beds, of course, there were ladies' boudoirs; Gentlemen have a couple of single beds in the other half of the space.
After the renovation of the basement, Jin Yutang drove the car to pull the iron chain and drag the capping steel plate to seal the roof of the basement. Then take out the engineering sealant and put a layer in the gap between the steel plate and the cement tank, and then use the cement inside and outside to smear a layer to prevent rainwater leakage; The steel plate with very fast thermal conduction makes the insulation problem very severe, and we have to use the decoration of styrofoam, yellow straw or something to make a thick insulation layer ceiling under the steel plate, which is better than nothing, and it is much stronger than the wind and rain outside. The general layout of the basement came out, and the five people could finally move into the basement from the haystack next to it.
The garage door outside is two iron doors equipped with pulleys to open horizontally, Wang Agui and they welded a movable shutter with those useless prefabricated boards and steel bars, and glued wicker, wooden boards and other useless things, and then a thick layer of thatch on the outside, covering the soil slope, just blocking half of the iron door, only the Beijing jeep parked inside, and the other door was not going to be opened. The other iron gate was actually made of thatched haystacks. One of the two haystacks is hollow and active, and the other is real, and the two haystacks seem to be connected together when the blinds are closed, and you can't see that there is a hole in it from a distance.
At the same time, the windows of the maintenance room of more than ten square meters outside and the door leading to the outside were also sealed with bricks, and the outside was smeared with a layer of cement, so that no one could see that there was a sign of a door here. Personnel in and out from the garage door left in and out of the small door, first through the garage and then into the maintenance room, and then into the basement, the triple protection is much safer.
The gasoline-powered welders on the engineering vehicles are carried into the maintenance room to charge the large batteries that have been removed from the engineering vehicles; With the battery, some simple small appliances can be used in the basement, and lighting is no longer a problem. A small pump was cleaned and converted into a water pump, a rubber hose led the well water into the maintenance room, and the wellhead was covered with brick bricks and thatch. In this way, a small room of three square meters can be used as a bathroom with a water outlet in the maintenance room. In short, human wisdom is infinite, as long as you want to do what you can do, there is nothing that cannot be done.
Although no one has done these masonry work, it is still possible to make some small modifications according to the gourd painting scoop; Even so, it took them a long time - their physical strength was not enough to sustain a long period of labor. Three weeks later, a small base was built that was rough but very good to live in, and Wang Agui drove a Jinbei cart to pull a cart of compost from the farmland and sprinkled a layer around the basement, which smelled strong enough, but it could well mask the smell of human habitation - although this was learned in the novel, it was at least a way to use it or not.
The small base was finally built, and that night, the five people took turns to take a shower, change into clean clothes, and sit in a circle of seats wrapped in brand-new military coats; Several small lamps were firmly glued to the walls of the basement with industrial glue, and long wires were connected to the batteries outside. The power of the small table lamp is not large, and the dim light illuminates the basement of more than 40 square meters, which is both warm and weird.
"I finally have a home." Song Wan'er leaned on Wang Agui's arms and enjoyed this short period of warmth. Wang Agui, who was refreshed, gently stroked Song Wan'er's long slippery hair—something she couldn't have imagined three weeks ago.
"yes, I finally have a home." Han Yan shook off her long wet hair, wrapped her military coat tightly, leaned against the wall, and sighed. What a woman desires most in her heart is always a stable home, and the word "home" has an unimaginable importance for women. For women, only a place that truly belongs to them can make them feel safe deep down; A woman who has been out for a long day can only relax when she returns to that familiar place - preferably with a strong arm and a lovely child at home.
"I said ladies don't relax, maybe one day we'll run away again." Chen Ergou was sitting in front of a random table playing Warcraft on the laptop, and said unconvinced in his voice. He's just a bachelor, but fortunately he is accompanied by a game, otherwise he won't be suffocated to death when he looks at the two pairs of people? The former veteran of the flower bush has now fallen to this step of the field, in Song Wan'er's words, it is retribution.
"Gui, when are we leaving? We don't have much food left. Jin Yutang pretended to discuss business, and moved to Han Yan's side, this is another cute man who doesn't understand women's minds, Han Yan has actually identified him in his heart, but Jin Yutang is still stupid and can't see it; How can the relationship established after more than three months of living and dying together be interfered with by any other factor? Maybe Han Yan didn't look down on Jin Yutang before, but after this desperate situation of life and death, any woman's heart will accept the man who will never leave her in a desperate situation, even if he is really ugly, stupid, can't say witty things, and can't make women happy
