Chapter 69: What About the Temple? What about the temple?
By the time the convoy returned to Taniguchi, the fortifications had changed considerably after a morning.
First of all, the rammed earth city wall has been basically formed, with road rollers compaction on it, and someone outside is wrapping bricks.
The rammed earth wall made in a hurry is easy to collapse, and the soil is soft and easy to be broken by monsters, and in the case of cement shortage, the only way to build a city is to rely on the ancient method of building a city, and put a circle of bricks on the outside. The bricks on the site now vary in size, old and new, and the buildings that have been demolished or are being demolished along the way indicate the origin of these bricks.
There are also works under construction on the cliffs on both sides, and judging from the rudimentary shape of the current protrusion of several meters high, it should be a defensive tower. Stretching along the ridge to both sides, it is vaguely visible that several tower-like projects are already being built simultaneously.
The biggest change is the castle tower, the cement prefabricated panels have not been removed, but the steel gate is already being installed at the city gate. Judging by a door that has been installed and is being tested, this should be a gate that opens and closes up and down.
"The mayor is quite capable this week, he erected a Great Wall in one night, and how is this gate neat?" The attraction of the fortifications to Xu Wanhu temporarily replaced the confusion about the fat man's strange response.
"Electric gate, what's so strange, our country has overcapacity, and this can't be manufactured. It is estimated that there is this factory nearby, and they moved it overnight, but this gate consumes electricity, and I don't know how they plan to solve it. And a single gate may not be able to block it. Xia Fan was a little disdainful of the loneliness of liberal arts students.
The return of the convoy elicited cheers from the builders of the city walls, but the cheers did not last long, as they saw the stumps and broken arms pulled up by the wagons, as well as the wounded who had no strength to wail.
The cheers turned into silence, and some people took off their heads and made of willow branches made of makeshift helmets, a gesture that spread and was imitated by many more, and those who did not wear hats, some bowed, some saluted.
In addition to people with special skills, there are also children who have escaped unaccompanied and can enjoy special treatment, and everyone else has to participate in various kinds of labor in order to obtain food. The command uses food as a reward for participating in various labors, but it does not force you to participate, it is a matter of your willingness, and it all depends on the needs and consciousness of the survivors.
The easy and safe work of wearing armbands to guide the way can only barely eat half full, and building the city wall can provide enough food, but only the laborers themselves. If the family is large and other elderly women and children are unable to participate in heavy physical work, they have to participate in dangerous work in order to obtain food to feed the family, and participating in foraging programs is one of the most dangerous jobs.
Of course, there are also some people who are really willing to contribute to the survival of human civilization and voluntarily participate in foraging programs.
Whatever the participants' intentions, it was their adventures and sacrifices that brought back the food that kept the entire camp alive.
Those who can escape to the refuge camp alive have already experienced the initial baptism of the last days, and the desire to survive is far greater than the panic in their hearts.
As a result, no one fell into panic with all their might, and the respect for the foraging convoy was contagious to everyone present, and even if anyone panicked at the sight of the tragedy, they were affected by this group sentiment.
The strong men who escaped under the bamboo knives and bamboo cannons of the monsters were already sick and wilted after exsuming a lot of physical strength in escaping and moving goods. When they saw the respect shown by the people around them, they suddenly had the strength, and one by one they stood up straight, lifted up, and greeted that respect with some pride.
Even among the dozens of frightened people, some stood up with trembling legs and leaning on the railing of the truck.
Even Xu Wanhu also had a sense of pride.
"So many people have died for less than two weeks' rations, who will want to go out next time? All of them dragged their families with their mouths, and it was a question of whether the corpses were brought back or not, civilians were not soldiers, and their willpower was not so firm, so if they came again, would anyone still salute? I'm not optimistic. Xia Fan poured cold water.
Xu Wanhu nodded, "Liu Yu, they came out of the barracks in a hurry, I don't know how many arms reserves they brought, and they used so much ammunition today, what should I do if there is a zombie tide behind?" There are also medicines. Today he focused on food and fuel, and he had no extra energy to go out and sweep the pharmacy, which was a failure. ”
The two men followed behind the convoy, chatting as they drove along, and it didn't take long for them to enter the city gate with the convoy.
"One, two, three......" Xia Fan found that the city gate had reserved the positions of the three gates, "Monkey, after it is installed, will we not be able to run out?" No, we have to find a way to escape, and we can't stay here any longer. ”
"I'll upgrade the fuel tank later, and then ask Liu Yu for some gasoline." Xu Wanhu plans to use some of the space particles to upgrade the fuel tank.
Wuling Hongguang's fuel tank capacity is 50 liters, Xu Wanhu plans to consume 0.45 cubic meters of space particles, first upgrade the fuel tank to 500 liters, so that the car can reach more than 5,000 kilometers.
"Wouldn't 500 liters be too big? Now the load of the whole car is 2 tons, and another half a ton will be added to ......" As a student of the Department of Automotive Engineering, Xia Fan is full of doubts about Xu Wanhu's blind Jie Bao Reform, according to the explanation in the magic reform plan given by Qianhu, the space particles only expand the space storage, but the weight still has to be added to the original.
"I'm still too small, don't see that Haizhou is more than 1,000 kilometers away in a straight line, but we may not take a straight line. If you don't take advantage of Liu Yu to get oil now, where will we find oil later. Xu Wanhu glanced at the oil gauge, showing that there is still a lot of oil, and he hasn't actually driven much road since last night, but there is still a long way to go.
The family members of the dead men came around to claim the body, and the scene was chaotic, and Xu Wanhu drove away after seeing the emptiness. After this battle, the black car hero, oh no, the god car hero is even more famous, and he doesn't want to become the target of public criticism at this time. Wang Gang's gang alone is enough for a headache, but there are no more people who blame him for the death of his loved ones.
To blame...... You can blame Liu Yu.
Who let him command is unfavorable.
Bypassing the crowd and traffic, Xu Wanhu still drove the car to the Xuandi Temple last night.
The Xuandi Temple is not only hidden, but also has plenty of materials around.
Except for Liu Yu, no one should find them.
Liu Yu, he wants to listen to him.
It is estimated that at this time, Liu Yu has no energy to eavesdrop.
At least dozens of family members of the dead fainted in front of the command car, and said Liu Yu, do you dare to press over.
Ten minutes later, [Wuling Hongguang? Arrive at the Xuandi Temple.
"What about the temple? I'll go, what about the temple? ”
Xu Wanhu and Xia Fan were crazy.
Not only are the steel bars on the square gone, but the entire Xuandi Temple half-pull renovation project is now left with a foundation.
