Chapter 1720 Every second counts(1/2)
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
Oil City.
On the wall, Lao Luo was doing his routine inspection, when suddenly there was a noise from around him.
"It's snowing!"
"Luoxue!"
He raised his head and saw the snowflakes falling slowly in the sky. In the gray sky, the snowflakes fluttered and fell on his raised face.
drop--
Within a few seconds of the snowfall, sharp whistles sounded throughout the Oil City and even the Buffer City.
Buffer outside the city.
Zhang Rufeng saw the flying snowflakes and quickly turned his head to look behind him.
Picked up the walkie-talkie and contacted Xie Changshan: "Xie Changshan, stop the construction of the wall quickly and deploy ultraviolet lights quickly!"
The people from their Civil Affairs Department cannot retreat now. They must wait until ultraviolet lights and other equipment are installed at the construction site behind them before they can retreat and seal the east gate of the buffer city.
Sizzling——
There was a commotion on the other side, and Xie Changshan's voice came from the other side, "I know, I'm making arrangements!"
Jie Changshan looked serious and took a deep breath.
He was originally under the buffer city and quickly ran towards the top of the buffer city.
While running, he picked up the walkie-talkie to contact all the supervisors on the construction site.
"Stop the construction of the wall and quickly install the ultraviolet lamps prepared before! Immediately!"
"Also, quickly have them install a temporary enclosed tower and then connect the heating pipes!"
"yes!"
"receive!"
They had reserved electrical conduits before, and now they only needed to install the ultraviolet lamps that had been prepared.
In addition, a week ago, when the buffer city was surrounded by walls, the third uncle came up with the idea of continuing to build a buffer city in the face of the ice disaster.
Save time.
This idea was recognized by the Da Zhangshu base headquarters, and since then water, electricity, and heating pipelines have been laid.
Because the buffer city is surrounded, it can resist the swarms of ordinary zombies. As for wall-climbing zombies, as long as ultraviolet lights are installed, there will be no problem.
In this way, the construction of greenhouses and other buildings in the buffer city can continue without worrying about zombies crawling in from outside the buffer city.
Therefore, they dug out from the trading market and buried the heating pipes in advance, which led to the pipes reserved in advance on the wall.
The perimeter of the buffer city wall is tens of thousands of meters, and building a guard tower of an average of 300 meters requires about 100 guard towers.
If it is to build a concrete fixed sentry tower, it will take a lot of time, but if it is a container-type closed sentry tower, you only need to lift the container up with a crane and fix it.
Installation is extremely fast.
These container-style sentry towers are actually inconvenient to see the outside situation from inside, but at least they are closed.
Keep warm!
As long as the heating pipes and electricity are connected, heating and electricity can be provided inside.
It is suitable for the guards on the buffer city who are on duty here for a long time.
It is particularly important to protect the buffer city walls and prevent wall-climbing zombies from entering the buffer city.
But the temperature is so low now, and if the temperature continues to drop later, the guards will not be able to stand in the snowstorm for a long time, several hours or even more than ten hours.
Sooner or later, he will freeze to death.
More than a hundred sentry towers can provide the guards on the buffer city with a short rest time to prevent them from being exposed to low temperature environments for a long time.
Therefore, the existence of a closed sentry tower is extremely important!
Jie Changshan quickly ran to the buffer city wall and personally directed the installation.
Although the elevator on the inside of the buffer city wall has not been installed in time, there is a walk up and there is scaffolding, so it is not difficult to go up and down the wall from the inside.
There were shouts and shouts everywhere on the construction site.
"You guys, hurry down and help, use roller skates to pull up the container!"
"Group A13, as I told you before, go up and install the ultraviolet lamp. The ultraviolet lamp is in the shed next to it..."
On the construction site, Zhang Shi touched the snowflakes on his head and twisted them into snow water.
The worker he was supervising was not assigned to install ultraviolet lights, so he shouted to the worker next to him:
"Don't run around, wait up there and help tow the container."
Under the command of many supervisors, the workers on the construction site were in chaos and orderly. They stopped the wall heightening project and tried their best to install ultraviolet lights and build temporary container-style sentry towers.
After the snowfall, the temperature did not drop immediately, and it even felt like it had risen slightly.
In addition, there is no wind at the moment, so it is not as cold as expected.
These workers include skilled workers and some are new to the job. Some of them panicked after seeing the snow.
"It's snowing, why don't you let us go back to the trading market?" asked a new worker who had only joined the company a few days ago.
"Yes, our lives are ours too. It's snowing. I want to go back to the trading market."
"It's snowing, and I'm afraid more zombies will come. Should we stay on this wall and wait to die?"
An old worker who had been working on the wall for a long time heard their low-pitched complaints, frowned and cursed:
"Stop arguing. You newcomers are really unruly. Didn't you see that the people from the Civil Armed Forces Brigade are still outside? No one has evacuated. Why should we evacuate if we stay on the wall?"
"Besides, you can only get half a day's points for withdrawing now, and it's not too cold now. If you're afraid of the cold, don't sign up for construction. It's hard to earn points now... If it gets colder later and there's no work to do, just
No points, let’s see what you do!”
After the newcomers heard what he said, worry appeared on their faces.
It's getting cold, it's snowing, and the city will be closed soon.
They stay in the trading market, and if they don't have enough points, they can only wait to die.
Or can we just run out in the wind and snow?
But running out of the trading market at this time is tantamount to courting death.
After thinking about it carefully, I feel that he is right.
"Brother Zheng, what do you think we should do now?"
"Yes, yes, I just came to the trading market and I don't understand anything. What if I have no points and can't buy food here?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The old worker named Zheng glanced at them and said calmly:
"What else can we do? Let's follow the arrangements and finish the work today... As for what happens next, let's see what happens. According to the urine of Oil City, since we want to defend the buffer city wall, I'm afraid we have some considerations.
of."
"Did you see the greenhouse materials over there? I guess there must be work behind it."
"That's good, as long as you have work to do." A man with curly hair patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not far away, the supervisor shouted to them:
"What are you doing? Come here quickly and help us pull this container over!"
"Here we come!" Lao Zheng rubbed his hands and walked over there.
The supervisor stood by the wall, and a huge container was suspended in the air by a crane next to it.
This kind of container is generally 6 meters long, 2.4 meters wide and 2.4 meters high.
The buffer city wall can be placed completely. The width of the buffer city wall reaches 6 meters. If it is placed close to the wall, there is still a width of 3.6 meters on the other side of the wall for passing people.
In the snow.
The line of sight was affected. Zhang Rufeng and others who were outside the buffer city all got out of the car.
It stares straight into the distance, and when it spots a human-shaped object, it will take out a loudspeaker and shout.
"Is it a human or a zombie? If it's a human, raise your hands. If not, I'll kill you!"
Before it snows, they can still see hundreds of meters away, but once it snows and is blocked by snowflakes, they can only see tens of meters away.
The characteristics of wall-climbing zombies are relatively obvious. They like to get on all fours. Although their movements are fast, they can be recognized at a glance.
Once they recognized a wall-climbing zombie, they immediately covered it with firepower.
At this moment, they are facing the most severe test.
The sky is dark and snowflakes are falling.
Behind them, various shouts, orders, and mechanical sounds such as electric drills continued to be heard.
To be continued...
