"How is the food and water distributed?" Lin Chuan continued to ask.
"Distribute it every morning according to the head."
"We must implement a rationing system according to the amount of labor, so that those who are willing to contribute can eat a little more, and those who do not want to pay will only have the most basic food and water."
Everyone nodded, this is also the most basic principle that should be established, in fact, it should have been done in this way a long time ago.
"Do you have pen and paper?" Lin Chuan asked. "We're going to draw a picture."
"I'll do it." Jiang Ming walked out. "Engineering drafting was one of the best courses I learned."
Li Mingfeng held a flashlight, and Jiang Ming drew the location of the underground fortifications and the surrounding buildings on a box. There are some places he can't remember, but everyone has been here these days, and with constant memories and additions, this drawing has gradually become perfect.
"We're going to dig to the Zhiyuan Building." Lin Chuan struggled to remember that during the day, in order to eliminate the giant dog, he had carefully observed the surrounding buildings. "It was the closest to us, less than twenty meters. It is surrounded by two office buildings, and behind it is the Jinjiang community, and we have added a lot of activity space by digging this road. ”
"Will we dig the drain and flood us all here?" A middle-aged man asked. He introduced himself as Deng Wei and was the property director of Jinjiang Community.
"When we dig, we should pay attention to whether there is water seepage, and take the excavated construction waste from the hole to build a drainage ditch and divert the water to the sewer." Another said. "Our area just carried out the renovation of the drainage pipe network last year, and there should be no problem that zài water cannot be discharged."
"Does anyone remember where the pipes are going?" Lin Chuan asked.
Many of them have lived on this road for ten years, and although they can't remember the exact location and depth, everyone's memories corroborated and pieced together, and they also came up with a drawing that was roughly guaranteed to be correct. The final excavation route was to start two meters from the door and dig a slope about 15 meters long vertically to the north that gradually ascended. The middle is likely to hit the outer wall of the cable trench and the sewer, if it is arc-shaped, it is the sewer, you need to bypass it from below, if it is square, it should be the cable trench, then break a channel, borrow the cable trench to find a safe exit. If you don't run into these pipes all the time - although it is almost impossible - dig all the way to the bottom of the Zhiyuan Building.
"If there is a pVc pipe, it should be a communication pipe or a cable pipe, and the gas pipe and water pipe are steel pipes, and there is a protective layer like asphalt on the outside." A man said. He is an old merchant on this street, and according to his own words, he has been watching this road be excavated again and again, and it is no longer ripe.
Lin Chuan decided to start work immediately, and Lu Guangping brought the best tools he could find—two sets of electric drills, nine hammers of various sizes, fifty-seven all-steel crowbars, five small hacksaws, hundreds of saw blades, and two wrecking pliers.
"Because many shops and houses have to be pried open, I have found a lot of these things, but I didn't think about other tools, and I never thought that I would use tools to break the wall." Lu Guangping said with some annoyance.
"It's a lot better than I thought!" Lin Chuan was very happy. "I thought I really had to dig a little bit by hand."
Wang Qinian consciously started another motor, connected a power supply, and brought a few lamps to illuminate the construction area, and it was no longer the time to save fuel.
A hardware store owner and a light shop installer began to drill holes in the painted area with electric drills, and several young men with crowbars and wrecking pliers waited nearby. The drill can only make as many openings as possible in the concrete wall, and such a fortification will inevitably have dense steel mesh in the concrete, and the real work will be done with hammers and crowbars.
Everyone stared at the opening painted on the wall.
One meter tall and sixty centimeters wide, just enough for a man to walk bent over.
The drill drills holes along the drawn white lines, making a screeching noise. With each few holes, they step aside to allow the drill bit to cool down, while the man with the crowbar slashes hard to chisel down a block of concrete where the hole was made.
Dust was everywhere. But no one complained, because there was hope for all of them to survive.
But their enthusiasm gradually faded, and half an hour later, it was only a hole the size of a television set carved into the wall, no more than ten centimeters deep, and dense steel bars were already exposed behind it, which looked desperate.
Lin Chuan saw that this was not the solution, so he divided all the people who were willing to participate in the labor into ten groups, leaving only two groups of people to work at a time, and let those who did not have their turn go to sleep.
"Every effort has to be spent on making holes! So that we can live. He said to those who said they couldn't sleep. For others, even if you can't help, please rest as much as possible and reduce your consumption of food and water. ”
There may be people who are dissatisfied with his policy, but under the eagerness of most people to survive**, no one has come out to oppose his orders.
"You go to sleep, too." Li Mingfeng said. He took a team of people who were responsible for security and maintaining order, and did not join the construction. "I can't sleep, just think about what you said."

When Lin Chuan woke up, it was just dawn, he raised his head, and now the hole had been dug up, and it looked very deep, but it also meant that the working surface had become smaller and less efficient.
"How's it going?" He walked to the side of the construction area, and it had already been replaced by Wang Qinian directing the construction.
"After digging less than 30 centimeters, the drill bit has broken three times, all of which were accidentally broken by hitting the steel bar." Wang Qinian still looked worried. "It's too tiring to squat and work in it, but you can't dig a hole in half a day without an electric drill."
"We have enough people to rotate." Lin Chuan said. "This layer of concrete is the hardest, just open it, and the back will be easy to do."
Lu Guangping and the people in charge of the warehouse were putting food and water in the crowd, and Lin Chuan saw that many old people only needed half of the ration.
"What's going on?" He asked, as he walked through the crowd.
"They said that as long as there was a little bit of life that could sustain life, they would not ask for more." Lu Guangping replied.
"We don't have a long time to live, and we can't help much, so we don't need to eat so much." An old man sitting next to him said. "Those lads should be allowed to eat a little more, eat a little more to have the strength to work!"
Lin Chuan carefully looked at the expressions on their faces, and after making sure that their words were sincere and not counter-talking, he bowed deeply to them.
"Is it still raining?" He walked quickly to the door, afraid that he would cry.
"It's still down." At this time, it was already a tank on duty. "Looks like it's not going to stop today."
"Monsters out there?"
"Well, four mice, a giant cat just walked away ten minutes ago." Tank replied as he cleared a pistol. "Thirty minutes ago it was two mutant sheep, and last night there was a big thing that had been outside, and I couldn't see what it was. These miscellaneous pieces are really not worry-free. ”
"Do you think they're going to dig that top open?" Lin Chuan looked out through the crack in the door with some concern, and a giant rat pounced, but he turned a blind eye to it. On the way back, he saw a mutant cow from a distance smash its horns into the building and find out the people inside and eat them, which was what worried him.
"Yesterday morning, a mutant pig was there digging for a long time with its fangs, and it was scratched by steel bars and walked away with blood all over its face. I don't think it's a big deal, it's at least four meters thick to the ground, it has to be a hundred tons, right? What kind of monster can get it out of the way? Tank said unconcernedly.
Lin Chuan chatted with him for a few more words, and finally walked back to the place where the hole was dug.
Just as a man withdrew from it with an electric drill, his face covered in dust and his clothes completely soaked with sweat.
"It's too hard to push inside." He shook his head and said, someone handed him a bottle of water, and he drank half of it in one go.
At this time, two men began to take turns chiseling with crowbars.
"What does it sound like? How thick is it? Wang Qinian asked eagerly.
"It doesn't feel like it's changed, how much concrete was poured at that time?" One of them couldn't help but scold.
The working surface is only enough for one person to play an electric drill inside, and two people to chisel outside, so in order to ensure efficiency, basically one person has to be replaced every five minutes. Except for those in charge of special things, such as defense, warehouses, and medical care, they selected the strongest three hundred people to do this, but the progress has not been satisfactory. The steel bar, which had been hastily cut with the destruction pliers, protruded outside, and when a person exerted force, his arm slashed on it, and the muscles were completely flipped open, and blood flowed all over the ground. He screamed in pain, and Jian Chen had to inject him with the only remaining analgesic.
People began to lose faith, and the concrete inside the mouth seemed to never end, and the clanging chisel rang all day and night, and at last there was no hope for it.
Lin Chuan also began to stop going there to check the situation, and more often stayed at the door with Li Mingfeng, Tank, and Lao Leng, watching the weather, watching those monsters, big or small, appear there in turn.
People were still dying every day in the civil air defense fortifications, and the corpses were placed in the deepest corners, and the smell began to diffuse unbearable.
The atmosphere began to fall silent again, except for the sound of Ding Ding and the unwilling cries of the monsters.
"That's it! It's done! Suddenly someone shouted, Lin Chuan jumped up from the ground and quickly squeezed into the crowd.
The construction had stopped, and Jiang Ming was bleeding from his head and giggling with a crowbar in his hand, which was already a little bent.
"What's wrong? Why is your head bleeding? Lin Chuan asked.
"My head?" Jiang Ming touched it, and when he just chiseled through the concrete wall, he suddenly lost his center of gravity and hit the hole, making a cut on his head, but he didn't care about smearing the blood on his body. "Look at it!" He excitedly handed the crowbar in his hand to Lin Chuan, and the pointed end was stained with some fresh dirt.
Lin Chuan touched it with his hand, it was slightly damp, but it was indeed fresh soil.
He snatched the crowbar and stabbed it into the hole hard, finally hearing the sound of concrete cracking. He took the crowbar out, and the tip got more dirt on it.
"We made it!" Lin Chuan held the crowbar that represented hope high, and the people burst into cheers, and many people hugged each other.
With this shout, a huge claw began to poke through the tunnel in the doorway again, striking the door several times, causing the tank to tighten its grip on the gun.
"Dio! Didn't you just make a hole? As for it? Mess with all this! He scolded with some annoyance, but he soon couldn't help but laugh.
"It's really Tama's, it's so good!" He punched Lao Leng who was standing next to him, and the latter had a rare smile on his face.
