Chapter 835: The mountain pond was violently transformed into a reservoir

After Li Yu heard Lao Bi's words, he immediately relaxed a lot after being nervous.

Aren't they just zombies? There are zombies even in the Da Zhangshu Base, let alone the Oil City.

However, the issue of food shortage is a more important matter.

So he said to Lao Bi: "As for the zombie problem, you can just send people to clean it up after the typhoon has completely passed. You must remember to wait until the typhoon has completely passed before going out. I believe you can deal with the zombies."

After hearing what Li Yu said, Lao Bi complained in his heart.

Easier said than done.

He looked at the dense zombies outside and his head felt numb.

If the sealing work hadn't been done well enough, zombies would have broken in.

The zombies outside didn't know where they came from, and they were all stacked up to two or three meters high.

Li Yu continued: "As for the food problem, it is estimated that the typhoon will pass over from your side in a week. I will send someone to deliver food by then. Don't worry about this."

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Hearing Li Yu's reply, Lao Bi breathed a sigh of relief.

When he was at the Zhangshu base, he had a stable food supply in the base. In addition, he had not dominated an entire city, so he did not feel any pressure.

But now, the entire oil city is listening to him.

I come to him when I encounter various problems. To be honest, he is quite irritable.

What kind of equipment went out of work came to him all of a sudden, how could he know? Although there were people from the original oil city who could repair it, he still had to arrange this matter.

Food problems, defense problems, and management problems, all kinds of messy things, have caused a lot of gray hair in Lao Bi.

Big camphor tree base.

Just like after a natural disaster or heavy rain, Li Tie and his people collected the corpses of dead zombies after a typhoon, and then threw them into the thermal power boiler in the base to burn them to generate electricity.

As He Chao left the inner city, many collaborators and non-staff personnel were released.

The vehicles of many collaborators are parked in the two urns.

Some vehicles were seriously damaged in this typhoon.

There are also some people in the base who know how to repair cars, some people in the outer city who know how to do it, and some people in the cooperation staff and non-staff who know how to repair cars.

So, a temporary repair shed was simply built outside the base.

In the apocalypse, after experiencing so many natural disasters and storms, it is good to have a vehicle that can run normally.

This is no different than a year or two ago, not long after the apocalypse broke out. At that time, there were vehicles everywhere, and you could easily find some to drive.

It's different now. Many cars outside the base have been soaked in floods and are almost useless.

The main entrance of Dazhangshu Base is full of people coming and going.

Ju Tianrui and others returned some of the items handed over to these collaborators and non-staff personnel one by one.

Qingyang, who got his sword, walked out of the base gate with Dongfeng and the others.

When I saw the scene outside the Da Zhangshu Base, I was stunned on the spot.

Outside the base of the big camphor tree, the woods below seemed to have been cut out of thin air, and the field of vision became much wider.

There were scattered tree branches and leaves everywhere, and there were some messy garbage on the muddy ground.

Dongfeng naturally saw this scene, smiled and shook his head and said: "Although the impact of the previous natural disasters was not so serious, many trees died. Nature's recovery ability is very good. It won't take long, and there will be another Full of life.”

Qingyang glanced at Dongfeng in surprise, feeling a little different from when he first met him.

It seems to have become more open-minded.

Sensing Qingyang's gaze, Dongfeng said: "These days, it's good to be alive. So many people have died along the way, so being alive is already a lucky thing."

Upon hearing this, Qingyang said with emotion: "Yes."

Turning around to see Li Yu on the wall, there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

He opened his mouth and said: "Anyway, the Da Zhangshu Base saved us. It provided us with a place to shelter from such a huge disaster. It is a great merit."

Dongfeng nodded, twisted his neck and said, "Let's go back to where we live. We don't know what our residence looks like now."

ten minutes later.

Dongfeng, Wanbo and Qingyang stood in front of the residence, confused.

The overall structure of the house is still there, but all the windows are gone, the courtyard wall has collapsed, and even the wall of the house has a crack as big as a finger.

"."

"Just clean it up, alas" Dongfeng shook his head, and then said to the people behind him.

Under such a typhoon, it was good that it was not completely reduced to ruins.

At the same time, when other collaborators and non-staff members returned to their residences, they were all stunned for a few seconds just like Dongfeng and the others.

It's just that they are used to it.

Is it difficult to face this situation?

Disaster.

But still have to live.

We can only accept it, bite the bullet and repair the house and rebuild the wall.

Everyone inside and outside the base is busy at this time.

Everyone is busy repairing and trying to restore it to its original appearance.

Natural disasters are ruthless, but human beings have extremely strong willpower. Amid the waves of natural disasters and zombies, they continue to stand up and survive tenaciously.

On the fence.

Li Yu looked at the busy people below and slowly raised his head to see the clear blue sky.

Blue sky and white clouds.

Beautiful and pure, as if nothing had happened.

But when he looked down at the ground, he saw the damage caused by the raging typhoon.

There is a great contrast between the sky and the earth.

On the wall, Yang Tianlong, Li Hang and others were on duty.

Clean up the water blown into the duty room by the typhoon.

The entire wall looks like a spa.

The gray walls are extremely smooth.

About six hundred meters away from the Da Zhangshu base, there is a house halfway up the mountain.

After Zhong Chuchu and the others came back, they were surprised to find that the house was not as badly damaged as they imagined.

"Maybe it's because we're on a leeward slope." Uncle Lan behind Zhong Chuchu said, stroking his beard.

"Well, everyone, pack up your things and repair everything that needs to be repaired, and then we will start doing the task." Zhong Chuchu said to the people behind him.

She was under great pressure, and there were many people in the original oil city.

When we first came here, there were only about twenty people, but after we came back from Oil City, we brought more than a hundred people.

There are more than a hundred people here who want to eat when they open their mouths.

If you don't do tasks, you can't make a living at all.

So she started assigning tasks.

After all, she had also stayed at the Da Zhangshu base for a while. In addition, when she was in Oil City, some of the vehicles seized from the motorcycle gangs, Li Yu gave her a few.

In this typhoon, three vehicles were scrapped, but their parts were dismantled.

The remaining six or seven cars were scattered among more than a hundred of them, which was actually very few.

Compared with other cooperative staff groups, their family background is much weaker.

Soon, Zhong Chuchu handed over the task of collecting materials to Shen Xiaoxiao and Ling Feng, while the rest repaired the house here.

Although there is great pressure on food due to the large number of people, there are also advantages, that is, there is enough labor force.

Compared with other cooperative staff groups or non-staff groups, their group has the largest number of people.

But now when almost all cooperative and non-staff personnel are busy repairing houses, they are able to dedicate manpower to perform tasks.

It can be considered a benefit of having more people.

On the national highway, street trees fell in the middle of the road, and they were also covered with garbage and fallen rocks, blocking the road.

Ling Feng and others who had just left were unable to move forward.

Vehicles cannot pass through.

After Zhong Chuchu learned the news, she informed Li Yu about it.

Li Yu thought for a while, then asked Li Tie, Cannon and the others to drive out the giant loader and clear the road.

Otherwise, if we just rely on non-staff or cooperative personnel, we will have to clean up until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.

Cannon, Li Tie and the others drove the giant loader out of the Da Zhangshu Base. The overweight made it roar on the road.

In front of the loader, a cone-shaped steel plate was installed, and they extended the steel plate to the side.

So when driving a loader, you only need to drive forward slowly, and the stones, garbage, trees and other things in the center of the road will be pushed to both sides of the road.

Amazingly efficient.

This is more than ten times more efficient than moving it away by hand.

Shen Xiaoxiao looked at this giant loader, his eyes shining.

Big guy, domineering.

She has great strength and has different hobbies from ordinary girls. She has liked to watch excavators and forklifts since she was a child, and finds this thing particularly interesting.

She stood there and stared for a long time.

Ling Feng next to him coughed twice and said, "Well, Xiaoxiao, we should follow."

"Oh, yes, yes. Let's go."

After saying that, they got in the car and followed the giant loader.

There are actually some zombies on the road, or on both sides.

Most of them were corpses of zombies, and a small part were zombies who were not dead, but when their bodies were hit on the ground in the typhoon, their bodies were either broken or two parts were smashed.

Some even have only their heads left.

Since these zombies were unable to move, they could not leave during the typhoon, rain, or sunrise and could only stay where they were.

Shen Xiaoxiao and others followed behind. Since the speed of the giant loader itself was very slow, and it had to clear obstacles on the road, the speed was even lower.

Almost as fast as a person walking.

So Shen Xiaoxiao simply got out of the car, carrying a mace, and cleaned up the zombies that were still alive but unable to move and were pushed to both sides of the road.

The mace in her hand was already heavy.

It weighs more than twenty kilograms.

The stick went down one by one, and under the gravity, the immobile zombies on the roadside were like gophers, and their heads were blown off by the hammer.

Cannon, who was controlling the giant loader in the car, saw this scene and said to Li Tie, who was driving the loader: "Look at that fierce man behind."

The speed is very slow and the controls are very simple.

Li Tie turned his head and looked towards where the cannon was pointing.

Phew!

With one hammer blow, the zombie with only half its body left was blown to pieces by Shen Xiaoxiao.

The mace in her hand looked heavy, but she brushed it vigorously.

"I know her, she seems to be called Shen Xiaoxiao, and she is very strong. I don't know who is stronger, her or the eldest brother." Li Tie glanced at it, turned his head, and controlled the giant loader.

Da Pao clicked his tongue and said, "I heard, I heard, that Zhou Weiguo, who is in charge of breeding, seems to be interested in her."

"Who did you listen to? Why didn't I know?" Li Tie asked with some surprise.

"Hehe, I heard from Haoran that day that he saw Zhou Weiguo go out and find Shen Xiaoxiao to give something to him."

Cannon had a gossipy expression on his face.

His face was full of bad humor.

Li Tie said with a smile: "What's the matter? Everyone has their own preferences for carrots and cabbages. This Shen Xiaoxiao has a pretty good temper. It's fine as long as Zhou Weiguo likes him. What's your expression?"

When Da Pao heard this, the joking expression on his face slowly faded away.

He said with some rareness: "Yes, that's good. You are indeed very lucky to be able to meet someone you like in the apocalypse."

Li Tie didn't understand what he meant.

Instead, he continued to operate the giant loader.

Cannon held his gun and looked around, keeping alert.

There is no one stationed outside the base now. The typhoon has just passed and we don’t know what the situation is outside.

Among the big camphor tree base.

In a mountain pond between two mountains.

At this time, Song Min and Li Gang were here, and Lai Dongsheng slowly drove the excavator to the bottom of the ditch.

Then use the shovel of the excavator to slowly shovel away the black soil inside.

The soil was stained black with burned wood chips.

It looks fertile.

The mud is very thick, shovel after shovel, turn over the black soil inside, and dig aside.

This silt sinks to the bottom all year round, and the poop from fish and shrimp usually settles here.

Over the past few decades, it has become extremely fertile.

Since it needs to be sealed with cement underneath, it would be a bit wasteful to bury the soil underneath.

So we simply dig out the soil and transport it to greenhouses, which is also beneficial to the growth of crops.

A forklift was not very fast, so Li Gang sent someone over. The people who came were some of the people who had followed Lao Lu before. They were not very good at controlling this, so they could only assist by carrying the dirt onto the truck.

In the end, Li Yu's uncle Zhang Qinchao said that he could do it, and he actually knew how to operate it himself.

Deng Ben also came over later. He also knew how to dig an excavator.

So with the work of three excavators, the excavation work was much faster.

When they were digging, they tried to break up the mud as much as possible.

These muds are baked overnight and become crispy.

It will fall apart with one hit.

The reason why we have to smash it open is because it is very big when the forklift shovels it down, and there may be zombies inside.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Six or seven trucks worth of fertile soil.

Finally, the bottom of the pond was shoveled clean.

They shoveled down a full 1.5 meters from the bottom of the mountain pond.

Even if the shovel reaches a depth of 1.5 meters, there will be no more zombies down there.

Zombies can't burrow into the soil, so it's normal for them to get stuck in the mud.

Li Gang looked at the bottom of the mountain pond and ditch, and said to Deng Ben and Lai Dongsheng: "Anyway, we have to lay a layer of cement at the back. Let's just flatten the bottom of the ditch. It's not easy to construct the bumpy back."

Deng Ben and the others think this is also the case.

Zhang Qinchao opened the window of the excavator and said to Li Gang: "It's still early anyway. If we want to pave the entire pond with a layer of cement, we might as well repair the walls of the pond. Try to make it as smooth as possible. .”

Li Gang thinks what Zhang Qinchao said makes sense.

Looking at the mountain pond, which became increasingly steep as it went down, Li Gang suddenly had an idea: why not build a step.

It's more convenient to do anything this way.

So I picked up the walkie-talkie to contact Li Yu and told him my thoughts.

Li Yu felt a little interesting when he heard his proposal.

With steps, it is easier to inspect and repair the dam body.

This is usually found in reservoirs.

It looks like it is really going to be built in the direction of the reservoir.

From now on, it can no longer be called a mountain pond, but will be renamed a reservoir.

So I asked Li Gang to follow this direction, let him do it directly if he had an idea, and just do it according to the standards of the reservoir.

Li Gang felt happy after hearing Li Yu's approval.

So he shouted to Zhang Qinchao: "Uncle, eldest brother said yes, let's just follow the standards of the reservoir."

"The standard of the reservoir, hehe, it's okay." Zhang Qinchao smiled, and then controlled the excavator to dig on the wall of the mountain pond.

Naturally, Deng Ben and Lai Dongsheng, who controlled the excavator, also heard it, so they began to repair and level the ground.

During this period, they stopped several times and discussed a more reasonable plan.

Because Li Yu allowed them to work with confidence and boldness, while they were working, a new and interesting idea would come up from time to time, and then they would start a discussion.

Everyone agreed that it was okay and they just did it.

Before I knew it, what was originally just a job of digging up zombies, and what was originally just a matter of paving the floors and walls with cement.

It gradually turned into a relatively large project.

They came up with many ideas, such as building a small platform in the center of the mountain pond, which is equivalent to having a boat in the center that will never be silent.

Wait, wait, wait, there are several such ideas.

And this mountain pond, which was originally only twenty meters deep and only tens of meters in radius, with a total area of ​​less than ten acres, was expanded by them.

The area was expanded to 1.5 times the original size, reaching 15 acres.

The depth has increased to twenty-five meters.

Multiplying the two, the water storage capacity is two or three times the original amount.

With the help of an excavator, this project is not that big.

This mountain pond was dug during the hard times. At that time, they used their hands and hoes to dig, one hoe at a time.

The speed is much slower than that of the excavator.
