Chapter 70 Crude Oil Warehouse
"How far is it?"
Wu Zong looked at the rows of bald trees that crossed the sides and asked.
"There should be eleven or twelve kilometers left" Qiu Mo shrugged: "There is no way, we have to bypass the road." β
Wu Zong also knew that if they didn't bypass the main road, just ordinary zombies would be enough for them to drink a pot.
"I don't know how many people are left in the world now," Qiu Mo looked in the rearview mirror.
"Half?" Wu Zong drove the car, not squinting: "Even less than that." β
The two of them talked with each other, and after about half an hour, they entered a small township.
Originally, the road in this small township was not spacious, and the road was even narrower because Wu Zong and his party were driving big trucks, and it was still snowing, so Wu Zong had to slow down.
Qiu Mo looked at the buildings on the left and right, and sat up: "It should be right to turn left in front." β
After receiving Wu Zong's instructions, Qiu Mo picked up the walkie-talkie: "All pay attention, turn left in front, slow down and move slowly." β
Wu Zong lightly braked on his feet and slowed the speed of the car to less than thirty miles.
The long line of trucks slowly turned a corner, and then, Wu Zong saw the target point - it was a small oil refinery.
Several huge oil storage tanks and distillation towers are dotted around, and the staggered vertical and horizontal pipes connect this private oil refinery, and the entire oil refinery is quiet under the heavy snow, but Wu Zong can still imagine that this small oil refinery was once in full swing.
If you're right, it's likely that the entire town's economy is powered by this refinery.
Under Qiu Mo's command, Wu Zong drove in with the convoy and stopped at the door of the warehouse.
"When you get to the place, pay attention," Qiu Mo held the walkie-talkie in one hand, and pulled out the pistol from his waist with the other: "The first three cars will go in and move, and the last four cars will be on guard." β
As he spoke, Qiu Mo and Wu Zong opened the car door and jumped out of the car.
The snow seemed to be getting heavier and heavier, and the snowflakes made a small clatter on the windshield.
With Qiu Mo's shouting, I saw that people also got out of the truck behind, and everyone held a firearm in their hands.
Like Gu Yami's G18c automatic pistol, he should have bought it himself, and like the people in the Hirayama Club, they all had MP5SD in their hands, which should have been purchased by the gang.
But whether it's Gu Yami or Hirayama's, as long as it's a gun, even if you buy it yourself, it's all banned in the city, and you need to hand it over to the firearms management office, and you can only take it out of the management office after approval, so as to go out of the city for self-defense.
Qiu Mo stood at the door of the warehouse and ordered some people-Wu Zong, Gu Yamei, the twins and the leader of the Pingshan Society, counting himself, a total of six people, it should be enough.
As for that Teacher Liu, Qiu Mo was really too lazy to listen to him, so he simply let him fall asleep in the car.
Because Wu Zong was afraid of being exposed, all the overall arrangements for this trip out of the city were handed over to Qiu Mo, and Wu Zong himself would secretly direct Qiu Mo's actions.
"The big guy is quick with his hands and feet," Qiu Mo looked around at the crowd.
"Well," the leader of the Pingshan Society called Junzi, and at this time he also obeyed Qiu Moyan.
This didn't feel anything wrong with him, people spent money to hire them, so naturally they had to listen to others, and Gu Yamei and the twins were very jealous of Wu Zong, so no one questioned the whole team from Qiu Mo.
Then, Qiu Mo looked at the four Pingshan Club drivers in the back car, and commanded: "The four of you, two people are patrolling the periphery, one is answering at the door, and one is looking for a commanding heights to be on guard, all holding a walkie-talkie, keep in touch, once you find something abnormal, you must issue a warning as soon as possible, we can come back and get it again, there is one life, understand?"
"Understood!"
The four of them agreed with Qiu Mo's arrangement, and at the same time increased their affection for this man who didn't seem to be very old, because Qiu Mo's arrangements were all in an orderly manner from the beginning, everyone had a clear division of labor, and they did have leadership skills, unlike some stragglers, who went up and took good things when they saw them, and ran away when they were done, without half a point of organizational discipline at all.
You know, it seems that the words 'organizational discipline' are a bit on the line, but the law of the end times is exactly like this, a swarm of looting is indeed fast, but once there is a little situation outside, everyone has to explain here, and many teams in the previous out-of-town team have become a member of the walking dead because of this.
After explaining, Qiu Mo walked to the door of the warehouse, put half of his body on the door, and beckoned to Wu Zong: "Take a hand." β
Wu Zong walked over and resisted the gate on the other side, and then only heard Qiu Mo shouting: "One, two, three, go!"
Rumble β
With a dull sound, the door of the warehouse was slowly pushed open, and a glimmer of light shone into the warehouse room along the gap in the door of the warehouse.
Through the flying dust and falling snowflakes, everyone saw the interior of this dusty warehouse, and they couldn't help but grow their mouthsβ
Barrels of crude oil are neatly arranged in the warehouse.
Rao is a perennial sports car outside, and the well-informed military son was also stunned in place, muttering in his mouth: "So many crude oil ......"
He finally knew why Qiu Mo was so confident and told them that as long as this trip could be finished, the wine would be drunk casually.
How much the does that cost?
Qiu Mo glanced at Wu Zong and found that Wu Zong was staring at Junzi, his eyes flashing with scrutiny.
Then, Wu Zong also looked at Qiu Mo, only to see Qiu Mo shaking his head, indicating that he, a soldier, had not been greedy for the time being.
Wu Zong pursed his lips and was noncommittal, because he found that the crude oil on the surface was only a small part, and the total amount of crude oil here did not exceed three hundred barrels, and hundreds of tons of crude oil must be more than that.
Sure enough, Qiu Mo spoke: "This is only a part, there are more underground, if we can all transport it back, I promise to double the remuneration for the big guy by another forty percent." β
This was only said to the Pingshan Society, originally Wu Zong and Gu Yami didn't plan to ask for an honorarium at all, they just wanted to go to the inner ring.
In fact, Qiu Mo's price to Pingshan was already not low, but this time it turned over forty percent, and I saw that the eyes of the soldiers began to shine.
"You're so polite," Junzi said pretending to be polite.
"It's not easy to come out, and I hope everyone can have a capital," Qiu Mo can also speak.
"What kind of capital is this," Junzi laughed: "This is even enough for the coffin!"
As he spoke, Junzi stepped forward and grabbed a barrel of crude oil, flattened the barrel to the ground, and then rolled the barrel out of the warehouse.
Seeing that the soldiers started to move, everyone else also started to transport them out barrel by barrel, and for a while, the footsteps in the originally silent warehouse sounded with the sound of crude oil barrels rolling, and barrels of crude oil were constantly transported to trucks.
The load of their truck itself was limited to five tons, but with the 'unremitting efforts' of the group, they forced to add another ton to the top of the bundle.
In this way, 100 tons of crude oil can be transported in two and a half trips, and even if something goes wrong in the middle and they can't come back, the loss will be slightly smaller.
The group was in full swing, but the physical strength of human beings has a limit after all, and not all of them have superhuman physique like Wu Zong, so the team changed shifts twice, and it took nearly a day to fill the seven liberation vehicles.
By this time, the sky was already dark.
"Yes," Qiu Mo patted the carriage with satisfaction as he looked at the full big truck, and made a banging sound: "That's all, let's go back to the outpost warehouse first, rest and come back early tomorrow." β
The so-called 'outpost barn' is a temporary storage point for people like them who go out of the city in search of supplies, because if they want to enter the city, they will inevitably have an observation period and strict scrutiny, while the outpost is not needed, because it is set up outside the city walls, even if the entire outpost warehouse falls, it will have no effect on the city, it is like a lifeboat hanging on a cruise ship, it can be thrown away at any time.
Everyone nodded in agreement, because they all knew that spending the night outside at night was an extremely dangerous thing.
The group reopened the liberation and turned around and returned to the outpost.
Since the devastating encounter with the last 'outlet', the outpost has rarely been visited, and the two soldiers guarding here have been waiting in a panic when they saw a convoy of trucks approaching and thought it was a sudden attack.
When the convoy arrived, Qiu Mo hurriedly jumped out of the car and showed his 'dog tag': "We are out of the city." β
The soldier walked up and carefully checked Qiu Mo's tag, but found nothing wrong, and turned his gaze to look at Qiu Mo and the convoy.
It's not that they haven't seen such a big battle, when the 'tide of going out of the city' was popular, there were some big families among the people who went out of the city, but after all, it is no longer the original situation, and they can organize this kind of large convoy when they know the risk of going out of the city, compared to this young man called Qiu Mo, it is not a good stubble.
Thinking of this, the soldier who inspected changed his face to a smile, and politely asked Qiu Mo, "What is this pretend?" β
Because they had filled the truck with tarps and wrapped it in tarps, the soldiers couldn't see what was in their full seven-wheeled liberation truck.
Qiu Mo looked at the soldiers, and he didn't intend to lie, and said in a low voice: "Crude oil, more than forty tons." β
"What?" the soldier twisted his head sharply and looked at Qiu Mo in surprise.
Then, as if he didn't believe it, the soldiers lifted the corners of the tarp one by one, and looked through them one by one, and after making sure that Qiu Mo was indeed not lying, the smile on his face became even bigger.
"It's really a big deal," the soldier gave Qiu Mo a thumbs up: "Let's live here today, if you want to enter the city today, I'm afraid the city won't be able to finish the inventory for a while and a half." β
With that, the soldier opened the barricade and let the convoy in.
Qiu Mo watched the trucks drive by beside him, and he was also very excited in his heart, these crude oils were his mother's life, and they were also the thank you gifts he brought to Wu Zong.
