Chapter 116: Picking up the train (2)

Xie Tian opened the penultimate box car. After the door was opened, Xie Tian smelled a fragrance. The cartons inside were all kinds of tea produced in Fujian and Zhejiang. Half of the whole car was piled up, but the other half did not store other supplies. Tea was of some use, and Xie Tian was not disappointed. After all, tea can supplement vitamins and some plant alkaloids and trace elements, and is an absolute healthy drink. Such a large amount of tea can be distributed to all survivors. Without eating vegetables, it can also alleviate everyone's urgent shortage of vitamins.

However, the materials still need to be controlled. Even if they are distributed to survivors for free, they cannot be distributed by themselves at will. So Xie Tian decided to take all of these teas back and be managed and distributed uniformly by the Logistics Department.

The last box car was there. Xie Tian wanted to leave some suspense for himself, but when he arrived, this suspense no longer existed. Xie Tian passed through the dry goods market countless times, and the strong smell of the sea and the pungent smell of the big ingredients was fresh in his memory. After the car door was opened, it was really like this. There were all kinds of dry goods, including kelp, fungus, mushrooms, seaweed, shrimp, jellyfish, etc., as well as some large ingredients such as pepper, chili, fennel, cinnamon, etc., with a complete variety. Although he could not tolerate this smell, this kind of material was also very practical.

Although dry goods cannot replace staple food, they are also a kind of food. The weight of dry goods will increase a lot after being soaked. So much dry goods can be regarded as a large amount of supplies, which can enrich the current types of food. After all, in addition to grain, there are canned foods, which is really monotonous and boring. With these things, combined with the cooking oils I found before, cooking is not a problem.

A truck of wine, half a truck of tea, and a truck of dry goods, the harvest was quite rich. There were more than a dozen flat trucks loaded with large containers that were not checked. I don’t know what would be loaded in those containers.

Xie Tian ordered the soldiers to unload the tea leaves first and work, and specifically told them to stack them separately so that they would not taste skewers. Other survivors looked at each other, and some people began to shout from afar: "Leader, give two taels of kelp, give the bottle of bar, and you can also make a cold dish and drink two glasses of cold dishes at night."

Xie Tian smiled slightly and said loudly: "Today, these things are worthy of each other. Although there will not be too many, they are somewhat of the wishes of the safe zone."

A burst of cheers broke out in the crowd. After the soldiers piled up the supplies, they waited for the pickup truck to transport them away. Xie Tian began to think about the more than ten containers. Lao Cheng's words at this time made Xie Tian's confidence increase: "In railway transportation, containers are basically more expensive things."

"The wine and tea are not cheap," Xie Tian said, "How come those who have gotten the box car treatment?"

"This also has something to do with the shipper." Lao Cheng smiled and said, "You are like those wines, 80% of them are shipped to the port and then shipped to the freight station to load on the ground. These are hard to say. As for what are loaded in those containers, you can open them and take a look?"

Xie Tian nodded, then rushed to the flat car loading the container. First, he unfixed the bottom of the container, and then broke the lock on one side, Xie Tian opened the box door.

"Hey, Old Cheng, I'm really telling you right!" Xie Tian turned his head and said to Lao Zheng below: "It's really a good thing! It's all LCD TV..."

Lao Cheng was also a little helpless, and LCD TVs were naturally considered valuables, but they were of little use in this case.

Xie Tian was a little surprised after the second container was opened. It was loaded with two very expensive Bentley sedans, but this kind of thing was still not practical in the apocalypse.

The goods loaded in the containers in the future are different, and there are a lot of clothes, which is quite practical. After all, people have to wear clothes, and the weather in the future will be more urgent. There are also electronic products on computers that are not very useful; the whole box of high-end ceramic sanitary ware is basically useless; there are three boxes of imported furniture, so Xie Tian considers moving it into the general control building, which can improve the quality of life. The remaining ones are also a box of daily necessities. This is also practical, but there is no urgent need.

There were very few real practical things, which made Xie Tian a little disappointed, but the last container gave him a big surprise. The large amount of cigarettes sent to Changsha produced in Zhejiang was probably supplied to the entire Hunan Province.

The base of cigarettes is a bit too terrifying. Xie Tianben announced on the spot that each smoker could receive one as a benefit, which was a big surprise for these smokers.

All the useful materials were handed over to the army to transport them back. Xie Tian pulled Lao Cheng and said, "As far as the current situation is concerned, the materials on the railway are easier to obtain. First of all, the quantity is concentrated, not as scattered as in the city. Secondly, the degree of danger is small. You see, we found a zombie on the railway line today, so Lao Cheng, the future development of the safe zone is probably mostly up to you."

Old Cheng smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, I've been working on railways all my life, but I can't do anything else. I'm still very sure about this on the railway."

Xie Tian nodded and laughed: "Old Cheng, from today on, you will move to the General Control Building and then set up a transportation department. You will be responsible for it, and then select some helpers in need. All food, clothing, housing and transportation will be responsible for the safety zone and enjoy the highest level of treatment."

Lao Zheng was somewhat flattered and said, "Thank you so much, the leader. I drove the train all my life. My wife and children kept saying that I was useless, but I didn't expect that the end of the world would be able to be promoted by the leaders."

Xie Tian smiled slightly and said, "Lao Cheng, as long as you are willing to work hard, everyone has their own value. Your expertise may not allow you to get good material returns before, but don't worry, in this safe area, you are one of the most important talents."

After saying that, Xie Tian said again: "By the way, let's take stock of these supplies today, put them all in the warehouse, take a break at noon, have a good meal, and then try to go out again in the afternoon."

Lao Cheng nodded and said, "No problem, I will try to clear the line to Xinyu as soon as possible!"

Just at noon, the supplies that Xie Tian got from picking up the train had not been moved, and the team led by Shunzi had already returned to the safe area. As soon as Shunzi got off the infantry chariot, he ordered the soldiers to start counting the supplies in the open space in front of the general control building, and then ran to Xie Tian to report, saying: "Brother Xie, four people died today, all of them were killed by e2. Our concave tactics are very useful for both ordinary zombies and e1, but there is no way for e2. This thing can jump several meters high, have great strength, high speed, and are also resistant to attacks. Today, I encountered three of them in e2. Fortunately, there was an anti-aircraft machine gun, otherwise the death would be even greater."

Xie Tian asked again: "How much did you get the supplies?"

Shunzi hurriedly said, "I found one at the grain and oil station. I guess there must be fifteen or sixteen bags of rice, and it is estimated that it will be about seven hundred kilograms. However, we have collected a lot of supplies in the supermarket. For details, we are taking stock of the details below. Why don't you go down and take a look?"

Xie Tian nodded, patted Shunzi's shoulder and said, "The four dead are better than what we did that day. It's good, Shunzi, and it's done well."

Shunzi said a little embarrassedly: "This is mainly because the anti-aircraft machine gun is too powerful. With it on the excavator, there is no e2. The excavator can rotate 360 ​​degrees on the spot. No matter how powerful the e2 is, it cannot withstand 12...7 mm anti-aircraft machine gun bullets, right?"

Xie Tian followed Shunzi downstairs to check the inventory of the goods. After counting for a long time, the supplies he received this time were 1,820 kilograms of rice. They also made many small bags of rice in the supermarket. As for the flour, they were relatively less, but only about 200 kilograms. In addition to these, they made more than 300 kilograms of canned food, more than 400 kilograms of plastic-sealed meat, and more than 600 kilograms of instant noodles in the supermarket.

After the materials were counted out, Xie Tian first asked all survivors to collect the weapons assigned in the morning, and then asked someone to detain 30% of the materials into the warehouse. The others were handed over to the leaders of the seven teams of survivors to be responsible for unified distribution. The last food the survivors received was enough for more than 1,000 people to eat for about four days. Within four days, before their supplies were exhausted, the second team would be able to go to the city.

However, Xie Tian was also thinking that if the railway from here to Xinyu Grain Depot could be opened, then it would be only a process to transport grain in, and the grain problem could be completely solved. If you really get a lot of food, you don’t need to let these survivors go out of the city to risk finding supplies. However, even if you don’t leave the city, you will not feed them in vain. At that time, the safe zone will have enough ability to expand the number of troops. With the current scale of 2,000 people, at least the base of the current 300 people in the army must be doubled, and the remaining people can also have more jobs. Now there is more railways. Just the marshalling yard behind the power plant, porters need at least dozens of people. If you send trains to Xinyu to pull grain one by one, a large number of porters will also need.

When Xie Tian thought of a truck of leather that could hold dozens of tons of grain, he was so excited that he couldn't hold it. Not to mention a grain warehouse that can often have tens of thousands of tons or tens of thousands of tons of reserves, even if he picked up a truck of grain, it would be conservatively estimated that the weight of thirty tons would be thirty tons. Every day, each person would give half a kilogram of raw rice and a scale of two thousand people, which was only half a ton of grain every day, and thirty tons of grain would be enough for these people to consume for two months.

In the end of the world, only food can give you a say. If Xie Tian really can support so many people, then so many people will be even more subject to the control of the security zone, and in the future, they can even absorb more people to join here. Xie Tian believes that even the Changbei Security Zone will not be able to have such unique conditions as his own. After all, Nanchang City has been burned into scorched earth, and the supplies they can get are far less than their own.
