First, regarding materials.
Because building tunnels requires a large amount of cement and steel bars.
The camp's warehouse was filled with these raw materials.
Furthermore, they found a large quantity of stored explosives and detonators.
They even found a lot of things like asphalt and steel.
Secondly, thirteen dump trucks and more than twenty excavators, bulldozers and other engineering vehicles were found in the camp and tunnel.
Furthermore, there are a great many kinds of electrical equipment.
In short, Jiang Wu no longer needs to worry about the initial construction of the base.
What made Jiang Wu happiest was Ning Guohua and his more than thirty construction site workers.
These are all engineering talents.
With their participation, the construction process of the base will definitely be much more efficient.
Seeing that Ning Guohua seemed a little uneasy, Jiang Wu assumed that he was worried about the situation at the base.
He couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Old Ning, you seem a bit preoccupied. Is something wrong? Just say what's on your mind! Now that you've joined our base, you're one of us!"
Ning Guohua glanced subconsciously in one direction outside the camp, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. After all, I've been here for so long, and it's a little hard to leave suddenly."
Jiang Wu didn't ask any more questions, and patted Ning Guohua on the shoulder to show his concern.
He still values infrastructure talent.
To be able to be in charge of this kind of project, you must be an expert.
We must win them over.
With the assistance of various engineering equipment and the simultaneous collaboration of nearly three hundred people, the moving process was quite fast.
To speed things up, everyone ate only instant noodles and sausages for dinner.
Even Jiang Wu is the same.
At 9 p.m., all the vehicles were fully loaded, even the bulldozers were stuffed with bags of cement.
Even though there were still plenty of materials left in the camp, there was really no other way.
A massive convoy of dozens of trucks and engineering vehicles slowly drove away from the tunnel camp.
Being unfamiliar with the area, Jiang Wu still chose to camp in the small town where he had already rested for a night.
Special vehicles for transporting detonators and explosives were parked in a garage at the entrance of the town, and more than 20 team members were assigned to take turns guarding them.
All other vehicles entered the town.
The bonfire party begins at 10:30 p.m.
Nearly twenty bonfires were lit again on the elementary school playground last night.
Everyone gathered on the elementary school playground, laughing, jumping, and enjoying all sorts of delicious food.
At this moment, they were filled with anticipation and longing for the future.
Zhang Songyu, the soldier who shielded Jiang Wu from a bullet last night, has regained his color and is lying on a portable hospital bed, looking at the cheering crowd on the parade ground with a smile on his lips.
Standing next to him was a doctor named Zheng Juan, who was also looking at the crowd, grinning from ear to ear.
Jiang Wu saw the two men, walked over, and said with a serious expression, "Dr. Zheng, why did you bring him here! Shouldn't he be resting in the operating room? Where are the two team members I left behind?"
Zheng Juan was startled by Jiang Wu's voice and expression, and quickly explained, "Chief, his health has recovered very well, which I also find very strange."
Zhang Songyu said, "Chief, I asked Sister Zheng and two other brothers to bring me here. I'm really fine now."
Jiang Wu carefully examined Zhang Songyu's expression and then glanced at the bandaged area.
There was indeed no bleeding, and Zhang Songyu was in excellent spirits.
Could it be because he has been eating mutated beast meat for a long time?
Jiang Wu seemed to be deep in thought.
He then took out a walkie-talkie, pressed the intercom button, and said, "Old Sheng, can you hear me?"
"Yes, Chief!"
"Go and get a pound of crocodile meat, boil it into soup, and send it to Zhang Songyu."
"yes!"
Zhang Songyu's eyes were filled with gratitude when she heard Jiang Wu's words.
She did not refuse; everyone in the base knew that the leader was a man of his word.
Unless you can prove the leader is completely wrong, you should obediently follow the leader's decisions.
Jiang Wu looked at Zhang Songyu with a smile and said, "Little Zhang, what do you most want to do at the base? You've already died once, so don't stay in the field team anymore. Go back to the base and be my manager!"
Zhang Songyu was startled, and then his mouth dropped open.
A few seconds later, he couldn't help but say, "Chief, I'm pretty good at killing zombies too."
Jiang Wu chuckled and said, "Field team members are easy to find, but people I can trust are not. The base is our foundation. In the future, as a department manager, I should protect the base well. Think about what you hope to do?"
Zhang Songyu fell silent, lowering his head in deep thought.
Jiang Wu wasn't in a hurry. He looked at the crowd on the playground illuminated by the firelight.
They were truly happy.
Especially the survivors who only joined yesterday, like Chef Han.
Despite having endured so much hardship, all they got were two full meals, a slightly safer place, and a group of companions.
Even though they were still thin and bony, they had already regained their vitality.
This, perhaps, is the inherent spirit of the Chinese people—their perseverance and hard work.
Several minutes later, Zhang Songyu raised his head and said seriously, "Chief, thank you for your favor. I used to be a high school teacher. Now, may I ask you to set up a school? The base now has 35 children under the age of 18."
Jiang Wu was taken aback and asked doubtfully, "Would it be useful to learn those old things?"
Zhang Songyu sighed and said, "It's better to plan ahead. If we don't do it now, it might not have any impact, but what about a year later, or a few years later? I'm not thinking about teaching those useless things. I just hope to teach them to be real people. If everyone is like Tang Min and his ilk, that would be the real end of humanity."
