Chapter 213: Sweeping Moves
New York, USA, a ruined post-apocalyptic scene on Manhattan Island, morning.
Three military helicopter gunships whizzed over United Nations Headquarters, from west to east, towards eastern New York.
"Hey, help us, here!"
"Ahh We're here, do you see? Over here! ”
Dada......
On the roof of the library, when Tang Ji and the others climbed up, the gunship just passed over, and everyone shouted for help, and even shot to attract the attention of the gunship, but the three gunships did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and flew away directly.
"Please...... How so! Christine put down her waving hand in frustration, and let out a grumbling of dissatisfaction.
"They can't save everyone!" Tang Ji sighed, looked at the sea of zombies below the building, and seemed to understand a sentence, but inevitably, he was also a little lost, his loss was not that the gunship did not come to save people, but that the helicopter that flew over was not what he expected to see.
"You can't save everyone, you can save me, at least you can get us out of here." Christine muttered disapprehended.
"We're certainly not the first survivors to call for help from them, and if they're flying in from the middle, they're probably going to see hundreds of thousands of survivors calling for help along the way, and they can't save them, so they won't be able to save them...... Okay, let's go back and pack our things and get ready to go. Don Guy touched Christine's hair, pinched Christine's shoulder, and turned to walk towards the hole.
Because there are a lot of materials that need to be transported, the preparation time is also very long, mainly to take out the contents of the particularly heavy box and pack them separately, the way to transport the materials is very simple, you only need to hang the box with a hook on the rope connected to the library on the 20th floor of the secretariat building, and then tie another rope to the box, stand on the 20th floor of the mountain, pull the second rope, the box will be dragged, and slide up the first rope.
All supplies can be transported in this way, so items that are too heavy are transported separately to prevent the rope from being overwhelmed.
The method is simple, but the process is very long, there are too many things, Tang Ji and the others not only plan to transport the boxes and the contents of the boxes left by Hillary, but also the things in Hillary's room, as long as they can move, they will not let go, even the two large cabinets of clothes in Hillary.
An hour later, on the roof of the library, Jason stood inside the entrance of the cave, took the big burden handed over by the people inside, and stuffed out the hole, the burden was made of sheets, and there should be some clothes and other things in it, Don Ji stood next to the entrance of the cave, picked up the bag, turned around and walked to the rope not far away, the hook on it with a rope had slid down the rope, Tang Ji untied the rope from the hook, tied it to the baggage, and then used the hook to pierce the burden and hang it, stood up straight and waved his hand to the 20th floor of the Secretariat Building.
Upstairs opposite, John, Christine, Carey, and Hanny stood by the window, and after getting Tang Ji's signal, they quickly pulled their baggage up.
Tang Ji breathed a sigh of relief, turned to look at Monica and Laura, who were in charge of guarding on the side, then lowered his head and walked to the entrance of the cave to get something.
From the beginning of transporting things, it has been Laura and Monica who are in charge of guarding, Laura's marksmanship is second only to Monica and Jon here, and Monica is the best marksman here, at this time Laura is holding two shotguns in her hands, while Monica is holding a sniper rifle.
The German HKPSG1 sniper rifle, known as the world's most accurate sniper rifle, has a caliber of 7.62 mm, a gun length of 1208 mm, a weight of 8.1 kg, an effective range of 800 meters, and a magazine capacity of 20 rounds.
It is also a good thing that Hillary Clinton hid under the bed, this gun is widely praised for its excellent surname, suitable for police use, but because of the high price and the bulky body of the gun, throwing too far and other problems, it is not popular, and the price of this gun is as high as $12,000 before the end of the world.
It is said that this gun is extremely rare in the United States, few law enforcement agencies will use this gun as a weapon, and the number of HKPSG1 in the entire United States is only a few hundred, and most of them are owned by private collectors, so even in the pre-apocalyptic American gun stores, it is difficult to see this kind of gun, and I don't know where Hillary got it.
The two people standing on the roof guard, Laura is responsible for the close-range attack, that is, when a zombie dog jumps on the roof, she will shoot, and Monica is responsible for the long-distance attack, and her main role with a sniper rifle is to snipe the zombie dog after discovering it.
She did, and half an hour ago she had managed to snipe a zombie dog mixed in with a humanoid zombie.
Two hours later, Tang Ji walked down the hole, entered the room and took a serious turn, looked carefully, things were moved very thoroughly, even the murals on the wall were not let go, the surrounding walls were bare, carpets, sofas and chairs were also moved, even the big bed was dismantled and moved, and now only the big sofa, the big glass coffee table, and several large and small cabinets were left untouched, because it was really difficult to move.
Don Ji walked into the bathroom, the mirror on the wall had disappeared, had been cut into small pieces and transported to the secretariat building, and now the bathroom was quite empty, except for the sink and bathtub.
Don Ji walked over to the sink and turned on the faucet.
Whoa! The faucet was splashing.
Hillary's room is 24 hours a day water and power supply, even if there was a disaster yesterday, the water supply and power supply has not stopped, the power supply comes from two sides, on the one hand, the battery, Hillary's room, when everyone moved the cabinet, it was found that there was a cabinet with a full battery of electricity, it is estimated that it is for emergency use, on the other hand, the electricity from the entire library's power reserves, the equipment for reserving electricity is not in Hillary's room, and the power line extends to the outside of the room.
The water supply in Hillary's room came from the water tank, and Don Ji had found the location of the water tank, which was in the mezzanine between the ceiling of the room and the roof of the library, a metal water tank in the shape of a cylinder, very large, with a capacity of twelve tons marked on the outside, and Tang Ji had seen that there was at least half a tank of water in it.
Although the facilities and water tanks of the reserve power cannot be transferred, it does not prevent Tang Ji and others from using water and electricity, and the electricity can be connected to Hillary's room and connected to the secretariat building, the water is more troublesome, because of the problem of water pressure, the floor of the secretariat building is too high, and the water pipe connection cannot be supplied, but this is also very indifferent, you can go down and take some up if you don't have water to drink, as for the bath, it is a little too luxurious, a few tons of water sounds a lot, but you use the bath every day, It won't take long at all.
………………
An hour later, on the 20th floor of the Secretariat Building, several people gathered together and walked around, and there was a tinkling sound, which was very lively.
Although there is no room outside Ai Wen's room on the twentieth floor, the other rooms are seriously damaged, there are no windows, and some of the walls that have been blown up have collapsed, but it does not prevent Tang Ji and others from living here, they want people, tools and tools, and it is not very difficult to repair some rooms.
In this hour's time, everyone first quickly cleaned the 20th floor, mainly to clean out the broken glass and some corpses, and then everyone chose an office similar to a suite, a total of four rooms, after entering from the door, is an office area of about 50 square meters, and on the right side of this office area, there are two rooms of the same size connected, and on the left side of the office area is a long room, which is the structure of the entire office, with a total area of more than 100 square meters.
This office is located diagonally opposite Aiwen's room, only seven or eight meters apart, and then everyone's job is to clean up the office as a whole, all the burned things are thrown out along the windows, the room is completely emptied, and those black marks are wiped off as much as possible, so that the whole office is new, and then everyone will also use most of the windows in the room to build bricks, bricks naturally come from other rooms in the building, and when the wall is smashed, there will naturally be bricks, and the soil used for bonding also comes from the smashed wallAs long as the water is re-blended, it can be used naturally.
I have to say that this is not a small project, and it will take about two to three days for everyone to fully complete it, but Don Guy thinks that it is all worth it, although he is not claustrophobic, but he does not like to nest in a small space and wait for death, Hillary's room is almost sealed, the only exit is still blown out, and from that exit you may also encounter zombie dogs, if you encounter an emergency, or escape almost, it is likely to be missed.
Upstairs is different, there is no threat of zombies, the activity space is very large, the view is wide, there is enough room for contingency when encountering anything, and even better, everyone has a private space, there is nothing better than this.
"Hi there!"
Just when everyone was busy, Ai Wen suddenly appeared in the corridor, because the room had no windows, so he saw the scene in the room where everyone was cleaning up very clearly, he smiled in surprise and greeted the people who were busy in the room, he probably didn't expect so many people to come here, because he had already seen Tang Ji, and Tang Ji was in the room, so he knew that these people were with Tang Ji.
"This is my brother Aven!" Hanny, who had been helping everyone busy, ran to Aven's side, put one arm around Aven's neck and strangled him hard, and introduced to everyone that she had introduced to Don Ji and Ba Song, but now there were more people, so she needed to introduce them again.
"Hey, Aven!" The busy crowd raised their heads and greeted Evan in a neat tone, and immediately lowered their heads and began to work, they had seen Evan not long ago, but Evan was sleeping at that time, so they didn't pay much attention to Evan now.
Tang Ji was very interested in Aiwen, he held a small hammer in his hand, and he had just been smashing the burning scorched objects on the ground that had been sticking to the ground after burning, and at this time he straightened up and walked towards Aiwen.
Evan looked very thin, with a hunched back, a scruffy beard and messy hair, and the clothes on his body were not very clean, it looked like he hadn't changed for a long time, he was a little shorter than Tanji, and the tall Hanny put his arms around his neck, obviously taller than him, and strangled him hard around his neck, looking like he was often bullied like this.
But there was no annoyance or embarrassment on Aivan's face, probably because of his surname, he seemed very honest.
"Hello, Donji!" Tang Ji walked up to Evan and held out his hand to Evan .
"Hello!" Ai Wen cupped his eyes and reached out to shake Tang Ji's hand.
"You talk, I'm busy!" Hanny let go of Aven, greeted her, and turned to walk inside the house.
"What are you? Planning to stay here? Evan walked to Tang Ji's side, faced the room he was cleaning up, looked inside, raised his finger and asked, then turned to look at Tang Ji.
"Uh-huh!" Tang Ji nodded in response.
"It's going to be a lot of trouble!" Evan said casually.
"Yes, it will take two or three days to get it done, we have to close those windows, otherwise we will encounter ...... when it rains and winds," Donji said as he pointed to the room, moving around.
Ai Wen is the kind of person who feels very good at talking, he is not familiar with the people he just met, but he is definitely not cold, he will have a polite smile on the corner of his mouth when he speaks, and he speaks very quickly, which makes people feel that he is the kind of person who will do things vigorously.
Evan interrupted Don Ji.
"Plugging the windows?" Ai Wen asked rhetorically, paused and said, "What to use, it looks very difficult, and there doesn't seem to be anything available here." ”
"With bricks, let's tear down the walls of some other rooms and block them completely." Tang Ji explained.
"Isn't there no light? The room inside had only one window, and when it was blocked, it was completely dark. Evan smiled, looked at Tang Ji with a slight frown, and said quickly.
"No, we're going to leave some holes when we're building windows, very small openings, we're going to leave many, very small openings, to ventilate and get some light, and the room will be dark, but it's definitely not completely devoid of light!" Tang Ji shook his head slightly and explained with a smile.
"Oh, that's it!" Ai Wen showed a look of understanding, and after a pause, he showed a hesitant look.
"What's wrong?" Tang Ji saw something, pointed at Aiwen's face, and said with a smile: "The face is weird." ”
"It's nothing, hmm......" Ai Wen pursed his lips, hesitated again, looked at Tang Ji and said, "I want to say, do you want me to help?" ”
"Of course, you are very welcome." Tang Ji didn't refuse, tilted his head, and said with a smile.
"It's not...... I didn't mean that! Ai Wen felt that Tang Ji seemed to have misunderstood, waved his hand at Tang Ji, paused, and said, "Actually, I want to ask you, do you need some glass?" If you have glass, you don't need to leave holes in the wall, and the room will be well lit...... You know, Kristen is my sister's best friend, and since you're all in this together, I think I can help you. The expression on Aven's face was a little unnatural, maybe he thought that what he said was a little strange, but Tang Ji could feel that he was a very enthusiastic person and loved his sister Hanny very much.
"Thank you, if there is, of course." Tang Ji raised his eyebrows and responded with a smile.
"Where, I can ask someone to move with you." Tang Ji asked with a smile again, he suddenly found that he liked this big boy named Ai Wen a little, it felt very sincere, this was his first impression of Tang Ji, according to Hanny, her brother Ai Wen is only twenty-two years old this year, but because his life is too sloppy and he often stays up late, he looks a few years older.
"No...... I have a few pieces of glass, too little to need, but I can make some for you. Ai Wen raised his eyes and said quickly.
"You do?" Tang Ji immediately frowned and smiled strangely.
"When my brother was twelve years old, he made a new glass out of a broken glass, and he broke the glass on purpose, and the last piece of glass was ugly......," the girl's voice suddenly appeared.
Don Ji and Evan turned their heads to see Hanny standing by the door with a shovel.
As Hanni spoke, seeing that Evan had become expressionless, he looked at himself with a faint gaze, and immediately changed his words and said, "Of course, my brother's current glass-making skills are very good, and my brother is a genius, well, a genius!" Hanni said to Don Ji and Evan with a serious and sure expression, and gave a thumbs up to Evan again, and seeing that Evan showed no signs of improvement, he silently turned around and walked back to the room.
She knew that Evan didn't like her jokes about his past, but she couldn't help it, but she knew that Evan wouldn't really be mad at him.
"You know...... My sister is a little crazy......" Evan turned to Tang Ji and showed a somewhat embarrassed smile and pointed to the room.
"Uh-huh, I can see it." Tang Ji nodded in agreement and said. (To be continued.) )
