Xie Tian has never paid attention to the railway system behind the safety zone, this time he went to check with Lao Cheng, only to find that the scale here is actually very large, there are several railway lines alone, Lao Cheng explained to Xie Tian: "These railways are used for marshalling and dismantling, and when the train comes in, the wagons can be unloaded here, and then driven back to the other end through another railway to complete the reversal, so that the empty wagons can be pulled away." ”

There is a dumper behind the power plant that specializes in unloading electric coal wagons, but this is of little use to Xie Tian for them, Lao Cheng ran to the green locomotive and carefully checked it for a long time, there is a cab at both ends of the train, the model is Dongfeng 4B, Lao Cheng climbed up to the cab and found that the doors of the two cabs were locked, and couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and said to Xie Tian: "The car has no key, the small building opposite, it should be the dispatching building, I will go there to find it, see if the key is not inside." ”

Xie Tian nodded and said, "I'm with you." ”

The so-called dispatching building, according to Lao Cheng's explanation, is to arrange the coal train in and out, dismantling and marshalling, unloading the command center, Lao Cheng said that the code of conduct on the railway is very strict, the train driver is not allowed to carry the key, after getting off, it will be handed back to the section or the dispatch center, so he believes that the key is in this building.

This building has been idle for a long time, Lao Cheng searched everywhere for a long time, only to find a string of keys nailed to the wooden board on the wall of an office, and then, Lao Cheng said excitedly: "I found it, this is it." ”

Xie Tian is also excited, with this, you can drive the train away, if you can really dredge the railway line from here to Xinyu, then once you enter the grain depot, those grains will be an astronomical amount to the people in this safe zone!

Lao Cheng is in his early fifties, his body is still quite strong, he trotted all the way to the locomotive, successfully opened the door of the cab, and then, he fiddled with it on the console, and the relevant electronic equipment of the train all lit up, Lao Cheng tried to start the internal combustion engine, the train let out a light tremble, and then, the central high-power diesel engine gradually roared.

For this quiet and safe area, the huge roar of the train's internal combustion engine was very abrupt, and most of the people ran to the coal yard to observe the situation here, and found that Xie Tian actually took a middle-aged and elderly person to start the train, looking at each other one by one, not knowing what Xie Tian was planning.

Immediately, Lao Cheng pushed the handle, and the speed of the train's internal combustion engine increased again, and the train started slowly! After driving only fifty meters, Lao Cheng stopped the train and said excitedly to Xie Tian: "Everything is good!" This locomotive is still in the prime of life! ”

Xie Tian was also a little excited, and said: "This train is not only heavy, but also very safe, only a few small windows and front glass, as long as these places are reinforced, the safety of the train is absolutely not doubtful, the most important thing, this train is open, no matter how many zombies stand in the way, it can be easily killed, zombies are not as good as ants for it!" ”

"That's right." Lao Cheng nodded and said: "The total weight of this locomotive is close to 150 tons, and the zombie is really not worth mentioning to it." ”

Xie Tian immediately said: "I'll let people come over with a small generator to reinforce it now, and then organize a dozen people, let's drive out today to have a look, and see if there is any hope of opening up this railway line!" ”

Xie Tian didn't even bother to eat a bite of breakfast until now, and immediately organized a few welders, drove directly to the coal yard with equipment in a picar, and then began to reinforce the glass of the locomotive, which took two hours to reinforce, Xie Tian immediately called Xie Xiaofei to go to the army to select ten strong ones, bring guns, bring necessary tools, and follow him out.

Ten soldiers immediately prepared, in addition to bringing guns, they also brought wrenches, hammers and other tools, and then, Xie Tian let all these people board the train, some of them were in the rear cab, others were waiting in the middle corridor, Xie Tian, Lao Cheng and Xie Xiaofei were in the front cab, Xie Tian used the walkie-talkie to tell Song Hui to manage the order of the safety zone, and then said to Lao Cheng: "Lao Cheng, let's go!" ”

Lao Cheng nodded, the locomotive still has 80% of the oil volume, there is no need to fill the fuel, and the locomotive has also been inspected to determine that there is no problem, Lao Cheng saw that the preparations have been done, so he started the internal combustion engine again, and after a while, the train slowly accelerated, drove out of the power plant, and went directly to the railway bridge.

After the train passed the railway bridge, Lao Cheng did not let the train accelerate, the speed has been maintained at about 20 kilometers per hour, according to Lao Cheng, the reason why he did not dare to accelerate, is that he is not sure to enter the location of the turnout of the trunk line, if the turnout is closed at the moment, then the train brakes in time, there is only one possibility, that is, derailment, the branch line of coal transport from the power plant to the access point of the trunk line is nearly 20 kilometers away, an hour later, Lao Cheng began to slow down, pointing to the two east-west railways hundreds of meters away in front and said: " That's the trunk line. ”

Fortunately, this is in the wilderness, and there is not even a zombie hair around, Lao Cheng said: "Come and come with a few strong young men with me to check the situation of the turnout in front." ”

Xie Tian opened his mouth and said: "I'll be with you, Xiaofei, you will be with you, and call three or five more people." ”

Seven or eight people got out of the car and walked to the turnout in front, Lao Cheng stepped forward to see, sure enough, the turnout was closed at the moment, so he said: "I pry the turnout open, and then we artificially connect the turnout to the trunk line." ”

Immediately, Lao Zheng used a tool to pry open an iron box on the side of the road, and then pointed to one of the telescopic rods in it, and said: "This pushes hard, so that the fork and the main line can be fitted together." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "This is easy, I'll come." Immediately, he poked in with an iron pickaxe, pried hard, and with a click, the two forks were pushed out and tightly attached to the main line.

Immediately, everyone paid attention to the nearby situation, looking west from the main line, and could not see the specific situation ahead, because the railway has a long curve here, and the visual inspection can only see the situation a few kilometers away, Lao Cheng said: "At present, it seems that there are no other trains blocking it, let's get on the train and continue to drive forward to see." ”

The train successfully merged into the main line through the switch and headed west, and after about three or four kilometers of travel, Xie Tian saw the rear of a train parked on the railway line a few kilometers ahead, and it could be seen from the rear that it was a freight train.

Let Lao Cheng begin to slow down gradually, Lao Cheng soon found the train blocking the railway line in front of him, began to slow down slowly when approaching, and stopped less than 100 meters away from the rear of the front car, Xie Tian said: "Let's go down and check, if this train has the materials we need, pull it back to the power plant." ”

Lao Cheng nodded and said, "I also have to thoroughly check if there are any zombies." ”

Xie Tian smiled: "This problem is not big, since it is a freight train, at most the driver will become a zombie." ”

Xie Tian instructed the soldiers who accompanied him to check their weapons and equipment, and then everyone got out of the train and walked west along another railway line, this train was very long, there were twelve boxcars behind it, and it was impossible to see what was inside, and further on, there were some oil tank cars, about twenty or so, marked with firewood, gasoline and kerosene.

Xie Xiaofei said excitedly: "Brother Xie, with so much oil, we don't have to worry about it in the future!" ”

"I'm even more worried." Xie Tian sneered, scratched his head, and said: "We don't have much demand for gasoline now, the only big consumption is diesel, let's just that main generator set, even if it is full horsepower, the consumption of diesel will not be too large, the most terrible thing is that there is so much fuel, at least a few hundred tons, where to put it back is a problem, slowly consumed, I don't know when to use it." ”

"There's a container up ahead." Lao Cheng pointed to a flatbed truck ahead, and a large container was fixed on each flatbed.

"I don't know what's in it." Xie Tian said, "If only there was food." ”

"Enough." Lao Cheng said: "Generally, there are special trains for transporting grain, and a group like this is distributed at a glance, and there are all kinds of materials, and small batches of grain are generally not transported by rail, most of them are transported by road, otherwise the railway is too troublesome." ”

Xie Tian sighed a little disappointed, originally thought that even if he could find a wagon of grain, it would be sent, after all, a wagon of a wagon is at least dozens of tons, but according to the meaning of Lao Cheng's words, if you want to find food on the railway, you can either find a super large amount in one go, a small amount of basic don't think, dozens of tons of grain, a truck can be easily pulled away, and you can pull it wherever you want, so that no one will choose to use the railway to turn around, and finally it will be converted to road transportation, which is too troublesome.

Further on, basically all the top of the open open car, the materials contained in it are also different, some are loaded with steel, some are loaded with large logs, Xie Tian counted all the way, the whole train has 58 wagons, when everyone walked to the front, Lao Cheng pointed to the locomotive and said: "This is an electric locomotive is useless, but we still have to drag it back, can't stay here to block the road." ”

"I'll go up and take a look." Xie Tian climbed the ladder at the front of the car, looked inside the window, a zombie in the cab who was in a deep sleep woke up and quickly climbed up, Xie Tian took out a pistol and blasted the other party's head through the window, and then took a closer look inside, and found that there was still a corpse with only a skeleton left.

"There are zombies?" Seeing Xie Tian put away his gun and jumped down, Xie Xiaofei hurriedly asked.

"Well, just a normal zombie." Xie Tian said casually: "There is also a corpse that has been gnawed clean." ”

Lao Cheng nodded and said: "Then it's okay, there are only two drivers on the train, there will be no other zombies, let's go back, I'll pick up the front of the car with this car, as for what's in these containers and caravans, we can only wait for us to pull back and then take a slow look." ”

Xie Tian didn't have any objections, after all, there was only one diesel locomotive that could be used, and the road ahead was blocked by this freight train, so don't want to move forward if you don't tow this car back, and then, more than ten people turned around and walked back.

After Lao Cheng got into the locomotive cab, he started the locomotive and moved slowly until it docked with the parking space of the car in front. ”

After everyone boarded the front of the car, Lao Zheng came to the cab in the opposite direction, ready to drive the train back in the opposite direction.

Xie Tian couldn't help but sigh: "The end of the world is the end of the world, everything is used to pick up, this time I simply picked up a train and went back"

Xie Xiaofei said with a smile: "Brother Xie, we just don't have the talent to fly planes, otherwise it wouldn't be a problem to pick up a few planes." ”

After the train was hung on dozens of wagons, the speed of the start was significantly slower, the train took half a day to raise the speed of the train, the road conditions when it came were already clear, the speed of the old Cheng no longer deliberately slowed down, the train rushed back at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, and half an hour later it was already close to the railway bridge behind the power plant.

The train began to slow down, slowly passed the railway bridge, and continued to drive slowly to the marshalling yard behind the coal yard with the usual surname, the people in the safety zone found that the locomotive that had not been out for a long time dragged back a train, and they all came up to see the excitement, and more than 1,000 people surrounded the marshalling yard at once.

Xie Tian didn't have much hope for the supplies of this freight train, after all, his main goal was to dredge the railway line and go to the grain depot in Xinyu, this train was just a burden that could only be dragged back, the steel and wood on it were useless, there was too much steel in the entire power plant, and the wood could only be used to burn the furnace, and compared with the mountains of more than 100,000 tons of coal, these woods were really not enough.

Only those caravans still have some hope, after all, they don't know what is inside, only one by one open, to determine whether there will be an unexpected surprise, the soldiers rushed to the scene, those who were watching the lively refugees forcibly stopped twenty meters away, and then, Xie Tian took a few young adults, and began to check from the caravan at the back of the train.

The boxcar is sealed, with sliding gates on both sides, on which only a railway-specific lock is hung on it, which can be broken with a hammer head.

Xie Tian in front of more than 1,000 people, first smashed the lock of the last section of the boxcar, and then as the door opened, it was filled with boxes sealed with wooden strips, Xie Tian opened it, and found that the box was separated by stuffing all kinds of glassware, among which the glass was the most, and it looked very exquisite, and it looked like it should be a very high-end thing if it was placed in ordinary times.

Looking at it, it is full of this kind of box, it seems that this is a whole carriage of glass products, in the last days, it is really useless, the only use is to fall on the ground can be heard.

Xie Tian threw one of the boxes to Xie Xiaofei below, Xie Xiaofei took it and opened it in public below, and when everyone found out that it contained glasses, they couldn't help but let out a sigh of disappointment.

After thanking the day, he went straight to the second boxcar, and when he opened it, a strong chemical smell came to his face, which was filled with white woven bags, and the bags were neatly stacked together, looking very similar to rice bags.

"Food !!" The survivors watching from a distance didn't know who it was and roared excitedly.

More than 1,000 people roared excitedly, one by one, Xie Tian jumped out of the car, pulled a black line on his face, and yelled very unhappily: "Who the said it was food?" Come on, let's move back and eat! It's all urea! ”

After a while, more than 1,000 people were speechless, and then, Xie Tian threw a bag of urea from the car, and then jumped down and cut the woven bag with a dagger. Is it used for farming?

"It's still urea."

"Urea again."

Xie Tian was a little depressed, and drove eight rows of boxcars in a row, all of which were filled with agricultural urea, and Xie Tian even lost the motivation to continue driving, but when he drove to the tenth boxcar, he finally made a good discovery.

The vehicle is still full of boxes sealed with wooden strips, but the words "Hong Kong Dingxin Import and Export Company" can be seen on each box, Xie Tian opened one of the boxes, and found that there were twelve bottles of Royal Salute whiskey, thinking that the things found this time are still somewhat useful, they are actually some good foreign wines, and it is estimated that the whole vehicle was sent to the hands of a city agent.

Xie Tian beckoned some soldiers to help, and began to move all the boxes of wine below, to Xie Tian's disbelief, it was all high-end foreign wines, not only whiskey, vodka, tequila, but also Baileys, fruit wine, champagne and high-end red wine, all red wine is of French origin, and even the famous Lafite, a whole car counted, there are more than 7,000 cases of various wines.

It happened that Xie Yufei was also here, so Xie Tian beckoned her over and said, "Yufei, you take ten soldiers and use a pickup truck to bring all these drinks back." ”

Xie Yufei looked at so many wines, and said with some embarrassment: "Brother Xie, where to put so much wine?" ”

Xie Tian said with a smile: "All the rooms on the first floor of the general control building are at your disposal, and you can use whichever one you want." ”

Xie Yufei nodded and asked, "Then you don't have to bring these ureas back, right?" ”

"What are you doing with it" Xie Tian said embarrassedly, "These urea are left in the car, and they may be useful in the future." ”

"Okay." Xie Yufei hurriedly asked ten soldiers to help, one of them drove the pickup truck over, and the rest began to load the car.

There are still two boxcars left that have not been opened, Xie Tianxin said: Until now, there is barely some use for a cart of wine, and the remaining two carriages will try to have something useful, and it will not be so that you can pick up a train, but empty joy.
