Chapter 399: The Old, the Weak, the Sick and the Disabled
Sorting out supplies, abandoning rubber boats, Xuedan led the team to shuttle through the forest, and Lin Wu stayed in the squadron to protect the old, weak, sick and disabled. The most important material in the brigade is, of course, the generator, and at the moment the situation can only be taken care of by the knives and stones that have not yet healed. This is not a simple job, some of the rail trains are relatively close to each other, even with a gap of more than one meter, and are paved with small stones. Besides, the physical strength of the two of them can't keep up, and they have to rest for a while if they lift dozens of meters.
As the team slowly moved forward, Shanna, who was supported by Xiaowen, felt sincerely ashamed.
Taking into account the objective situation, the team temporarily did not accept the carpet and only took away some soaked paper towels, instant noodles and biscuits.
There was also a zombie sneak attack on the road, but fortunately, the top soldier Snow Egg was an old fritter and was not succeeded by the zombies. However, in general, this road is still very safe, after all, it is the road that Lin Wu has walked several times.
When the team arrived at the rickshaw, everyone could finally rest for a while, Lin Wu bumped Shana on the shoulder, Shana was a little embarrassed, but still stood up and said: "Stone, knife, Su Shi and I will go first, put things on the rickshaw as much as possible." The others were arranged by Lin Wu. ”
Lin Wu said: "Xiaowen and Lin Meng stay, stay on guard, theoretically there will be no danger, but don't take it lightly." Don't chat, stay silent. Xuedan, let's go back and transport another batch of supplies, we have to get a few carpets, otherwise it will be difficult to rest at night. ”
Lin Meng said: "We were not injured. ”
Xiaowen nodded: "We can help." ”
"Then you guys leave your backpacks in place." Lin Wu said: "Shana, you sort out the supplies and take as many things as you can." ”
"Okay."
Lin Wu walked three kilometers to the destination to collect the wet carpet, and the carpet had to be dried for another day depending on the situation. And they rolled up the carpet and tied it firmly, and each of them took two rolls. A five-meter by five-meter carpet is certainly not easy to hold, but it can be dragged along. Although it will make a lot of noise, the team is not injured, and Lin Wu and Xuedan are also familiar with the surrounding situation of the route, so there is no big problem.
The four of them delivered the carpet to the rickshaw. The returning knife waited by the rickshaw, and the knife took Lin Meng, Xiaowen and some supplies. Lin Wu and Xuedan made another trip, and they used their backpacks to transport a batch of coal back to try to process it to see if it could be used as fuel.
From the shelter to the rickshaw terminal, the distance is almost two kilometers. The distance from the rickshaw terminal to the material train is about three kilometers. By the time Lin Wu and Xuedan returned to the rickshaw finish again, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon. This time, it was Xiao Wu who came to pick up Lin Wu and Xuedan.
The three of them put the supplies on the rickshaw, each took their place, and when they were about to shake it up, they all looked to the northeast. I saw three helicopters coming from the northeast, and the helicopters flew towards the logistics center more than ten kilometers away from them. This logistics center is the largest logistics center in Houtian City. Supplies transported by sea and rail to the city are sent to this logistics center for sorting, and then delivered by truck or truck to various parts of the city.
Lin Wu climbed a 20-meter-high tower crane, lowered the rope, and Xiao Wu and Xuedan went up to see the excitement together. The distance is relatively far, and even if it is not very clear, only a helicopter can be clearly seen attacking back and forth on the ground. Soon after, 12 soldiers rappelled down from two other helicopters to form a battle line and opened fire with automatic rifles.
After the incident, all three helicopters landed, and the 12 soldiers were divided into three groups, one group for assault, one group for alert, and one group for supplies. About 10 minutes later, two helicopters transported the goods and left, and another transport helicopter flew in the distance, slowly landing in the open space of the logistics park. The rear door of the large transport helicopter opened, and two forklifts were driven out of it.
The soldiers began to occupy high places and set up lights. Judging from their behavior, it is definitely not as simple as a raid, it should be that they plan to stay in the logistics park for a short time until all the materials that can be used are removed.
Xiao Wu said: "After looting the logistics center, the next target is the distribution center, they shouldn't like the survivors." ”
Lin Wu said with relief: "The upper distribution center is enough for them to loot, they can not only destroy the zombies in the upper distribution center, but also lure away the zombies in the lower distribution center." "The upper distribution center refers to the upper part of the gourd, and the lower part of the gourd is the forest fog where they are active.
Xuedan had his own opinion, and said, "Even if the soldiers find out, they may not attack us." Even if there are rebels at the East Base, the rebels are still a disciplined team after all. What should be more worried is the stragglers. ”
"I don't think during the outbreak of the plague they will not enter the city, including here. But we also have some work to do for safety. Lin Wu said: "Go home, go back to the home where there is nothing." ”
Xiao Wu asked with a smile with a bit of ridicule: "Since there is nothing, how can it be home?" ”
Xuedan: "Because there are people, where there is a family, it is home." ”
"That's a good answer, I'll add you a few stone toes at night."
The three of them laughed and returned to the ground, rocked the rickshaw, and returned to the shelter in the company of the setting sun.
……
The railway bridge base is now a bunch of old, weak, sick and disabled, but everyone still wants to do something, after all, the base is too poor.
The Three Elements of Survival: Water, Fire, and Shelter. There is no shortage of these three things, or there is no shortage of railway bridge bases. Lin Wu and Shi chatted for a few minutes, and then held a dinner instant noodle meeting.
Stone began to assign positions, and Shanna was appointed general manager. Lin Wu is the manager of the business department, and Lin Meng and Xiao Wu are the deputy managers of the business department. Xuedan is the manager of the resource department, and Su Shi is the deputy manager of the resource department. Knife is the manager of the internal affairs department, and Stone is the deputy manager of the internal affairs department. Xiaowen is the manager of the logistics department.
Shana is in charge of overall affairs, such as temporary adjustment of personnel, assistance in other parts of the work, statistics, inventory of the company's assets, and planning the future development direction of the company.
The business department is responsible for searching and moving materials, commonly known as looting.
The Ministry of Natural Resources is responsible for infrastructure construction and is responsible for water, fire, electricity, etc.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the overall construction of the base, such as building a better campfire, such as setting up cooking equipment, such as providing more comfortable and warm sleeping berths for everyone, as well as mosquito repellent at the base, washing and drying clothes.
The Logistics Department is responsible for the management of the wounded.
Those who are sick will recuperate first, and those who are injured will recuperate first, and if there is a shortage of manpower, they will talk to Shanna, and Shanna will make overall arrangements. In this way, a lot of things that need to be done are implemented on the head of the department.
Knives and stones negotiated to build a locker room in car 11 with a tarp, and two toilets near car 12 and the locomotive. The locomotive is located in the southwest direction, and the campfire is currently located at the rear of the train, which is car 12.
Xue Dan and Su Shi communicated through pen and paper, intending to solve the fuel problem of the generator first. The generators at the base are diesel-gasoline generators. There are a large number of small cars left in the distribution center, and there are also large trucks parked near the warehouse.
Although some vehicles and small cars were swept away by the floodwaters, some were stuck. The large trucks barely moved.
I talked about whether the fuel tank of the soaking car will be flooded. According to Stone, assuming that the tank is full, the amount of water entering the tank is limited, even if the water is poured back into the tank through the pipeline after soaking. Even if water and oil mix occur, fuel can still be used as long as the water ratio is not too high.
Of course, the first thing to do is to solve the problem of fuel storage.
Xiaowen in the logistics department seems to have the easiest work, but it is also the most stressful. After a few days of tossing, the consumption of drugs is large, especially the stock of antibiotics is only 30% of the original, and there are still many patients in the team. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, so Xiaowen applied to temporarily join the business department to search for medical supplies.
The work of the business department is the most important, the most dangerous, and the most relaxed, and it is easy because they have nothing to take, no business indicators, and no too much business pressure. In addition, Lin Wu's experience in looting is very sophisticated, and the combat effectiveness of both of them and Xiao Wu is very good, which is enough to deal with various situations.
However, other departments have sent their own department's required resources to the business department, which has added some pressure to Lin Meng and Xiao Wu. The pressure is ineffective on the forest fog, and the resource demand can change the direction of the forest fog at most, but cannot change the working attitude of the forest fog. As long as no one can die, Lin Wu still adheres to his own set: everything is according to fate. No matter how poor and bitter you are, you have to touch the fish.
The night was tough, with cold floors and a lack of dry clothes and bedding. Lack of lighting, it is extremely inconvenient to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, and it is embarrassing to solve it in a close place, after all, the fairy's feces and urine will not be fragrant. I ran away and I was scared. Therefore, except for people like Lin Wu, who have no heart and lungs, most people have difficulty sleeping.
The railway bridge has a superior geographical environment, there is only one road, and the nearest zombie is also 1 km away, so there is no need to arrange special night watchers.
……
Early in the morning, it was still instant noodles, Xiaowen took the temperature of the patients, and the fever was completely reduced, but the body was too weak and his hands trembled. Su Shi regained some of his hearing. The knife is similar to the stone, the body is still relatively weak, and the others do not have a fever. Shanna's left ankle is swollen like a big meat bun, and she has not been able to do strenuous exercise recently, so she can only rely on crutches, a chair or the help of a companion to move, and of course she can crawl and walk.
Shana's instruction to the business department is to find out what resources are available in the resource trains, and so far Lin Wu and the others have only explored 20% of the resource trains.
After breakfast, the three people from the business department set off with pistols, daggers and melee weapons in empty bags and Xiaowen from the logistics department, and went to the distribution center by rickshaw.
The railway bridge was about 30 meters higher than the distribution center, and halfway to the distribution center, Lin Wu saw that the soldiers were still stationed in the logistics center.
The day's work was relatively smooth, and the business department inspected 70% of the carriages, but the harvest was not large.
The biggest catch was the medical kits found in several locomotives, but they were mainly for emergency medical treatment, mostly hemostatic bandages and fracture stents for trauma, insulin, asthma spray and first-aid medicines for heart disease, and there were very few basic drugs such as cephalosporin.
What resources are available besides the medical kit?
The first type is gondola and flat cars, and the main materials are coal, logs, automobiles, steel, etc. One is the grain wagons, which are all bulk grains, including unprocessed rice and unhulled wheat, as well as pre-processed rice, corn and so on. Without exception, all food is inedible and has a rotting smell that attracts wild dogs and mice. It is not known how they survived the flood, but they appeared.
The second category is fresh and refrigerated cars with temperature regulation, which are completely wasted without thinking about it. The smell of rot from the grain is acceptable, but the smell of rancid smell with a fishy smell emitted from these carriages makes several people nauseate incessantly, even if they wear masked towels to filter it.
The third category is the large machinery transported by the concave bottom flat car class, don't think about it, not to mention that there is no energy drive, and it cannot be transported.
The fourth category is the debris category, which is the main target of the forest fog, but unfortunately, with the increasing development of roads, the resources that are beneficial to the shelter are usually transported by road. Among the items found were books, plates, marble, cement, rubber, tires, etc. From here, it can be seen how lucky they were to dig up instant noodles on the first day of Lin Wu.
After reporting to Shanna, Shanna asked the business to take a few rolls of water hoses home and target LTL freight tomorrow. LTL freight comes in all sorts of tricks, and you're sure to find something useful. However, the two LTL freight railway lines are next door to the zombie train, and the nearest distance is less than 8 meters, which is extremely dangerous.
Returning to the base in the evening, Lin Wu noticed some changes in the base, first of all, the two toilets and changing rooms built with tarps have been put into use. The toilet is set up in the front of the car and the parking space, falling straight into the air and straight into the river, which is very enjoyable to think about.
The Ministry of Resources made average progress, and the stones passed through several puddles, filtering enough fresh water for the base to consume for a day. Snow Egg went around under the bridge and in the surrounding area, and found only a white plastic bucket with a capacity of 40 liters, the bottom of which was cracked, and it had been repaired by fire and plastic, and it seemed that there was no big problem.
Tomorrow, the resources department will use the water pipe brought back by the business department to bring fresh water from the waterfall, because the height difference is not large, this project can not be completed in a day or two.
The best news is that several carpets are all dried in the sun, so everyone can sleep more comfortably tonight.
Lin Wu: "Lin Meng will be transferred to the Ministry of Resources tomorrow to help the stone receive water." ”
Lin Meng asked, "Is it because I'm running slowly?" ”
Lin Wu: "Yes." ”
Lin Meng was sad: "Don't you hide it now?" ”
Lin Wu: "Yes." ”
Lin Meng angrily raised his hand to hit Lin Wu, and was honestly beaten on the head by Lin Wu's counter-killing. The atmosphere was not cheerful because of Shuanglin's trouble, and after everyone laughed, they were all eating noodles while discussing and thinking about their own departments.
Snow Egg and Stone talk about strainers and dams, which they need to drain at the waterfall, install strainers, and secure the water pipes. Due to the lack of joints and waterproof tape, how to take it over was also a problem for them. Not only do you need to use heavy objects to secure the pipes, but you also have to dig pits and bury pipes more than 100 meters in the waterfall area to avoid being eaten by rodents.
Whether this project will be completed is still unknown.
Stones, Knives, and Knives, members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, will temporarily join the Ministry of Resources, and first solve the fire and water problems of the base. Xiaowen of the logistics department was taught by Xiao Wu to practice needle prick with foam, which hurt everyone.
At this moment, the satellite phone rang, and everyone immediately fell silent.
