Chapter 31 Coal Mines

Xie Tian recognized that the building was the derrick of the coal mine, and he could vaguely see the huge steel cable wheel plate above the derrick, and blurted out: "Let's go southwest, there is a coal mine there." ”

"Coal mines?" Song Hui was stunned for a long time and asked, "Why didn't I see it?" ”

Everyone else was also confused, no one saw the shadow of the coal mine, and they didn't know why Xie Tian said that there was a coal mine in the southwest.

"Trust me." Xie Tian blurted out: "Coal mines are much safer than villages, you should have discovered a very simple rule, zombies are mostly gathered in residential areas, remote industrial and mining enterprises will definitely not have too many zombies, according to common sense, zombies at the beginning, most of the workers who have not been infected should have fled home in panic, and the coal mine should be able to replenish some materials that cannot be found in residential areas." ”

The density of zombies is almost proportional to the density of human beings before the outbreak of zombies, and the more people there are before the outbreak of zombies, the more zombies there are, such as cities and towns, but if it is a deserted place like the suburbs, naturally there is no shadow of zombies.

In the coal mines located in the suburbs, most of the workers must be villagers from the surrounding towns and villages, and in times of crisis, most of them will choose to go home to spend time with their relatives rather than choose to stay and live with the coal mines, so this is also the reason why Xie Tian tends to go to the coal mines.

"Okay." Song Hui nodded and said, "Just according to what Xie Tian said, let's go find the coal mine." ”

Soon, the car drove to a fork in the country road, and the car avoided the village and chose to head southwest, and as it went, the others gradually saw the outline of the coal shaft, and by the time the distance was less than ten kilometers, the whole coal mine could be seen clearly.

"It looks like a small coal mine." Song Hui said: "That's fine, there are not many workers in the small coal mine, and there are not too many zombies." ”

The mine is located in the middle of a field, with no people in a radius of at least 10 kilometers, not even a house in sight, and the mine has a west-facing cement road, which is supposed to be a national highway connecting to the west.

The iron fence gate of the coal mine has been locked, but Xie Tiankai easily knocked the gate open, although the inside of the coal mine looked very messy, but no trace of corpses and zombies was found, Xie Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "Let's hurry up and find out, see if there are any materials that can be used, and then look for a place suitable for the night." ”

All the cars drove into the open space inside the gate of the coal mine, in addition to Xie Tian and Song Hui's two cars, there were also two survivors' cars also followed, Xie Tian instructed Zhao Ziye and Xie Yufei sisters and brothers, and said: "I'll meet with them, by the way, take a look at the situation here, you stay in the car, don't get down for the time being." ”

After what happened last time, Zhao Ziye basically obeyed Xie Tian, but at this moment, her expression was a little embarrassed, looking at Xie Tian, she wanted to say something, but she couldn't open her mouth.

Xie Tian saw Zhao Ziye's expression of wanting to speak and stopped, so he pretended to be casual and said to everyone: "If anyone wants to go to the toilet, let's bear with it for the time being, and then talk about it after making sure that it is safe here." ”

Zhao Ziye nodded lightly and glanced at Xie Tian gratefully, while Xie Tian inserted the pistol into his waist, pushed the door and got out of the car, and came to Song Hui and their Land Rover.

The door of the Land Rover also opened at the same time, and four people walked out of the car, each of them was about one meter eight big men, Song Hui was the older in it, and the others were almost twenty-six or seventeen years old, with pistols in their waists, and they were very military in their gestures.

Xie Tian nodded to a few people and said, "Let's take a look around, if it's safe here, let's rest here for the night for the time being, and by the way, look for any supplies available." ”

"Okay." Song Hui nodded, pointed to his side and reminded a little chubby: "This is my comrade-in-arms, Liu Mu." After speaking, he pointed to another thin and tall man and said, "This is Zhu Jinxi." Immediately, another one was introduced, saying: "This is Ma Jicheng." ”

Xie Tianyi greeted a few people one by one, and then said, "I'll go and see what the situation is with the two cars of people in the back." ”

The two cars of people who fled with Xie Tian saw Xie Tian coming, and they also got out of the car one after another, and there were a total of seven people in the two cars, five men and two women.

Xie Tian went straight to the point and said, "If you are going to go on the road with us in the future, you five men can come and help, first check if there are any zombies in the mine, and then look to see if there are any materials available." ”

The five men also have no opinion, since they have followed Xie Tian all the way, they naturally have the idea of being together all the way, and at this time, everyone should play their own role.

Song Hui may have been for the purpose of maintaining stability, so that his subordinates Zhu Jinxi and Ma Jicheng took each other's two men, Song Hui and his comrade-in-arms Liu Mu brought another one, Xie Tian called out Xie Xiaofei and Li Yang, the twelve men were divided into four groups, respectively to check the situation in various areas of the coal mine, looking for materials, Xie Tian was not interested in materials, and what he wanted most was to be able to find a place where he could rest with peace of mind, after all, there were five people in his car, and how to rest at night was a problem.

Song Hui and the others went to the living quarters, another group of people went to the material warehouse of the coal mine, and a group of people went to the office area of the coal mine, Xie Tian, Xie Xiaofei, and Li Yang, two brothers, were in charge of the area of the mine, and the ground near the mine was almost invisible in other colors, all of which were covered with a thick layer of coal ash, and on a small blackboard outside the workshop, the words written in white chalk could be vaguely seen: "At the request of the superiors: close the coal mine before six o'clock tonight, and evacuate all workers before five o'clock." "The date indicated below is May 29th.

Li Yang said in a low voice: "Brother Xie, it seems that the workers here have been evacuated for a long time, there should be no zombies, right?" ”

"I hope so." Xie Tian took out his pistol and carefully pushed open the door of the workshop, and there was a rear eight-wheeled dump truck under repair.

"I haven't had time to change the tires yet." Xie Tian pointed to the tools and tires that had been discarded next to the left rear wheel, and said, "This car should still work." ”

Xie Xiaofei said excitedly: "Oh, Brother Xie, if we can repair this car, we will have one more mobile fortress, although it is not as good as your Volvo, but the horsepower of this car is still very sufficient, I'll go over and take a look!" ”

Five people crammed into the cab of the heavy truck is indeed a little uncomfortable, Xie Tian also hopes to find a suitable car for Xie Yufei's sisters and brothers, but the heavy truck itself already has one, is it necessary to have another one? Moreover, both heavy trucks need to be filled with diesel, their own diesel reserves, one car is enough, if it is two cars, it may seem a little embarrassing.

"Brother Xie." Xie Xiaofei climbed into the cab and said to Xie Tian: "The car key is still there, this car should be replacing the tires normally, I'll start it and try it." ”

Xie Tian nodded, Xie Xiaofei started the car, the engine roared, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with the car, and then got out of the car and checked the tires on the ground that had not had time to be replaced, and confirmed that the tires were normal, as long as the tires were replaced, the car could run.

Xie Xiaofei smacked his lips, looked at this domestic rear eight wheels, and said: "It would be nice if there was electricity and a welding machine, in that case, I would be able to reinforce this car like Brother Xie's Volvo." ”

Xie Tian had a wit, thinking that if this truck could be welded together, then the back bucket of this car could be used as a resting place, there was a lot of space on it, and some things could be laid out for people to rest, and if you found some materials in the future, you could put them in this car, so as to avoid the possibility of exposing a large number of materials in your Volvo, thinking of this, Xie Tian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "I have the welding machine and generator, turn around and carry it down and you weld slowly, let's go to other places first, See if there's anything else useful. ”
