Chapter 296? Access to the city
After breakfast, the team members followed the workers to the square in front of the dormitory building, at this time the snow plow and the truck had been driven downstairs, Chang Xihao and Liu Erwa and several workers walked down from the car, saw Zhang Weimin and a group of people coming over, and immediately got up and walked over.
Chang Xihao immediately stepped forward to greet Zhang Weimin and said: "Team Zhang, all the vehicles that will enter the city for search and rescue have been prepared, and all the fuel has been filled, and I have also picked up some spare oil and put it in the car." β
Zhang Weimin nodded and praised: "Very good, hard work, I will trouble you to show us the way in a while!" β
Chang Xihao looked at Zhang Weimin embarrassedly, and then turned to look at Uncle Xu, who also came over and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Listen to Captain Zhang's command in all actions, and be more careful yourself!" β
Chang Xihao nodded, and then the team members began to pedal, Zhang Weimin took Chang Xihao and Guo Lin to the snow plow, this car is not much smaller than the transport truck behind, but there is a huge shovel head that can be adjusted in front of the car, which is similar to the A2 transport vehicle issued by the Southwest Council of N City before, this thing can not only be used to shovel snow for the members of the Doomsday Action Team, but also to deal with the zombies blocking themselves on the road.
After watching all the team members behind him board the truck, Zhang Weimin also started the snow plow, and after waving goodbye to the remaining team members and workers, the two cars set off.
Zhang Weimin drove the snow plough in front, and the truck behind was driven by Luca, and the two vehicles roared towards the factory gate.
This road to the gate of the factory, Chang Xihao, when they picked up the car before, has cleared a road by the way, after coming to the door, Chang Xihao got out of the car and opened the factory gate for everyone, watched the car drive out, closed the factory gate and returned to the car again.
In addition to the factory, the street trees with heavy snow on both sides of the management indicate that a road out at this time, but the road is covered with heavy snow, after all, there has been no snow clearing engineering vehicle for many days, from now on all the responsibility for opening the road is handed over to Zhang Weimin's head, driving the snow plow Zhang Weimin This is his first time, but because he has driven an A2 transport vehicle with a shovel head before, he also quickly got started with the snow plow at this time, and Chang Xihao on the side also admired Zhang Weimin's skilled driving skills.
The shovel head of the snow plough was lowered to the minimum by Zhang Weimin, stepped on the accelerator, and the huge thrust of the car forward pushed all the snow on the road in front of it to both sides, and soon the road surface behind the car could already be seen, of course, in order to prevent the bottom layer of the frozen layer from forcing the vehicle to skid, after entering the winter, the vehicles of these northern cities were all replaced with anti-skid tires and anti-skid measures of tires, and each tire of the two cars was tied to the chain, pressing on the icy road surface to make a 'click' sound.
After the factory area, the car traveled about 2 kilometers away, the team members can already see the surrounding white farmland, Chang Xihao told everyone that there are a lot of fields around the factory, here is planted with a lot of rice, people here are basically by planting rice to make a fortune, after all, the northern generation of the innate geographical advantages, fertile land, high yield of growing food, naturally has become the main source of income for people.
Looking at the roofs of the houses that have accumulated a lot of snow in the distance, like marshmallows, this kind of scene that seems to be only in the fairy tale world, it is really displayed in front of the players, and the team members who stay in the south all the year round are instantly excited, even Luca, who lives in the tropics, is deeply attracted by this scene in front of them, so that the team members almost forget that this is also a well and become an infection area.
The roar of the vehicle soon pulled everyone back to reality, thinking that there was an unknown danger hidden in the beautiful scenery ahead, and had to let Zhang Weimin hold the steering wheel in his hand, in order to worry that everyone stared at the snow in front of them for a long time is prone to short-term snow blindness, before everyone took it away, Uncle Xu asked Chang Xihao and Liu Erwa, who went to pick up the car in the morning, and they went to the factory warehouse to get goggles for everyone.
Zhang Weimin relied on the street trees on both sides to determine the location of the road, and then came to a relatively wide road, then relaxed his forehead a little, took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his mouth, Chang Xihao, who was sitting in the co-pilot, immediately took out the lighter from the glove box of the central control and lit it for Zhang Weimin.
Zhang Weimin saw the lighter in Chang Xihao's hand and asked curiously: "Hey, your lighter is exquisite!" β
Chang Xihao immediately said: "Team Zhang, I'll give you this, at this time, the distribution of our factory to the employees is specially adapted to the cold weather, which is more frost and wind resistant than ordinary lighters." β
"Ah, I can't ask for this, this is for your employees in the oil factory, how can I take it casually?" Zhang Weimin said as he pushed Chang Xihao's hand away.
"It's okay, there's a lot of it here." Chang Xihao stuffed the lighter into the pocket of Zhang Weimin's coat while opening the central control storage box and said: "Look, this kind of lighter seems to be very expensive, but in our this is really a common thing, almost every year, you just take it, and when the danger is lifted, it will be a memorial for you, otherwise if it weren't for the arrangement of search and rescue work, I think you and your team members may never come to our small city to travel in this life." β
Zhang Weimin said with some embarrassment: "Uh, okay, little brother Chang, then I'll listen to you leave one as a souvenir, but why do you think that if it wasn't for the infection, we wouldn't have come to this FJ City?" β
Chang Xihao leaned back into his seat, and said while looking into the distance: "It's okay this time, I'll just talk about our city, our FJ city can only be regarded as a third-tier small city in the entire JN province, mainly during the mining period and planting rice to maintain the economy, most of our young people here either didn't join the oil company here, or they were admitted to a good university outside and settled outside, although we can't compare with the big city, but people live a comfortable and comfortable life, We also don't have any places of interest, nor are they tourist attractions, as for the beautiful snow scenery that makes you feel beautiful, usually in this season our northern side is basically this kind of scenery, so many people will choose more famous big cities to see the snow scene, naturally we are a small third-tier city and no one cares, but this is not bad, we are not many outsiders, basically locals, everyone is quite good. Our city is not too complicated, Gulou District and Chaoyang District are the center of our city, our tallest building is only the 35-storey central commercial building, you can see it in a while, the roads in the city are also spacious, and it is relatively easy to find, and you can see it when you get to the place. β
Guo Lin, who was sitting in the back row, listened to Chang Xihao's introduction while looking at the scenery around the window, indeed as Chang Xihao said, there were no high-rise buildings on the entire road to the city, except for some market towns to see some low-pitched faΓ§ade houses, it was basically snowy, because the outbreak of the virus led to the shutdown of the whole process, so most of the places here were covered by the heavy snow that had been falling, Chang Xihao said that the snow was a little smaller in the past two days, Before the team members entered the city, it was snowing heavily.
Zhang Weimin looked around while driving, and he saw a question, that is, he had driven for almost half a forty minutes so far, and he didn't see a single zombie on the road, not even the footprints on the ground, these traces that might have existed seemed to have been covered by the university that night, could it be that the people infected and mutated along the way were almost frozen and buried deep in the oil factory area? But there should always be something to be shoveled along the way.
As the car gets closer and closer to the city, there are more and more stalled and abandoned vehicles on the road, which also brings a lot of trouble to the snow plow, because the snow plow can't keep walking in a straight line, and has to avoid the abandoned vehicles parked in the middle of the road, which also forms a big challenge to Zhang Weimin's driving skills, I saw him holding the steering wheel with both hands, carefully reducing the speed, and slowly bypassing the abandoned vehicles parked in the middle of the road.
Chang Xihao on the side also told Zhang Weimin that he had now entered Chaoyang District, looking at the gradually emerging urbanized buildings and more and more abandoned vehicles around him, Zhang Weimin and the team members were nervous, and everyone was worried about the zombies and mutated creatures that might appear around at any time, which was also an instinct that had been carried out in the infected area for a long time.
At this time, the voice of Yin Chenbao on the truck behind him came from the communicator, and he said: "Team Zhang, I just saw a distress signal in the direction of our 7 o'clock, it is a banner with the word 'SOS' written on it, and the banner seems to be still being waved vigorously. β
After listening to this, Zhang Weimin also lowered his speed, turned his head and looked in the direction of 7 o'clock through the window of the snowplow, and sure enough, he saw a banner with dazzling red background and white characters in this snowy city being thrown out of a small building with more than ten floors through the house, shaking on the building, but they could not see clearly what was written on the shaking banner through the telescope, so he turned around and said to Chang Xijun in the passenger seat: "What is the place over there, do we have a way to go through it recently?" β
Chang Xihao turned around and saw the red banner floating on the building through the back window, so he said, that building is the Century Building, not far from our side, but now this road condition has been a little difficult. β
"That's okay, you're in charge of guiding the way, let's go first!" Zhang Weimin immediately turned the head of the car and told the team members waiting for the next step to the communicator.
The car turned a corner on the road, drove straight to the nearest intersection and began to turn to the right, Chang Xihao told Zhang Weimin that this road is currently the nearest and fastest way to reach the Century Building, but this time there is snow on the road, and there are also a lot of abandoned vehicles, Zhang Weimin can't care so much, no longer dodge the vehicles blocked in the middle of the road as before, but directly use the thrust of the snow plow shovel head to directly push the abandoned vehicles in front of it to the side, and then choose to bypass when encountering large vehicles that cannot be pushed away.
Luca in the back could only keep a certain distance in order to avoid the vehicles shoveled away by the snow plow, but looking at the snow plow that did not slow down, he also knew that Captain Zhang was going to feel there for the first time, so he grabbed the steering wheel again and raised the speed of the car.
Luca's driving skills and Zhang Weimin are also equal, the team members who have taken Luca's helicopter pilots decided to hand over the driving position to Luca when they got on the car early this morning, which also shows everyone's trust in Luca, and Luca did not disappoint everyone, even on the road in a foreign country, even in the icy and snowy environment, he can still keep the vehicle smooth and uniform speed.
Seeing Zhang Weimin driving towards the building where the distress signal was found, Yin Chenbao on the truck began to get excited, he imagined that the first batch of people waiting for rescue were about to embark on the road home, and he didn't care about the danger that might be encountered next, because he knew that even if he encountered danger, the team he was sitting in had the ability to defeat him.
Zhang Weimin on the snowplow was about to arrive in front of the Century Building, he suddenly felt that the car seemed to have shoveled something, and the road surface he drove made a 'click-click' sound of something breaking, this sound was heard by him recently, he thought about it, and suddenly thought of the frozen zombie head that he had just stepped on in the open space of the oil company when he just landed in FJ City, could it be that there were frozen zombies on the road ahead?
So Zhang Weimin lowered the speed of the car, and the splashed snow that was originally shoveled up by the shovel head in front instantly became smaller, and the vision ahead gradually became clearer.
Zhang Weimin, Chang Xihao and Guo Lin in the car clearly saw that the road in front of them was full of frozen zombies in various costumes lying there, Zhang Weimin knew that these guys were just frozen, in fact, they were not dead, but they didn't have time to care about these now, after all, these frozen zombies couldn't do harm to themselves, so naturally there was no need to waste time on these things.
The car ran over these zombies that were frozen and lying on the ground, and listened to the crisp 'click' sound, which made the team members full of confidence in this first search and rescue mission to enter FJ City for the first time!
