The sun is scorching.

Xincheng, National Highway 319.

Wow!

A cooperator shoveled a shovelful of gravel from a pickup truck and poured it into the sunken pothole.

Fill in.

There are more than a dozen electric pickup trucks on the entire National Highway 319, loaded with gravel.

At the same time, hundreds of people were doing similar things on the national highway, filling the depressions with gravel.

The national highways built before the end of the world were mainly composed of cement roads and asphalt roads, with different methods used in different sections.

Cement road refers to a road paved with cement concrete. It has the advantages of strong bearing capacity, good durability and low maintenance cost.

Asphalt roads are roads paved with asphalt materials, which have the characteristics of good anti-skid performance, low noise, and fast construction speed.

Part of National Highway 319 is an asphalt road and part is a cement road.

The road surface in this section of Xincheng is mainly asphalt.

However, under the previous high temperature weather, these asphalt roads melted and became uneven.

Various weeds and wildflowers grew out of the cracked cracks.

It has not been maintained for a long time, and a thick layer of dust has accumulated on the road. Vehicles drive by, filling the sky with smoke.

The thunderstorm receded, and after more than ten days of exposure, the water on this road gradually evaporated.

Now that Da Zhangshu Base has started major infrastructure construction, it requires a large amount of various building materials, and these building materials have to be transported back to the base from outside.

Moreover, traveling back and forth between the five satellite cities requires passing through this main road.

Many times, after those cooperating personnel mined and collected building materials outside, during the return transportation, their vehicles always broke down due to rugged roads.

At the same time, trucks carrying various raw materials also bumped, causing many building materials to be knocked out of the truck.

It has greatly affected transportation engineering.

Therefore, after discussions between Li Yu, his second uncle, and others, they unanimously decided to start building the road.

Even if natural disasters will break out later and cause damage to roads, they can't stop building roads just because of natural disasters.

At least now, this main road has been repaired, so that vehicles transporting various materials will not always break down due to road problems.

"Lao Zhang, this area has been filled and leveled, bring the roller over!" Shunzi shouted in the distance.

"Here we go!"

Boom!

A road roller slowly came over and crushed the filled potholes.

"This is treating the symptoms but not the root cause. Road construction is too rough. We should first clean up the gravel and garbage in the pit before piling. What kind of gravel should we use... There is also asphalt in the base. It can be filled with asphalt.

Fill these gaps." Wang Cheng, who was next to Shunzi, sighed.

Shunzi glanced at him and said, "What you said is too complicated and the speed is too slow."

"If you do it this way, you won't be able to repair this road in a month, not to mention who knows when a natural disaster will break out. What's the use of building it so well? It's going to rot later."

When Wang Cheng heard what he said, he didn't know how to refute.

Looking at the workers building roads on the road, I couldn't help but think of the time when I first joined the Da Zhangshu Base.

At that time, there were probably only a few dozen people in the entire Da Zhangshu Base.

At that time, he was working in a cement factory with Ding Jiu, and he was very impressed by that day.

The city lord shot Manager Zhou to death with his own hands, which really shocked him.

After all, the apocalypse had just broken out at that time, and the situation was different from now.

Who dared to kill anyone at that time? Let alone killing people, they would even run away from zombies when they saw them.

As for now...

Killing a few zombies is not much different from killing a chicken, and it will not cause mood swings.

It's around two o'clock in the afternoon, the hottest time of the day.

Wang Cheng and Shunzi stood on the side and watched the construction workers repairing the road.

There are two people on guard in each of the four directions of the road, front, rear, left and right, in case zombies suddenly appear.

Although the weather is hot now, and it's still daytime.

But occasionally there will still be some zombies attracted by the noisy construction sounds.

The roar of the road roller was loud, making a clicking sound as it crushed the gravel.

rustle--

A breeze blew by, and the leaves slowly fell under the hot sunshine.

A zombie suddenly appeared from the road on the right.

This zombie was extremely clumsy, but made no sound as it walked from the grass to the edge of the national highway on the right.

"Hey, here comes another one."

A non-staff member shook the mace in his hand. The mace was stained with some black goo, and sharp iron nails protruded from the head.

He was seen calmly waiting for the zombie to approach, and when the zombie pounced on him, he bent his waist and held his hands as if playing golf.

Whoosh!

The mace accurately hit the zombie's head. Due to the force, the zombie fell backwards and fell on the edge of the national road.

die!

He dragged the dead zombie onto a truck and later burned the corpse.

Today's mutant zombies are able to obtain more viruses from corpses of the same kind, thus becoming stronger during heavy rains and natural disasters.

Therefore, they tried their best to burn all the zombies they encountered after killing them.

In fact, the overall number of zombies is not as large as before, but the few remaining zombies are stronger than before.

Zombies climbing walls are unlikely to appear during the day, so it's not that dangerous.

Most of the zombies that appear are ordinary zombies. These ordinary zombies move slowly due to exposure to sunlight during the day.

When Wang Cheng in front saw this scene, he withdrew his gaze.

He asked Shunzi next to him: "In what year did you join the Da Zhangshu Base?"

"Second year, what's up? What year are you in?" Shunzi glanced at Wang Cheng, feeling a little proud.

Seeing Shunzi's arrogant look, Wang Cheng pretended to be pretentious.

"I... am the 48th member of the Da Zhangshu Base in the first year."

"What the hell, you're so early?" Shunzi looked surprised. He didn't expect that this middle-aged man who was just doing construction in the base would be earlier than him.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "It's not bad, I'm lucky, I was taken over by the city lord early."

Shunzi curled her lips, looking dissatisfied.

"I remember you used to work with Ding Gong, right?" Shunzi asked.

Ding Jiu is in the current Dazhangshu base, coordinating all the projects in the Dazhangshu base, which can be said to have a high position of authority.

"Ang. What about you?"

Although he didn't ask clearly, Shunzi knew what he meant. Wang Cheng was actually asking who Shunzi was with before.

"Congratulations, Director."

"Oh, that's good. Manager He is a good person."

When Shunzi heard him praising He Chao like this, he said, "That's because Brother He manages four outer cities and has much more power than Gong Ding."

"So what." Wang Cheng disagreed.

"Don't talk about this."

Shunzi lowered his voice and complained:

"I don't think it's fair at all. Look at Fu Sheng, Xu Zhen and others were able to enter the inner city later than me. I am also a senior after all, and I haven't entered the inner city yet."

Wang Cheng didn't know how to answer him for a while.

If he relied solely on his true ability, and according to the current four-level points system at Da Zhangshu Base, starting from working as a collaborator, he would probably be barely able to earn points as a non-staff member.

But who gave him good luck?

The first year he joined the Da Zhangshu Base, there was no outer city at that time.

As soon as we come in, there are people from the inner city. What can we do?

"Fu Sheng made a significant contribution when the base was having difficulty producing cement. As for Xu Zhen, the base drainage project designed and built by others ensured that drainage in the base was connected, and there has been no waterlogging until now."
