Sizzling——

Liu Yu led a group of workers in front and used electric saws to cut down the woods in front of them.

The small forest between Nam Van Lake and the ditch they built was quickly sawed down by them. While they were sawing the trees, other workers behind them were not idle either.

Help move downed trees.

Every second counts.

The forest was only a few dozen meters long and was quickly sawed away.

The sound of the chain saw was loud, and a small number of zombies in the lake who had not landed earlier came to the lake upon hearing the sound, and were killed by Xia Liangfeng and others.

After the woods were sawn open, there was no longer any obstruction between the ditch and Nam Van Lake.

Boom!

Two cranes drove towards the lake.

On the shore, Xia Liangfeng and others stood five meters away from the lake, pointing their guns at the lake. If any zombies appeared, they would kill them immediately.

There are 200 people in a brigade, 200 armed militiamen, and 200 pairs of eyes staring intently at them. They can kill zombies as soon as they emerge from the water.

The crane drove to the shore, and Liu Yu and Xie Changshan also walked here.

There are two dyed wooden piles inserted on the shore. This is the dock construction site that Jie Changshan found here in advance.

"Bring the caisson columns here and prepare the crane!" Liu Yu used the walkie-talkie to contact the forklift behind.

Seven or eight forklifts lifted the one-ton caisson from the bottom and inserted it to the side of the crane.

The crane lowers the boom, and specialized workers fasten the boom to the caisson.

The operator in the crane moved the boom and lowered it into the lake.

The boom sank to the bottom of the water until the caisson landed on the bottom of the lake.

After the caisson sank to the bottom of the lake, the crane released the buckle, the boom emerged from the water, and the operation of lowering the caisson was repeated.

Seven or eight forklifts were inserted into the caissons and transported the caissons to the lake non-stop.

Two cranes, one on the left and one on the right.

"There is another crane, why don't we use it together to make it faster?" Ding Meng asked after seeing the two cranes starting construction, pointing to the crane at the back.

Xie Changshan shook his head and said: "The space is too small. Two cranes are enough. Another crane can only be placed in the middle, which is prone to accidents."

"Okay, but it doesn't look very fast..." Ding Meng frowned.

Xie Changshan thought for a while and said: "Don't worry, as long as the caisson is built, it will be filled quickly."

Bang bang bang!

A zombie climbed up when the boom sank into the water.

The crane arm was exposed above the water, and the zombie was also exposed on the water.

After Xia Liangfeng and others saw the zombie, they shot and killed it immediately.

thump!

The zombie fell into the water and sank.

Just after a wave of bombings and loudspeaker attraction, most of the zombies in the lake have been lured out.

This lake is very large, covering dozens of square kilometers and 20 kilometers wide from east to west.

If the area is large, there will definitely be some zombies that have not come out.

Therefore, during construction, a few zombies would be attracted by the noise from time to time and surface.

They are greeted only by bullets.

After the crane operated for more than ten minutes, the caisson was raised and exposed to the water.

Each caisson is one meter in length, width and height, and has a volume of 1 cubic meter.

The depth of the lake on the shore is relatively low, only two meters. In these ten minutes, they stacked two small piers five or six meters long.

"Okay, let's fill the garbage truck with sand and gravel." After seeing this scene, Jie Changshan immediately gave an order to Liu Yu.

Dozens of garbage trucks loaded with stones and sand lined up and arrived at the shore.

Reverse the truck, aim the truck bucket at the gap in the center of the two small docks, and dump the stones and sand on the truck.

The caisson can prevent these sand and stones from rolling to other places and concentrate them in the space surrounded by caissons on both sides.

One dump truck contains 25 cubic meters of sand and gravel, but the gap in the middle is seven to eight meters. After several dump trucks were dumped, the gap was filled with sand and gravel.

A pier with a width of nearly ten meters is being widened step by step.

After the garbage truck finished transporting the sand and gravel on the truck, it immediately turned around and drove to the trading market.

Construction has been going on in the trading bazaar, and a large amount of sand and gravel has been accumulated.

So far, there are still a steady stream of transport fleets loading construction materials outside and transporting them to the trading market.

Three hours passed in the blink of an eye.

Under their continuous operations, Ding Meng watched with his own eyes a pier that was ten meters long and nearly ten meters wide appearing in front of him.

In these three hours, forty garbage trucks transported back and forth, and each garbage truck made three trips.

Thousands of tons of sand and gravel sank into the lake, and were then rolled back and forth by road rollers to smooth the road surface, forming such a small wharf.

According to their original plan, they wanted to build a pier with a width of eight meters, but the plan could not keep up with the changes. A wider one of ten meters would be good.

It's just that as you work further into the lake, the depth gets higher and more caissons and sand are required.

Another hour passed, and the time came to five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour before dark.

Ding Meng found Jie Changshan and said, "Let's leave it like this for now. It will get dark in an hour. Let's continue tomorrow."

Xie Changshan looked at the pier that had grown to twelve meters, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll let them clean it up and call it a day!"

After a few minutes, the crane stopped, and several muck trucks that had been transported lined up to dump the sand and gravel from the trucks into the middle of the caisson.

"Call it done and return to base." Liu Yu kept repeating with a loudspeaker.

There were hundreds of zombie corpses floating on the lake. These zombie corpses were all killed by Xia Liangfeng and the others.

Some zombies wanted to come ashore, but were shot dead as soon as they came ashore.

These bodies are left here and do not need to be salvaged and disposed of.

Because at night, the zombies in the lake will naturally eat them all.

The crane retracted its boom, and the driver drove the crane to the ditch.

Cranes are very expensive, there are only a dozen cranes in the entire Oil City, and it feels distressing to miss one.

Although it is unlikely that anyone will drive away at night if we stay here, we are just afraid of what happens.

It’s not too far to drive back anyway.

The dumped garbage truck carried the workers and drove towards the trading market.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xia Liangfeng, Ding Meng and other escorts also went to the trading market.

Today's mission went very smoothly. After luring out most of the zombies in the lake and dealing with them, it reduced a lot of unnecessary trouble for subsequent construction.

The dock project went very smoothly.

On armored vehicle.

Jie Changshan said with a smile:

"Captain Ding, the progress is going so smoothly. What I was most worried about at the beginning was that the zombies in the lake would put pressure on the project. I didn't expect it to go so smoothly."

"According to this progress, the pier will be built tomorrow and the water intake building will begin the day after tomorrow."

Ding Meng nodded and said:

"Well, I will lead the team back tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Xia Liangfeng and the others will be there later."

"Okay, thank you Captain Ding."

"No, I will obey orders from above."

........

northwest.

A factory building four kilometers away from the northwest base, on the fifth floor.

The black hand rubbed his face, and a lot of dead skin fell off his face.

The climate here is too dry.

After arriving in the northwest for half a month, they changed two places and found this best observation point.

The most troublesome thing here is adding water. Every time you have to take risks and go to the upper reaches of the Beida River to secretly get water.

In order to reduce the frequency of water collection, they bought four large buckets of more than ten liters, which can be filled with water for a month.
