Chapter 1583 Steel monsters break out of the encirclement
After everyone was dispatched, Liu Shiba stayed alone in Building No. 9. Firstly, he had to guard Li Yuanfang, who was still struggling on the line of life and death. Secondly, he had to think about the success rate of his planned plan.
It was almost six o'clock, and there was still no movement from Li Yuanfang, but the people sent out to purchase materials had come back one after another.
Liu Hai and Li Tang were followed by a small truck that slowly drove into the courtyard of Building 9. The truck was filled with various metal reinforcement materials listed by Liu Shiba.
Wang Sihan and Ai Xiaoyue also returned to Building 9 smoothly. A dilapidated semi-truck was piled with various weapons and ammunition. In addition to individual combat weapons and body armor for ten people, there were indeed two Gatlings among them.
Six-barreled machine gun.
The only one who didn't gain much was Ji Xiaoling, because these days, it's really hard to find any complete sets of airbags, let alone complete sets and fragmentary ones. Those auto parts factories disappeared half a century ago.
But this girl is not stupid. She thought of what Liu Shiba might do, so she ran to buy hundreds of beds of various thick old cotton batting at a very low price. The thirty red diamonds were almost useless.
She took out a blue diamond and solved it.
The last person to come back was Nian Xiaonian. Following Liu Shiba's instructions, she found someone to bring back twenty run-proof tires specially designed for heavy trucks, anti-skid chain locks matching the tires, plus a peripheral auxiliary fuel tank and two barrels of fuel, as well as additional fuel.
A hernia light installed on the front of the car.
Liu Shiba looked at the various materials almost piled up in the yard and the several welding masters who had been bought back at high prices. He laughed and said to everyone:
"Let's get moving and put all these things on this heavy truck. First of all, replace the original twenty worn tires with these puncture-proof tires as quickly as possible, and install anti-skid chains on all the tires..."
"Liu Hai, Li Tang, you two should focus on reinforcing the car and add roof baffles on all sides of the rear compartment."
Then, Liu Shiba instructed Liu Hai and Li Tang to install and weld steel plates to the upper, lower, left, right, and front directions of the heavy truck's carriage, basically achieving no dead ends for defense.
If one layer of steel plate is not thick enough, then install two layers. There is no need to weld the whole line, just spot welding to fix it. In the end, only one door is left at the rear of the car, two skylight-like shooting holes are left on the roof, and four or five are left on both sides of the car.
A small shooting hole just wide enough for the muzzle of a rifle to project.
Not only that, but in the end, a layer of tattered container panels was installed on the outermost layer of reinforced steel plates of the entire vehicle. The gaps between the container panels and the inner reinforced steel plates were filled with old cotton wool.
In this way, even if it encounters a direct bombardment from a tank howitzer, this heavily modified steel monster will definitely be able to withstand a large part of the impact.
The two shooting ports on the roof of the rear compartment are undoubtedly welded with two heavy-duty Gatling guns.
These two heavy weapons are welded with rotating turrets, which can shoot within a 360-degree rotation range without blind spots.
The final modification focused on the front part of the car and the power and fuel system of the heavy truck. In addition to installing two cylinders in the engine position, a auxiliary fuel tank with a capacity of 300 liters was also installed inside the rear compartment.
The entire cockpit, like the cabin, is made of three to four layers of steel and copper plates welded together layer by layer. There is no door at the front of the car, so drivers can enter and exit freely from the cabin behind the seats.
In the front part of the car, in addition to the four rearview mirrors, even the front windshield was removed and all was sealed and welded with high-strength steel, leaving only two one-foot-sized observation holes that do not affect the driver's vision.
Eight high-brightness xenon lights are installed on the roof above the cab. If they are turned on at the same time, the person in front will be temporarily blinded.
Finally, a large, rusty bulldozer shovel that is almost touching the ground is firmly welded to the front bumper.
Since they were all mutants who had taken gene-enhancing drugs, the efficiency and intensity of the modifications were far beyond ordinary people. When it was almost eight o'clock in the evening, the entire heavy truck had been modified into a steel monster with a tonnage that seriously exceeded the standard.
Liu Hai raised his head, stared at the monster in amazement, and exclaimed:
"This is the most expensive modified car I have ever seen in my life, with a sky-high price of close to 150 red diamonds..."
Liu Shiba stood behind Liu Hai, patted his shoulder and smiled:
"Now you go up and test the car immediately. Later you will be responsible for driving this heavy truck. No matter what is in front of you, rush over for me."
"Yes, boss."
Liu Hai nodded cautiously, then turned over and got into the cab from the rear compartment, and started the heavy truck.
"boom!"
Not long after the huge roar of the heavy truck sounded, Liu Hai got out of the car and came to Liu Shiba and said:
"Boss, the power of this car is very stable. The Mitsubishi eight-cylinder engine it is equipped with is quite meticulously maintained. Even if it is overloaded for a long time, there will be no major problems. Unless the cylinder explodes, the additional cylinder will not work.
"
"very good!"
After listening to Liu Hai's words, Liu Shiba turned around, pointed at a pile of weapons and equipment on the ground and said to everyone:
"There is not much time left. The Wang family should have started to gather at the old house and prepare to evacuate the gathering place. It seems that they should slowly enter the tunnel, so let's start here too.
Now, everyone must wear body armor and a helmet, get a pistol and a 95 semi-automatic rifle, and have enough ammunition to get in the car. Don't be idle after getting in, and bring the ammunition supply to the two Gatling batteries.
.
Li Tang went to pick up Li Yuanfang who was in the living room and threw it into the trunk. In addition, he must discard all his personal belongings and prepare to set off."
Speaking of this, Liu Shiba said to Wang Sihan alone:
"You sit in the cab and show Liu Hai the route after leaving the gathering place. The first target is the small village at the exit of Wangjia Tunnel.
If the Wang family is really unlucky, I guess the location of the exit may be heavily manned, and they will besiege and kill the evacuees as soon as they show up.
What we have to do is to use heavy trucks to break through the blockade before then and give the Wang family’s evacuees a chance of survival, so it is very important for you, Wang Sihan, to be responsible for guiding the way. Don’t get the wrong destination.”
Wang Sihan stared at her eyes, listened carefully to Liu Shiba's instructions, and finally nodded:
"I can find that small village with my eyes closed. You can't go wrong."
"Um?"
Liu Shiba's expression changed and he said with a sullen face:
"You forgot again, you are not allowed to call yourself my mother in front of me."
"oh!"
Wang Sihan stuck out her tongue, responded and ran into the car.
Then, Liu Shiba pointed at Li Tang and said:
"For the two Gatling heavy machine guns on the roof, I'll be in charge of the one at the front of the car, and you'll be in charge of the one at the back. If the army intercepts you, you don't have to be polite and open fire with all your strength."
After Liu Hai and Wang Sihan climbed into the cab, Nian Xiaonian, Ji Xiaoling, Ai Xiaoyue, and Li Tang also climbed into the heavy truck.
Liu Shiba was the only one left in the courtyard of Building No. 9 who had not yet gotten on the bus. Before getting on the bus, he took out a box of toothpicks from his pocket and walked quickly around the courtyard of Building No. 9, every two seconds.
Bu Bian popped out a toothpick from his fingers and shot it to the ground and disappeared...
