Chapter 20. Inside the Motor City. above
"This one can't be used, the big arm is broken...... Zhang Mingwei shook the lever, but the big arm of the excavator didn't move at all, and he couldn't help but scold with regret: "This damn nuclear bomb, this is the fifth one, one by one is either paralyzed or the big arm can't be used, don't you keep a good car?"
Seeing that Zhang Mingwei was in a low mood, Yi Ling hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him.
"Brother, don't be discouraged, you see that there are so many excavators behind, you can always find a useful one."
Zhang Mingwei also knew that complaining could not change the status quo, patted Yi Ling on the shoulder to say that he was fine, adjusted his mood and rushed to the next excavator.
Excavators and forklifts are special vehicles, and there are many precision electronic components, especially excavators, many hydraulic pumps need circuit control, and after the interference of electromagnetic pulses and the impact of high temperature and high pressure, the circuit is burned out, the pipeline is damaged, and the oil in the hydraulic pump leaks directly......
If there is some equipment that can be disassembled and replaced, it may be possible to extract parts from scrap cars and replace the good parts with other cars, so as to piece together a car that can be used normally, but everyone on the scene does not have the technical ability, and this idea can only be temporarily abandoned.
The four of them dispersed, started one by one, and really found an excavator that could be used normally.
This is a medium-sized excavator, with only some minor faults in the circuit, which is basically barely usable after Li Shuying's emergency repair.
After all, people only do circuit and machine tool maintenance, and car repair is not included in her business scope, at most, it will be repaired like this.
I can almost drive and walk normally, and I can't lie on my stomach for a while.
In this special period, everyone was not too picky, Zhang Mingwei couldn't wait to drive the excavator to clean up the waste car group at the gate of the automobile city, leaving the three of them to continue to search in the construction site.
The four of them originally planned to go to the automobile city first, find the big truck and bring the tools and materials, and then come to look for large construction equipment, but the group of abandoned cars at the gate of the automobile city that could not be seen at a glance really startled everyone.
The car accidents I saw at the toll booth in the past can be said to be small scenes, and what happened at the gate of the automobile city is called a human tragedy.
Cars, cars, cars, all of them are cars.
Forget about the car alone, the limb parts scattered everywhere have rotted and exposed the bones, the flies and insects are enjoying this boundless feast, the breath of death rushes to the sky, Yi Ling, who is used to seeing death, feels a little uncomfortable in the stomach, not to mention the two girls with average bearing capacity, if it weren't for the gas masks, it is estimated that they would have vomited out a long time ago.
It is indeed a bit unrealistic to clear a road here that can be driven by tractors, at least relying on tractors to pull one by one, it is estimated that it will not be able to do it in ten days and half a month.
Fortunately, the excavator came, and the terrifying arm of the power was as easy as a knife into a cake.
The bucket cuts into the front windshield of the car, hooking one car directly, throwing it aside and then the next one.
The efficiency is so high, it takes tens of seconds to clean a car, and it used to take more than an hour to move a dozen cars, but now it can be done in a few minutes.
Next, Yi Ling found a ruthless thing.
A forklift that can still drive.
The forklift is much less used than the excavator, and there are not many on the construction site, but it can't stand the possession of Yiling Ouhuang, so I found a forklift that didn't break down!
Yi Ling happily ran to Zhang Mingwei to report the good news, after learning that there was a forklift that could be driven, Zhang Mingwei almost jumped up happily, and simply taught Yi Ling how to use the excavator and threw the excavator to Yi Ling, and ran back to drive the forklift.
This is a medium-sized forklift, but it is also a relatively powerful kind in the medium-sized forklift, and the bucket is a specially equipped large bucket, which is much larger than the general bucket, and is suitable for loading some lighter things.
But now in this special period, whatever.
Licking his lips, Zhang Mingwei drove a forklift with a strange smile, venting his desire to destroy while making Yi Ling's eyes red.
Boys don't have such a dream when they are young, don't they?
The efficiency of the forklift is much higher than that of the excavator, and the speeding forklift is like an angry bull, straight into the path that has just been cleared, and the waste trucks along the way are squeezed to the side, and the original narrow road is instantly widened.
Zhang Mingwei smiled strangely and controlled the forklift to rush forward, and the car in front of him was dismembered into pieces after parts under the strong thrust, splashing everywhere.
The forklift quickly cleared a road, and the efficiency was terrifying, and of course the fuel consumption was even more terrifying.
Yi Ling also wanted to go over to find a tanker truck to replenish fuel for the shelter, but the oil factory was estimated to be listed as a key target, and it was directly smashed by a tactical nuclear warhead, and the fire went straight to the sky, which continued to burn for nearly half a month, and all the oil, equipment, and vehicles in it were all destroyed.
Fortunately, Yiling can take oil from the fuel tank of the waste car, but due to the load capacity and the lack of corresponding safety equipment, he has not stored too much fuel.
This time, in order to support the excavator and forklift, the two big oil eaters, they had to reserve a large amount of oil.
Zhou Xingyuan and Li Shuying searched the construction site carpet and confirmed that there was no one. After the vehicle was in good condition, it returned to the intersection of the Motor City and reported to Yi Ling.
Everything was almost busy, Zhang Mingwei forcibly opened a road for forklifts to pass, which was waving at Yi Ling.
Yi Ling also chased after two little beauties.
The Motor City is a car distribution center, full of shops that buy and sell second-hand cars, all kinds of car repair and car wash shops, and all kinds of car outlets.
In some large sales stores, Yi Ling can see all kinds of luxury cars.
If you drove this thing on the street before the end of the world, it would be more eye-catching, and the return rate would be directly off the table, but now...... A sports car with an oil-burning chassis that is low and easy to break down in road conditions is not as good as a Wuling Hongguang, at least it is more sturdy than others.
Yi Ling was just too addicted, but the other three were so excited that they ran to the car to look and touch, even if the front windshield was broken clean, they couldn't resist their enthusiasm.
It doesn't matter, let them play.
Yi Ling didn't spend so much energy on the sports car, but began to look around.
From the moment he entered this street, Yi Ling began to feel a faint sense of disobedience, and this sense of disobedience seemed familiar.
There must be some clue missing.
His eyes drifted over the abandoned cars, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration.
I know, I know something is wrong, there are so few corpses here.
There are indeed a large number of vehicles at the intersection of the Motor City, and the flesh and blood grinding plate is deeply engraved in Yi Ling's heart, but there are so many dead people at the intersection, and the number of dead people here is far from enough.
It was already a crowded place, with a large number of car vendors and shoppers, food vendors and grocery vendors, and the number of people who died at the intersection was far from that number.
There are tons of survivors here!
Yi Ling's mind was racing rapidly, and he suddenly thought of something.
Underground garage!
All the underground garages are built according to the standards of civil air defense buildings, and the new large communities must be equipped with underground garages, and this whole street is newly built houses, which means that the communities here have civil air defense level underground parking garages, plus the underground garages of various car shops, the number of survivors here may be beyond imagination.
