Although the sun has been shining for the past three days, the snow shows no sign of melting.
The outdoor temperature remains at about minus 30 degrees.
The soft snow gradually became hard.
Big camphor tree base.
The roar of vehicles continued, and one of them was the loudest, and its tailpipe continued to emit black exhaust gas.
Cannon drives this giant loader to excavate snow in the inner city.
I saw him controlling the remote control lever, lowering the huge bucket and shifting into reverse gear.
Hum hum hum——
Then put the forward gear into gear, and the huge bucket made an unpleasant and harsh sound when it came into contact with the clean ground.
The bucket scoops up the snow.
The bucket is as big as a small room.
The cannon then controlled the loader and poured the snow in the bucket onto the conveyor belt.
A roller conveyor belt continuously transports snow to the other side of the cliff.
Under the wall in the direction of the cliff, there is a small door about three meters wide.
This door is rarely opened, and it has only been opened a handful of times since the zombie outbreak.
Ding Jiu, Lao Xie and others were on the edge of the cliff, watching the conveyor belt retreat the snow.
There were two people standing on the left and right sides of the entire conveyor belt, a few meters apart. They were holding shovels and shoveling the snow that had fallen on the conveyor belt back to the conveyor belt.
On the fence.
Lao Lu led seven or eight people to guard against zombies suddenly appearing around him.
Under such a high-efficiency working method, all the snow in the inner city was cleared in just half a day.
Seeing that there was no snow on the conveyor belt, Lao Xie picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted the cannon.
"Cannon, why did you stop over there?"
Cannon pulled down the handbrake, picked up the walkie-talkie and replied: "It's almost done, the city lord said we can start cleaning up other places."
"Where to start? We can set up the conveyor belt." Lao Xie asked.
After hearing this, Cannon replied: "Close the door on the other side of the cliff and turn the conveyor belt to the south of the wall. I will come over later."
"good."
Another half day passed.
They spent a day clearing away the snow outside the inner city of Dazhangshu Base, Wengcheng, and the main entrance.
The aerial view of the entire Da Zhangshu base shows this structure:
Appears as a rectangle.
To the south is the main entrance, with the first and second outer cities respectively.
The third outer city in the west.
To the east is a cliff, only a few dozen meters away from the wall.
To the north is the fourth outer city that has not yet been built.
Among the four outer cities, there is the inner city.
They have now cleared the snow on the south and east sides, which has opened a gap. The snow will be cleared much faster next.
It’s been a busy day.
Everyone disassembled the conveyor belt and transported it back to the city. The giant loader was too big to enter the city through other doors, so it could only enter through the main entrance.
The loader was driven to the second outer city.
Cannon climbed down from the loader and looked at the already dark sky, feeling a little numb in his right hand.
When operating the mechanical lever of the loader, the mechanical lever shook a little, which made his jaw feel sore and swollen.
After the snow in the inner city was cleared, the view became much wider.
Originally, they could only walk through the main road, and the snow on both sides was too high, blocking their view.
Now that everything has been cleaned up, I feel suddenly enlightened.
........
Northern Commonwealth.
Wu Jianguo hurried to the Governor's Mansion.
After the guard at the door saw Wu Jianguo, he heard a message and received a reply, and opened the door to let him into Yuan Zhi's office.
"Governor, I'm ready and can leave at any time." After Wu Jianguo came in, he said straight to the point.
Yuan Zhi is using scissors to trim a pot of Asparagus indoors.
After hearing what Wu Jianguo said, he slowly raised his head and said, "Okay, where is the ocean? Have you discussed it?"
Wu Jianguo replied: "We have discussed that we don't need too many people to go there this time. We will bring five people from the ocean side, and I will go there with the special operations team.
One helicopter was carrying fuel and the other helicopter was carrying people."
Yuan Zhi nodded and said, "Since you are ready, go ahead tomorrow and be careful."
After saying that, he picked up the kettle and sprayed water on Asparagus.
Wu Jianguo was a little surprised when he heard that he would go directly tomorrow.
So anxious.
But due to his previous professional habits, he did not ask in detail.
So he replied: "Okay Governor, do you have anything else to explain?"
"No, I have already told you what I need to tell you before. The core goals are just those two, just remember them."
"I remember, shall I go down then?"
"Um."
Wu Jianguo didn't waste any time and turned around and left.
It wasn't until Wu Jianguo left the office that Yuan Zhi put down the kettle in his hand.
I stared out the window in a daze for a while.
"I always feel that something is not right, but I can't figure out what is wrong after thinking about it..." Yuan Zhi thought to himself.
After Wu Jianguo left his original office, he returned to his residence.
Returning to this residence where he was alone, he felt a little confused:
He doesn't like to talk and has a reserved personality.
It has been so long since the apocalypse broke out. Whether before joining the Northern Federation or after joining, I rarely interacted with people.
After he was discharged from the army, he went to Liao Province.
I found an ordinary job and kept my name anonymous.
He was an orphan since he was a child. He grew up in an orphanage. The orphanage was also a society, and he was bullied since he was a child.
Studying was okay, but because I was an orphan with no father or mother, I was bullied by a gangster in high school when I was in high school.
It happened that the military recruitment was going on at that time, and he signed up. Fortunately, because of his status as an orphan and his physical fitness, he was drafted.
Two days before departure, he did something he had always wanted to do.
That night, he squatted down until the ruffian was alone in an alley near his home, grabbed the ruffian's head from behind with a sack, picked up two bricks from the ground, hit the ruffian on the head several times, and ran away.
Because he has experienced too much hardship since childhood, his willpower has been tempered to be very strong.
In the military camp, there is no so-called interpersonal relationship. We all train together, get scolded by the instructors together, and run cross-country for more than ten kilometers together.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! He likes this kind of life very much.
This is purely what he has always longed for.
After joining the army for more than ten years, it seems like a dream.
He thought of many people, including his captain who looked like an old farmer, the jackal who was always against him, and the black ant who had a fight with him when they first met...
Those days were the most thrilling, fun, warm and happy days in his life.
Unfortunately........
All this was disrupted by an accident.
Everything in the past is like clouds and smoke.
In the darkness, he looked out the window in a daze, memories flashing in his eyes.
........
the next day.
He got up early in the morning, put on thick warm clothes and a camouflage uniform and walked out of the room.
open the door.
dry and cold.
The coolness is overwhelming.
Arriving at the helicopter that had been prepared for a long time, there were four more people in his plan.
"Captain Wu, my name is Tian Yunxiao. The governor asked us to come here to help you fly the helicopter." A man in the leader came over and said after seeing Wu Jianguo.
Wu Jianguo was stunned. He already had so many pilots in the special operations team he was leading, so why did he send four more people over?
But he didn't say much, as long as it wouldn't cause him any more trouble.
He shook the hand that was extended, and then said: "I refueled the helicopter yesterday, and the fuel to be carried was also transported to the helicopter."
Tian Yunxiao said: "Yeah, I've just seen it. Let's wait for Captain Fan to arrive before we can set off."
"Okay." Wu Jianguo replied with a single word and stopped talking.
The members of the special operations team had also arrived. After counting their equipment, they boarded the helicopter under Wu Jianguo's order.
Now just wait for Fan Haiyang and others to come over.
Time passed by half an hour.
Wu Jianguo looked at his watch and frowned. Fan Haiyang was already late.
He doesn't like late people very much.
Just when he was getting impatient and wanted to go find Fan Haiyang in person, several people walked out from a distance, and the man leading them was none other than Fan Haiyang.
"Captain Wu, I'm sorry, I just had a chat with the governor and it took me some time. It's okay." Fan Haiyang walked quickly in small steps and walked up to Wu Jianguo and said.
"It's okay, can we leave now?" Wu Jianguo asked seriously without much expression on his face.
Fan Haiyang, wearing thick ski clothes and a mink hat, said, "Okay, let's go."
Wu Jianguo nodded and got on the helicopter.
Seeing Wu Jianguo getting on the helicopter, Tian Yunxiao had a sly expression on his face. He came close to Fan Haiyang, whom he was more familiar with, and whispered:
"Captain Fan, does this Captain Wu have any objections to me? I just talked to him and he seemed to be indifferent."
Fan Haiyang smiled and replied: "You are overthinking. He treats everyone like this. That's the kind of person he is. He doesn't like to talk."
"Oh, I thought I did something wrong somewhere. I think I just came here and I don't know where I offended him."
"No, let's get on the helicopter. Will you join us in the helicopter later?" Fan Haiyang asked.
Tian Yunxiao paused, turned his head and said, "Okay."
Then he shouted to the two people on the right: "Xiao Sun, Xiao Wang, you fly that helicopter."
"Okay, Brother Tian." The two nodded, then changed direction and walked towards another helicopter.
On the helicopter.
Tian Yunxiao sat in the driving position, turned his head and looked at the people behind him and shouted: "Fasten your seat belts and sit tight, we are about to take off."
"alright."
"I'm ready."
After Tian Yunxiao heard the answer, he turned around, fastened his seat belt, and turned on the helicopter's instruments.
"Xiao Sun, we are about to take off, you follow us."
"OK."
Buzz——
Soon, the helicopter took off.
Tian Yunxiao drove the helicopter in a circle in the air, and then flew south.
The co-pilot holds a map and guides the direction according to the map.
Although it's not snowing heavily now, the ground is still a vast expanse of white.
Before the end of the world, airplanes had navigation stations and they could communicate using radio.
But now is the end of the world, and the navigation station has long been abandoned.
Without GPS positioning and navigation, they don't know where they are, and they can't navigate to that place based on the map.
They either navigate through electronic stars, or fly through some iconic buildings with the naked eye.
Because they didn't know the specific location of the Big Zhangshu base at all, they could only communicate and fly over the landmark mountains and buildings.
After flying for a while, Tian Yunxiao became a little nervous.
Because he was lost and had no idea where he was now.
The flight lasted for another ten minutes.
Wu Jianguo, who was sitting in the back, looked at the scene on the ground outside the window, and then took out a map from his arms.
The map is marked with dense records.
There is a red line connecting the Northern Federation to the oil city. This line is divided into many sections.
Those marked places all have similar words: Dongshan Mountains, 350 meters above sea level, higher in the east and lower in the west; Anting City, Twin Star Towers...
Looking at the map, he frowned.
It seemed like it was flying a little off.
According to his original plan, he planned to calculate the flight angle and maintain the flight angle to avoid many problems.
As long as you look at the landmarks and mountains along the way, you can at least reach the vicinity of the oil city.
But now after flying for more than ten minutes, none of the marking points he marked appeared.
Looking at the mountains and rivers outside and the buildings covered by ice and snow, he carefully compared the map and calculated their current location.
Thirty-five degrees off!
Depend on!
After realizing this, he was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.
He unbuckled his seat belt and strode towards the front of the helicopter.
"Tian Yunxiao, you flew astray, did you know?" Wu Jianguo's tone was a bit unpleasant.
At this time, the temperature was dozens of degrees below zero, but sweat still oozed from the palms of Tian Yunxiao's hands.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! He said forcefully: "Probably not."
He was specially sent by Yuan Zhi to fly the plane. If Yuan Zhi knew that he had gone astray, he would definitely scold him to death.
And he also wanted to compete with Wu Jianguo.
"Are you sure?" Wu Jianguo asked from his soul.
"..."
Wu Jianguo pointed to the man sitting in the passenger seat and said, "You, go and sit in the back."
The co-pilot was already extremely nervous. They were not fully prepared and were scolded half to death by Tian Yunxiao when they were just giving directions.
Now when I heard what Wu Jianguo said, I felt like I was hearing the sound of nature. I quickly unbuckled my seat belt and walked toward the back in dejection.
Wu Jianguo sat down unceremoniously.
He took out the map and looked at it for a while, then said to Tian Yunxiao: "Turn thirty-five degrees to the west."
After Tian Yunxiao heard Wu Jianguo's words, he straightened his neck and said, "Are you sure?"
"OK!" Wu Jianguo said without hesitation.
"..."
"Then you're responsible for not getting to Oil City!" Tian Yunxiao added after being silent for a while.
Wu Jianguo didn't bother to explain to him, so he unbuckled his seat belt, picked up the map and headed towards the back.
And left a sentence: "There is an electronic beacon when we go back, so it won't be a problem, but it is your job to take us to the vicinity of Oil City. You continue, I'm leaving."
"Ah! No, no, no, Angkor, Angkor, go thirty-five degrees to the west, right? I listen to you." Tian Yunxiao shouted quickly.
Wu Jianguo glanced at him and sat down again.
"It's fifty kilometers off. You have to fly at this angle for about ten minutes before you can get back to the straight line."
"Okay." Hearing Wu Jianguo's confident look, Tian Yunxiao obeyed and did as Wu Jianguo said.
