Gan Province, Ji City.

On the S69 highway, a mighty motorcade was speeding from south to north.

Most of the convoys are heavy-duty trucks, and it can be seen from the tires of the trucks that they are loaded with supplies.

Next to the convoy, more than thirty motorcycles were driving.

Since the last time Zhongshi Yang was blocked and robbed by a group of people on his way to transport grain to the oil city, a new motorcycle escort has been added. The motorcycles are small and can shuttle freely on the road easily.

Once you encounter a roadblock and robbery in front or behind, you can go over to provide support in time.

In an explosion-proof vehicle, Xiao Hu was holding a corn silk cigarette produced at Da Zhangshu Base.

Open the car window and let the wind blow into the explosion-proof car.

"Unfortunately, why are Zuo Ruxue in the transportation brigade? This bitch has so much control. She even said that the whole team would stop for 10 minutes at 12 noon, but she insisted that that place was not suitable for a timeout...

..”

Wang Chunqi, who was driving the vehicle, echoed with a smile on his face:

"Captain, you are right. I couldn't stand her when we were at the Wushi transit station."

"Don't mention that moment, I get a headache when I mention it." Xiao Hu rubbed his eyebrows.

"I don't know how the Butcher and Lao Guo are doing. It would be great if they could go to the north. I haven't seen them for a long time."

As he spoke, Xiao Hu sighed.

At the last Da Zhangshu Base Center meeting, he and Zuo Ruxue were assigned to the transportation brigade, specifically responsible for the transportation of materials between the three cities.

At present, the main task is to transport the grain and some basic daily necessities produced by the Da Zhangshu Base to the Oil City, and transport the oil mined in the Oil City to the Da Zhangshu Base when returning.

It is estimated that when the grain is produced in the north, we will have to drive to load the grain from the north and transport it to the oil city.

Anyway, the main task of him and Zuo Ruxue is to be responsible for transportation between the three places.

"Captain, after we leave, who will replace us at the military base in Wu City?" Wang Chunqi asked.

Xiao Hu raised his head and thought for a while, "I remember it seems to be Li Qi and Song Qi."

"Song Qi? Have you never heard of this person before?" Wang Chunqi, his subordinate, asked.

Xiao Hu smiled and said, "He is the younger brother of our Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Song Min's younger brother."

"Oh, I understand."

Heading north, this road they had driven countless times had no obstacles, but the road surface was a little uneven and the speed should not be too fast.

.......

Halfway back to Oil City, Lao Luo wanted to get off the bus.

"City Lord, I'm going to the Trading Market Industrial Zone. A batch of chemical factory equipment that was transported from Southern Paradise is being debugged there. I'll go take a look."

"Okay." Li Yu nodded.

Before Lao Luo left, he didn't forget to close the car door.

The materials and equipment that Southern Paradise has accumulated over the years include not only equipment from several pharmaceutical factories, but also several sets of equipment from coal plants, metallurgical plants, and chemical plants.

However, although Southern Paradise has these equipments, it simply does not have the ability to set them up and run them.

In the past few years, we have been either running out of food or on the verge of running out of food. The first thing we think about every day is how to get more food.

As for these other things, I have more than enough ambition but not enough power.

There are many petrochemical products, including plastics, synthetic fibers, synthetic rubber, synthetic detergents, fertilizers, pesticides, soaps, etc.

They naturally know the benefits of producing petrochemical products.

Not to mention anything else, chemical fertilizers alone can make the crops grown grow better.

However, it's not that easy.

First, we need professional talents and skilled workers.

The second is raw materials. They are in short supply of the oil and coal needed for petrochemical raw materials.

Coal does know where to mine it.

However, after a natural disaster, the coal mine collapses, making it extremely difficult, time-consuming and labor-intensive to re-mine.

And transporting coal also requires truck transportation, and truck transportation returns to another problem, lack of fuel.

After calculation, they found that the investment period for building a petrochemical plant would be too long, and it would not be able to solve their urgent needs.

With their strength, they can't do it.

However, with the support of the Da Zhangshu Base, Oil City has the confidence to get things started.

They don't have to worry about food supply. At the same time, oil can be produced in the Oil City, and there is no problem with oil raw materials.

As for coal, there is a Guxian Yangshan Coal Mine around Petroleum City, which is about 100 kilometers away from Petroleum City.

Moreover, it is an open-pit coal mine, so the cost of mining is relatively low and the difficulty is relatively easy.

In the car.

Li Gang started the vehicle again and drove towards Oil City.

Seeing that he and Li Gang were alone in the car, Li Yu asked:

"Gangzi, why did you just ask to go back to the headquarters base?"

He thought there was something inconvenient to say just now, so he waited for Lao Luo to leave before asking.

"Ahem, it's nothing."

Li Gang coughed twice in embarrassment, "It's just that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I thought we could get together then..."

Li Yu was stunned when he heard this. He counted the days and found that it would indeed be the Mid-Autumn Festival in more than a week.

Over the years, Dazhangshu Base has also become lively during the Chinese New Year.

The candies I gave out to the people below were just New Year’s gifts.

Li Gang now reminded Li Yu that since it's the Mid-Autumn Festival, he can also prepare a mooncake for everyone.

Mooncakes have a long shelf life and contain a lot of sugar, so they should be very popular at this time.

"I'll go back in two days. Third uncle's place...it depends on the situation. I'll have a chat with him then." Li Yu replied.

.......

Northwest of Oil City,

Nanhu Bay.

There were fallen cedar trees all over the ground, and pieces of cedar wood cut into three-meter-long pieces were piled aside.

There was a half-full truck parked on the roadside, and four or five empty trucks lined up to load.

These trucks basically made three or four trips back and forth, filled with fir wood, and then returned to the trading market.

There are still seven or eight trucks on the road, either on their way here or on their way back.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! On the edge of the cedar forest, a man wearing gray short-sleeves was eating a tortilla that had been distributed.

A corn tortilla the size of an adult's palm weighs approximately 125 grams.

Four corn tortillas weigh almost a pound.

The man calculated his harvest today. He could earn 0.5 points by cutting down trees in one day, which could buy almost half a catty of grain.

Thinking of today's harvest, a smile appeared on his face.

He ate more than half of a palm-sized tortilla, and he was a little confused about whether to continue eating the remaining half.

I picked up a 1L ordinary plastic bottle from the grass nearby. The blue packaging was long gone, and there was only a blue bottle cap.

He held the water bottle and took a few gulps.

I felt that my stomach that was only three-quarters full turned into five-cent full, and I put down the water bottle with satisfaction.

A voice came from the side.

"Lao Xu, I feel like logging is easier than working on a construction site!"

Xu Qingwen turned his head and saw Sui Dahua, who was in the same room, talking to him with a smile.

Sui Dahua, like himself, is the breadwinner of a family, with a father and a 13-year-old son.

And he is a wife and 11-year-old daughter.

Originally, he also had a 2-year-old son, but the apocalypse was too difficult, and his 2-year-old son died in the first year of the apocalypse. If his son had not died, he would be almost eight years old now.

By chance, the two of them entered the trading market before the thunderstorm disaster arrived.

and was assigned a room.

And in order to survive, we climbed up the wall to stop the zombies when the thunderstorm was at its most dangerous.

Later, when the trading market system was reformed, both of them became fourth-level members.

Before going up the wall, they both agreed that if the other person died, they would help take care of the other person's family.

I never thought that neither of them died.

Since then, the relationship between the two families has become particularly good.

Take care of each other and support each other.

This time Xu Qingwen wanted to come over from the construction site, but Sui Dahua was reluctant at first.

But now it feels really right.

It’s a lot easier, and there’s one more tortilla.
