Chapter 1660 The crowd is outraged!

Trading bazaar.

North District.

Boot camp.

If the militia brigade is not on duty to perform tasks, they basically have to come to the recruit training camp to participate in training.

Wu Xing did not conduct training because he had the task of guarding the buffer city wall construction site.

Since the establishment of the Civil Armament Division, Ju Tianrui stayed at the headquarters base for two or three months to train the militiamen at the headquarters base.

Then he came to the trading market to train the militia here. Several months have passed now.

Today's Militia Division has expanded from the original 18 militia brigades to 20 militia brigades since the first Da Zhangshu Center Conference was held.

Two new brigades, 19 and 22, were added.

The 19th Brigade, Captain Xia Tian.

20th Brigade, Captain Liu Zhengming.

In the summer, I fled from the southwest to the headquarters base, and then in order to support the construction of the trading market, I arrived in the Oil City before the thunderstorm and natural disaster.

Liu Zhengming, on the other hand, joined the Da Zhangshu Base a little later than Bai Wenyang, Chen Delong and others. He accumulated contributions through completing tasks and was promoted step by step.

The Militia Department has 20 militia brigades, each with 5 squadrons and each squadron with 40 people.

The Militia Division has a total of 4,000 people. Compared with the 1,600 people in the Operations Division, the Militia Division has a larger number of people.

There are currently 7,000 people in the military department of the Great Zhangshu Force.

There are 1,400 people in the Security Department, 4,000 people in the Militia Department, and 1,600 people in the Operations Department.

This does not include personnel in the Arms Department and Logistics Department. There are 7,000 combat personnel alone.

Compared with Da Zhangshu two or three years ago, the number of combat personnel has increased almost exponentially.

Da Zhangshu's power spans three places, and its radiation affects a huge area. The actual population under its control exceeds 170,000.

7,000 combat personnel is neither too many nor too few.

"Where is Director Ju?" Wu Xing asked the guard standing guard at the entrance of the recruit training camp.

The guard pointed to the shooting range and replied: "The director is at the shooting range, guiding and training marksmanship."

"good."

Wu Xing got out of the car and ran towards the shooting range.

Driving is not allowed in training camp, so he has to walk.

I trotted all the way to the shooting range, bang bang~

Gunfire continued.

Wu Xing found Ju Tianrui on the stage and he trotted over.

call--

Wu Xing took a breath and said to Ju Tianrui who was wearing sunglasses:

"Director, I have something important to report to you."

Seeing his serious expression, Ju Tianrui knew that something big must have happened, so he handed the binoculars to the training deputy next to him.

"Zheng Lang, you continue to stare here, I have something to do and leave for a while."

Zheng Lang took the telescope, glanced at Wu Xing, nodded and said, "Okay."

Ju Tianrui and Wu Xing walked aside, picked up the kettle from the table and poured themselves a glass of water.

"Tell me, what happened? Did something happen on the construction site?"

Wu Xing quickly reported:

"No, there's something wrong with the ditch at the water plant!"

"Just now we were outside the construction site, and suddenly a dozen zombies covered in water appeared from the main road. We checked along the way and found that these zombies climbed up from the ditch and the well mouth."

"And the manhole cover and lock at the manhole have been opened. There are many zombies in the ditch."

"I suspect that some survivors opened this manhole cover on purpose!"

Wu Xing quickly told Ju Tianrui what he saw.

After hearing this, Ju Tianrui frowned.

Realizing the seriousness of the problem, he immediately put down the kettle.

After thinking for a moment, he said:

"Follow me!"

He wanted to see it for himself.

There must be no problem with the water plant. This is related to the drinking water problem for everyone in Oil City and the trading market.

On the way there, he simultaneously contacted Xie Changshan, the chief engineer of the Petroleum City Construction, and Zhong Jiuling, who was specifically responsible for trench pipes, and asked them to come down to the wellhead together.

Ten minutes later.

The vehicle screeched to a halt.

Just when Wu Xing and the others left, Wu Xing stayed and watched Liu Keming and others go down to the wellhead and kill dozens of zombies crawling out of the ditch.

Now go down to the zombie corpses on the ground around the well entrance.

Ju Tianrui's eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this scene. There were so many zombies in the ditch!

If so many zombies block the ditches, the water from Nanwan Lake will not be transported to the trading market normally.

He jumped from the road and came to the edge of the ditch.

"Director."

"Director."

Liu Keming and others greeted Ju Tianrui one after another while staring closely at the mouth of the well.

Ju Tianrui stepped forward tentatively and saw a zombie rising and falling in the lake in the ditch.

"Jie Changshan, how long will it take for you to arrive?" Ju Tianrui picked up the walkie-talkie and urged.

To get rid of the zombies here, we must first cut off and close the sluice gate on the Nam Van Lake side, and drain the water in the ditch to the trading market.

Only in this way can we go down and clean up the zombies inside.

"We'll be there soon." Xie Changshan's voice was a little anxious. If something like this happened, he would also have to bear the responsibility.

Liu Keming, who was next to Ju Tianrui, said:

"Director, there shouldn't be many zombies down here. We made noise at the mouth of the well just now and attracted dozens of zombies. Now there are fewer and fewer zombies climbing up."

"Yes, I understand." Ju Tianrui nodded.

Wu Xing stepped forward and said:

"Director, I think some survivors must have opened the cover privately. We have to investigate and see who opened the cover!"

Ju Tianrui looked at the main road next to him and said:

"What you said is indeed possible, but we should wait until Jiegong and Zhong Jiuling arrive before making a judgment."

"Yeah." Wu Xing nodded.

After a few minutes.

Two cars drove up. As soon as the cars stopped, Xie Changshan got out of the car.

Behind him followed Zhong Jiuling, the person in charge of the ditch and pipeline.

"Director Ju."

"Decommissioning."

The two nodded, and Zhong Jiuling, who was behind Jie Changshan, ran to the cover to check carefully.

After looking at it for a few seconds, he raised his head and said suddenly:

"Chief Engineer, Director Ju, we have sealed this cover tightly and it is also locked. It must have been pried open by someone else."

Zombies ran into the ditch, and he was most responsible.

But he clearly remembered that when he came for inspection the day before yesterday, the cover was still closed.

Ju Tianrui looked at Jie Changshan, whose face was as sinking as water.

"Director Ju, I'll have someone close the water diversion gate first and clean up the zombies inside first."

"Also, please cooperate here and help me investigate who opened the cover. We have sealed the cover. It is obvious that the lock was opened by the survivors."

Ju Tianrui nodded and said:

"Okay, it's okay to help you find the person who opened the cover, but I think you have to consider a problem. What should you do if something like this happens again?"

"Is there any way to seal the entrance of the well so that it is less likely to be opened by others?"

"Also, if there is a problem with the ditch by installing cameras, we can also know who did it."

Jie Changshan nodded and said, "This is natural."

"However, we specially made several hundred kilograms of cement steel plates for the cover. Zombies can't open it at all. Even one person can't open it. It must have been moved by several people at the same time."

"We even put a lock on every cover."

"If the cover is made heavier, it will be inconvenient for us to move it."

"I still have to think about how to reinforce it. Cameras must be installed."

Ju Tianrui watched as another zombie climbed up from the mouth of the well, and was killed by Liu Keming and the others.

Turning his head to look at Jie Changshan:

"OK."

"You go about your business, I'll go investigate and find out who opened the ditch cover."

"After the water on your side of the ditch is drained, notify me and I will send someone to clean out the zombies down there."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Director Ju." Xie Changshan thanked him.

Ju Tianrui waved his hand and said in a serious tone:

"Opening the cover without permission affects the water supply of the trading market. It must be strictly investigated!"

After finishing speaking, he asked Wu Xing to stay and cooperate with Xie Changshan and the others.

Ten minutes.

He returned to Oil City and reported the incident to his third uncle.

With the consent of his third uncle, Ju Tianrui issued a city-wide arrest warrant.

Soon, the latest wanted notice was posted on the bulletin board.

And Ju Tianrui announced this wanted order in the broadcast room.

“Hey, hey, hey—”

"A wanted order is now issued:

As we all know, the Exchange Market Waterworks is a lifeline for all our residents.

But in the past two days, someone unlocked the door privately and removed the manhole cover at the corner of the main road in the east of the trading market.

As a result, zombies entered the ditches at night, causing the ditches to become blocked and posing a huge hidden danger to the stable water supply of the trading market. The zombies in the ditch are being dealt with urgently and the water supply in the ditch can be restored today.

It's just that this behavior affects the water supply of the trading market and threatens the water safety of the majority of residents.

If anyone sees or knows who opened the cover, report it and there will be a reward.

After the report is verified, 10 points will be awarded.

If caught and taken to Building 10 in the North District, he will be rewarded with 30 points!

The criminal characteristics of a wanted person are the ability to skillfully open locks without damaging them.

"

Ju Tianrui's loud voice resounded throughout the Oil City, the trading market, and even spread to the buffer city outside the trading market.

One word stirs up a thousand waves.

There was an uproar in the trading market business district.

Xie Dongming, who was preparing ingredients for the evening barbecue, raised his head and cursed:

“Damn, I’m so full and have nothing to do, it’s so crazy to want to save the water bill!”

Zhu Ziming also echoed:

"Who says it's not? I'm really speechless! One liter of water is only worth 0.001 points, and 100 liters of water is only worth 0.1 points. Oil City spent so much money to build a water plant, and yet someone actually sabotaged it! I really don't know what to think. of!"

"If I knew who this person was, I would have to kill him!"

Pedestrians passing by also talked about it.

"Who is so wicked! We put up the cover. It's okay to put it up. But if we don't put it back down, all the zombies will run in."

"I don't know. I can't figure out who would be so stupid to do such a thankless thing."

"Who says it's not the case? The water plant gives us clean water that we can drink directly, and it's also at such a low price. It's so dry outside now. It's not easy for our trading market to have clean water!"

"Yes, I was involved in the construction of the ditch. It took so many people a month to build it."

The crowd was excited.

For them, when there is no rain for half a year and there is drought everywhere, they only need to spend 0.001 points to buy a liter of water in the trading market.

It’s still clean filtered water, which is so conscientious.

How troublesome it is to get water when they are collecting supplies outside.

Most of the rivers have dried up, and mountain spring water is unthinkable.

They can only risk going to some large reservoirs to get water and risk being bitten and infected by zombies. They also have to boil it before they can drink it, which is extremely troublesome.

But in the trading market, you only need to spend 0.001 points to buy it.

Therefore, most of them choose to come to the trading market to buy water, and then take it out to drink when performing tasks.

In order to facilitate them, the trading market even installed a faucet next to the city gate.

You can get and buy water without going into town.

It is a great convenience for everyone, and everyone in the trading market benefits from this.

It can be said that the person who removed the cover violated the interests of the owners of the trading market and caused public outrage.

Following Ju Tianrui's announcement, people were discussing the matter whether in Oil City, the trading market, or the buffer city construction site.

Everyone has the same attitude, that is, the person who removed the cover must be arrested.

The construction site of the buffer city wall.

Two men were shocked when they heard the sound of the radio.

They looked at each other with regret and fear in their eyes.

A slightly shorter man came close to the tall man. After looking around and seeing that no one was paying attention to them, he whispered:

"You bitch, you fucking killed me. I told you at the time that there was no need to save on the water bill. It doesn't cost you many points to take a shower. What should I do now?"

The tall man gave him a confused look.

"Who knew we could really join the construction site? If I knew I could earn points by working on the construction site, I wouldn't want to save so many points."

"Stop talking. No one should have seen it at that time. Let's be strict with our mouths. As long as we don't say anything, no one will know. You can ask A Biao to be strict with his mouth later."

The short man pointed at the native dog.

He said with a helpless face: "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken advantage of you, and now there is such a big fuss!"

"How did I know there would be such a big fuss! I was just getting some water. Who knows there would be zombies crawling in." The native dog looked unhappy.

"Alas." The short man was speechless.

As of now, all I have to do is keep it a secret.

But fortunately no one saw the three of them move the cover.

But

After all, paper cannot cover the fire.

Someone soon found them.

"He is the leader. This guy, nicknamed Tugou, has a strong ability to pick locks." Zhao Dezhu pointed at Tugou and said to the patrol members.

After the native dog heard these words, his three souls and seven souls were frightened away.

He raised his head and cursed at Zhao Dezhu: "Zhao Dezhu, I didn't offend you, why did you frame me."

Zhao Dezhu snorted twice, "You were not in the dormitory all day yesterday. Where did you go?"

"Aren't you a master thief? If you are so good at picking locks, you must have opened the lock at the wellhead."

The native dog glared hard at Zhao Dezhu,

He quickly said to the patrol:

"Leader, it's not me. I was wronged. Yesterday I was collecting supplies outside. It's really not me. How could I do such a thankless job?"

The patrol leader did not answer his words.

Now we need to screen and arrest the possible suspects first.

"Take him away!"

"Yes." Two patrol members stepped forward and pointed their guns at the native dog.

The native dog originally wanted to resist, but after seeing the black muzzle of the gun, he immediately raised his hand and acted honestly.

"No, it's really not me." Tugou said with aggrieved face.

(Please vote for me. I have a splitting headache today for some reason. I managed to write a chapter. Sorry.) (End of this chapter)
