To the north, a group of people and horses were driving vehicles toward the south.
The leader is none other than the man in charge of the prison, Black Snake.
He wanted to go out and search for it personally. After learning the exact information, he felt that he had to obtain the granary reserve.
The roads are muddy and vehicles can easily slip.
So their driving speed slowed down a lot.
...
Camphor tree base.
Li Yu took the black powder from He Chao and was a little surprised for a moment. He originally thought that making the raw materials for bullets would be very troublesome.
So they didn't think about finding black gunpowder directly, but looked for raw materials to make black gunpowder. Unexpectedly, He Chao and the others found black gunpowder directly.
So he asked curiously: "Where did you get the black powder? It should be difficult to find these things, right?"
He Chao thought for a while and said: "There are indeed very few of these things, but there are many lime factories in our place.
Many quarries use this black powder to blow up mountains and forests, so it's not that unusual here.
The black powder was found in a nearby quarry.
It is estimated that a few hundred kilograms of black powder like this can be found. Although it is not much, if you look for it in other quarries, you should still be able to find some.
Mr. Li, the other raw materials for making black powder, sulfur powder, are not difficult to find. Take a look at these..."
He Chao said, asking Li Yu to look at the other raw materials he found.
Li Yu checked them one by one and found that there was no problem.
Seeing these things, Li Yu was very excited. Now that the problem of raw materials has been solved, all that is needed is equipment and equipment.
Progressive punching machine.
This thing is hard to find.
Even He Chao and the others had traveled dozens of kilometers away and searched in nearby counties, but could not find this thing.
Although Li Yu once thought of following Uncle San's suggestion and assembling the parts himself, the efficiency was still relatively low.
If you can find the press directly, the production efficiency will be much higher and much simpler.
If you are looking for parts, it will be complicated to make.
Moreover, few people understand the process of assembling equipment. Currently, only Uncle San understands this. Therefore, Li Yu feels that it is still very difficult to assemble it with parts alone.
However, I have been looking for a long time but have not found a progressive stamping machine. It can only walk on two legs and walk side by side.
Some parts have been found so far, but some key parts are subject to stricter control. So far, there are only three important parts missing.
If these three parts can be found, the third uncle can finally assemble the equipment based on these parts, and then directly make bullets.
"Okay, spare parts, you can go look for them again. If you find them, come back as soon as possible."
He Chao nodded vigorously and replied: "Okay, now on the national highway, I have sent a few brothers to watch over there.
At present, is there anyone in the base who can come and cooperate with us to replace things?"
Li Yu glanced at him and said: "There are some recently, all of them are old acquaintances of yours, and they are all replacement building materials.
But last time, a man came over in exchange for some brass. This thing is pretty good. Okay, you can bring your brothers over later to collect this month’s food.”
He Chao was overjoyed when he heard this, it was time to pay wages again.
In today's apocalyptic world, what is the most reassuring thing is food.
With the heavy grain in their hands, He Chao and his brothers felt full of security.
...
After meeting with He Chao, Li Yu answered inside the base.
Came to the auto repair shop.
I looked at the huge loader that was dismantled and in pieces.
Li Yu asked: "Cannon, how is the modification now?"
Cannon got out from under the car, his face covered in black oil, and he looked dirty like a tabby cat.
Seeing Li Yu come in, Cannon took off his gloves and said proudly: "I have modified this car again, and the bottom strength has been strengthened again.
Even if a grenade is thrown underneath, the car will not turn over and there will be no major problems under the car.
..."
Li Yu looked at this loader that had been modified several times.
I was filled with emotions. With such a loader, I don’t have to worry too much no matter how many zombies there are.
When the ammunition problem is solved again, the development of the base will reach a new level.
There is no need to worry about replenishing bullets, then the firepower can be guaranteed.
Coupled with the height of this fence, they can live in a safe environment, plant well, and then expand the scale of their farmland again.
When food production expands again, it is time for the base to expand again.
Thinking of this, Li Yu felt relieved.
.....
Less than 50 kilometers away from the base, a convoy was approaching.
They are Black Snake and others who came south from the north.
Because the road is slippery and on National Highway 319.
After the last heavy rain, many street trees collapsed, and there were even landslides on a small section of the road.
This landslide was dozens of meters long, and the road was full of rocks.
In these apocalyptic times, there is no road maintenance team, so naturally there is no one to clean up.
If you want to clean up a landslide of tens of meters, you will definitely need to use professional equipment, and the excavator will probably dig for a while.
When Black Snake and the others arrived at the landslide, they were immediately frustrated.
They want to reach Gan City in the south, and National Highway 319 is the shortest distance.
Now the national highway is directly blocked. It is impossible for them to stay here and dig.
Besides, they have no tools.
Therefore, they could only take a detour, bypassing the 319 National Highway and crossing the 318 National Highway next to it.
It's just from National Highway 318. Although there is only one number difference, the distance is still very far.
However, they have no choice. If they want to clean up this landslide, they will spend dozens of times the effort and time.
Just because they passed by National Highway 318, they bypassed National Highway 319 where Li Yu and the others were.
Naturally, the people who were sent by Li Yu, He Chao, and others on both sides of the national highway did not see Black Snake and the others.
...
Big camphor tree base.
After Li Yu came out of the auto repair shop, he returned to the fence.
Looking at Wang Cheng who was driving the excavator, Li Yu shouted: "Wang Cheng."
Wang Cheng, who was driving the excavator, heard someone calling him and immediately stopped the excavator and looked at Li Yu on the wall.
So he got out of the excavator, looked at Li Yu and asked, "Mr. Li, are you calling me?"
Li Yu nodded and saw that the trench they dug in Wangcheng was already two meters high. Li Yu said: "The trench doesn't need to be too deep, it would take too much time. Three and a half meters is enough. This height,
about there.
Once the trench is built, you can find some wood, sharpen it and stick it underneath. When the zombies come, it will be easy to deal with them."
Wang Cheng understood, waved and said, "Okay, Mr. Li. I'll be busy first."
