Chapter 1661 Brother, yes, yes, yes...(1/3)
Ten o'clock in the morning.
The clouds were thick and the sky was very low, giving people a sense of oppression.
North of Oil City, Shuanghe Town.
On the G4 highway, two dilapidated medium-sized trucks were driving north. The bodies were modified and the truck bodies were raised to be flush with the front of the truck so that they could hold more things.
The headlights of the two vehicles were shattered and a crash bar was installed in the front.
The window glass was broken, but a few iron rods were welded in to fix it.
It can't block the wind, but it can stop zombies.
There were about ten people standing on the carriages of the two vehicles, and at their feet were things like shovels, sieves, poles, and dung pans.
As the vehicle jolts, the things inside the vehicle body also sway, making knocking noises.
In the pickup truck in front, a man was sitting in the passenger seat
Put your legs on the driver's seat of the car.
He held a cigarette rolled in corn silk in his mouth, but he couldn't bear to smoke it, so he kept it in his mouth and put the cigarette in front of his nose to smell it from time to time.
The corn, corn cobs and corn produced at the Da Zhangshu Base can be used to make corn tortillas, the corn leaves and corn stalks wrapped in it can be used to feed pigs, and even the corn silk can be used to make shredded tobacco.
Nothing is wasted.
This kind of shredded tobacco made from corn silk smells like straw when smoked, which is very refreshing and can also treat rhinitis.
The land for planting is precious, and there is no space for growing tobacco. The first priority must be to ensure the cultivation of food.
The vehicle drove to a bridge and stopped suddenly.
thump!
The vehicle stopped suddenly, causing the man sitting in the passenger seat to put his feet forward. He slid down on the seat and hit his head on the iron railing on the window.
The man grimaced in pain, propped up his body with both hands, sat up, and hit the guilty-faced driver twice on the head.
"Stuttering, didn't I tell you how to drive? Slowly apply the brakes!"
"I'm really impressed!"
The man rubbed his head.
With a face full of embarrassment, he stuttered and said:
"Big brother, big brother... the brakes... there is something wrong with each piece."
The man cursed: "If you have a fart problem, I won't have any problem driving it."
He looked at a man wearing a peaked cap in the back seat and said:
"Dapeng, drive the car down there."
Then he looked at Stutter and said, "Stutter, get off the bus with me."
After saying that, he opened the car door and got out of the car.
The dozen or so people on the truck skillfully threw the tools on the truck and jumped off the truck.
Each of them held carrying poles, dung pans, shovels and other tools in their hands and walked under the highway bridge.
Under this bridge is a dry river, and the riverbed is exposed after the river dries up.
The river sand inside is revealed, and these river sands are excellent building materials.
It has not rained for several months, causing the river to dry up. There are also some benefits, that is, it becomes extremely easy to obtain river sand.
Boom boom boom——
After everyone on the truck got off, the two medium-sized trucks drove towards the field ridge next to the bridge.
Try to drive as close to the river as possible to save effort.
Dapeng drove the vehicle down from a relatively gentle place and arrived at the dry river bed.
The river bed is full of stones, river sand, and some garbage.
Dapeng held the steering wheel tightly and drove on the rugged river bed.
"Come over here." Sun Dali took the cigarette from his mouth and shouted towards the truck not far away.
Dapeng and the others drove the car next to Sun Dali and stopped.
Those carrying the dung pans on their shoulder poles jumped off the bridge and began to dig sand and load the river sand onto the dung pans.
A man wearing a ragged leather jacket knelt down and rubbed the river sand, "Brother, the quality of this river sand is pretty good."
Sun Dali glanced at the sand on the river bed, picked up the shovel and dug several times without digging to the bottom, indicating that there was a lot of sand in the river.
"Not bad, at least it's enough for us to pretend for a few days."
The man in the leather jacket had messy hair, which was blown around by the wind. He pressed it down and continued to ask:
"Brother, if we can fill both cars, how many points can we earn?"
Sun Dali thought for a while and said:
"It's overloaded with 40 tons of sand anyway. After deducting the points required for fuel, I estimate that I can earn about 50 points."
"Sigh... The main reason is that fuel is too expensive. If we have points later, we can build an electric truck. When the charging electricity bill is cheaper, our costs will also come down."
"Oh." Coal Ball, who was wearing a leather jacket, nodded.
Sun Dali clapped his hands and shouted to everyone:
"Brothers, start working! We only have 6 hours."
Under his order, everyone began to get busy.
The greenhouse opened the crossbar of the truck body, removed the two wooden boards from the inside of the truck, and placed them on the river bed and the truck body, making it easier for them to carry sand on their backs and load it into the truck.
There are 26 of them in total, and the division of labor is very clear.
Some people are responsible for digging river sand with shovels, throwing the river sand onto the screen, and filtering out some stone garbage and other things.
Use a shovel to shovel some of the filtered river sand into the manure basket.
Some of them used shoulder poles to carry dung baskets containing river sand, and carried the river sand to the truck bed for dumping.
Sun Dali climbed on the roof of the car, holding a telescope he had found from nowhere, with only one side of the telescope left, to alert the surroundings so that he could give everyone an early warning if zombies appeared.
After looking around and seeing that there were no zombies around, I didn't find anything unusual.
He took out a box of matches from his arms, rubbed the fire, and lit the corn silk cigarette he had held in his mouth.
This cigarette has no filter.
Even the whole cigarette is rolled by oneself, and the cut tobacco is bought and rolled by oneself.
Cigarettes without filters are particularly powerful when smoked.
Headed up in a second.
hiss--
call--
He took a puff of cornsilk cigarette and felt refreshed.
The wind is a bit strong, and the wind blows half of it, and he blows half of it.
This made him feel a little distressed about the cigarette, so he put his hands together to cover the cigarette butt and let it burn slower.
Slowly blowing out the smoke, his cloudy eyes showed thoughts.
Forty tons, earn 50 points, which will be divided equally among 26 of them.
One person can earn about 2 points a day.
However, they have to solve the problem of eating by themselves, and each person has to earn about ten points per day to eat.
Generally speaking, you still earn more than working on a construction site, almost twice as much.
Not every team of survivors in the trading bazaar can do this kind of work like them.
At least the whole car is needed, and at least five people are needed.
One or two people come out to do this kind of work. Not to mention other things, just loading sand and gravel into the car can tire them to death.
Only one or two people can handle more than ten tons of sand, and their power is limited.
If you don't fill up your car, you'll be spending a lot of fuel on one trip.
When the time comes, the fuel they spend on points will be more than the points they earn.
The gain outweighs the loss.
On the other hand, if you use your own car to load river sand, you have to be responsible for your own profits and losses. The most important thing is that it is unsafe.
If you encounter zombies, you have to deal with them yourself and bear the risk at your own risk.
The trading bazaar has been under construction recently. In addition to the transportation brigade sent by the government itself, it has also announced the recruitment of survivors to help search and transport building materials.
