20. Ready to sweep the goods

After eating this "big meal" at sea, Haichen turned on the ship's radio.

The signal at sea was not very good, barely able to receive a few stations. It's just that the content has been switched to automatic mode, repeatedly reminding the surviving residents to stay indoors or high in the building, waiting for rescue.

It seems that the situation on land continues to deteriorate.

Lu Rulan followed Haichen to the deck. Haichen put away the anchor and set sail again.

"We're now offshore at a depth of about 13 meters, and a little further west is where we're going. The smog over the sea is a bit big today, so you can't see it yet. ”

The sailboat began to sail again. Last night, Lu Rulan couldn't see the whole picture of the ship, as bright as today, from the stern to the bow of the boat.

He sat on the side of the ship and quietly admired it for a while, and suddenly asked: "Ships have names, what is the name of this ship?" ”

"Numbered 324615, no name."

Haichen slowly turned the steering wheel in his hand: "Not long after I bought it, something happened to my family." Later, I didn't have the heart to do tricks. Now, I still can't think of a suitable name, so I might as well call it 'home'. ”

"Home?"

Lu Rulan chewed on the word, "You can't live a lifetime on a ship." You also need fresh water, food, and it's unrealistic to just eat fish. ”

"I know, that's why I brought you here."

As soon as Haichen's words fell, he saw that the fog in front of him quickly faded, and black land began to appear.

Lu Rulan stood at the bow of the boat in two or three steps and looked out. I saw a straight coastline stretching out to the left and right. At first glance, the shore looks flat and empty, but if you look closely, it seems that there are some boxy factories.

"What is this place?"

"Offshore Terminals in City Z."

Haichen simply explained: "Z city has developed rapidly in the past ten years, and the original small port cannot meet the needs of use, and other places are not suitable for building ports. So, they reclaimed four artificial islands outside the old port, which were connected to the land and each other by trestle bridges. Cargo ships entering and leaving the port dock at these four wharves to load and unload their cargo. ”

Lu Rulan immediately understood: "So, you brought me here just for these goods?" ”

"That's a mustβ€”think about it, the shore has been in chaos for almost half a day and a night, and all the food and drink in the supermarket stores have been looted. If you want to make material supplies, I'm afraid there is no better choice than here. ”

With that, Haichen put away his sails and started the motor to let the ship slowly approach the dock. On the surface, at least, the docks were quiet and nothing out of the ordinary.

Lu Rulan soon saw the orange-red bridge crane standing tall on the shore, and the yellow forklift parked on the side of the road. A qiΔ“ is cold, like an industrial factory.

He couldn't help but wonder, "What can we find here?" ”

Haichen smiled: "You can find the whole world." ”

In the blink of an eye, the sailboat was only five meters away from the pier. Haichen did not immediately land, but slowly moved along the straight shore.

"What are you going to do now?" Lu Rulan asked.

"Go find the trestle and block the passage between this pier and the land. In this way, the zombies on land will not be able to continue to invade this dock. We'll be able to move with confidence, and the plan is good. ”

"Sounds like it was already planned...... Honestly, have you been thinking about this for a long time? ”

"Who walks past the door of the lottery shop and doesn't fantasize that he has won 500 million."

"You're really a shame on the rich second generation."

"Each other, the wonder of the out-of-fashion star."

The two men were arguing, and the ship under their feet had made a big turn and sailed into the long waterway between the two docks.

After about five or six minutes, a wide trestle bridge about twenty-five or six meters long appeared in front of me.

Lu Rulan squinted her eyes and looked carefully: "This bridge can run several container trucks in parallel, right?" How to block? ”

"Let's go up and see."

Haichen found a shore with a ship pile and docked the ship. Two men took out crowbars and fishing forks from the cabin as weapons and went ashore.

After a whole night of tossing in the sea, Lu Rulan, who returned to land, felt that her body was still shaking up and down. He staggered a few steps, following closely behind Haichen, who was flying like a fly.

Less than five meters to the left of the landing point is the trestle. To their surprise, a double-trailer container truck was already parked at the end of the bridge.

Lu Rulan felt that there was something wrong: "...... Logically speaking, you can't just park on the pier, right? What if it causes congestion? ”

"There is indeed a problem." Haichen nodded, "This car must have been abandoned here, we look like we're going to have to be careful." ”

The easiest and most convenient way at the moment is to cross the container truck to block the trestle first, and then find something else to fill the remaining gap.

After determining such a "combat policy", the two men walked briskly onto the trestle while observing the movement in the truck.

When they got close enough, they noticed some blood stains on the front windshield of the truck. The driver was still sitting in the cab, motionless, and looked bloodied.

Is it an ordinary dead person, or a zombie? Haichen and Lu Rulan looked at each other, both having the same doubts in their hearts.

And the only way to solve the puzzle is to go over and see.

"You pull the door open in a moment, and I'll harpoon him at bay." Haichen deployed the battle plan: "We will fight quickly. ”

The two men slowed down and walked to the cab of the truck. Lu Rulan silently counted "one, two, three", and instantly pulled the car door open forcefully, and Haichen immediately raised his harpoon to defend himself.

However, what they didn't expect was that the driver was leaning against the door, and as soon as the door opened, it rolled down and hit Haichen's harpoon. And on the passenger seat beside him, a black shadow suddenly burst out!

"Be careful!"

Lu Rulan, who was quick-eyed, immediately went to close the car door and clamped the black shadow's legs. And Haichen quickly pulled the harpoon off the driver's corpse, stabbed it hard into the throat of the black shadow, and nailed it to the iron body!

Sure enough, it's a zombie.

Shocked, both of them stopped to gasp for breath, and then looked at each other again.

"We're quite acquiescent."

"Less nonsense, get to work!"

It's strange to say that the zombie was nailed to the neck by a harpoon, but it was still struggling. How to remove it from the car became a problem. In the end, Haichen found a bundle of rope from the ship, tied the zombie tightly and threw it to the edge of the bridge.

With that, the double-trailer container truck became their bag, and it was time to carry out the plan to block the bridge.

"The front of this car is high, and there is a wheel difference between the inner and outer wheels, you stand far away, I don't want to run over you."

Haichen, who jumped into the cab, said to Lu Rulan like this.

It turned out that he was really not modest, and after the big truck started, it slowly drove forward a few meters, and then began to reverse crookedly. Moved forward and backward for a while, clumsy as if a puppet mascot squeezed into the elevator.

Lu Rulan wanted to help command at first, but soon gave up this idea and hid far away.

It took about ten minutes for Haichen to finally reluctantly block the truck diagonally on the bridge deck. When the sound of the engine stopped, Lu Rulan immediately ran over to check and was stunned.

"Oh my God...... You see! ”

He pulled the Hechen, who had jumped out of the car, to the rear wheel.

I don't know what's going on, the zombie who was tied up just now has fallen under the wheels, and its head is gone.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's why I asked you to stay away from the car. Haichen sighed, "Fortunately, we finally know how to calm them down." ”

Lu Rulan was silent for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Isn't it cruel for us to do this?" ”

"It looks like it is." Haichen nodded, "But if one day I become like this, then I'd rather someone else crush me too." After all, they're not human anymore, and we're just sending them where they need to go. ”

As he spoke, he patted Lu Rulan on the shoulder: "Let's go, the living will always be busier than the dead." ”

There are still about four or five meters of space left in the trestle that need to be filled. This is not an impossible task for a terminal full of containers. Haichen and Lu Rulan quickly found a single truck loaded with empty containers and drove it steadily to the bridge deck, completely blocking the only way in and out of the island dock.

The "external trouble" has been initially resolved, but there are still "internal worries" -- in the process of searching for the single truck just now, Lu Rulan saw with her own eyes that there were mottled blood stains on many grounds, and even vaguely glimpsed piles of stump remains in the distance.

"I have a simple and crude method, and the safety factor is quite high."

Haichen bluntly threw out his plan: "Let's find another car and do a big ticket!" ”

Just do it, anyway, there are more containers on the dock than cars. They picked a nearby one that they could drive, hid in the cab, locked the door, fastened their seat belts, and quickly started it.

The white monocoque trucks began to move slowly along the horizontal and vertical container yard road.

"According to usage habits, the closest to the dock is likely to be the export container stacking area."

Haichen was driving the vehicle while explaining to Lu Rulan.

The scale of this container terminal is really not small, with colorful containers lined up, three layers inside and three layers outside, and four layers stacked at the top. In comparison, people seem small.

Lu Rulan asked, "What do the colors of these boxes mean?" Is red a dangerous good? ”

"The color is just a livery preference, and different shipping companies have different liveries. For example, this light green is sea freight, and gray is long shipping. As for the dangerous goods you mentioned, there are special yards that will not be put together with ordinary items. ”

Haichen explained, occasionally glancing in the rearview mirror, and suddenly lowered his voice.

"Fish on the hook!"

Lu Rulan immediately turned her head to look, and sure enough, she found that two zombies appeared about ten meters behind the car. They are apparently lurking on the docks, attracted by the sound of car engines.

Hatchen ignored them and continued to drive the vehicle forward at a constant speed.

"The front piece should be the import container area. You see, the colors will be a little richer than the exit zone. The emerald green is Evergreen, the silver-gray is the Danish Maersk, and the yellow is also a Danish company. ”

Although Haichen was like a treasure, Lu Rulan hardly had the heart to listen to his explanation - the number of zombies behind the car had increased to ten. And it looks like the speed of running is very fast.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ They're not really going to catch up, are they? ”

"Since you're so worried, let's get rid of these first."

As he spoke, Haichen slammed on the brakes and immediately began to reverse. The zombies that followed closely behind not only dodged, but actually swooped towards the back of the car, and the consequences can be imagined.

Listening to the series of crashes behind the car and the ensuing bumps, Lu Rulan grabbed the doorknob, secretly feeling that it would take a while to fully adapt to the rhythm of survival in this apocalypse.

After dealing with this group of zombies, the truck continues to wander through the middle of the container yard. They drove around the dock about three times, and dealt with five waves of zombies before and after, and then they felt a sense of security, and began to think about the most core and most anticipated problem.

Super sweep.
