Chapter 262 Underground Shelter Entrance
Chapter 262 Underground Shelter Entrance
Secretary Wu did not come alone. She was followed by a young and beautiful girl. Secretary Wu introduced the girl to me as Ding Shaoxi, a top student majoring in civil engineering. It is said that she also has an engineering team.
The reason I asked her to come along was to help me with my construction.
Because yesterday they carefully studied my ability to increase the height of the factory wall and found that the one-meter-high wall made by my ability was made of high-strength concrete! Very hard. Instantly, the entire leadership team felt that I was a rare talent and was deeply impressed by my ability. Secretary Gao even issued an order for everyone to fully assist me in putting the unfinished underground shelter project on schedule!
Actually, Brother Chen and I didn't walk around the factory compound yesterday because it was too big. In fact, the factory wall of their base was three meters high before. During the dry season, under the guidance of Secretary Gao, manpower and material resources were invested to increase the height and thickness to four meters, and a high-voltage power grid was placed on top of it. Yesterday, I only increased the height of the wall with the most zombies by one meter to five meters, and repaired the damaged parts of the zombies' attacks. If I really raise the entire wall, I can't do this project.
Although this is all I did, it is enough to more than double the safety factor of the base.
Brother Chen also explained that after the base protection battle that lasted the entire afternoon and even the entire night yesterday, some zombies had already felt that the attack was hopeless and retreated to other places.
So today the guards on the city wall are continuing to strengthen their guard. As for me, they only know that I have earth-related abilities and space-related abilities, and they thought I would not be able to fight against zombies. They were also afraid that I would run away and not fulfill my promise, so they quickly sent Secretary Wu to personally appoint Ding Shaoxi to cooperate with me as the leader and deputy leader of this project, and start work as soon as possible!
Secretary Wu then said, "Comrade Xiao Huo, since you are not a member of our base, Comrade Ding Shaoxi is the leader of this project, and you are the deputy leader. You just need to listen to her when something happens."
When I said this, I clearly felt that the girl named Ding looked at me with a hint of pride.
I was not convinced. This girl was only in her early twenties, right? She was going to suppress me? I suddenly had the urge to leave immediately.
Seeing that I looked unhappy and wanted to strike, the girl quickly said modestly: "It doesn't make any sense to distinguish between the full and deputy levels at this time. Brother Huo, just think of me as your assistant. You have the ability, and we should assist you." After saying that, she smiled sweetly at me, admiration unconcealed in her eyes.
This girl's mouth is like honey, but I like what she says. Then I will not care about it and just follow her, since I have agreed to pay her.
Secretary Wu at the side said with a smile: "Okay, no matter who is right or wrong and who listens to whom, as long as you hurry up and build the underground shelter as soon as possible. By the way, I also sent you a little engineer with super powers." After saying that, he shouted behind me: "Lu Lanxuan, come here!"
This is the silly young man who appeared in front of us. I looked and thought, isn’t this the young man I bumped into yesterday?
So his name is Lu Lanxuan. I thought since he was sent here, he must be of some use, right?
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you have any special abilities?"
He looked at me hesitantly for a long time and said that he did have it, but he had only reached the first level.
When I saw him hesitating, I knew that his ability must be of little use. It might be similar to Shan Ziyu's, making clothes or something?
Seeing me staring at him, waiting for him to tell me his special ability, he scratched his head and shyly told me that his special ability was to make plants grow, but there were no plants for him to use his skills, and he could make wood.
I think the ability to make plants grow should be very cool, but it is true as he said that it is extremely cold now and the ground is covered with snow. The ground is frozen three feet and hard, and nothing can be grown. However, it is possible to make wood, which is another very good ability. Just imagine if he can be upgraded to the same fourth-level ability as Song Jue, then the three of us can do bricklaying, blacksmithing and carpentry work, right?
The three of us form a strong decoration team!
But the girl surnamed Ding is quite interesting, her eyes flickering, as if she is trying to seduce me, or is it because I have become thinner and more handsome and girls are beginning to like me? Suddenly, a word came to my mind - is the word "Pusinnan" referring to people like me?
Without further ado, Secretary Wu planned to take me to work.
I had no choice but to say goodbye to Brother Chen and let them leave the ward. I whispered to Brother Chen to move the two children to a new place, as I was afraid that the original place could not accommodate them. Since I had my stove and coal, I would move them to the small apartment that Brother Chen had bought before. I asked Brother Chen to do a good job of psychological counseling for the children.
Brother Chen told me solemnly that he understood.
I knew Brother Chen had a plan in mind. I told the two children to wait for me after they had packed up the small apartment. I felt that the construction of the underground shelter would not be completed in one day. It would take at least a few days. I still had to go back to rest at noon and at night. You couldn't ask me to work 24 hours a day.
That's too inhumane.
After giving instructions, I followed Secretary Wu into the car and headed for the factory building with the highest wall in the northwest corner of the factory. He was accompanied by several armed policemen, all of whom followed us with real guns and live ammunition. If someone who didn't know saw this scene, they would think the police were escorting us to the execution ground.
The tallest factory building is the large storage warehouse of the entire factory area. Its walls are as high as the factory building, and it occupies a large area, as large as a football field, nearly 1 square meters.
Suddenly, a long-lost memory came flooding back to me, and I suddenly remembered that I had been to this place before. It was when I was a volunteer and we came to this warehouse to collect food.
I still remember clearly the scene when I walked into the warehouse. What I saw was jaw-dropping—countless containers were closely packed together, filling up the huge space, and they were all filled with all kinds of food and supplies. The dazzling array of food and various supplies made people dizzy and overwhelmed.
Now that I have revisited the place, I don't know if it still looks the same as it did back then. However, judging from the current situation, it is most likely still an important place for the base to store food. After all, the entrances and exits are tightly guarded by three layers of police inside and outside, and the tense and oppressive atmosphere is overwhelming.
There is no doubt that such strict security is enough to show that the things stored inside must be extremely valuable. And in such a special period, the most precious things are undoubtedly food and various urgently needed supplies. The importance of these supplies to the normal operation of the base and the survival of the people is self-evident.
The car was parked outside the warehouse door. There were also some forklifts parked outside the warehouse door. Now they were all frozen by the cold weather, so it might not be easy to use them.
All the supplies of such a large base should be stored here. In such a cold day, won't the food be eaten up? How to ensure the normal survival of the residents? I think this may not be something I should think about, after all, I am not the leader of this base.
After passing through layers of checkpoints, I finally entered the warehouse. After entering, I found that the reserves here were far different from what I remembered. There were far fewer containers and food.
After we walked around the container at the door, I could clearly see that a deep pit as big as a basketball court had been dug behind the containers and in the center of the warehouse for storing materials!
It turns out this is the entrance to their underground shelter project!
