Chapter 397: Hoarding Salt
After hearing Chen Ran's words, Zhu Changshun took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw a new path on the screen.
This is not shown on a normal map.
So he immediately said with some excitement: "It seems that there is really a road, if you can go from here, then you can bypass a large section of the road in Xilin's Left Banner." ”
But then he was also a little worried: "But this road, can you go later?" Judging from the aerial footage, the road behind this road turns out to National Highway 412, which is very blurry. I don't know if this road is wide enough! If you can't get by, it's more troublesome to turn around! ”
Then Zhu Changshun also picked up the tablet in his hand, which showed a satellite map of the area.
He said worriedly: "Judging from the satellite map, this road is just a very vague shadow, and I can't see it clearly. Do you want to send drones to scout? ”
Chen Ran nodded and replied, "Yes!" ”
Then, he picked up the walkie-talkie and said to Zhou Wentao, the head of the communications team: "Zhou Wentao, fly your unmanned to a little bit, cross the bridge, and follow the river to the east, do you see the road?" You control the drone to fly to this to reconnoitre, especially to see the second half of it, to see if it can lead to National Highway 412, whether it is wide enough! ”
Zhou Wentao quickly replied: "Received, captain!" I've seen that road! ”
As a result, the images captured by the drone gradually began to zoom in on the screen.
This is the result of the drone starting to reduce the flight altitude and moving towards the top of the road.
Less than a minute later, the drone was already flying above the road.
Judging from the results of aerial photography, the first half of the road is still relatively wide and smooth.
The road leading to Xilin's Left Banner is really a bit small, only more than 2 meters wide.
And it's a dirt road.
But in the end, it was able to lead to the left banner of Xilin.
Chen Ran, Zhu Changshun and Wei Chen all looked at it carefully.
Wei Chen said, "This road really doesn't look big!" ”
And Chen Ran asked, "Brother Zhu, what do you think?" Will our big cars be able to get by? ”
Zhu Changshun nodded affirmatively, and said with some joy: "It should be no problem!" The width of the road is enough for a car to pass through. It's just that if you want to go here, the formation of our convoy will have to change, and we can only pass one by one, which is safer. ”
He continued: "And it's just a dirt road, but the road is dry. Next to this is the salt lake, which passes through the salt pans. It is estimated that it is a road specially opened for salt transportation, and for long-term salt transportation, the road should have been salinized and will be very hard, so don't be afraid that the big car will get stuck in the mud puddle! ”
"That's good!" After hearing Zhu Changshun's analysis, Chen Ran couldn't help but nod a little happily, and then said: "Since this is the case, then let's go from here instead!" ”
"And ......," Chen Ran continued to say happily: "Here in this salt field, we can also add salt by the way." After all, after arriving in Nenshan County, it will not be so easy for us to replenish salt in the short term. ”
Xilin Zuoqi is located next to an inland salt lake, so the salt mining industry here is very developed.
On the edge of the salt lake are patches of salt pans.
Chen Ran continued: "However, our convoy can't stay in Yantian for too long. Therefore, it is necessary to inform everyone in advance, so that everyone can prepare a bucket or basin for salt in advance. After the convoy stopped, all the people in the convoy who were free quickly got out of the car. One person fills a bucket of salt in the salt pan and leaves immediately! ”
Zhu Changshun couldn't help but smile and said, "That's good!" One bucket of salt per person is enough for us for a long time! ”
Then, about an hour and a half later, the fog that Zhang Xiangdong had created in the northwest direction of Xilin's Left Banner had gradually drifted over from that direction.
The fog began to fill the road where the convoy was intended to pass, and the fog was getting thicker.
At the same time, during this period, Wu Chaogui and the others had also returned from the manor with a large number of materials they had found.
The truck used to load the supplies was the same large truck they found yesterday to transport the courier.
It seems to be a truckload full of stuff.
But what is the specific, Chen Ran has not asked carefully.
The most important thing is that he knows that the generator has already been obtained.
Then, after another ten minutes, Zhang Xiangdong and the others had also returned to the convoy.
So Chen Ran immediately gave an order, and the entire convoy slowly began to start.
Amid the roar of a large number of cargo trucks and armored vehicle engines, they set off again and headed in a northwesterly direction.
Then, in a short time, their convoy had already crossed the bridge.
Here, there are already some zombies.
It is estimated that they were attracted by Chen Ran's flares and their battle with the mysterious mutant zombie last night.
Fortunately, there were not many of them, and there were armored road openers leading the way in front, and they rushed all the way with ease.
Then when the convoy turned right from the bridge, to the road along the river that Chen Ran said before, there were basically no zombies.
Because here and the city of Xilin Zuoqi, there is a large area of salt pans.
After the convoy walked a distance on this road, Chen Ran used his mobile phone to notify all the vehicles in the convoy to stop.
Because they had now arrived at a salt pan where the moisture had almost been dried out.
You must know that this is already the inland area of Qinyue Kingdom, and there is little precipitation.
Now it is the dry season of autumn, and after almost a month of steaming, the only thing left in the salt pan is basically only salt crystals.
So it can be said that there is salt almost everywhere here, a large patch of white flowers.
In the convoy, everyone was very happy when they saw it.
Because in this day and age, anyone with a little common sense knows that salt is a very important thing.
If you don't eat salt for a long time, you will have swelling of your body and weakness of your limbs.
And salt doesn't expire, so it's always good to stock up on more.
Therefore, there is a faint fog around at this time.
But after the convoy stopped, the survivors who had already prepared in the 40 cars rushed out of the car with an "oh" and ran to the nearby salt pan to start loading salt.
They each had a bucket or basin, went to the salt pan to load a bucket or a basin, and went away.
In just three minutes, everyone was back in the car, and they brought back a huge amount of salt.
