Chapter 18 Small Gains
Yesterday it was a little dark, and I could only look at the outline. As soon as he came out of the space this morning, the sun was shining, and Li Dong saw it more clearly, far more shocked than yesterday.
All the high-rise buildings here have basically collapsed, leaving behind a lot of ruins and ruins, and only here can you truly realize that you are in the last days.
The ruins are surrounded by a ring of low, dilapidated walls, which suggests that people must have been in the city for so long that the whole city was rebuilt beyond recognition, until they were desperate and abandoned their homes.
The past is unbearable, and Li Dong can only be glad that he did not experience those difficult years. With a machete in one hand and a wooden stick in the other, he began his journey of discovery. Although it has been exposed to the wind and sun for 500 years, you can still see the original road. Li Dong planned to go inside along the road, but unfortunately he didn't find anything along the way, and all the bare steel was corroded.
Stop-and-go, Li Dong came to an industrial park, as evidenced by the broken chimneys. The last thing that is lacking in the industrial area is metal, and here he expects to have a good harvest.
I picked a factory building that had not completely collapsed, the gate had collapsed, and Li Dong got into it through the gap, which was very dark and dusty. He put on a mask, took out a flashlight, and looked around.
Emptiness, this is Li Dong's first impression, there is nothing in the thousands of square meters of space. There was no time to be disappointed, and suddenly, the circle of light of the flashlight shone on a broken door, leaving only a frame. Li Dong walked over curiously, and took a flashlight to shine inside the door.
This time, it was finally discovered that there were more than a dozen broken wooden boxes piled up on the ground. Li Dong became excited, kicked the door with three punches and two kicks, and immediately rushed in.
He kicked the wooden box with his foot, and it shook up a cloud of dust. The wooden box was about to be rotten, Li Dong opened the rotten wooden board with his hand, and finally saw the contents of the wooden box. Immediately disappointed, it turned out that it was a glass bottle, and the rotten ones were almost unable to see the color, and they would shatter when they touched it.
Li Dong, who did not believe in evil, went to rummage through other wooden boxes, all of which were the same, without exception. The angry Li Dong spat fiercely, secretly said a bad breath, and left the room.
Not long after leaving, Li Dong found another single room, the layout should be an office, with a set of sofas and several tables and chairs, which were also in tatters. The only catch was a rusty generator, about 50 pounds, probably an emergency power supply in the factory.
Moved the generator into the space, threw it in the pit, and finally won a consolation prize. Out of the space, Li Dong continued to search, and the remaining rooms didn't have much to gain, and they should have been emptied when they were evacuated.
After looking around and finding nothing, Li Dong decisively chose to leave, anyway, there are a lot of ruins here, take your time, don't worry. Over the course of the whole day, Li Dong entered no less than ten factories in total, but unfortunately there were still no major gains, all of them were some bits and pieces, which added up to three or four hundred catties, but they were still far from his goal.
The next day, Li Dong fought again with his army, and this time he had experience, focusing on those factories that occupied a large area. According to yesterday's experience, all the larger factories have more or less leftover items, and most of them are metal products.
Sure enough, at the beginning, Li Dong had a big harvest, in the warehouse of a factory, he found a batch of steel parts, the shape should belong to the car's anti-collision beam. Thinking of the car company in Wuhu City in his previous life, Li Dong guessed that this industrial area should be its parts supply chain, and it seems that he has come to the right place.
Li Dong roughly counted it, there were about more than 300 parts in this batch, but fortunately they were sprayed with paint and packaged, otherwise they would have rotted out long ago. But even so, it is now very rusty, and in some places it is even rotten.
In the end, it took Li Dong nearly two hours to move all the crash beams into the space. Each anti-collision beam is estimated to have more than a dozen catties, and together, there is about 5,000 catties facing up. The value of this trip, even if nothing is achieved in the next few days, today's harvest alone can expand the space to one acre of land.
After moving the anti-collision beam, Li Dong next found a few more factories, maybe today's luck has run out, and there is not much gain. One of the factories still has a machine tool left, but unfortunately it is too heavy, Li Dong can't take in space at all, and the machine tools are rusty, and there is no way to disassemble it, and in the end he can only reluctantly leave. Otherwise, this machine tool alone can add several acres of land to the space, and you can wake up laughing when you fall asleep.
At night, Li Dong was ready to throw the day's harvest into the pit, but unfortunately the pit was too small to absorb at one time, so he could only keep it a few more times.
When he woke up in the morning, Li Dong found that the space had obviously become larger again, and the area had roughly doubled, making the originally crowded space open again.
Walking to the "Gold Elimination Grotto", Li Dong threw another batch of anti-collision beams into it, and the rest could probably be thrown twice more. After a simple breakfast, Li Dong started his journey again.
After two days of searching, the industrial park has basically been walked through, only a few factories are left in the southeast corner, and if there is no accident, you can leave the park this morning.
As a result, the first few were unsuccessful, and the first few were all found nothing, and they were moved cleanly, and not even a nail was left. Only the last factory remained, although the area of this factory is not large, but it is very well preserved, through a stone carving at the door, Li Dong even knew the name of this factory.
"Yichang Metal Products Co., Ltd." seems to be a factory engaged in metal processing, and Li Dong has great expectations for it.
Walking into the factory, this is also a steel structure workshop, but unfortunately it can't be dismantled, Li Dong can only drool and ignore its existence. Maybe when you have money in the future, you can organize a group of professional demolition teams to deal with these factories, otherwise it will be too wasteful.
There was no accident, the machines of the entire factory were moved, Li Dong was not disappointed, even if he was helpless, his first target was the warehouse.
The warehouse was located at the rear of the factory, and unexpectedly, the gate turned out to be closed and locked. Li Dong stepped forward and pulled the lock, it seems that the quality of the lock is very good, although it is rusty, it is still strong.
Fortunately, he was prepared, Li Dong took out the steel shears from the space, "click, click" twice, the lock was cut, and it took a lot of effort to finally open the door.
What catches your eye is a hill of pallets, most of which have rotted, and the pallets that were once neatly stacked are now scattered all over the ground. Li Dong couldn't help but scold his mother, the factory owner was too picky, just these broken pallets, they were even locked, and he was overjoyed.
Leaving the factory in a huff, the industrial park was finally searched, Li Dong cleaned up his mood and chose to continue to march north, hoping that there would be a surprise he needed.
