Fortunately, the power plant is really big enough, you can stack up all the materials that are temporarily useless, urea is such a thing, thank God or decided to keep, after all, if there is a chance to start resuming farming, then these fertilizers will have the opportunity to be used, as for those containers, all the useless ones are carried down by cranes, and then neatly placed under the already vacant coal storage greenhouse, and the containers containing supplies, cigarettes, and clothes are transported to a corner in the courtyard of the general control building. So there's no need to move these things around the building.

Cigarettes, dry goods and tea were given to the survivors for free, and although giving them free of charge would make the other party more obedient, it could not give too much, causing the other party's laziness and dependence.

At lunchtime, Xie Tian specially asked the person in charge of cooking to make some more dishes, the newly obtained dry goods are good to cook, cold kelp, jellyfish, mushroom fungus can be fried casually, and seaweed can be used to cook soup, although there are no eggs, but the taste is also good, plus some roast chicken and duck food, canned vegetables and fruits, this meal is very rich, Xie Tian also specially invited Lao Cheng to join us, everyone sat in the conference room while eating and chatting.

The matter of the Xinyu Grain Depot, even Zhao Ziye, Song Hui, Xie Xiaofei, the most core people, have never heard of it, this matter was only discussed privately by Lao Cheng and Xie Tian in person, so when the two of them told everyone about this plan, it can be imagined how excited everyone was, and almost everyone was ecstatic.

Liu Mu opened his mouth and said: "Xiao Xie, if we can knock down the Xinyu Grain Depot and dredge this railway line, then the Xinyu Depot will be our grain base, and the safety zone will no longer have to worry about food." ”

Xie Tian nodded and said: "I also think so, if we can solve the problem of eating, we can focus more energy on the enhancement of our own entities, such as recruiting more troops and absorbing more survivors as labor, so at present, the most important thing is to open up this railway line, and then see what the situation of the new surplus grain depot is and how much grain reserves there are." ”

Xie Yufei said: "If once this railway line is opened and the situation of the new surplus grain depot is indeed optimistic, we will start to build a grain storage center on the coal yard, a large amount of grain, how to take care of it is also a problem, if you want to better grasp these survivors, the materials can only enter their mouths, but not into their hands." ”

"That's right!" Xie Tian said approvingly: "After having a large number of materials, for these survivors, it is a unified food supply, we have opened the canteen, and then there is a group of special cooks to be responsible for the food of all the survivors, the daily supply is three meals, and then price other non-food materials, their labor can only get a small amount of rice stamps in addition to three full meals, and then, these rice stamps will be used in exchange for other materials, such as tobacco and alcohol, supplies, clothing, etc., in this way, it is more conducive to control." ”

Subsequently, Xie Tian said: "If a large amount of food is obtained, the care of the materials can be solved by the army, I believe that after they are fed, they will not take the risk of stealing the supplies, and the rest, just take a little precautions, but this is all a later story, and getting the food first is the top priority!" ”

Preparing to enter the Zhejiang-Jiangxi line again, Xie Tian thought about bringing more people, first, if the train enters a place with more zombies, it will attract a large number of zombies, and second, if you can rush to Xinyu in one go, without a large number of manpower and firepower support, it is impossible to bring back any materials from Xinyu.

Xie Tian instructed Lao Cheng to disassemble the entire train, disassemble all the fuel tankers, and transport them to the rear of the marshalling yard, and then weave four boxcars and four flat cars together, so that the sealed all-steel boxcars can be used to carry people and store materials, and the flatbed trucks can directly drive the excavator and infantry chariot up, an anti-aircraft machine gun, a machine gun, which can provide strong fire support, so that basically as long as people do not get off the car, there will be no danger, even if it is a failure, you can also retreat.

Subsequently, Xie Tian ordered people to find two long iron plates, put them on a flat car, and the infantry chariot and excavator each drove to a flat car, and then fixed it slightly, and then, Xie Tian transferred a hundred soldiers, and from the more than 1,000 people who entered the new security zone, requisitioned fifty personnel who could use firearms, and a hundred young and strong laborers with strong strength, in addition, Xie Tian also brought Zhao Ziye, with her, he will understand the surrounding environment more clearly.

After everything was ready, Lao Cheng started the locomotive, a locomotive, eight vehicles, this small group of trains drove out of the power plant again, as soon as the railway bridge began to accelerate, the train soon entered the trunk line, towards the direction of the camphor tree, after the morning to pick up the train that bend, and then the road in front of him is very smooth, Lao Zheng explained, on the current train density on the railway line, the two cars are at least a few kilometers apart, and not at all times to maintain a few kilometers of a train of intensity, if we are lucky, It is possible that you will not be able to touch a train from here to the camphor tree. ”

A few minutes after Lao Cheng finished speaking, the tail of a passenger train appeared in the distance.

"Passenger car" Xie Tian frowned, what supplies can be in the passenger car? At most, a little rice and noodles in the dining car, some drinking water and instant noodles in the cart, this material should be put on hold when he was still in Yangcheng, it is simply a treasure, but if it is put now, it is not enough to even stuff the teeth, and the passenger train, there are zombies in it, and the surname is even greater.

Lao Cheng had already begun to slow down, and Xie Tian said, "Lao Cheng, you can't pull this train back too, right?" ”

Lao Cheng smiled bitterly and said: "The train is the most troublesome point, we can't turn around, we can't change directions, if we want to move forward, we must leave this car behind, but if we want to leave it behind, we must drag it to a place with marshalling ability, and then disassemble it there." ”

Lao Cheng hesitated for a moment and said: "Then push the cart and go forward, anyway, this is the main line of the railway, even if we encounter a turnout, as long as the fork is in a closed state, we can go straight, if it is open, then this train will enter the fork before us, in this case, push it down on the fork, and then after dismantling, let's go back, and then close the open fork, so that we can continue to go straight and get rid of it." ”

Xie Tian nodded, Lao Cheng is professional in matters on the railway, and this matter can only be left to him with confidence and boldness.

After Lao Cheng got his approval, he started the locomotive slowly, and then docked the front of the locomotive with the rear of the front car, and then got off the car to connect the air duct.

Xie Tian asked with some confusion: "Can you just push it away?" What are you doing with that thing? ”

"No, no, no." Lao Cheng said: "If you don't connect the air duct, there is no wind pressure, the whole train will have no braking ability, think about it, when such a long train can only rely on our locomotive to brake, when will it stop?" ”

Xie Tian nodded, and then asked in a low voice in Zhao Ziye's ear, "What is the current situation in the car in front?" ”

Zhao Ziye closed his eyes slightly, and then said to Xie Tian: "There are a lot of zombies in the car, at least two E1, and there seems to be one E2." ”

As he was talking, a large number of zombies suddenly poured out from both sides of the train in front of him, and among the corpses, one of the E2 rushed straight to the front of the car, reached the left side of the cab, jumped up the window, and pounded the heavy door with a hideous expression.

"Start!" Xie Tian saw that Lao Cheng was a little confused, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let the train start!" ”

"But the air duct" Lao Cheng didn't speak, Xie Tianyi pushed the handle and said: "Fuck the air duct, get rid of these zombies first!" ”

The front car of the locomotive drove slowly, and the E2 lay on the window and kept slamming the door, the train had already left, and the other zombies were swept under the wheels, but this E2 was unrelenting and endless.

Xie Tian and Lao Cheng switched positions, then opened the door lock, concentrated all the strength of his body into both hands, and suddenly pushed the car door, boom, the car door quickly popped open, E2 lying on the window grabbed the steel bar outside the window with one hand, and the other hand also wanted to slam the door with his fist, but he didn't grasp it steadily, and was suddenly bounced out by the huge force, and fell to the ground with a bang.

By the time E2 got up and wanted to catch up, the front of the car had already driven far away, and there were several flat cars parallel to E2!

The excavator quickly adjusted its direction, and the anti-aircraft machine gunner had already aimed his gun at the E2, and then fired several shots in succession, and the bullets made several large holes in E2's body, and the last shot exploded his head very accurately, and then the gunfire stopped.

Lao Zheng touched his left chest cavity and said with palpitations: "What a big guy, I'm scared to death." ”

Xie Tian said lightly: "It's okay, he can't attack him, and even if he does, he won't be afraid of him." ”

Lao Cheng said with some concern: "If there is no fork in the road ahead, let's push the car forward like this, it will be difficult to see the road conditions in front, in case we rear-end with other vehicles, it will be a big trouble." ”

"Slow down." Xie Tian said: "Move slowly, and it won't be a big deal to bump into it." ”

Lao Cheng sighed and said: "I still think this road is too simple, we haven't crossed the camphor tree yet, and after the camphor tree, it is only half of the walk, if it is really a train every ten kilometers, it will be enough for us to be busy." ”

As he was talking, Lao Cheng excitedly pointed to the front of the car that had begun to turn, and said, "Look, there is a fork in the road!" The car in front of you has already entered the fork in the road! ”

Xie Tian looked at it, and sure enough, after the car in front drove into the fork in the road, it entered a big curve, and everyone was rejoicing, and Lao Cheng suddenly said: "Not good!" ”

"What's wrong?" Xie Tian asked in surprise.

Lao Cheng pointed to the direction of the front of the car that had been turned, and said, "Look at the front of the car!" ”

Xie Tian looked at it, shocked, it turned out that on the track in front of the front car, there was a heavy truck full of stones, the heavy truck was across the rails, Lao Zheng hurriedly began to slow down, and the wheels began to make a harsh metal friction sound, but because the front dozen cars could not brake, the speed was not relieved at all, as if the front dozen cars were forcibly dragging this locomotive forward by their usual surname.

Lao Cheng said in a panic: "If you don't hurry up and get out of the car in front, we will be in danger!" ”

Xie Tian saw that the heavy truck was getting closer and closer, if it hit it this time, the huge habitual surname would not be able to knock it away even if it knocked the car down, if it caused the front car to derail, then the danger would be great, this locomotive is the key to Xie Tian to enter Xinyu, with it, in order to talk about the problem of food.

Immediately, Xie Tian pushed the car door, climbed to the roof, and then climbed down directly from the front of the locomotive, the hook is under his feet, if he can take off the coupler, his locomotive can brake well, let the front car rely on the usual surname to rush forward.

But the problem at the moment is a little tricky, the power carried by the coupler is great, the front dozen cars have no brakes, that is to say, their strength is significantly greater than the brake of the locomotive, in this way, the most strenuous coupler of the whole train is the front end of the locomotive, even if the power is great, but more than a dozen carriages, more than 1,000 tons of huge strength are concentrated here, they simply can not get rid of the coupler.

Xie Tian yelled at Lao Cheng through the glass: "Speed up!" ”

Lao Cheng was stunned, and then immediately reacted, as long as he stopped braking and began to accelerate the vehicle, then the strength of the coupler will be relieved in an instant, and then, Xie Tian can pull out the hook pin in the coupler at that critical moment, as long as Xie Tian pulls out the hook pin, the locomotive and the front car can be disengaged, and then Lao Cheng brakes again, you can stop the car very effectively.

After Lao Cheng figured out this link, he hurriedly lifted the emergency braking, and then accelerated suddenly, and the diesel engine immediately began to roar violently, and then, Xie Tian suddenly felt that the hook pin in his hand suddenly became much lighter, and with a fierce force, the hook pin has been pulled out, and then, Lao Cheng immediately lifted the brake emergency braking, and the distance from the car in front began to gradually widen, involving the habit of continuing to drive, and it didn't take long for it to crash into the heavily loaded heavy truck, and several carriages derailed. The vehicle that had not derailed was also tilted with the tremendous force of the twisting.

At this time, Lao Cheng controlled the locomotive to be slower and slower, and finally stopped safely, and then, Xie Tian climbed back into the cab, Lao Cheng began to reverse, reversing the vehicle out of the fork, and there was a thrilling scene just now that everyone in the locomotive pinched a cold sweat, fortunately, there was no danger!

Immediately, Xie Tian got off the train with Lao Cheng, closed the switch as quickly as possible, and finally got a train blocking the way forward.
