******************
After arriving at the destination, the self-rescue army's city-building team quickly moved into action.
1,250 people, divided into several parts. Some are responsible for drawing lines on the ground, some are responsible for digging trenches, some are responsible for transporting earth and stones, some are responsible for cutting stone walls, and some are responsible for standing guard. Among them, the largest number of people digging trenches were the largest, nearly 600 people.
Even Chen Yuan and Zhang Zeshan joined the army of building the city, and they kept dancing the shovels in their hands, digging up shovels of earth and stones from the ground, and then pouring them into the bamboo baskets placed next to them. When the basket is full, someone will immediately step forward and carry it away, and at the same time put an empty basket.
After being strengthened by the spirit and flesh, the human beings are infinitely powerful, they are simply humanoid excavators, and they will not feel tired when moving mountains and reclamation. With one hand, you can easily lift a basket of earth and stones weighing 100 catties, and you can also stride meteors at a fast speed. The scene was in full swing.
In a short time, a large amount of earth and stones were piled up on the foundation of the empty city wall in the middle.
At the same time, Chen Shuyuan also began his busyness.
There are special people who will pick out large pieces of earth and stone and pile them together. Then Chen Shuyuan used his ability on these clods of soil, and between his hands, piles of clods of soil, which were originally very fragile, turned into harder "stones" under the effect of the soil ability.
The person in charge of building the outer wall of the city wall will use these "stones" to build a stone wall along the outside of the foundation of the city wall, and surround the earth and stones in the middle to prevent the earth and stones from collapsing.
Thanks to the efforts of the humanoid excavators and Hercules porters, the efficiency of the crowd was extremely high, and in less than one hour, the city wall was already half a meter high.
Ten hours later, at half past five the next morning, a 300-meter-long and 5-meter-high earth and stone wall had risen from the ground and appeared on the Gobi Desert, which had been empty.
However, at this time, the city wall had not yet been completed.
Because no cement is used, the "stone" exterior wall is not very strong, and it is very likely to collapse when attacked by external forces.
Therefore, Chen Shuyuan is also needed to strengthen the city wall as a whole. The walls that were originally made up of stones were alienated into a single whole.
It's just that after a night of continuous ability use, Chen Shuyuan is already very tired at this time. A person alienates the stone needed to build a city wall, even if it is only the outer wall of the city wall, it is a lot. Chen Shuyuan's ability was actually exhausted in the first half of the night. In the second half of the night, if you recover a little, you immediately change a little more, so the ability always stays empty.
Chen Yuan said distressedly: "Dad, let's rest for a while, there should be nearly three hours before dawn." Don't be in a hurry, price the walls now. ”
But Chen Shuyuan shook his head, and he said, "Wait a while and rest, the ability just now has recovered a little, and I will strengthen a small broken city wall now." ”
So Chen Shuyuan walked up to the city wall, pressed his hands on the ground, and while feeling the scope of the "stone wall", he mobilized a little ability that he had just recovered, and applied it to the city wall. I saw that the stone wall had just been built, and the pieces of "stones" were fused together at a speed visible to the naked eye, as if they were born as a whole.
It's just that since the reserves of the ability are really not much, this time Chen Shuyuan only strengthened the city wall of less than one meter, and the ability has been completely used up again. I had to retreat and rest.
Since then, Chen Shuyuan will re-enter the city wall every hour to reinforce a few short sections.
By 8:30 a.m., the sun was rising above the horizon in the east.
At this time, the 300-meter wall was only about one-fifth reinforced. However, Chen Shuyuan also has a strategy for reinforcing the city wall, he reinforces the city wall every 4 meters, which is similar to making many pillars on the city wall. At the very least, if it is attacked by zombies immediately, the city wall will not collapse in a large area. As for the rest, he can continue to strengthen if he has time.
But obviously, the zombies don't leave them much time.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, only half an hour before sunrise, the soldier in charge of standing guard made an urgent report to Chen Yuan: "Fort Chief, two flying corpses have taken off from the saltpeter mine area and are flying towards us!" ”
"Got it!" Chen Yuan ended the communication and said to Xu Kai beside him: "It seems that the zombies in the mining area are about to find us." ”
Zhang Zeshan asked: "Then what should I do, should I withdraw first?" ”
"No way!" Chen Yuan said: "If we withdraw now, the zombies will immediately come out and raze our newly built city wall." The corpse control is not a fool, a wall suddenly appeared here, and a little thought will know that this is being used against them. ”
Jiang Wenli said: "Then let's fight!" Anyway, the city wall has been strengthened by a fifth, which should be enough for a battle! ”
So Chen Yuan ordered: "Wei Chen, notify the snipers and kill the two flying corpses immediately!" ”
"Yes!"
"Lao Xiao, you take the self-propelled artillery formation, the tank battalion, you leave me two, you also take the others, and 12 armored personnel carriers act immediately, Rao to the north of the mining area to attract zombies, and the movement is as loud as possible. When the zombies are out of the mining area, remember to lead them north, the farther the better! ”
"Understood!"
"Zhang Zeshan, Jiang Wenli, inform the troops to immediately go to the city wall and prepare for battle."
"Yes!"
"Lu Yu (mortar company commander), give you two buses, and immediately take your mortar company back 500 meters. Waiting for orders! ”
"Yes!"
With the appearance of two flying corpses, the great war becomes imminent.
Soon, two flying corpses close to the position of the Self-Rescue Army were shot down by snipers. Suddenly two flying corpses were lost, and one of the corpses in the saltpeter mine immediately discovered the anomaly. The zombies began to get restless.
At the same time, with 5 self-propelled guns, 7 tanks and 12 armored personnel carriers, Xiao Tengcan's armored convoy was heading north at full speed amid the roaring sound of engines. The fast-moving armored vehicles kicked up a huge amount of dust, which could be seen even from a distance of a kilometer or two. Naturally, the zombies in the mining area also noticed.
A small number of uncontrolled zombies had already rushed out of the gate and rushed towards Xiao Tengcan's armored convoy.
But that's not enough.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Tengcan, who had already moved from the west of the saltpeter mine to the north of the mine, ignored the zombies that were rushing towards him, stopped the convoy, and ordered the seven tanks to turn their guns and fire at the north wall of Xiaocaohu Saltpeter Resources Development Co., Ltd.
"Boom ......"
The violent explosion blew several openings in the mining company's northern fence.
Suddenly, a large number of zombies poured out from within the wall.
At this time, less than 100 zombies that had been chased in advance had already approached the armored convoy.
"Machine guns ready for each car!"
"Fire!"
"All ......"
Whether it is a tank or a self-propelled gun or an armored personnel carrier, there are heavy machine guns on board. Xiao Tengcan gave an order, and the heavy machine guns of 24 combat vehicles opened fire in unison, and in less than 10 seconds, the first wave of **ten zombies that rushed up were all killed. Those 12.7mm heavy machine gun bullets are capable of easily tearing these ordinary zombies without armor to shreds.
In the distance, there are more and more zombies that have just washed out of the saltpeter mining area, and after 1 minute, it is initially estimated that there are as many as 1,500 zombies. Looking at the past, it was like ants rushing over densely.
