Chapter 1659 Damn! Where did these zombies come from?

Everyone gathers firewood and the flames are high,

There is strength in numbers.

Li Yu walked on the wall of Oil City, overlooking the trading market and the buffer city in the distance.

The construction site was densely packed with people everywhere.

The picture of tens of thousands of workers building it together is extremely shocking.

But it also means that a lot of food is consumed every day.

After successfully harvesting grain in the northern grain growing area and the buffer city of Da Zhangshu Base.

With thousands of tons of grain reserves in the oil city, Sanshu also dared to recruit workers vigorously and go all out to build the trading market project and the buffer city.

This is the productivity that bursts out after having massive amounts of food.

Today's big camphor tree forces in the three places have formed a positive cycle after accumulating for many years.

The larger the planting area, the more food can be produced, and the more people can be fed. The greater productivity can be exerted, and a wider area can be built to grow food, and then feed more people.

Advance step by step.

Now that the buffer city wall has only been built for ten days, the foundation on the east side has been completed, and the construction of the foundation on the south side of the wall has actually begun.

This construction speed is more than ten times faster than the buffer city of Da Zhangshu headquarters.

I think the buffer city at the Da Zhangshu headquarters base lasted on and off for nearly a year.

This was not only related to manpower shortage, but also affected by natural disasters, which put it on hold for a long time.

Buffer city wall construction site.

A scene of construction in full swing.

Tens of thousands of people are busy here, and the sky is filled with dust.

Wu Xing sat on the roof of the car, looking at the construction site of Nuo University, and sighed to Zhang Tianfu next to him:

"Old Zhang, our oil city is very generous. This is the first time I have seen such a big scene in the apocalypse."

Zhang Tianfu pressed the magazine in his hand back into the gun and waved the white smoke that blew over.

"Feeding so many people is not an easy task."

"A few days ago, the transportation team delivered grain. I heard it was thousands of tons. This is the most impressive batch!"

When he heard the word "food", Wu Xing sighed:

"Yes, if our Southern Paradise had sufficient food, we wouldn't have to integrate into Oil City."

"It's really remarkable that Oil City can still produce so much food in the apocalypse."

Zhang Tianfu smiled and said:

"However, life will be much easier after integrating into Oil City, isn't it?"

"certainly!"

Wu Xing nodded heavily and said:

"City Lord Li is also a kind and kind person. After taking over our Southern Paradise, he was not xenophobic and gave us third-level personnel treatment, which is really good."

"At least I have food and drink, so I don't have to go hungry anymore."

Zhang Tianfu looked to the south and sighed with emotion:

"This should be the treatment that Mr. Hu fought for for us. I don't know how his old man is doing."

"If you have a chance, go and see him."

Hearing Zhang Tianfu mention Tiger Lord, Wu Xing felt a little heavy.

"How is Mr. Tiger's health lately?"

A few months ago, Mr. Hu's personal doctor had pronounced that Mr. Hu would not survive more than two months.

But after going to the sanatorium at the Da Zhangshu headquarters base, he is still alive today.

Zhang Tianfu replied:

"I heard from the minister that Mr. Hu no longer needs to lie in bed, he can already walk, and his physical condition is pretty good."

"Tsk."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianfu couldn't help but sigh.

"This headquarters base is really strong. It can produce so much food, and the medical level is so good. If I have the chance, I really want to visit the headquarters base."

Hearing what he said, Wu Xing also looked forward to the headquarters base.

According to Zhang Rufeng, who has been to the headquarters base,

Although the headquarters base is quieter, it is more like a paradise.

Sizzling——

At this moment, a voice came from Wu Xing's walkie-talkie.

"Team Wu, there are about ten zombies coming over from Jigong Mountain. They appeared out of nowhere."

Wu Xing quickly replied: "Just kill him, you still have to ask me about this kind of thing."

After speaking, he thought for a while, picked up the walkie-talkie and continued:

"Wait, I'm coming."

He quickly inserted the walkie-talkie back into his chest, and then said to Zhang Tianfu:

"I'll go there. Someone should be guarding the main road over there. There are zombies that appear out of nowhere. I have to go there myself."

"Okay, I'll watch over here at the construction site." Zhang Tianfu nodded.

Wu Xing jumped out of the car, walked to a pickup truck opposite, took a few people with him and drove towards Jigong Mountain.

The buffer city is very large, much larger than the buffer city at the Da Zhangshu headquarters base.

Therefore, the length of the wall must be much longer.

Although it is daytime, due to the accumulation of clouds, guards need to be outside to protect the construction workers.

To prevent zombies from breaking into the construction site and affecting the normal construction of the project.

Wu Xing and Zhang Tianfu both belonged to the militia brigade and were captains of the 12th and 13th brigades.

Each led two hundred militiamen to patrol around the buffer city construction site to ensure the safety of the construction site.

Wu Xing hurriedly drove the vehicle to the east fork.

There are ten militiamen at the fork here, guarding the main road.

Avoid zombies coming from the main road.

Several trucks transporting materials passed by, and Wu Xing parked the car on the curb.

He shook off the dust in front of his eyes, covered his mouth and nose, and walked over.

Due to the recent large-scale construction, many transport trucks are loaded with construction materials, such as some mud and gravel. When the vehicles pass by, it is inevitable that sand and gravel will fall down due to the vibration.

In addition, it has not rained for several months, and the air is extremely dry.

This caused a lot of dust to be rolled up after several vehicles passed by.

In the dust, Wu Xing walked to the subordinates stationed here.

"Brother Xing, these zombies appeared from the main road, but at the checkpoint ahead, they all said that they didn't see zombies. It is very likely that the zombies ran out of the mountain." The subordinate said quickly.

Wu Xing glanced at him, "Zombies are not that smart, and they will avoid people? Are you kidding me."

He squatted down and carefully examined these zombies. The surface of these zombies was a little wet, as if they had just crawled out of the water.

Wu Xing keenly discovered this.

Water?

The ditches around the trading market have long been dry.

But these zombies look like they just walked out of the water.

"A-Dai, where is the water nearby?"

A-Dai, his subordinate, smiled and replied:

"Water, how can there be water nearby? It hasn't rained for almost five or six months, where can the water come from?"

As he was talking, he suddenly looked at the distance of the road.

After reacting, he said:

"There is water. There is a ditch ahead that transports water from Nanwan Lake to the Oil City. There is a wellhead there."

The ditch from Nanwan Lake to the trading market is 10 kilometers long, two meters long and wide, and buried underground.

In order to avoid blockage of mud, sand and garbage in the ditch when transporting water, there is a wellhead every few hundred meters.

The wellhead can go down from the ground to the ditch.

After turning off the water diversion switch, the garbage can be cleaned inside.

That place is the only place with water around.

When Wu Xing heard A-Dai say this, his eyes condensed.

You know, it hasn't rained for nearly half a year, and the water from Nanwan Lake is life-saving water.

That is the lifeline of the Oil City and the Trading Market.

A place where there must be no problems.

He immediately stood up, "Come on, take me there!"

Ah Dai also realized the seriousness of the problem, holding the gun and running quickly, hurriedly running to the lower wellhead.

Soon, they ran to the corner of the road a hundred meters away.

Ah Dai pointed to a protruding cement pile on the east side and said, "That's the lower wellhead."

The ditch was built along the road at the beginning, so the lower wellhead was naturally not far from the main road.

Wu Xing quickly jumped down from the main road and walked to the lower wellhead.

When he walked to the lower wellhead, he saw the open lower wellhead hole, the pushed open wellhead cover and the opened iron lock.

His eyebrows jumped.

"Fuck, which bastard opened the lower wellhead!"

This kind of lower wellhead will only be opened when the ditch is blocked.

But now this lower wellhead has been opened and has not been covered.

Ah Dai looked at the lake water flowing in the well below and said:

"Brother Xing, do you think it was the survivors who opened the cover?"

Wu Xing walked over and lifted the cover. It was very heavy.

It was at least three or four hundred pounds, and one or two people could not lift it at all.

The lock was opened, and the chain was not cut.

The lock was still intact, which meant that the person who opened the lock either had a key or was an expert in unlocking.

Wu Xing thought for a while and said:

"We need to confirm this. See if the maintenance personnel forgot to close the well, or if other survivors opened it deliberately. I have to find the maintenance person in charge, Zhong Jiuling, to confirm."

"Brother Xing, look!"

At this time, Ah Dai pointed to the bottom of the well.

Wu Xing looked down and saw several zombies floating in the lake below, grabbing the handrails on the well wall and climbing up.

After the zombies have been soaked in water for a long time, their bodies will become very flexible.

So in the rainstorm disaster, ordinary zombies can stack after being drenched in the rain and their limbs are flexible.

And these zombies under the wellhead have been soaked in water for a long time, so their limbs can remain relatively flexible, so they can climb out of the well.

Damn it!

After seeing this scene, Wu Xing determined where the zombies that ran to the fork in the road just now came from, crawling out from the fucking wellhead.

In theory, as long as the cover is not opened, there will be no zombies in the ditch.

Although there are many zombies in Nanwan Lake, three layers of blocking nets are set at the water intake.

Zombies are so big that they cannot pass through the three layers of group blocking nets.

Unless the group blocking nets and blocking poles are broken.

How can the steel poles be broken!

In addition, there are railings on both sides of each wellhead to block some larger garbage.

There are more than 20 wellheads and dozens of blocking nets.

For the zombies in the lake to reach here, they have to break through dozens of blocking nets. How is it possible?

These barriers are made of rebar as thick as four centimeters. Zombies have no intelligence, so how can they open the switch and break through layer by layer?

Wu Xing watched the zombies climbing up from the bottom of the well, and did not stop them from coming up.

He glanced at Ah Dai, "Wait for them to climb up and clean them up."

"Yes." Ah Dai's men nodded quickly.

And retreated and scattered on the side.

Wu Xing climbed up to the intersection and thought about the zombies climbing up from the well.

First of all, where did the zombies in the well come from? It is absolutely impossible that they rushed over from Nanwan Lake.

Combined with the fact that the well cover has been removed, there is only one possibility.

That is, at night, the zombies smelled the human presence and rushed to the Oil City. The trading market has a large population, and there are zombies outside the wall every day at night.

Then these zombies like water, and they may hide in the lower well mouth when the day comes.

Maybe because of the recent construction of the wall, the vehicles are very noisy, and there are people passing by.

So the ordinary zombies hiding below were attracted and climbed up during the day.

The more Wu Xing thought about it, the more he felt that his guess was the truth.

At this time, Puchi Puchi——

A Dai and his men below killed these ordinary zombies in a few moves.

They deliberately led the zombies to a place farther away from the well mouth to kill them, just to prevent the zombie bodies from falling into the well.

Although the water they use now is all water drawn from Nanwan Lake.

But if the body falls, it still has to be fished out later.

No matter how you clean up the zombies in Nanwan Lake, you can't clean them up. If you clean them up today, there will still be zombies running into the lake tomorrow.

Nanwan Lake is 75 kilometers in area, so large that it cannot be prevented.

They use water soaked by zombies, which is inevitable.

But after the water arrives at the water plant in the trading market, it must be filtered and disinfected before it can be used.

That's why the water plant is built in the trading market.

Avoid contamination of filtered and disinfected water during transmission

Wu Xing was obsessed with it, squinting his eyes and realized that this matter was very big.

"Brother Xing, what should we do next?"

Wu Xing was about to take out the walkie-talkie to contact the maintenance personnel Zhong Jiuling, but he stopped again.

"Let's go, let's go find Director Ju, I want to report the situation to him in person!" Wu Xing said solemnly.

Water is now an extremely precious resource after half a year without rain.

But now there are zombies hiding in the ditch!

It's so close to the main road, right next to it.

The hidden danger is huge!

This matter must be made a big deal so that the people above will pay attention to it.

Hurrying to the car, Ah Dai asked breathlessly:

"Brother Xing, didn't you say to contact Zhong Jiuling to ask him to come over?"

Wu Xing shook his head and said, "No, the cover was opened just like that. Whether it was an ordinary survivor who wanted to save a few points, or the maintenance personnel forgot to close the cover."

"But the wellhead is too easy to open now. We have to report it and let the top management pay attention to this matter."

While Ah Dai started the car, he was shocked when he heard Wu Xing say that the survivors saved points and didn't want to enter the trading market to buy water.

"No, Brother Xing, the water in the trading market is so cheap, and it is filtered and disinfected clean water. Is it necessary to save a few points?"

"Who knows, there is no monitoring installed at the wellhead now, drive quickly." Wu Xing urged.

"Wait."

Wu Xing suddenly stopped and said to Liu Keming outside the car window:

"Keming, you guys don't have to wait at the fork in the road, go to the wellhead, who knows if there are still zombies in there, but as long as one comes up, you kill it!"

"Got it." Liu Keming nodded.

Wu Xing looked at Ah Dai, "Drive."

Boom boom boom——

The pickup truck roared towards the trading market.
