Half an hour later, Ye Lei drove to Yunfan Port, the largest port in Tomato City. This was not his first time here. In the past, when he was running errands, he had traveled through this port area, which covers an area of tens of thousands of square meters, countless times.
Yunfan Port has an annual throughput of up to 380 million tons. It mainly engages in the loading, unloading and bonded business of goods such as steel, grain and oil. The port has a long history and has been an important hub for foreign trade since ancient times. The starting point of the Maritime Silk Road is here.
In the past, this place was always bustling with activity. Trucks carrying containers shuttled back and forth, and the port's cranes operated day and night, carrying out operations such as loading, unloading, transferring, and stacking. There were hardly any idle people to be seen.
However, Yunfan Port is now empty and lifeless. The trucks and cranes that used to be busy are now sitting there quietly, like a pile of scrap metal.
Due to the arrival of the apocalypse, the people here are either dead or have turned into zombies. Even the survivors who hide indoors are finding it difficult to withstand the attacks of hordes of zombies.
Containers and stacks of steel, equipment and other supplies can be seen everywhere in the port area, but these are useless to the zombies. In order to find food and survive, they will naturally not stay here.
Ye Lei didn't care where the zombies went. He only knew that the port area, devoid of survivors and zombies, was an excellent place to gather supplies.
Those steel plates piled up in the open air were Ye Lei's first choice, and also the purpose of his coming here, to take all the space for his business without hesitation.
He also took some equipment that was prepared for export, because the shelters would have to be completely self-sufficient in the future, and nothing could be missing.
As temperatures rise, the ice and snow in the North and South Poles melt, and sea levels rise. This area will be among the first to sink to the bottom of the sea, and once it is submerged, these precious resources will be lost forever.
Suddenly, he was drawn to a large pile of equipment. Upon closer inspection, he discovered it was the generator he was supposed to find at the generator company. Since there was one readily available here, he decided not to go.
From the diesel engine's nameplate, he could see that the generator had quite high specifications: ten cylinders, a displacement of 958 liters per cylinder, and a power of 3260 horsepower per cylinder.
Total power horsepower, uses diesel fuel, and has a thermal efficiency of 50% (compared to 25%-30% for typical car engines).
Ye Lei wasn't an expert in electromechanical engineering, but these parameters showed that the generator produced enough electricity for the shelter. As for installation, he could only move it back first and then make plans.
He controls the Rippers to stand guard for him, fearing that the survivors will discover his special abilities and capture him as a monster.
A large amount of supplies were inside the container. Ye Lei couldn't see through it and didn't know what was inside, so he decided to open it and take a look.
He drew his Swiss Army knife, and with his 280 points of strength attribute and the high-alloy material of the knife, the container lock was easily cleaved open.
The first box was full of electronic products, including mobile phones and computers. These were probably all intended for export, and Ye Lei took them all without hesitation.
Next, Ye Lei discovered that this place was like a super free market, with a dazzling array of things, and soon he felt somewhat exhausted.
Suddenly, Ye Lei noticed a destroyer, number 053, docked in the port. He remembered this was a civilian port; why would a warship be here? Could it be here to help the survivors?
Ye Lei approached cautiously, keeping the Ripper at a distance, fearing that he would be spotted by the soldiers and subjected to a hail of bullets.
Upon closer inspection, sure enough, the warship was filled with sailors in white naval uniforms, carrying tightly packed boxes from the destroyer to the ground.
The area was already surrounded by heavily armed navy personnel. Ye Lei didn't know what was inside the boxes. Were they supplies for rescuing survivors? Or heavy weapons for eliminating zombies?
Ye Lei watched the well-organized team working busily, the whole environment exuding seriousness and silence. He decided to leave first, not wanting to have any contact with the military for the time being.
Just as I turned around to leave, a dignified voice reached my ears.
"Stand still, don't leave!"
Ye Lei looked up and saw a drone hovering overhead, the sound coming from there. Clearly, his whereabouts had been exposed.
Ye Lei was just passing by and had no worries. He decided to obey orders and stop the operation.
Soon, an officer arrived with four marines. Ye Lei glanced at the officer's rank and saw that he was a major.
"Hello, what are you doing here?"
The major was very polite, which is typical of a soldier.
"I just came to see if there was anything to eat?"
"This area has now been temporarily designated as a military control zone. Please leave immediately."
"I was just about to leave, but you made me stop."
"Please take out your phone so we can check it!"
What are you trying to do?
"We need to confirm that you did not take any photos or videos."
This looks like a mysterious unit!
"I did not take any photos or videos, please believe me."
Ye Lei felt they had gone a bit too far!
"Please cooperate with our inspection, thank you!"
The major spoke with authority yet politeness, making it impossible to refuse. The key point was that the four marines behind him took a step forward, making their intentions very clear.
"Okay, go ahead and watch, it's not a big deal anyway!"
Ye Lei unlocked his Huawei Smart 1000 phone and handed it to the major. After carefully checking it and confirming that there were no photos or videos, the major returned the phone to Ye Lei.
"Thank you for your cooperation, please leave immediately!"
"yes"
Ye Lei playfully gave a military salute, but to his surprise, the major returned the salute. This immediately turned Ye Lei's previously cheerful expression into a serious one, and he quickly walked away.
As he walked, he pondered: What kind of army is this? Why is it so secretive? There must be some unspeakable secret hidden within.
In Ye Lei's view, the only reason they were so cautious was that they were planning a large-scale massacre, and the targets of the massacre were the humans who had already turned into zombies.
Only by eliminating all the zombies can this apocalypse end as soon as possible. However, these zombies are all caused by radiation exposure in humans. If the survivors find out, it will definitely cause a huge uproar and increase social instability.
Ye Lei walked until he was out of sight of the army and made sure there were no drones overhead before he drew his Swiss Army knife and continued to break open the iron locks on the containers to collect supplies.
There's an army here now, so there probably aren't any zombies or survivors. Ye Lei brought the Ripper over to help, which greatly improved efficiency.
After searching for two hours with a zombie, both of them were exhausted. Ye Lei then decided to go back, deciding to come back another time when he had more time, since there were still plenty of supplies here.
