The New Year's holiday is over quickly, and everything must be back on the normal track, after all, if you have more rest, people will be lazy.

Just after the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the HH Arsenal has begun to clean up the surrounding residential areas with the troops, and the survivors of the HH Arsenal, who received a large amount of food supplies during the Chinese New Year, have now recovered most of their physical strength.

These people, who had been underground for almost a year, were finally returning to life on the surface, and they were especially happy.

The engineering troops repaired two bridges on the canal that had been blown up in the past, built a protective wall directly near the HH Arsenal with the ruins of ready-made buildings and buildings, and repaired some of the boilers in the thermal power plant inside the HH Arsenal, which was originally unable to maintain, so that the electricity could already meet the basic production needs, but it was still very difficult to expand the production capacity.

As for the power supply in the new area, it is still a small boiler generator in two buildings, although the voltage is not very high, but it also greatly alleviates part of the problem of insufficient power.

After the investigation of the materials and production equipment in the HH arsenal by technicians, it was found that these machines were all old equipment in the 80s of the last century, and although many machines were well maintained, they still could not manufacture some precision instruments, such as air bombing fuses.

However, at present, many scarce parts for tanks and aircraft can still be produced in the repair parts production workshops of military factories, and due to the previous good protection, some of these workshops have returned to normal production and manufacturing capacity for weapons.

However, if you want to produce weapons and ammunition in large quantities, you need to restore those nearby mines and metal smelters, which is still more troublesome for the Restoration Army, which has a small population.

After careful investigation, Liu Qi issued an order to move if he can, and produce on the spot if he can't, intending to completely grasp the control of the administrative area near the CZ in his hands, and at the same time gather the survivors in the CZ area, and the small gathering place will be disposed of immediately if it is not attached to the central government, and the goal is to start at least the city center at one time, and collect all the population and production equipment within a radius of 40km.

SX Province is a major coal producer, with many railways leading directly to some coal and iron ore mines and smelters. Then the goal of recovering those energy companies can be achieved along the railway, so that the goal of self-sufficient production can be achieved, and there is no need to collect materials everywhere to recycle into steel.

There are two important railway lines near the urban area of CZ, one of which is the railway leading to the Mining Bureau, there are many heavy industry and auxiliary energy enterprises in the LA Mining Bureau, and the center of the LA Mining Bureau is an outpost of the rebels in HB Town, when the rebels chased Zhao Zhuoyuan, it was from HB Town, and now that the urban area is dealt with, then HB Town not far away should also go to recover it by the way.

Many of the locomotives in the train transfer stations have been almost scrapped because they have been left for a long time, and the coal-fired locomotives in the overgrown corners have been idle for too long, making it difficult to repair.

The road transport capacity was too poor, it was dangerous to regain these places in the vicinity, the convoy was expensive and could not get heavy fire support, so everyone had to wait at least a week for this vehicle.

With the efforts of the workers, 10 carriages and two locomotives were welded with a frame of steel bars and I-beams with a part of the captured wreckage of the Type 69 tank, four engines and tank transmissions that could still run in it, plus train wheels.

When a miniature armored train appeared in front of Luke and Tang Ming, they were both surprised, as if they had returned to World War I, but this little rail car was really cute.

The body of about four meters high, no features, only a square iron plate and some convex operating compartments, above the front of the car is a 57mm battle defense gun, the body has a machine gun muzzle with three directions open, and there is a 12.7mm water-cooled machine gun inside, the suspicion of rushing the second carriage is relatively large, and half of the tank butt is directly connected to the back half of the carriage, and the traces of scorched black on it are even there. Because it is a power compartment, there is not much space, there is only a 25mm infantry chariot turret on it, as for the rear compartment is a bilateral opening, the roof is placed with anti-aircraft machine guns and twin 105mm recoilless guns, as well as 107mm rocket artillery, although the small train is not big, but the combat effectiveness is not bad.

The troop transport carriage is powered by four 100-horsepower pot camel machines, covered with 10mm armor, and the first fire reconnaissance began with a team of 400 people in 17 carriages.

Luke sat helplessly on the machine gun seat, holding the mobile phone and playing with the battery, after ten minutes of playing, he really couldn't wait, Luke stood up and stretched, rubbed his sour eyes, and asked loudly: "Is the boiler pressure better!" "Don't rush! 20% left! Wait another hour! ”

The pressure of the pot camel machine has not been able to rise, Luke and they originally thought that they would use the pot camel machine to make the train move first, and then use the tank engine to bring up the speed, and then the pot camel machine and the two engines took turns to take the train forward, and it took two hours for the boiler pressure to come up, no wonder the warship used to have to accumulate power for several hours before going out to cut people, and now it seems that it is not incomprehensible.

After a long time, the train finally began to slowly move its body, the tank engine spewed out thick black smoke, the roar of the huge engine felt deafening in the steel shell, everyone had to shout loudly, the sky had begun to turn dark when they set off, and when the sky was completely dark, Luke suddenly found a very serious problem, the train did not even have lights!!

The train is moving slowly on the road at a speed of 12km, the train is crawling slowly like a caterpillar in the night, Luke is checking the map in the faint light, there are about 20km away from the target, the first stop of this trip is an open-pit coal mine, the current main energy consumption of the Restoration Army is coal, so how important the first stop is this time, after all, coal is needed for coal, steelmaking, and power generation.

Luke's thoughts in the train gradually drifted away with the deep dark night, they have excellent industrial and resource skills in the north, but how should those survivors live in the south, especially there as an economically developed area, the nuclear attack is very serious, so how should those poor people live this hard life? Luke and they don't know, so I can only wish them good luck.

After five hours of travel, the train finally moved to the inner tracks of the open-pit coal mine, and Luke stood on the lookout to carefully observe his surroundings.

There was a lot of snow around, at least knee-deep, and there was a long coal train on the railway, where the armored train was forced to stop.

Luke jumped out of the car, only to hit the sloping roadbed when he landed, and fell to the ground in one fell swoop.

Tang Ming laughed by the train door and prepared to come down, but he also slipped and fell to the ground, and the people on the train laughed very happily.

Luke patted the snow on his face and body, the index on the radiation detection instrument increased slightly, Luke frowned, the increase in radiation value is not a good thing, after all, there is more radiation and hair loss, and sudden death in the world now is not something that young people are afraid of, hair loss is.

Luke walked along the railroad to the side of the train, the cloth on the train was still there, Luke climbed to the roof of the car, lifted the multicolored cloth on it, it was full of coal, Luke checked the cars on the roof, it was full of coal mines.

Luke was still happier in his heart, if these coal mines in these carriages could be returned, it would be enough for the entire Restoration Army for a month, but how to drag them back is another problem.

Luke and the others walked along the car to the front of the car, the locomotive is the kind of gas turbine, the maintenance is still relatively difficult, Luke climbed from the roof to the cab and found that the dust in the cab had accumulated at least a lot of rice.

Luke wiped the dust off the control panel, and then Luke turned on the power-on button, and to his surprise, the lights in the car turned on!

One of the accompanying technicians said incredulously: "Unbelievable, this front of the car can still start!" It's just that there's something wrong with the chiller at the front of the car, we can try to fix the radiator, maybe we can drive it back!"

Luke saw that it was completely dark, many of the soldiers were yawning, it was already one o'clock in the morning, and there were still seven hours before the visibility could be repaired, Luke thought about it and rest for a while.

Luke and the others entered the huge open-pit coal mine with night vision devices, and the buildings inside the mine looked very gloomy, and Luke always felt that someone was watching them from behind or in the corner, but the surroundings were extremely quiet.

Suddenly the sound of something breaking sounded, Luke and the others were so frightened that they picked up their guns and looked for cover, Luke hid behind the cover and looked nervously, and later found that a skeleton had been trampled on, and then he was relieved.

Tang Ming didn't often go to that kind of place with few people, it seemed that he was scared a lot now, Tang Ming looked left and right with the Type 88 machine gun, Luke pointed to the bone on the ground, and sneered: "It's a shame that a group of people are scared like this by a bone!"

With that, Luke put away his eight-one bar and stood up, walked to the edge of the pile of bones under the gaze of everyone, reached out and picked up a piece and looked at it.

Luke looked at the skull of the person in his hand, it looked like the back of his head was smashed open by a heavy object, and there were many bite marks on it, Luke threw the skull aside disapprenorovingly, and said to the people around him: "Pay attention to the vicinity, there are likely to be zombies!" Now let's find a place where we can sleep all night!"

Then everyone went into the depths of the coal mine with Luke, and Luke looked at the surrounding production equipment as he walked, many of which were still the same as when they were out of production, and Luke looked at the surrounding environment.

There are coal mine production workshops all around, and a building appears in front of everyone in the criss-crossing pipelines.

Luke led everyone to the door of the building, Luke looked carefully at the doorknob and the things in the doorway, Luke found that the snow on the ground was trampled by some unknown creature, and there was no dust on the doorknob, someone must have been there recently.

Luke pushed open the glass door and raised his fist at the people behind him, signaling that there was danger, and everyone immediately put away their distractions and immediately jumped behind the cover like rabbits.

Tang Ming and Luke looked carefully at the things on the ground on both sides of the door, and Luke and Tang Ming whispered: "Look, old Tang, you said that the plank is not a trap!" I think something is wrong!"

Tang Ming also felt that something was wrong, Tang Ming frowned and said, "That's it, why don't you go find a tire, didn't a car hit the wall just now?" ”

Luke thought for a moment, as if there was really a truck hitting the wall, Luke nodded, and thought, "Then let's get a tire and roll in and explore the way!"

Then Luke and Tang Ming took two people to find the car just now, and walked more than 100 meters to find the truck that hit the iron beam.

Luke looked at the truck and felt a little familiar, carefully turned around a few times, Luke suddenly remembered the model of this car, Luke picked up the gun, looked around, Luke said to Tang Ming vigilantly: "Old Tang! Do you see if this truck is a military Dongfanghong series truck? Where did the military trucks come from in the coal mines!? There's definitely something wrong around here!"

Tang Ming was also reminded that he had found something abnormal, Luke pointed a pistol at the truck door in one hand, and then opened the door suddenly, and a zombie suddenly jumped up above the co-pilot, dancing and wanting to attack Luke but was shot down by Luke, who had been prepared for a long time.

Luke looked at the driver's seat of the car, and Luke noticed that the man lying on the steering wheel had an iron rod stuck in his head, and the zombie on top of the passenger was pierced in the chest by a bow and arrow.

Luke dragged the body out and went up to try to light the fire, only to turn on the truck's lights!

Tang Ming turned on one of the headlights and found that there were still several 56 and a half rifles in the surrounding corners, and there were many bullet holes in the surrounding walls, obviously there had been a battle here.

Luke jumped out of the car and said to Tang Ming: "The battery has not lost power, and the blood stains have not been weathered, theoretically in about five or six days, and the rear wheels are still gas." ”

Tang Ming also felt strange, and said to Zhao Zhuoyuan Luke: "There must have been a fierce battle here, but what makes me strange is that the guns in the corner are still in good condition, and the bullets are there, but why haven't these guns been collected?" ”

Luke narrowed his eyes and said solemnly, "Then it's not a battle between man and man!"
