Chapter 130 Han Lake

The caravan sent to Hanhu Lake by the Ning Chamber of Commerce, Zhang Jianyang stayed on the cargo compartment, looking at the scorching sun above his head.

From Shacheng to Hanhu, it can be said to be the most lively business road in the entire Shacheng. There are at least a dozen caravans every day, and sometimes as many as twenty or thirty. Due to the huge number of traffic, caravans usually wait for more caravans at the transit station and then set off.

This also caused the business roads to see caravans that stretched for several kilometers.

The road from Shacheng to Hanhu is not easy to walk. For hundreds of years, countless caravans have stepped on here, which has long made the place disrepair and bumpy.

The most suitable road surface like this is Manniu, who drags long cargo compartments and moves forward.

The shouts between the caravans rang out, and the beast trainers controlled the mangloo, pulled only a small amount of cargo, and headed towards the direction of the dry lake. Sand City was a desolate place and nothing was abundant. It had no value except a large amount of ore and a small amount of crude oil. This also led to the caravans transporting most of the ore and metals.

Fortunately, with the development of the Talmud Basin, a large amount of fine salt appeared on the sand city, making the sand city a transit city with fine salt.

A large amount of fine salt will be transported from the Tum Basin to Shacheng, and then from Shacheng to Hanhu City. Then part of it will be consumed by Hanhu City, and the remaining part will be sold to other cities. It can be said that Hanhu Lake is the last stop for the fine salt to pass through and will be dispersed to more cities.

The road leading to the dry lake in Shacheng is not only sand, but also sand. Occasionally, you will encounter one or two oasis. The caravan usually rests for a while before getting on the road.

At noon, some weeds gradually appeared on the sand dunes, no longer endless yellow.

Zhang Jianyang knew that this should be entering the boundary of Hanhu Lake.

It is not surprising that the people in the caravan have walked this path for dozens or hundreds of times, and they have been extremely familiar with it for a long time.

After more than an hour, I finally couldn't see the shadow of the long yellow sand, but was replaced by patches of green. Zhang Jianyang looked up and saw that the terrain was flat and covered with green grass. Every few hundred meters, rows of thick poplar trees grew. Most of these poplar trees were planted for more than a hundred years. They were planted before the nuclear war. Now they are guarding the land from wind and sand.

After passing these poplar trees that have been continuously for dozens of kilometers, there will be undulating mountains.

These mountains are not high, and can only be described as small hills. The dense forests make people who are used to the scene of the sand city always enjoy the eyes.

The small hills are not large in width, they seem to be a wall separated from the desert.

After crossing the small hills, there is a plain that cannot be seen at first sight. At this time, it is replaced by endless golden yellow, not the desert, but the crops entering the harvest period one by one.

Here is the endless wheat fields, belonging to Hanhu City.

The caravan advanced in the middle of this infinite crop, a straight road with no end, as if connected to the sky. In fact, here, there is still a considerable distance from Hanhu City. As the famous city of Hanhu City, which produces a lot of grain, is just in the center of this plain. The grain it produces is supplied to more than 12 cities and has nearly ten million people, making it the most important city in the entire northwest region.

This is the first time Zhang Jianyang has been to Hanhu Lake in reality, and he has been to the illusion several times.

In Zhang Jianyang's impression, Hanhu City is the calmest city in the northwest, with a population of more than 2 million and has almost never had any history of being attacked by mutant beasts. Not only that, it is also the economic and political center of the entire northwest and the capital city of the northwest province.

Unlike the concentrated population in the sand city, there are many small towns and villages scattered here, and the population is extremely scattered.

The reason why Hanhu City is so safe is mainly related to its geographical location. It is surrounded by cities and is located on a plain. There is almost no animal before the nuclear war, so there is naturally no such thing as mutant beasts. Moreover, Hanhu City is also the city with the least impact of the nuclear war. All the people living here are residents who have been passed down from Hanhu City.

The caravans appearing on the road have long been used to the common practices of those working in the fields.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, there were finally tall buildings standing between the sky and the earth in Hanhu City. Standing up on the cargo compartment, Zhang Jianyang looked up and saw that there were dozens of floor residential buildings beside the golden crop fields. The glass reflected a touch of light in the afternoon sun.

"Captain Zhang, this is Hanhu City." Zhou Hai, the leader, introduced that he thought that it was Zhang Jianyang's first time to visit Hanhu City.

Zhang Jianyang nodded with a smile and said, "There is too different from our Sand City."

Zhou Hai said: "Yes, why would people always say that this is heaven and describe Sand City as hell?"

The caravan finally entered Hanhu City and stopped in the suburbs. Here, all the caravans in Shacheng are located here, and the Ning Chamber of Commerce is located in the middle of this station.

Zhang Jianyang jumped out of the cargo compartment with his bag and looked around. The Chamber of Commerce's station was no different from some factories. I heard that it was renovated by a factory before. Now, the industry has long entered a pause period. The factory was transformed into a warehouse. The grain purchased from Hanhu City was stored here. After the caravan arrived here, he would unload the goods first, then load the grain, and return to Shacheng early the next morning.

This time the captain of the caravan was Zhou Hai, an experienced veteran. I don’t know how many times I have walked this path.

After briefly handing over the caravan affairs, Zhou Hai ran over and said, "Captain Zhang, do you want me to call a car for you?"

Zhang Jianyang smiled and handed him a cigarette and said, "Captain Zhou, you guys are busy, why are you so embarrassed to bother you?" Zhang Jianyang has resigned from the Ning Chamber of Commerce. This trip was just a ride to Hanhu. However, no one knows Zhang Jianyang's legend in the Ning Chamber of Commerce? Even if he resigned, others still call him Team Zhang.

Zhou Hai was not forced. As soon as the caravan arrived, he had a lot of things to be busy with and said, "Okay, Team Zhang, take care of yourself."

He left the Ning Chamber of Commerce's headquarters with a cigarette in his mouth. Outside was a wide main road, two rows of woods had a century-old history, each with thick and tall trees.

Compared to the scarce vehicles in Shacheng, there are many more vehicles in Hanhu Lake. Zhang Jianyang stood on the edge of this main road. In just one or two minutes, more than a dozen cars whistled past. However, most of these cars were mainly trucks, transporting grain into the stations of major chambers of commerce. This was the harvesting period and the busiest period of each chamber of commerce.

When Zhang Jianyang stopped like this, a small yellow van soon appeared in front of Zhang Jianyang. A young man poked his head out: "Brother, are you going to enter the city?"

Zhang Jianyang's outfit is very ordinary, carrying a luggage bag and smoking a cigarette, and he can tell at a glance that he is a worker who came to Hanhu to pay the money.

Due to the lack of crude oil, many agricultural machinery have long stopped using it and artificial harvesting is adopted. When crops in Hanhu Lake mature every year, a large number of workers are needed to harvest. At this time, the tide of work in Hanhu Lake is approaching, and many unemployed people in surrounding cities will flock here to find a half-month job.

It is obvious that in the eyes of this young man, Zhang Jianyang is very consistent with the image of a temporary worker.

This place belongs to the suburbs. It is indeed a distance to walk into the city of Hanhu City. Zhang Jianyang looked around and saw that there were many small areas here. Many of the staff members of the Chamber of Commerce would not stay in the base, but would take this opportunity to relax in the city and return to this morning.

Zhang Jianyang nodded and then got into the small van.

The young man smiled, turned his head, and the small van quickly rushed towards the city.

"The first time I'm here in Hanhu?" The young man seemed to have a lot of words. He kept looking at Zhang Jianyang from the rearview mirror.

Zhang Jianyang smiled and said, "This is the first time I came from Shacheng. It is the first time I have seen so many crops and so many tall buildings."

"That's right, Sand City cannot be compared with our Hanhu City." The young man seemed a little proud. The small van was driving fast and was scattering on the streets.

Soon, the small van stopped at the city center.

Compared with Shacheng, the city center of Hanhu is considered prosperous, completely like a first-tier metropolis. Standing here, it makes people unimaginable that this city has experienced a nuclear war and can be preserved in such a complete manner. In the city center of Shacheng, there are no people in pedestrian streets, and there are crowds of people here.

After getting off the car and paying the fare, the young man handed Zhang Jianyang a business card: "Brother, call me in the future."

Zhang Jianyang took it, glanced a few times, then put it in his pocket, and said, "No problem, I'll call you if you want a car in the future."

The young man drove away again and disappeared soon.

It's just as time to get off work, the streets are becoming lively. A large number of motorcycles, electric vehicles and bicycles are crowded with the streets. When facing this scene, cars can only slow down and keep honking. For a moment, the hustle and bustle of the whole city sweep away the silence before, which makes people feel normal.

There are not many hotels in the city center, only a few.

Zhang Jianyang was not picky either. He chose a good looking one, opened a room, and put down his luggage.

In fact, Hanhu Lake is just a transit station for Zhang Jianyang. You can stay for one night for the time being and leave tomorrow morning.
