Chapter 308: Someone Gets First
Chapter 308: Someone Takes the Lead
Wang Road's mobile phone navigation map shows that the Yinjiang River to the Kyaukkou Reservoir, a total of 26 kilometers, this road, named along the Yanxi Line, as the name suggests, is along the Yinjiang River from the Kyaukkou Reservoir as the source, the road is not long, but the villages along the way are dense, in addition to Zhangcun Town, there are more than 10 villages scattered on both sides of the road.
Wang Lu was not naΓ―ve enough to think that the previous flood would sweep away the zombies near the left of the stream, so he pointed to the map and said, "Let's go from the waterway to the bottom of the Kyaukkou Reservoir dam." β
Xie Ling was a little worried: "This section of the waterway is shallow in some places, isn't there a dam in front of Mingfeng Villa?" Also, there is a shoal where the last time the excavator ran aground. β
Wang Ludao: "I have been checking the water level of the Yinjiang River recently, although the water level has dropped a lot after the flood has receded, but it is still higher than before, it is estimated that after the damage of the reservoir flood gate, the water in the reservoir has been discharged, so the water level has been raised. β
This is a big operation, the Kyaukkou Reservoir is also a large unit nearby, and there are not necessarily fewer zombies in it, Wang Lu called all the staff to the health center through the phone, and even the pear head was hugged, Grandma Cui originally said that she was going to take care of the farmland around Mingfeng Villa, but she had already gone back, and she made a special trip to let Zhou Chunyu drive a motor boat and pick her up.
Except for the old man Chen on the hospital bed, the big guys all crowded into the office of the director of the health center, and Mrs. Cui was handing out peaches to everyone one by one - peaches, Xie Ling asked in surprise: "Where did this peach come from?" β
Mrs. Cui said with a smile: "Isn't the farmland along the river all destroyed, I went to the direction of Dalu Village to find the fields that were not affected by the disaster during this time, and I really found a lot, and I also found a peach forest, I picked some peaches casually." β
Wang Lu's eyes lit up: "Grandma Cui, is there rice in those farmlands?" β
Mrs. Cui shook her head: "Most of the trees planted in the area of Dalu Village are economic forests, as well as flowers and trees, and some vegetable fields, I haven't found rice fields yet, but if I let the old woman look for a few more days, I will definitely be able to find them." β
Wang Lu sighed silently, the farmers in Yinjiang Town are too economically minded, except for their own rations, most of the land is used to grow cash crops, he hurriedly said: "Grandma Cui, I didn't know that you were looking for farmland everywhere alone, I was negligent, this is too dangerous, what if you encounter zombies?" In my opinion, our current supplies are enough to last until next year, so you don't have to venture around looking for rice fields, just open a few vegetable fields next to Mingfeng Villa. β
Grandma Cui was a little unhappy: "Xiao Wang, you also underestimate my wife too much, what is a zombie, my wife has not never killed, and besides, this field has wide eyes to see far, my wife is old and her legs and feet are still sharp, and she can't escape." This rice is not a trivial matter, and the seeds of next spring will have to come from here. Xiao Wang, you don't know how to do farm work, since the last harvest encountered the tide of corpses, this God is rain and sun, this rice must be lodging in the field, after a long time, this rice grain will become a violent waist grain, that is, broken rice, such rice, can not be used as seeds. My wife doesn't take advantage of the fact that the rice has not yet germinated and moldy to find some good and intact seeds, and what can I plant next year? β
Wang Lu slapped his forehead, hell, how did he forget about this, seeds, this is a matter involving a century-old plan!
The big guy became nervous when he heard this, Xie Ling didn't even care about eating peaches, and pulled Mrs. Cui and asked, "Grandma, can you still find this good rice without a violent waist?" β
Mrs. Cui stroked Xie Ling's hand and said: "Girl, don't worry, there must be people in this area who grow rations, and the ration fields are planted with local rice seeds, which can be retained, as long as you find one or two acres of rice, you will definitely be able to pick out enough suitable seeds from the rice." ββ¦,
Mrs. Cui carefully calculated: "Even if we eat 1,000 catties of rice per person a year, and the output of the field is a little lower than that of pesticides and fertilizers, it is 300 kilograms and there is a 20-acre field, which is enough to feed us." It takes 3 catties of seeds to plant one acre of rice, and only 60 catties of rice seeds are needed for 2 acres of land. β
Chen Wei hurriedly said: "What are you waiting for, let's go, let's all help Grandma Cui find rice." β
Mrs. Cui hurriedly said: "Teacher Xiao Chen, this is not in a hurry, I am familiar with this area of farmland, you may not be able to find it if you look for it randomly, according to my wife's idea, it is better for me to find it alone, and then call everyone to harvest together." β
Wang Lu hurriedly said: "How can this be done, we are not at ease no matter how your old man is alone outside." In this way, I asked Xiao Zhou to accompany you, firstly, to protect your safety, and secondly, if you find the rice field, you can harvest it as soon as possible, otherwise, if there is a few more rains, this rice can really rot in the field. β
Wang Lu originally wanted Shen Mugu to follow Mrs. Cui, but after a while, Shen Mugu's radar function was indispensable for attacking the Kyaukkou Reservoir this time, and the two sides weighed it, so let Zhou Chunyu protect Mrs. Cui, after all, Zhou Chunyu's individual combat ability was still higher than Shen Mugu's.
Wang Lu said to Zhou Chunyu again: "Drive that motor tricycle, the oil will be used openly, and when we lay down the Kyaukkou Reservoir, what is this bit of oil, remember everything to find the rice as quickly as possible." β
Zhou Chunyu hurriedly responded.
Wang Lu turned to everyone again and said, "I didn't think about this rice matter well, and I was so tired that Grandma Cui ventured to find it alone, but fortunately there was no chaos." I'm just a layman, I don't have much ability, there are always unexpected places to do things, and I ask you to help me give me more advice. β
Feng Haiqi said: "Xiao Wang, what you said is not right, everyone is a clear-eyed person, you haven't been free for a day during this time, which time you are not in the front, no one is a jack of all trades, you can take the lead in everything, you have done a very good job." β
Shen Mugu hurriedly said: "Brother Wang, although I haven't been here for a long time, you have to look at everything you do, it's all for our good." β
Chen Wei couldn't praise her husband in front of her, so she hurriedly reached out and stabbed Xie Ling in the back, Xie Ling was secretly funny, and said: "Brother, don't be modest, excessive modesty is pride." β
In the end, it was decided that Zhou Chunyu would accompany Mrs. Cui to find rice, Wang Lu, Xie Ling, Feng Haiqi, and Shen Mugu would go to Kyaukkou Reservoir, and Chen Wei would take care of Old Man Chen and Litou in the health center.
Wang Bi'an raised his hand timidly: "Dad, can I participate in this operation?" He immediately added: "You promised me that you would take me to kill zombies when you have the chance." β
Wang Lu wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, with Shen Mugu here, he could grasp the movements of the zombies in advance, and this operation was relatively safe, so he asked: "If you participate in the operation, what should you do with the radio call?" β
Wang Bi'an cheered: "I will write down the content first and let my mother call for me, anyway, the radio is similar to the walkie-talkie, it is not complicated at all." Saying that, he took Chen Wei's hand: "Mom, you can help me once." β
Wang Lu saw Chen Wei nodded, so he said to Wang Bi'an: "Okay, go pick a suitable weapon yourself, by the way, I remember that your mother also ordered protective gear for you, bring it all." β
After a while, Zhou Chunyu drove a motorized tricycle, clicking, and carrying Mrs. Cui out of the health center, Wang Lu and others were a step late because they had to bring weapons and equipment, and only walked to the river under Chen Wei's eyes half an hour later.
Wang Bi'an was the most excited, running in front with a hoe and his armor, after jumping on the motor boat, he turned around and took over the spare oil drum in Xie Ling's hand, Wang Lu lit the engine, and the motor boat suddenly sounded and went upstream. β¦,
The speed of the motor boat was not covered, and it quickly passed the Mingfeng Villa and the dam - Wang Lu guessed correctly, because the water level was high, the motor boat did not carry goods, and the draft was not deep. It was only a little trouble when he got to the place where the excavator ran aground, because he was afraid of being grounded in the shallows below and injured the propeller, so Wang Lu operated the motor boat to retreat and advance several times before crossing here.
When the motor boat passed through Zhangcun Town, several zombies were seen on the roadside along the river, and some zombies jumped into the water to chase the motor boat, which was clearly a water zombie. Wang Lu frowned, the water zombies here don't know if they were the first batch of Yinjiang to migrate, or if they learned it because of some kind of opportunity, alas, forget it, it's useless to think about it, there will only be more and more water zombies in the future.
The motor boat turned to the right at Shaojiaao, and in the distance, Wang Lu saw the tall dam body of the Kyaukkou Reservoir. After a while, the water flow became more and more rapid, hitting the bow of the boat undulating, looking from afar, only to see a huge flow of water gushing out on the dam body, flying straight down, making a huge roar, the leakage gate of the Kyaukkou Reservoir is releasing water.
Wang Lu was worried that the current ahead would be too fast, causing the motor boat to lose control and damage the propeller, so he pulled over and stopped the boat.
Along the way, Shen Mugu had been closing his eyes to sense zombies, and then he felt the boat stop, opened his eyes and said to Wang Lu: "There are no zombies within a hundred meters." β
Wang Lu nodded and said to everyone: "Wear the leather armor inside, and after the reconnaissance, you will decide how to attack." β
Everyone put on leather armor and found a port on the left bank to go ashore, because Feng Haiqi said that the reservoir management office was on the left.
The gate of the reservoir management office could already be seen in front, and Feng Haiqi suddenly said: "Wait, everyone, pull aside!" β
Hearing Feng Haiqi's command, everyone immediately flashed into the bushes on the side of the road, and Wang Lu asked while nervously observing the surroundings: "Lao Feng, are there any zombies?" He turned his head and said, "Xiao Shen, hurry up and scan it." β
Shen Mugu just agreed, and Feng Haiqi had already said: "It's not a zombie, it's something else, I always feel that something is wrong." β
Wang Lu believed that Feng Haiqi was out of a veteran's fighting instinct, so he stopped talking, Shen Mugu closed his eyes next to him and felt it for a while, and quietly leaned over to Wang Lu's side and said: "There are 7 zombies around, but they are all fixed, they should be in the house, far away from us." β
Wang Lu nodded, he looked at Feng Haiqi, Feng Haiqi stiffened his face, poked his head out to observe the opposite side carefully, and even raised the telescope to look and look, Wang Lu was a little puzzled, because there was obviously nothing in front of him, and he couldn't hear any abnormal movement except for the roar of the reservoir water.
Just when Wang Lu was impatient and wanted to ask, Feng Haiqi turned around and handed the telescope to Wang Lu: "Look at that flood gate." β
Wang Lu raised the telescope for some reason and looked at the flood gate in the center of the dam, there are a total of 6 flood gates in the Kyaukkou Reservoir, and the middle gate is wide open, and a water flow is under the huge pressure of the reservoir, just like Wang Bian peeing, it soars out in a parabola, and the splashed water droplets are like mist in the air.
Wang Lu stared at the top of the dam or even on the dam body for a long time without blinking, and did not see a single zombie at all.
But Wang Lu knew that there must be a reason why Feng Haiqi asked him to see, and he was embarrassed to ask, and he held the telescope and looked at it for a while, but he still found nothing, just when he raised his hand sour and wanted to put down the telescope, the person was suddenly stunned.
Wang Lu almost pressed the telescope to his eye socket and stared at the flood gate on the reservoir dam.
The flood gate that was gushing out water was not damaged at all -- according to Wang Lu and Feng Haiqi's original guess, the flood that day was due to the fact that the flood gate of the Kyaukkou Reservoir could not withstand the huge pressure of the reservoir and was washed away by the strong water pressure. β¦,
However, what Wang Lu saw now was that the huge metal gate of the flood gate had been lifted up and was completely open in a normal state, with no signs of damage at all.
Wang Lu retracted his head suddenly, and made eye contact with Feng Hai, both of them had a look of surprise in their eyes, and Wang Lu muttered: "There are people in the Kyaukkou Reservoir, there are living people!" β
Xie Ling and Shen Mugu, who were inexplicably beside them, were taken aback, and Xie Ling blurted out: "Brother, you must have made a mistake, right?" β
Wang Lu handed the binoculars to Xie Ling and asked her to see the gate, after Xie Ling saw it, her face was still full of questions, she said, "Maybe the gate was originally opened?" β
Wang Lu shook his head: "Impossible." If the sluice gate is always open, then the water in the reservoir has been discharged, do you think, how long have we been in Yinjiang? If the reservoir has been releasing water, how can it cause a sudden flood on a typhoon day? This shows that the reservoir is under control, and when the water from the upstream exceeds the warning line on the day of the typhoon, the sluice gate is suddenly opened to release the water, which caused a major flood that swept through Zhangcun Town, Longguan Township and Yinjiang Town. β
Xie Ling was still a little unconvinced, and Feng Haiqi said at this time: "I remember, when Zhou Chunyu and I came out of Siming Mountain, we passed through the Kyaukkou Reservoir, although we couldn't see the flood gate from the road along the stream, but I was sure that I didn't hear the roar of the water release." The floodgates were opened only after the tide of corpses. β
There are people, there are living people, maybe more than one, they occupy the Kyaukkou Reservoir, occupy the Kyaukkou Reservoir that Wang Lu and others urgently need.
What to do? Everyone fell silent for a moment.
