Doomsday housewives: the head of the family does not bow down

Chapter 147
Mu Cang felt a little complicated, "Did you hear us talking at that time?"

Yan Ling: "It has nothing to do with you. I was planning to inquire about those two. They are my husband's closest family members. He is gone. I must continue to protect him."

Mu Cang said with relief: "Your sister-in-law rushed down at that time. There should be a doctor stationed at the Heavy Industry Wheel Club. Perhaps, the worst situation has not been reached."

Yan Ling, "Whether you are dead or alive, you always have to look to know."

Her eyes were calm, only when she mentioned her husband, there was a slight flash of tenderness.

Mu Cang asked again: "Then how did you get there? This bridge has been guarded all the time, so you can't swim across it, right? You saw it just now, there are zombies hidden in this water."

Yan Ling pointed to the construction channel suspended under the main body of Zhenlong Bridge, "The employee handbook contains the operating hours of various types of work. At [-]:[-] in the evening, the construction team will evacuate. At nine o'clock sharp, the two ends of Zhenlong Bridge will Complete shutdown and all staff will return to temporary camps."

Mucang made a shooting gesture, "Including armed forces?"

Yan Ling nodded.

Mu Cang became suspicious, he went to bed early enough, the Zhenlong Bridge is such an important gate, doesn't the heavy industry wheel company arrange people to be on night shift?

She asked: "So, you want to wait until after nine o'clock before sneaking across the bridge?"

Yan Ling shook her head, "No, it's 07:30."

She looked at the hands and saw that it was exactly 07:30. The noisy construction noise stopped instantly and the surroundings became quiet.

There are frogs croaking, insects chirping, and the sound of water waves rolling and slapping against the river bank.

The last ray of light on the horizon disappeared, and darkness instantly enveloped the entire Ruijiang River, leaving only the Zhenlong Bridge with light.

Mu Cang stared unblinkingly at the construction tunnel above. For a while, he saw five people walking out wearing the work clothes of the Heavy Industry Wheel Club, all wearing helmets and masks. After swiping the machine in Gong Wenshu's hand at the end of the bridge, Just got on the bus and left.

She whispered: "Just a few people building the bridge?"

Yan Ling gave her a look that looked retarded, "Others shouldn't live in the factory area."

She pointed to the battlefield opposite Ruijiang, "Live there."

Mu Cang said, "Category III, it turns out they are really doing hard work. I thought you didn't know this, after all, you left early in the morning."

Yan Ling pointed to her ear, "I have a mouth to ask, and an ear to listen."

Mu Cang smiled resentfully, this is a very characterful elder sister, in the family relationship, being suppressed by her mother-in-law like a resentful woman is really outrageous.

After waiting until 45:[-], Yan Ling set off and began to crawl towards the construction passage.

Mu Cang followed her cautiously.

Yan Ling turned around, "Why are you following me? I'm going to collect the corpse. If you can't find your way back, just stay in the bridge hole and wait for me."

Mu Cang pursed his lips and smiled, pretending to be cute and said, "I'm just curious."

Yan Ling rolled her eyes, shook the grass clippings out of her body, ignored the follower Mu Cang, and continued to crawl forward.

Mucang wanted to find out what would happen to those who were sacrificed alive in three days, and if there was any way to break the situation and save this group of people.

Yan Ling climbed to the entrance of the dirty construction passage, with electronic gates above her head and little brothers with guns next to her.

Mu Cang didn't dare to show his breath, and tightly shrunk in Yan Ling's shadow.

There is an old-fashioned large iron lock hanging at the entrance of the construction passage.

Yan Ling took off a U-shaped pin and quietly pried open the lock in a few clicks. It was intact and left no trace.

Mu Cang gave a thumbs up in shock, and mouthed in praise: "Professional!"

Yan Ling rolled her eyes again, no matter how exquisite and detailed the ancient objects are, she has experienced them before, not to mention such a simple lock.

The two were dressed like cats, and their front and rear feet entered the passage.

Mu Cang gently closed the door and hung the big iron lock on it.

This passage is as wide and as long as the Zhenlong Bridge above the head, but the height is very low, about 1.5 meters.

Both Mu Cang and Yan Ling had to twist their necks and bend their backs before they could move forward.

On the way, Mucang picked up an iron pickaxe with two pointed ends and a thread in the middle.

Yan Ling looked at her puzzled, "Don't move things around, there are plenty of them."

Mu Cang: "Self-defense, if you don't need it, I'll pay it back when you come back. Sister Yan, you should find something convenient, self-protection is the most important thing."

Yan Ling was speechless: "You still know how to protect yourself, but don't you know curiosity killed the cat?"

Having said that, she still listened to Mu Cang's suggestion, and pulled out a steel bar and held it in her hand.

Mu Cang looked left and right, and asked, "You are a bridge engineer and a native of Ningcheng, so you should be very familiar with the structure of Zhenlong Bridge, right?"

Yan Ling glanced at her, "What do you want to ask?"

Mu Cang pointed to the construction passage, "Sister Yan, analyze it, are they rebuilding this bridge? Is this bridge really going to collapse?"

Yan Ling: "Someone wants it to collapse, so it must collapse."

Mu Cang asked again: "Why? Isn't the ready-made bridge not good?"

Yan Ling: "Li Wei. You don't understand the power of faith. The more hopeless you are, the more you can destroy the world."

Mu Cang had heard similar words from Simian.

After thinking about it for a while, she asked: "Then after this bridge collapses, will it be a walking rope bridge?"

"Did you see it?" Yan Ling was a little surprised, and felt that this pampered girl was not that stupid.

Mu Cang said honestly: "My friend said it. I didn't see anything."

A look of disappointment flashed across Yan Ling's face, and she explained: "According to the current construction, it is indeed the design of a cable bridge, but each section of the main body of the bridge is equipped with a freely retractable cover plate. can pass."

Mu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly. From the looks of it, the second purpose of destroying Zhenlong Bridge was to guard against someone?
Could it be that they crossed the river for the power of Fangjuancheng?
But these considerations, she did not say it out loud.

The two quickly crossed the river through the construction passage. At the entrance of the passage on the south bank, there was also a big iron lock.

Yan Ling poked her finger through the gap in the fence, and pried open the lock in two or three strokes. After lightly pushing it open, she jumped down the passage first.

Mu Cang followed closely behind.

Coming down from the construction tunnel is the bridge opening on the south bank. The two of them first retreated into the shadow of the bridge opening, and then observed the surrounding situation.

On the road along the river on the south bank, a section of the road near the bridgehead was covered in bright lights, while a section of the road further back blended into the dark night.

Mu Cang was shocked that there were still so many cars waiting in line to cross the bridge.

She wanted to see the situation at the bridgehead, and just as she stretched her neck to tiptoe, she saw Yan Ling jumping into the shallows from the bridge hole, and the splash of water made her face smudged.

Yan Ling hunched over and looked for the river beach, "Where did you see it dropped?"
