Corrupted Nation

After sorting out the supplies and abandoning the rubber boat, Xuedan led the team through the train forest, while Lin Wu stayed in the squadron to protect the old, weak, sick and disabled. The most important material in the brigade is of course the generator. In this current situation, only the knife and stone, which have not yet recovered, can be responsible for it. This is not an easy task. Some rail trains are relatively close to each other, with only a gap of more than one meter, and are paved with small stones. Besides, the two of them couldn't keep up with the physical strength, so they had to rest for a while after carrying it dozens of meters.

As the team slowly advanced, Shana, who was supported by Xiaowen, felt sincerely ashamed.

Considering the objective situation, the team did not collect the carpets for the time being, but only took away some soaked tissues, instant noodles and biscuits.

There was also a zombie attack on the road. Fortunately, the soldier Xuedan was an experienced man and the zombies did not succeed. But overall, this road is still very safe. After all, it is the road that Lin Wu and the others have traveled several times.

When the team arrived at the rickshaw, everyone could finally rest for a while. Lin Wu bumped into Shana's shoulder. Shana was a little embarrassed, but she still stood up and said: "Stone, knife, Su Shi and I will go first, and put away as many things as possible." Get on the rickshaw. Lin Wu will arrange the others."

Lin Wu said: "Xiao Wen and Lin Meng stay here and stay on guard. Theoretically there is no danger, but don't take it lightly. No chatting is allowed and keep silent. Xuedan, let's go back and transport another batch of supplies. We need to get a few Carpet, otherwise it will be difficult to rest at night.”

Lin Mengdao: "We were not injured."

Xiaowen nodded: "We can help."

"Then you put all the backpacks where they are." Lin Wu said: "Shana, you organize the supplies and take away as many things as possible."

"good."

Lin Wu and the others walked three kilometers to their destination to collect the wet carpet. Depending on the situation, the carpet would have to be left in the sun for another day. They rolled up the carpet and tied it tightly, each taking two rolls. A five-meter by five-meter carpet is definitely difficult to handle, but it can be dragged around. Although there will be a lot of noise, there are no injuries in the team. Lin Wu and Xue Dan are also familiar with the situation around the route, so there is no big problem.

Four people take the carpet to the rickshaw. Xiao Dao was waiting beside the rickshaw on the return journey. Xiao Dao took away Lin Meng, Xiao Wen and some supplies. Lin Wu and Xue Dan made another trip. They used backpacks to transport a batch of coal back and tried to process it to see if it could be used as fuel.

The distance from the shelter to the rickshaw terminal is nearly two kilometers. The distance from the rickshaw terminal to the material train is about three kilometers. By the time Lin Wu and Xue Dan returned to the end of the rickshaw, it was already past four in the afternoon. This time it was Xiao Wu who came to pick up Lin Wu and Xue Dan.

The three of them loaded the supplies onto the rickshaw and took their respective positions. When they were about to roll it up, they all looked to the northeast. I saw three helicopters coming from the northeast, and the helicopters flew to the logistics center more than ten kilometers away from them. This logistics center is the largest logistics center in Houtian City. Materials transported by sea and rail to Houtian City will be sent to this logistics center for sorting, and then transported to various parts of the city by trucks or trucks.

Lin Wu climbed up a 20-meter-high tower crane and put down the rope. Xiao Wu and Xue Dan went up together to watch the excitement. The distance was relatively far, and even though the view was not very clear, one could only clearly see a helicopter attacking the ground back and forth. Soon, 12 soldiers descended from two other helicopters, formed a battle line, and opened fire with automatic rifles.

After the incident, all three helicopters landed, and the 12 soldiers were divided into three groups: one assault group, one group guard, and one group searching for supplies. About 10 minutes later, two helicopters transported goods and left. Another transport helicopter flew from a distance and slowly landed in the open space of the logistics park. The back door of the large transport helicopter opened, and two forklifts drove out.

Soldiers began to take up high ground and arrange lights. Judging from their behavior, it is definitely not as simple as a raid. They should be planning to stay in the logistics park for a short period of time until all usable materials are removed.

Xiao Wudao: "After looting the logistics center, the next target is the distribution center. They probably won't like the survivors."

Lin Wu said with relief: "The upper distribution center is enough for them to collect. Not only can they eliminate the zombies in the upper distribution center, but they can also lure away the zombies in the lower distribution center." The upper distribution center refers to the upper part of the gourd, and Lin Wu and his friends are active in the area. It's the lower part of the gourd.

Xuedan had his own opinion and said: "Even if we are discovered by soldiers, they may not attack us. Even if there are rebels in the east base, the rebels are still a disciplined team after all. What we should be more worried about are the stragglers."

"I think during the outbreak of the plague, they will not enter the city, including here. But for safety, we also have to do some work." Lin Wu said: "Go home, go back to the home where there is nothing."

Xiao Wu asked with a bit of ridicule: "Since there is nothing, how can it be home?"

Xuedan: "Because there are people, and a place with family is home."

"That's a good answer. I'll add a few stones to your toes tonight."

The three of them returned to the ground talking and laughing, got on the rickshaw, and returned to the shelter in the company of the setting sun.

…

The railway bridge base is now full of old, weak, sick and disabled people, but everyone still wants to do something. After all, the base is too poor.

Three elements of survival: water, fire and shelter. These three east-west railway bridge bases are not lacking, or are not lacking for the time being. Lin Wu rarely chatted with Shitou about business matters for a few minutes, and then held a dinner meeting on instant noodles.

Shitou began to assign positions, and Shana was appointed as general manager. Lin Wu is the manager of the business department, and Lin Meng and Xiao Wu are the deputy managers of the business department. Xuedan is the manager of the resources department, and Su Shi is the deputy manager of the resources department. Xiaodao is the manager of the internal affairs department, and Shitou is the deputy manager of the internal affairs department. Xiaowen is the manager of the logistics department.

Shana is in charge of coordinating affairs, such as temporarily adjusting personnel, assisting other departments, making statistics and inventory of the company's assets, and planning the company's future development direction.

The business department is responsible for searching and moving materials, commonly known as looting.

The Ministry of Resources is responsible for infrastructure construction and is responsible for water, fire, electricity and other work.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs is responsible for the overall construction of the base, such as building a better campfire platform, setting up cooking equipment, providing more comfortable and warm sleeping bunks for everyone, as well as repelling mosquitoes, washing and drying clothes at the base.

The logistics department is responsible for managing casualties.

Those who are sick should recover first, and those who are injured should recover first. If there is a shortage of manpower, just tell Shana and Shana will make overall arrangements. In this way, many tasks that need to be done will be assigned to the department.

Xiaodao and Shitou discussed using tarps to build a dressing room in Car No. 11, and then build two toilets near Car No. 12 and the locomotive. The locomotive is towards the southwest mountain, and the current bonfire is at the rear of the train, which is the No. 12 carriage.

Xuedan and Su Shi communicated through pen and paper and planned to solve the fuel problem of the generator first. The generator at the base is a diesel-gasoline generator. There are a large number of small cars at the distribution center, as well as large trucks parked near the warehouse.

Although some vehicles and small cars were washed away by the floods, some were also stuck. The large trucks basically didn't move much.

We have talked before about whether water will enter the fuel tank of a water-soaked truck. Shitou believes that assuming the fuel tank is full, even if water pours back into the fuel tank through the fuel delivery pipe after being soaked in water, the amount of water entering the fuel tank will be very limited. Even if water and oil are mixed, the fuel can still be used as long as the water ratio is not too high.

Of course, the fuel storage problem must be solved first.

Xiaowen from the logistics department seems to have the easiest job, but he is also the most stressed. After several days of hard work, the drug consumption was large, especially the antibiotic stock was only 30% of the original, and there are still many patients in the team. It’s hard for a good woman to make a meal without rice, so Xiaowen applied to temporarily join the sales department to carry out the search for medical supplies.

The job of the sales department is the most important, the most dangerous, and the easiest. It is easy because they get what they get, there are no business indicators, and there is not much business pressure. In addition, Lin Wu is very experienced in searching, and both Xiao Wu and Lin Wu have excellent combat capabilities, which are enough to cope with various situations.

However, other departments have sent requests for resources to the business department, which has put some pressure on Lin Meng and Xiao Wu. Pressure has no effect on Lin Wu. The demand for resources can at most change Lin Wu's search direction, but cannot change Lin Wu's work attitude. As long as no one died, Lin Wu would stick to his own policy: let everything happen. No matter how poor or miserable you are, you still have to fish when you need to.

This night was difficult, the floor was cold, and there was a lack of dry clothes and bedding. The lack of lighting makes it extremely inconvenient to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. It's embarrassing to deal with it nearby. After all, fairies' excrement and urine are not fragrant. I feel scared when I run far away. Therefore, except for heartless people like Lin Wu, most people had trouble falling asleep.

The railway bridge has a superior geographical environment. There is only one road, and the nearest zombie is 1 kilometer away. There is no need to arrange night watch personnel.

…

Early in the morning, Xiao Wen took the patients' temperatures while still making instant noodles. Shi Shi's fever was completely gone, but his body was too weak and his hands were shaking. Su Shi regained some of his hearing. Xiaodao's condition is similar to that of Shitou, and his body is still relatively weak. Others do not have fever. Shana's left ankle is swollen like a big meat bun. She cannot do strenuous exercise recently. She can only move around with the help of crutches, chairs or companions. Of course, she can also crawl.

Shana's instruction to the business department was to find out what resources the resource train had. Currently, Lin Wu and the others had only explored 20% of the resource train.

After breakfast, the three people from the business department, armed with pistols, daggers and melee weapons, set off together with Xiaowen from the logistics department and headed to the distribution center via rickshaw.

The railway bridge was about 30 meters higher than the distribution center. Halfway to the distribution center, Lin Wu saw soldiers stationed at the logistics center.

The day's work went relatively smoothly. The sales department inspected 70% of the carriages, but gained little.

The biggest harvest was the medical kits found in several locomotives, but they were mainly for emergency medical treatment. Most of them contained hemostatic bandages and fracture stents for trauma, insulin, asthma sprays, and first-aid medicines for heart disease. There were only a few basic medicines such as cephalosporins. And little.

In addition to the medical kit, what resources are there?

The first category is gondolas and flat cars, and the main materials are coal, logs, automobiles, steel, etc. One type is grain trucks, which carry grain in bulk, including unprocessed rice and unhulled wheat, as well as preliminarily processed rice, corn, etc. Without exception, all the food was inedible and smelled rotten, which attracted wild dogs and rats. Although we don’t know how they survived the flood, they just appeared.

The second category is fresh food and refrigerated goods compartments with temperature adjustment. Don’t think about it, it’s all useless. The smell of rotten grain was acceptable, but the smell of these carriages was rancid and fishy. Even if they wore masks to filter it out, it still made several people gag.

The third category is large machinery transported in concave-bottomed flat cars. Don’t even think about it. Not to mention that they cannot be transported without energy to drive them.

The fourth category of debris is Lin Wu and the others’ main target. Unfortunately, as roads become more and more developed, resources that are beneficial to the shelter are usually transported by road. Among the materials found were books, plates, marble, cement, rubber, tires, etc. From this we can see how lucky Lin Wu and the others were in finding instant noodles on the first day.

After reporting to Shana, Shana asked the business department to take a few rolls of water pipes home and target LTL freight tomorrow. LTL freight comes in all varieties, so you’re sure to find something useful. However, the two LTL freight railway lines are right next to the zombie train. The closest distance is less than 8 meters, which is extremely dangerous.

Returning to the base in the evening, Lin Wu discovered some changes in the base. First, two toilets and changing rooms built with tarpaulins were put into use. The toilets are located at the front of the car and in the parking space. They drop straight from the sky and discharge directly into the river. It is very enjoyable to think about it.

The progress of the resources department was average. The stones passed through several puddles and filtered enough fresh water for the base to consume for one day. Xue Dan walked around under the bridge and in the nearby area, only to find a white plastic bucket with a capacity of 40 liters. The bottom was cracked and had been repaired with fire and plastic. It seemed that there was no big problem.

Tomorrow, the Resources Department will use the water pipes brought back by the Sales Department to divert fresh water from the waterfall. Due to the small height difference, this project cannot be completed in a day or two.

The biggest good news is that all the carpets have been dried, so everyone can sleep more comfortably tonight.

Lin Wu: "Lin Meng will be transferred to the Resources Department tomorrow to help Shitou collect water."

Lin Meng asked: "Is it because I run slowly?"

Lin Wu: "Yes."

Lin Meng was sad: "Aren't you even covering it up now?"

Lin Wu: "Yes."

Lin Meng angrily raised her hand to hit Lin Wu, but Lin Wu counterattacked and hit her on the head before calming down. The atmosphere was not cheerful because of Shuanglin's fight. After everyone laughed, they were all eating noodles while discussing and thinking about matters in their own departments.

Snow Egg and Shitou were discussing filters and dams. They needed to divert water at the waterfall, install filters, and fix water pipe heads. Due to the lack of joints and waterproof tape, how to take over is also a problem they face. Not only do heavy objects need to be used to fix the water pipes, but in order to avoid being eaten by rodents, more than 100 meters of the waterfall area have to be dug to bury the pipes.

Whether this project can be completed is still unknown.

Shitou and Xiaodao, members of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, temporarily joined the Resources Department to solve the fire and water problems of the base first. Xiaowen from the logistics department, under Xiaowu's guidance, used foam to practice acupuncture, which made everyone feel pain.

At this moment, the satellite phone rang, and everyone immediately fell silent.
