Chapter 36: Preparing to Go
"Hey, why is it so cold today," Li Haiyang said, his body couldn't help but shiver, and he reached out to put the raincoat hanging on the clothes rack on his body before going to the bathroom to brush his teeth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the two of them had just gotten up, and Zhang Zhi also felt that the temperature had dropped again today, and he felt a little cold in the room wearing clothes.
He also put on a raincoat and looked around the window to compare the number of walking corpses.
The two of them are usually more attentive, and they wear raincoats and gloves when they go outside. Take it off when you eat and sleep to prevent other infections that you don't know exist.
Not to mention that this raincoat is very good to wear, and it is waterproof and dustproof and warm.
Zhang Zhi often thinks about the people in those post-apocalyptic works, who have just cut zombies and have bloody hands, and they don't wash their hands, what they eat and what they eat, and they don't change their clothes, don't they know that the disease comes from the mouth?
The number of walking corpses has increased again, not much, but a little more every day.
recorded it, and when Li Haiyang finished brushing his teeth, he also went to brush it, and then the two went downstairs for a morning run. Washing your face is a bit of a luxury now, brushing your teeth is good, the water in the cistern has been consumed and evaporated, and there has been very little rain in recent times.
The two of them ran around the yard in the morning, but today's eyes will glance at the middle of the yard from time to time.
It turned out that in addition to a pickup truck parked in the center of the yard, there was also a heavy truck with a 7-meter 2-box full hanger.
It was about 2 p.m. when the two of them came back yesterday.
After showing Wu Liguo the photos and videos he took, Wu Liguo immediately selected a Volvo heavy truck. His reason is that the car is relatively new, not prone to breakdowns, imported, and has strong horsepower.
In order to avoid long nights and dreams, the three of them immediately took the necessary tools, drove the pickup truck, did not eat, and rumbled straight to the Volvo factory.
This way really attracted a lot of walking corpses, and Wu Liguo, who was sitting in the car, turned white.
The model is not very far from this factory, Li Haiyang spared a few laps near the factory, flicked his tail and plunged into the factory, closed the door and began to attack Volvo.
The car is keyless. stepped on the pickup truck and smashed the glass, and then sent Wu Liguo into the cockpit, and the two began to smoke next to them to watch the excitement.
The professionals really didn't cover it, and after a while, the door opened, and the two looked inside, and the panel of the cab had been demolished by Wu Liguo.
After a period of tinkering, the car was successfully started!
Wu Liguo meant to go back and do some modifications, and it would be easy to launch.
Originally, the Volvo was equipped with a 13-meter semi-trailer. When Zhang Zhi understood what was called half-hanging and what was called full-hanging, he decisively gave up this 13-meter half-hanging.
13 meters is too long to be used at all. Moreover, it is very inconvenient to disassemble the semi-trailer, and it takes a lot of time for a single car to break down on the road.
The full trailer is different, the tractor can be pulled away, and the mobility is stronger. Just when he was inspecting the factory before, Zhang Zhi saw a 7-meter-2 full-trailer truck, which was quite new, and there was no car carrying it there.
Then the two helped Wu Liguo dismantle the semi-trailer, and then the three of them drove a heavy truck tractor and a pickup truck, and drove to the factory of the full-trailer box truck. When leaving, Zhang Zhi did not forget to violently pry open the door of the 13-meter trailer, but he was disappointed and empty.
The routine is still this, throw it off in circles, and then the factory. When bypassing, it is inevitable that a few walking corpses will be pressed, and Wu Liguo, who has a heavy truck, has a whiter face. If it weren't for the co-pilot's Zhang Zhi who had been commanding him strongly, it is estimated that he would have to stop and dare not drive!
Zhang Zhi felt that this was fine, so he would be a soldier, don't really dare to suppress the walking corpse when it was time to set off, at that time, it would be even more troublesome.
But then the heavy truck hit the walking corpse is really enjoyable, the real flesh and blood flying, the meat grinder in general, one or two walking corpses below, the heavy truck is not even bothered, and the wide and tall tires directly crush the walking corpse into meat paste.
After hanging all the hangings, the three of them rumbled back to the factory, and what disappointed Zhang Zhi again was that the cabinet was empty after prying it open.
Now this car looks a bit nondescript. Heavy truck horsepower pull 7.2 meters full hanging is too wasteful, if there is a car owner before the end of the world to do so to pay for death, running a goods is not enough fuel money.
But Zhang Zhi thinks it's very good, it's not easy to pull and fuel-efficient, and he has other uses for high horsepower.
Next, Zhang Zhi and the others followed the list given by Wu Liguo to find suitable materials.
The previous scrap iron factory must have go, but unfortunately a lot of steel bars have been found, but the suitable iron plates have not been harvested, either too big or too heavy.
The two had to look elsewhere.
Because the movement of the pickup truck was too big, the two casually engaged in a three-wheeled motorcycle for the convenience of travel, which is the kind that pulls people in the suburbs, and there is a shed in the back. There are really a lot of suburbs in Shencheng, and the two of them used to often see them thrown on the side of the road, but at that time, the two of them were not good at combat effectiveness and defense, and they were still afraid when they saw the walking corpses, so they didn't look at this swagger through the market.
It is said that what the two people are looking for also has a small episode.
One day, the two of them saw a fat Garfield in an alley. This Garfield has red blood stains on his body, presumably with some injuries.
This was the first time the two had seen animals other than birds and bugs since the cataclysm.
It stands to reason that pet cats of this generation like Garfield stay at home and don't run outside easily. Zhang Zhi later analyzed that it may be that he ran out of things at home and came out hungry to find food.
The picture at that time was a bit weird, the two met unexpectedly in a small alley, and then they were vigilant against each other.
The two are afraid of cat mutations.
And with the intelligence of the cat, it is obviously impossible to distinguish the difference between the walking corpse and the human, and it may be that the injuries on the body are caused by the walking corpse, so after seeing the two of them, there is no meekness of a pet cat at all, vigilantly erecting his tail, raising a paw and staring at the two motionlessly.
Li Haiyang didn't know where to be comfortable, so he moved, and the cat exploded all over his body after seeing it, and then ran away along the wall with a whoosh.
It's hard to believe that a fat-looking figure can run so fast.
Normally, there are a lot of wild cats in the city, but the two of them really haven't seen them, maybe they haven't met them.
As for wild dogs, Zhang Zhi analyzed that they were choking enough to survive.
Dogs are not like cats, they run away when they encounter danger.
Generally, wild dogs have a bit of a temper, and when they encounter danger, they will first howl and warn, and some will pounce on them to attack, until they are really hurt before they run away with their tails between their legs.
But because of this characteristic, wild dogs will definitely not survive.
They play ruthlessly with the walking corpses, who is ruthless to whom? As soon as you scream, it will attract more walking corpses, what is the use of biting walking corpses, walking corpses don't care.
Wild dogs bite the walking corpse, and the walking corpse will be returned immediately, and it will also bite a mouthful of hair.
When they want to run, they can't run away.
As for the pets in the house, they were either starved to death or eaten by their owners.
When Zhang Zhi said this, Li Haiyang unconsciously presented a picture in his mind.
A teddy was holding his master's thigh and swaying his ass back and forth, simulating a piston movement with a little bitch, when suddenly the owner who slapped him at most in the past roared angrily, knocked it down, and then opened his mouth to bite it, blood spurted out. Sprayed on clean stalls, sprayed on white walls, accompanied by the wail of dogs.
Thinking of this, Li Haiyang couldn't help but shudder.
Through this episode, the two can basically be sure that the animals should not be transformed, and it seems that this is only a catastrophe for humans.
In this way, a week passed, and many useful things were found, but the two most important things were not found.
Steel plates of the right size and weight as well as electrical welding equipment.
There are many factories that make clothes nearby, and they don't need this equipment. And the welding equipment company I saw before also went. It turned out that this is just a simple sales company, but not a warehouse.
After a week of getting along, the attitude of the two towards Wu Liguo has obviously changed for the better, especially after seeing Wu Liguo's technology of packing up the cart.
But the little black room still has to be closed, except for the tools he can use when repairing the car, staring at the point when cooking, and the other things with sharp points except pens, other things he can't touch.
"Old Wu, what should you do?" The three of them sat together and smoked after eating, and then discussed it.
"These days, the two eldest brothers went out to look for things, and I also thought of a solution, I think gas welding can go to the prison, the auto repair factory where I used to work, and the tools there are also complete." Wu Liguo thought for a while and said, he was not as restrained as he was a few days ago, but his tone of voice was still with awe.
"How long have you not been there? Are you sure the garage is still open at the time of the cataclysm? Zhang Zhi first nodded respectfully to the mechanic's suggestion, and then asked.
"Sure Brother Zhang! Although I don't work there anymore, I'm still very familiar with the boss and employees on that side, and two of them are still apprentices I bring, and I called to transfer auto parts not long ago. Wu Liguo said in an affirmative tone.
"Okay, what about the steel plates? Any thoughts? Zhang Zhi asked again.
"Steel plate, I'm not sure if I can find this nearby, but I have thought about replacing it with this cargo plate on the trailer, I don't know if it works, although the strength of this steel plate is not so high, but Brother Zhang said before, the main thing is to guide, not to hit directly, I think it can still be used for a while." And his weight is much lighter than ordinary steel plates," Wu Liguo thought for a while and said.
Seeing Zhang Zhi's expression of nodding and doubting at first, Wu Liguo didn't wait for Zhang Zhi to ask, and immediately said, "You can cut with gas welding, I think this kind of trailer should be everywhere on the road, with gas welding, we can disassemble a lot of things." ”
Zhang Zhi did not reply immediately, but pondered carefully for a while, weighed it, and then decided to change the plan and went to the auto repair shop to modify the car.
Originally, he wanted to go out after he had changed it, and not fight an unprepared battle.
But the reality has always been very pale, and now the two most critical things can't be solved, and there is no other good way to do it, so I can only consider changing the plan.
And Lao Wu's plan is also reliable.
In fact, the most important thing is that there were no heavy trucks when the vehicle was planned to be renovated! After Zhang Zhi saw the strong horsepower of heavy trucks, it was not a big problem to temporarily use heavy trucks to charge an hour's distance! Based on this, Zhang Zhicai can change the plan with confidence.
After deciding on the plan, everyone began to move supplies to the trailer. Make final preparations to go to prison.
Zhang Zhi's idea was that no matter what the situation on the prison side was, they should be ready to leave the factory.
The situation on the prison side is good, naturally it is good, and the supplies are just moved to another place. If the situation in the prison is not good, you have to make this preparation, you can go anywhere with the supplies in your hand, it's a big deal to come back, it's a big deal to find a place, it's a big deal to drive directly on the road.
But if the materials are thrown here and the people are gone, Zhang Zhi is not at ease! The road ahead is unknown, and no one knows what will happen! If you really can't come back, then it's worth more to collect supplies.
The cardboard of the cardboard factory has been used very smoothly recently, and Zhang Zhi is still a little reluctant, so he first used cardboard to lay a few layers at the bottom of the box.
Not to mention that there are really a lot of benefits to doing this, it is clean. Shockproof. Moisture-proof, you will need to use it in the future, and you can use it by pulling out a piece. Find an open space to make a mattress and sleep, it's not hard!
Look at the effect well, simply glue the inside of the box on both sides of the roof to paste cardboard, which can prevent the things in the bumpy road car from shaking left and right to make a sound, and it can also have a certain warmth effect.
7.2 is not small, Zhang Zhi planned it and divided it into several areas, where to put the infrequently used inside, the commonly used outside, where to put the water, where to put the rice, where to put the clothes, where to put the tools, materials and weapons? The seal that should be sealed in a carton should be packed in a turnover basket. The side of the turnover basket can be placed upright, and two or three ceilings can be used as shelves, saving space and making it easy to take things. Anyway, everything is in order. After all the necessary supplies were loaded, there was still a large area left.
Zhang Zhi is smart, but he is not a genius.
He just likes to ponder, drawing the size of the space on paper, imagining the plan through actual measurements and mental simulations, and it just takes some time.
In this way, two months after the apocalyptic catastrophe struck, three men and two cars were finally ready to set off in search of weapons and a new safe place.
And our novel is also going to enter a new volume, Doomsday Survival!
