Apocalypse Rebirth: 3000 million won at the beginning

Chapter 1715 The last leg of the journey!

night.

The oil city is still busy.

After Zhong Chuchu, Ding Meng and others moved the food from the transport team's trucks to the underground warehouse,

Zuo Ruxue, Xiao Hu and others immediately drove the truck to the storage area where the sealed oil was stored, and quickly loaded the oil barrels that had been prepared onto the truck.

In Uncle San’s office.

Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu come in.

The two were actually a little nervous and conflicted because they were unsure whether to continue transporting oil to the headquarters base.

Although the strong wind has stopped now, heavy snow may fall at any time.

If they return to the headquarters base with the convoy, they will take certain risks.

If it snows on the way back, it will be difficult to travel.

However, compared to the journey from the North to Oil City, it is much safer to return to the headquarters base from Oil City.

At least I can spend the night at the Wu City military base, instead of spending the whole night in fear like I did last night in An City.

However, in the long run, it is definitely safer to survive the ice disaster at the headquarters base.

The headquarters base is stronger than staying in the oil city in terms of defense and food.

Uncle San sat on a chair, looked at the two of them and asked:

"I asked you to come here mainly to see what you think. Do you want to lead the team back to the headquarters base?"

Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu looked at each other, and Zuo Ruxue spoke first:
"I will follow the minister's arrangements."

Xiao Hu nodded and said, "It's the same for me. If I'm asked to go back, I'll go back. If I'm asked to stay, I'll stay. I don't care."

After a few seconds of silence, Uncle San said:
"I am asking you what you think. The base respects your opinions this time. If you want to stay, stay in Oil City and return to the headquarters base after this natural disaster. If you want to return to the headquarters base as soon as possible, you can go back at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Xiao Hu looked at Zuo Ruxue, "Old Zuo, do you want to go back?"

Zuo Ruxue looked conflicted.

Because when she just came over from Zhong Chuchu's place, she knew that there was another batch of equipment to be sent to the headquarters base this time, and the headquarters base just needed it.

This batch of equipment was collected by the survivors through the trade market mission hall.

For a long time, the Dazhangshu base has mainly supplied food, ammunition and human support to the oil city.

The Oil City searches through the survivors for materials, equipment and other supplies needed for various headquarters and bases, as well as the most critical oil.

Oil is not only used as fuel for cars, but can also be used in other areas.

Such as covering chemical raw materials, building materials and other fields.

Specifically, take plastics for example. Almost all plastic products are derivatives of petroleum.

Another example is synthetic rubber, which is widely used in tires, sports equipment, wires and cables, etc.

In the pharmaceutical and food industries, petroleum is used to make fertilizers and pesticides, and is involved in food preservation, dyeing and flavoring.

Then there are lubricating oil and grease, which are used for machine lubrication to ensure the normal operation of the machinery.

There are many machines in the Dazhangshu base, the most critical of which is the mobile gate knife, which must be lubricated regularly to ensure the normal operation of the gate knife.

If it is only used as fuel, the current reserves at the Dazhangshu base are sufficient for the time being.

To date, the electrification rate of vehicles at the Dazhangshu base has reached 60 percent.

Most short and medium distance transport is done by electric trucks and vans.

The electricity generated by the zombie generator in the big camphor tree can meet the current electricity demand.

Zuo Ruxue knew that the reason why the minister asked her and Xiao Hu to make a choice was because of the uncertainty on the return journey.

But we don’t want to force them to return and risk a blizzard that could hit at any time.

So, let them choose for themselves.

After thinking for a moment, Zuo Ruxue took a deep breath and said:

"I think I can go back."

Xiao Hu smiled when he heard this, "Okay, then let's go back to the headquarters base."

After getting the answers from the two, Uncle San nodded and said:
"OK, then you should have a good rest tonight and return to the headquarters base early tomorrow morning."

"Don't worry about the loading. I'll have Zhong Chuchu and the others take care of it overnight."

"Also, just in case, I'll send you an extra snowplow. If it snows, you can use the snowplow to clear the road."

"Okay, Minister." They said in unison.

Snowplows have been around in the oil city for a long time.

But there were only six, and later ten more were modified using a forklift.

Snowplows and bulldozers are very similar in appearance, but their specific functions are slightly different.

Modification is not complicated.

The maximum speed of the forklift can reach 60 kilometers per hour, which can keep up with the fleet.

After confirming this matter, Uncle San said to the two of them:

"That's it, you guys go down and rest early."

"Yes, Minister."

Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu turned around and left Uncle San's office.

After Zuo Ruxue left her uncle's office, she did not immediately return to her residence to rest.

Instead, he went to the oil warehouse to find Zhong Chuchu.

Zhong Chuchu saw her coming back and asked curiously:
"Are you sure? Are you going back?"

Zuo Ruxue nodded and said, "Go back."

"The minister asked us to make our own choice, and Xiao Hu and I both chose to go back."

Zhong Chuchu pondered for a moment and then said:
"It's better to go back. Staying at the headquarters is better than staying here. No matter what time it is over there, at least there will be no risk of internal chaos."

"I heard there is a large migration plan?" Zuo Ruxue asked.

"Ah."

Zhong Chuchu continued, "However, it will not be activated until the icy disaster is over."

"I just found out about this, too. It's said that this is to balance the population of Oil City and the headquarters base, to reduce the population pressure in Oil City, and to promote the development of the headquarters base."

"Okay, then I'll leave and leave this to you." Zuo Ruxue said.

"Okay, don't worry, I'll have the maintenance team come over for the vehicle."

"Ah."

The next day.

After a night's rest, Zuo Ruxue and others felt much better when they woke up in the morning.

Zhong Chuchu, Ding Meng and others stayed up all night.

They hurriedly loaded the supplies that were to be sent to the headquarters base onto the truck.

They also repaired the vehicle and fixed the ultraviolet lamp that had been damaged by a wall-climbing zombie.

All vehicles were fully fueled.

After meeting their uncle, Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu set off on time at eight o'clock in the morning.

At their speed of 50 kilometers per hour, it would only take them six hours to reach the Wu City military base, probably between two and three in the afternoon.

With such ample time, even if there are some minor setbacks on the road, they can still arrive in Wu City before nightfall.

In oil city.

Most of the manpower was allocated to laying heating pipes. In the residential buildings of the trading market, more than 10,000 people were busy with this task. The pipes were laid at an extremely fast speed, with scattered workers working at the same time. The pipeline laying process was completed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Since there has been no heavy snow today, construction in the buffer city is still in progress.

buffer city.

A pickup truck pulled up to the construction site.

Xie Changshan got off the car and pointed to the east gate and said:

"The transport convoy has left, so let's seal the four gates in the east, west, south and north!"

Liu Yu hesitated. "Should we seal them all off? There are new survivors coming in every day. If we seal them off, they won't be able to come in."

Xie Changshan thought for a moment and said:

"Then seal the three gates in the west, north and south first. Use stones and sand to pour over them. This will be the fastest way. As for the east gate, prepare the corresponding materials as well. Once it snows, seal it immediately."

"Okay." Liu Yu nodded.

Now the walls of the buffer city have all been built to 6 meters. If the four gates are closed, new survivors from outside will definitely not be able to get in.

There were also some people who had gone out to do long-distance missions a long time ago and had not yet returned. If the gate was sealed, they could only lower a rope down to let them climb in.

The gate was closed very quickly.

There are four gates, the tallest is only eight meters high and the width is about ten meters.

They drove trucks over and dumped hundreds of cubic meters of rocks and sand, quickly sealing the three gates.

When it snows, in a cold and freezing environment, if the snow accumulates for more than three days, the surface of the sand and stones will be covered with a thick layer of ice, which will be very solid.

Three o'clock in the evening.

Zuo Ruxue and his team arrived at the Wu City military base on time.

Song Qi and his men opened the gate of the military base to welcome them.

Song Qi and others stayed in this military base, and rarely did people from the headquarters base come.

Generally, I can see Zuo Ruxue and the others once every two weeks.

Meeting Zuo Ruxue and the others meant that they had already gone to Oil City, then went from Oil City to the Northern Border, then returned to Oil City from the Northern Border, and then returned to the headquarters base from Oil City.

After these few months, the cycle is about two weeks, and Zuo Ruxue and her team are able to run through the three places and circulate the supplies among the three places.

However, this time Zuo Ruxue and the others arrived a few days earlier than before.

"I thought you wouldn't come!" Li Qi said, holding Zuo Ruxue's hand.

The two of them have known each other for a long time and are very good friends.

Zuo Ruxue smiled and said, "Of course I have to come. I will return to the headquarters base tomorrow and will not come out. I can finally rest for a while."

Li Qi asked curiously:
"Are you tired of transporting goods?"

"Forehead"

Zuo Ruxue looked at Li Qi and said with interest:
"Why don't you wait until someone takes over your garrison duties and join the transport brigade? We also need to recruit another transport brigade."

"Forget it. I feel tired seeing you become so thin." Li Qi waved her hand and said.

He complained bitterly:

"It's so boring to be in a military base. I feel like I'm going to get depressed staying underground every day."

Zuo Ruxue rolled her eyes and pointed at the ping-pong table next to her and said:
"Your conditions are pretty good. When Xiao Hu and I were stationed here during the last thunderstorm, there was no entertainment at all. You brought so many books and downloaded so many videos. Don't be too proud."

Li Qi asked with some envy:
"You guys have a lot of contribution points for transporting goods outside. You are almost level 1, right?"

"I'm still stuck here as a Level 2 personnel, neither going up nor down. Sigh."

Zuo Ruxue sighed and said:
"Working in the transport team is not so much about physical fatigue as it is about mental fatigue."

"You! You still think too much. You know the situation of our base. If you want to upgrade quickly, you can only make contributions and run to where there is danger."

"If you work hard enough and let the base see your efforts, they will see it naturally."

"Okay, come on, I'll take you to the bathroom. We renovated the bathroom and made a bathing room." Li Qi pulled Zuo Ruxue towards the accommodation area.

Zuo Ruxue heard this and said in amazement:

"You guys are really good at making things happen. You even built a bathtub."

"I have nothing to do here every day, so I'll try to improve my living environment. I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway."

There is no shortage of water in the Wu City military base.

Before the end of the world, when the designers were building this military base, they had thought about how to obtain water.

Excavation has opened up groundwater, creating an abundant water source.

Zuo Ruxue followed Li Qi to the bathroom and saw a pool built by Li Qi and his team. They used the excess heat from the boiler to boil water here.

There are two bathrooms built here, neither of which is very large, with one room only 20 square meters.

The bathing pool is only about six square meters.

After a comfortable bath, Li Qi brought her some cold bean sprouts and pork stewed with mushrooms.

The pork here is already available in the military base, and it is canned pork for individual combat rations.

As for mushrooms and bean sprouts, they are all grown by Li Qi and his team here.

In addition to these, they even have vegetables such as garlic sprouts, which can grow in a shady environment.

They planted a lot of these vegetables in their homes.

Although they were able to get some dehydrated vegetables sent by Zuo Ruxue and others from the headquarters, after a long time, they all wanted to eat fresh vegetables.

Later, Li Qi entrusted Zuo Ruxue to ask them to bring some seeds for help, and they began to plant them in the military base.

They did gain something, as they were able to eat some fresh vegetables when they were away from the camphor tree base.

After a comfortable night's rest.

Early the next morning.

The gate of the military base.

humming-

The lights on the ceiling came on. Li Qi observed the surveillance camera for a while. After seeing that there were no zombies outside, he shouted to Meng Tian:

"Sweetheart, open the door."

Meng Tian pushed the switch upwards.

slam-la-

The gate of the military base slowly opened, and the gray light from outside shone in.

On both sides of the vehicle, Song Qi and others immediately rushed out with guns in hand in case any zombies suddenly appeared outside.

After Song Qi and others ran out of the military base, they dispersed on both sides of the gate.

He looked around and immediately notified Li Qi, Zuo Ruxue and others if there was any sign of trouble.

The sky is gloomy now, and there are a lot more zombies outside than before.

What's more, the gate of their military base was built at the bottom of a mountain.

Above the gate of the military base is the entrance to a national defense field science and technology park. There is a large platform where zombies may come down.

Seeing the door open, Zuo Ruxue and Xiao Hu didn't dare to waste time and climbed into the car immediately.

The vehicle started quickly.

Zuo Ruxue opened the car window and waved to Li Qi in the back.

Li Qi stared at the back of the car leaving, stunned.

After Zuo Ruxue and the others left, it would probably take several months or even a year for Li Qi to see them again.

Ten minutes later.

The convoy drove out of the gate of the military base.

Outside, Song Qi and his team also killed dozens of zombies who came over after hearing the noise.

zizi——

"Song Qi, they're gone, come back quickly."

Hearing Li Qi's voice on the intercom, Song Qi quickly shouted to the team members around him:
"withdraw!"

About twenty combatants quickly ran towards the gate of the military base.

When the last person came in, Meng Tian pulled down the power switch of the gate.

Boom boom boom——

The door slowly fell.

Song Qi and others stood where they were and did not leave.

They watched quietly as the gate gradually fell and the scene outside slowly disappeared.

Staring at the outside world with some greed.

It will probably take a long time for it to close next time.

Boom!
When the door was completely closed, Song Qi remained where he was, in a daze for a while.

The less than twenty minutes I just ran away seemed like a dream.

The air outside is fresher and the view is wider.

They are like prisoners in prison, running outside to get some fresh air at certain times.

People are always like this, envying each other.

The more you can't get, the more you want it.

Zuo Ruxue envied Li Qi and their family's safety and stability, while Li Qi and their family envied Zuo Ruxue and their family because they could breathe fresh air and have freedom outside.

But no matter what time, there is nothing that is 100% perfect and can satisfy people's wishes.
