After listening to Xu Kai's suggestion, Chen Ran couldn't help but think about it for a while, and felt that Xu Kai's suggestion was indeed good.

Then he said, "Let's do this in the evening, it's a good idea!" ”

He went on to say: "It's too peaceful on the grassland, and there is no danger elsewhere. No matter where you spend the night, there is no sense of security. It's safest to stay on the bridge. As long as we hold the two ends, nothing will happen in between. ”

Zhang Xiangdong also nodded with deep sympathy: "Yes! If you can spend the night on the bridge, that's certainly the best! ”

Chen Shuyuan finally said: "Since this is the case, then let's hurry up and try it to see if this bridge can accommodate all our vehicles." In addition, we have to see if the weighing of this bridge can stand it, after all, we have so many cars! ”

At this time, Chen Ran said: "If the bridge is only 60 meters long, if there are piers in the middle, it should be possible." In addition, if this bridge can accommodate the vehicles of our fleet by then, and you can use your ability to strengthen the bridge, it will definitely be foolproof. ”

"Okay!" Chen Shuyuan couldn't help but smile and replied: "This time, it's finally my turn to show my skills!" ”

So then, Chen Shuyuan got out of the car first and went to the front to check the situation of the bridge.

As a result, he quickly confirmed that the load-bearing capacity of the bridge should indeed be fine.

After all, this bridge is indeed not very long, and there are two relatively strong piers in the middle, so it is very strong.

Moreover, Chen Shuyuan also did engineering in the past, so his judgment in this regard can be regarded as relatively authoritative.

However, for the sake of safety, Chen Shuyuan also used a little ability to strengthen the bridge and make it a little safer.

Subsequently, under the command of Zhang Xiangdong and others, Chen Ran's convoy changed formation, lined up in four columns, and drove onto the bridge.

As a result, all the vehicles actually stopped.

Therefore, Chen Ran parked 6 armored vehicles, 1 armored road opener and 1 modified fire water storage truck at both ends of the convoy to form a defensive position and hold the bridgehead position on both sides.

Personnel were also arranged to be on duty.

In this way, the safety of their convoy is more guaranteed.

Subsequently, in the middle of the convoy, the personnel of each car began to get out of the car one after another and got busy.

The people in the cooking class began to prepare everyone's dinner tonight.

It's not far from Jingpeng Town, so Chen Ran asked the convoy to eat dinner early.

At night, all vehicles in the convoy, including the inside of the car, are not allowed to be lit, even if some vehicles have been installed with thick curtains, so as not to accidentally let the lights shine through and attract zombies.

The convoy maintenance squad began to carry out emergency repairs to the armored road opener.

Just after Chen Ran got out of the car, he immediately went to check the situation of the armored road opener.

At noon, the hard entry into Haolai Hule Township has fully demonstrated the strength and importance of this armored road opener to the team.

However, along the way, I hit so many zombies in a row, and there are many strengthened zombies with considerable strength and weight, even if the collision device of the armored road opener is special, it is still slightly deformed and loose.

If it is not repaired in time, maybe when you break into Helan Temple Town again tomorrow, there will be some mistakes, and it will be troublesome.

And the people of several combat teams also have their own jobs.

Some have already begun to take up the task of defending the convoy sites.

Today is the first day that their convoy has spent the night on the grassland, and it is close to Jingpeng Town, so it is necessary to send additional personnel to defend the convoy.

The other part of the fighters, after gathering with a part of the logistics team, are ready to set off to carry out the other characters.

Among the many different versions of the electronic map that Chen Ran downloaded, there was a map that happened to record the location of some nearby factories.

This includes the location of a smelter and a small coal mine, which contains some of the materials necessary to craft weapons.

At this time, it was still early, and it was still more than two hours before it got dark.

So of course, Chen Ran will not miss the opportunity to go to these factories and collect some supplies.

In addition, the service area that his father found before, although it is not suitable for the convoy to stop overnight, may also have some supplies in it.

So Chen Ran was also going to send a team of people to take a look over there.

Food, medicine, and oil were all things they had to collect.

In addition, today Zhang Xiangdong also reported to Chen Ran that the mobile phone reserves in the team are declining rapidly.

With the continuous increase in the number of people in the team, especially after Zhou Hongyu joined the team at the same time with 76 survivors.

Almost all the mobile phones that were originally collected in the convoy have been distributed.

Although it is the end of the world now, Chen Ran and their team have their own network system. Even the survivors in the convoy have to use their mobile phones to make monetary settlements, which is everyone's wallet.

Therefore, mobile phones are still a must-have item for everyone in Chen Ran's team.

Now, the number of mobile phones in the fleet has been reduced to less than five.

If there are other new survivors on board, it may not be enough.

Therefore, Chen Ran hopes that they can find some more vehicles to deliver express delivery in this Jingpeng service area.

In that case, they should be able to find some more phones.

In short, all the work in the team is being carried out in an orderly manner.

Speaking of Chen Ran, he found the smelter and coal mine.

The smelter is getting farther and farther away from the bridge where their convoy is currently parked.

Walk back for about 2 km, turn right from a side road and walk another 1.5 km or so.

From the satellite map, they can see that this is a smelting plant that is not very large.

But for Chen Ran now, it is enough.

No matter how small the smelter is, the amount of metal reserves in it is certainly not a small amount.

At least for Chen Ran, who now has less than 300 people.

And that coal mine, judging from the satellite map, appears to be an open-pit coal mine.

The scale doesn't seem to be very large, either.

It's a little farther away, about four kilometers back, and it's not in the same place as the smelter.

So Chen Ran and the others are also ready to act separately.

Let's not talk about the people who go to the coal mine to find coal.

After the action team was assembled, Chen Ran and Xu Kai took one of the combat squads and 15 logistics and transportation personnel to the direction of the smelter. Prepare to collect some metal supplies and come back.
