Soon the matter of picking up people came to an end, except for the family of the deceased, everyone was basically happy. After the Civil Affairs Committee sent two staff members to indicate where the bodies were buried, the natives, who had brought their own farming tools, began digging around the cemetery.

The cemetery is located higher up from the water source, upwind from the site, more than 500 meters from the lumber mill, on the edge of the forest that has been cut down. Although the medical team was very reluctant to bury these corpses at that time, they still disinfected them with lime, but these corpses had been submerged for more than ten days.

At this time, Du Yande and Yang Minghuan were watching these people excavating corpses in the distance from the lookout platform on the westernmost side of the camp. A crowd of old and weak women and children crowded around the cemetery, and whenever a body was dug out, they rushed forward to look through it; It's their own relatives, they don't care that the corpse has begun to show a giant view (referring to the corpse beginning to swell), they just hugged it and wept there, if it wasn't their own relatives, they silently retreated and continued to look at the place not far away that was still being excavated.

"Alas......" Yang Minghuan was a little unbearable, wiped the corners of his eyes, and couldn't help sighing: "If I knew this, it would be better to burn humanity with a fire, lest they cry here." ”

"Not really." Du Yande shook his head and objected, "If you burn these corpses with a fire, people won't hate us to death, then it will be called crushing bones and ashes." ”

Yuan Zhenli, who was in charge of the lookout on the side, looked around vigilantly, "Why do I feel as if I smell a corpse smell now?" ”

"Won't it?" Du Yande hurriedly sniffed again, "The weather forecast says that it is an east wind today, blowing from the camp to the cemetery, and it is also sprinkled with lime, and we are more than five hundred meters away from there, so it is theoretically impossible to smell it." ”

"Alas," Yuan Zhenli shook his head, "Meow, it feels too miserable." ”

"yes, but it can't be helped." Yang Minghuan took over the conversation, "If we lose, now our heads will be cut off and sent to the county to exchange for silver." However, speaking of which, war is always an apocalyptic disaster for ordinary people. ”

"Oh, yes." Du Yande suddenly remembered something, "Yuan Zhenli, do you want to be on duty tonight?" ”

"Don't," Yuan Zhenli hurriedly shook his head, "Just kidding, I've already been on duty during the day, and I can't be tired to death if I'm on duty at night?" ”

"Today, Zhang Rusong brought a message from the county official, asking us to go to the banquet tonight, in a Zhuangzi outside the city. Will you come with us then? There is a work allowance! Du Yande asked tentatively.

"Do you have any meat to eat?" Yuan Zhenli hurriedly asked.

Du Yande nodded, but immediately shook his head again, "I'm afraid it's not easy to pack." ”

Yuan Zhenli hurriedly shook his head and waved his hand, "Then don't expect it!" I used to work enough overtime, but now I'm working overtime for a few dollars in allowance, so I might as well sleep in the dormitory. ”

"Well, how do you say those people recognized their own family?" Yang Minghuan pointed in the direction of the cemetery, "It's been more than ten days, and many corpses have been fatally injured and died, it stands to reason that they really can't even be recognized by their mothers, how can they be recognized?" ”

"You really can't open any pot," Du Yande couldn't help but complain, "Generally speaking, it's all about your clothes or some special scars on your body." By the way, which ones are going to decide tonight? ”

Yang Minghuan nodded, "In the evening, Li Jieqi will definitely go as a military commander, and he only resumed work yesterday after the attack of dengue fever, because he almost died of anger after missing this battle, so he strongly asked to go." In addition, Xue Ziliang and Zeng Zhigang are responsible for security work. Let's negotiate with Sun Wenbin and Zhang Yuan. ”

…………………………

When night was about to fall, under the leadership of Li Jieqi and Xue Ziliang, the veterans who went to the "banquet" were walking towards An Yuncheng along the official road that had just been trampled out by vehicles and a large number of people and animals today. In order to prevent these ancients from suddenly storming out and taking hostages to coerce them across the group, these people all wore thick stab-proof suits, 80 helmets, Li Jieqi even wore anti-cut gloves, and all five of them carried Glock pistols, in order to ensure that they had enough opportunities to protect themselves before the rescue team arrived, each of them brought five magazines. Except for Zhang Yuan and Sun Wenbin, they are all veterans of shooting, and I believe that it is not a big problem to support it for half an hour. In addition, there was a five-person combat team specially sent by the military group behind them, all of whom carried Bayi rifles, and the sturdy He Yayun also carried an M240 general-purpose machine gun, and the amount of ammunition they carried was not inferior to a frontal attack by Niu Lu of 300 Manchu Qing Dynasty. They also carry the absolute high technology of this era - night vision devices, once night falls, let alone hundreds of villagers, even hundreds of soldiers in front of them will not be pleased. As for a few elders in a meeting, they can only distribute a tactical flashlight, in the event of an emergency, a tactical flashlight with an attack head can also be used as a last weapon, and the 800 lumens bulb on it is enough to blind the irradiated person for a short time, and it is a good suppression tool to deal with archers or firecrackers at a distance.

However, they did become nervous, and these ancients thoroughly understood the elite weapons of these American pirates through that war, and it was not just martial arts that could make up for the difference. On the contrary, those who escaped vied to recount to the people next to them how the pirates' weapons sprayed bullets on them like splashes of water, and those who were hit often burst in the head at the sound of the fire. This also disintegrated the momentum of the once clamored to drive away the pirates in An Yun City to a certain extent, at least now no one has said anything to expel the pirates, even if there are any people who are not open-eyed, they can't find the villagers to attack on the street. Under such circumstances, the Zhuangzi chosen by Zhang Rusong was not fortified at all, was not armed at all, and even drove out about 30 meters of the house where the Americans were invited for a banquet for fear of causing surprise to the Americans.

When the five people walked to the door of Zhuangzi, Zhang Rusong had already taken a few squires to greet them at the entrance of the village, and after a few people were polite for a while, they walked along the road in Zhuangzi under the guidance of the master to the house where the banquet was held. This road is also a dirt road, but it looks like it should have been tamped, the ground is relatively hard, and some stones and sand particles on it are deeply pressed into the soil, but because of the problem of road construction concept, the ground is not drained fast enough, resulting in potholes in some places, or deep ruts.

Zhang Rusong hurriedly introduced, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the most famous local Sun Changfu Mr. Sun's Zhuangzi, this road was built in the second year of the Apocalypse, and it took four years to complete, and when it was completed last year, it was the best road for me to build in Anyun, but compared to the road built by your heroes, it is really not worth mentioning." ”

Several squires next to him had an incredulous look on their faces, although they had also heard of these pirates' mountain-like steel giants, and large iron ships that could move freely without sails and oars, they were unbelievable about the rumored road that the pirates had built in just over ten days.

A squire hurriedly asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, my An Yuncheng also returned to repair the official road in the territory in the fifth year of the Apocalypse, but it only took more than 10,000 people in the territory of An Yun nearly two years to eradicate some weeds and widen the road slightly, I don't know how you built such a smooth road in just a few dozen days?" ”

"Well," Zhang Yuan saw Sun Wenbin glaring at him, knowing that this was for him to say, he sorted out his thoughts a little, and said, "I have a lot of rules in the art of road construction in the United States, the roadbed must be re-paved, the soil must be made of strong viscosity, and some sand particles need to be kept from being crushed by the wheels, and the road surface must be higher than the lowest level, and drainage ditches need to be excavated on both sides of the road, so that the water on the road surface can be drained as quickly as possible when it rains." In fact, there is only one reason for the destruction of the road surface, and that is rain. As long as the rainwater does not stay on the road, the road surface can be kept intact. ”

The squires couldn't help but stop and look at this pirate, is this still called a pirate? There are so many rules for building a road? Besides, after so many steps, if you organize the people yourself, even if there is a county government to take the lead, I am afraid that you will not be able to repair four or five miles in a year. How did these pirates manage to build these twenty miles in a month?

Someone tentatively asked Zhang Yuan why they built the road so fast, Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "I have special machinery for road construction in the United States, and the special forklift can withstand the work of ordinary people for a day, and there is a road roller to compact the ground, eliminating the need to use manpower to crush and tamp with stones, which is both tiring and slow, so that the speed is naturally above you." ”

The squires had to look at these Americans with a stunned face, they are really extravagant, such things as road construction can be made with special machinery, if the road is built with machinery, won't it be useless after the road is repaired? Isn't that much iron a waste?

"Neither nor not!" Sun Wenbin immediately dropped his book bag and said, "The road is the same as the house, it is not once and for all after it is repaired, and it also needs a lot of manpower and material resources to maintain on weekdays, and the damaged places also need to be rested, if the materials are not good, and even the road surface needs to be dug up and rebuilt, and the road construction machinery will not only not be wasted, but even requires a lot of preparation." ”

"By the way" Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered one thing, "If we can reach an agreement today, we will also build a road to this point, in the future, you squires can not drive to the seaside, I am the United States based on industry and commerce, there are excellent products, welcome to come." ”

"Welcome!" A voice sounded not far away, and the five traversers hurriedly raised their heads, and there was a person wearing a blue satin robe standing in front of the big mansion, this person had a bun on his head, a long beard on his slender face, and thick eyebrows and big eyes that looked full of neutrality, which made these traversers feel very cordial at a glance. "Below is Li Xijue, the master of the Zhou officials in Anyun County, who has offended a lot before, please forgive me!" Saying that, Li Xijue bowed deeply to them.
