#512 - Chapter 512 Arrival, Moving Food
Four o'clock in the afternoon.
Xiang Province.
On a certain highway, a large convoy was speeding past.
They were the combat troops rushing from Mentang Town to the Ningcheng granary to transport grain!
"Captain, how long do we have before we reach our destination?"
Liu Qing sat in the driver's seat of the lead riot control vehicle, looking back at Captain Li Bowen.
They had set off early in the morning and continued to rush towards their destination non-stop for almost an entire day.
Perhaps it was after passing through the inter-provincial section, where the survivors had cleared the highway, that the road conditions improved a lot, allowing the Green Origin convoy to increase its speed slightly, covering hundreds of kilometers in most of the day.
Of course, the process was not too smooth. Occasionally, they had to stop to push away obstacles and deal with some tire blowouts.
The outside temperature was really too high.
The tire pressure of heavy trucks was originally not low, but under this temperature, two vehicles actually had tire blowouts.
Later, everyone reduced the overall air pressure before it stopped happening.
Today's temperature had reached an astonishing 54 degrees Celsius!
During the hottest period of the sun at noon, the temperature on the highway was estimated to exceed 60 degrees Celsius!
It was almost like driving on a pan of oil!
Simply ruthless.
Fortunately, the proportion of asphalt material used in Huaguo's road paving controls the melting point at around 100 degrees Celsius, otherwise the road surface would soften if the temperature was too high.
The melting point of car tires is generally between 90-200℃, which is still within a safe range.
The team members would be soaked in just a few minutes when they got out of the car to change tires. The outside air was thick and scorching. If it weren't for the mission, ordinary humans would never run to the road to court death at this time.
"Hang in there, we are about a hundred kilometers away from the target. Let's try to get to the destination directly today and rest inside, so as not to find another place to spend the night!"
Li Bowen looked at the map for a while, and then combined it with the road signs on the highway to draw a specific conclusion.
He had been to that granary before, and it could accommodate their personnel for the night.
"What's the situation above? Any abnormalities?"
After saying a word to Liu Qing, he took out the walkie-talkie and asked.
Above their heads, there was also an airship flying escort!
Once there is any abnormality, they can directly inform them or provide support. There are a lot of weapons on the airship, and ordinary enemies are not a problem at all.
After receiving a response that everything was normal, Team Leader Li once again cheered in the team channel, asking everyone to cheer up and finish the last leg of the journey today.
Behind, in one of the heavy trucks.
Zhou Xin was driving the car, Yao Lei was in the passenger seat, and Jia Fu, an external cooperation combat team member, was in the back.
After last night, their relationship actually became familiar, and today they directly sat in the same car.
"Sister Lei Lei, I heard that your marksmanship is the best among us. Can you teach me? I also want to become stronger!"
Jia Fu looked at Yao Lei in the back seat with an expectant tone.
She joined the external cooperation force naturally to become stronger, and then protect the people she values. She is even more happy to ask for advice from the strong.
"No, no, my marksmanship is just average. They are all exaggerating. But if you want to learn, I can teach you some techniques and key points. How much you can learn depends on yourself."
Yao Lei smiled when she heard that she was said to be powerful, and she casually agreed to Jia Fu's request without refusing.
Teaching someone she likes is just a matter of convenience for her.
Moreover, the journey was very boring, so she simply explained her experience in using firearms and cold weapons to Jia Fu in the car.
She doesn't just know how to use firearms. Every core combat team member of Green Origin is good at fighting and firearms. Since the snow disaster last year, they have been in closed training in the base for nearly two months.
Not to mention that in the past six months, except when they are on missions, they basically spend the rest of their time in the training ground and shooting range for various combat training!
It can be said that every one of their core combat team members is not weak.
It is not a problem to knock down three or two ordinary men.
As an external cooperation member who has just joined the branch base, Jia Fu has not yet been assigned her own pistol, only a handy machete and crossbow. She needs more training and contribution to be given the qualification to use firearms when performing tasks.
Of course, even core members have to hand in their firearms when they return to the base, and they can only receive and use them when they are on missions.
Soon, Jia Fu absorbed the various fighting skills and technical insights taught by Yao Lei like a sponge.
She was originally at the age of learning, and her absorption and digestion efficiency was extremely fast.
Zhou Xin, who was driving the heavy truck, occasionally looked back at the two girls, one big and one small, in the car, with a smile on her lips.
The next generation of Green Origin seems to be good too.
————————————
Two hours passed.
It was past six o'clock.
The sunset on the horizon was coming to an end.
The Green Origin team finally arrived at the final destination of this trip!
Team Leader Li walked to the building, confirmed that no one had been here since they left two days ago, and decisively opened the warehouse door inside.
As before, a fragrant aroma of grain wafted out!
"Divide some people to start arranging the alert! The others surround the car into a semicircle to block this place. We will slowly move the grain into the car tonight, and we will start the return trip early tomorrow morning!"
After Team Leader Li and Team Leader Zhong and Team Leader Liu discussed, they immediately decided to complete the transportation of grain as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of the temperature drop as they entered the night, and the remote terrain here, the zombies attracted at night should not be too many. As long as the defense is arranged properly, it should not be a big problem.
"Wow! So we came out here to transport grain! Crap! There's too much! How much grain is here?!"
Many branch base members entered the granary and saw the mountains of packaged reserves of various types of grain, and they all exclaimed in shock.
Too much!
1600 tons of grain, a bag of about 50 kilograms, would have more than 30,000 bags!
Absolutely piled up like a mountain!
"Don't move around with bad thoughts! Everyone is watching, do your own thing!"
Hearing the shouts of many team members, and their glowing eyes, some of them couldn't help but wake them up.
These people were more rational and knew that if someone moved around with bad intentions, the base would definitely not let them go in the end.
Many people's feverish minds came to their senses. Yes, if anyone dared to steal or hide grain, what awaits them may not be just expulsion from the base.
Compared to the already stable life, why take such a risk?
Of course, no one really had any thoughts in this regard.
Everyone moved and began to classify, transport, and load the grain inside.
This is a hard and happy job. After the base obtains such a large amount of grain, there is no doubt that everyone will have more security in the future!
With food and guns in hand!
Don't panic at all!
Team Leader Li and other captains silently looked at these people who quickly sobered up, and nodded silently in their hearts.
It doesn't matter if you have ideas for a while, that's human nature. As long as you can control yourself, you are a disciplined person.
What the Green Origin combat troops need most is discipline.
