Chapter 1489 - 858: The Power of Heavy Artillery!
Shaosh City.Four in the afternoon.
Li Yu and the others completed a full circuit inside the underground military base and discovered not only a large amount of arms but also fuel and food.
The discovery of these resources put everyone in a state of exhilaration.
With these items, they could strengthen the Big Camphor Tree Base’s capabilities to protect themselves in this Doomsday.
Li Yu was not idle; he took down the military radio from the helicopter and used it to contact the Big Camphor Tree Base.
He reported the situation here to Second Uncle and requested that Luo and Old Lv bring some people and drive heavy trucks over.
Second Uncle and Uncle were delighted upon hearing the good news and immediately began making arrangements.
After all, the movement of dozens of vehicles from the Big Camphor Tree Base to Shaosh City, over two to three hundred kilometers, required advance preparation of fuel and personnel weapons.
Additionally, the road from Big Camphor Tree Base to Gan City had been cleared, but the road from Gan City to Shaosh City was not yet passable. To solve this issue, they specifically deployed a giant loader to clear the road and brought Dapao and Li Tie along.
Without the giant loader, facing landslides and fallen rocks on the way, simply using an excavator would be extremely slow.
Especially south of Nanling, where the typhoon impact is much greater than in the north.
Without the giant loader opening the road, Luo and Dapao couldn’t even make it from Big Camphor Tree Base to here in one day.
And it’s just over three hundred kilometers.
After discussing these arrangements with Second Uncle and Uncle at the Big Camphor Tree Base, Uncle immediately passed on the orders and instructed Luo and the others to make preparations to depart early tomorrow.
Inside the Inner City of Big Camphor Tree Base.
After days of constructing the Mountain Pond reservoir, Dapao and Li Tie were thrilled to learn about the completion.
Staying at the base for construction is certainly safe and stable, but they seemed to have grown accustomed to mission life outside.
Being suddenly settled down made them feel uneasy.
Anyway, the Mountain Pond reservoir is finished, now only the dam along the lake needs reinforcement, but this can wait, there’s no rush.
Additionally, Xiao Ding can monitor the dam construction.
Thus, Dapao and the others left the Mountain Pond, busy preparing for tomorrow’s departure to Shaosh City.
....
Gansheng.
Xiu Shui.
At 4:30 in the evening, Xiao Jun and his team arrived at the school designated as the Transfer Station by Li Yu and the others.
Upon reaching the school, they immediately began clearing the zombies inside.
Gunfire erupted, drawing many zombies out from inside.
The fight went on until seven in the evening.
Just like last time, they piled the zombie corpses in the center of the playground to burn them.
As the crackling sounds of burning filled the air, Xiao Jun gazed up at the night sky, silent and expressionless.
....
Shaosh City.
Night descends.
Old Qin discovered a small concrete Guard Post above the arched gate, from which the surroundings could be clearly observed.
Especially the nearby small dirt mound, less than a hundred meters away.
The night was deep.
Li Yu and his group stayed at the military base entrance, lighting a pile of wood, sitting on steel plates cut today, cooking pork canned from the base.
These military canned goods have long shelf lives, still valid for five more years.
As the juices from the canned pork boiled, Li Yu used two pieces of wood to lift the can, waiting for it to cool before eating.
In the distance, Yang Tianlong was inspecting and reinforcing the barbed wire, using a flashlight to check in the quiet environment.
"Tianlong, it’s almost ready, come over to eat." Li Yu called out to Yang Tianlong.
Yang Tianlong had just finished inspecting the last section of barbed wire, proved sturdy when pushed.
Then Yang Tianlong returned with the flashlight.
Today was exhausting, they hadn’t stopped all morning and afternoon, taking turns cutting the gate, finally steady hands now.
Everyone was drenched in sweat, urgently needing water replenishment.
The encounter with a zombie missing half its body by the brook made Yang Tianlong uneasy.
Concerned that zombies upstream might contaminate the water source, they avoided drinking from the brook.
Fortunately, they brought water from the base, and the helicopter’s water tank suffices, eliminating the need for more water.
One less hassle for them.
The group gathered around the fire, with Ant and Old Qin now wielding more advanced guns.
To them, finding a handy gun is more thrilling than winning the lottery.
Right now, they are like sitting atop Baoshan.
Each glance at the military base’s arms brought radiant smiles to their faces.
Everyone’s exerted much energy today, and after a voracious meal, they decided on the night’s watch plan.
Pairs for the watch; individuals easily succumb to drowsiness and overlook blind spots, pairs can effectively address this.
Li Yu paired with Yang Tianlong, Ant paired with Jackals, Third Uncle paired with Old Qin.
