Chapter 91: Digging Tunnels II]

However, worries are worries.

Fang Yu will still go all out for whatever needs to be done.

In the subway station, after the second team roasted around the campfire for a while and ate something, the first team woke up.

Fang Yu took out a watch hanging around her neck and checked the time.

They slept for about seven hours.

This watch is what Fang Yu gained in this shopping mall.

There was a watch shop in the mall, which looked quite grand. Fang Yu bought about a few hundred yuan and defrosted it while warming up the fire.

Thawed together, there are rows of batteries.

It was good luck that a few of these watches were still usable. After replacing a few batteries, Fang Yu picked three watches from the pile.

Two for men and one for women.

This was naturally prepared for his team.

Don't worry, given to Wu Wen and Tan Wanjun, Fang Yu put it in his backpack.

Fang Yu used the one she used to avoid wearing it on her wrist, which would cause the battery to fail to work due to the low outside temperature. Also, considering that the thermal conductivity of this thing is quite good, its own heat will be consumed quickly if it is exposed to the outside.

So, Fang Yu took off one of the straps of the watch, hung it up with a necklace found in the mall, then wore it around her neck like a pocket watch and put it in her underwear.

In this way, the watch will not dissipate its body surface heat due to the lowering of the outside temperature.

After thinking about it, Fang Yu simply changed the other two watches into pocket watches. Then he removed the batteries, packed them in a delicate watch box, and put them in his backpack.

The rest of the watches will be divided equally between those in the team who need them, and the remaining watches will be kept for the first team.

However, some teammates who are not sensitive to the concept of time choose not to.

They are now accustomed to this doomsday world without a sense of time.

In other words, for them, knowing the time will make it even more painful.

After Fang Yu woke up in Changshan, she took him and the other two technicians for a walk, and handed over the information about what the second team had done before, as well as the points that she and the technicians had discussed.

And, he handed the schedule he made to Chang Shan.

Chang Shan looked at the detailed schedule in his hand and patted Fang Yu on the shoulder happily. For a good teammate like Fang Yu, Chang Shan could not wait to give 10,000 likes!

It feels so good to not have to use your brain!

Chang Shan only felt that he had a clear understanding of the work ahead when he looked at the schedule, and he was even more impressed by Fang Yu's ability.

This little brother is very capable, has a good temper, and can get along well!

However, Fang Yu was already very tired at this time. After telling Changshan that they could arrange the personnel work, he went to rest with the second team.

The people in the second team have now reached their physical limits. As usual, this time two people from the first team were left to watch the second team rest while the others followed Chang Shan and started working.

After the people from the second team entered the room, they first laid out the mattresses and quilts, and then began to get into bed. As soon as many people got into their sleeping bags, they heard long breathing in less than ten seconds.

Voice.

Even after Fang Yu got into the sleeping bag, the warm and comfortable feeling surged from her body directly to her brain. For a moment, Fang Yu felt a little dizzy.

Then, he fell into a deep sleep amidst the snoring around him.

...

The excavation work was much more arduous than Fang Yu thought before.

In the next few days, Fang Yu and the other 26 people were divided into two teams and began their mining life in the dark.

The two teams took turns to dig 24 hours a day.

The 13 people in each team were well arranged and busy like a spinning top.

Digging tunnels, transporting soil, identifying directions, collecting supplies, collecting firewood, keeping vigil...

For these 26 people, the most relaxing moments every day are sleeping and vigil.

Because every time the two teams go to bed, the other team will reserve two people to stay to watch the fire and keep vigil.

Later, due to lack of manpower, it was changed to one person watching the fire vigil.

Later, it was changed to a rotating system.

The night vigil has become a temporary break. Everyone can take a one-hour break, which can be discussed within the team.

With the shift schedule arranged by Fang Yu, everyone is very clear about their subsequent tasks, and Fang Yu also arranges the rest time appropriately.

This way, everyone can be more relaxed and motivated.

Not to mention that the two leaders worked so hard that the people below were completely afraid to fish.

Needless to say, Fang Yu considered that he might have to dig a tunnel again later. In order to ensure the quality and efficiency of his subsequent work, he regarded this excavation as an advance drill.

He grabbed the excavator and the geological engineer and refused to let them go. He asked them frantically about their respective skills and knowledge. It made them want to drain all their knowledge!

After acquiring theoretical knowledge, Fang Yu immediately started practicing.

Fang Yu worked the hardest during the excavation of the entire tunnel.

Everyone originally thought that Fang Yu would have to take a break soon after doing this.

However, Fang Yu relied on his Iron Stomach skill and his extraordinary battery life to completely astound his teammates.

This recovery of physical strength, which was comparable to that of an "animal", not only impressed them, but also made Fang Yu's prestige rise a lot.

As for Chang Shan, he actually didn't want to work so hard, but Fang Yu, the "animal", was chasing him like crazy.

In order to maintain his reputation, he could only work hard with tears in his eyes.

Now many people in the team have begun to compare Fang Yu and Hong Yuanjun.

Under Fang Yu's occasional "listening", he was pleased to learn that he basically won this comparison.

In addition to the benefits of fame, Fang Yu also gained a lot of mining experience.

Now he has truly become a skilled worker.

The distance between Union Hospital and this location is about five hundred meters.

Under Fang Yu's direction guidance, 26 people worked hard to dig throughout the day, ensuring that at least three people were digging the tunnel at all times.

Due to environmental problems outside, although it is already about ten meters away, some soil is also transforming into frozen soil.

Fortunately, when Fang Yu and others were digging, fires were lit in the excavation tunnels to ensure the temperature.

In this way, with the bonfire, the temperature in the tunnel will rise, and after a little toasting, the ice crystals in the soil will melt, making it easier to dig.

Moreover, after all, this is still a southern region, and the geology is relatively soft. With the permafrost thawing, if Fang Yu and others are quick, they can dig a passage of about ten meters in an hour.

When encountering curves or areas with hard soil, the speed may drop, but the drop will not be significant.

The tunnel they dug is not very big, only about 1.78 meters in height, and about 1 meter in width.

Therefore, Fang Yu and others directly dug a passage of nearly two hundred meters in one day.

The next day, Fang Yu checked the map and found that the straight-line distance to Union Hospital was only over 300 meters.

In this way, Fang Yu and others dug for four days in a row!

During this period, due to geological reasons, the excavation was detoured. Fang Yu and the others dug an underground passage of nearly 700 meters, and then they almost reached the bottom of Union Hospital.

After four days of continuous digging, everyone's arms were extremely sore and swollen, and they wailed every day when they rested.

But once it was time to dig, no one said a word. No matter how painful it was, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered.

Today, it is less than ten meters away from Union Medical College Hospital.

The next tunnel will begin to be dug upwards.

They have to constantly increase the distance between themselves and the ground so that they can break out of the ground.

And this distance is the most critical.

Fang Yu and the others must dig the hole exactly to the entrance of the hospital this time.

Although he said he wanted to come out of the hospital.

But everyone knows that the foundation under the hospital is a reinforced concrete foundation. It would be a joke to try to break it with a pickaxe.

Therefore, they could only open the passage to the position closest to the hospital, and then rush directly into the hospital when they broke out of the ground.

The shorter the time spent in contact with the outside, the less likely everyone is to be hit by the cold wave.

It has been six days since we left the shelter, and finally, everyone has reached the most critical step.

Whether you can successfully complete the mission depends on this moment... right now!
