Chapter 981: Luo Baochun is different (1)
Due to the lack of transportation capacity, the entire stone-carrying operation lasted a total of one and a half days. Even Lao Xu himself could not remember how many times he traveled between the stone storage site and the station.
But no matter what, their team finally transported all the red bricks from the stone storage area back intact.
With these batches of bricks, the large-scale construction plan for the station has been finalized.
When Lao Zhao, Wang Qiang, and Tang Xiaoquan decided that the village would be the second shelter, they went out to get supplies.
These include yellow sand and other building materials. Although the quantity is not large, they can be harvested first.
Water is indispensable for building a wall, and to completely surround an entire village of 20 households, a large amount of water is needed.
The water supply has been cut off for a long time, and most of the survivors rely on melted snow, mineral water and other supplies collected earlier for daily water use.
Therefore, if they rely on these things to build walls, they will not be able to survive.
Fortunately, the survivors encountered a pond along the way.
The pond is not dry now due to accumulation of rain and snow.
But since it is stagnant water, it is too dangerous to use the water source for practical use. However, it would be perfect if it is used to build walls with sand.
In order to bring back as much water as possible, Lao Xu specially ordered the carpenter Yue Guishan to build a vessel that could carry water.
In view of Lao Xu's urgent urging, Yue Guishan, who didn't have much time, flexibly dragged out the "chest of drawers", the most valuable piece of furniture in the village.
Putting aside obstacles such as drawers on the front, Yue Guishan opened a big opening for the cook.
Then I found a certain camping tent and "removed the skin and ribs" to remove the top fabric.
The fabric is waterproof and can be used to store water when laid in the kitchen groove.
After finishing it, Yue Guishan simply sewed it and handed the finished product to Lao Xu.
Everyone worked together to lift the water reservoir into the trunk of the JAC, and it survived. The size and length were very suitable.
The only regret is that after installing this product in the carriage, it becomes a little difficult to load people.
"Wei Dazhuang! Wang Qiang! Hua Biao! Li Xiaoxin! The four of you come with me!" Lao Xu acted vigorously and resolutely. He directly called several people to get in the car and leave.
With so many things to worry about, Lao Xu is undoubtedly the one who is most worried about the team at the moment.
There was no way, what happened at the Yuhuan Stadium was a pain he could not forget, and he did not want or let the same thing happen to his team again.
The pond is not very far from the station. It is much closer than the stone deposit.
It only takes about 10 minutes to drive there, but the bumpy country road really makes the "passengers" in the car suffer a lot.
"Haha, company commander, when we stabilize from now on, we need to straighten out the rules of entry and exit." Hua Biao said with a hint of joking.
But as the saying goes, the speaker has no intention. Listening to Hua Biao's joke with intention, Lao Xu took it to heart.
After all, as the saying goes, if you want to get rich, you must first build roads. Although doomsday is approaching, the issue of wealth is no longer something that humans need to consider.
But having a good road will be very useful in the future whether it is transporting supplies or escaping from disasters.
Therefore, Lao Xu nodded almost subconsciously.
The car drove steadily, and within a short time, the familiar pond appeared in front of Lao Xu.
The pond is quite large. Judging from its location, it should have been a fish pond built by nearby villagers before the apocalypse.
It's a pity that there are no fish now, otherwise the survivors can make up some and go home to try them.
"Let's do it!"
Considering the weight and manpower issues, the survivors gave up the idea of moving the water tank into the car.
Although everyone can bear its current weight, but when it is fully loaded with water, it will not be easily lifted by Lao Xu and the other five people.
If the sink cannot be removed, the installation efficiency will be greatly reduced.
If anyone were passing by at this moment, they would definitely be surprised by the feats of the five great men.
Going back and forth, getting on and off the bus, Lao Xu and his team members were holding a big basin and mechanically repeating the same thing.
At the same time, Lao Zhao, who was stationed at the station, also began to prepare for building the wall.
Since Bi Dahu and Yue Guishan had both worked at the construction site, Lao Zhao specially arranged for them to be the foreman's deputies. After a brief explanation, he ordered the two to select personnel and shake the mud.
With these small steps, the construction of the survivor camp has officially begun.
"Hey, Da Zhuang, how much is left in the tank?"
"Thumb length!"
"Okay, that's almost it. After everyone is done pretending, let's call it a day and go home."
The water tank was not capped. The road was bumpy along the way, and the end result of filling it was also a waste of water.
Coupled with the fact that it was getting late, Lao Xu gave the order to return after weighing the left and right.
Everyone enjoyed the dinner, which was a wonderful feeling.
Although survivors would find the food particularly delicious after working in the past, the feeling is still very different from now.
Yes, this feeling is of course different, because this is the first time they have truly worked together for their home.
Taking advantage of the meal time, Lao Xu arranged work for tomorrow.
"Tomorrow, Lao Zhao will continue to lead people to build the wall. Da Zhuang, Qiangzi, Huabiao, Li Xiaoxin, Xiao Hu, and Xiao Luo will follow me to the community. Oh, and Xiao De, you are responsible for leading the way. Do you have any questions?
"
"No!" Hua Biao and others responded simply.
After Derek comforted Demi, he also responded in the affirmative.
Only Luo Baochun was hesitant and unclear.
"Xiao Luo, what's the matter? Say what you have to say." Lao Xu is not a person who likes to be pretentious. His name is Luo Baochun. The main reason is that there are available cars along the way, so I just asked him to check them and bring them back if they can be used.
After all, fuel is limited, so if you can do what is possible at once, there is no need to divide it into two times.
Luo Baochun seemed to have something unspeakable, and he apologized for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, Lao Xu, I may not be able to go with you tomorrow?"
Looking at each other, Luo Baochun's words were somewhat unexpected.
Especially Wenquan Xin, as the introducer who brought Luo Baochun into the team, the other party's answer at this moment really made Wenquan Xin feel unhappy.
No wonder, since the team was established, no one has ever refused to participate in team actions, so it is reasonable for Luo Baochun's behavior to shock everyone.
"Hey, Fatty! What's going on with you? Why can't you go out with the team?"
After fighting in the apocalypse for a long time, a person's temperament will inevitably change. Wenquan Xin thought that he was an honest and easy-going child back then.
But after killing too much, he became more violent in his bones.
He didn't think much and just released his dissatisfaction.
Facing Wenquan Xin's questioning, Luo Baochun, who was already so embarrassed that he wanted to find a hole in the ground, was even more at a loss at this moment.
