Chapter 701 Ten thousand tons of steel, as long as the jackal is here [5000-character chapter]

The flood receded faster in other places, but not so fast along the Changhe River.

Dongfeng and others on Lushan Mountain, after waiting for a long time, finally waited until the flood water level lowered. Although there was still a lot of water at the foot of the mountain, they could take a detour to leave.

A month ago, because Lushan Mountain was close to Poyang Lake, the lower elevations of Lushan Mountain were all flooded.

At times, they all felt like they were on islands in the ocean.

To the east is Poyang Lake, so you can only go from the west.

The vehicle was placed in the parking position on the mountainside, but the back was also flooded and completely scrapped.

Early in the morning, they set out.

Walking on the muddy road, looking at the smoky forest and the high humidity in the air, they felt the beauty of the scenery here.

Purple smoke rises from the incense burner in the sunshine, and you can see the waterfall hanging on the Qianchuan River in the distance. The flying stream plummeted down three thousand feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen into the sky.

This poem is the most famous one describing the beautiful scenery of Lushan Mountain.

However, they walked in a hurry, after a few glances, they were about to continue walking down the mountain, and their destination was very clear.

It is to go to the legendary camphor tree base in Xincheng. Anyway, from the details mentioned by Lao Dong and others, and the reality of the current need to seek asylum, they can only take a gamble.

Soon, they went down the mountain.

Looking at the still turbulent water on the opposite side, Uncle Wan shook his head, and said to Dongfeng: "Boss, we still have to go from the west, the terrain is high there, although we still have to climb mountains and ridges, but it won't be long before we can reach Xiu county."

Dongfeng nodded, and slightly loosened the elastic band of the backpack.

After coming down from the mountain, the temperature has risen by several degrees. In addition, he has been traveling all the time, and his body is sweating all over. Now the sweat on his back is sticking to his back, which is a bit uncomfortable.

"Well, it's okay, let's go! Let's not stay by the water for too long, there are many zombies by the water, it's dangerous!" Dongfeng said, pulling his clothes on the back.

A group of more than twenty people turned and walked towards the west.

This way, according to their plan, after coming down from Lushan Mountain, they will enter Xiuxian County, then bypass Changshi, where there are many zombies, continue south, go to Xinshi, Jishi, and after a long road, We can reach Xincheng.

Everyone was carrying a bag, carrying all kinds of luggage in their hands, and some even used small wheeled trolleys that they didn't know where to pick up, and pushed them creakingly.

A group of them walked in the mountains and forests. The leader, Dongfeng, carried a bag on his back and held a spear in his hand. While leading the way, he watched the surrounding situation vigilantly. If there was any situation, he would notify everyone in time.

In Rao City, not far from Lushan Mountain.

Xu Chengcai and his son came down from Sanqing Mountain. After they bid farewell to Sanqing Palace, they returned to the small house halfway up the mountain.

Looking at the hut that had sheltered them for two months, Xu Chengcai looked at it for a while, then went in and took away the backpack containing the food.

Xiaoyong looked at the room with some reluctance, and said to his father, "Can we not leave here?"

Xu Chengcai looked around and said, "We won't be here for long, and we'll have to leave later."

Xiaoyong looked at the hut, picked up a bag from the ground, then took his father's hand and walked down the mountain together.

In the past two months, they ate a lot of the food left in the warehouse in this hut.

In fact, there aren’t many of those things.

For the rest, Xu Chengcai used a big backpack to carry it on his back, and then let Xiaoyong carry some lighter things, and carried another package in his hand.

The spears and weapons were placed on the sides of the backpack, within easy reach.

The descent was rugged and they were not walking very fast.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, the wooden house they originally lived in had been washed away by the flood, and not a single piece of wood was left.

"Go!" Xu Chengcai tightened Xiaoyong's hand, and the two walked towards the col. They had to cross two mountains before they could cross the river formed after the flood.

In fact, if you row a boat, you can save a lot of time and energy, but in the apocalypse, no one will want to stay in the water.

Zombies in the water are much more agile than zombies on land. Once they enter the water, they will escape death.

You can't escape even if you want to in the water.

Big camphor tree base.

The third outer city is still under construction. In the past few days, Xiao Jun found some zombies during his investigation outside, ranging from a few to fifty or sixty.

After all, more people will attract more zombies, and the fence has not been built yet, so zombies come from all directions.

But fortunately, Xiao Jun and the others found these zombies outside in time and dealt with them. Otherwise, once the zombies broke into the construction site and bit people, it would be even more troublesome.

Li Yu brought Cannon and others outside. On the outskirts of the Third Outer City, Li Yu frowned as he looked at the dozens of zombie corpses in front of him.

Now the first thing before construction every morning is not to turn on the power, but to conduct a comprehensive inspection at the construction site. Yesterday or two days ago, it was found that there were zombies hiding under the foundation under construction at night, and some even hidden in the building. Behind the material, I almost got bitten if I wasn't careful.

Fortunately, the fat man was clever and pulled the person back, and he escaped.

This inspection takes more than half an hour, which is very time-consuming, but it must be done.

The area built in the third outer city is too large. In such a large area, zombies are attracted to it at night and it is easy to hide in it.

"We have to find a way to solve this problem." Li Yu said with a frown.

Xiao Jun, who was standing next to him, said: "Mr. Li, it's okay. We clean it up every morning and wake up. As long as we don't let a zombie get inside."

Li Yu glanced at him and said with satisfaction: "Thank you, let me add some more manpower to you. It's still a bit difficult to guard with only twenty of you. Let's do this. I'll give you ten more people to support you for the time being." . Let’s find a way.”

Xiao Jun did not refuse, nodded and said: "Okay."

After all, these people have used the land of more than one hundred acres to the extreme.

There is definitely a shortage of manpower.

After seeing the situation here, Li Yu immediately said: "There is another way. You can get closer to some construction sites. You can see more clearly from a higher place."

After explaining Xiao Jun, Li Yu returned to the wall.

Seeing Li Yu's frown, the second uncle asked with some confusion: "Did something happen to Xiao Jun?"

Li Yu shook his head and said: "Not yet, I'm just afraid that something will happen later. So many people are busy at the construction site now, and there are always some zombies coming outside. Although Xiao Jun and the others can hold on now, they are afraid that something will happen later. If one or two zombies come in and bite people, we'll be in trouble."

When the second uncle heard this, he also fell silent.

"This is a troublesome matter and must be resolved as soon as possible." The second uncle murmured.

Li Yu walked out of the duty room and looked at the bustling business in the third outer city.

The Da Zhangshu base was originally relatively remote, and the place where it was built was also some distance away from the national highway and connected by rural roads in the middle.

When he was reborn in the apocalypse, Li Yu just wanted to cultivate this three-acre land, hide in the mountains and forests, and isolate himself from the world.

But the subsequent development was beyond his expectation. He did not expect that with the development of the cooperation model, the productivity of the base increased sharply, and the development speed also increased suddenly.

The biggest advantage of this model is that it can use the least food in exchange for the maximum labor cost, and it will not be dragged down by the population.

The base has now been built to the third outer city.

So fast.

Li Yu walked on the wall while looking at the green mountains and forests.

The trees in the mountain forest recovered quickly, and now there was greenery in front of us.

As for the big camphor tree base, these tall trees are the best concealment for the big camphor tree base.

Moreover, trees can also hinder some larger zombie waves.

Um?

Li Yu suddenly looked at these trees, and an idea flashed in his head.

The reason why they are having such a hard time now is because except for the area within a dozen meters where the wall was built, the trees have been cleared, but outside the third outer city, the trees have not been cleared.

Many times, the reason why so many people are required to guard is because of the obstruction of trees.

Many people outside now know about the Da Zhangshu Base.

In this case, there is no need to be secretive anymore.

Li Yu patted his head: "Just cut down all the trees."

Immediately, he quickly ran to the duty room and told his second uncle what he thought.

The second uncle heard this and said with a smile: "We are all trapped by ourselves. You said such a simple method, why didn't we think of it? I think it's okay. We can just collect some more wood to make arrow feathers. We used it last time Quite a lot.”

After the two decided, Li Yu took the cannon, Li Gang and others to the construction site of the Third Outer City.

Gathered everyone and came here.

Li Yu said to everyone:

"In the past two days, some zombies have always appeared in the construction site. Some people have also reported to me that they are always worried that zombies will suddenly appear during construction. I understand everyone's concerns."

"For this reason, I decided to cut down all the trees within the fifty-meter area outside the third outer city. Ding Jiu, aren't there two hanging towers? You put one hanging tower at the highest point in the center, so that you can See further, once zombies appear outside, the people in the hanging tower can report the surrounding situation at any time."

The hanging towers are generally forty to fifty meters long, and some are even hundreds of meters high.

Standing at such a high place, there shouldn't be much of a problem overlooking the surrounding area.

Ding Jiu nodded and said: "Okay, it's just a little troublesome to transport it, but it's okay, I can handle it."

"Okay, let's stop what we are doing for the time being, sharpen our knives and chop wood, and work with fear. Why don't we eliminate the hidden dangers first? Let's all follow suit and clear out all the trees within fifty meters outside the third outer city. Cut it off."

After Li Yu finished speaking, he jumped down from the top of the excavator.

Then he walked over there carrying a chainsaw, and he wanted to go there and do it himself.

Hundreds of people, working in division of labor.

The man who felled the trees, the man who cut it, the man who transported it.

In one morning, all the trees in the 50 meters of the Third Outer City were cut down.

The pine trees in the south do not grow wide. Even the trees that are decades old are only a few dozen centimeters in diameter, so they can be felled very quickly.

After all the trees were cut down, the sight became wider at a glance.

Li Yu said it was fifty meters at the time, but after actual cutting, he felt that the distance was not enough, so he expanded the range to twenty meters.

That is to say, there is not a single tree within 70 meters outside the third outer city wall.

They are all bare tree stumps.

At least I got it done before noon.

Li Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and saw the hanging tower slowly pushing up on the hill in the middle.

The hill in the middle of the Third Outer City is only a few dozen meters high, and is actually no different from a small slope.

If it wasn't too troublesome, Li Yu would have thought of pushing down this small slope.

Later, Ding Jiu suggested that a watchtower could be built on this hillside in the future. Li Yu also thought this idea was good, so he kept it.

He raised his arms and shouted to the many collaborators and non-staff around him: "Thank you for your hard work, we will have extra lunch today!"

"Oh oh oh oh! Thank you Mr. Li!"

"Brother Yu Niubi!"

"It's so cool!"

Zuo Ruxue wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at Li Yu standing high up with a smile on her lips.

Following such an outstanding leader will make you feel lucky.

Li Yu has the kind of charm that makes people willing to follow him.

He is friendly to others without being arrogant, able to endure hardships together, and rushes to the front. He is not lacking in means, but is not pedantic, and his means are vigorous and resolute.

"Perhaps this kind of person can lead everyone to the end in this cruel apocalypse." Zuo Ruxue murmured in her heart.

Guangshi.

Lychee District, suburb.

Guangzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

As the sun set, Guo Peng and others had already filled the ten trucks that drove over, and even the seven or eight larger trucks brought from the industrial park were filled with steel.

Lao Qin, Zhu Xiao and others walked towards the third uncle with weapons in their hands and uncontrollable smiles on their faces.

The third uncle was sitting next to the armored RV, smoking a cigarette and watching the sunset.

Chat with the ants next to you from time to time.

Ant, together with Maozi and Ma Tou who woke up, disposed of the python's body.

The nearly 200 kilograms of python was peeled off, the muscles and bones removed, and the head and tail were chopped off, leaving less than 100 kilograms of meat.

But a hundred pounds of meat is almost enough for people like them.

There is a huge iron basin in the middle. This iron basin was found in a steel factory, and the snake meat is placed on it.

"Maozi, come here and help me lift it up." Ant said to the hat next to him.

"Okay, Brother Ant." Maozi escaped from death, all thanks to Ant who saved them.

The scene where the ant killed the python was so powerful that Maozi instantly admired the ant, so he respected the ant very much.

Let's help move the snake meat to the shelf above the fire.

Ants pour into the clean water source from the RV.

Then he took out the spices he found in the RV from the table next to him.

"Tsk, tsk, ginger, star anise, chicken essence, salt. Okay, don't add the rest, otherwise the taste will be muddy. Snake soup should be delicious. Authentic."

"Bake the rest and eat it. I didn't expect you even have chili powder and cumin powder. It's so extravagant, you rich people."

Ant was busy with his hands while expressing surprise at the seasonings brought out by the third uncle.

The third uncle was sitting on the stool, smiling cheerfully. The setting sun was shining on everyone, and it felt a bit like they were having a barbecue during an outing.

Leisurely and undisciplined.

But this is just an appearance. Guo Peng and the others have just moved the steel.

At this moment, Lao Qin walked up to Third Uncle,

"Captain, good news, we took a look around the entire steel factory, and the warehouses inside have an amazing amount of stock!" Lao Qin Gao said excitedly.

The third uncle was not surprised. He raised his head, looked at Lao Qin and said, "How much is the total?"

"Ten thousand tons!" Lao Qin said excitedly.

You know, the two warehouses Guo Peng and Zhu Xiao first discovered only totaled 2,000 tons.

What is the concept of ten thousand tons?

Before the end of the world, although the annual output value of this steel plant was very high, there was not much inventory.

In fact, before the end of the world, there were 68 steel plants in Guangzhou Province with a total inventory of only 100,000 tons.

It's inventory, not annual output value.

This means that the steel plant where they are located is one of the largest here, otherwise there would not be so much steel inventory.

"It's pretty good." The third uncle said with a smile.

Lao Qin rubbed his shoulders, twitched his nose and sniffed, "It smells so good? Ant, I haven't tasted your craftsmanship for a long time. I must try it today!"

"Sure." Ant straightened up, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

At this moment, he was in a trance, as if he had returned to the past.

"It would be perfect if the jackals and the others were here," the ant murmured.

——

Ten thousand a day for two or three months in a row without any rest.

I'm a little tired today, so this is just one chapter, take your time.

Tomorrow will continue.
